"Gege, you have a deep prejudice against Consort Dong E. In my opinion, Consort Rong must be a good person, otherwise she would have caused trouble when she was in favor a few years ago."

Xiaozhuang also thought about what happened in the past few years. Rongpin gave birth to five sons and one daughter in ten years, and she did not become arrogant because of her favor.

However, during those ten years, Concubine Rong had one baby born and one baby die, so she really had no capital to become arrogant because of her favor.

It’s different now. She is pregnant with at least three children. If it’s more, according to the royal saying that having more children means more blessings, even if Xuanye favors her alone, she, as the Empress Dowager, can’t say anything.

Therefore, the best solution is that Concubine Rong died of hemorrhage after giving birth.

"Su Ma, have someone start preparing now. I don't want to see a Rong concubine in the harem in half a year."

Su Malagu was helpless. She didn't want to do this, but she was a servant and could only obey. She hoped that the emperor could discover the princess's thoughts in time.

After Kangxi accompanied Mu Sili back to Zhongcui Palace, he pulled her up and down with a serious expression.

"I was wronged when I went to the Cining Palace just now. Why did the Queen Mother ask you to go to the Cining Palace for no reason and even mentioned that she wanted to adopt your unborn child?"

"I don't know, but I can feel that the Empress Dowager is looking at me strangely, as if she wants to eat me."

Kangxi was silent. He actually had a vague guess that the Queen Mother might want to control one or two princes so that they could seek benefits for Khorchin when they grew up.

He has grown up and is no longer the child who needed to rely on the support of the Queen Mother when he was young. The Queen Mother is also old and should enjoy her retirement. Why is she still so obsessed with power?

"Don't worry about her. I'm putting this here today. Just focus on taking good care of your pregnancy. From now on, you don't even need to pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine."

"Yes, I thank the Emperor."

Kangxi made the decision in his favor, but Xiaozhuang would not let it go. She was sure that Xiaozhuang would definitely take action when she gave birth.

As for how to start? Naturally, it is to remove the mother and keep the child, and the best time to start is during childbirth.

Since Empress Xiaozhuang had this idea, don't blame her for letting her stay in bed to rest first.

After Kangxi left Zhongcui Palace, Mu Sili contacted 9527.

"9527, Empress Xiaozhuang wants to leave her mother and keep her son. Do you have any way to keep her bedridden for a long time?"

[Yes, the host can buy the Soft and Boneless Pill in the system mall. After taking this pill, you will spend the rest of your life in bed.]

......

"Have you forgotten that I haven't opened the mall yet? But since you said that, doesn't it prove that you have a way?"

[Yes, currently the host can spend double points and I will help you purchase it.]

"Purchasing agent?"

You could say that.

There is really no other way now. I must take down Xiaozhuang first. Otherwise, it will be a small matter if my mission is difficult to complete, but losing my life will be a big deal!

"How much is that Soft and Boneless Pill you mentioned?"

[Host, please order in bottles. Five Soft Boneless Pills per bottle, priced at 5 points. Since the host has not opened the mall, the system will spend double points on the purchase, deducting 10 points, leaving the host with 50 points.]

Looking at the white porcelain bottle that suddenly appeared in the space, Mu Sili fell silent. It seemed that it was not expensive after calculating it this way. Two points for a pill in exchange for her own safety was worth it.

But how can we get Empress Xiaozhuang to take this medicine?

"9527, do you have door-to-door delivery service?"

【？ 】

"The Cining Palace is like an iron barrel, no one can get in. How do you think I'm going to drug her?"

[The system does not provide this service, but since this is the host's first mission, I will take the initiative to help the host this time.]

"Thanks."

In less than a minute, 9527 reported that Mousli had put the medicine in the bird's nest that Empress Xiaozhuang used every day.

However, in order not to attract attention, the effective date of this medicine will be postponed to three days later. And the patient will not be bedridden directly, but will suddenly be unable to get up as if suffering a stroke.

Three days later, when Xiaozhuang was talking to the Empress Dowager about taking action after Mu Sili gave birth, she suddenly suffered a stroke.

All the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed to the Cining Palace to treat her, but because the incident happened suddenly, even though everyone tried their best to rescue her, they could only cure the symptoms of Empress Xiaozhuang's crooked face and mouth.

It wasn't that she couldn't move, but her legs and feet were too weak to stand, because even standing for a moment would cause a piercing pain to sweep through her body.

It is said that Xiaozhuang was born into a noble family in Khorchin and had some skills.

But she had lived a life of luxury in the palace for many years and could no longer bear any hardship, so she naturally became bedridden.

"Xuanye, my illness came on suddenly. I don't believe I would have a stroke all of a sudden. Please investigate me thoroughly. I want to know who attacked me."

"I will investigate. Madam, take good care of yourself."

Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with a gloomy face. He had already asked the imperial physician and was confirmed that Xiaozhuang was not poisoned.

But she refused to give in, insisting that she was in good health and could not have suffered a stroke, and she insisted that Kangxi get to the bottom of it.

Moreover, she intentionally or unintentionally pointed the finger at Rongpin as the person who poisoned her, which made Kangxi very annoyed.

Rongpin has been staying in Zhongcui Palace for several days without leaving the palace. Why won’t the Queen Mother let her go?

Moreover, he also sent Liang Jiugong to ask the patrolling imperial guards. Not to mention Concubine Rong, even the palace maids serving in Zhongcui Palace would not go out if they could. How could they possibly drug her!

Although Kangxi apparently agreed to investigate the matter with Xiaozhuang, he had already tacitly assumed that she had suffered an accidental stroke due to her old age. After all, Xiaozhuang was 66 years old and not young anymore.

So, Kangxi just let the matter go, and even though Xiaozhuang had people secretly investigate, they couldn't find out anything.

But she just blamed this incident on Mu Sili. She had a woman's intuition that Mu Sili did it. Even though she had no evidence, she still believed so.

The fact that all of Depin's relatives were beheaded and other innocent clansmen were exiled to Ningguta dealt her a great blow. In an instant, she felt as if she had aged more than ten years.

In order to survive, she pretended to be crazy in Yonghe Palace, which made Concubine Zhang Jia, who lived in the same palace with her, very angry.

Depin believed that Kangxi only attacked her family and not her because he was nostalgic and had feelings for her.

However, what she didn't know was that the reason Kangxi didn't take action against her was simply because she was pregnant, and the day the child was born would be the day of her death.

She is still dreaming of being made a concubine after the baby in her belly is born. She believes that Kangxi is affectionate towards her, so even if the Uya family is gone, she can still change her identity and be made a concubine.

However, when she gave birth to a princess, she almost strangled the child to death.
