Chapter 158 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 10
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Yu Hu was reporting the results of the investigation to the emperor.

"You mean, the investigation finally led to Concubine Jia?"

The emperor's expression was mysterious and he turned to look at Yu Hu.

Yu Hu's face was also a little strange, and she replied, "Your Majesty, yes, I was originally investigating Su Lian who was beside the Empress, but unexpectedly discovered that Su Lian and Jiapin were secretly dating. Su Lian's mother had been relying on the finest ginseng from Yu given by Jiapin to nourish her body. Therefore, Su Lian had been secretly dating Jiapin without telling the Empress."

Emperor: "Does the matter between Concubine Yi and Concubine Mei have anything to do with Concubine Jia?"

Yu Hu lowered her head even more: "I have found out that the incident between Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi was indeed secretly done by Concubine Jia, but the culprits in public are Su Lian and Concubine Guifei who are by the Queen's side."

The emperor sneered and said, "That's great. There are all kinds of people in my harem. There's the Imperial Concubine in front and the Concubine Jia in the back. They are all very capable."

Yu Hu lowered his head, remained silent and did not dare to answer.

"Yu Hu, send someone to seal off Qixiang Palace, and take Li Xin and Zhen Shu, who are by Jiapin's side, to the Ministry of Punishment, and torture them severely to see what they can say."

"Yes."

After a while, Yu Hu led a large group of guards and walked towards Qixiang Palace in a menacing manner, attracting the attention of many people from various palaces along the way.

Qixiang Palace.

Ever since Hai Lan's incident, Jin Yuyan's heart has been beating fast.

She nervously held Zhenshu's hand, her palms were already full of sweat, and her beautiful face was full of panic, "Zhenshu, I always feel uneasy and flustered. The emperor will definitely investigate Sulian. Do you think he will find out something from Sulian?"

Zhenshu held Jin Yuyan's hand, looking calm, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, your majesty. Every time we do something, it is Su Lian and the Imperial Concubine who come forward. They won't find out anything. Even if they find out something, it is the Queen and the Imperial Concubine's business, and has nothing to do with us."

Jin Yuyan was still nervous, but after Zhenshu's comfort, she calmed down a lot.

"Yes, at worst, I still have a child in my belly. This is the first child after the emperor ascended the throne. He is a precious child, precious beyond words. This palace and the prince are counting on him."

"What are you doing? This is Qixiang Palace! If you alarm Concubine Jia, you'll be in danger of your life!"

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside. Li Xin's quarreling voice mixed with the guards' shouting came into the house together.

Jin Yuyan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and subconsciously pinched her palms. The pain made her react.

She stood up and took a few steps with Zhenshu's support when she saw several guards walking in in an orderly manner.

"What are you going to do? Don't you know that Concubine Jia is pregnant with a dragon fetus?"

Zhenshu scolded sharply.

The guards looked at each other, then came over and made way.

Yu Hu walked in from behind.

She knelt down and saluted with a solemn expression, "My lord, I am sorry for the offense. I am here on the orders of the Emperor to bring Zhenshu and Lixin to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. The Emperor has ordered that from today on, My lord, I will be confined to Qixiang Palace and not allowed to leave."

"Come here, take her away." Yu Hu waved his hand backwards, and two guards came up and held Zhenshu up.

Jin Yuyan angrily scolded, "How dare you! Let me release Zhenshu immediately."

Jin Yuyan stepped forward and grabbed Jung Suk's hand tightly, trying to rescue Jung Suk from the guards, but her strength was too weak to move them.

"Empress Jia, if you don't want others to know, you had better not do it. The emperor already knows what you did, so don't struggle. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Yu family." Yu Hu advised in a deep voice.

When she heard the name Yu, Jin Yuyan felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down her heart, and the fire was extinguished in an instant. Yu, this was her original intention for coming to the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty. She also wanted to give birth to a child, and to ascend to a high position, so that her child would not disappoint the prince's friendship with her.

Zhenshu seemed to see through Jin Yuyan's thoughts. She did not resent her attitude, but was very pleased. She smiled with tears in her eyes: "My queen, don't save me."

That look seemed to say it was for the Yu family.

Yu Hu: "Take it away."

Several guards held Zhenshu down, along with Li Xin.

Yu Hu: "Please ask Concubine Jia to stay in Qixiang Palace and give birth to the baby peacefully."

After saying that, Yu Hu turned and left.

Jin Yuyan followed him, calling out "Jeong Suk" over and over again, but was finally stopped at the door.

After Yu Hu left, the door was closed from the outside, Qixiang Palace was sealed, and the gates were tightly shut. There were only Jin Yuyan and a few palace maids who took care of her in the entire palace. It was as quiet as a cold palace, and it didn't look like the palace of the favorite concubine a few days ago.

The closure of Qixiang Palace caused a huge uproar in the entire imperial palace.

After all, Hai Guiren was banished to the cold palace two days ago, and a few days later, Jiapin was also confined to her house, which made everyone in the harem feel insecure.

Changchun Palace.

When Su Lian heard the news that Jiapin was under house arrest, she moved her hand holding the tea and the scalding tea spilled onto her hand, burning a large area red.

There was panic in his eyes.

Fu Cha Langya was shocked when she heard the news.

I don’t know what Jiapin did wrong, but the emperor put her under house arrest.

Speaking of which, the harem has been really unstable recently, with concubines getting into trouble one after another. Tomorrow the empress dowager will definitely look for her and teach her a lesson. After all, the instability in the harem is her dereliction of duty as the queen.

Fu Cha Langya held her head with her hands because of a headache. It seemed as if there were thin needles piercing her brain, making her suffer unbearable pain.

Ever since Yonglian passed away, she had been unable to sleep and had to stay awake every night until dawn, as if this would make her feel better.

If she hadn't forced Yonglian to study day and night, Yonglian wouldn't have fallen ill, and the evil-hearted Hai Lan wouldn't have had the opportunity to harm Yonglian.

She also knew that the emperor blamed her for Yonglian's death, but she didn't say it out loud because of the pain of losing her son.

Jiapin was under house arrest, and the palace became quiet.

The emperor hasn't entered the harem for two months, and the concubines in the harem haven't been fighting with each other as usual.

Two months later, the confined Jiapin gave birth to a prince. Although Jiapin was under house arrest, the birth of a prince still brought some joy to the palace, which made the emperor happy and he named him Yongsheng.

However, as soon as the child was born, he was taken away from his biological mother Jiapin and given to the emperor's concubine Chen Wanyin, who raised him under her name.

For this reason, the emperor also conferred the title of noble lady on Chen Wanyin.

The emperor didn't care how Jin Yuyan collapsed. He would not let his child be raised by someone like Jin Yuyan.

Chen Wanyin was naturally ecstatic when she had a child. She cared a lot about this son who was not her biological son. For a while, the emperor visited her more often.

Fu Cha Langya had no worries about Jiapin giving birth to a child. Even if she was worried about Yongzhang, she would not worry about Yongsheng. Even if the emperor's descendants died out, it would not be Jiapin's son's turn to ascend the throne as a prince with foreign blood.
