Fu Rujin's behavior, which was like that of a mad woman, caused an uproar in the Jinling Palace.

Liu Hua also secretly admired her courage to confront Yinzhen head-on.

But she always thought that things were not simple. However, after thinking about it, she felt that Fu Ruhao could not really do anything to Yinzhen.

An emperor’s food, clothing, housing and transportation were all inspected and tasted by special people.

If Fu Rujin succeeded, Yinzhen would not have to become emperor.

What surprised Liu Hua immediately was another piece of news - Longkodo's father Tong Guowei was dead!

This news caused a real uproar. Fu Rujin was supposed to give birth to a prince in order to be promoted to a noble concubine.

If Yinzhen had considered treating Tong Jia well, he might have given birth to a princess who could have been made a royal concubine.

After all, the Imperial Concubine Dowager is still alive and well in the palace, and the dead person's face is for the living to see.

The emperor's own uncle and his family are not treated well, so who else would work for him?

As soon as the news came out, the wind direction in the palace changed again. The experienced palace maids and eunuchs who had kept their distance from the pregnant Tong Jia Yunrong were now vying to curry favor with her.

Liu Hua played chess with An Lingrong leisurely. She was not in a hurry about this matter, but some people were.

The Forbidden City’s Yixiu is the first.

As for the second one, it is of course Hongli, who is now looking for new retainers and convening an emergency meeting.

"What do you think we should do? Longkodo was criticized so harshly in the outer court, and now that his father is dead, the emperor is still rewarding him."

Hongli drank his tea in a restless mood. He could no longer taste the usual sweetness in his mouth, but was filled with bitterness.

Niuhulu Nianqin was saved many times by Liu Hua, the first of which was in the White Lotus incident, when Liu Wentao and Lin Wulue both vouched for him.

Turning back to the beginning, it is about the incident of the imperial horses being released from the stable at Dinghe Watershed.

Liu Hua also learned from Nianhulu and Nianqin that Yue Axing had let Zhen Huan enter the Yikun Palace.

In other words, the two of them have long been tied to the same rope, which is why Ne Jing is helping to discuss countermeasures with the Fourth Prince Hongli today.

"In my humble opinion, our Fourth Master is afraid that Concubine Chang in the palace will overshadow your mother, Concubine Qian."

Niuhulu Nianqin pointed out Hongli's worries incisively.

Hongli now wanted a strategy, and looked up at Yu Minzhong, a man from Jintan, Jiangsu, who was well-known for his talent.

Yu Minzhong knew that he was the one who was serving him now, so he would not let the Fourth Prince down for his three visits to his cottage.

"Master, in my opinion, to be frank, your current status was given to you by Concubine Qian. The best plan now is to promote Concubine Qian to Noble Concubine so that she won't be suppressed by Concubine Chang at will.

Actually, this is also simple. After all, Concubine Qian's charity work in Jiangnan is well known to many people. She also raised you and the Fifth Prince, and she also has Princess Longyue under her.

I heard that the Empress Dowager likes her very much, and the Queen can rest assured. If Concubine Qian is not promoted to Noble Concubine, who will be promoted?

If it was Concubine Chang, who had been in the palace for less than a year, it would be too disgusting and disheartening for the harem."

Hongli nodded thoughtfully. Now that he thought about it, releasing the news that Concubine Chang was promoted to Noble Concubine was actually not a bad thing.

A newcomer is going to be promoted to a noble concubine. How can it be impossible for a veteran who works hard and endures hardships in the harem to be promoted?

Moreover, as a royal concubine, she had to wait until the baby in her womb was born.

If you can't give birth to a prince, it doesn't matter whether you are promoted or not.

Yu Minzhong was delighted to see that his new master had listened to him, and he added:

"The grudge is not big, but people are the ones to be feared. It can capsize a boat, so it should be taken very seriously.

What Longkodo did has caused public outrage in Jiangnan, and your father has always been known for his virtue.

If the people offer auspicious objects, then the plan will surely succeed.

Liu Hua played chess with An Lingrong and lost four or five games, feeling very depressed.

Seeing Hongli walking slowly towards him with square steps, his posture became more and more upright, and he also had some youthful heroic spirit, unlike his previous silly and cute look of deliberately throwing tantrums and rolling around.

"My son has something to report to my mother. I have seen people among the people who regard my mother as Guanyin Bodhisattva and have even made a statue of her.

It would be better to show it to the Emperor, so that he can know that my mother has a very high reputation among the people."

Liu Hua really didn't understand why everyone liked to play the same tricks as others.

Of course, this is very effective. For Yinzhen, consolidating his rule is the best choice.

Auspicious signs should appear in the royal family, and Yinzhen would applaud the emergence of a virtuous concubine.

If it is discovered that Hongli was the one who secretly tampered with the plan, there will definitely be a lot of anger in the future.

Liu Hua would not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains, and besides, she now has a better way.

"Don't worry about these things. They are all irrelevant. Lord Tong Guowei has passed away, and the Imperial Concubine Dowager wants to return home to pay her respects. The Emperor is very busy.

In the past few days, I have seen more and more people in the palace suffering from runny nose, fever, and cough. The symptoms look very similar to the epidemic in the Forbidden City.

Several palace maids and eunuchs have already passed out, and according to Concubine An, this phenomenon is already all over the streets outside the palace. It is better to investigate carefully and prevent the epidemic.

Hongli was excited when he heard this. How could this be an epidemic? It was clearly timely relief.

The disease in Jiangnan region was serious because there was no medicine. The prescriptions from the Forbidden City had been used for two years.

It occurs once a year, so treat it and it will be eradicated every time.

If this isn't a reward for something, then what else could it be?

After kneeling down and greeting, Hongli turned around and wanted to leave, ready to do it immediately.

Liu Hua stopped him, thought for a moment, and then whispered, "Oh right, ask Imperial Physician Wei Lin to come in person. The more people, the better. No matter how seriously ill, they should be placed first, and then the decoctions will be distributed."

"Yes." Hongli agreed straightforwardly. As soon as he walked out of the villa, he realized that Wei Lin was actually his mother's man.

For this reason, Wen Shichu, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Shen and others who were secretly thinking in their hearts were also the forces of the Nai faction.

When Liu Hua saw Hongli leave, he had no time to lament because the young man had grown up.

All the chess pieces on the table were destroyed by An Lingrong, and Liu Hua was also happy and relaxed. After all, the outcome was definitely a complete loss.

An Lingrong narrowed her eyes slightly, and her watery eyes were filled with a hint of charm.

She stretched out her slender jade fingers and gently traced along Liu Hua's ring finger. Her movements were gentle and teasing.

At this time, Liu Hua was wearing a cotton jacket and felt sweaty.

The heater in the house was emitting warmth continuously, filling the air with a light mist, which seemed to add a bit of hazy beauty to the whole scene.

Liu Hua shouted at Dongli outside the door, "Dongli, use less charcoal. The people outside the palace don't have any charcoal. We are so extravagant here. It won't be good for the emperor to see it."

Seven or eight bottles of charcoal were moved to three or four pots, leaving only half.

The temperature in the room slowly dropped, and Liu Hua didn't have time to catch his breath.

An Lingrong opened her red lips and said with a coquettish smile, "Sister, you've been talking for so long, but you haven't given me any reward! Why don't we try something more interesting?

...How about playing Gomoku?"

When she said this, the smile on her face became even more intense, like a blooming peach blossom, so beautiful and charming that it makes people's heart beat faster.

Liu Hua secretly slapped himself in his heart. It was winter, but why did he think of peach blossoms? He was really tempted by lust.

Then, An Lingrong continued, "Whoever loses this game of chess must agree to a small request from the other party.

Sister, you have to think carefully before agreeing to any request."

Liu Hua was dumbfounded. He had to agree to every request, and they could be considered small requests, but the person in front of him was An Lingrong.
