"As per His Majesty's arrangement, let Consort Ling stay and recuperate."
"I will compile the list of those to be sent on this inspection tour beyond the Great Wall and give it to Consort Rong."
Since Consort Rong has been in charge of managing this long journey, then Consort Rong should do her job well.
Hongli nodded, then turned and asked about the situation of Consort Yu and her son Yongqi.
Chen Yuwei said that the situation of her and her son was not optimistic, and anyone would not be able to stand kneeling in the cold wind all night.
My poor health is one factor, but the main issue is that the Emperor hasn't relented and forgiven me.
At that time, Hongli had already foreseen that Yongqi would talk back and that Consort Yu would be forced to kneel as punishment. He even told people not to plead for her.
"Let Consort Yu and Yongqi rest and recuperate properly. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital will do their utmost."
Hongli didn't think he had gone too far. His son dared to interfere in his father's affairs and overstepped his bounds, so he was bound to be reprimanded and educated.
However, Hongli was unusually excited at the time, and his actions were slightly brutal.
Not only did it harm Consort Yu and her son Yongqi, but it also damaged her reputation.
Although Emperor Hongli later issued an edict to suppress the news as much as possible, as the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks, and there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
No matter how hard Hongli tried to conceal it, he couldn't stop the incident from happening outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Now, Consort Yu and her son Yongqi are the sharpest thorn in Hongli's heart.
It can't be pulled away or thrown away; it can only be left there frozen in place, unless one of the two sides can completely disappear.
Chen Yuwei whispered some trivial matters about the inner palace to Hongli.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Yuwei got up to say goodbye and left first.
"Your Majesty"
Xingkui and others waited at the door. When they saw their master come out, they quickly went to greet him.
By this time, the rain outside had stopped, but the ground was still slippery and riddled with puddles.
"Let's go back."
Some things cannot be said openly in public. Chen Yuwei glanced at Gao Yu, who was in charge of greeting the other concubines, out of the corner of her eye, then turned and left decisively.
The sedan chair was parked in a corner outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with other sedan chairs parked nearby.
"It was Consort Guo and Consort Lian who were brought here by Eunuch Gao before you came out."
Chen Yuwei nodded and sat down through the curtain that Xingkui had lifted, seemingly not caring at all.
