The fourth elder brother was ignored by the emperor
Deep in the Forbidden City, the whirlpool of power and desire never stops.The emperor's decree caused another stir in the palace.In order to warn the fourth elder brother, the emperor ordered Yu Hu to issue an edict strictly prohibiting the princes in the palace from interacting with court officials.The reaffirmation of this old order is undoubtedly a stern warning to Si Age.
Ruyi knew the emperor's intentions very well, and she understood that the emperor's biggest concern was that the princes would associate with gangsters and pose a threat to the imperial power.She hoped that Si Age could restrain his behavior and avoid getting involved in unnecessary disputes.However, in this palace, everyone's thoughts are so complicated, who can truly be calm?
Rong Pei lamented on the sidelines that although the fifth elder brother fell out of favor, he was loved by the Queen Mother.However, Concubine Jia and her son only wanted to compete for favor, but they lost the favor of the Queen Mother.Between such gains and losses, who is the real winner?
Ling Yunche sighed at home, and Mao Qian complained that he ignored family affairs and was absent-minded.Ling Yunche didn't want to argue with her, so he turned around and went back to his room, but his mind was full of thoughts.He knew that everyone in this palace had their own role and mission, and he was just one of them.
The fourth brother complained to Concubine Jia that the emperor had ignored him recently, but Concubine Jia encouraged him not to lose heart, as long as he performed well, he would still have a chance.She is well aware of the rules in this palace, and also understands that Fourth Prince needs more opportunities to show himself.
The fifth elder brother often accompanied the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied with him.At this time, Mulan Paddock presented several newly tamed wild horses for the fifth elder brother to tame.In the imperial garden, the wild horses were naughty and difficult to tame, but Si Age invited him there. He used straw to attract the wild horses, and then got on the horse, showing his extraordinary riding skills.When the emperor saw Ye Ye being so obedient to Si Age's words, the emperor couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.He remembered the scene when he was assassinated in the paddock, and his suspicion of Si Age became deeper and deeper.
At night, Concubine Jia was very uneasy in the palace.She believed that having only the fourth prince was not enough, and she needed to continue to promote the eighth prince to ensure that one of her three princes would become the future prince.She decided to write a letter to her mother's family, asking the prince to govern diligently and thriftily, to serve the Qing Dynasty, and to ask the emperor to send the prince as an envoy to the Yu family.Such a move undoubtedly involved both the fourth and fifth elder brothers in this power struggle.
In his dream, the emperor once again dreamed of the scene of the assassination in the paddock that day. He told Ruyi about his suspicions about Yongxun and Concubine Jia.He had already sent people to check the whereabouts of the fourth elder brother that day, hoping to find conclusive evidence.Ruyi advised the emperor not to think too much and go to bed first.However, the emperor's heart was already filled with doubts.
The next day, the people sent by the emperor came to report the matter, but no conclusive evidence was found that the fourth elder brother had attacked the emperor.The emperor could only commend Ling Yunche first and promote him to a first-class bodyguard.In order to celebrate this happy event, Mao Qian prepared a banquet and treated the guests to drinks.However, Ling Yunche thought this was too flamboyant, but at Mao Qian's insistence, he had no choice but to go.
The emperor mentioned to Ruyi that the Yu family asked the emperor to send the prince as an envoy to the Yu family.The emperor considered letting Yongqi go, but Ruyi was worried that the Yu family had plans that would be detrimental to Yongqi.The emperor praised Ruyi for his thoughtfulness and decided to send Prince Chu.At the same time, the emperor told Ruyi that he thought Yongxun was acting suspiciously, and that Concubine Jia's advice would be indispensable for this move.In order to avoid more disputes, the emperor decided to let Yongxun leave the palace and open a mansion, away from Concubine Jia.
Ruyi came to visit Yongqi, and she knew that the emperor mentioned the Jungar incident to Yongqi.Yongqi proposed to the emperor that he should use troops against Geer and welcome the eldest princess back to the court.Ruyi praised Yongqi for being very filial and told him that she had asked Yongqi to keep a low profile in the past, but now the time has come for Yongqi to perform well in the future.The emperor ordered to send troops to conquer Dawaqi, but the fourth prince did not know about it beforehand. Concubine Jia also felt that the incident was unexpected. She also accused the fourth prince of getting close to Ye Ye in the imperial garden that day, which aroused the emperor's suspicion.
At this time, Li Yu came to convey the order, saying that the emperor ordered the fourth elder brother to leave the palace to open the palace immediately, and was not allowed to enter the palace unless there was something wrong, and moved the eighth elder brother to the Xiefang Palace.Concubine Jia felt resentful because she was being plotted against.After the fourth elder brother left, the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother were very harmonious.However, Concubine Jia's madness became more and more serious. She felt that someone was plotting to harm her, so she ordered some dogs to look after her home.However, these dogs frightened Ruyi's fifth princess, who became frightened and fell ill.When the emperor learned about it, he angrily rebuked Concubine Jia and ordered Concubine Jia to keep only one dog and send the rest away.
