The wish of the Qing Dynasty is fulfilled

That night, there was a cat plague in Jingren Palace.

Suddenly, pairs of glowing eyes appeared in the darkness. The queen drank the calming soup and fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.

Jianqiu, who was on night duty, was just about to go in and tuck in the corners of her master's quilt when she heard a long, shrill cat cry, followed by a scene that terrified her.

There were more than ten cats in the inner room, rushing straight towards the bed.

Jianqiu's cry was drowned out by a woman's voice in pain.

Soon, candles were lit in Jingren Palace, and the lights were bright all night long.

An Lingrong petted these furry creatures one by one, fed each of them some fragrant cat strips, and after they had eaten and drunk their fill, she packed them up and sent them to a farm outside the palace.

Yunti, who was banished from the palace because he had morning sickness for Concubine Hua due to a love affair, was living in this farm. He just sent someone to tell him that this was the cat that Se-ran asked him to take care of, and he didn't ask any questions.

If he knew nothing about cooking, he would have rushed to the kitchen and made several large pots of cat food.

......

The emperor had a good night's sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Su Peisheng standing in front of the bed with a constipated look on his face.

"Your Majesty, there was a commotion in Jingren Palace last night. They say it was a cat causing trouble..."

Su Peisheng watched the emperor's expression change from "Go fart!" to "How dare you tease me?" and could only bite the bullet and finish reporting this sensational situation.

What does the emperor fear most?

He is most afraid of others poking his spine!

He is afraid that others will put accusations on him for the smallest things. If someone in the capital chokes to death from eating too much salty food, he is afraid that someone will take over his position by blaming him. Isn't this a punishment from heaven?

Now that there was a cat plague in Jingren Palace, and thinking about the cats causing trouble at the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Queen, the Emperor cursed in his heart, thinking that the Queen had a problem for always provoking cats, and ordered an urgent silence, and never let the news spread.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The harem was such a small place, and there were cats and women crying. Except for the emperor, the empress dowager and Concubine Hua, no one in the harem slept well. They didn't dare to go out to inquire, and were waiting for dawn to find out what was going on.

The news of the ominous sign appearing in Jingren Palace spread everywhere like wings, and the emperor was so angry that his head was smoking, but he could do nothing about it.

After Sui Yuxuan also heard the rumor, Zhen Huan, who was paralyzed in bed with no energy to take care of the pregnancy, suddenly became energetic. After thinking for a while, she asked Xiao Yunzi to listen to her orders and quietly stir up the already dirty water.

……

The new news that the queen was seriously ill and was confined to the palace to recuperate leaked out, symbolically putting a cover on the matter.

But An Lingrong insisted on destroying this last bit of dignity.

On the same day, he compiled a book about the affairs of Yixiu and Chunyuan and sent it to Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan respectively. Finally, he revealed the explosive information that the emperor had been childless for many years to Xia Yi, who had very average work ability.

Xia Yi struggled for a moment to decide between the options of speaking out and easily losing his life, and finally knelt upright in front of the emperor.

emperor:……

So there is no such thing as divine punishment?

It's all that evil woman Yixiu's fault for harming my offspring!

The furious emperor wanted to go to Jingren Palace and strangle the queen with his own hands, but he was tripped by a palace maid who came quietly.

After hearing Jixiang tell everything according to Concubine Duan's instructions, the emperor, who was no longer young, had to hold the armrests of the chair tightly to ensure that he could sit firmly. He felt a surge of blood and felt dizzy.

After Jixiang finished his report, he fell to the ground and bowed deeply, begging the emperor in a tearful voice to take into consideration Concubine Duan's frail body and the cold treatment she had suffered for many years.

Without waiting for the emperor to respond, she immediately stood up and slammed the copper furnace on the side, and died in a moment.

Perhaps because there were several people guarding him, the emperor felt that he had difficulty breathing. He also smelled the bloody odor in the hall. He felt his temples throbbing and his ears seemed to be blocked and he could not hear anything.

Concubine Duan played this trick very well. She earned a sense of existence for herself when the emperor was furious. Every time more of Chun Yuan's affairs were revealed, the emperor would be more lenient to Concubine Duan because he could not compensate the deceased.

But unfortunately, An Lingrong had given the emperor some good advice, which made it difficult for him to calm down and reminisce about the past and make amends to Concubine Duan. After receiving the stimulation, he would only become more manic.

As soon as the emperor stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Yunzi knelt down and begged the emperor to go to Suiyuxuan.

After Zhen Huan, with her carefully crafted haggard appearance, told the story she had unexpectedly learned, there was only deathly silence in the room.

The posture of tilting the neck was not comfortable, and Zhen Huan finally couldn't help but change her posture, taking the opportunity to secretly look at the emperor.

The emperor's face began to turn red, his nostrils flared, and he looked a little abnormal, with his eyes widening in a frightening way.

Zhen Huan was shocked. This was not what she had imagined. She was a little afraid that the emperor would get angry and hit someone.

Fortunately, one of the emperor's rare virtues was that he didn't like to beat women, although I don't know if it had anything to do with his four and a half strength incident.

Anyway, she is much better than his son who is a bully at home. He is so angry that he is about to pass out and doesn't want to take it out on Zhen Huan.

When Yixiu finally met the emperor, the woman whose face was disfigured by the cat was afraid that her husband would see her in such a miserable state and feel disgusted, but she didn't know that her heart was about to be stabbed several times.

"Evil woman! I have never hated someone so much!"

The emperor said a lot, and Yixiu went from trying to refute him to wanting to just give up, but this one sentence directly hurt her completely.

I have been seeking love for most of my life but never got it. Instead, I got the most special kind of "disgust".

Yixiu collapsed to the ground, and did not react whether the emperor left or the palace gate was slowly closed again.

Even though she knew that this door might not be opened again for a long time, she no longer had the energy to change the status quo.

……

The emperor was drafting an edict to depose the empress, and the empress dowager felt as if her butt was pricked by needles, and she was very uneasy. She was afraid that her plea would displease Concubine Hua and make the son stay and the father die. She also didn't want the Ulanara family to bear the reputation of the deposed empress.

After hesitating for a long time, the empress dowager finally invited the emperor to come. No one knew what the two discussed. All they knew was that the emperor announced on the second day that Empress Ulanara was seriously ill and her condition was not good, and no one was allowed to disturb her.

Yixiu was kneeling in Jingren Palace. She looked lifeless, which made Su Peisheng, who came to deliver the message, feel a little uncomfortable, but he had to complete his task.

"…Empress Ulanara is seriously ill and will soon die… She will not be buried in the imperial mausoleum… She will be stripped of her surname… She will be made a slave and servant outside Empress Chunyuan's mausoleum… There is no record of her in history…"

All that Yixiu was most proud of was taken away by the emperor. He would not allow her to be buried with him after her death, and would only allow her to serve at Chunyuan's tomb from afar as a slave. Most importantly, he would erase all records of her from history books, and no one would know of her existence a hundred years later!

The emperor's move was too cruel. After being married for many years, he knew very well how to hurt Yixiu so that she would feel the most pain. He succeeded. Yixiu was stimulated by this oral order and became mentally confused.

I don’t know how long it took, Su Peisheng had already left, the sky had darkened, and suddenly there was a sound in the empty Jingren Palace.

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace."
