The Nine Provinces are at peace.
Yongzheng put down his pen and said, "Is that what the Seventh Prince said?"
Shadow bowed his head and said, "Yes, my lord."
Yongzheng nodded in satisfaction. The seventh prince, Hongzhao, was alright, but the eighth prince, Hongxu, and the ninth prince, Hongxuan, really needed to be pushed a bit.
After a long pause, Yongzheng solemnly said, "You must protect the three princes well and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."
"Yes, my lord."
...
Pure, unique, and beautiful.
Ituma Shushu was just about to rest under the care of Xia Ju and Dong Mei, and she was lying on the bed.
Suddenly, "Dawn Mall" opened automatically, and at the same time, a large red light lit up in the upper right corner of the virtual transparent panel, flashing continuously.
Ituma Shushu was overjoyed. After a year, she finally witnessed the change in the dragon aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
At this moment, information about Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan involuntarily surfaced in Ituma Shushu's mind:
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 2 years and 4 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
[Note: The lifeline has changed, this method of extending lifespan is no longer valid]
She sighed, thinking to herself: How could she not be anxious, worried, and sleepless at night?
Then, Ituma Shushu snapped out of her thoughts and immediately used her mind to form a small hand, which pressed on the flashing red headlight. The red headlight then disappeared.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:
Aisin-Gioro Hongzhao
[Dragon Aura: ***] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑] [↑]
[Note: Having consumed the Emperor Stone, one must become the next emperor; otherwise, the moment another emperor ascends the throne will be the moment of one's demise.]
After counting several times, Ituma Shushu finally confirmed that there were five arrows this time, which meant that the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's dragon energy had increased even more than last time.
Why is that? Could it be a chain reaction from when I revealed my so-called unorthodox talent to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan?
When Ituma Shushu thought about how Emperor Yongzheng had used her to ask the head of the Imperial Medical Academy to take her pulse, she suddenly remembered that she had been recuperating in Chunqi Xiuse.
I know my own body best. I took a total of five fertility pills and gave birth three times. My body is really great.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time he had dealt with Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, or Physician Wang, who had taken his pulse before.
Judging from the expressions on their faces after they took my pulse, I could tell that my body was really fine.
However, given Emperor Yongzheng's unpredictable imperial mind, he wouldn't have allowed his healthy Consort Shu to recuperate without a purpose.
I just don't know what he's up to. Hmm, what does he want to achieve by taking advantage of his time to recuperate?
However, judging from the appearance of these five arrows on the dragon aura change interface of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, what Emperor Yongzheng is doing now is definitely beneficial to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
Otherwise, the dragon aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao would not have increased so much for no reason.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Ituma Shushu felt that this matter should be related to Consort Yun.
She guessed that Consort Yun must have already started taking action, because even if she was extremely careful, a year should be the limit.
With that in mind, Ituma Shushu decided to take another look at her debt situation.
Then, she used her mind to form a small hand and pressed the light blue button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
Then, on the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall," it was displayed that:
Ituma Shushu
[Vitality Points: -]
Lifespan: 5 years and 1 month
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
Ituma Shushu sighed as she looked at the information on the panel, and then she closed the "Dawn Shop".
...
The Imperial Household Department.
On this day, the seven departments and three offices of the Imperial Household Department were as busy as usual.
The so-called Seven Offices and Three Institutes refer to the seven offices: Guangchu Office, Duyu Office, Zhangyi Office, Kuaiji Office, Yingzao Office, Shenxing Office, and Qingfeng Office; and the three institutes: Shangsi Institute, Wubei Institute, and Fengchen Institute.
The seven departments were respectively in charge of the royal family's finances, treasury, escorts, hunting, etiquette, royal estates, engineering projects, punishments, and animal husbandry.
The Imperial Stables were in charge of the imperial horses, the Military Equipment Bureau was responsible for manufacturing and storing parasols, saddles, armor, swords, spears, bows and arrows, and the Imperial Palace was in charge of the management and maintenance of the various gardens and parks.
Suddenly, squads of guards surrounded the Imperial Household Department, and the entire department instantly became noisy.
At this moment, one of the leading guards shouted loudly, "Don't move! We are acting on the Emperor's orders."
...
The wind is gentle and the moon is bright.
Little Li rushed in, and as soon as he saw Eunuch Fu, he shouted, "Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu, something terrible has happened!"
Eunuch Fu frowned and shouted, "Little Li, what's wrong?"
"Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu, the Emperor has sent men to surround the Imperial Household Department and arrested many people."
Little Li quickly whispered.
Eunuch Fu's expression changed drastically. "When did this happen?"
Little Li quickly lowered his voice and said, "I don't know the specifics. His Majesty acted suddenly this time, without leaking any information."
By the time we received the message, the matter was already settled, and everyone had been arrested.
Eunuch Fu instructed Xiao Li, "Come in with me and report to Her Majesty the Empress."
After hearing Xiao Li's report, the Empress was so shocked that she stood up abruptly. After a long while, she waved her hand to signal Eunuch Fu and Xiao Li to leave.
Grandpa Fu and Little Li didn't dare to say anything more and quietly withdrew.
The Empress stood there for quite a while without moving.
Granny Chun couldn't help but call out softly, "Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Empress."
The Empress regained her senses and said to the worried-looking Granny Chun, "Granny, don't worry, I'm fine, I was just too shocked."
Granny Chun quickly helped the Empress sit down and whispered, "Your Majesty, please sit down first. This servant will make you a cup of tea."
The Empress nodded.
Next, the Empress gently picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then another small sip...
After a long while, the Empress sighed softly and muttered to herself, "I wonder what happened to make the Emperor go to such lengths?"
While helping the Empress relax her shoulders, Granny Chun whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is angry this time, isn't he?"
The Empress nodded and said softly, "It should be so. Moreover, His Majesty must have been making arrangements for some time in advance. The affairs of the Imperial Household Department are quite complicated!"
In the palace of Consort Qi.
Lin Mama's face was a little pale. She whispered, "Your Highness, this matter is a bit frightening!"
At this moment, Consort Qi's expression was also not good, and she nodded.
