Mingxiu glanced at it twice and then stopped paying attention; it had nothing to do with her now anyway.
Nothing happened at the banquet. When it ended, Mingxiu took Lüzhu and left to go home and sleep. She was so tired. She hadn't fallen asleep until almost dawn the night before and had been dragged out of bed by Lüzhu early this morning.
Mingxiu walked too fast and naturally missed what happened next. The next day, she heard about a major event in the palace and looked at Xiaoxizi in shock, making sure she hadn't misheard.
"Really? Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?" Mingxiu stared at Xiaoxizi with wide eyes.
"Oh, Your Majesty, even if I had several heads, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense. It's absolutely true, the whole palace has heard about it," Xiao Xizi said confidently.
Mingxiu felt that the world had changed.
What happened?
Mingxiu couldn't believe it; there really were people who didn't know their place.
Going back to yesterday, Princes Yinreng and Yinti were also present last night, and Mingxiu left after dinner.
Yinreng and Yinti left together, but Yinreng was the crown prince, so he lived in Yuqing Palace, while Yinti was to live in the Prince's Residence. The Third Prince was still young, so he did not live in the Prince's Residence. The palace regulations stipulated that children who turned six years old should live separately in the Prince's Residence.
So now only Yinti is staying in the prince's quarters. It's already very late when he gets back at night. He played with Baocheng at the banquet for a while and is now a little tired.
Just as he was about to wash up and go to bed, he saw a palace maid he had never seen before serving him. Yinti asked with some confusion, "Who are you? Where is my former maid?"
"Replying to Your Highness, I was a palace maid who served you before, and I have now been transferred here to serve you." Yinti nodded but did not say anything.
He simply told her to start preparing some water for him to wash up; things were perfectly normal up to this point.
Mingxiu thought it made sense.
But no one expected that the eldest prince would feel something was wrong with him right after he finished washing up, and he lay on the bed sweating profusely because he felt hot all over.
At first, he didn't understand what was going on, but then Yinti suddenly realized what was happening. There were bound to be things to do in the palace, and besides, he had overheard some of the things his childhood friends had said outside the palace, so he quickly figured out what was going on.
He instantly realized that there was something wrong with the palace maid from before, and then he saw the palace maid slowly walk in. Without saying a word, Yinti kicked her out and then called people in to start cleaning up.
He immediately sought the help of the imperial physicians. Consort Hui and the Emperor rushed to the Prince's residence upon hearing the news, but the matter had become too big, and with the need to summon the imperial physicians, it could no longer be kept secret.
Mingxiu was stunned. How old was Yinti? He was just a little kid under ten years old. And now people were trying to scheme against him in this way again?
She couldn't help but frown, swallow hard, and asked hesitantly, "What's going on now? Have they found out?"
Xiao Xizi shook her head: That palace maid has been taken away by the Emperor's men, and the eunuch serving the First Prince has also been knocked unconscious. What exactly happened? They haven't said yet, but I think they should be able to find out.
Mingxiu nodded. Indeed, the people under the Emperor's command were not to be trifled with. Anyone who dared to scheme against his son would be in deep trouble.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed furious. He heard the news while he was reviewing memorials in the Qianqing Palace that night. For a moment, he thought he had misheard. His son?
His eldest son is not even 10 years old yet, and people are already using such despicable methods to scheme against him.
When she came to her senses, she was furious. She rushed over and saw Yinti. When she arrived, Consort Hui was already wiping away tears. With such a big incident in the palace, the Imperial Noble Consort naturally had to be there as well.
Kangxi didn't speak, but glanced at Yinti, who was resting in bed, and asked the imperial physician directly how the eldest prince was doing.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is doing well now, but taking this kind of medicine too early is a bit harmful to his body. However, it's not a big problem. He will recover after a period of rest. During this time, he should still eat a light diet."
Consort Hui nodded through her tears.
Emperor Kangxi was furious, and Consort Hui was also crying uncontrollably, kneeling on the ground and begging the Emperor to do justice for them.
Emperor Kangxi helped Consort Hui up from the ground and assured her that he would definitely find out who was behind this.
After seeing that Yinti had fallen asleep peacefully, Kangxi left with his entourage. Consort Hui stayed there until Yinti woke up before leaving.
The Emperor also replaced all the people in the Prince's quarters, and all the previous staff, especially those who served the First Prince, were taken away.
Mingxiu was speechless, but also a little scared. This time it was Yinti, but what if it was Yinreng next? She quickly sent someone to Yuqing Palace to summon Yinreng.
Something happened in the palace yesterday, and none of the princes are at school today. Yinreng is still staying in Yuqing Palace.
Soon, Yinreng arrived at Yonghe Palace. He had heard about what happened yesterday and wanted to see his elder brother, but his father wouldn't let him go, so he could only worry anxiously in his own palace.
Mingxiu looked at Yinreng who was walking over in a hurry. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. No matter how she thought about it, she felt awkward saying these words to a five or six-year-old child.
I just can't bring myself to say it.
Mingxiu sat at the table, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and even called away all the servants around her.
Seeing Mingxiu's expression, Yinreng understood that she probably wanted to talk about his elder brother, so he spoke first: "Mother Consort Ming, don't worry, I know what happened. Don't worry, I will be careful and this will not happen again."
He wouldn't let that happen. The cat would monitor his physical condition at all times, so these things wouldn't enter his body at all, Yinreng thought to himself.
Mingxiu grinned awkwardly, unsure of what to say, but seeing Yinreng's understanding expression, she could only nod. Indeed, he had a system with minor protection, so Yinreng shouldn't encounter such a situation.
But let me remind the system again, just in case... better safe than sorry.
Thinking about this, Mingxiu felt that she still needed to go into the space later to leave a message for the system and exchange ideas.
Today, Mingxiu didn't have Yinreng eat or talk with him for a while before letting him leave directly. The palace was not peaceful, and Kangxi was not comfortable with the Crown Prince being alone, so Yinreng went directly to the Qianqing Palace.
Mingxiu watched Yinreng's departing figure and breathed a sigh of relief. Turning back, she thought of Yinti and wanted to go see Consort Hui, but she was worried that Consort Hui would think she had ill intentions. She was conflicted and didn't know whether she should go or not.
After thinking it over, I decided to go anyway. I also prepared some nourishing and health-preserving items to bring to Yinti later. He is now staying in Consort Hui's palace to recuperate for a while.
This would put Consort Hui at ease. This was something Consort Hui herself asked the Emperor for, and the Emperor agreed.
