Chapter 119: Overcoming the difficulties without any danger; Hong Zhou holds another funeral

When Li Yu came to report, Hongli was furious: "Absurd! Hongzhou's behavior is getting more and more absurd."

"I must punish him severely!"

Although it was said to be a severe punishment, he was only fined three years' salary and was asked to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

Because the Empress Dowager doted on Hongzhou very much, she told Hongli that Hongzhou did such a foolish thing just because he wanted to show his filial piety.

If you have enough money, you won't do anything stupid.

Under the empress dowager's constant persuasion, the salary deduction was dropped. In the end, Hongli had no choice but to reward him with a lot of gold, silver and treasures, which made him earn a lot of money.

Fu Heng shook his head after learning about this. Fortunately, she did not drink with him that day, otherwise he would have been implicated.

Hong Zhou was so bored during these days of house arrest that he held another funeral in the palace.

This time he lay in the coffin and fell asleep soundly listening to the wailing of the crowd.

He woke up only after everyone had cried until their voices were hoarse. After waking up, he just felt hungry, so he picked up the offerings and ate them, waving his hand while eating to let them continue crying.

Cui Jia did not attend because she was pregnant. She hid in the room and listened to the crying outside, feeling terrified.

The maid Xin'er brought a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine and said, "Concubine, please drink the medicine. It's not too hot now."

Cui Jia nodded and drank the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and Xin'er helped her rinse her mouth.

"Concubine, is our prince sick?" Xin'er asked.

"Sick? He is not sick, he is just idle!" Cui Jia said in a low voice.

Hong Zhou from the front hall pointed at one of the servants and said, "Ah Qing cries the best, give him a reward!"

When everyone saw that there was a reward, they cried even harder.

Only then did Hong Zhou nod with satisfaction and give out all the rewards. That was the end of it.

Hongli knew that he loved to preside over funerals, so he specially put Hongzhou in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Clan Affairs.

Whenever a member of the royal family registered with the Ministry of Clan Affairs died, their funeral would be handled by Hong Zhou.

Hongzhou himself also worked very hard and saw off many of his uncles. After the death of Kangxi's twelfth son, Prince Lu Yinlu, his fourteenth son, Prince Xun Yinzhen, and his seventeenth son, Prince Guo Yinli, Hongzhou personally took charge of the funeral and saw them off.

It can be seen that Hongli also brought Hongzhou's hobbies into full play.

At night, Hong Zhou also ordered people to place the funerary objects, ivory tripods, Yi plates and bowls and other items he made in the mansion in front of his bed so that he could sleep peacefully.

On this day, Hongli went straight to Xianfu Palace as soon as he finished his court session. Yingpin felt uncomfortable in her stomach for some reason.

When Hongli arrived, Ruyi, Gao Xiyue and others were there.

Qi Ru checked He Xi's pulse and asked, "What did Yingpin eat or use?"

He Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Everything is the same as usual. It's just that the master has been sleeping restlessly at night recently, so I went to the Imperial Hospital to get some tranquilizers."

"Are the residues still there?"

He Xi nodded and immediately brought the medicine residue.

Qi Ru checked the medicinal residue and actually found motherwort in it.

"Your Majesty, this is Motherwort. It's fine for a woman who's not pregnant to eat it, but if a pregnant woman eats it, it will stimulate fetal movement, and over time it may cause miscarriage."

Hongli slammed the table and said, "Investigate for me who did it."

There are so many people in the Imperial Medical Service, how can it be so easy to find out?

In the end, they only arrested the young eunuch on duty and tortured him but couldn't get anything out of him. Fortunately, Yingpin and the child were not seriously injured, so the matter was left unresolved.
