Xiuning was indeed quite distressed, especially since Bu'er and Dai had not yet returned. However, she had been informed of news about Bu'er and Dai by the system and through letters from Yin Yi.
Xiu Ning held the newly opened letter in her hand, gazing calmly out the window. "System, how many more of them have arrived in the capital?"
The system replied, "It will take about half a month."
Although the return journey was not as busy as the outward journey, Kangxi needed to stop along the way to summon ministers from all sides, which took up half a month.
Xiuning rubbed her eyes and brows. "The palace has been peaceful lately, but once people return, it will probably be lively again."
The system countered, "Isn't liveliness good?"
The system was somewhat alarmed by the previous silence; the feeling of loneliness was very similar to the situation Xiu Ning found herself in when she wasn't taking on any missions.
Xiu Ning pursed her lips. "Is it lively?" Behind every moment of liveliness lies the loss of lives.
"Have you heard? The Crown Princess is pregnant. There will definitely be trouble in Yuqing Palace during this time."
Many people, including Emperor Kangxi himself, did not want the Crown Princess to give birth to a child safely.
The problem is that the Crown Princess's pregnancy is at an inopportune time. In the past, it might not have been so troublesome, but given the current circumstances, it is quite unusual.
Knowing about this incident, everyone understands that even the crown prince can be brought down.
So, as the grandson of the crown prince, who could increase the crown prince's bargaining power and make it harder for Kangxi to touch him, who would want this child to be born?
The system continued to speak in its monotonous, mechanical voice, "If Yuqing Palace is not peaceful, the inner palace cannot be peaceful either."
"Host, are you going to make a move this time?"
The system is unsure of the host's attitude, just as the system has always believed that the host has his own set of standards when it comes to harming others.
But since it concerns the throne, the host seems unable to resist the temptation.
Xiuning did not give an answer, mainly because she herself was not quite sure.
"We'll see what happens then, who knows what it will be like."
Xiuning felt that the closer she got to the end, the less she should get carried away.
"Spring Rain, come here for a moment."
No longer speaking to the system, Xiu Ning called Chun Yu, who was waiting at the door.
"Go and tell the people in the Imperial Household Department and the inner palace that the Emperor's entourage will return to the palace in half a month. Make preparations as soon as possible."
Xiu Ning smiled brightly, her face showing no trace of gloom.
Chunyu nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
