Consort Li dared not disobey Yinzhen's words and sat obediently.
The physician of the Su family took the pulse and after a long while said, "Liver stagnation and qi stagnation, blood and qi stagnation..."
After rambling on and on, the gist of it was that Consort Li was feeling depressed and ill, and needed treatment.
This illness, well, it has two manifestations. One is that one broods over their anger and eventually dies from it. The other is that one transforms their anger into resentment and takes it out on those around them. So, they take their anger out on certain people, are unpredictable, and cannot control their emotions.
Upon hearing this, Consort Li was terrified: "Is my illness serious?"
The physician from the Su family said, "It can be cured, but the patient needs careful care, should keep a cheerful mood, avoid getting angry, and we do not recommend raising children, otherwise it will harm the child."
Consort Li was stunned. Sometimes she really couldn't control her temper and would lose her temper with Hongyun and the eldest princess. Sometimes when Hongshi cried and made a fuss, she would also scold him severely.
Is it because she is sick?
Yinzhen: "I will have Lady Geng move to Shangchun Courtyard. You will be allowed to see Hongshi once every few days. As for Hongyun and the eldest princess, I will take them to the front courtyard for upbringing and let them come back to see you once every few days."
Shangchun Courtyard is conveniently located behind the courtyard where Consort Li lives.
Consort Li had no objections; she wasn't completely "stupid" after all. The physician from the Su family wouldn't make things up about her condition, and she was indeed having some difficulty controlling her emotions.
"I will obey whatever you say, my lord."
Yinzhen waved his hand again: "You all go out. I have something to say to my concubine."
Su Peisheng led everyone out, and with no one to serve her in the room, Consort Li became a little nervous, feeling that something bad was about to happen. So she took the initiative to ask, "What does Your Highness want to say to me?"
"I don't come here because you're old and unattractive. Stop putting all that dubious stuff on your face."
Consort Li's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of ferocity: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"You know why Honghui didn't get it, right? Also, don't send anyone to inquire about the affairs of Shaoguang Academy."
Consort Li suddenly lost her spirit, and she no longer had the courage to ask any questions.
Yinzhen continued, "With the eldest princess, Hongyun, and Hongshi here, I will not mistreat you in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. However, you should also understand that some things have consequences. I haven't made you pay with your life because you are not the mastermind and you have several children. If you continue to be unruly, I don't mind changing the imperial genealogy of the children you have given birth to."
Consort Li finally understood why she had suddenly fallen out of favor. Thinking of Honghui, she realized that she indeed had no power to harm him, but she had certainly been a driving force behind it: "But since you harmed Hongfen, is it wrong for me to retaliate?"
"Hongfen's untimely death has nothing to do with the Fujin (principal wife). The master has investigated this several times." However, the Fujin simply ignored it.
"I consulted the royal physician, and he said that Hongfen was born weak and was not meant to grow up. You got pregnant with Hongfen before you had fully recovered after giving birth to the eldest princess. I didn't let anyone tell you."
Who knew that keeping it from her would lead her to mistakenly believe that the Fujin had harmed Hongfen, and then Consort Li became the instigator of the murder of Honghui. In her previous life, the Fujin found out the cause of Honghui's death and that she had also been involved in Hongyun's death. Of course, the Fujin was not the mastermind.
In short, this relationship is complicated and difficult to unravel.
Later, he found out that Consort Li had fallen out of favor and lost his trust and respect.
As for the murderer who harmed his child, he would naturally not let him go.
"Take good care of yourself, I'll take Hongshi away."
After saying that, Yinzhen left directly and took Hongshi to Geng Gege's place.
Neither Geng Gege nor Niohuru Shi enjoyed the emperor's favor. They entered the mansion in the same year, lived in the same courtyard, and had similar circumstances. They seemed to have a good relationship.
Upon seeing Yinzhen, Geng Gege was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Get up!"
Geng Gege stood up, puzzled, and then saw that Hongshi was also there, along with a group of people serving him.
"Bring Hongshi here."
Hongshi was brought to Geng Gege, and Yinzhen then explained his purpose: "Consort Li is ill, and Hongshi cannot be separated from her. In a couple of days, you can take Hongshi to Shangchun Courtyard to live. After that, you can take Hongshi to visit Consort Li every few days."
Geng Gege already understood that her chances of being favored were slim. Her family was not powerful, her appearance was not outstanding, and she didn't have much talent. It would be good to get a child for free, but she didn't quite understand why.
"Sir, you want me to support Hongshi, but I'm afraid my qualifications aren't convincing enough?"
Putting aside other things, Song Gege gave birth to two daughters, although they didn't survive. However, she was from the same era as Consort Li and was among the first generation of elders in the inner quarters.
There was also a princess named Niohuru, who was from a prominent Manchu family and had a better family background than her.
“Ms. Song is in poor health, and Hongshi is too noisy.”
"And what about Sister Niohuru?"
When Yinzhen thought of Niohuru and Hongli's extravagant lifestyle, he really didn't want her to raise children.
"I hope that the people who raised Hongshi will behave themselves."
Does this mean that the master thinks Princess Niohuru is restless and unruly?
Geng Gege felt that this could be interpreted in this way. She was quite intelligent and immediately understood that the purpose of moving the courtyard was twofold: firstly, to make it easier for Hongshi to see his mother, and secondly, probably to stay away from Niohuru Gege.
"I understand. The child is shy. I will take good care of the Third Prince at Shangchun Courtyard."
Yinzhen nodded, expressing his satisfaction with her insightful observation.
As for Princess Niohuru, Princess Geng said, "They're not blood sisters, how could she be as important as my brother?"
"I'm entrusting Master Hongshi to you. Call the royal physician anytime you need him."
"Yes, sir."
After leaving Lady Geng's place, Yinzhen went to the main courtyard.
Aside from the Shaoguang Courtyard, where information was scarce, there was nothing in the inner courtyard that Ulanara was unaware of.
