The concubine's miscarriage due to a sudden fall from her horse seems to involve many people, including Princess Rongxian.
Yinzhi's expression was very unpleasant. He sensed a conspiracy, but Shumulu was too stupid. She was provoked a few times and fell into the trap.
"Liu Bajin, go and investigate to see if there's anything unusual about the horses at the horse farm. Also, question everyone present. I'll personally go to your fourth uncle's place to ask him."
"Pass down the order: all the maids who are serving the Consort today shall be flogged 20 times and fined half a month's wages. Those who are not serving shall also be fined half a month's wages. Go and carry out the order after the questioning is over."
After saying that, Yinzhi left without looking back.
In truth, although Yinzhi resented Shumulu for being foolish and impatient, he also knew that Shumulu was still young and lacked composure, and it was understandable that she could be easily provoked.
Therefore, although Yinzhi appeared impatient with Shumulu, he actually harbored more resentment towards Consort Li, the Fourth Prince's concubine.
Just then, the couple encountered Princess Rongxian and her two sisters-in-law at the door. The two little girls were as obedient as quails behind the princess.
There's no trace of how he angrily cursed and whipped the concubine to save her.
"Big brother," the princess said with a proper bow.
"Princess, please rise quickly," He Zhuo hurriedly helped her up. Princess Rongxian and Prince Yinzhi were not much different in rank.
"My sister has come to apologize. I am truly sorry for what happened today. These are my apologies. I wonder how Consort Shu is doing now?"
Yinzhi didn't interact much with this younger sister. She was the third prince's older sister and the eldest daughter of Emperor Kangxi, and could be considered Kangxi's darling.
"This matter is not the fault of Third Sister. Consort Shu has already miscarried, so it is inconvenient for Third Sister to visit her. I will convey your message. I will accept this apology."
“That’s really…” Princess Rongxian, who grew up in the palace, also felt that this matter was unusual and did not want to get involved.
However, her sister-in-law had indeed provoked the other woman. Fortunately, it was her sister-in-law who later saved her brother's concubine. If Shumulu hadn't been in any trouble, it would have been a clean break. She just hoped that her brother wouldn't hold a grudge against her.
Hearing that Consort Shumulu had miscarried, she felt uneasy. As a princess, she didn't want to get involved in her brother's affairs or the disputes between the princes. Now that Consort Shu had miscarried, she was truly in deep trouble. Besides, her original plans were likely to fall through.
"These are my two younger sisters. They originally came to apologize, but it's inconvenient for them to go in now. Come, you two greet Prince Zhi and apologize to him and his wife."
He Zhuo then saw two shy and bashful young girls gracefully step forward to greet him.
One of the young girls looked at Yinzhi with a gleam in her eyes; it was clear she had taken a liking to him.
Yinzhi was impatient with dealing with this situation and was eager to verify the facts, so he said goodbye and left.
The young girl stared intently at Yinzhi's back, unable to look away. Princess Rongxian coughed and snapped out of her daze, her gaze darting around, not daring to look at Hezhuo, the eldest princess consort.
He Zhuo looked at Princess Rongxian with a half-smile: "Princess, I am too busy to entertain you today. Please forgive my rudeness. I will invite you to have tea another day."
You're a princess, just be a princess and that's all. What are you doing here?
Are you here to act as a pimp?
Khoja's impression of Princess Rongxian plummeted to its lowest point.
Princess Rongxian looked at her sister-in-law with a hint of unease and guilt. Although she knew her sister had feelings for her brother, she hadn't expected her to be so open. She figured her sister-in-law would definitely hold a grudge against her.
