Moreover, if something happens to your Seventh Brother, well, matters in the backyard are no small matter.
So Ituma Shushu nodded seriously and said softly, "Hongxu and Hongxuan are right."
That's exactly what Mother meant. You princes absolutely must not interfere in your father's private affairs.
Then, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but glance at the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
She suppressed her heartache and said softly, "Alas, you have all grown up without realizing it. In a few years, your seventh brother will be getting married, and your mother will soon be a grandmother."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, was a little embarrassed. He asked, "Mother, weren't we talking about Consort Yun?"
Ituma Shushu sighed and said softly, "The matter of Consort Yun is a microcosm of what will happen in your inner court in the future."
It's perfectly normal for everyone in your backyard to have their own little schemes in the future.
Just like your mother told you before, conflicts arise when interests differ.
You cannot deceive yourselves into thinking that your backyard will be peaceful from now on.
You must remember that there are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people; it's just that everyone has a different perspective.
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan all seemed to be deep in thought.
...
The Nine Provinces are at peace.
"Oh, Consort Shu really said that?"
Yongzheng's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but authoritative without being angry.
“Yes, my lord,” Shadow replied.
Yongzheng pondered for a moment, then said gently, "I understand. You may leave."
"Yes, my lord."
The shadow flashed and then disappeared.
Yongzheng thought to himself: It seems that Consort Shu is quite intelligent. Hmm, she has not wasted her years of reading and practicing calligraphy.
...
Pure, unique, and beautiful.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu was in the small study with the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao, practicing calligraphy.
After a moment, she put down her brush and sat down on the soft couch next to her.
Without Ituma Shushu saying a word, Dongmei immediately served a cup of hot tea.
Then, Ituma Shushu waved her hand, indicating that Dongmei didn't need to wait there anymore.
Dongmei nodded, bowed, and then withdrew.
Next, Ituma Shushu gently picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, Ituma Shushu opened the "Dawn Mall".
Then, she immediately used her mind to create a small hand and pressed the light pink button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 1 year and 3 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
[Note: The lifeline has changed, this method of extending lifespan is no longer valid]
Looking at the information on the panel, Ituma Shushu was no longer as upset as before; well, one could say she was somewhat numb now.
Because Ituma Shushu has already adjusted her mindset and prepared for the worst, so that if things don't go well...
However, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but furrow her brows at this moment.
Although she had prepared for the worst, she never really intended to give up until the very last moment.
More than seven months have passed since the last time the Seventh Prince Hongzhao showed signs of dragon energy fluctuations, but "Chenxi Mall" has still not made any moves.
Is the impact of the "Potential Pill" already minimal?
Is it really going to take about a year before the dragon's energy changes again?
But Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan is now only 1 year and 3 months!
As the saying goes, speak of Cao Cao and he appears.
Suddenly, a large red light lit up in the upper right corner of the transparent panel of the "Dawn Mall" virtual panel, flashing intermittently.
Ituma Shushu looked at the red headlights in front of her, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. The dragon aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao was finally changing!
She silently encouraged herself: It's not the final moment yet!
Then, she immediately used her mind to form a small hand and pressed it on the flashing red headlight, after which the red headlight 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.]
Ituma Shushu was a little surprised to see three arrows on the panel. She remembered that there were two arrows last time, so she thought there would be only one arrow this time!
Then, Ituma Shushu fell into deep thought.
After the upgrade of "Dawn Mall", the dragon aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao changed for the first time, with four arrows appearing.
The second time, five arrows appeared; the third time, two arrows appeared; and this time, the fourth time, three arrows appeared.
The intervals also vary, ranging from six months to a year to seven months, indicating that the impact of the "Potential Pill" has not diminished.
It's just that after the "Potential Pill" takes effect, different events will produce different Dragon Qi values.
I wonder what happened this time?
...
The next day, Ituma Shushu found out what had happened.
"Hongzhao, you...you mean Consort Yun?"
Ituma Shushu was startled and asked uncertainly.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao whispered, "Yes, Mother, when I returned to the Prince's residence last night, Granny Gu and Granny Rong told me about this matter."
It is said that Consort Yun had only been feeling slightly unwell the previous month, but no one expected her to die so suddenly.
Eighth Prince Hongxu nodded and whispered, "Mother, Granny Dong and Granny Hua also told me about this last night."
Ninth Prince Hongxuan leaned closer and whispered, "Mother, Mother, Granny Quan and Granny Hong said that Consort Yun passed away yesterday morning, and she was perfectly fine when the palace maids helped her get up and wash in the morning."
When the palace maids who served her returned with breakfast, Consort Yun was leaning against the couch as usual.
After the palace maids called out several times, they realized that Consort Yun, who was leaning against the couch, was not right. In the end, they were so frightened that they scrambled to get help.
The Empress was shocked when she received the news, and she personally led the imperial physicians and others to the scene.
Later, the matter alarmed the Emperor, who sent people over.
However, it is said that the final diagnosis revealed that Consort Yun died from a sudden illness.
Ituma Shushu's heart was pounding. She had a feeling that Consort Yun's sudden death from an acute illness was related to Emperor Yongzheng.
She suppressed her panic and hesitated before asking, "Don't you think... did someone harm Consort Yun?"
