Just as Yongzheng was about to reply, Su Peisheng came over and said, "Your Majesty, after multiple inspections, we have confirmed that the fire started from the Suiyuxuan bedroom."

Now there is evidence.

Yongzheng: "Suxi is Nian Shilan's person. When she was about to set the fire, she was discovered and controlled by my people. Concubine Rou, Concubine Shen, you two are in the bedroom. Can you give me an explanation?"

What else do you not understand now? It turns out that Concubine Rou and Guiren Shen are the ones who are crying "stop thief".

Concubine Qi showed contempt: "So it's you who are the ones crying thief." I thought they were so noble, but they actually used such despicable means to frame others in private.

Concubine Jing: "Lady Shen, you are so foolish. No matter how much you hate Nian Da Ying, you can't do such a foolish thing."

Concubine Jing never expected that a dignified and polite lady like Shen Meizhuang would burn herself to frame Nian Shilan in order to bring her down, and was even caught by the Emperor.

It was not until this moment that Zhen Huan and Shen Guiren truly showed fear on their faces.

Just when he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, Yixiu scolded him again.

"Princess Rou, Concubine Shen, you are too bold to commit murder and set fire in the palace. Do you know how difficult it is to control the fire once it starts? If there is a strong wind, the entire harem will suffer. Have you ever thought about how much damage this fire will cause to everyone, how much supplies will be burned, and how many people who put out the fire will be burned?"

Yixiu felt a little relieved only after she scolded Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu, and then she knelt down in front of the emperor to apologize.

"Your Majesty, it was my fault for not disciplining them properly. I almost let Concubine Rou and Concubine Shen cause a disaster under my control. I am willing to hand over the power to assist in managing the six palaces."

Concubine Jing also knelt on the ground and said: "I failed to manage the house properly. I admit my guilt. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"What does it have to do with you? Get up."

Yongzheng personally helped Yixiu up.

"You are weak, and this matter is already very stressful. How can you be blamed for what happened?"

If he had not cleaned up the harem and placed his spies in every palace, it is possible that Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu could have framed Shi Lan and punished him.

Zhen and Shen are really restless. They have been stirring up trouble in the palace since they entered it, especially Zhen Huan, who is not worthy of being the mistress of a palace.

"Since you two have such a close relationship, you will both live in Suiyu Pavilion from now on. Shen will be demoted to a concubine and moved to the west side hall of Suiyu Pavilion, while Zhen will be demoted to a noble lady and moved to the east side hall of Suiyu Pavilion."

After Yongzheng finished speaking, he took Yixiu's hand and left the Suiyuxuan courtyard.

If Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had not supported each other, they might have collapsed after hearing the emperor's instructions.

Nian Shilan used to be arrogant and domineering, and she offended many people in the harem. Since she was only a concubine, Yongzheng was worried that he could not protect her.

In order to prevent Nian Shilan from being killed by people in the harem, Yongzheng issued an edict to raise Nian Shilan's status back to concubine and move her back to the Yiku Palace.

The emperor did not rest in Chengqian Palace at night, but went to Concubine Qi's Chuxiu Palace.

Jian Qiu: "How could Concubine Rou and Concubine Shen be so good at making trouble? Wouldn't it be better for them to stay in the palace? They had to make trouble and angered the emperor, so they were demoted back to Concubine. They also caused trouble for the queen, and the emperor almost took away her power in the palace because of them."

Yixiu agreed and smiled softly, "Given how favored Noblewoman Yirou is and her fertility, if she works harder and gets pregnant again, she will easily get the position of Consort."

Then again, if Zhen Huan was content, would she still be the heroine? The heroine's life is full of ups and downs.

Nian Shilan lost the desire to compete for favor because her beloved brother was sentenced to death by her beloved emperor.

Yongzheng also had his concerns, whether Nian Shilan had already known Huan Yixiang's secret, and whether he would hurt himself in order to avenge his brother.

In the end, Yongzheng was wary of Nian Shilan because he valued his life. Since he moved Nian Shilan to the Yiku Palace, he never favored Nian Shilan once. He only treated Nian Shilan as a mascot to show his kindness to the outside world.

Yixiu also understood what Yongzheng meant, and she never skimped on Nian Shilan's food, clothing and other expenses. As a concubine, she asked people to give Nian Shilan everything she deserved, since it was not her money that was being spent anyway.

Time passed quickly. In just a few years, the Empress Dowager passed away, two of the Empress's legitimate daughters were married off to distant places, and Yongzheng had several more princesses.

Concubine An gave birth to the thirteenth princess.

Concubine Rou gave birth to twin princesses, the 14th and 15th.

Concubine Zhen gave birth to the sixteenth princess.

In consideration of the fact that An Lingrong had done a lot for her original self in her previous life, and that she had ruined the emperor's health with aphrodisiac in this life, and that she was relatively obedient, Yixiu forgave An Lingrong. Before her death in her previous life, she provided Zhen Huan with the clue that "the queen killed the queen", and rewarded her with a pill to conceive a girl.

Concubine Zhen was the sixteenth princess who was born through natural pregnancy.

Zhen Huan became pregnant naturally again and gave birth to twin princesses. After giving birth to the twin princesses, she was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine.

This time, the civet cat has nothing to do with Zhen Huan's twins.

A few years ago, Yongzheng gave Meng Jingxian to Prince Guo as his principal wife. In recent years, without the secret line left by Concubine Shu in the palace, Prince Guo was suspected by the emperor and became more cautious. He dared not walk around the palace as usual. Naturally, there was no spark of love between him and Zhen Huan. Without Huanbi to interfere, Prince Guo was instead controlled by Meng Jingxian.
