"Your Majesty, I thank you."

Meanwhile, in the inner palace, the servants under Consort Tong in Jingren Palace were completely stunned by what they were saying.

"You said you saw a palace maid who used to serve Consort Shu appear at the You family estate, and that she was quite trusted by You Qing?"

“I saw it with my own eyes. I was ordered to go out of the palace to make purchases. When I saw Miss Sangzhu, who used to work in Yongshou Palace, I felt something was wrong, so I kept an eye on her. Who knew that she went to a manor in the suburbs. When I inquired, I found out that the manor was near His Majesty’s newly built garden and belonged to a merchant surnamed You.”

This eunuch was able to leave the palace, indicating he held a high position in Jingren Palace. He knew about Consort Tong's request for his mother to investigate You Qing, and he also knew about the subsequent events.

Only then did they realize something was wrong, and they quickly came over to tell them.

"That shouldn't be the case! The women under Consort Shu's command are all the same kind of wretches. It's not that I haven't thought about winning them over, but they are so devoted to a dead person that they wouldn't even leave their empty palace. How could they possibly serve someone who resembles Consort Shu?"

Even if the substitute is very similar, this still doesn't make sense.

"Send someone to keep an eye on that estate and see if there are any other people who used to serve in Yongshou Palace. Also, go and inquire about any major changes in the servants of Yongshou Palace."

She felt that this matter was not simple.

Similar appearances, similar names, and the emperor's similar favoritism.

All of this made Consort Tong uneasy.

Her thoughts were getting worse.

No one in the harem was as favored as Kangxi. It seemed peaceful, but it was not. Consort Tong now held half of the palace power, but she was not satisfied. She wanted the rest of the palace power. Most importantly, she still wanted a child.

Over the years, having children has become an obsession for her.
