Yixiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Naturally, there was nothing between her and Yunli, so Rui Guiren's revelation seemed unreasonable to her.

Yunli is a very good person and they have been through a lot together, but Yixiu feels that he is like her own younger brother, a younger brother closer to her than Xingchen.

Although there were many men in the Ulanala clan, she did not feel a sense of belonging in that family.

Today, Concubine Rui exposed them, and judging from Yinzhen's expression, he seemed to be somewhat suspicious of them.

Yixiu showed a helpless expression.

This thing that came out of nowhere, after being passed around, actually seemed like something serious.

She must be careful to keep a distance from Yunli in the future, so as not to arouse Yinzhen's suspicion and get into trouble again in the future.

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

Yinzhen thought of Concubine Rui's words, and when he went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, he couldn't help but test her with words.

After all, he thought about it carefully, and Yunli and Yixiu did have the opportunity to be alone. They went to Tongcheng together to find evidence for him.

He deliberately chose to go when Yunli entered the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"Fourteenth brother, we have been so busy before the New Year that we two brothers rarely have the chance to sit down and have a drink."

Yunyi smiled.

Although Yinzhen gave him the title of prince, he could feel Yinzhen's suspicion towards him.

Yunzhi thought of his thirteenth brother.

He and Yinzhen are brothers, but Yinzhen always trusts his thirteenth brother a little more.

In his vague memories of childhood, his fourth brother always seemed to have a cold face towards him.

Others said that it was because the Queen Mother was close to him and ignored the fourth brother.

"I heard that when you came to Shoukang Palace a while ago, the Empress Dowager advised you to get married, but you were still unwilling."

Yunzhi didn't expect Yinzhen to bring up the matter again. "Brother, my thoughts have not changed. As long as the Dzungars are not justified, I will not marry."

Yinzhen looked at Yunzhi and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You have been in the capital for a while. It's time to go back."

After saying this, Yinzhen laughed again.

"You should stay in the frontier for a few more years. Once you pacify the Dzungar Khanate as soon as possible, we can discuss your lifelong affairs."

Yunzhi always felt that Yinzhen was trying to make up for his suspicion and find a plausible reason.

But he asked himself, he hid his feelings very well, how did Yinzhen see through it?

Yunli also had doubts in his heart. Could it be that he had revealed the truth at some point?

It's impossible. He knew very well that once this matter was discovered, Yixiu would be the first person to be implicated. How could he possibly reveal his true feelings to her?

"My royal brother has thought of everything for me, but Tsewang Arabtan is quite talented. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pacify him in the short term."

Yinzhen patted his shoulder and said, "Old Fourteen, don't underestimate yourself."

"I believe you."

Yunzhen smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, my brother. In order to live up to your trust, I must deal with Tsewang Arabtan properly."

The Queen Mother seemed unaware of the hidden ulterior motive between the brothers.

She told Yunzhen, "You must listen to your brother, but you must also take care of your own safety. Only if you are alive can you assist your brother in governing the country."

Yinzhen said with a hint of meaning: "The Empress Dowager's words make it sound as if her son wants the Fourteenth Prince to die."

Only then did the Queen Mother realize Yinzhen's displeasure.

In the past, she was very clear about the grudges she had towards her eldest son. Perhaps because things had gone so smoothly over the years, she had the illusion that their mother-son relationship had improved.

It was too late for her to care about Yinzhen because his character had already been determined.

She actually forgot.

"I know that the Emperor loves the Fourteenth Prince the most. If you say a few more words, you will even confront me, the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother changed the subject and walked away.

But she also had some doubts in her heart.

The imperial examination cheating case was over a long time ago, and it was normal for the Fourteenth Master to come back to report on his work this time. Why did he suddenly become so suspicious of the Fourteenth Master? Could it be that he really discovered something?

What did it do to the Emperor that the Fourteenth Prince did not marry that made him so concerned?

Although the Queen Mother had doubts in her heart, she did not ask directly.

The Queen Mother changed the subject.

"How is the construction of the palace going?"

Yinzhen gave a brief explanation, "We can move in around the Double Ninth Festival this year."

A hint of disappointment appeared on the Queen Mother's face, as if she felt that the speed was still too fast.

As the empress dowager, she also had to go to the palace with the emperor.

This is quite difficult for the Queen Mother.

Who would want to live with the emperor emeritus when they can live a happy retirement life with their son in the palace?

"There is no need to rush for success. This palace can be built slowly. It would be best to ask the emperor for his opinion on every step."

When Yinzhen heard the empress dowager ask him to ask the retired emperor, he felt uncomfortable again.

Now he is the emperor. Although this palace was built for the retired emperor, there is no need to ask about every step.

The mother and her two children separated, each with their own ulterior motives.

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

Yunli returned to the prince's mansion and went straight into the study.

He fiddled with the bookshelf for a long time and opened a secret compartment.

He took out a clay figure from it.

This clay figurine was broken before and after some repairs it still looks presentable.

It was exactly what he and Yixiu had made at a roadside stall when they were in Tongcheng.

The craftsmanship of the master who made the clay figures was very exquisite, and he restored 70% to 80% of their expressions.

This was the first thing he and Yixiu had as a pair.

Moreover, when he was being assassinated, this clay figure helped him block the attack.

Yunli cherishes it very much.

At this time, Yinzhen had begun to doubt them. He held the clay figure tightly, trying to destroy it.

He hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't bear to do it.

Well, he hid it a little deeper.

Anyway, the clay figure in his hand is himself, not Yixiu.

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

Yunzhen left the capital in a hurry.

When Yixiu learned that Yinzhen had gone to Shoukang Palace to see him the day before, she could roughly guess what Yinzhen had said to him.

After all, I became suspicious.

She felt a slight headache.

My headache is coming back.

Yinzhen didn't come to Jingren Palace for half a month.

Yixiu sometimes felt that she should take the initiative to save the relationship, after all, they were still a couple in name only.

Sometimes I enjoy the quietness.

In the past half month, Yinzhen has been flipping through Tong Jia Wanqing's name card every day.

Yixiu felt that she might not be compatible with the word "Hua".

In her previous life, Nian Shilan opposed her in everything, and in this life, Concubine Hua is against her again.

Yinzhen probably knew this too. During the time when he was suspicious of Yixiu, wasn't he just slapping Yixiu in the face by going to Concubine Hua?

On this terrible day, Yixiu's headache really recurred.

This time the attack was very severe.

Jianqiu looked anxious, "Empress, I'll go get Doctor Wen for you!"
