Consort Wuya looked impatient, as if she could turn on someone at any moment.
Knowing she couldn't argue with her, Tong Wanle quickly closed her eyes and said, "This servant accompanied Consort Tong to Yuqing Palace, but was kicked out by Consort Tong."
"Anything else?" Consort Wu raised an eyebrow, the crisp sound of the teacup lid falling onto the teacup sending shivers down one's spine.
Tong Wanle looked at her in surprise: "No, that's all."
Wu Yapin sneered: "If you don't want to tell the truth, then hurry up and leave."
"Not long after Consort Tong left Yuqing Palace, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite her to the small Buddhist hall. Your Majesty, you must save me! I'm terrified, terrified of being implicated. I have absolutely no connection with Consort Tong!" Tong Wanle was truly frightened.
A chill ran down Wu Yapin's spine to the back of her head, making her shiver.
The Empress Dowager has served two emperors, including a deposed empress before her, but she has steadily survived the previous emperor and is now highly respected and filial by Emperor Kangxi.
Would someone like that casually disrespect concubines?
The fact that she could become so enraged that she disregarded Consort Tong's dignity shows that Consort Tong had committed a heinous act.
"Such a big matter, and you actually wanted to hide it from me. Guards, take Consort Tong back to the prince's quarters. The Fourth Prince is the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, and has nothing to do with me. The Fourth Prince's concubines are not allowed to come here!" Consort Wuya must be a fool to get involved in this mess.
She distanced herself so completely, she didn't even have the desire to benefit from the Fourth Prince's influence.
Tong Wanle collapsed to the ground in despair, knowing full well that once she returned to the prince's residence, she would either die of illness or be confined for life.
Yinzhen never liked her, and he never even gave her the routine favors he was expected to have.
Living like a widow is miserable enough; does it have to get any worse?
Tong Wanle, who was filled with despair, suddenly brightened her lifeless eyes.
She thought to herself, "I was the one who should have entered Yuqing Palace back then."
Could it be that the Crown Prince's heart originally belonged to her, and Tong Wanyan was merely a substitute? His current hatred for her stems from unrequited love. Isn't there a saying, "Love turns to hate"?
As if she had discovered the truth, Tong Wanle's eyes burned with intense light.
"I have to see the Crown Prince. I must see the Crown Prince. He would never bear to see me suffer. I will be his favorite concubine, the woman he deeply loves." Tong Wanle curled up in a ball, muttering softly, her words unclear.
Even the palace maids closest to her were several feet away and couldn't hear what she was saying.
Fortunately, Tong Wanle didn't completely lose her mind. She still retained a sliver of rationality and didn't say a word when the palace maids approached.
She simply turned back and gave Wuya Pin a deep look: "You'll regret this."
Uya Pin looked at her with disdain, her expression full of mockery.
As soon as they stepped out of the side hall, the palace maid loosened her grip on Tong Wanle's arm.
Tong Wanle easily broke free, took a few steps to the side, and then pushed the person away.
As luck would have it, she was wearing platform shoes and retreated to a cobblestone path.
She felt her feet were slippery, and somehow she stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.
After falling, she only felt as if something was under her.
"ah!"
A shrill scream came from beneath Tong Wanle.
Tong Wanle has gotten herself into big trouble!
It turned out that when Tong Wanle shook off the palace maids who were holding her, Consort Wang was taking a walk not far behind her.
Consort Wang, with her non-existent belly, walked slowly and cautiously behind a whole host of servants.
Little did they know that after madly shaking off the two palace maids, Wang Changzai, whose shoes slipped, would bump into her as she was out for a stroll.
When disaster strikes, there's no escaping it.
Wang Changzai struggled to push the person away, and the palace maids beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Not far away, Consort Wuya's maidservant watched this scene, her face turning pale.
With Wang Changzai pregnant, how can she be safe under Tong Gege's pressure?
"Quickly summon the imperial physician! Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
A clever palace maid shouted, and Yonghe Palace immediately erupted into chaos, like boiling water.
The dragon prince is in trouble; this is a serious matter that cannot be kept secret from anyone.
Now the harem is jointly managed by Consorts Yi and Hui. Before Kangxi went on his expedition, he specifically instructed that Consort Wang be well taken care of during her pregnancy.
Emperors do not mind having many children, believing that many children bring many blessings. Moreover, Consort Wang was young and beautiful, which was the type that Emperor Kangxi liked.
Now that Emperor Kangxi has left, Consort Wang has run into trouble. How will Consorts Yi and Hui explain this in the future?
Leaving aside the Empress's position, both of them wanted to compete for the position of Imperial Concubine.
Consort Wuya hid in the side hall and refused to come out. She was no longer the mistress of Yonghe Palace and had no need to concern herself with the matter of Consort Wang.
At this point, she can at most be called cold-hearted and callous.
The spot where Tong Wanle slipped had already been cleaned up before anyone could investigate.
The oil stain had been wiped clean at some point, leaving no trace.
Tong Wanle stood there, dazed and disoriented, watching Wang Changzai being carried away. Before her lay a large pool of blood, its stench thick and strong.
It seems unlikely that Wang Chang will survive this pregnancy.
The imperial physician arrived incredibly fast, almost running like a whirlwind, but he was still too late.
"Please accept my condolences, Your Excellency." After a series of acupuncture treatments to stop the bleeding and taking his pulse, the imperial physician had no choice but to shake his head and say dejectedly.
What is there to mourn?
Wang Changzai stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Imperial Physician, please think of something! I can feel the little prince still inside me, he's still moving!" Consort Wang pleaded tearfully.
In the past ten years or so, such things often happened in the harem. The imperial physicians had seen it all and their hearts had hardened.
He said respectfully, "Your Excellency, a three-month-old fetus will not move. Please accept my condolences."
Consort Wang closed her eyes weakly, her lips pale.
How could she not know? But she refused to believe that despite all her precautions, something still happened.
"Whoever hit me, I'll make her pay with her life!" Wang Changzai gritted his teeth.
The imperial physician listened and withdrew silently, saying he would write a prescription for Consort Wang.
He didn't hear a word of her hateful words.
At this time, Yinzhen was checking accounts at the Ministry of Revenue. He was naturally cautious, meticulous, and had a serious temperament.
Su Peisheng cautiously approached him, causing him to frown.
"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?" He was looking at a stack of account books, feeling a headache coming on.
Su Peisheng was even more cautious: "Sir, Princess Tong bumped into Consort Wang. Consort Wang has miscarried."
"You bastard!" Yinzhen was so angry that his body swayed.
In this sweltering heat, the stingy and miserly people in the Ministry of Revenue couldn't bear to put out more than a few bowls of ice.
Yinzhen's official robes were buttoned up neatly, leaving no room for drafts.
Despite being provoked by Su Peisheng, he didn't faint; that really shows his willpower.
"I won't concern myself with this matter. Tong was sent to the prince's quarters by Consort Wuya, so Consort Wuya should be responsible for handling any problems that arise," Yinzhen said in a deep voice.
