Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain Pavilion.
That day, after finishing her lunch, Ituma Shushu quietly instructed, "Dongmei, I'm going to rest here for a bit. You can wait here."
"Yes, my lady," Dongmei replied with a bow.
Afterwards, Ituma Shushu sat on the couch and closed her eyes to rest.
In fact, she had already opened "Dawn Mall".
Ituma Shushu looked at the locator in the small compartment with a pained expression. She had been using the locator every day recently, and "Dawn Mall" felt no guilt about deducting her life points.
Fortunately, the original owner had met Emperor Yongzheng once when she participated in the imperial concubine selection; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to use the positioning device, which would have been even worse.
Ituma Shushu used her mind to create a small hand, opened the small compartment containing the locator, and placed the image of Emperor Yongzheng from her memory into the locator.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:
[Ding! Target location as shown in the image: ◎]
[Ding! 5 Life Points Collected This Time]
Ah, Yongzheng's current location is the "Hall of Diligent Governance".
Ituma Shushu stopped thinking about it and then 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".
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
Ituma Shushu
[Vital Energy: 879]
Lifespan: 1 year
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
【Additional Information】
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 2 years and 6 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Ituma Shushu sighed. In the past six months, Yongzheng had rarely stepped into the inner palace, and had never even once come to the place near Chunfeng Qiuyu Pavilion that she could set foot in.
For the past month, Yongzheng had been either in the "Hall of Diligent Governance," the "Hall of Righteousness and Brightness," or the "Hall of Tranquil Peace and Tranquility," and she had not seen him step into the inner palace.
(Note: According to bd, the Yuanmingyuan, like the Imperial Palace, was divided into two main parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Court. The Outer Court was located in the southern part of the garden, with the main palace gate in front, and the left and right court offices in front of the gate. Behind it, to the east were the Imperial Clan Court, the Grand Secretariat, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Censorate, etc., and to the west were the Imperial Household Department, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, and the Imperial Observatory, etc. Inside the main palace gate was the Xianliang Gate, also known as the Second Palace Gate.)
Inside the gate, in the center, is the "Hall of Righteousness and Brightness," where Emperor Yongzheng held court and conducted state affairs. To its east is the "Hall of Diligent Governance and Kindness to the Virtuous," also known as the "Hall of Diligent Governance."
Jiuzhou Qingyan is a complex of buildings, the main structures being the "Yuanmingyuan Hall," the "Fengsan Wusi Hall," and the "Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall."
If things continue like this, Ituma Shushu is worried that she won't live past Emperor Yongzheng, because the locator is collecting a lot of life force.
She thought to herself: I'll just have to take it one step at a time! I'll need the locator no matter what, and I'll do my best to collect as much life force as possible.
Just as she was gritting her teeth and persevering, she finally discovered that Yongzheng had gone to that small courtyard in the northwest corner of the area.
Ituma Shushu had previously taken a stroll near this small courtyard in the northwest corner.
Hard work pays off! She was so excited she almost cried tears of joy.
Ituma Shushu plans to start squatting near the small courtyard in the northwest corner starting tomorrow; this place can also serve as her new check-in spot.
And so she began her routine of checking in near the small courtyard in the northwest corner.
Ituma Shushu used the locator to discover that Yongzheng did not come on the first day she arrived, nor on the second or third day, but has been coming ever since the fourth day.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she hadn't planned to run into Yongzheng and had arrived well in advance of him.
Today is also the last day she plans to come here; she doesn't plan to come tomorrow.
Too much of a good thing can be bad; Emperor Yongzheng was extremely suspicious.
"Dongmei, set out the meal. I will dine here," Ituma Shushu instructed Dongmei after sitting down.
This is what Ituma Shushu instructed Dongmei to prepare yesterday, as she planned to dine in this small pavilion.
"Su Peisheng, which palace officials have you encountered here these past few days?" Yongzheng asked as he walked.
Su Peisheng knew that his master might ask about the concubine since he hadn't dismissed her in the past few days.
She replied without hesitation, “Your Majesty, it is Consort Shu from the Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain Pavilion. She entered the palace three years ago, but fell ill and has not had the opportunity to see Your Majesty since.”
Emperor Yongzheng grunted in response and gave no further instructions.
The next day, Yongzheng discovered that Ituma Shushu had not come.
On the third day, Yongzheng still did not see Ituma Shushu.
...
That evening, after reviewing the memorials, Yongzheng gestured and ordered, "Investigate what's going on with this Consort Shu."
If Ituma Shushu knew, she would definitely be worried sick.
In fact, Ituma Shushu always remembered that Yongzheng had established the Sticky Rod Office and the Blood Droplets, so even though she was anxious to collect life points by signing in, she kept her patience and planned step by step.
It can be said that Emperor Yongzheng had the strongest desire for control among all the Qing emperors. The later his reign went, the stronger his control over the entire harem became.
After reviewing the memorials that day, Emperor Yongzheng recalled the information he had sent to investigate about Consort Shu that night.
Emperor Yongzheng was particularly impressed by the fact that Ituma Shushu had one older brother and four younger brothers, all of whom were born of the same mother.
So Yongzheng ordered in a deep voice, "Su Peisheng, send a royal physician to take Consort Shu's pulse."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng replied immediately.
That day, Ituma Shushu had just finished her afternoon nap when Xia Ju told her that Physician Wang had come to check her pulse.
