"Why bring it up now of all times? Could it be that you, Mother, also believe Yu Ying's words and think that Yan Yan is the one who brought bad luck to Bao'er?"
“Bao’er is gone, and there’s no point in pursuing it further. But the Princess’s legitimate son is still in the mansion. It’s better to believe it’s true than not to believe it. These two children must be separated. You probably wouldn’t feel at ease sending Yan Yan to another residence, so sending him to the palace is the best option. No one in the palace will harm him; they will only love and pamper him. You can rest assured.”
Consort Xi did not respond directly, but her statement that the two children must be kept separate implicitly confirmed Hongli's suspicions.
It really was Yu Ying's idea!
Seeing her son's indignant expression, Consort Xi spoke righteously and eloquently, spouting countless profound principles, just like Emperor Yongzheng, using palace rules to suppress him.
Hongli used to be proud of being born into the royal family, but now he hates the royal family's inhumane rules. However, once caught in the net, who can escape the cage of these palace rules?

At this moment, Hongli was furious, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Yuying with a sinister expression. Seeing this, Yuying, whose face was full of sorrow, stood up and said in a hoarse voice:
"What's wrong with Fourth Master? Why is he getting angry with the servants for no reason?"
Hongli walked towards her step by step, his eyes burning red with rage. His fingers, which had been behind his back, slowly clenched into a fist, revealing his strong bones and unable to conceal his overwhelming fury.
"Let me ask you, did you complain to your mother that Yan Yan had cursed your child, and had someone take Yan Yan away?"
