Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Zhen Huan attached great importance to Yihuan's pregnancy and sent Qi Ru to ask her questions from time to time.

Now Qi Ru is in full charge of Yihuan's health, and he is very meticulous in his care, and no mistakes can be made.

But it was precisely because Qi Ru went to the Cining Palace too frequently that Hongli became suspicious.

"You said you saw Qi Ru go to the Cining Palace again?"

Aunt Yuhu followed behind Hongli and replied, "Recently, every time Qi Ru checked Shu Fei's pulse, he would go to the Empress Dowager first and then report to you."

Hongli stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed, as if to prove something, and whispered, "Do you think Shu Fei did it on purpose? There is something wrong with Qi Ru's medicine. Will this be revealed to the Queen Mother?"

Yu Hu's evaluation of Yi Huan was, "Given Shu Fei's personality, if she really knew there was something wrong with the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, she would definitely come to the emperor and make a scene. However, over the past year or so, Shu Fei's attitude towards you seems to have changed a little."

"What's the difference?"

"It seems like Shu Fei doesn't seem to care at all. She just plays cards all the time. She didn't have the expected expectations for this child. Her reaction was too dull."

Even though Hongli knew in his heart what kind of person Yihuan was, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard from others that she disliked him.

Yu Hu is a smart man and knows what to say and what not to say.

After all, sometimes the emperor may not like to hear the truth.

I simply turned the topic back to the Queen Mother.

"Everyone knows that Shu Fei was chosen by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace. She is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager's person. However, Shu Fei always seems to have a gloomy face when she comes out of the Empress Dowager's palace. It doesn't seem that the Empress Dowager has learned anything from her."

"The Queen Mother also knows that I am wary of Concubine Shu, so it is impossible for me to learn anything from her."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Well, I'll leave this matter entirely to you. I'll be touring the south soon, and there will be a lot of trivial matters to deal with."

"Is the Emperor going on a southern tour?"

"I intend to personally go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to conduct an investigation. I have only seen the prosperity and stability of the world from memorials, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. The Emperor Kangxi also toured the south and enjoyed himself with officials and people. I should follow his example."

Yu Hu knocked beside him and said, "Your Majesty, who are the concubines taking with them on this southern tour? Empress Dowager, are you going?"

Hongli turned his head in disgust and chuckled, "Why bring her along? I already have an idea of ​​who to choose this time."

On the other side, Jinzhong followed the Fifth Prince back to Yongshou Palace.

When passing by Yiku Palace, Yongqi stopped on the palace road for a moment, finally shook his head, and walked towards Yongshou Palace.

"You're back. Your little face looks droopy. Smile."

Yongqi's smile was uglier than crying.

Wei Yanwan was so disgusted by what she saw.

"Okay, stop laughing. I'm scared when you laugh, kid. How's it going? Did you see your mother?"

Jinzhong shook his head, meaning that he didn't see anyone at all.

Yongqi looked lost and sat aside, saying maturely, "Madam Wei, my mother doesn't want to see me, so I don't have to go anymore."

"Even if your mother doesn't want to see you now, she will see you one day sooner or later."

Just at this moment, someone suddenly came to report that something had happened to the Empress in the Yanxi Palace.

Yongqi stood up suddenly, looked at the eunuch who delivered the message in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "You, what did you say? Say it again!"

The young eunuch didn't expect the Fifth Prince to be there, but he still reported truthfully, "To answer the Fifth Prince, the one in the Yanxi Palace committed suicide."

"!!!"

Wei Yanwan also didn't believe that Hai Lan would commit suicide. What's more, Ruyi was still alive, so how could she want to die?

There is definitely something fishy here!

"Does the Emperor know now?"

"Empress Ling, someone has already informed the Emperor."

"Let's go! Follow me and take a look!"

Wei Yanwan didn't want Yongqi to go, but the boy was so stubborn that she couldn't persuade him anymore, so she had to take him with her.

Soon the group arrived at the Yanxi Palace.

Hailan did not die. If she had not been discovered in time, she would have bled to death.

The flesh on her right wrist was exposed, blood was dripping, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, which was enough to show how ruthless she was.

"Mother! Wuuwuwu! Mother, please don't abandon me!"

"Get out of here! You are not my son!"

Hailan was lying on the bed, breathing in less than breathing out, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Wei Yanwan stood condescendingly at the head of her bed, looking at Hai Lan with a cold face. After a long while, she asked, "You did it on purpose."

"Heh, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Wei Yanwan sneered and said sharply, "If you really want to die, there are countless ways to die quickly instead of resorting to such self-harming behavior. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I have never liked you. You have used dirty tricks to get to the top, but I have to admit that you are very smart."

After saying so much in a row, Hailan took a deep breath and continued.

"I want to see the Emperor and the Empress."

"impossible."

"I want to see the Emperor and Empress!"

"No matter how much you shout, it's all in vain. The Emperor has already deposed you, so he won't come to see you. As for the Empress, she can't come either."

"how come!"

"Why not? The succession ceremony hasn't even taken place yet, and she's been sealed in the Yikun Palace. Well, it's almost the same as you. She's not allowed to leave the palace without an imperial decree. Do you think she can come?"

Hailan's chest was heaving with anger, and she struggled to get up from the bed, but her wrist was too painful and she couldn't get up at all.

At this moment, she turned to Yongqi, who was standing aside, and said viciously, "Are you here to laugh at me? If you really recognize me as your mother, then find a way to let me see my sister!"

"Why would you want to embarrass a child? I really don't know what you're thinking. Okay, it won't be long before the Emperor knows about your failed suicide attempt. You should know the consequences of a concubine committing suicide. It seems you really don't care about yourself or Yongqi."

Yongqi turned his head away and stopped looking at Hailan.

Wei Yanwan didn't want to say much to this crazy woman. She just left a message saying "May you wish me the best" and then took Yongqi's hand and left the Yanx Palace.

The crazy laughter in the Yanxi Palace never stopped until someone entered and the sound stopped.

Hailan is dead.

Died in the night when no one was paying attention.

A bowl of poison shut her up completely.

"Empress Dowager, that concubine has already been deposed. Why do you need to end her life?"

Zhen Huan fiddled with the nail polish on her fingernails, lowered her head and said casually, "A prince doesn't need a mad woman with a bad reputation as his biological mother."

Wei Yanwan felt a chill in her heart when she heard the Queen Mother's words.

It turns out that this was the reason why he pretended to be crazy and stupid and survived for so many years in his previous life, and was eventually sentenced to death.

So the Queen Mother called her here and specifically let her know about this matter. What did she want to say?
