Yunrong's original intention was to leave the palace and find another place to conduct the experiment, but since the emperor had already said so, she would discuss it later! If she wanted to make demands, she would have to produce research results first!
When Yinzhen and Yunrong asked her what she wanted to do recently, he asked, "What do you want to do lately?"
Yunrong: "I wonder if you've ever dreamed of something called a light bulb in the future. I want to experiment with electricity. After all these years, I'm still not used to using candles!"
Yinzhen: "I know. If you need anything, just send Dexi to the Imperial Household Department to give instructions. If not, send Dexi to me, and I will have someone find a way to get it for you!"
Yunrong saw that this person was indeed very sincere. Even in modern times, no boss would be so earnest during experiments! Not bad, Yunrong felt quite satisfied!
Yunrong felt relieved once things were out in the open! She saw herself as the emperor's personal researcher! Since she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't want to become one of the emperor's women!
Yinzhen didn't plan to sleep with Yunrong either. Firstly, perhaps because he had been a ghost for so long, he was a little slow to react to women. Secondly, he was still in a stage where he needed to recuperate. Naturally, he wouldn't go back on his word!
After having a frank conversation with Yunrong, Yinzhen had no intention of staying there any longer! So he said a word and left with his men!
Fearing that the palace might favor one over the other, after Yinzhen left, he had Liang Jiugong select a few nice pieces of jewelry and send them to Yunrong!
The next day, the other women in the palace learned that the Emperor had gone to Yongshou Palace the day before, but he did not touch Consort Xian. However, he did bestow many gifts upon her. This move by Yinzhen left everyone in the palace quite confused!
What does the Emperor mean by this? He doesn't summon Consort Xian but gives her a generous reward. The Emperor's behavior is baffling!
The Empress Dowager had also heard about it and roughly guessed why her grandson gave rewards but didn't touch Consort Xian—it was simply because it was unacceptable!
Whenever she thought of this, the Empress Dowager wanted to beat Consort Xi to death, which made her even more resentful of the Empress!
I thought that with the Emperor's generous reward to Consort Xian, she might finally rise to power! But then nothing happened, and the Emperor became engrossed in state affairs again, barely stepping into the inner palace!
This made the women in the harem restless!
But they couldn't hold back any longer. The Emperor simply wouldn't enter the harem, and no one could force him to sleep with women! Everyone in the harem was basically worried, but then something happened that made the Emperor step into the harem!
Prince Chenghu suddenly fell ill with a persistent high fever. The Imperial Hospital doctors came one by one to diagnose him, but no one could find a solution. Naturally, this matter alarmed Yinzhen!
Yinzhen knew that Chenghu's health was poor, having been damaged in the womb, and further injured by his mother's battle with Niohuru the day after. If he had been properly cared for, he could have lived for several more years!
Yinzhen had a plan and ordered the imperial physicians to do their best to treat the prince. Prince Chenghu had a high fever for three days and no amount of treatment could be reduced. They tried everything, including physical methods such as alcohol, but in the end, he still couldn't make it and passed away!
Prince Chenghu is gone, and the Empress faints from grief! Yinzhen has seen many deaths and injuries. With the loss of his brother in his soul, he only feels that life is fleeting. He sighs a few times and then passes away!
The Empress Dowager was also heartbroken at the loss of this great-grandson born of the principal wife, after all, he was born of the principal wife, and he was also the eldest prince who lived to a ripe old age! Now that the Emperor needs to recuperate, it is unknown when the next child will be born!
When the Empress regained consciousness, she cried her heart out, a sight that moved all who heard and saw her to tears!
Because Prince Chenghu was gone, the palace was particularly oppressive for a long time. Some timid people didn't even dare to eat meat! They were afraid of offending the Empress!
When the Empress Dowager saw that Chenghu was gone, she knew that the only remaining prince had to be well cared for! The Empress Dowager sent someone to Consort Rong's place to send two nannies to the young prince and to get rid of a few people at the same time!
When the Empress learned of this, she harbored resentment towards the Empress Dowager and Consort Rong. Why did her son die while Consort Rong's son benefited? Did her son deserve to die?
Consort Rong was pleased to see how much the Empress Dowager valued her son! Originally, she felt that her son's health was not good and had planned to try again to have a child of her own or adopt one!
Now that her sickly son has caught the eye of the Empress Dowager, she will naturally no longer ignore him!
What Consort Rong didn't know was that if it weren't for Yinzhen sending people to watch over him, her son would probably have died long ago. Consort Rong's child was born prematurely, and the little prince was weak. Anyone with a bit of sense knew that the child would probably be difficult to raise, so they didn't want to bother harming him!
However, since Consort Rong was able to get pregnant several times in the harem, she must have had her own methods. She inevitably offended people along the way, and naturally some people disliked her. Even if her son might not survive, they would still try to cause trouble for her!
Consort Rong herself knew this, but she was actually happy to see it happen, hoping to use her son to gain favor with the Emperor. Unfortunately, the Emperor didn't fall for her tricks! Naturally, her efforts were in vain! And then she began to pay less attention to her son!
Now that her son has become useful, Consort Rong naturally won't let him go, and has started showering him with attention and care! Before, she would see him once every three days, but now she sees him three times a day, which is truly ridiculous!
The young prince was still small when he was fed by a wet nurse. He is less than three years old now and doesn't know what "mother" means. Even if his mother ignores him, he doesn't know what it means!
Perhaps it was a mother's instinct, but Consort Rong wanted to be close to her son, and he actually managed to win her over! Now, there's another topic of conversation in the harem: Consort Rong is a loving mother to her son, caring for him meticulously every day! She's always worried that her son might be too cold or too hot!
Yinzhen clearly saw through Consort Rong's intentions, but he was happy to see it happen. Regardless of whether it was genuine or not, the little prince would have a more interesting life with his mother protecting him!
