Lan Qing was so frightened by Consort Yi's words that she was completely stunned. It was the first time she had ever heard herself curse herself.

Moreover, these days, they have been trying to drag Yikun Palace into this mess, but the process has not gone smoothly, causing Consort Yi's health to deteriorate further and her mood to darken even more.

This time, Consort Yi was determined to get Lan Qing to accomplish the task.

But they hadn't succeeded before, and Lan Qing had long given up hope for Yikun Palace. The result was not as they and their servants had imagined.

On the day that Prince Yongzhang's condition worsened and he frequently fainted, Xia He caught a sneaky little eunuch in a side hall of Yikun Palace.

The filthy undergarments and the hundred taels of silver they found allowed them to easily identify the murderer.

Chen Yuwei simply used the same tactics against him.

One second Xiao Yi and Yin Zi were sent back to Zhongcui Palace, and the next second Consort Chun, with her men and disheveled hair, stepped onto the gate of Zhongcui Palace.

After that, everyone in the palace knew what had happened.

Consort Yi was implicated in plotting against the imperial heir. Not only was the Huang family imprisoned and exiled to the frontier, but she herself was also abandoned in the Cold Palace to fend for herself before she could see the emperor one last time.

Oh, Consort Yi has lost her rank and title and has been sent to the Cold Palace as a commoner.

Consort Sun, who originally lived in Zhongcui Palace, was moved to Jingyang Palace. All the palace servants of Zhongcui Palace were sent to the Shenxing Division, and Zhongcui Palace was directly sealed off.

Think that's the end of the story? No, no, no, this is just the beginning.

Or rather, although Consort Yi's actions did not kill the three young princes, Yonghuang and Yonglian's health deteriorated significantly, and Yongzhang was burned into a mentally disabled person, thus ruining the lives of these three children.

Especially since Yonglian was the legitimate son, the Empress wished she could tear Consort Yi to pieces. What had she done to Consort Yi? This person went to the Cold Palace and died right away, but unfortunately, her family members all suffered a fate worse than death. They were escorted to the frontier by soldiers in the dead of winter, barely surviving.

"Look, this is the price of being out of one's mind. I hope the others in the harem will take this as a warning and never harm themselves or others."

The flowers and plants by the window bloomed and withered, and the leaves turned from green to yellow and then died.

Year after year, time flies, and it's now March of the third year of the Qianlong reign.

With the mourning period coming to an end, the first imperial selection after the new emperor's ascension to the throne has begun.
