Xiu Ning felt that Tong Jia Rong Yue was really not smart. She was only slightly better than Hui Pin, but not much better. Look at Consort De and Consort Yi. How well these two could keep their composure? Consort Yi had just been punished by Emperor Kangxi, so she had learned her lesson. Consort De, on the other hand, never touched anything she shouldn't have, even if she was extremely tempted. She could just restrain herself with her patience.
Xiuning: ...I'm convinced.
Another Tongjia Rongyue fell from power in the harem, and Tongshi and Yinyu outside the palace became completely obedient.
The main problem was that Lady Tong wanted to lash out, but Yin Yu was worried that if she did, his mother would die like Consort Liang.
Look how pitiful Yinzhi is now. Not only is he ignored by his father when he goes to court, but he also has no peace and quiet when he returns home. It is said that he and his wife, Lady Guoluo, are on the verge of never speaking to each other again.
After all, the couple had developed a rift, and the person at the center of that rift was no longer alive.
Yinyu didn't want things to turn out this way, so he wanted to protect his mother.
On the other hand, Guo Luoluo, whom Yinyu mentioned, had no way to express her bitterness.
It wasn't just her who wanted to keep this a secret; who knew her mother-in-law would be so fragile, dying so suddenly and dragging her down with her, completely offending the Prince.
While seeking peace, Lady Guoluo went to the palace to ask Consort Yi for help.
Because of this matter, Consort Yi was almost driven to death by Lady Guoluo's worries.
Oh dear, he's just a distant relative, but not only did I not get any benefit from him, I almost got scammed.
Just when she was finally able to watch some excitement, some clueless person came to ask her for help.
Consort Yi: She looks just like that vengeful child? Don't be ridiculous.
Normally, if her own interests are not threatened, Consort Yi can still put on a friendly act with you.
If things really escalate to an unmanageable situation, or if Consort Yi's interests are harmed, she is not someone who is easy to talk to.
Consort Yi showed no intention of helping Guo Luoluo, who rushed over. In fact, she was quite dissatisfied with Guo Luoluo because of what happened with Yinzhi.
Looking at her niece, Guo Luoluo, who had come to beg her, with a half-smile, Consort Yi simply asked, "Why should I?"
Why should we ask her for help? And what benefits could Guo Luoluo offer?
Guoluo Clan: ...
"Auntie, aren't we relatives?" We're all family, so what's wrong with helping each other out?
Guo Luoluo's perfectly normal appearance infuriated Consort Yi to the point of vomiting blood.
She thought to herself that she didn't have any relatives who would betray her and her two children, and who would want to ruin them. If she kept these relatives around, it would mean that her good days were over and she simply didn't want to live anymore.
Consort Yi pursed her lips, not going to indulge Lady Guoluo. She spoke frankly, saying that it was impossible for Lady Guoluo to help. If Lady Guoluo could hold out, she could deal with it herself. After all, Consort Liang was dead, so why should she argue with a living person like Lady Guoluo?
Guo Luoluo: ...How can you say that?
Lady Guoluo was displeased. Her prince was angry with her because Consort Liang was dead. If she could persuade her prince herself, she wouldn't have to come here to beg for help.
"I really have no other choice. Xi Hui, you are not young anymore. Why don't you take good care of your health and prepare to get pregnant and have a child? Then, for the sake of the child, the Eighth Prince will not hold it against you."
Consort Yi's advice was also very useful. At least for the wives of princes during this period, having a child, especially a legitimate son, was indeed a thing with no harm whatsoever.
Guo Luoluo was even more devastated after hearing Consort Yi's words; she couldn't give birth.
I don't know why, even though I've taken countless fertility-enhancing medicines and prescriptions, there's still no sign of pregnancy in my belly.
Guo Luoluo was distressed, and to make matters worse, her aunt made fun of her about it.
Guo Luoluo snorted and left Yikun Palace, vowing that once she was better off, she would definitely not give the people of Yikun Palace a good look.
It was noisy and bustling; both the imperial court and the harem were quite lively.
Xiu Ning stayed in Qixiang Palace, happily watching the plays. Not only did she watch them herself, but every few days she would also invite Bu'er and Dai to the palace to watch them together.
By this time, Bu'er and Dai were three months pregnant and the fetal development was stable. Visiting the harem a few more times a day did not have much of an impact on their health.
"Mother, is the court proceedings still ongoing?"
It's been almost two years since the incident started, why is it taking so long?
Bu'er and Dai usually stayed at the princess's residence, and the consort would occasionally come to visit her. The two of them talked most about the turmoil in the court. The consort was cowardly and timid, and dared not cross the line even slightly.
“There’s no end to it, unless” that position is settled and no one else can cause trouble anymore, otherwise there is no other way to go.
Boer and Dai didn't want to know what happened next, because they knew it was not something they could get involved in.
Alright, you can just stay in the princess's residence and enjoy your leisurely life.
Buer and Dai were open-minded, Yinlu was open-minded, and Ningchuge was doing well in Khorchin. Only Yinyi resigned himself to continuing to fight with the others.
Another year has passed, and we have arrived at the year in the original timeline when Suo'etu died.
But now that Suo'etu and Mingzhu have gone to see the late emperor, they don't even have a chance to die.
Soetu had no chance, but Tong Guowei did.
Tong Guowei died more than a decade earlier than in the original timeline.
Not only did Tong Guowei run into trouble, but Tong Jia Rongyue in the palace also died along with him.
Tong Jia Rongyue lived for many more years than in the original timeline, but now that she is dying alongside her own father, it is not a good thing for the Tong family, because with this, the Tong family has lost its backbone.
Oh dear, what should we do?
Yinyu, a child whose mind was not yet mature, was overwhelmed by the successive mishaps of Tong Guowei and Tong Jia Rongyue. He broke down and his body became increasingly weak.
