Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Yinzhen was very happy to hear that the person had been found.

Yixiu left to save him.

It was because of his disappointing younger brother that he was implicated.

When something went wrong, he didn't know how to explain it to others.

The next second, Yinzhen's smile disappeared.

"Prince Yong, the emperor invites you to the palace for a chat."

The person who came to invite Yinzhen was Sandezi. After all, this matter involved a royal scandal, and it would definitely be inappropriate to invite other people.

Yinzhen felt that the timing was a bit delicate, after all, Emperor Kangxi had just summoned the ninth prince into the palace.

It must be that Lao Jiu said something unfavorable to him.

The only thing that could make him vulnerable to attack from the Ninth Brother and his mother today was the matter between Yixiu and his Fourteenth Brother.

Yinzhen said to the messenger, "Go out of the city again and see where the Fourth Lady is, and bring her back as soon as possible."

He then instructed Jianqiu and the others, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Wen to your residence."

After making all the arrangements, Yinzhen hurried into the palace.

On the way, he asked Eunuch San Dezi: "Eunuch San Dezi, do you know why the emperor asked me to enter the palace?"

San Dezi said: "I don't know what the Ninth Master said to the Emperor, I only know that the Emperor was furious and his face was not very good."

Yinzhen pondered for a while.

It seems that his guess was good.

Fortunately, he had just made such arrangements.

Emperor Kangxi's first suspicion was easily suppressed by him.

It won't be so easy to suppress his suspicion this time.

I'm afraid Emperor Kangxi must meet Yixiu today.

Yinzhen instructed Su Peisheng again, "I haven't been to the palace for a few days to pay my respects to my mother. I'm going to the emperor's place now. You can go and tell my mother that when I'm done with my work, we can sit down and have a good talk."

Su Peisheng immediately understood what Yinzhen meant, and Sandezi did not stop him.

Now, the emperor's several sons are either useless or young, and it is clear that Prince Yong is the most likely to inherit the throne. It is not a big deal for him to give face to Yinzhen.

-----------------

After arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen did not see the figure of Lao Jiu, presumably Emperor Kangxi had sent him away.

"My son pays his respects to the Emperor."

Emperor Kangxi asked, "Is Yixiu feeling better?"

"To answer the Emperor's question, Yixiu's health is not well yet and she cannot go out yet."

Yinzhen said respectfully: "But after taking care of it for a while, it has gotten much better."

"Be bold!"

Emperor Kangxi slammed the table hard, making a loud noise.

"I already know everything. I heard that Yixiu is not at home."

Yinzhen was shocked.

Where did Emperor Kangxi hear this?

The only people who knew about this were Yixiu's maid, Defei, and Wenxumo.

He could never have imagined that Concubine Yi came to such a conclusion based on clues and bold guesses.

What was even more unexpected was that Yinzhen dared to speak out Concubine Yi's guess like that.

Yinzhen just thought that the assassins who assassinated the Fourteenth Prince also knew that Yixiu was by his side.

However, he felt a little relieved when he thought of the news he had just received that Yixiu was about to arrive in the capital.

He knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your concern for Yixiu, but I am only telling the truth."

Emperor Kangxi was thinking about what Lao Jiu had just said to him.

What he said clearly meant that Yixiu was not in the capital.

"There have been too many rumors about this matter, which have greatly affected your reputation and Yixiu's reputation. The easiest way is to ask Yixiu to come out and dispel those rumors."

Emperor Kangxi looked solemn and said, "I don't want to waste any more time on this matter."

At this moment, Sandezi came in and announced that Concubine De had arrived.

Emperor Kangxi raised his brows slightly.

He looked at Yinzhen with an inquiring look.

The timing of Concubine De's arrival was such a coincidence. Could it be that Concubine De also knew about this?

After Concubine De came in and said a few words, she asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, is it an unfortunate opportunity for me to come here?"

Emperor Kangxi said, "You came at the right time. The fourth son and I were talking about Yixiu."

Concubine De smiled and said, "Why is the emperor paying attention to Yixiu? It seems that she has been ill for too long and has alarmed the emperor."

Concubine De sighed slightly, "It's because she is too weak. I heard about the accident of the fourth child before, and now the weather is cold. The disease has recurred several times and never gets better."

Emperor Kangxi stared at Concubine De closely.

If what Lao Jiu said was true, then the mother and son had colluded to deceive him.

Emperor Kangxi should not have paid attention to his daughter-in-law, but this matter was no longer a trivial matter.

It would be inappropriate to talk about anything that is not suitable for you at this time.

Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "That child is very filial. Now that she has been ill for so long, I should go and see her."

"Go to Prince Yong's Mansion."

Concubine De didn't expect that Emperor Kangxi would be so insistent on going.

If she and Yinzhen continued to stop them, Emperor Kangxi would probably become even more suspicious.

But if we don't stop him, would we really let him go to Prince Yong's Mansion?

Defei thought of what Su Peisheng had told her, that Yixiu was already on her way back.

If we were faster, we would have arrived today.

"It's good that the emperor cares about Yixiu's child, but what if Yixiu passes her illness on to you?"

As soon as Defei said this, Yinzhen understood what she meant.

drag!

Neither mother nor son looked at each other, but they were in sync with each other.

However, Emperor Kangxi was not so easily fooled. He already had his suspicions in his mind, so naturally he wanted to confirm it as soon as possible.

The words of Concubine De and the Fourth Prince had no effect on him at all.

"This is the body of a true dragon, so it is naturally not afraid of this minor illness. Besides, didn't you say that Yixiu was always weak and worried too much?"

To be honest, if it was the wife of any other prince, Emperor Kangxi would have dealt with her long ago.

But Yixiu is different.

If he has no other outstanding sons, the fourth son may inherit the throne in the future, and Honghui may become the next crown prince.

Yixiu's life is worthless, but Honghui's reputation is valuable.

Although Emperor Kangxi had never taken care of Honghui personally, he now felt somewhat friendly towards Honghui, and thought he was better than the other princes in Prince Yong's mansion.

Naturally he has to take that into consideration.

Emperor Kangxi's suspicions grew stronger and stronger.

The credibility of Yinzhen's words became higher and higher.

How could Yixiu and Lao Shisi do such shameless things?

I’m afraid that the Fourteenth Brother went to Tongcheng not for the Fourth Brother, but to avoid being disturbed with Yixiu.

When the fourth brother found out about this, he took action against the fourteenth brother.

Emperor Kangxi insisted on going to see it, so Concubine De and Yinzhen had no choice but to go there slowly.

Now Yinzhen only hopes that Su Peisheng can smell something unusual in advance and find a way to get help.

-----------------

Prince Yong's Palace.

"I guess Yixiu is not in the mansion, so the rumor is not groundless."

Rouze said to Xinghui, "Anyway, I haven't seen Yixiu for a month. I went to visit her, but Jianqiu stopped me."

"There's definitely something wrong here."

Xinghui was anxious, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing!?"

"You always prevent me from going against Yixiu, how can I dare to tell you?"

Rouze showed a gloating look on her face, "Just now, Eunuch San Dezi came to ask the Fourth Master to enter the palace. I guess it must be because of Yixiu's matter."

Xinghui's expression changed drastically, "Why didn't you say it just now?!"

"Do you think you can take advantage of the emperor when he finds out that Yixiu is not in the palace? Are you still dreaming of becoming his wife?"

Yinzhen must have concealed this matter.

If the emperor found out that Yinzhen had deceived him, he would probably dislike Yinzhen.

"If the emperor finds out that Yixiu is not here, it will definitely implicate Yinzhen, and it will also implicate you."

Fortunately, she had a headache. How could she tell Rouze that her mind was full of thoughts of opposing Yixiu?

"Now, the entire Prince Yong's Mansion is a whole, and the emperor is not on Yixiu's side."

"Whether the Fourth Master can ascend the throne is related to each of us."

Xinghui asked her again: "If you behave yourself, you can become a concubine or a noble concubine in the future. If you don't behave yourself and cause the Fourth Master to be demoted to a commoner, then you can only be a concubine of a commoner!"

If it is soft, it will tremble.

Xinghui just received the news that the ninth prince entered the palace first, and then Yinzhen was called into the palace.

He also participated in the investigation of Laojiu's matter, so he naturally knew that it was not a good thing. Laojiu's counterattack before his death must have been very fierce.

Maybe, in a while, the emperor will come to see if Yixiu is there.

"I'll try to stop the emperor."

Xinghui thought for a moment and said, "Go to Yixiu's yard. If I can't stop her, find a way to stop her again."

Even though Rouze was extremely unwilling, she had to do it.

Xinghui hurried to the palace gate, and sure enough, the emperor came out not long after.

Xinghui pretended to be about to enter the palace to report, but was stopped by Emperor Kangxi.

"Xinghui, you look so hurried, what's the matter?"

Xinghui said, "There's another letter from Junggar in the northwest saying there's some unrest."

This news is not false.

Now it is late autumn and these nomadic peoples have nothing to eat, and they invade the Qing border every autumn and winter.

Xinghui was supposed to report to Emperor Kangxi today, and he just happened to arrive now.

After asking some questions, Emperor Kangxi already had an idea in his mind.

In recent years, these rebellions were all quelled by the Fourteenth Brother. Now that the Fourteenth Brother cannot go, we can only send Xinghui.

When Emperor Kangxi thought of the fourteenth prince who was good at fighting, his heart softened.

It’s all Yixiu’s fault.

Or would you just forgive Old Fourteen?

Will it spoil him?

Emperor Kangxi was in a state of confusion, and after sending Xinghui away, they continued on their way to Prince Yong's mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, Honghui and Hongshi came out.

"Grandfather!"

The two little ones ran very fast.

Emperor Kangxi smiled sincerely when he saw the two of them.

Honghui talked about his homework.

"Grandfather, may I recite it to you?"

Emperor Kangxi would not forget the purpose of his visit today because of a small incident.

"I heard that your mother is ill. I came to see her today and then to listen to your recitation."

When they arrived at the gate of Yongkang Pavilion, Rouze also came out to pay her respects.

"I have met the Emperor, Father."

Emperor Kangxi frowned. Why did he have the illusion that he had passed the customs?

Whether it was Xinghui, Honghui or Rouze, each of them seemed to be trying to stop him.

There must be something fishy going on here.

Emperor Kangxi nodded slightly and didn't even ask Rouze what her purpose was.

Jianqiu went in to pass on the message, then came out and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has just woken up. I will help her clean up before I come to see the emperor."

Emperor Kangxi didn't expect that Jianqiu could actually find someone for him.

But it's already now, so he's not worried that something unexpected might happen if he waits for a while.

Jianqiu entered the room and found Yixiu looking dusty and even dressed in men's clothes.

She just entered the Yongkang Pavilion one step earlier than Emperor Kangxi.

Jianqiu helped her change her clothes quickly and do her hair. She originally wanted to ask Yixiu if she wanted to put on some more makeup.

Yixiu looked at her haggard face in the bronze mirror and shook her head.

"That's just right."

She hadn't been eating or sleeping well recently, and she had been on the road all the time. Not only had she lost weight, but her complexion also didn't look very good.

He looks like someone who has just recovered from a long illness.

Yixiu went out to pay her respects to Emperor Kangxi.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor."

When Yixiu raised her eyes, Emperor Kangxi was surprised. He didn't expect that Yixiu was really in the mansion.

Yixiu looked a little haggard, but it didn't look like she was pretending.

Since Yinzhen did not lie, the one who lied must be the ninth brother.

Emperor Kangxi expressed his condolences and gave him many rewards before returning to the palace.

---------------

On the same day, the imperial edict to punish Lao Jiu came down.

The ninth brother was stripped of his position as Beile, demoted to Beizi, and confined to the mansion.

Lao Jiu has really fallen flat on his face this time.

Even so, the court officials still felt it was not enough.

Although there is no intuitive evidence pointing to the fact that the dam collapse was caused by Laojiu, everyone is aware that it was something Laojiu did for his own selfish reasons.

In addition, he colluded with salt merchants to seek personal gain.

Such punishment alone is too ineffective to quell public grievances.

Everyone then petitioned to severely punish Lao Jiu.

Emperor Kangxi, however, refused to accept any of the proposals. Others did not know, but he knew clearly in his heart that Lao Jiu had reached a cooperation with Master Ma San just to please him.

So he couldn't punish too harshly in this matter.

As for the rumors, Yinzhen has now wiped out all the sources of the rumors, and he has also placed the ninth brother under house arrest.

That was all he could do.

Of course, a big part of the reason is because of Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi was worried about her son, and relying on the favor of Emperor Kangxi, she begged several times, and Emperor Kangxi also softened his heart towards the beauty.

Besides, Laojiu, this child, has been quite well behaved before except that he has been a little crazy recently.

He is neither as busy as the eldest brother, nor as cunning as the eighth brother.

Besides, this incident had no impact on Yinzhen.

It’s good that he and Concubine Yi’s child admits his mistake.

Emperor Kangxi had already been forced to punish his child with another beloved woman, so when he faced the Ninth Brother, he felt particularly reluctant.

It seemed that her feelings for Yinreng had also been transferred to the ninth brother.

Besides, children are bound to make mistakes.

It would be good if Yinzhen knew his mistakes and corrected them.
