Chen Yuwei reached out and rubbed Hongli's chest, her eyes filled with worry.
Hongli felt reassured. "Don't worry, I won't bother with them. It's not worth it."
I am the future ruler of the Qing Dynasty, why bother arguing with these lackeys? Once things are settled, it won't have any impact at all.
It's a pity that some people still had the opportunity to gossip to the Emperor.
Hongli harbored resentment and was very dissatisfied with the Zhou family's lack of appreciation.
"Wei'er, there has been some turmoil in the manor recently. I have been watching with a cold eye. It is some people who are not being honest. You should stay in Ruyi Residence and take care of Yonghu and the others. Once things have passed, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
As if he had thought of something, Hongli reached out and patted Chen Yuwei's shoulder again.
The implication was clear: Chen Yuwei should try to stay home as much as possible.
Chen Yuwei naturally knew some of the details of the mansion. She wouldn't have gotten involved if Hongli hadn't told her, let alone now that Hongli had already explained it to her.
With a sweet smile on her face, Chen Yuwei leaned against Hongli's chest, her face slightly turned to the side, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand."
Joining in the fun only leads to being seen as part of the fun, and Chen Yuwei didn't want that.
Besides, if she could just stay put and get through this smoothly, why would she bother making a fuss?
Hongli visited Ruyi Residence. Although the process was thrilling, it ended perfectly in the end, and Chen Yuwei's position was not threatened. Therefore, after this incident, Chen Yuwei did not inquire about anything and just stayed at Ruyi Residence to count the days.
A few days later, news came from Bai Cui Residence, where Zhou Zhenyue lived, that Zhou Zhenyue had suffered a sudden illness and her health had deteriorated, so she needed to rest in bed.
Fucha Jinyi went to visit on behalf of the others in the inner palace. After returning, she once again ordered that Bai Cui Residence be closed and that no one else in the inner palace was allowed to visit without special permission.
The entire mansion was in an uproar. No one knew why. Could it be that Princess Zhou's illness was very serious?
Unfortunately, no matter how much everyone in the inner palace speculated, Fucha Jinyi did not offer any explanation. As August approached, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and everyone else lost interest in Zhou Zhenyue, focusing instead on the inner palace.
In early August, Fucha Jinyi canceled her daily greetings, offered a few words of reassurance, and then closed the gates of her residence, implementing a policy of "no entry, no exit" for the entire mansion.
It's like a ignited powder keg, just waiting for the final explosion.
