Although Yinzhen felt that his concubine was not up to par, he wouldn't allow others to say anything, and his already expressionless face turned cold.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

He Zhuo could only act as a peacemaker.

"Fourth brother, your eldest brother is just sad because he has lost his child. Besides, you know your eldest brother's temper. He is straightforward and has no bad intentions."

"Yes, sister-in-law, I understand. But what exactly happened today? I just got back and haven't had a chance to find out yet."

He Zhuo Balabala poured out everything he knew.

Yinzhen frowned: "In this matter, Li Shi did indeed fall short in some aspects. I will have her go to apologize to us."

“There’s no need for an apology,” Yinzhi waved his hand. “Just help me investigate and see who’s behind this.”

Although Yinzhi felt sorry for the unborn child, he had just found out about the miscarriage and had little emotional connection with it, so if you were to say he cared, it was only a little bit.

Yinzhen understood that someone might be secretly sabotaging his relationship with Prince Zhi. Although the two were on opposing sides, they had never had any conflicts and their relationship was relatively harmonious.

Yinzhen didn't want to have another formidable rival.

"Fourth brother, you can check who tampered with these horses, and why Consort Li went to the horse races recently. Was she misled?"

Of course, sister-in-law, you're not trying to meddle in my household affairs. You men sometimes don't fully understand the power struggles among the women in the household; often, even a little jealousy can ignite a conflict.

"Thank you for informing me, sister-in-law." Yinzhen had no objection to this sister-in-law; in fact, he treated her with respect.

It should be said that He Zhuo cultivated a good image as a virtuous wife and loving mother. She was a model of a virtuous wife and loving mother in the royal family.

"Okay, that's all. I just came to tell my fourth brother. There's nothing else."

"Fourth brother, I'm leaving now. You go ahead with your work."

When Yinzhi and his wife arrived, they looked unhappy, but when they left, they looked calm.

After seeing his elder brother and sister-in-law off, Yinzhen went to Consort Li's courtyard and gave her a severe scolding.

It turned out that Li's provocative words were because of a qipao (Manchu-style dress). The two had previously played with several concubines and were wearing the same dress.

Although Lady Li was favored in the Fourth Prince's mansion, it was actually because she had no rivals and had given birth to four children, so her position was naturally equal to that of the principal wife.

However, Li was not young anymore, and wearing the same clothes, she was naturally outshone by Shumulu.

So, it's not scary to wear the same clothes as someone else; it's embarrassing for the one who looks worse.

Li felt embarrassed and angry because everyone was laughing at her, so she held a grudge against Shumulu.

It can only be said that because the Fourth Prince liked her, and she gave birth to children one after another, all the children in the Fourth Prince's mansion, except for Honghui, came from her womb. The Fourth Prince's wife had to give her some leeway, and she was used to being arrogant and domineering.

Later, he discovered that Princess Rongxian's sister-in-law had a crush on Prince Zhi, so he tried to instigate a horse race between them. In reality, he just wanted to embarrass Shumulu, since Mongolian women grew up on horseback and it was basically a sure win for them.

Then, because she remembered that everyone was laughing at her that day, she felt resentful and spoke very rudely.

Even now that things have gone wrong, she still tries to cover it up, only mentioning verbal provocation without going into details. Little did she expect that the First Princess Consort would expose all her secrets.

Although Yinzhen was disappointed in her, she was, after all, the woman he loved and who had given him three sons and a daughter. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to be harsh with her. After scolding her a few times, he quickly cleaned up her mess.

However, no matter how much they searched, they found nothing.

However, Yinzhi's intuition told him that this matter must be related to the Crown Prince.
