"At that time, Consort Guoluo was walking with Consort Zhaojia, and behind them were Consort Wuya, Consort Shi, and Consort Ulanara, I think that's who it was." Consort Li tried her best to recall the people behind Consort Guoluo.

"Consort Shi, where were you standing at that time?" Consort Tong was surprised to find that one of her people was behind Consort Guo Luoluo. She wondered if it was her who did it.

"Your Majesty, I was on the left with Consort Ulanara. We were discussing flowers together. The flower was called... it was called..." Consort Shi couldn't remember what flower it was.

“It’s a magnolia flower!” Consort Ulanara reminded her.

"Yes, it was a magnolia flower, so I didn't notice Consort Guo Luoluo's situation. By the time I realized what was happening, something had already gone wrong." She was still startled, after all, there was already some blood under Consort Zhao Jia's body.

"Then on the far right is Consort Wuya. We don't know if Consort Guoluo and Consort Zhaojia have any grudges, but we do know that they have a grudge against Consort Wuya," Consort Wang exclaimed, as if she had discovered something earth-shattering.

"Consort Wang, don't make false accusations. Although I don't get along with Consort Guo Luoluo, it was just a few words. Besides, I picked a rose at that time and had Chu Yao wear it in her hair. It's still in her hair now."

After speaking, Consort Wuya took off the fresh rose from her head. Flowers in the Imperial Garden should not be picked indiscriminately, but who cares about such a small matter now?

"Liang Jiugong, go investigate." Kangxi suddenly spoke, startling all the concubines.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!" Wanyi followed the popular greeting.

"Get up! How is Consort Zhaojia?" Kangxi walked in, just as the imperial physician came out.

"Your Majesty, Consort Zhaojia's pregnancy has been saved, but she must rest in bed." The imperial physician ultimately managed to save Consort Zhaojia's pregnancy.

"That's good. Thank you, Imperial Physician." Consort Tong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the miscarriage hadn't occurred, there was still hope for the future. She was terrified that Consort Zhaojia might not survive, which would leave a stain on her reputation.

"Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong hurriedly walked in and swung on a swing towards Kangxi.

"What is it?" Kangxi thought to himself, "Didn't I send him to investigate? Why is he back so soon?"

"Your Majesty, just now when I was about to interrogate the maids in the Imperial Garden today, I found a palace maid hanging herself in her room. The other maids said she was the one standing behind Consort Guo Luoluo." Liang Jiugong is fine too! The investigation has already gone cold.

"Yes, I do remember there was an unfamiliar palace maid by my side. I thought she was Consort Ulanara's servant, so I didn't pay any attention to her." Consort Ulanara seemed to have just remembered.

"How could that be, Your Majesty? I only brought Chu Yao with me. How could there be another one? I thought it was Consort Ulanara's!" She wouldn't say that she had arranged for that person to die without anyone to diagnose the problem.

"Did the palace maid search the area? Did she find anything unusual?" Consort Tong knew that Consort Zhaojia was not seriously injured, so these matters could be considered minor or major.

"Your Highness, there is nothing amiss; it was indeed suicide." Liang Jiugong naturally had the palace maid thoroughly searched.

"This... the clues end here. Who was so cruel as to harm Consort Zhaojia? Your Majesty, you must seek justice for Consort Zhaojia! She is truly pitiful." Consort Shi said, throwing a flirtatious glance at Emperor Kangxi, but Emperor Kangxi's heart was not with her, and Consort Shi's schemes were in vain.

"Guo Luoluo is confined to her quarters for two months, and Consort Tong is punished with three months' salary. This matter ends here."

Emperor Kangxi directly imposed a punishment, after all, he didn't have much affection for Consort Zhaojia's unborn child, otherwise he wouldn't have let Consort Guoluo off so easily. However, if it were someone else, the outcome would have been different.

"This concubine accepts the punishment and thanks Your Majesty." Consort Guo Luoluo was very happy. She did not expect that she was so important in the Emperor's heart, comparable to the heir apparent.

“Your Majesty, this…” Consort Wuya was somewhat dissatisfied, not expecting that Kangxi would pick it up high and put it down gently.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Kangxi looked at Consort Wuya dangerously.

"No, His Majesty is wise and mighty, and most fair and just." Consort Wuya could not bear the emperor's chilling gaze.

"Everyone, disperse!" Kangxi watched Wanyi leave, thinking to himself that it had been a while since he had seen her, and he really missed her.

“Sister Wanyi, sometimes I wonder why I’m the only one who can’t get pregnant. Do you think if I were pregnant, the Emperor would let me give birth and raise the child?” After leaving Zhongcui Palace, Consort Borjigit did not go back, but followed Wanyi to Yongshou Palace.

"How could I possibly guess what the Emperor is thinking! However, if the Empress Dowager speaks up, you can still adopt a princess from a low-ranking concubine." Wanyi said tactfully, "The prince is still his own flesh and blood, so don't even think about it; it's just wishful thinking."

"Separation of flesh and blood is too cruel. I still want to give birth to one myself, even if it is a princess."

Consort Borjigit knew that this was just wishful thinking; how could Emperor Kangxi possibly allow another prince from the Khorchin, especially one with Khorchin blood?

“Sister Borjigit, lower-ranking concubines are not capable of raising princesses and princes, and they will have to go to the princes’ homes. If a higher-ranking concubine were to raise them, the birth mother would probably be willing. This would raise the princess’s status. Besides, there is a saying that childbirth is a life-or-death situation. If the birth mother were to die by accident, the emperor would still find a foster mother for the child.”

Adoption was commonplace in the imperial harem, and there were even cases of women scheming to the death of their own mothers in order to have a child.

"Alright, but I'm thinking a bit too much." Before, she often held the Third Prince in Shou Kang Palace. His chubby, innocent, toothless smile melted her heart. After Consort Ma Jia took the prince away, she felt empty inside and began to have the idea of ​​having a child.

"There will be a way, it's all about how you do it. Come and have some pastries, these are your favorites." Wanyi was afraid that she would get stuck on this, so she quickly tried to distract her.

"Granny, what do you think if I adopt Consort Zhaojia's child?" Consort Tong thought that since no one was pregnant at the moment, it wouldn't be bad for her to protect Consort Zhaojia and raise her child.

"Your Majesty need not be anxious. We do not yet know whether it is a boy or a girl. If we mention it to the Emperor, what if it is a princess?" In Tong Mama's mind, princesses are the most useless in the harem, and when they grow up, they will only be destined to be minor officials.

"I have already consulted Imperial Physician He, and it is highly likely that Consort Zhao Jia's unborn child is a prince." She would not do anything without certainty.

"Is it true? But she just had a miscarriage. Even if she survives, could it affect the baby?" Granny Tong asked with some concern.

"There's nothing wrong with the dragon fetus. As long as it's properly cared for, it will surely be chubby and healthy when it's born." Consort Tong imagined herself holding a chubby and healthy prince, and as she sat on the phoenix throne in her phoenix robe, she couldn't help but laugh.
