Episode 72
Zhen Huan discovered that Meng Jingxian's child had blue spots on her body. She recalled the legend in the palace that the son of Queen Xian Chunyuan died at birth and also had blue spots on her body. She invited Concubine Jing to investigate the matter together.The emperor ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation of all the maids and eunuchs in the queen's palace. Su Peisheng learned from some people that the queen had previously deliberately murdered Zhen Huan and many other crimes, and had moved out the major secret that the queen had framed the death of Queen Chunyuan.
At that time, Yi Xiu entered the palace as a side Fujin. Soon after, she became pregnant. She could only wait for the birth of a prince to be canonized as a legitimate Fujin. However, at this time, her legitimate sister Rouze came into the palace to serve her. The emperor took a fancy to her and insisted on marrying her as a Fujin.Yixiu agreed verbally, but he was resentful in his heart and suffered physical and mental damage. His eldest brother, Honghui, was pregnant and died at the age of three.
On the day the eldest brother died, Yi Xiu was filled with grief and anger, but Rou Ze was pregnant at this time. The emperor only cared about Rou Ze's pregnancy and ignored Yi Xiu's pain of losing his son.On the surface, Yixiu served his sister very attentively, but secretly he used a large amount of plantains, peach kernels and other things that were harmful to the fetus in his meals.
Rou Ze was in various health conditions and died after giving birth to a stillborn child prematurely. Yi Xiu's crimes were also blamed by Fu Jin, a man who had collided with Rou Ze.Yi Xiu then became a Fujin, but he was never able to have children again.After the emperor ascended the throne, he granted Rou Ze the title of Empress Chunyuan.

However, Zhen Huan cleverly made a trick and taught her daughter Longyue to use the excuse of being a child to be ignorant.Po Jade deciphers the secret and Moge loses face.Yue Zhongqi succeeded in a sneak attack on Junggar, and the emperor used Zhen Huan's plan to spread epidemics among the Junggar army to weaken its troops.
