Madam Qi cleared her throat and began to recount what happened in the palace last night: "During the Queen's funeral, those ignorant servants in the harem said something disrespectful to the Queen, and somehow the news got out."

Ye Zifen frowned slightly, and when she thought of the scene she witnessed in the palace at that time, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.

She frowned at that time, thinking secretly about the audacity of these people.

Seeing this, the nanny continued, "When the emperor heard about this, he was furious and immediately ordered a comprehensive search to find out who was behind this. He must give an explanation to the queen and the people of the world. The person in charge of this matter is the eunuch who is the most trusted by the emperor. He has always been efficient in his work."

Ye Zifen was very surprised and said, "Even the most favored eunuch is rushing out in such a hurry. It is obvious that the emperor is really angry."

Her heart was like the ripples on the lake, unable to calm down for a long time. Her mind involuntarily emerged with the things that Zhang Gaoyi had quietly told her about what he had discovered in the past few days.

She secretly thought that the emperor might be taking advantage of these rumors to conduct a thorough investigation in the harem to see if there were any sinister things left, such as poisons that could harm people silently!

This action may be able to catch some people hiding in the dark, and it will also serve as a stern warning to those with bad intentions.

Let them know that the emperor's majesty is inviolable and the rules of the palace cannot be trampled upon.

"That's right, young lady." Madam Qi continued, "This comprehensive search has uncovered a lot of things. Several concubines who were arrogant on weekdays have now been mercilessly thrown into the cold and lonely cold palace. I heard that they are crying and wailing all day long in the cold palace, but even so, what's the use? Everything is irreversible."

Ye Zifen sighed softly and thought to herself: Just as I expected!

"And the imperial concubine was also under house arrest by the emperor just because of Princess Shuya's marriage." Nanny Qi continued in a low voice.

"This..." Ye Zifen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Princess Shuya's marriage was originally a big event in the palace, but unexpectedly it would be delayed because of the Queen's incident. Moreover, it seems that it will be difficult to reach a conclusion in a short time.

Unless an extremely special method like marriage of a foreign prince is adopted, but judging from the emperor's character, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would easily send the princess to marry a foreign prince.

Aunt Qi said, "It seems that the imperial concubine said something that the queen died at an inopportune time, and it was spread out."

Ye Zifen said: "The queen has been ill for the past two years. The status of the imperial concubine is the highest in the palace. I think she feels that now that the queen is gone, her status is the most honorable, so she dares to say anything."

Madam Qi said indifferently, "What does he think of the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is now handling state affairs on behalf of the Emperor. It is obvious that the Emperor also likes him. If the Imperial Concubine still does this, is she not afraid that the Crown Prince will embarrass Princess Shuya in the future?"

Ye Zifen said: "The people in the harem are all shrewd people. Who knows what they are thinking."

Madam Qi nodded. "A group of eunuchs and maids died in the palace recently, but they didn't say what they had done wrong."

Madam Qi sighed, as if she had returned to the dark days many years ago. A trace of confusion and fear flashed in her eyes, as if she felt the heavy haze hanging over the palace walls.

Alas, the turmoil in this palace is like the never-ending waves of the sea, one wave after another rises, as if there will never be an end.

Those undercurrents seemed to conceal endless conspiracies and calculations that made it impossible to guard against them.

Ye Zifen sighed slightly, a trace of helplessness and worry flashed in her eyes. She shook her head gently, as if she was extremely tired of the complicated situation in the palace.

The master and servant sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

"Go find a servant and ask her to deliver these letters. They have been here for more than half a month, and the people in Lujia Village are still waiting!"

Nanny Qi nodded and went to look for someone, and soon a servant came over.

The servant stood aside respectfully, not daring to utter a word.

Ye Zifen put the letters in her hand into a bundle and said, "You hand these letters over to the shopkeeper Fu Kelai in person."

The servant quickly responded, "I understand. I will hand it over to Shopkeeper Xiang personally."

After saying that, he took the bag and left.

It was not until night fell quietly that Zhang Gaoyi's slightly tired figure slowly returned.

At this moment, Ye Zifen already knew the punishment the emperor had imposed on the third and sixth princes, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

The lights in the house cast a soft glow. Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi sat at the dining table, enjoying their dinner quietly.

As the aroma of the food filled the air, the two naturally started talking about it.

Ye Zifen frowned slightly and said softly, "Now the third, fourth and sixth princes can be regarded as brothers in distress who share the same suffering. After the fourth prince learned of this result, he must have finally found a sense of balance in his heart."

She picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, a hint of thought flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Gaoyi put down his chopsticks and responded solemnly, "Yes, the fourth prince is indeed much more balanced. But those princes who have fiefs are probably starting to back out. They must be worried and don't know what faults the emperor will find in them!"

His words revealed his concern about the situation.

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and continued, "This will teach them to be humble. In the past, there were always those traitors who acted as examples in front of them, so they felt that the things they did that violated the rules on a daily basis were not a big deal. But now this matter has just fallen into the hands of the emperor, let's see how they can quibble."

However, Zhang Gaoyi frowned slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

He said slowly: "Oh, sometimes, if we push too hard, we often fail to achieve the desired effect."

It's like a dog that, when cornered, will jump up the high wall in a hurry! Not to mention those ambitious and evil-minded princes.

They all want to fight for the supreme throne, and when they see no hope, they may fight to the death.

If the emperor really came to the point of forcing the emperor to abdicate, regardless of whether it would succeed or not, the emperor would definitely be sad. The emperor's health could not withstand such a blow.
