After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

After listening to Jianqiu's words, the queen felt that there was some truth in them.

After all, it was a well-known fact in the harem that the emperor favored Concubine Hua, and as the queen, she could not change anything.

Fortunately, the mother and son finally disappeared from the palace.

Is she afraid that there will be no place for her in the future?

Thinking of this, the queen finally calmed down.

"You are right. As the queen, I really shouldn't bother with the dead."

Jianqiu was very happy when she finally felt relieved when she saw the queen.

"Your Majesty, the most difficult person to deal with right now is Concubine Xi. Also, it's time to show some respect to the Third Prince."

Jianqiu's words directly awakened the queen.

The emperor is over 45 years old this year.

Since the death of Concubine Hua, the emperor's aging speed has been visible to the naked eye.

Now with the death of the eighth prince, he is even more devastated.

It was even said in the court that the death of the eighth prince was still so painful that they could not get over it.

So, the queen should indeed make some preparations.

"I have to go check on Third Prince's homework."

----

After the eighth prince died, the emperor would hold his clothes and talk to him for a while after reviewing the memorials every night.

"Shilan, I have brought this upon myself... When I used the Huan Yi Xiang to harm you, I also harmed our child."

"God, you never stop punishing me!"

"My original intention was to hand over the Qing dynasty to our son."

"now........"

From the huge Yangxin Palace, there were bursts of suppressed sobbing sounds.

Su Peisheng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor.

After a while, Xia Jie came to report.

The emperor wiped his face in the dark and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Xia Qian heard something wrong in the emperor's voice.

But he still replied with a normal expression.

"Your Majesty, Wen Shichu has left Hebei and suddenly lost his whereabouts."

"How could this happen?" the emperor was furious.

Xia Qian quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"How could you lose a living person?"

"The people I sent out were ambushed."

"Ambush?" The emperor was still in grief, but when he heard Xia Qian's report, he stood up in shock.

Xia Qian looked up and said, "Yes, our people were ambushed. But the enemy didn't seem to want to kill us, they just knocked us out."

The emperor's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.

"Useless! A weak imperial physician can't even take care of the patient!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Xia Qian was so scared that he quickly lowered his head.

Su Peisheng looked at the time and it was already very late, so he reminded quietly: "Your Majesty, it's already very late, and you still have to attend the morning court tomorrow."

The emperor waved his hands angrily, "How can I sleep?"

Fuhui's body is missing!

At this moment, Xia Qie replied in a low voice,

"Your Majesty, this time our men have also obtained an important piece of information."

"What important news?"

"The Third Prince has close contacts with some officials in the court."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Letter as evidence."

Xia Qian handed the letter to Su Peisheng.

After Su Peisheng took the letter, he quickly handed it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor opened the letter and glanced at it roughly, and his back teeth almost broke.

"You are so impatient, you third brother!"

Su Peisheng raised his eyes quietly and saw that the emperor's face was ashen. He threw the envelope hard on the table.

"From today on, keep a close eye on the third brother Hongli."

Xia Qian kowtowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

----

"Son greets mother!"

Hongli respectfully bowed to Zhen Huan as a junior.

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Get up quickly."

Hongli smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

The mother and son sat opposite each other.

Zhen Huan asked Hongli how his health was recently and whether he had eaten and slept well.

Hongli couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"My son has heard my third brother complain several times, saying that every time the Empress Dowager sees him, she asks him about his studies. Why is it that whenever the Empress Dowager sees her son, she always asks about his health first, instead of asking about his studies?"

Zhen Huan said solemnly: "If Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu were still alive, she would also wish, like my mother, that you, Hongli, would be healthy and live a long life."

When Hua Fei was mentioned, sadness appeared on Hongli's face.

"Poor eighth brother, at such a young age..."

"So as the only child of Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu, you must live well. Mother, I only hope that you will live a peaceful and happy life."

"Yes, Mother."

Zhen Huan was very pleased to see that Hongli was well-behaved and sensible.

She thought of something and lowered her voice.

"You don't have to fight for some things. If you do your job well and have the ability, people will naturally notice you. Do you understand?"

Hongli raised his head, a look of doubt in his eyes.

Zhen Huan handed him a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian".

"Hone your skills well and wait for the right time. Mother will do her best to fight for you. And you, Hongli, must also do your part well."

Hongli finally understood and nodded heavily.

"Mother, don't worry."

-

As officials in the former court began to propose the appointment of a crown prince, the emperor no longer had much energy to investigate Wen Shichu's affairs.

Therefore, he could only call Prince Guo into the palace again.

At this time, Prince Guo was highly valued by the Emperor and was in charge of the Ministry of Works.

After Concubine Hua's death, he traveled around the country, supervising civil engineering, water conservancy engineering, machinery manufacturing, textile and other matters.

He also married Meng Dase's daughter, Meng, as his principal wife by imperial order.

After they got married, they had a son and a daughter, but both died young.

Prince Guo did not marry another concubine, but instead devoted all his attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

The emperor valued him more and more.

"Old Seventeen, I haven't seen you for many years. Why do you look so haggard and thinner?"

Prince Guo smiled, but his smile was no longer as bright as before, and there was more gloom between his brows.

"Your younger brother is not young anymore."

The emperor also laughed, "Indeed, we are all old."

The emperor is more than ten years older than Prince Guo, so he feels even older.

After a brief reminisce about the past, the two brothers got down to business.

"I saw Fuhui's whole body turned cold, and the imperial physician said he was beyond saving, but I still refused to give up. Because... he was the only child left to me by Concubine Hua, and I couldn't bear to let him go."

"So, I listened to Wen Shichu and handed Fuhui over to him?"

After hearing the emperor's statement, Prince Guo was truly shocked.

In his impression, this fourth brother has always been cold-hearted and does things very calmly and rationally.

How come you have committed such a stupid thing now?

The emperor seemed to see through his thoughts and was not angry.

"My mind is confused and my mind is confused. Now I regret it. Fuhui is dead and he should be buried in peace. I..."

Prince Guo sighed, "It's human nature. My brother is also a father."

The emperor looked at Prince Guo's weathered features and knew that he had suffered the pain of losing his son, so he sighed.

"As a father, I hope that Fuhui can rest in peace. Old Seventeen, please help me with this matter. I don't trust anyone else."
