Chapter 73: Regaining Grace
"Shufei, why are you here?"

Nearly two years have passed since Yang Ni rebelled.

During these two years, Concubine Yang Huan had been imprisoned in Yonghe Palace and was not allowed to see her father without the emperor's order.

Of course, in the past two years, Zheng Yi has never met Concubine Yang Huan.

I didn’t expect that what I saw today would be under such circumstances?
She used her noble status as a concubine to disguise herself as a palace maid, and took advantage of the fact that the selection ceremony was being held and the harem had mobilized a large number of eunuchs to serve in the Imperial Garden, and she quietly came to the Imperial Garden.

The eunuchs guarding the Yonghe Palace were also transferred to the Imperial Garden.

That's why he was able to find a loophole and come quietly.

"Your Majesty, you always called me Huan'er before, why?"

Yang Huan's eyes were filled with grief and she grabbed Zheng Yi's trouser leg.

"Your Majesty, please consider my past friendship and go see Yao'er?"

"Yao'er? How is she?"

"Yao'er has had a high fever since the beginning of winter. I, Qing'er, and Ning'er have been taking care of her day and night. However, I cannot find an imperial physician..."

"Be bold!"

A flash of coldness passed through Zheng Yi's eyes. Yao'er, you are my eldest daughter.

I imprisoned Concubine Shu as a punishment, but Yao'er must be innocent, why should she suffer such pain?
"Go to Yonghe Palace!"

"promise!"

"Go to Yonghe Palace~!"

Zheng Yi also took Yang Huan's hand and let her sit in his sedan chair.

"Huan'er, you've worked hard."

Yang Huan is extremely beautiful, and she usually wears complicated, noble, and dazzling clothes.

Recently, in order to meet me, she dressed up as a palace maid, which made her look even more youthful.

Zheng Yi's heart moved. Isn't this the oldest uniform temptation?

He immediately hugged Yang Huan and placed her on the sedan chair, comforting her softly.

The sedan chair traveled all the way to Yonghe Palace, and all the eunuchs and palace maids along the way saw it.

Many beauties, noble ladies, concubines, etc. also looked sideways and knelt down to pay their respects.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty~!"

After Zheng Yi's sedan chair left, many people began to discuss in low voices again.

"Which maid is that in your majesty's arms? It's a step to heaven!"

"Hush! That's not a palace maid, that's the concubine of Yonghe Palace!"

"Shufei? Which Shufei?"

"My lady, please keep quiet. Concubine Shu is the daughter of Yang Ni. She has been imprisoned in Yonghe Palace for two years. I didn't expect that she would take this opportunity to regain the emperor's favor today!"

"Hiss... Concubine Shu can make a comeback. This palace is going to undergo another big change!"

"No matter how powerful Concubine Shu is, she is the daughter of a guilty minister. She is lucky to be able to guarantee her own safety!"

"Not bad, not bad. Concubine Shu is still nothing to worry about."

"However, I think the group of eunuchs and palace maids serving in Yonghe Palace are in trouble!"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"I heard that Kang Dahai, the eunuch in charge of Yonghe Palace, secretly withheld Concubine Shu's monthly salary, even the charcoal, thermos, hot water, etc. for winter!"

"What? This slave is so bold!"

"Ha~! This is nothing. Kang Dahai only dared to do this because he saw that His Majesty had not come for more than a year. He did not expect that he would encounter the concubine Shu regaining favor."

"Hush...go away, go away, don't talk about the masters' affairs."

The palace maids and eunuchs were talking about it, but Zheng Yi had already brought Yang Huan to Yonghe Palace.

"I have met His Majesty!"

The only two palace maids left in Yonghe Palace hurried out and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The two little girls also knelt beside him and spoke in baby voices.

"This is……"

Yang Huan on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is Qing'er and Ning'er, they are my cousins."

"Yang Xueqing, Yang Xuening, come here quickly, Qing'er and Ning'er, to meet His Majesty."

"Oh~"

Zheng Yi remembered that he had promised Yang Huan to bring out two little girls, and it seemed that these two were them.

"Your Majesty, you are so tall~"

"Your Majesty, brother, are you Sister Huan'er's husband?"

The two little girls raised their heads and asked innocently. One of them was over five years old, and the other was over three years old, which was the age that deserved pity.

But they were wearing several layers of thin clothes, and their faces were red from the cold.

"Be good, Qing'er and Ning'er, I am your brother-in-law~"

Zheng Yi pinched the two little girls' faces with a gloomy look in his eyes.

icy.

Although it is early spring and the weather is still cold, the faces of these two little girls are cold.

Not only that, he felt it when he just came in. The entire Yonghe Palace exuded a cold feeling inside and out, and there was no warmth at all like the palaces of other concubines in the harem.

I took a look at the brazier, it was still ice-cold, without a trace of temperature, not even a charcoal!

The most important thing is that Qing'er and Ning'er don't have any resentment towards me.

It seems that Yang Huan did not tell them their life stories.

Children are the least able to hide their emotions.

"Where's Yao'er?"

"inside."

In the inner room, a little child was sleeping on a wooden bed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

"Yao'er~"

Zheng Yi took two quick steps and carefully observed Yaoer's situation.

At this moment, she was sleeping, but her brows were furrowed on her delicate little face.

I touched her head, but it felt a little hot and her lips were still dry.

"Why do you have a fever? Call the imperial physician!"

"promise!"

Liu Chengen agreed and ran out quickly.

"Yao'er has a fever?"

Yang Huan also hurried over and said distressedly: "I, I was fine before I left, what happened?"

A palace maid said, "Your Majesty, the little princess's illness has not been cured. The fever keeps coming back. I, your servants, can do nothing about it."

"Wow wow wow..."

Perhaps it was because the crowd’s voices were too loud that Zheng Yuyao woke up and started crying immediately.

"Dear Yao'er, dear Yao'er... Mother is here, Mother is here."

Yang Huan quickly hugged Zheng Yuyao in her arms, patted her shoulders gently, and soothed her emotions.

"By the way, look who's here, it's the father~" "Didn't you keep shouting that you wanted to see the father~"

After a few breaths, she placed Zheng Yuyao on her arms, let her small body lean against her arms, facing Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yuyao, who had just woken up, had a flushed face and a few tears on her big watery eyes. She was as cute as a little apple.

She also found a strange man standing in front of her, looking at her eagerly.

"Wow~!"

Before I could watch for a few seconds, Yaoer started crying again with her mouth wide open.

"Good boy, Yao'er, good boy, it's your father~"

Yang Huan became nervous and quickly tried to comfort her.

Zheng Yi was also speechless. This was his first time. No, it should be his second time since the day he was born.

He didn't expect that she would cry like this when they met this time. He immediately reached out his hand and patted her gently.

"Good boy Yao'er, don't cry, it's your father~"

Perhaps it was because she heard Zheng Yi's voice, Zheng Yuyao, who was originally in distress, actually stopped, hid her little head in the crack of Yang Huan's chest, and secretly showed one eye to look at Zheng Yi.

"Father, Father... Hug me, hug me..."

As he said this, he tried to stretch out his little hand towards Zheng Yi.

"Haha, good, good~"

Zheng Yi laughed and hugged Zheng Yuyao over.

The little girl's body was so frail and boneless, as if she was holding nothing.

After all, Zheng Yi was the one who took care of the other four princesses, so he knew how to hold a baby.

But compared to other princesses like Yuhuan and Yuxia, Yuyao looks lighter and smaller.

“Hehe, hehe, hehe… Father, father, you are here!”

"Yao'er is very happy, Yao'er is very happy~!"

Zheng Yuyao said in a tender voice, causing Zheng Yi to pinch her little neck even more, his eyes full of heartache.

"Yao'er, are you cold?"

Only then did he realize that Zheng Yuyao was also wearing at least four or five thin clothes, and like Yang Xueqing and the others, her little face was still a little red.

"No, it's not cold~"

Zheng Yuyao stretched out her little hand and nodded in front of Zheng Yi, "No, but it's a little cold at night. Yao'er just hugs mother, sister Qing'er, and sister Ning'er, then it won't be cold~"

Zheng Yi was stunned. Hugging Huan'er, Qing'er and Ning'er?
In other words, to keep warm, they sleep together at night?
The eunuchs in Yonghe Palace deserve to die!

The other little princesses had all the necessary food, clothing and daily necessities provided, their bedrooms were extremely warm, and they were served with honey water on a daily basis.

And his eldest princess...

He nudged Yuyao's forehead with his head and whispered, "Is your head hot?"

"It's not hot, Yao'er's head is hot~"

Zheng Yi felt even more distressed and hugged her tighter.

At this time, Liu Chengen walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital has arrived!"

Liu Cheng'en was the best at guessing the emperor's intentions, so he directly brought three experts in traditional Chinese medicine who were the most skilled in pediatrics in the Imperial Hospital.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Ah."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Please check on the princess' illness. Make sure she gets well."

"promise!"

Three imperial doctors immediately surrounded Zheng Yuyao, taking his pulse and examining him.

Zheng Yi called over the two palace maids who were still staying in Yonghe Palace and asked in a deep voice, "What are your names?"

"Your Majesty, I am your servant Xiangcao."

"Your Majesty, I am your servant Koi."

"Let me ask you, where are the eunuchs and maids serving in Yonghe Palace?"

Zuo Yi's eyes were filled with resentment, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, they have all been transferred away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Your Majesty, there were originally twelve eunuchs and eight palace maids serving in the Yonghe Palace. The little princess was still young, so there were originally two wet nurses serving her, but unfortunately, they were all transferred away later."

"Especially the chief eunuch Kang Dahai, who not only transferred people away to curry favor with other concubines, but also intercepted all the food and clothing expenses of our Yonghe Palace, and even did not provide enough charcoal in winter."

"If the queen hadn't asked me to secretly leave the palace and sell my dowry jewelry, we would have frozen to death long ago~!"

Zheng Yi's expression turned cold and he was too lazy to find out the truth. This was a common occurrence in the palace.

Unfavored concubines or concubines who were banished to the cold palace would be bullied by the Imperial Household Department and even other concubines and eunuch leaders.

This has become an unspoken rule.

But since I have discovered it myself, I can only punish him more severely.

"Liu Chengen."

"The slave is here!"

"Order to be passed. All eunuchs and palace maids who originally left the Yonghe Palace will be beaten to death regardless of the reason!"

"promise!"

"Replace the candidate for the Internal Affairs Department's Internal Affairs Office. The original Internal Affairs Office will be sent to the Internal Criminal Department and severely punished!"

"promise!"

"Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rearrange the palace maids to move into the Yonghe Palace, and order..."

He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Order the Jingshifang to hang up the Shufei sign again."

Liu Chengen was shocked and said immediately: "Yes~!"

At this time, the imperial physician also withdrew.

"How is the princess?"

The chief imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, Princess Yao Chi just had a common evil wind entering her body. She only needs to dispel the cold and not be disturbed by the cold. She will be back to normal in less than half a month."

"Prescribe some medicine."

"promise!"

"Also, who is the imperial physician in charge of the medical affairs of Yonghe Palace?"

"The chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Liu Chen."

"Liu Chen, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, neglected his duties and disobeyed the emperor's orders, causing the princess to remain bedridden for several months. He is hereby ordered to commit suicide."

The three doctors trembled and said immediately: "Yes!"

"Go down!"

The three imperial doctors retreated tremblingly, and Yang Huan also walked out excitedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Yao'er seems to be much better."

Zheng Yi held Yang Huan's hand and said, "Huan'er, you've worked hard."

Yang Huan was excited and her face turned red, but she still said, "These are what I should do."

"Oh, Your Majesty, a few days ago, Qing'er reminded me that when I was ordered to ask my father and Yang Ni, he once said something about the Fire Spirit Child."

"Oh?"

Zheng Yi subconsciously exerted force, pinched Yang Huan's small hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
