Just like that, almost immediately, as soon as the group left Changchun Palace and turned back to their palace, a servant rushed over with a message.

Everyone rushed to the prince's residence without a moment's rest. Those who could ride in sedan chairs did so, while those who could travel did so on foot.

Chen Yuwei arrived the fastest, since Yikun Palace was the closest to Changchun Palace. Now, this had its advantages; at least she could gather information faster than the others.

On the way, Chen Yuwei complained to Xia He that Jin Xiangling hadn't chosen a date earlier or later, and she suspected that she hadn't carefully checked the almanac before being exposed, which was why she had to pick such an auspicious day.

In the future, whenever the Empress sees the little prince born to Jin Xiangling, she will probably think of Yonglian.

That's too much; it looks fake.

"Your Majesty, when we get to the Princes' quarters, shall we go directly to Prince Yonglian's place?"

Chen Yuwei nodded, "I'll go over there. You go over to Yonghu and the others and tell the three of them to behave themselves."

Yonglian is too young; the Emperor would not hold a funeral for such a young child.

More often than not, they would hold a few religious ceremonies to send the person out of the palace and into the imperial mausoleum.

While the two were talking, the prince arrived.

The scene before one's eyes was one of solemnity.

Thinking of Yonglian's age, Chen Yuwei sighed and put her hand on Xia He's forearm. "Let's go."

The group quickened their pace and walked in opposite directions in the passageway ahead.

Xia He was instructed by Chen Yuwei to remind the young masters, while Chen Yuwei needed to rush to Prince Yonglian's residence to fulfill her duties as a concubine.

Ironically, at this moment, Fucha Jin Yi least wanted to see these people, but due to the rules, she had no choice but to meet them.

Even considering the dignity of the Empress, Fucha Jinyi could not show much emotional change, which was both pitiful and tragic.

"Your Highness, please enter the palace."

Servants were already waiting at the door, and when Chen Yuwei entered, they led her directly to the empty main hall.

Where is the Empress?

Chen Yuwei spoke, her gaze sweeping lightly over the courtyard draped in white.

"Her Majesty the Empress is still in the side hall," said Prince Yonglian, who lives in the side hall.

"The Emperor has arrived?"

Wu Shulai was not seen around, so Hongli was probably still on his way.

Not at all

The maid's words confirmed Chen Yuwei's guess.
