Secrets of Yuqing Palace

After Wanyu explained everything, she looked at her pale and still unconscious sister before leaving Jinglan Courtyard with her people.

As she walked out of the backyard, she saw the Fourth Prince Yinzhen coming back in a hurry, his steps slightly staggering.

When he saw his second sister-in-law, he stopped and greeted her with red eyes.

"Yinzhen has met the second sister-in-law."

Wanyu felt very upset at this time. When she saw Yinzhen, she thought of her sister lying on the bed and her nephew who she had sent away with her own hands.

Thinking of the culprit, Concubine De, although Wanyu knew that Yinzhen was also a victim, her feelings towards him were extremely complicated at this time.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then nodded and said something in a difficult voice.

"Fourth brother."

"Looking at your expression, I think you know the result."

"I have the best relationship with my sister. She just went through a difficult labor and lost her child today. She is very vulnerable now."

"Fourth brother is her closest person now. Please take good care of her for me."

Yinzhen nodded with difficulty.

The concubine felt uncomfortable, and in fact he felt uncomfortable too.

This is his first child, and a little prince.

That was the continuation of his life that he had been looking forward to. He and his concubine had been looking forward to the arrival of the child together.

When the concubine gave birth yesterday, his mind was filled with the adorable appearance of the child, and the image of teaching him horse riding and archery, and introducing him to reading and writing in the future.

He wanted his children to enjoy the parental love that he lacked.

But unexpectedly, the baby died at birth.

At this time, Yinzhen was just a young boy who had just reached adulthood.

Before this, he had never experienced the pain of losing a child.

This was the first time in his life.

The coldness in my heart is no less than when Empress Xiaoyi left.

Their departure was like the sharpest sword, piercing straight into his already panicked heart.

When he heard the young eunuch report that the child had died, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

It was Su Peisheng who was beside him who quickly supported his master.

Grief overwhelmed him like a surging tide, and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

At this moment, when facing his second sister-in-law, he tried his best to hide his grief and tried to force out a smile that was uglier than crying.

He spoke to his second sister-in-law in a hoarse voice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat with difficulty.

"Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law, Yinzhen will take good care of Concubine Jin."

His body was trembling slightly, like a dead leaf shivering in the cold wind.

Although he tried hard to straighten his back, the unconcealable desolate sadness still permeated the air around him.

He clenched his hands tightly behind his back, his nails digging deep into his flesh, in an effort to distract himself from the stabbing pain in his heart.

The young face has lost some of its childishness and has become more vicissitudes and sad.

Although he tried his best to endure it, the heavy sadness still hung over him like a dark cloud.

Wanyu choked up and said, "Child, I asked Aunt Li Jia to settle her down."

"I'm worried about my sister's emotional breakdown, so I don't dare let her see it."

"As the child's father, you should go and see him and give him a ride."

"Don't let him leave feeling uneasy. Not only has he not seen his mother, he hasn't even seen his father."

Wanyu hoped that he could see with his own eyes the child he had truly longed for, which would magnify the heartache and grief he felt for the child who died young, and then he would remember this child completely.

If you remember this child, you will have more affection for your second sister.

Although her second sister is now just his concubine, she hopes that Yinzhen can take her second sister to heart instead of treating her as just a concubine.

Women in this era will live a happier life if they have the love of their husbands.

He also hoped that if his second sister did something that displeased him in the future, he would be more tolerant of her because he had seen the child being sent away with his own eyes.

Maybe her aunt was too cruel. Even at this moment she still wanted to use him to benefit her relatives.

Hearing his second sister-in-law's words, Yinzhen could no longer control the tears that he had been holding back and flowed down.

His throat seemed to be choked by something, and he let out a suppressed whimper, the sound full of sorrow and helplessness.

In the end, I could only highlight one word with difficulty.

"it is good."

Even Su Peisheng, who was following behind him, raised his sleeves and kept wiping the tears from his face.

He felt sorry for his own master and also for the young master who had just passed away.

Ever since Empress Xiaoyi passed away, the master has become an unwanted little prince, unloved by his father and mother.

Now that the bloodline has finally been continued, the master is full of anticipation and excitement.

He often saw his master happily and seriously flipping through books in the study, and wanted to give his little master a good name.

She even privately expressed her happiness for the young master's upcoming arrival to the portrait of Empress Xiaoyi many times.

It was said that he would soon have a blood relative who would never leave him and would accompany him, so the Empress Dowager would no longer have to worry about him.

But now all this has come to nothing.

The master's expectations were in vain.

Su Peisheng now hopes that the little princess in Song Gege's belly will be safe and sound.

Otherwise, I don’t know how devastated and sad the master would be.

After talking to Yinzhen for a few words, Wanyu left Nansanso with heavy steps and a sad heart.

After returning to Yuqing Palace, she couldn't help crying while sitting on the couch.

Thinking of the culprit, Wanyu called Yucui in.

"How's the investigation going on with the matter I told you to do?"

Yu Cui knelt down and apologized, "Please forgive me, Master. I didn't find anything unusual."

Wanyu nodded. In fact, she had already guessed it after listening to what the imperial physician Yang Guangren said.

The reason why my second sister gave birth prematurely this time was because the baby had been exposed to musk for too long and her little body could not bear it.

But as she told Li Jia and Chun Tao, the culprit was Concubine De!

If she had not sent the bed board soaked in musk to Jinglan Courtyard, her second sister would not have committed such a serious crime after becoming pregnant, and her little nephew would not have died at birth.

"Now that we know the culprit, it won't be wrong to seek revenge on her!"

Wanyu thought about Depin's situation.

Born into a bondservant family of the Plain Yellow Banner, she participated in the selection of concubines for the Imperial Household Department on December 6, the fourteenth year of the Kangxi reign, and was chosen. She entered the palace on December 13.

Now he has two princes and two princesses under his name.

The two princes were Yinzhen and the fourteenth prince Yinzhi, who was born in the 27th year of Kangxi's reign.

The two princesses were the fifth princess raised by the Empress Dowager and the seventh princess born in the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

As everyone knows, the person Depin loved the most was the fourteenth prince Yinzhen.

She didn't think Depin was an unambitious person.

Looking at the course of history, we can see that Concubine De had high expectations for her youngest son.

Now Yinzhen is still young, and is at the time when he is most susceptible to influence and bewitching.

Wanyu thought sinisterly: If the eldest son and the youngest son were to become completely alienated, and both sons hated her, and both sons were to become alienated from her, I wonder if Depin would be happy?

In addition, his Ama Uya Weiwu is now a lieutenant commander of the fourth rank of the Baoyi Guard.

Each flag has five people and is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Imperial Household Department.

The current chief minister is the uncle Fucha Maska. It is easy for him to take revenge on Wuya Weiwu and even the entire Wuya family.

Moreover, she has already written a letter to her uncle, so she will probably hear the news soon.
