At night, the Fourth Master transformed into a ghost and went to the Palace of Peace and Tranquility.

Niohulu was quite obedient in the past. How did she become so active after becoming the Empress Dowager?

She knew that the situation in Gansu was urgent and she needed money, but she still wanted to hold a grand birthday celebration?

So what if it was her fiftieth birthday? She could hold a grand celebration when she was a hundred years old!

Although Qianlong did not have a good relationship with Niohulu, he did not shortchange her at all.

"You've been calling yourself the Empress Dowager recently. You're quite shameless!"

The Fourth Master talked about the new words he learned from Qianlong.

Shameless. It could be used on female friends to multiply the damage, causing them to panic instantly. They would only think about whether their face was really big and not care about anything else.

The Empress Dowager woke up from her dream and saw the Fourth Master floating in front of her eyes. She immediately shouted.

However, after being pressed down by a ghost, only her consciousness was clear. Everything else was in vain.

"Be at ease and be the Empress Dowager. If you dare to do those useless things again, you know what I'm capable of!"

Even as a ghost, I won't let go of your true self.

The next morning, the Empress Dowager fell ill with a high fever. She kept muttering about the late Emperor.

The matter was related to the late Emperor, and it was the end of the year. The Empress suggested that the shamans should come to the palace to perform a ritual.

However, Qianlong knew how the empress dowager had fallen ill. Holding the third place in the examination, he shook his head and said, "The empress dowager is old. Those whining sorcerers will disturb the empress dowager's rest. Let the concubines take turns to attend to her."

Those people had nothing to do.

The Empress Dowager had said not to hold a birthday celebration. Now that the Empress Dowager was sick, the officials of the Ministry of Rites agreed with Qianlong's suggestion.

In this cold weather, the Empress Dowager's health was more important.

The officials and their wives were eager to hold a simple celebration. They were so happy that they immediately increased the birthday gifts by thirty percent.

With the support of the Fourth Master, Qianlong immediately obeyed the Fourth Master's orders. Thirty percent of the Empress Dowager's birthday gift was carried into the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, while the remaining seventy percent was turned into supplies and sent to Gansu.

Just as the Fourth Master was admiring the book with 140,000 words praising Qianlong, someone came to report that the Empress Dowager had fainted after learning that the birthday gift had been intercepted by The Emperor. The imperial physician's diagnosis was that the Empress Dowager's condition was not optimistic.

Qianlong glanced at Tanhua guiltily. Tanhua immediately stretched out his front paw and drew a cross on the imperial table.

"When the Empress Dowager wakes up, I will go over and tell the imperial physician to save the Empress Dowager's life!"

The Empress Dowager had a stroke and was lying on the bed, unable to speak.

Old Concubine Yu was sitting next to the Empress Dowager. Seeing Qianlong arrive, she hurriedly stood up.

Qianlong saw the Empress Dowager staring at him and took a deep breath.

"Zhen treats you as my mother, but you treat Zhen as an enemy.

Even though you are paralyzed on the bed and unable to speak, Zhen still treats you as my mother.

When Hong Ri and the others return, Zhen will make up for your birthday gift tenfold.

During this time, I'll have to trouble Old Concubine to talk to my mother … … "

Qianlong said a lot and then left.

Everyone pondered for a while as if they had heard an incredible piece of news.

Many of the concubines were dumbfounded. Old Concubine Yu expressed, 'Don't look at me, I'm also dumbfounded!'

If the Empress Dowager wasn't The Emperor's biological mother, then who was The Emperor's biological mother?

It seemed that she was no longer alive. Perhaps she had passed away not long after giving birth to The Emperor.

It was very likely that the Empress Dowager had given birth to a child … …

The more everyone thought about it, the more terrified they felt.

After leaving the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, the Fourth Master immediately floated up and slapped Qianlong's head.

"What nonsense are you saying, Niohulu is your mother!

Even if you gave her a few guts, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Besides, do you think Zhen's stick is just for decoration? "

Qianlong rubbed his head, feeling wronged.

Strictly speaking, the Empress Dowager really wasn't Qianlong's biological mother.

Only Qianlong himself and the Fourth Master knew about the matter of changing the pulp … …

The Fourth Master already treated Qianlong as his own son. Remembering that this child wasn't actually his child, he rubbed Qianlong's head again.

"That, Fourth Master, let me ask you something. You can't be angry, and don't hit me." Qianlong secretly told the Fourth Master about the recent rumors in the Xinzheku.

It was said that the prince left behind by the late Emperor was tricked into the palace to become a eunuch, and now the Xinzheku was pouring night incense … …

No matter how fast Qianlong ran, how could he be faster than a ghost?

The furious Fourth Master was not easy to coax. Qianlong looked at the outstretched claws of the third flower and had to repeatedly say that he would severely punish the person who started the rumor and prove the Fourth Master's innocence.

The stick's action was swift, and soon the two corpses were sent out of the palace with the night incense … …

The colorful fireworks of the New Year were gorgeous and dazzling, making everyone happy.

Consort Xian looked at the fireworks in the sky and remembered the scene when she was a child accompanied by her family. She couldn't help but feel sad, thinking about how her Ama, Er Niang, and brother were doing in Shengjing … …

On the other side, Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng also hid in a corner to enjoy the beautiful fireworks, looking forward to their future.

"Do you think your family will dislike my background … …"

Fu Heng's family was very different from Helanca's family. Fu Heng's family was a big family, who knew how many there were.

She would rather not marry into the family than be a concubine. How good would it be if she could be the first wife like Ming Yu's sister?

Fu Heng hugged the hot water bottle and shook his head. After a long time, he said, "When The Emperor grants the marriage, my Ama and Er Niang won't say anything."

Although they didn't say it, they would have some thoughts in their hearts … …

Wei Yingluo felt that she had met the right person, but the murderer of her sister hadn't been found yet. She couldn't let the murderer get away with it!

The Empress knew that Qianlong's mood had been a little low recently, so she discussed with Ming Yu and Yingluo for a long time about what to do to please the Emperor.

Yingluo had already prepared a set of pajamas for the Empress.

Apart from the addition of a hat on the collar and two fluffy little ears on top of the hat, he had also added.

After the Empress put on the cat pajamas, Qianlong was mesmerized.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, like a fairy cat descending to the mortal world.

Qianlong swallowed hard and immediately started to take off his clothes as he walked.

"Yung Yin is too tempting today … … Tonight, zhen is going to turn into a little tiger and tear Yung Yin into pieces!"

The thin bed curtains weren't soundproof at all. The palace maids in the room all heard the sounds from the bed curtains and their faces were as red as cooked prawns.

Although Qianlong had been abstinent for a long time, he didn't turn into a beast. He only cared about his own pleasure and called for water after the Empress didn't want it anymore.

"Zhen has a feeling that the heavens will give us another child."

The Empress made a sound in Qianlong's arms. She hoped that the heavens would give them another chance.

On the fifth day of the second month, when Yingluo brought in a fish, the Empress couldn't help but retch.

It wasn't easy to get a stomachache in the winter and the Empress' health had always been good. When Ming Yu ran out to call for the imperial physician, the people in the room had already started to congratulate the Empress.

After the imperial physician's examination, the Empress was indeed pregnant again and the fetus was stable.

"Reward everyone in Kun Ning Palace with three months of salary!

Li Yu, take the imperial physician down to receive the reward! "

Calculating the time, it was that night. Qianlong gently touched the Empress' stomach and laughed like a two hundred pound fool.
