Chen Yuwei personally spoke up, and both the Emperor and Empress agreed with her approach.

No matter how surprised the servants of the Imperial Household Department were, it wouldn't affect the subsequent arrangements.

Those that were done were sent outside the palace, while those that weren't were converted into silver and sent out together.

Anyway, the money will be spent wherever it is. They've already embezzled all the benefits they could, so even if they don't hold the first birthday banquet, it won't cause them any serious harm.

The cancellation of the first birthday banquet became a topic of conversation among the concubines in the harem before and after the meal.

Besides, Consort Yi was the most resentful, as she wanted to take this opportunity to give a big gift to the concubines in the harem who had children.

Since I can't survive on my own, I'll take a few people down with me before I die.

Huang Wanyu, who had been driven to madness, was emotionally extreme and spoke harshly, completely unlike a normal person.

She had only gone to the border region with the main group, and no one knows what triggered Huang Wanyu. She was originally a naive and innocent girl who was almost killed by others, but she suddenly turned into a madwoman who wanted to kill people.

Huang Wanyu has been unusually excited ever since she returned to the capital from beyond the Great Wall.

This excitement doesn't seem to be supported by internal energy and spirit, but rather like being under the influence of some kind of drug, relying on external force.

However, no one paid attention to Huang Wanyu, or rather, no one had paid attention to her before. But Huang Wanyu went mad in a good way, not only deceiving her family and the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, but also successfully fooling those who were monitoring her.

With no threats around her, Huang Wanyu could do whatever she wanted.

Huang Wanyu knew that her body was failing her. In the past, she would have cried or wallowed in self-pity and hid in her room waiting to die.

That's just the kind of person she is—selfish, cowardly, and lacking confidence.

But things are different now; Huang Wanyu can feel the life force draining from her body.

But it was precisely at such crucial moments that she became increasingly excited.

Because with her demise, the rest of the harem, especially the children, will not fare any better.

Ha, when Consort Chun drugged her, did she never think about the retribution she would face today?

With a fierce look in her eyes, Huang Wanyu summoned Lan Qing and whispered to him to keep an eye on Xianfu Palace, where Consort Chun was located.

Lan Qing was filled with trepidation, and dared not relax her tense mind.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Consort Chun has not suspected anything. Prince Yongzhang is still being treated by the imperial physicians as if he had a common cold."

Little did they know that it wasn't a cold at all, but a more serious form of hysteria.
