The life of a man on the road of film and television

Yongzheng took the handkerchief with red eyes and opened it carefully. When he saw the pair of emerald jade plum blossom earrings inside, his pupils shrank slightly and his heart beat violently.

He recognized at a glance that these were the pieces he had made specifically for Chunyuan when he was still a prince and had done business in Jiangnan. They were also Chunyuan's favorite pair of jewelry.

Later, Chunyuan passed away. He was furious and killed many people. Chunyuan's things were all dealt with by Yixiu. When he took Chunyuan's things back later, the pair of earrings had disappeared.

At that time, he just thought that the pair of earrings were buried with Chunyuan by Chunyuan's wet nurse, so he didn't take it seriously.

But now, after listening to E Min's description, Yongzheng believed his words a little bit, but it was precisely because of this belief that he became even more angry.

He held the earrings tightly in his hands with trembling hands, and opened the paper underneath the earrings. At the first glance, Yongzheng recognized that it was Rouze's handwriting, and the more he looked at it, the angrier he became.

After finishing reading the letter, Yongzheng fiercely dropped the beads in his hand, and Guwalgia Emin prostrated herself on the ground again, her body shaking with fear.

Li Dequan, who had been chased out of the hall before, was frightened by such a loud commotion in the hall. He was worried about the emperor's safety and asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to serve you?"

But there was silence in the hall and no answer. When Li Dequan was feeling uneasy and was about to break into the hall, Yongzheng's voice came from inside the hall.

"Come in"

Li Dequan, feeling relieved, then entered the hall. Looking at the mess inside, he carefully found a clean place, knelt down and waited for instructions.

"Go and bring the people up with E Min, send someone to pick up the witnesses in his house, and then go to Jingren Palace and bring Jiang Fuhai and Jianqiu to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough investigation!"

"Yes, I understand."

Guaerjia Emin and Li Dequan carefully left the main hall. Li Dequan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sent Emin away. Then he gave his apprentice Xiao Quanzi a look and asked him to go into the hall and clean it up while he did the work himself.

After receiving instructions from his master, Xiao Quanzi quickly found a few smart people to go in and clean up.

But the palace servants had also heard the noise inside, and when they went in to clean up, they wished they had another pair of hands. They were even more careful not to make any loud noise, for fear that the emperor would not pay attention and drag them out in a rage and behead them.

It was not until everyone had left and Yongzheng was the only one left in the hall that he opened his clenched hands. In his palms were the pair of earrings that he had held tightly for so long that they had bruised his palms.

That day, as waves of people from the Ministry of Punishment came in and out, the matter of Queen Chunyuan was quickly clarified.

But when the emperor received the testimony that night, he did not call the empress to the Yangxin Palace as in the original plot. Yongzheng just stayed alone with the testimony for a long time until he fell asleep at night, and he did not look angry at all.

However, Yongzheng's appearance frightened Yinqi, who had been observing him, for fear that something might have happened to him. Yinqi just watched him without blinking all night, until the next day when Yongzheng went to court, and then Yinqi went to rest and let the puppet watch over him.

After the morning court session that day, Yongzheng left behind a few ministers to advise him, and calmly informed everyone of the testimony that Li Dequan had found out and everything the queen had done over the years.

When the ministers learned what the Queen had done, they looked at each other in bewilderment. In recent years, they had indeed petitioned the Emperor many times to release the Queen, but they were well aware that the Queen had done so many evil things.

They knew that the emperor was trying to warn them today, so after the emperor expressed his intention to depose the queen, none of them dared to say no.

Without the complaints of these ministers, the imperial edict to depose the queen was conveyed before noon of the same day. Although the emperor did not explain the reason for deposing the queen in the imperial edict, all the smart people in the harem knew why.

This matter spread throughout the harem, except for the commoner Yixiu in Jingren Palace who kept asking to see the emperor, no one in the entire harem spoke up for the queen. Concubine Hua and Li Bin were so happy that they almost set off a few firecrackers to celebrate.

The dethronement of Yixiu was just the beginning. After Yixiu was moved to the cold palace, Yongzheng, in order to avenge the innocent Chunyuan, put incompatible things in the food delivered to her every day, and ordered the eunuchs to force her to drink it every day and watch her until she could not vomit anymore.

Yixiu was tortured like this for more than half a year until she died of illness.

However, the Queen's behavior frightened Zhen Huan, who was also imprisoned in the cold palace. After more than two years of living in the cold palace, she was no longer the graceful lady she used to be. At the age of 20, she looked like a 40-year-old woman.

Her state of mind had already changed a lot in the past two years in the cold palace. Now she was frightened day after day. Feeling that she saw no hope, Zhen Huan collapsed. She couldn't even hold on against Yixiu who was tortured every day. One night, she fell into the well in a trance and lost her life.

The news of Yixiu and Zhen Huan's death did not cause any waves in the harem. The harem was quiet for a long time because of the dethronement of the empress. For a period of time afterwards, Yongzheng never entered the harem again. It was not until more than two months had passed that things returned to normal after Concubine Hua brought Yongzheng a portion of donkey-hide gelatin and longan soup every day.

The queen was deposed and the harem was leaderless, but fortunately, Noble Concubine Yu and Concubine Jing had always been in charge of affairs, so the harem was not in chaos just because the queen was gone.

But the harem could not remain without a master forever, and half a year had passed since the empress was deposed. The idle censors in the court began to submit memorials again, hoping that the emperor would appoint a new empress.

But at this time, Yongzheng had no intention of appointing a new queen. Firstly, there was no suitable candidate in the harem. Secondly, he was already at the age of knowing the destiny. If he married a new queen now, the age of the queen would be a big problem for him.

He didn't want to spend all his time on this anymore. If he had the energy, he would like to put it into the previous dynasty.

It was just that the previous dynasty kept making suggestions every day, which gave Yongzheng a headache. So in order to have some peace and quiet in the future, Yongzheng wanted to take the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to confer titles on the six palaces.

Unexpectedly, at this time, news came out that Concubine Xi was pregnant. Although Yongzheng was delighted, his position also gave him a headache.

There is now one Noble Consort in the harem, and the four concubines are full. Noble Consort Yu is the Imperial Noble Consort, and Yongzheng is satisfied with it. The only worry he has is the selection of the Noble Consort.

Before, he thought that Concubine Jing had assisted in the management of the six palaces for many years, and with the prince by her side, she would definitely be the noble concubine. As for the remaining noble concubine, he preferred Concubine Hua. After all, Yongzheng felt guilty towards her. Although Shilan was spoiled, she had been with him for many years, so it was natural for her to be the noble concubine.

(I checked and found that there was no fixed number of imperial concubines and noble concubines during the Yongzheng period. I also thought about making Hua Jingxi and the other two noble concubines, but after all, this is the world of Zhen Huan, so in the end it was decided according to the plot of Zhen Huan)

But now Concubine Xi is pregnant, and she is the daughter of Nianhulu. If the Royal Concubine and the Noble Concubine are all concubines of the Han Army Banner, the Manchu officials of the previous dynasty will inevitably complain.

But if the position of Imperial Concubine was given to Concubine Xi, how would Concubine Hua cope with herself in the harem?
