Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

There are too many royal descendants in the capital. If we make too much noise and kill people, we will only put the whole city on martial law, which will make it inconvenient to continue killing people in the future.

Therefore, Tang Yu keeps a low profile, and now she wants to play the assassination game.

It was a long walk from the laundry department to Consort Yi's palace, so Tang Yu naturally couldn't actually go to see Consort Yi. Instead, she was led directly to a secluded spot in the palace.

Then, there she met the Ninth Prince, Yin Tang, with a sinister smile on his face.

Yinzhen, dressed in fine clothes, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and disdain, sneered.

"It's not easy to even see a lowly servant like you!"

Tang Yu did not bow, but instead raised his head and sneered.

"I've been waiting for Ninth Master to appear for a long time!"

"How dare you! You lowly servant, kneel down!"

The lackey beside him, with his pointed face and bulging eyes, preemptively began to berate him.

Yinzhen, standing to the side, had a gloomy face and wide-open eyes, revealing a murderous aura.

She's just a lowly palace maid, yet she dares to stare at him so brazenly. She's utterly absurd!

"You've got some nerve. Originally, I only wanted to kill you, but now I think there's no need to spare the lives of your relatives outside the palace either!"

Yin Tang gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his distorted face filled with rage.

Tang Yu scoffed. The group of people outside the palace were no good either. They beat and scolded her before sending her into the palace, as if she could be threatened.

"Ninth Master needs to think first about who can leave here alive?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was shocked, and Prince Yinzhen was furious, his face turning red with rage.

This is truly bizarre! How dare a palace maid utter such outrageous words? It's utterly lawless!

"Gag her and cut off her arms and legs!"

The original plan was to drown him in the lake, but now Yinzhen was completely enraged, his face contorted with anger.

He was determined to torment this arrogant and ignorant servant girl, who dared to show him such contempt and speak to him in such a provocative tone!

Upon hearing the order, several strong young men rubbed their hands together, eager to attack Tang Yu.

Tang Yu sneered, and with a flick of her sleeve, a group of people around her all screamed and fell to the ground.

Yin Tang, whose face was grim and who wanted to see Tang Yu tortured to death, suddenly showed a look of horror.

Suddenly, the lowly maidservant he had never paid any attention to appeared like a ghost and grabbed his body tightly.

After a stick of incense.

After struggling several times while being submerged in the lake, Yin Tang finally drowned completely.

Tang Yu turned around and erased the memories of the eunuchs, then quietly returned to the laundry department.

That very night, news of the ninth prince, Yin Tang, drowning in the lake spread throughout the entire palace!

The entire palace was placed under martial law. No one could have imagined that a prince would drown like this!

[I meant the massacre in the capital, hahaha]

Chapter 2, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

"What did you say? Ninth Master is dead!"

Because of the drowning of the Ninth Prince Yin Tang, the entire palace was on high alert, with guards stationed at every location.

Knowing the truth, Ruoxi asked in surprise.

"Keep your voice down! A prince has died this time. If we anger the nobles, none of us will survive!"

Ruoxi froze, completely stunned. How could she be dead? She shouldn't be dying at this time!

She was supposed to die after Yongzheng ascended the throne? Was she dreaming?

Ruoxi pinched herself hard, only to find the pain so clear and real.

Could there have been a similar incident in history, where the person actually faked their death and then came back to life?

At this moment, Ruoxi still refused to believe it and instead suspected that there was some other conspiracy.

However, for Kangxi, for the entire imperial city, or for the Eighth Prince's faction and the Fourth Prince's faction, this was the truth.

After all, the body had been retrieved and identified, and it hadn't been submerged for long, so how could they not recognize who the dead person was?

Of course, no one believed that Yinzhen would drown.

Although not particularly favored, Yin Tang was still a member of the imperial family and had a large number of people serving him at all times.

Even if someone accidentally falls into the water, a eunuch will immediately go down to rescue them. However, after bringing those eunuchs over for questioning, no one knew what had happened!

So everyone was dragged to the Shenxing Division for interrogation.

Emperor Kangxi was furious, suspecting that his sons had already killed each other in the palace!

For the Eighth Prince's faction, Yinzhen was weeping bitterly, Yinsi was frowning, and Yinti was filled with righteous indignation!

For the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, it was also hard to believe, and he even doubted whether the deposed crown prince could still do such a thing in the palace.

A climate of suspicion permeated the entire palace, with everyone suspecting that their rivals had killed them.

Yinxiang, who was locked up in the beekeeping alley, also learned of the news and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Who did this?

But no one could suspect Tang Yu.

Tang Yu's identity is insignificant, and she has erased the eunuch's memories. It's impossible for this group of people to suspect a palace maid. How could a palace maid have such great power?

But everyone could sense that something was wrong, so a chain of suspicion was perfectly formed.

Over the next few days, palace guards came and went.

The palace maids and eunuchs in each area were interrogated to find out if anything unusual had happened that day.

Although Emperor Kangxi was somewhat saddened by the sudden death of Yinzhen, the main reason he was spending so much energy on the investigation was because he was more worried about his own safety.

If a son can die mysteriously in the palace, will he die mysteriously next time?

The emperor's greatest concern is his own safety. Whether it's infighting or an accident, he can only feel at ease once the culprit is found!

Therefore, the entire palace was shrouded in shadow, and at the same time, preparations for Yinzhen's funeral were being made.

The laundry department remained an unnoticed place; even the eunuch Zhang, who had previously tried to make things difficult for Ruoxi, dared not make any further moves.

After all, the emperor's sons were dead, so who would dare to cause trouble at this time? It could be said that the group was very well-behaved at this moment.

However, they still couldn't find anything out, at least not from Kangxi's side.

However, for the Eighth Prince's faction and Consort Yi, they could still find out something.

After all, what did Yinzhen want to do when he came to the palace that day? Asking Yinzhen's confidant, Ninth Prince, about the things he has been concerned about recently might yield some clues.

At least Tang Yu has come into the group's sights again, but they dare not expose this matter to Emperor Kangxi. So the group plans to investigate Tang Yu in secret.

"Myth brother, there's definitely something wrong with this palace maid! Find a way to interrogate her!"

Yinqi angrily clenched the piece of paper in his hand. It contained all the information about Tang Yu that had been gathered so far. There seemed to be nothing unusual about it, but the reason why he hadn't been poisoned to death the previous times was that he was furious.

Later, Ninth Brother tried to take action, but died inexplicably. Naturally, Yinzhen suspected that Tang Yu was involved!

"Tenth Brother, don't be impulsive! This palace maid is certainly suspicious, but the most important thing is who is behind her and who is ordering her around? That's what we need to find out!"

Eighth Prince Yinzhi didn't think a mere palace maid had such great abilities; he was more interested in drawing out the person behind her.

The Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen, frowned and spoke.

"Brother Ba, how should we lure out the person behind this palace maid?"

Yinzhi paced back and forth in the room, clearly struggling with how to investigate this matter.

If we make too much of a commotion now, it will easily attract attention, but we still need to investigate the truth behind Ninth Brother's death.

"Father is suspicious of everyone right now, so we must not make too much of a fuss. We can only send someone to keep an eye on this palace maid and see who she makes contact with."

After things have calmed down, have Consort Yi transfer this palace maid away and keep her under close surveillance!

This was the only option left, since with Emperor Kangxi watching over them, any action would attract attention.

We can't expose the secrets of the Eighth Prince's Party and the court officials just to investigate the cause of death.

Meanwhile, a secret spy organization established by the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, is also investigating, but so far they have not yet traced Tang Yu to him.

The matter of Yinzhen killing Tang Yu was simply too well-kept secret.

Tang Yu naturally discovered that someone was watching her, and that someone was secretly rummaging through her closet, trying to uncover her secrets.

However, Tang Yu didn't care and instead started planning the next thing.

So even after Yin Tang's funeral was over, nothing was found in the inner palace or the court. Instead, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and those watching Tang Yu couldn't discover anything.

However, when everything calmed down, and some even thought it might have been an accidental drowning death!

The eldest prince, Yinti, and the deposed crown prince, Yinreng, died at the same time, both on the same night, suddenly going mad and setting themselves on fire!

The entire capital was shocked and horrified!

The unexpected death of a prince, though shocking, can also be considered an accident.

But the eldest prince and the deposed crown prince died on the same night, and both went mad and set themselves on fire. Can this still be called an accident?

This is clearly God's punishment!

Given the level of superstition in that era, everyone would think there was something wrong with the royal family. If they hadn't committed heinous crimes, how could they have suffered such a disaster?

Those in power often enjoy deceiving the people, making them believe in things like reincarnation, retribution, and divine punishment.

Now, however, heaven has sent down a great fire as punishment on the emperor's son.

Anyone would have thought, "This is a terrible thing to do!"

The entire capital was in a state of panic, and the imperial city was filled with unease. At this critical moment, Tang Yu ordered the burning of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

It enshrines all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty from Nurhaci onwards.

However, a great fire burned the place down, directly proving that the royal family had committed heinous crimes and were punished by the heavens with a great fire!
