Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu frowned and asked, "Is the Fourth Lady's main courtyard also not clean?"

Yu Cui answered honestly, "I'm not sure about this."

"But the news below is that before the concubine married into the Fourth Prince's backyard last year, the Fourth Lady had taken some things from the main courtyard, but she did it very secretly."

"If we hadn't specially arranged personnel to secretly investigate the Fourth Prince's backyard, our people wouldn't have known about it."

"As for the reason, this has not been found out."

Wanyu frowned, "Could it be that someone has really tampered with the Fourth Lady's main courtyard?"

Yu Cui replied, "I too have this suspicion."

Wanyu thought about it, then said to Yucui, "You should continue to have someone investigate this matter."

"Have someone keep an eye on the Fourth Prince's backyard, especially Concubine Mu's yard."

"Also, have someone remind Concubine Mu."

"Although I'm not sure if it's really Concubine De, it's better to be on guard just in case."

Yu Cui replied respectfully, "Yes!"

......

Soon, they arrived at Jinglan Courtyard in the Fourth Prince's backyard.

Wanlin waved her hand with a pale face and asked people to leave, leaving only Nanny Li Jia.

She turned her head with a serious look and looked at Nanny Li Jia beside her.

"Madam, how credible is the news that the Crown Princess just sent over?"

Nanny Li Jia knew that her master was not doubting the Crown Princess, but was speculating on the accuracy of the news.

Since the clues point to Yonghe Palace, who else could it be except Depin, the main concubine of Yonghe Palace?

After all, Depin had risen step by step from a small concubine to the position of a concubine. With her means, couldn't she control the Yonghe Palace?

But who could believe that a mother would harm her own son?!

This is incredible!

"Master, I think the Crown Princess is right."

"Although I don't know if it's related to that lady, but since there are clues pointing to her, we should be more vigilant."

Wanlin nodded in agreement.

Then she asked meaningfully, "How's the situation at the Song family?"

Nanny Li Jia immediately said, "Ever since Fu Jin ordered you and Song Gege to stay in the courtyard to recuperate, you don't have to go to the main courtyard to pay your respects."

"Song Gege stayed in the courtyard all day to take care of her pregnancy and would not even leave her room easily."

Wanlin said meaningfully, "She probably knows she's attracting attention and is on guard against Li, who lives in the same courtyard."

"She and Li lived in the same courtyard, one in the west wing and the other in the east wing."

"She was the first one to serve the Fourth Master, so she was already eye-catching."

"Now, Li is pregnant first, and the pregnancy is even a month ahead of my wife's."

"Plus, my wife's pregnancy is unstable, and I don't know if it can be saved."

Before Wanlin could finish her words, Nanny Li Jia said anxiously and worriedly, "May the Eternal Heaven bless you, my master, and this baby will be born safely."

Wanlin smiled bitterly and touched her relatively flat belly.

"Although Imperial Physicians Cui and Yang didn't say it, every time I saw them taking my pulse and seeing the solemnity on their faces, I knew this child might not be meant for me."

Nanny Li Jia said distressedly, "No, Master."

"As long as you take good care of your pregnancy and take the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, the young lady will give birth safely."

Wanlin said worriedly, "I hope so."

Then she said fiercely, "But I will not let the person who attacked me from behind go!"

"Not even Concubine De!"

She thought quietly, her eyes full of coldness.

【Uya clan! 】

[If I'm sure it's you, I'll make you regret and suffer, and make you experience the same pain I experienced!]

Seeing the distress in Nanny Li Jia's eyes, Wanlin withdrew her thoughts.

She said calmly, "If Song's child is born, it will be the Fourth Prince's eldest son or daughter."

"As long as you have the character '长', regardless of gender, you will have more face in front of the Fourth Master."

"Remember to have our people secretly instigate other people's spies and mention it to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Fu Jin, especially Mrs. Li."

"If Song gives birth to the Fourth Master's eldest son, I'm afraid that after she is promoted to a higher position, she should have no problem becoming a concubine."

"Once Song Gege is promoted to concubine, she will be able to control the entire courtyard. I'm afraid the main house in Jingya Hall will have an owner."

"Li will become a princess in the Song family courtyard. I'm afraid she won't be willing to accept it."

"The Li family is one step behind, and every step behind. It will be difficult to catch up in the future!"

Nanny Li Jia thought for a moment and said, "Master, this method may work for Li, but it may not work for Fu Jin."

"Compared to the Song family, Fu Jin should care more about your baby."

Wanlin nodded, "Of course I understand this."

"My main purpose is not with you, my wife."

"Instead, we need to divert all of Li's attention to the Song family!"

She felt that in her previous life, Li was able to rise to the position of concubine by relying on her status as a bondservant and give birth to three sons and one daughter, so she must have been very cunning.

And precisely because she is now just a concubine, she does not have to worry about as many things as the wife.

[Song family, I'm sorry.]

[In order to increase the chance of keeping my unborn child, I can only push everyone's attention to you.]

[Let me see who is better between you and Li!]

"Fujin won't act rashly until she's completely confident. We can slowly think of a solution."

"Now that my wife is still young and the pregnancy is unstable, my wife will naturally be able to keep it stable."

"As long as we can divert Fu Jin's attention before she makes any move, we can also have a little more protection."

Nanny Li Jia saw the confidence on her master's face.

"Master, is there anything I can pay attention to?"

Wanlin whispered, "Compared to the prince and princess in our belly who we don't know if they will be born, Fu Jin hasn't even been able to sleep with us yet."

"Mammy, what do you think Fu Jin is more anxious about?"

Nanny Li Jia immediately understood and said, "Of course it's to consummate the marriage with the Fourth Master."

"Otherwise, even if the master and Song Gege didn't have the fetus, someone else would have it sooner or later."

Wanlin nodded, "Mammy, you understand immediately."

"Mammy, you should know what to do, right?"

Matron Li Jia: "I understand."

"I have a recipe that can make women have their periods earlier, but it's a bit harmful to the body."

"I think that in order to consummate her marriage with the Fourth Master as soon as possible, solidify her status as the Fourth Concubine, and conceive a legitimate son or daughter as soon as possible, Fu Jin probably didn't care about so many things."

Wanlin smiled faintly and said, "We only put the choice before Fu Jin. The choice is entirely up to Fu Jin."

Nanny Li Jia bowed and replied, "I will arrange it right away."

Wanlin nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

Only after everyone left did Wanlin relax her fatigue. She lay on the couch with a bad look on her face, gently stroking her lower abdomen with her hand and closing her eyes to pretend to sleep.

But he was still thinking deeply about the message that his third sister had just passed on to him.

[Depin...Uya clan...]

【Is it you? 】

[Not only me, but even the main courtyard of the wife's wife seems unclean.]

[Could it be that Concubine De is dissatisfied with both me and Concubine Fujin?]

[The wife was the one chosen for Yinzhen by Empress Xiaoyi before her death, so it's understandable that Depin was dissatisfied.]

【But why did you attack me too? 】

[Song and Li were also the ones that Depin, the birth mother, had assigned to Yinzhen.]

[But the courtyard of these two people is not clean either.]

[Isn't Depin going to attack her own people? ]
