Consort Xian was tempted, but said, "Do you have any evidence? The Seventh Prince's smallpox outbreak was suspicious. The Emperor investigated it personally and punished a number of people, but he still couldn't find out who did it. If even the Emperor couldn't find out, I don't believe you can find out, sister. If the Seventh Prince was like this, the Second Prince has been dead for several years, so there's even less to be found out."

“Sister, we don’t have any evidence, but we still need to give our Empress a specific suspect! A dying mother is the last person we should mess with. Although the Empress is gentle, we have all witnessed her love for her children. Sister, I believe that the Empress will leave our Emperor with some very memorable last words.”

After hearing this, Consort Xian felt that it was highly feasible.

What do you want to do?

"This is what my sister plans to do..."

Consort Shu explained her plans, and Consort Xian nodded from time to time, occasionally adding her own comments.

Ji Huan received a message from Granny Chen that this trip to Shandong would be quite lively.

As expected, Ji Huan was also on the entourage list.

As Ji Huan sat in the carriage, listening to Qing Yin recount the sheer size of the entourage, she couldn't help but think of Qianlong's historical reputation.

Many people say he was a professional emperor, that his ability to rule was innate, that he was born to manipulate power, yet deep down he valued his reputation immensely, was ambitious, and loved extravagance and pleasure…

He was born in the later years of Emperor Kangxi's reign, when Kangxi was an elderly and powerful ruler with an extremely strong desire for control. He wanted a good reputation, official corruption was rampant, and he indulged in many pleasures.

It can be said that Emperor Qianlong largely replicated the style of Emperor Kangxi in his later years.

Ji Huan felt that if such an emperor were to live to the age of ninety-eight, it would be a disaster for the country.
