Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Yongqi fell into deep thought when he learned that Zhihua's family had helped secretly investigate and found out that the concubine not only had an unusual relationship with the man, but also engaged in corruption and bribery.

Yongqi said to Erkang, "Erkang, what should we do? This is a very serious matter!"

Erkang responded: "Yongqi, we must handle this carefully. After all, this involves royal scandals and corruption. If we are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xiaoyanzi said angrily, "Humph! That concubine is too much! She actually did such a thing!"

Ziwei also said: "Yes, we must find a way to expose their crimes."

Yongqi frowned and said, "But how can we expose their crimes without causing too much unrest?"

Erkang thought for a moment and said, "We can collect more evidence first, and then find a suitable time to report to the emperor."

Zhihua came over with a bulging belly and said, "Fifth Prince, you must be careful about this matter! I'm worried that it will affect our child."

Yongqi looked at Zhihua tenderly and said, "Zhihua, don't worry, I will protect you."

Seeing Yongqi's concern for Zhihua, Xiaoyanzi felt a little uncomfortable, but still said, "Yongqi, we can't let that concubine get away with it!"

Yong Qi nodded and said, "I know, Xiaoyanzi. But we also have to consider the overall situation."

They began to discuss a specific action plan.

Erkang said: "We can continue to send people to monitor the concubine and the man to see if they have any other actions."

Yongqi said, "Okay, let's do this. At the same time, we must also protect Zhihua and the baby in her belly."

Xiaoyanzi said: "Humph! I will protect Zhihua!"

Zhihua looked at Xiaoyanzi gratefully and said, "Princess Huanzhu, thank you."

In the following days, they conducted their investigation more carefully, and the person in charge of surveillance kept reporting to them every move of the concubine and the man.

Yongqi looked at the intelligence that kept coming in, and his heart became heavier. He knew that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Yongqi said to Erkang: "Erkang, we can't wait any longer. Although the evidence is not sufficient, it is enough to attract the attention of the emperor."

Erkang nodded and said, "Yongqi, you are right. But we have to think about how to report to the emperor so that he can believe our words."

Yongqi pondered for a moment and said, "We can first find some reliable ministers and ask them to speak for us in front of the emperor. Then, we can present the evidence, and the emperor may be more likely to believe us."

They started to take action and looked for reliable ministers. After some effort, they finally found several ministers who were willing to help.

Yongqi brought these ministers and evidence to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Father, I have something important to report."

The emperor looked at Yongqi and said, "Yongqi, why are you so flustered?"

Yongqi presented the evidence and said, "Father, I discovered that a concubine had an improper relationship with a man, and they also took bribes. These ministers can testify for me."

Several ministers also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, what Prince Rong said is true. This matter is of great importance, please Your Majesty look into it."

After hearing this, the emperor was furious and said, "What! There is such a thing!"

The emperor immediately ordered an investigation into the matter. After some investigation, the crimes of the concubine and the man were revealed one by one.

The emperor highly appreciated the behavior of Yongqi and others.

The emperor said, "Yongqi, you have done a great job. You are worthy of being my son! And Erkang, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and Zhihua, you have also contributed to this matter. I will reward you handsomely."

Yongqi said modestly: "I just did what I should do. It is my honor to share the worries of the emperor."

Xiaoyanzi said: "Father Emperor, we don't want any reward, as long as we can do something for the people."

The emperor smiled and said, "Good! You are all my good children. Although this matter has been resolved, we cannot take it lightly. We must be more vigilant in the future to prevent similar things from happening again."

As the concubine and the man were brought to justice, the atmosphere in the palace became tense. Everyone was wondering how the emperor would deal with the aftermath of this incident.

Yongqi and others were also thinking about what to do next. They knew that although they had successfully exposed the crimes of the concubine and the man, this was only the beginning. There were still many potential problems in the palace that they needed to discover and solve.

Zhihua said to Yongqi worriedly, "Fifth Prince, will this incident cause us any trouble? I'm really worried about our child."

Yongqi comforted her, "Zhihua, don't worry. I will protect you. We did the right thing in this matter, and the Emperor will understand us."

Xiaoyanzi said from the side: "Zhihua, don't worry. We will face it together, and nothing will happen."

Ziwei also said: "Yes, Zhihua. We must believe in Yongqi and also believe in the Emperor."

They began to discuss how to further rectify the atmosphere in the palace and prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Erkang said: "We can suggest that the emperor strengthen the management of the harem and formulate stricter rules."

Yongqi said: "This is a good idea. We can also propose that the emperor strengthen supervision over officials to prevent corruption and bribery."

They presented these suggestions to the emperor, who, after careful consideration, decided to adopt their suggestions.

The emperor said: "Yongqi, Erkang, your suggestions are very good. I will order the strengthening of the management of the harem and officials. You must continue to share my worries and work for the welfare of the people."

Yongqi and others took the order and began to actively participate in the rectification of the palace.

Their story continues, and the future is full of hope...
