Ulanara was somewhat angered by Yunyi's words. Where Huang Taiji could not see, she clenched her handkerchief tightly and sneered inwardly.
Ha! So what if Niohuru's son is gone? She died young. Now I am the Grand Consort, and my two sons are the most honorable. Luo Bohui, a little brat whose mother died, dares to compare himself with my Hauge and Loge.
It would be best to get both of you out of here this time, so I don't have to do it twice.
Clearly, Ulanara's plan was doomed to fail, because Yunyi discovered it from the very beginning.
Huang Taiji did not speak, but he agreed with Yunyi's words. He now had four sons in total.
Luo Bohui was born to the first wife, Niohuru, and was of the highest status. In addition, his birth mother died early, so Huang Taiji inevitably showed more affection to this poor child.
He didn't spend much time in the mansion throughout the year, and his primary consort, Ulanara, managed the household affairs very well, so Huang Taiji didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew he would hear about such a thing happening now?
He didn't know who had done this, that they wouldn't even spare a child like this.
After a long while, the doctor came out, and Huang Taiji strode forward anxiously: "How is the Third Prince?"
Fortunately, although the doctor's expression was heavy, it also carried a sense of relief: "Your Highness, rest assured, I have cured the Third Prince of his poison. However, because of the poisoning, the Third Prince is much weaker than before. He must not overexert himself and must rest quietly."
Upon hearing that the poison had been neutralized, Huang Taiji's expression softened slightly, but when the doctor added that Luo Bohui was too weak to exert himself, he frowned again.
The princes of the Great Jin Dynasty grew up on horseback, skilled in riding, hunting, and fighting on the battlefield.
How could Lobo be physically weak, as his son? Wouldn't he be unable to learn horsemanship in the future?
But later Huang Taiji felt relieved. The doctor said that it was fortunate that it was discovered early. It was already very good that he survived the poisoning, and no one could ask for anything more.
Although he was relieved that his son could not ride a horse, Huang Taiji would not let go of the culprit who had caused his son's poor health.
After clarifying the situation, he told Ulanara to go back with Yunyi, and then he went alone to clear his mind.
After a long while, he sent someone to summon Granny Serin. This Granny had served his mother, Yehenara Menggu Zhe Zhe, and had come to serve him after his mother passed away.
Over the years, Huang Taiji had only kept Granny Sailin as his servant and rarely asked her to do anything. But now, because of the Third Prince's matter, he summoned Granny Sailin and wanted her to investigate the matter.
When Granny Serin took charge, she was experienced and skillful, but she handled the matter rather clumsily because of Ulanara's situation.
Within a few days, the investigation revealed that the Grand Consort Ulanara was the most suspicious, but the investigation also found some problems with the Consort Yunyi.
Therefore, Granny Serin gave Huang Taiji an idea.
These days, Huang Taiji's complexion has been quite poor because of the poisoning of the Third Prince, and he has sent Granny Sailin to investigate.
Ulanara felt guilty and thought that Huang Taiji's refusal to let her investigate meant he suspected her, which made her even more uneasy.
There's still no result. Yunyi remains calm, focusing solely on raising her child without fear, but Ulanara...
Finally, she seemed unable to sit still any longer, and that day she came to the front yard with her maid.
"My lord, last night a maidservant from my courtyard came to report that she had noticed something unusual happening in the concubine's courtyard. I dared not make a decision on my own, so I came to report it. What do you think we should do?"
Ulanara pretended to be innocent and virtuous, but then accused the villain first, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
Huang Taiji put down his pen, laughing to himself. He might have believed Ulanara's words before, but after Granny Selin told him her findings that day, his attitude towards the women in his harem changed.
Hearing Ulanara say these words now, he could only be suspicious, after all, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the thief was crying wolf.
He put down his pen, straightened his posture, and looked up at Ulanara: "Oh! So that's how it is, the Borjigit clan of the Eastern Courtyard, she..."
Thinking that Huang Taiji had believed her words and had some doubts about Yunyi, Ulanara was secretly pleased, but she still spoke well of Yunyi.
“Master, Zhe Zhe has always been polite and would never do such a thing. Someone must be framing her. Let’s go and see for ourselves and clear Zhe Zhe’s name.”
"Alright, then so be it." Huang Taiji nodded in agreement with a stern face.
The two, accompanied by their servants, made their way to the east courtyard in a grand procession. Yunyi had anticipated this as early as when Ulanara went to the front courtyard.
She held Ertenyi and teased him, filling the room with the little guy's giggling laughter.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Huang Taiji heard his youngest son's loud laughter. His previously composed face softened into a slight smile.
This little guy really did take after me; he's very strong.
Staring intently at Huang Taiji's face, Ulanara immediately noticed a change in his expression, and a pang of jealousy welled up within her.
Before Consort Yunyi entered the palace, she was the most favored, and her two sons were also the most beloved by Huang Taiji. But all of this came to an end after Yunyi entered the palace.
All of this made it impossible for Ulanara not to resent Yunyi, her secondary consort.
The couple, each with their own thoughts, entered Yunyi's courtyard.
Yunyi learned from Qiqige that Huang Taiji and his first wife had arrived.
Holding her son, Yunyi pretended not to know anything as she came outside: "Why have you and Sister Ge Dai come to my place, Master? Is there something you need?"
Before Huang Taiji could speak, Ulanara couldn't sit still any longer and spoke up somewhat anxiously.
“Sister Zhe Zhe, it’s nothing really. It’s just that a maid reported some strange activity in your courtyard last night, so I came with Master to take a look. Master also said that you’re not that kind of person, so don’t be afraid. We all believe in you.”
Hearing this, Yunyi really wanted to roll her eyes at Ulanara.
Sister Zhe Zhe, we believe in you. Believe in what? I didn't do anything. But the way you're saying this makes it seem like I did something.
She smiled innocently, with a hint of bewilderment, and turned to Qiqige behind her, asking, "Ah! Is there anything unusual happening in my yard?"
Qiqige shook her head: "Master, this servant did not hear any unusual sounds last night."
Yunyi looked at Ulanara and asked, "Sister Gedai, which maid told you this? Did she deceive you?"
Ulanara was furious, but because of Huang Taiji, she had to maintain her image and could only harbor resentment in her heart while maintaining a gentle expression on her face.
Yunyi made a slightly disgusting remark about Ulanara, but instead of doing anything else, she told Huang Taiji to take some people to check what had happened.
