Mu Sili looked at the sky and found it was quite bright, which meant that Yinzhen was indeed daydreaming. This made her feel relieved.
"Master, you should be content. Daydreaming is unrealistic. You were granted the title of a prince at the age of less than 20. This is an achievement that many people cannot achieve. You are acting like this now, which makes me feel like I deserve a beating."
"I was just imagining that after this incident, the Crown Prince will be more cautious. But I can see that he is truly ruthless. Do you think the Emperor will be on guard against him?"
"Of course he would. He could be so cruel as to kill the child he had been waiting for so long. Who knows, if the emperor gets in his way one day, he would also kill the emperor himself.
My lord, you'd better have someone be on guard. I don't think the prince will sit still and wait for death. He killed me and my child just for a matter of losing face. I'm worried that he will attack you.
And the Emperor, I often spend time with him, so I'll also remind Eunuch Liang that he has a good relationship with us, and we should return the favor."
"Master knows, don't worry, you are already five months pregnant, so you have to be careful.
The prince is acting more and more erratically now. If there is nothing important, he should not go out. There is no rush to leave the palace.
The Crown Prince doesn't dare to do anything too extreme in the palace, so it's relatively safe. We can leave the palace in two years. The Emperor can afford to support us anyway."
The corners of Mu Sili's mouth couldn't help twitching. It was said that Yinzhi was both civil and military, and he thought he was more of a calculating shrew.
I wonder if Kangxi would still think that Yinzhi was his good son when he knew that the good son in his heart was plotting against him to support his family.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go take care of it first. If Fu Jin is feeling bored, why don't you go sit in my mother's palace?"
"Master, just go about your business. Don't worry about me. If you're really bored, I'll find a way to relieve it."
"That's good. If anything happens, remember to inform me. No matter how busy I am, your matter is the most important."
"I understand."
After Yinzhi left, Mu Sili asked someone to take the cakes that had been prepared earlier to the Imperial Garden.
"Fujin, look quickly, that person rushing over there is the Fourth Prince?"
Mu Sili looked up and saw that it was indeed him. What happened that made him rush over here in such a hurry?
Suddenly, Mu Sili remembered that when she went to the Yanx Palace to pay her respects to Concubine Hui two days ago, she heard her mention that the Imperial Noble Concubine was not feeling well. She had forgotten that the Imperial Noble Concubine's time had come.
"Sister-in-law?"
"Fourth brother, are you going back to Chengqian Palace to see the Empress Dowager? You'd better go quickly and don't delay."
"Yes, then my brother will go first."
Yinzhen's figure disappeared in the imperial garden, and Mu Sili was ready to leave.
"Are you going back right after Fu Jin arrived?"
"Since Fourth Brother is so worried, I'm afraid something must have happened to the Empress Dowager. If I continue to hang around here, people will inevitably gossip about me. It's better to go back first and come out after I'm sure everything is fine."
"It is my fault for not being considerate. Please forgive me, Madam."
"It's okay, go back."
As soon as Mu Sili returned to the prince's residence, Yinzhi came back, with a look of confusion and disbelief on his face.
"What's wrong with you, sir? Why do you look like that? What happened?"
Yinzhi dismissed all the servants, leaving only him and Mu Sili, and then he spoke slowly.
"Fujin, I was originally planning to leave the palace, but Liang Anda sent someone to inform me that I couldn't leave the palace. He said that the Empress Dowager had been poisoned and was afraid that she would not survive. If I leave the palace now, I'm afraid I'll be plotted against.
As you know, the Empress Dowager is a very kind person. She brought up my fourth brother well. All of my younger brothers, including the crown prince, were raised by her for a period of time.
I really can't figure out who poisoned her. They wanted to kill her."
"Don't worry, sir. Let's go to Chengqian Palace and wait. The Emperor and Mother will be here soon. We'll know then.
Your random guesses will only disturb your own mind and give the person behind the scenes an opportunity to frame you."
"Yes, that's right. Fujin, hurry up and pack up. We'll be there soon."
Yinzhi pulled Mu Sili and wanted to walk out, but stopped halfway.
"I'm really possessed. You're pregnant now, how could I let you go to Chengqian Palace? If I let you have a miscarriage and hurt the baby in your belly, I'd be in big trouble.
I'll go by myself, you just wait here for news. The Empress Dowager hasn't passed away yet, so I'll go see if the Emperor has found the person behind this. I'll then deal with him properly."
"No, since I know about this, I have to go. Moreover, I met Fourth Brother before, and he looked so anxious. As the eldest sister-in-law, I am very worried.
The most important thing is that my ninth and tenth brothers also have to go there. They are my favorite brothers-in-law, and we can’t let anything go wrong in Chengqian Palace.”
Yinzhi looked at Mu Sili speechlessly. He thought she had to go to Chengqian Palace just for his sake, but it turned out that she wanted to protect Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi.
"My Lord, something bad has happened. The Imperial Noble Consort of Chengqian Palace has passed away. Please hurry over."
Yu Laiyin's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Yinzhi didn't care about Mu Sili's body anymore. He hugged her and ran towards Chengqian Palace.
Mu Sili's expression was wooden all the way. If I was not mistaken, the expressions of those who saw Yinzhi running with her in his arms must have been frozen. Now, she was completely embarrassed.
"Fujin, we're here, let's go in quickly."
"good."
As soon as she entered, she heard Yinzhen's heartbroken voice, as well as the voices of Yin'er and Yin? whispering beside her. She knew she had to come this time.
"Ninth and tenth brothers, what are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law?"
"Why is my sister-in-law here? My brother is such a fool! He could have come to see the Empress Dowager's passing, but why did he bring you here? You're pregnant, how could you show up at such an event? My brother is really going backwards as he gets older."
The prince suddenly interrupted Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen very dissatisfied.
"Second brother, my eldest sister-in-law is here to see my younger and tenth brothers. As the crown prince, you should go and help manage the situation. This will also be helpful when the emperor comes, right?"
The prince nodded and left. Now that the imperial concubine was gone, he wanted to see if the four concubines could fight each other. If they could, his position as the prince would be secure.
"As the eldest wife, my sister-in-law naturally had to attend such a major event as the Empress Dowager's passing. Don't worry, the baby in my belly is very healthy, and two days of tossing and turning will not be a problem."
"That's what I mean, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Sister-in-law, it's better to be cautious."
"Sister-in-law knows. If I really feel uncomfortable later, I will go back."
When Kangxi came, his face was gloomy. After looking at the people present, he asked someone to send Mu Sili back. She was pregnant now, and the yin energy here was too strong, so it was not suitable for her to stay here for a long time.
