"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern."

"The court cannot be neglected, but the emperor's health is more important. Take good care of him. I will personally stew some medicinal food for you to nourish your body."

Hongli was filled with emotion.

"My dear Queen Mother, my son is fine. There's no need for you to worry so much."

"These are just minor details. Alright, you should take a good rest. I will return to Shoukang Palace first."

"Madam, your son is here to see you off."

Qingying stood up, and Hongli responded repeatedly.

The aunt and niece left the Yangxin Palace.

The empress dowager waved her hand to move the sedan chair away, letting Qingying support her as she slowly walked along the palace road towards Shoukang Palace.

Seeing that there was no one around, the Queen Mother finally spoke.

"With such an ugly situation, aren't you afraid that people will say that you, the queen, are not doing your job?"

Qingying smiled.

"Aunt, I will have someone convey today's incident to the Fucha family in detail. For the sake of their own family's reputation, how could this matter be leaked out?"

"Since you have a solution, I won't say more."

The Queen Mother responded and turned to look at Qingying. "It's just that I have seen what has happened in the past six months..."

"What exactly do you want to do? Are you planning to clear out this harem?"

Even in the harem of the late emperor, the empress dowager did not dare to act so unscrupulously.

Naturally, he was very puzzled by Qingying's behavior.

"Aunt, they are all restless and determined to give birth to a prince to add glory to themselves. How can Qingying just watch this happen?"

"Besides, the Emperor is not the previous Emperor. Even if things have gotten to this point, he wouldn't be able to see anything. Naturally, I don't need to be so cautious when doing things."

Qingying's words left the Queen Mother silent.

Yes.

How can Hongli be compared to the previous emperor?

Forget it, I’m old now and there’s no need to worry about them.

"That's fine."

After sending the empress dowager back to Shoukang Palace, Qingying went to Yangxin Palace again. By the time she returned to Jingren Palace, the sun was setting.

Helping Qingying sit down, Xiuxia walked behind her and massaged her shoulders.

Then she said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard today. I have sent someone to inform the Imperial Concubine Shu. Please help her take care of the funeral ceremonies for the two nobles."

"Well, since the emperor doesn't care about anyone, Hai Lan doesn't need to worry about it. Just leave it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes, don't worry, your Majesty. I understand."

He raised his hand and pinched his brows. "It's not time for dinner yet. Let Sanbao go to Xianfu Palace. It's time to have a conclusion on Concubine Hui's matter."

Xiuxia paused.

The Queen intends to take advantage of the death of the two nobles to gain another victory in one fell swoop.

"Yes, I will give you the instructions right now."

...

Since obtaining Hongli's permission, Huifei has been asked to raise the second prince.

Xianfu Palace suddenly became lively.

In the past, there was only one princess in the palace. Even though Concubine Hui loved her very much, she could not compare to other people who had children and would have a future to rely on.

For a princess who is a concubine, there is almost only one option left, which is to marry a foreign prince. Everyone knows the result.

But it’s different for my brother.

If a concubine has a son, even if she will not be able to get that position in the future, she can be taken out of the palace to be raised in honor.

It's better than living a miserable life in the Forbidden City.

So since Concubine Hui had the opportunity to take care of the second prince, she personally cooked every day and prepared meals for Yongzhang.

She was almost more caring than the Empress Dowager in taking care of Yongji.

She also prepared two meals a day, and personally carried the food boxes to her brother's place.

Because of her dedication, Yong Zhang had a much better impression of her.

The small kitchen had just been cleaned up. Concubine Hui led Mo Xin, who was carrying a food box, to the gate of Xianfu Palace when they saw San Bao coming in hurriedly.

"This servant pays his respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good fortune."

Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet taken place, the names of the people below have already changed.

But Concubine Hui's expression suddenly changed.

She tightened her grip on the handkerchief and said, "Is it Sanbao? Why are you here now? What instructions does the Empress have?"

"Your Highness, the Empress has ordered that you go to Jingren Palace immediately."
