Granny Zhang noticed that Changning seemed absent-minded after returning from the Deer Garden, and didn't even drink the yogurt that Master Ma had specially prepared for her, so she hurriedly asked Zhuiyu if something had happened.

Zhuiyu quickly told Granny Zhang everything about how she met Tian Gege and Chen Gege, and what the three of them had said.

Granny Zhang was also startled.

In this palace, there are many concubines who dislike cats.

What's the meaning?

Granny Zhang couldn't help but think more deeply. Tuantuan was just a cat; who could possibly target her?

It's just a pretext to deal with Tuantuan, and in turn, to deal with the young master, the fourth prince, and Yonghe Palace.

Changning felt that the best way to handle this matter was to start with Consort De.

If they were truly after me and Yinzhen, why would they need to take action in the palace?

With so many people around, it's easy for complications to arise and trouble to get involved.

Moreover, judging from Tian Gege's appearance, she doesn't seem like a wise man after the event, but rather someone who knows about a certain empress's plans and has come to remind her.

Changning steadied herself, grabbed Zhang Mama's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Has Tingfeng sent any news from the Prince's residence?"

Granny Zhang nodded hurriedly.

"It is said that three days ago, the Fujin went to the palace to deliver some things and report that the master was pregnant. There was nothing else unusual."

Changning frowned deeply. The ladies in the palace were all shrewd and clever; they probably wouldn't be so easy to find out.

However, his elder brother had many connections in the capital, so if he asked him to inquire, he should be able to get some information. Therefore, he hurriedly instructed Granny Zhang to send a message.

However, no matter who it is, if they dare to harm her child, Changning narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't blame me for being impolite!" Do they really think the Fucha family is easy to mess with?

Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover.

If you dare to use underhanded tactics, then you might as well give up your hands!

On Yinzhen's side, after riding alongside Kangxi for half a day, he also personally went hunting and caught two pure white foxes. He thought that they could be used to make two identical cloaks for Yaoxian and Hutuli.

Meanwhile, the fourteenth brother, brandishing his bow and arrow, was so angry he was jumping up and down, shouting, "Fourth brother! Those were arrows I was going to shoot to give to Mother!"

Yinzhen ignored him and went about his own hunting expeditions, but was relentlessly pursued by the Fourteenth Prince, who scolded him for being too ruthless and leaving no one alive.

Yinzhen was so annoyed that he threw down a sentence: "Mother likes black fox fur, you'd better go find some quickly."

The fourteenth prince instinctively wanted to retort, "When did Mother ever like black fox fur? She clearly prefers white fox fur." ​​But seeing Yinzhen's impatient expression, he swallowed his words.

"Foolish thing, didn't he notice that his mother's hand warmer covers were made of black fox fur?" Yinzhen was so angry that he stood there holding his breath, telling himself not to get angry, because if he got sick from anger, no one could take his place.

This was taught to him by Yao Xian.

Don't get angry, don't get angry. If I get angry, who will benefit? Besides, it's bad for my health and a waste of energy.

Thinking of Yao Xian, all of Yinzhen's anger vanished. He asked Su Peisheng to pick a rabbit for Chef Ma to roast, and also took two roasted lamb legs and two bowls of mutton soup from the kitchen staff.

When Yinzhen returned laden with his spoils, he noticed that Changning seemed somewhat distracted, which distressed him greatly.

"What's wrong? Su Peisheng!"

When Su Peisheng heard the call, he was puzzled. Since leaving the capital, he had focused all his energy on the safety of the Prince and had been running around with him. He really hadn't had time to pay attention to the concubine.

Yinzhen was furious and immediately kicked him.

"You dog of a servant, you fool! Can your master Fucha manage without two people by his side? You can't spare any time, are all the people around you dead?"

"Get out and get twenty lashes."

Su Peisheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead bleeding profusely in no time, yet he dared not beg for mercy. The more the angry prince heard him plead for mercy, the harsher the punishment became.

Changning couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped them.

“What does this have to do with him? It’s my own business. Eunuch Su, you can go now. You’ve been running around with me all day. Have a bowl of mutton soup to warm yourself up.”

Su Peisheng dared not move until the prince above him spoke, "Get out of here! Remember these twenty lashes; if there's a next time, you'll be punished with them all at once!"

Hearing this, Su Peisheng dared to kowtow and express his gratitude, then gave Changning a grateful look before retreating.

Master Fucha, you are my true master!

The prince had just thrown a huge tantrum, and all the servants in the room were so weak in the knees that they filed out at Changning's signal.

Changning rolled her eyes at him. "Where did you get so angry? Aren't you afraid of scaring the child?"

Yinzhen chuckled, but his tone wasn't so harsh. "You little ungrateful brat, wasn't it because I was afraid something would happen to you? Who knows if Tian and Chen are loyal or treacherous?"

"Su Peisheng has gotten too cocky. It's good to teach him a lesson, otherwise he still won't see your position!"

Indeed, Su Peisheng has taken note of this time. From now on, he will not only have to worry about his own master, but also pay more attention to Master Fucha.

Zhao Fuhai, Zhao Fuhai, from now on our family will belong to Qingzhi Courtyard!

However, Su Peisheng was also inwardly amazed, realizing that this was the first time he had ever seen his master care so much about a woman.

Just like in those storybooks, "He would risk everything for a beautiful woman."

Su Peisheng was certain that Third Master and Seventh Master wouldn't receive a kind word from his master these next two days.

Once Yinzhen's anger subsided, he turned around and coaxed Changning, "What could be so important that you're worried about this? Let's have our meal first. Don't worry about Yonghe Palace."

"My mother has been favored for over thirty years, and she doesn't even have this much tactic? The two children will be fine. I guess some concubine is secretly plotting something."

Changning asked coldly, "Which empress do you think it is?"
