Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Aunt Hu also nodded in disbelief.

"Fujin, this is like a biting dog that doesn't bark."

"When I heard the news from my subordinates, I couldn't believe it at all."

"It was only after I had it confirmed repeatedly and was truly convinced that I dared to report this to Madam Fu-jin."

"Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have taken so long before I reported the situation to my wife."

Ulanara nodded with satisfaction.

"Madame Hu is right to be so cautious."

"But how did Madam Hu know about this, and how can you confirm its truth?"

"After all, it's not that easy for a princess to replace a concubine's child!"

Madam Hu smiled complacently.

"Fujin, it is indeed the Eternal Heaven that is blessing you."

"When I was living in the Old Summer Palace, it was late at night when Concubine Jin and Princess Niuhulu gave birth."

"People in our main courtyard once saw Qing'er, the second-class maidservant beside Princess Niuhulu, carrying a large food box and sneaking from Tianran Tuhua to Bitong Academy."

"Our people thought it was strange, so they quietly followed behind. However, they only saw Qing'er carrying the food box back to Bitong Academy, and nothing else seemed unusual."

"But at that time, Princess Niuhulu was eight months pregnant. Our people originally thought that Princess Niuhulu was hungry, so they sent Qing'er to the kitchen to fetch food, and we didn't think much of it."

"Plus, the next day I suddenly heard that Princess Niuhulu had given birth to a prince prematurely, and I completely forgot what happened that night."

Ulanara frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"The people below are so careless and confused. Because Niuhulu was pregnant, I had a small kitchen set up in the Bitong Academy where she lived. Why would they need to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to fetch food?"

Madam Hu immediately flattered and praised: "Madam Fu is really smart!"

"And if it weren't for the fact that Fu Jin was smart and noticed something was wrong with Princess Niuhulu in time, I'm afraid we wouldn't know about this matter now."

Ulanara was in a good mood at the moment and was no longer angry at the people below for being careless.

Listening to Madam Hu's flattery, she felt even more proud.

【really!】

[If it weren't for my sharp eyes, I wouldn't have known that Niuhulu had such a scheme!]

Seeing Madam Hu's flattering smile, Fu Jin scolded her with a smile, "Okay, keep talking!"

Nanny Hu smiled ingratiatingly and then continued to talk about the next thing.

"Fujin, it was Princess Niuhulu who learned that Concubine Furen had given birth prematurely and wanted to replace her child with Concubine Furen's. So she hurriedly drank the medicine to induce labor and gave birth to the little prince before Concubine Furen did."

"Then, they bribed the concubine's people in advance and took advantage of the chaos during the concubine's delivery to send the child to the natural painting where the concubine was. Then, after the concubine gave birth, they quickly replaced the concubine's child."

Ulanara paused, somewhat suspiciously, and asked, "How could the people under Niuhulu be so capable that they could easily bribe the concubine's people?"

Madam Hu smiled and reminded, "Fujin, have you forgotten?"

"We were living in the Old Summer Palace at the time, and it was Concubine Jin's first time living in the Natural Painting Garden, and she didn't stay there for long. How could she have completely controlled all the servants in the Natural Painting Garden?"

"Besides, the person who delivered the concubine's baby, and the wet nurse who was found for the young prince, could both take advantage of loopholes."

"Although Niuhulu Gege Ama's official position is not high, she is from the Niuhulu clan after all, so she must have some hidden cards."

Ulanara seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mammy, what you said makes sense."

"However, I have lived with Concubine for so many years, and I have always known that Concubine is not a simple person."

"Back then, we took advantage of Li's people and caught them by surprise. We only managed to cause her to have a premature birth. In the end, I also suffered heavy losses."

"Not only did I lose the prince's trust, I also lost my position as housekeeper. For several years I was a powerless concubine in the main courtyard!"

"Concubine Jin is not a simple person!"

"Furthermore, not long after the concubine became pregnant, the Crown Princess gave Nanny Sun to the concubine."

"Including the people around Concubine Concubine, there are so many people watching."

"Could she really be tricked so easily?"

Madam Hu comforted her, "Fujin, you're worrying too much."

"Giving birth is a very dangerous time for women. I think the people who served Tianran Tuhua at that time were not as steady as they used to be. It is not impossible for them to take advantage of the chaos."

"And I have solid evidence!"

Ulanara's eyes lit up instantly.

"Madam, why don't you tell this lady right away!"

Matron Hu suppressed her excitement and spoke to Fu Jin as if to show off her achievements.

"I also know that Concubine Jin is not a simple person. Unless I am absolutely sure, I dare not tell Concubine Jin about this matter easily."

"Fujin, according to the information repeatedly inquired by the people below in Qiushui Garden, it is said that the little prince born to Princess Niuhulu has a black mole on the sole of his left foot."

"After hearing the news, I bribed someone in the concubine's courtyard and secretly observed the sole of the young prince's left foot to confirm that there was indeed a black mole."

Ulanara was surprised at first, but then became a little suspicious.

"For so many years, it has been difficult for us to bribe the people in the Concubine's courtyard. How come it was so easy to bribe them this time?"

"Jinglan Courtyard is not a natural painting of the Old Summer Palace that can be easily bought off!"

Madam Hu said confidently, "Fujin, how many servants wouldn't want to get a little more reward money?"

"Besides, I only want them to check if the young prince has a mole on the sole of his left foot. I'm not asking them to murder their master or reveal his secrets, which would be fatal."

"It's just a small matter, there's no problem."

"And this kind of thing, in the hearts of the servants, has a tacit understanding."

Ulanara naturally believed in Madam Hu.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and completely believed in Madam Hu's investigation results.

After listening to Madam Hu's report, a look of gloating flashed in Ulanara's eyes.

"This concubine really shot herself in the foot."

"I still remember that when we moved to the Old Summer Palace, my concubine, without my permission, directly persuaded the Fourth Master to arrange for Princess Niuhulu to stay in the Bitong Academy, not far from the Natural Painting Gallery."

"The pretext is that two pregnant women living together will make it easier to take care of them!"

"You're stepping into other people's business and completely disregarding me as your wife. You've made me lose face in front of the other concubines!"

"The prince actually agreed to her proposal, disregarding my dignity, as if Guaerjia is the prince's legitimate wife!"

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that the Guarjia clan wanted to overstep their bounds, but ended up being schemed against without even realizing it."

"Heh~ Now that she has both a son and a daughter, and the prince is favored by her, it seems like the title of the prince's palace has already fallen into her hands."

"I want to see how she, his 'birth mother', will cope when Hongli inherits the title of Prince and considers him his biological mother!"

"How will her own son Hong Sheng cope with this?"

She grabbed Madam Hu's wrist excitedly.

"Madam, I am already impatient and want to see what happens to the Guarjia family."

Seeing the madness on Fu Jin's face, Matron Hu advised her in time.

"Master, now that we know the truth of the matter, shouldn't we also make preparations in advance?"

Fu Jin subconsciously asked, "What does Mammy mean?"
