Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Seeing that the situation was set and Galdan had no chance of turning things around, Emperor Kangxi arranged his army in April and returned to the palace with his princes.

Fei Yanggu reported that on the 13th day of the intercalary March, Galdan committed suicide by taking poison at Achaamutatai in despair.

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and immediately led all officials in performing the ceremony of worshiping heaven, and ordered all the troops to return to the capital.

When the emperor led the princes to fight against Galdan for the third time, the fourth prince Yinzhen followed his father to the battle. Without a male master to keep the Fourth Prince's mansion under control, all his evil thoughts came out and he became bolder.

Flowers bloom on March 3rd, and the spring scenery warms people's hearts.

In March, the weather in Beijing has begun to warm up.

It was a sunny and warm day.

Upon learning that everything was going well at the front, the emperor prepared to return to Beijing with his imperial carriage, and there was joy both inside and outside the palace.

In the afternoon, Wanyu carried the little chubby Fengsheng'e to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. As soon as she returned to Yuqing Palace, she heard the news that Xia Chan (Yucui) had just passed on from the people below.

She stood up suddenly.

"What did you say!"

"Concubine Mu was suddenly bumped into by someone, and now she's in premature labor?!"

Seeing his master so angry, Xia Chan was also a little frightened.

I could only cautiously respond, "Yes."

Wanyu slammed the table.

"what is going on!"

"Hasn't it always been fine? Why did you get bumped into this time?"

Xia Chan: "My Lord, this incident happened outside the palace after all, and we are somewhat out of reach."

"What is the specific situation? I have already ordered people to investigate."

A hint of cruelty flashed in Wanyu's eyes!

"Whether it's because of my sisterly bond with my second sister, or to leave a way out for my family and myself, my second sister must not get into any harm!"

"Nothing can happen to the baby in my second sister's belly!"

After Wanyu was betrothed to the prince, she was a little depressed in her own Qiyun Courtyard during that period, but she was also thinking about her future.

After all, the endings of the princes and princesses in history were all very bad!

But later she figured it out.

It was actually a good thing that my second sister married the fourth prince Yinzhen and I married the crown prince.

If the prince treats her well, she will try her best to help Yinreng change his fate of being deposed. If that fails, she still has her second sister to support her.

No matter whether it is the prince who becomes the crown prince or Yongzheng who ascends the throne in the future, the two of them will try their best to protect each other for the sake of sisterhood or for the sake of the family.

Although her second sister didn't know what she was thinking, whether for her second sister or for the Guwalja clan, she hoped that her second sister could give birth to the child safely.

The prince is very good, but the little princess is also good.

Emperor Yongzheng had only one daughter who lived to be married, and this daughter did not live for many years.

So even though she was a little princess, although not as important as a prince, she should still have a good position in Emperor Yongzheng's heart.

Therefore, Wanyu was not disappointed at all because her second sister might be carrying a little princess, and there was still a long way to go.

In addition, her second sister had already lost Anle, so she felt even more distressed for her and just hoped that she could be safe and sound.

Now that she heard that her second sister had suddenly given birth prematurely, how could she not be anxious?

"Xia Chan, no matter how many people you use, I must get accurate information today!"

Xia Chan's expression became serious, "Yes, Master."

Wanyu: "Xia Lu, take this palace's card and ask Dr. Feng to go to the Fourth Prince's residence and take a look at the concubine."

"Go to the Fourth Prince's residence with Imperial Physician Feng and bring the century-old ginseng from the warehouse!"

"Wait until Concubine Jin has given birth safely, then return to the palace."

Xia Lu immediately responded, "I'll go right away."

"Xia Chan, go with Xia Lu to the Fourth Prince's residence and secretly contact the maidservant accompanying the Concubine to see if you can find any clues."

"Come back after you've thoroughly investigated the matter."

Xia Chan: "Yes."

After arranging everything and giving orders, Wanyu waited in Yuqing Palace for Xia Lu and Xia Chan to come back as soon as possible and then give her the good news.

But until sunset, the two had not returned, which made Wanyu even more uneasy.

After Yinreng’s attempts to comfort her failed, he had no choice but to ask the wet nurse to bring Feng Sheng’e over.

He tucked his son into his mother's arms, hoping that his mother would relax a little with the little guy around.

Having my son to divert my attention really makes things much better.

Although she would still look towards the gate from time to time, most of her energy was occupied by her son.

At the beginning of the evening hour, when Nanny took Feng Sheng'e away and Wanyu and Yinreng were about to go to bed, Xia Chan returned.

Wanyu called the person in directly.

As soon as Xia Chan greeted her, Wanyu immediately called her up.

She quickly asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Concubine now?"

Xia Chan: "Master, when this servant came back, Concubine Jin was still giving birth."

"However, Imperial Physician Feng and Imperial Physician Yang are both waiting in the Concubine's courtyard."

"The two imperial physicians said that although Concubine Concubine is not yet due, it is already nine months pregnant and the fetus has grown."

"As long as the concubine can give birth to the baby safely, she can still be raised well."

"The concubine was suddenly hit by a strong force, and now she is having some difficulty giving birth. I'm afraid this birth will affect her future ability to conceive children."

As long as the adults and children can be saved!

Wanyu's expression softened a little, which was a blessing in disguise.

Wanyu: "So how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Xia Chan: "Master, I have checked it out."

Wanyu's eyes sharpened: "Speak!"

Xia Chan: "The concubine's premature birth was caused by the Fourth Concubine and Princess Li."

Wanyu said angrily, "Li? But did Concubine Wu Ya also take action?"

"Didn't I send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Wu Ya? How is she still able to contact Li outside the palace?!"

"She was only just released from house arrest, and the Seventh Princess has only been gone for less than a month. And her biological mother has no heart to mourn, and even has the will to harm her?!"

"And he's my own grandson!"

"She is simply unworthy of being a human being!"

Wanyu: "Please explain the whole process clearly."

Xia Chan then explained in detail.

It turned out that it was a person that Concubine Wu Ya had placed next to the concubine early on. She was an inconspicuous little maid in the main courtyard named Zhu'er.

Before the Fourth Concubine announced her pregnancy, when Concubine Wu Ya's people went to the Fourth Prince's backyard to deliver rewards, they contacted Zhu'er in the main courtyard.

Then Zhu'er contacted Li at the Fourth Prince's mansion and made a plan.

Zhu'er first deliberately said some ambiguous words. For the sake of the child in Fu Jin's belly, Madam Hu repeatedly persuaded Fu Jin to take action on the child of the concubine as soon as possible.

However, the concubine rarely came out of the yard, so they couldn't find an opportunity to take action.

Originally, the Fourth Lady and Madam Hu seemed ready to give up, but Madam Hu accidentally learned of Li Gege's plan and changed her mind.

So when the concubine arranged people to go to the courtyards of the concubine and Li Gege to deliver rewards, she deliberately arranged for a second-class maid from the main courtyard to deliver the rewards.

Sure enough, this maid lived up to everyone's expectations. After seeing the concubine, she reached out and knocked her down with force.

One force can defeat ten!

This second-class maid was named Dujuan. Although she was a maid in the main courtyard, she had long been bribed by Li.

Fu Jin and Madam Hu had long discovered that Du Juan was bribed by Li.

The reason they kept her by their side was to prevent Li from bribing other people so that they wouldn't notice it in time.

Secondly, I hope it can be used for other purposes.

It came in handy this time.
