Chapter 273 Sealing the Palace



A headache can be really unbearable, so we finally had to summon the imperial physician.

There were people working for Emperor Kangxi in Yonghe Palace. He was busy and didn't have time to inquire about her affairs, but considering that she wasn't quite clear-headed and this was her first time paying respects to her daughter-in-law after she became pregnant, he asked her a question.

He then learned about everything that had happened at Yonghe Palace.

When Kangxi found out, he could only sigh. The Fourteenth Prince was still too young, so he could only wait a few more years.

Thinking of the Fourteenth Prince, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh again. He was so foolish. He believed everything his mother said. He didn't know how his son had grown up in the palace. When he was a child, he seemed so clever and didn't look like he was brainless at all!

After much thought, Kangxi could only blame it on Consort Wuya. The Fourteenth Prince was their son, and he was very clear-headed. The Fourteenth Prince's muddle-headedness was not like his, but rather like Consort Wuya's.

In the end, even Kangxi regretted having the Fourteenth Prince; it was truly a terrible situation!

After sighing several times, Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong, "When he was fourteen, he was already clamoring to become a great general. Find him two martial arts instructors and teach him well. It would be best if he didn't have the energy to think about anything else."

A grown man shouldn't actually learn those shady ways.

Liang Jiugong: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Fourteenth Prince is still furious, unaware that he has already been criticized by Emperor Kangxi for being out of his mind.

He's still thinking about how to expose Tong Cheng'er's "vicious" true colors!

After saying all this, Kangxi thought about Yinzhen's problem. They were finally going to have a child, but Consort Wuya was not behaving herself and kept causing trouble. Fourteen-year-old Yinzhen was young and prone to impulsive actions. What if she really did something to hurt her daughter-in-law?

At that time, Yinzhen's child will be gone, and even if Yinzhen and the Fourteenth Prince are brothers, they will become enemies.

Thinking of this, Kangxi wished he could give Consort Wuya the medicine, but it wasn't possible for the time being. He had to wait until she was fourteen and married.

However, Emperor Kangxi couldn't swallow this insult. He was in a bad mood, and Consort Wuya naturally had to suffer as well.

So Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial edict, and Yonghe Palace was sealed off immediately.

Emperor Kangxi completely cut off any possibility of others entering, and even the palace maids and eunuchs inside had difficulty getting out. Every day at mealtimes, someone would come to deliver food or other groceries.

However, this really made things difficult for the other concubines living in Yonghe Palace. Although there were only a few at the level of "Da Yi," "Chang Zai," and "Gui Ren," they were not favored, so naturally no one thought of them when the palace was closed.

They can only accept their bad luck in such situations.

The sealing of Yonghe Palace caused quite a stir in the inner palace. Yonghe Palace's existence in the inner palace had been quite awkward in recent years. Consort Wuya had been confined inside and unable to leave, and it was originally thought that this was the only way it could go.

After all, Emperor Kangxi was a man who cherished old friendships. Consort Wuya had given birth to five children for him. Although not all of them survived, the bond he had with these children meant that things couldn't get any worse.

People in the palace were even thinking to themselves, "Maybe if we can endure this for a few more years, the confinement at Yonghe Palace will be lifted!"

As a result, just as her son was becoming successful, the restrictions on Yonghe Palace were tightened even further, and it was completely sealed off.

Upon hearing this news, Consort Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "She really has the ability to find out what stupid thing she's done this time."

The old woman replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Others included Consort Tong, Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and even Consort Niohuru, who usually had little involvement in affairs, joined in the fun.

After all, those who survive in the harem all have some tricks up their sleeves. It's been a long time since I've seen someone bring about their own demise. The harem is such a small place, so there always needs to be some fun to pass the time.

Otherwise, Emperor Kangxi alone wouldn't be able to comfort all three thousand beauties in the harem!

The Fourteenth Prince also received the news. He was somewhat bewildered. How could Yonghe Palace have been sealed off so soon after he left? He couldn't help but suspect a conspiracy.

He quickly said to the eunuch beside him, "Go and check if Fourth Brother went to Father Emperor's place after he left."

He didn't believe that his father, the Emperor, would suddenly decide to close the palace without a reason.

"yes"

When Yinzhen received the news, he was somewhat bewildered, but then he laughed. In his opinion, this was for the best.

Going to Yonghe Palace wouldn't be a bad thing, but it would be best to avoid it if possible, especially now that the young lady is pregnant.

When Yinzhen came in, Tong Cheng'er noticed he was in a good mood, so she smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did something good happen?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Yinzhen said directly, "It's not exactly a good thing. Father Emperor said that Mother's headache requires rest, so he issued an imperial edict to seal off Yonghe Palace. No one is allowed to enter and disturb Mother's recovery until the seal is lifted."

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback upon hearing this, then overjoyed. To be honest, even though she thought Consort Wuya was manageable, she was still quite tired of having to deal with it every time she had to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty is wise. Mother does need to rest. Shall we send some medicine over to her?"

You always have to do the superficial work right.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled and said, "I'll take care of this. You can focus on your pregnancy."

Tong Cheng'er nodded; she had just said it casually.

...

Rulan couldn't resist watching Ruxue, who looked shy and bashful, sewing a summer dress with needle and thread.

"Ru Xue, we grew up together. Tell me the truth, you don't have someone else in your heart."

Ru Xue was taken aback when she heard this. Was she being that obvious?

Upon seeing this, Rulan knew that she must be pregnant.

Rulan then asked, "Would you mind if I told you who it was?"

Although the two are not related by blood, they are as close as sisters, and she wanted to give them her opinion.

Ru Xue thought for a moment and then didn't hide it: "You know this person, he's the one I was talking about before."

Upon hearing this, Rulan thought carefully for a while before saying, "Is it Mr. Rong?"

Ru Xue nodded.

Rulan frowned slightly. She thought it was someone else. This Mr. Rong wasn't bad, but the Fujin had asked the master to inquire before, and he said he had no intention of remarrying.

What's this?

Does he know how you feel?

Ru Xue shook her head, her mood somewhat downcast, and said, "He doesn't know."

Rulan then asked, "These clothes were made for him too, right? And what about those purses and such from before?"

Ru Xue nodded.

Rulan couldn't help but shake her head helplessly and said, "How could you be so silly! You did so much and no one knew a thing. In the end, you only moved yourself, and maybe the other person didn't even realize it. All that work was for nothing."

Ru Xue was taken aback when she heard this: "It wasn't for nothing. Mr. Rong really liked the clothes I made for him."

Rulan said, "If you keep doing this, Mr. Rong might never see you again. Here's what we'll do: you continue making the clothes, and I'll go and inquire tomorrow to see if there's anything I can do to help you."

This can't go on forever.

Ru Xue thought about it for a moment. Ru Lan was indeed more resourceful than her, and it was a way out for her to come up with a solution.

In fact, she knew in her heart that if things remained deadlocked, she would inevitably find herself in a dilemma.

"Okay, thank you for helping me."

Rulan: "You're being so polite with me."
