Wei Zhu walked in from outside, whispered a few words to Liang Jiugong, and then left.

Kangxi glanced at him sideways. "What's wrong?"

Liang Jiugong immediately stepped forward and explained, "It is said that the First Prince Hongxi sent someone to deliver a message, which must have been sent to Prince Zhi."

Kangxi stared intently at the unconscious Yinreng for a long while before saying, "That child is quite clever. But I want to see what choice Baoqing will make in this situation."

Liang Jiugong did not respond, but no one noticed that Yinreng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly pursed his lips.

"How is Consort Wenxi doing?"

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said, "The Imperial Concubine has also taken the medicine given by Aoqi and has now woken up. She is a little weak, but as long as she takes good care of herself, there will be no problem."

Emperor Kangxi got up and walked to the window, looking at the colorful scenery outside.

This time he was careless, allowing someone to use the opportunity to implicate the Crown Prince.

Thinking of the palace maid's fearless appearance that day, Kangxi's eyes turned slightly cold.

"Report what happened that day to Consort Wenxi and tell her to give her three days to find the real culprit. If she can't find him, then the Consort should give up her post."

Liang Jiugong silently lit incense for Consort Wenxi before turning and leaving.

It's not unreasonable for Emperor Kangxi to take his anger out on Consort Wenxi, after all, that palace maid was Consort Wenxi's close maid. She couldn't even manage her own maid, and when the Crown Princess was thoroughly investigating the matter, she even implicated the Crown Prince.

Fortunately, Yin'e is now the Crown Prince's man; otherwise, this whole operation would have been suspected of being a staged drama orchestrated by her to frame the Crown Prince.

After seeing Liang Jiugong off, Consort Wenxi smashed her teacup and said angrily, "I don't care who is behind this, how dare they play tricks right under my nose and almost kill me and the Crown Prince! Even if the Emperor doesn't say anything, I won't let this go."

Cui Liu was also furious.

Recalling the appearance of the Emperor and Empress Dowager that day, if His Highness the Crown Prince had really died in this incident, regardless of whether his own concubine was the victim or the one who framed him, she would probably not escape her fate.

"Your Highness, shall we inform Lord Faka?"

Consort Wenxi trembled with anger. "Tell my elder brother exactly what Liang Jiugong said. He knows how to handle things outside. As for the people around me..."

She swept her cold gaze over the people kneeling in the courtyard and snorted, "I really didn't know that I was keeping someone else's spies by my side. Since they're not afraid of death, then let's investigate them one by one."

The three-day thorough investigation not only put everyone in Bichun Pavilion in a state of fear, but also prompted other sleeping quarters in the imperial palace to begin their own investigations.

There was no other reason than that they were all terrified by what happened that day.

Three days later, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Emperor Kangxi, and others gathered in Bichun Pavilion.

Consort Wenxi first apologized, and then ordered someone to bring up the palace maid who had pointed out Yuqing Palace that day.

At this moment, the palace maid had no obvious injuries, and it did not seem like she had been tortured.

But looking at her terrified expression, one can only wonder what suffering she has endured behind the scenes.

Consort Wenxi glanced at the trembling palace maid kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Who instructed you to poison me and point out Yuqing Palace? If you're willing to tell me, I guarantee you'll die a quick death. If you dare utter a single lie, I won't hesitate to..."

Before Consort Wenxi could finish speaking, the palace maid began to kowtow frantically, "Your Majesty, this servant was acting under the orders of the Eighth Prince's wife."

Everyone was shocked, and Emperor Kangxi was filled with disbelief.

"Are you sure it's the Eighth Prince's wife and not someone else from the Guo Luo Luo clan?"

The palace maid shook her head in horror, “Once, when I went to the Imperial Kitchen to fetch the tribute lychees, I tripped and accidentally dropped all of the Consort’s share into the pond. I was afraid of being punished, so I squatted by the pond and cried. It was the Eighth Prince’s wife who gave me the lychees she had received from Consort Yi, so that I could complete my task and avoid punishment. I have always remembered this kindness in my heart.”

Consort Wenxi was furious when she heard this.

The Eighth Prince's wife has been confined to her quarters for so long, how can she still cause such trouble?

If it were the Guo Luoluo family who did this, she could feel a little better. But as a noble concubine in the harem, being schemed against like this by a prince's wife who was under house arrest, she felt incredibly resentful.

"Tell me everything that the Eighth Prince Consort has made you do," Consort Wenxi asked, barely suppressing her anger.

The young palace maid shook her head. "This is the first time the Eighth Princess has asked me to do something. I was initially hesitant, but the Eighth Princess said that although His Majesty loves His Highness the Crown Prince, he has always been suspicious of him. As long as this matter is clearly pointed out to be instigated by Yuqing Palace, I will be fine."

Kangxi closed his eyes. Very good. He, the emperor, was actually being manipulated so accurately by his daughter-in-law.

If Yinreng hadn't suddenly gone mad that day, he really didn't know what kind of disaster he would have caused.

Consort Wenxi glanced at Emperor Kangxi, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she continued, "Now that the Eighth Prince's wife is under house arrest, who contacted you?"

"He was a minor eunuch serving Prince Jiu."

Yinzhen, who was originally furious at the Eighth Prince's wife for being so ruthless, was completely stunned when he heard these words. The Ninth Prince's wife was so frightened that she dropped her teacup on the ground.

The two knelt down together, saying, "Father, please understand! Your sons did not do such a thing!"

At this moment, Kangxi was extremely calm. If this matter hadn't involved too many people, it would have been fine. But now that it had implicated the Ninth Prince from the Crown Prince, it was clear that he wanted to use this matter to wipe out all the members of the Crown Prince's faction.

Even though he didn't punish them, he still held a grudge against them.

But the truth is that both Consort Wenxi and the Crown Prince's illnesses were treated by people sent by the Ninth Prince. It seems that the Eighth Prince's wife did not expect this when she set up this trap.

Consort Wenxi already knew from Cui Liu's words that she was able to survive thanks to the Western doctor in the Ninth Prince's residence. If he really wanted to harm her and the Crown Prince, he wouldn't have risked his life for nothing.

"Your Majesty, I believe this matter has nothing to do with Ninth Prince." Consort Wenxi also knelt down.

Yinzhen looked at the woman kneeling beside him with some surprise.

Kangxi waved his hand and looked at the palace maid, "If you see that eunuch again, will you recognize him?"

The young palace maid nodded, and Kangxi immediately looked at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen summoned Sixi, who was waiting outside the palace, and ordered him to bring in all the eunuchs he had brought from the palace so that the young palace maids could identify them.

The young palace maid looked around and shook her head, "There is no such person."

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with deep eyes and asked, "Are you sure all the eunuchs you brought are here?"

Yinzhen didn't know how many eunuchs he had brought with him. The only one he could remember was Sixi, who was by his side. The others were all chosen by Sixi.

He then looked at the other person's face and saw that the other person's face turned pale immediately after hearing these words, and he knelt down trembling.
