"Almost all of my monthly salary is lost. If I hadn't been serving the Second Prince, I'd have trouble finding food and drink."

"But these days, he's suddenly been spending lavishly. Not only has he been gambling everywhere, he even lost nearly a hundred taels of silver in one night, without batting an eyelid."

Qingying paused while drawing her eyebrows. "Who's behind this?"

A look of disbelief flashed across Xiuxia's face.

He then said, "Your Majesty, the source of this silver is... Shuangxi from Xianfu Palace."

"what?"

Qingying looked at Xiuxia in surprise through the bronze mirror.

"Xianfu Palace? Concubine Hui? Why?"

After asking this, Qingying shook her head.

Being able to find out these things is already the limit of Xiu Xia's identity.

Even if there was solid evidence, it was impossible for him to take the chief eunuch around the concubine without informing me.

"Did you capture Xiao Shunzi?"

"Your Majesty, he has been taken down. The servants around the Second Prince have also been replaced with useful ones. With Concubine Chun's passing, I don't think the Second Prince would care about the affairs of a little eunuch."

"These few days are always safe."

Having said this, Xiuxia paused.

Then she lowered her voice again and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Shunzi said something that I am not sure about and don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Qingying frowned slightly. "We have been master and servant for many years. You are the one I trust most in the entire Jingren Palace. Is there anything I cannot tell you?"

Xiuxia calmed herself down.

"Xiao Shunzi said that Shuangxi asked him to often mention to the Second Prince that Concubine Chun's miscarriage was because of you, Your Majesty."

"It was also said that Concubine Chun's body was in poor condition, and that Her Majesty was dissatisfied with her being a Concubine and worried that she would affect Her Majesty's status, so she took the ruthless action and killed Concubine Chun."

Qingying was really confused when Xiuxia said this.

"Are you sure Shuangxi asked Xiao Shunzi to say this?"

"My Lady, what Xiao Shunzi said after being tortured seems to be correct."

Qingying pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment.

Yes, no wonder Xiuxia didn’t dare to speak frankly.

After all, Concubine Hui has been well-behaved for so many years and has always been respectful to me.

Who could have thought that she would suddenly become so cruel.

Not only did he attack Concubine Chun, but he also wanted the Second Prince to hate him?

But why did she do this?

The hand that was drawing the eyebrows started moving again, and Qingying did not speak for a while.

After putting it down, "Send a message to the six palaces, and skip the greetings today. First, take care of Concubine Chun's affairs, and then we can talk about other things."

"Yes."

Concubine Chun has a son and a daughter, and is also a concubine.

His sudden death naturally attracted the attention of the six palaces.

After Li Yu reported the news, he knelt in front of Hongli for half an incense stick of time, but the other party did not say a word.

Although Zhang Xun had made it clear two days ago that Concubine Chun did not have much time left.

But after all, he couldn't accept the fact that Concubine Chun had served him for many years and had passed away.

It was at this moment that Qingying stepped into the Yangxin Palace.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

Hongli was finally brought back to his senses by Qingying's voice.

He coughed lightly, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Standing up and sitting opposite Hongli, Qingying said, "Your Majesty, I think Li Yu has already reported the death of Concubine Chun."

Hongli nodded with some difficulty, "Yes, I already know."

"This is exactly why I came here."

Qingying held the handkerchief in her hand, looking sad.

"Your Majesty, Lujun has served Your Majesty since she arrived at the palace. It has been over ten years now. She also gave birth to two children, Yongzhang and Jingyan, for Your Majesty. She is truly a person of merit."

"I, your humble servant, would like to ask for the Emperor's grace on Lujun's behalf and give her the proper honor."

Qingying's words made Hongli's eyes even more sad.

Nodding heavily, Hongli said, "You've thought it through. In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you please posthumously confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Consort Chun?"

Hongli let out a long sigh.

Reaching out and holding Qingying's hand, he said, "Qingying, I am blessed to have a virtuous queen like you."
