Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wu Ya completely collapsed to the ground.

The brothers Yinzhen and Yunli were also greatly shocked and didn't know how to deal with it.

After a long time, Yinzhen said dejectedly.

"Second brother, no matter what, she is the one who gave birth to me."

"I can't just watch her die."

Uya's eyes lit up and she looked at Yinzhen and Yunli eagerly.

Yunli turned his head and looked at his two brothers with red eyes.

"Royal brother, second brother. Whatever you decide is fine, but I just hope you can spare her life."

Yinreng looked at the two brothers.

"Have you two thought it through?"

Yunli looked at his fourth brother hesitantly.

Although my mother did so many evil things to my fourth brother, and even the women and children in his backyard were related to her, her motherly love for him could not be faked.

He could be so cruel as to let his two cousins ​​from the Uya family in his backyard die of illness.

But he really couldn't bear to watch his biological mother die.

However, he also knew that he could not make the decision alone, and his second brother would not listen to him.

So he looked at his fourth brother, but he didn't know what his fourth brother would decide in the end.

"Fourth brother, I know this matter has made you feel embarrassed."

"But I can promise that after this incident, I will never let her embarrass Fourth Brother again. I can take her back home and not let her appear in the harem again. I will keep her under control."

"Just save her life!"

Yinzhen closed his eyes, swallowed the resentment and anger in his heart, and finally turned it into a sigh.

Whether from the perspective of reason or interests, Yinzhen knew very well that he could not take her life.

Otherwise, it will be a stain on your body that cannot be washed away in the future.

So he looked at his second brother with melancholy and hesitation, with a bitter smile on his lips.

"Second brother, can you spare her life?"

Yinreng sighed softly, "I knew it would be like this."

"Khan Ama also anticipated this."

"If you are willing to plead for Wu Ya, this imperial decree will be invalid."

Hearing that the imperial edict was invalid, Yinzhen felt a sense of loss and melancholy in his heart.

He always wanted to be the Empress Dowager's child, but he finally got the chance, but lost it completely because of his biological mother.

Moreover, this biological mother hates and dislikes him, and is a cruel person who has only ill will and desires to exploit him.

Yunli felt somewhat relieved.

As for Uya, she was completely relieved, and even felt that as long as she was still alive, there was still a chance, and she had a secret ambition in her heart.

But unexpectedly, Prince Jin said next: "Khan Ama also left a message."

Uya's heart skipped a beat, this oral instruction was definitely not a good thing.

Soon, Yinreng began to talk about the content of the oral order.

If the new emperor wanted to save Uya's life, then this imperial edict would be invalid. However, Uya could not continue to live, so it was announced to the public that Uya missed the late emperor too much, died of severe grief, and followed the late emperor.

Then he was secretly sent to Fourteenth's house, and was confined in Fourteenth's backyard, where he was required to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and he was never allowed to step out of the small Buddhist temple.

Pray for those Aisin Gioro descendants of Yinzhen and Yunzhi who died young or had miscarriages, and ask the Eternal Heaven and the gods and Buddhas to bless them with a good rebirth in the next life!

After hearing the oral order, Yinzhen and Yunli accepted it calmly. As sons, they had done their utmost to do this.

Only Uya was devastated. She fell to the ground in a daze, feeling hopeless.

She didn't expect that the late emperor would be so cruel to her and not willing to give her any chance at all.

After reading the oral order, Yinzhen ordered people to send the limp Uya back to Yonghe Palace.

After the three brothers discussed the outcome of Uya's case in the Yangxin Palace, Yinreng left the palace with ease.

On the 23rd day of the fifth month of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Empress Dowager Renshou died in Yonghe Palace at the age of 64.

It was moved from Yonghe Palace to Ningshou Palace for temporary rest.

At this time, Uya had been secretly sent to the Prince Xun's Mansion of the Fourteenth Master and became an old aunt of the Uya clan. She was placed in the Prince Xun's Mansion to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and the Prince Xun's Mansion took care of her in her old age and till her death.

There is no more Empress Dowager Renshou in the world.

The coffin placed in Ningshou Palace contained only Uya's former clothes.

On May 26 of the same year, he was moved to Shouhuang Palace in Jingshan for temporary rest.

In August, she was posthumously honored with the title of Empress Xiaogong Xuanhui Wensu Dingyu Zantian Chengshengren.

On the first day of September, Jingling was enshrined and placed in the Taimiao and Fengxian Hall.

While dealing with the affairs of the Uya family, in May, Concubine Nian in the palace gave birth to the ninth prince prematurely.

The ninth prince was extremely weak when he was born, cried as softly as a mosquito or a fly, and had large blue spots on his body.

I have to start taking medicine before I even start breastfeeding.

The imperial physician diagnosed that the ninth prince might not live to see his first birthday.

Sure enough, the ninth prince died less than three months after he was born.

In order to appease his concubine Nian, Yongzheng gave the ninth prince the name Fupei.

He also gave Concubine Nian the title "Su" to comfort her for the loss of her son.

..........

In early June, Yinreng took Wanyu and left the capital for Jiangnan.

However, before leaving Beijing, Yinreng met with Hongli in private and told him a secret.

At the end of May, Emperor Yongzheng personally wrote a secret decree to appoint Hongli as the successor, hid it in a locket, and placed it behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque in the Qianqing Palace.

At that time, Emperor Yongzheng summoned the former Crown Prince Yinreng, Prince Dun Yun'e, Prince Yi Yunxiang and Prince Xun Yunzhi.

The four witnessed in the Qianqing Palace the imperial edict of establishing the crown prince written and stamped with the imperial seal by the emperor himself, and also saw with their own eyes the place where Emperor Yongzheng placed the edict.

After Yinreng told Hongli about the succession, he only gave him one piece of advice.

"You must be the emperor's most filial son, not an overly intelligent and ambitious prince!"

Hongli nodded seriously.

Since Yinreng left Beijing again, he never returned to the capital.

It was not until December of the second year of Yongzheng's reign that an urgent message was sent from Jiangnan to the capital.

The former crown prince, former Prince Jin Yinreng, "died of illness" in Jiangnan.

Before his death, Yinreng mentioned his arrangements for his funeral in a letter to Emperor Yongzheng.

Because his body was far away in Jiangnan, and his wife was also buried in Jiangnan, he would order people to bury him next to his wife after his death, so he would not bring his body back to Beijing for funeral.

The emperor only needs to build a cenotaph for his clothes and bones.

He also mentioned several of his children in the letter, especially Fuling'a and Honggui.

Before the late emperor passed away, he arranged the marriage between Fuling'a and the Zhang family. The mourning period for the late emperor is about to end, and my fourth brother will need to take great care of Fuling'a's marriage.

As for Honggui and Hongli, they were born one after the other. Hongli's wife had already been decided, and Honggui also needed his fourth brother to choose a steady and dignified wife.

After receiving the suicide note written by his second brother before his death, Yinzhen was extremely sad, but he also felt a secret sense of relief that was unknown to others.

So he was extremely fond of and cared for his second brother's children.

In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, the mourning period ended.

Yongzheng first ordered the Imperial Household Department to prepare for the wedding of Princess Heshuo Zhaoning and Zhang Ruoxu with great fanfare.

Then, a few months later, at the beginning of the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, the legitimate daughter of Zhangjia Akdun was granted to Honggui as his legitimate wife.

The reason why Yongzheng granted Zhangjia as Honggui's legitimate wife was the result of much consideration.

(It’s the end, it’s almost the end~)
