Later, Chunyuan entered the palace. This beautiful, intelligent and well-read woman made Yinzhen, who already liked this type of woman, gradually like Rouze even more.

Although Rouze had no feelings for Yinzhen, for the sake of her family and because Yinzhen was really good to her, Rouze was willing to treat Yinzhen with respect.

She also felt guilty towards her younger sister Yixiu and treated her with courtesy. No matter how her wet nurse told her to be on guard against Yixiu, Rouze did not change her kindness to Yixiu. In order to prevent people from seeing Yixiu clearly, Rouze even let Yixiu manage the household.

When Honghui was born, Rouze bestowed him with rewards like water. Knowing that she was in poor health, she loved Honghui as her own son. Yongzheng also valued Honghui very much.

However, their actions caused Yixiu to misunderstand, thinking that Yinzhen and Rouze wanted to take Honghui away.

So even though Yixiu didn't show it on her face, she began to pay more attention to Honghui in her heart. She took care of Honghui personally every day, so that little Honghui would never forget that she was his mother.

After Honghui could speak, she made him learn to read and write when he was only two years old. She even made him read for five or six hours every day, just to let everyone know that even though he was a bastard, her Honghui was the smartest.

But Yixiu forgot that because of her excessive worries during pregnancy, Honghui's body, which was already unhealthy in the womb, became overwhelmed because of her actions.

At first, Yixiu thought that all children were like this, because she had often been sick when she was a child and she had survived it now.

So even though the court physician told her that his medical skills were not good enough and asked her to ask the imperial physician, Yixiu just thought that Rouze was trying to make things difficult for Yinzhen, wanting him to think that Honghui was in poor health and to ruin his influence. Even though Honghui's body was already at the end of its strength at the age of eight, she refused to tell Yinzhen to ask the imperial physician.

And every time Yinzhen and Rouze asked about Honghui's health, she said that he just caught a cold and it was not a serious problem. She was afraid that this would become an excuse for Yinzhen and Rouze to take Honghui away.

When the two wanted to go and see, Yixiu pretended to be sad, so Yinzhen and Rouze, who felt guilty towards Yixiu, had to give up. After all, Yixiu loved Honghui so much and would definitely not hurt Honghui.

In this way, Honghui's illness lasted until the day when Rouze confirmed her pregnancy.

When Yixiu learned the news that day, she immediately became uneasy and did not notice that little Honghui had a high fever.

Later, the wet nurse could not bear it any longer and repeatedly asked Yixiu for permission. Only then did Yixiu react. Unfortunately, Honghui was already dying at that time. It was too late for Yixiu to ask Jianqiu to find Yinzhen to ask for the imperial physician.

So not long after Jianqiu left, Honghui died.

Yixiu, who knew exactly what had happened, could not accept that she was the one who had caused her son's death. She began to resent Rouze, thinking that everything was because of Rouze. If Rouze had not seduced Yinzhen, she would not have been worried during her pregnancy. If Rouze had not asked the court doctor to leave because of her pregnancy, her Honghui would not have died early because no one treated him.

In this way, she began to deceive herself. When she heard that Honghui was seriously ill, Yinzhen immediately brought the court doctor to see Honghui. Under the diagnosis of the court doctor, she learned that Honghui had been ill for a long time and died entirely because he was not treated.

After learning the truth, Yinzhen resented Yixiu, but considering that she was also suffering from the pain of losing her son, he simply refused to see Yixiu and did not punish her in any way.

However, Yinzhen's gentle treatment made Yixiu think that Yinzhen was guilty and that Rouze was pregnant and didn't care about Honghui because she already had a legitimate son. This made her hate Rouze even more.

Such a big thing could not be hidden from Rouze at all. After learning of Honghui's death, Rouze was heartbroken. Her fetus was unstable to begin with, and now she was too sad. For the sake of the fetus, she could only rest in bed, but she did not forget to send someone to visit Yixiu.

But Yixiu, who had already been possessed by a demon, now thought everything was wrong. So after Honghui was buried, her already problematic psychology became even more extreme. She herself had lost her child, so how could she tolerate Rouze giving birth to a child, and a legitimate son at that? So from then on, Yixiu wanted to get rid of Rouze and the child in her belly. She used the excuse of thanking Rouze to cry and tell Rouze that she wanted to stay by her side and serve her.

"Sister, Honghui is gone. Now I only have you and the baby in your belly."

Seeing her sister like this, Rouze, who felt full of guilt towards Yixiu, believed Yixiu's words and proposed to Yinzhen that she wanted Yixiu to take care of herself and the fetus in her belly. Yinzhen originally wanted to refuse, but in order not to make Rouze sad and affect the fetus, he had to agree.

But he didn't know that this gave Yixiu the opportunity to hurt Rouze. Even when another concubine had a miscarriage later, it was because that concubine said bad things about Honghui. In addition, Yixiu was guiding her from behind, and Rouze was pregnant herself. All the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion were managed by Yixiu, so she didn't know that the concubine was pregnant and was punished for it.

When Rouze saw the blood where the concubine had knelt, she was so frightened that she suffered from difficult labor and hemorrhage. In addition, the food incompatibility method used by Yixiu gave her led to the death of this great beauty.

Later, Yixiu was named the legitimate wife, one reason being that Yongzheng begged for it by kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace for three days, and the other was that Kangxi agreed to it because Fei Yanggu had lost his beloved daughter and because he had never wanted to make Yinzhen the successor.

Did Concubine Uya know about what happened in Prince Yong's Mansion? Of course she knew, but she didn't care.

Because Yixiu was cruel enough, even though she hurt her grandson, Yinzhen had few offspring and therefore had no chance of becoming emperor, so she helped Yixiu hide many things.

But she never expected that Yixiu would be so cruel that she almost made Yinzhen extinct. But it was too late for her to regret now. Otherwise, when Yixiu revealed that she had concealed Chunyuan, Yinzhen would definitely hate her.

Although their mother-son relationship was not good, Yinzhen was very filial and hoped for her favoritism in his heart. Only if Yinzhen maintained this mentality could he maintain their current precarious relationship.

“It’s all injustice.”

After recalling the past, Concubine Wu Ya came to her senses and muttered these words silently.

She did not regret hiding everything that Yixiu had done. She only hated why she did not strangle Yinzhen to death. If the fourteenth prince had ascended to the throne, she would have been the high and mighty mother and empress dowager. How glorious it would have been.

But what's the use of thinking more now? Kangxi and Yinzhen are indeed father and son, both are equally heartless. Now I can only hope that Qingke can live up to his expectations and win Yinzhen's favor in the future.

In this way, even if she could not become the empress dowager, she could wait until later to become the grand empress dowager. As long as Qingke gave birth to a prince from their Ulanala and Uya clans, everything would still be in time.
