Secrets of Yuqing Palace

As time passed quietly, the thrilling 48th year of the Kangxi reign soon came to an end.

In addition to the turbulent situation in the court, many other things, big and small, happened this year.

Princess Wen Ke, who lived far away in the Mongolian grasslands, gave birth to a pair of twin daughters with great difficulty. The princess almost suffered a dystocia. Fortunately, there was a midwife in her dowry who adjusted the fetal position for the princess in time.

After two days and one night of difficult delivery, the two little princesses in her belly were born safely and the princess saved her life.

Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang cried with joy when he learned the thrilling news in the capital.

In addition to being afraid, he ordered his wife, Fu Cha, to prepare a large amount of medicinal herbs and supplements for the body, as well as various cloths, jewelry and exquisite toys suitable for the little princess, and took them to the Ongniud tribe in carts.

Soetu, who is far away in Shengjing, and Pingfei, who is now in Chuxiu Palace, are both seriously ill and cannot hold on for even two years.

When Yinreng heard that Soetu was seriously ill, he originally proposed to Khan Ama to go to Shengjing to visit his seriously ill great-uncle, but was directly rejected by Kangxi.

Concubine Ping, who lived in Chuxiu Palace, had been depressed and ill because of Yinzhen's death in her early years.

It was just because he remembered revenge and was worried about the prince that he kept holding on.

Now seeing that her enemies were having a hard time, and with several children from Yuqing Palace often visiting her in Chuxiu Palace, she had gradually come to terms with it.

Without that breath to support me, my health is getting worse and worse.

When Wanyu went to Chuxiu Palace to visit her aunt, she found that although she was frail, she looked calm and indifferent, as if she didn't care about life and death.

In addition, the eighth prince Yinsi's family had another new baby.

It was Zhang, a princess in the mansion, who gave birth to a little prince for Yinsi.

When Wanyu was surprised about when Guo Luoluo changed her gender, her second sister Wanlin, who came to the palace, explained her mystery to her and told her another explosive secret.

"Isn't that little prince Zhang's son?!"

Wanlin nodded.

Wanyu thought that Zhang was really bold and was trying to replace the prince with a cat. She looked at her second sister in shock.

"She...she's just a little princess, how dare she do that?!"

Wanlin said with a smile: "She really doesn't dare, but there are people who dare."

Wanyu stared at her second sister curiously, looking eager to learn.

Wanlin smiled and shook her head, then told her gossipy sister the truth of the matter.

It turned out that although the child was not Zhang's, he was indeed the eighth brother's!

Because of the influence of Guo Luoluo and Prince An's Mansion in the army, the Eighth Prince almost favored his wife alone in the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

But in fact, Lao Ba was very resentful and jealous of Guo Luoluo.

So in order to take revenge and for the sake of his own offspring, he has been keeping some concubines outside the mansion over the years.

The biological mother of that little prince was actually the concubine of the eighth prince.

What’s more important is that the concubine is actually a prostitute!

Because of his status not being up to standard and his ambition to seize the throne, he must have a prince.

In addition, there was a precedent of Mao giving birth to a little princess, so Yinsi felt that Fu Jin should listen to his arrangements.

So Yinsi discussed with Guo Luoluo and planned to secretly bring the concubine to the mansion, and then create the illusion that the concubine was pregnant, so that the child would be directly registered under the concubine's name when it was born.

A legitimate prince has a nobler status than an ordinary illegitimate prince, let alone a prince born from a concubine?

But Guo Luoluo is such a proud person, of course she would not agree to that!

It would be fine if he was the son of a concubine who was not presentable, but he was actually born to a lowly prostitute.

Guo Luoluo was disgusted and unwilling, nor was she willing to give a good face.

Seeing that Guo Luoluo was so repulsive, Yinsi felt dissatisfied and thought of his concubine Tong Jia.

Unexpectedly, when Guo Luoluo heard that he had that idea, she immediately exploded.

She didn't raise the child herself, and she would never agree to let Tong Jia, who was fighting with her, raise one!

So she threatened Yinsi that if he dared to register the child under Tonggiya's name, she would not only expose the fact that Yinsi had a concubine, but would also kill the bastard and send a message to Prince An's Mansion, so that he would not get any support in the future.

Yinsi hated her to the core, but he could do nothing about it, so he had to persuade her earnestly that if he didn't have a prince, there would be no possibility for him to succeed the throne.

Although Guo Luoluo regarded Yinsi as her own property, she also longed for supreme power.

In desperation, he could only agree to arrange a lowly adoptive mother for the evil creature.

He also made three rules with Yinsi.

No matter whether the baby is a prince or a princess this time, he is not allowed to bring any indecent people back to the Beile Mansion, and he is not allowed to find women outside.

That bitch can no longer live after giving birth to a child.

If I give birth to a prince in the future, that bastard will have to fend for himself in the backyard. I cannot take anything of my child's, not even a blade of grass or a tree!

No matter who raised that evil child, she is not allowed to be given any respect, and can only be a low-ranking princess!

What Yinsi cared about most at this time was whether he had a son and whether he was qualified to seize that position. As for the requirements mentioned by Guo Luoluo, he didn't care about any of them.

So he agreed to all the requests made by Guo Luoluo.

Seeing that Yinsi was so straightforward, Guo Luoluo felt that he still cared about her.

Finally, he suppressed his nausea and after Yinsi arranged for someone to secretly send the elegant prostitute into the mansion, he sent her directly to Zhang Gege's courtyard.

She became Zhang Gege's personal maid.

In fact, she was just a tool for giving birth to children, and no one cared about the outcome.

So now almost everyone thinks that it was Zhang, the daughter of the Eighth Prince, who gave birth to the Eighth Prince's only prince.

Wanyu was shocked after listening to her third sister's account of the whole story.

She looked cautiously at her third sister opposite her.

"Third sister, you didn't discover the operation of the neighboring mansion and got inspired, right?"

Wanlin glanced at her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If it wasn't the Crown Prince who suggested this, would I have the courage to do this?"

Wanyu said silently: "You are no less courageous than him."

Wanlin was speechless and had to change the subject.

"Okay, how are you doing lately? Are you feeling anything?"

Wanyu touched her belly helplessly.

"There's no news yet."

Wanlin sighed.

"While you are still fertile at your age, you should hurry up."

"It's not good for your health or the future situation if you leave it too late."

Wanyu: "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"If it's confirmed, I'll give you the news as soon as possible."

Wanlin nodded.

"it is good."

"Don't be too anxious."

"If that doesn't work out, I'll just adopt one."

Wanyu was surprised: "Are you willing to adopt someone else's child?"

Wanlin shook her head.

"I'm just in case."

"Other people's children are always theirs. For me, it actually does more harm than good."

Wanyu asked curiously, "Why?"

Wanlin said with a smile, "Have you forgotten the Fourth Lady?"

Seeing her frown, Wanlin gently patted her little hand on the table and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I've got it all arranged."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I have a backup plan for success or failure."

The two looked at each other, and Wanyu subconsciously responded obediently, "Okay."
