Concubine Nianhulu avoided the question. It was indeed she who arranged this matter, but she had solved the consequences. Even if Kangxi wanted to investigate, he would not be able to find anything on her.

Thinking of this, she denied the matter without hesitation. After all, if she couldn't provide evidence to prove that she did it, Kangxi couldn't do anything to her, right?

"What is the emperor talking about? The Empress is the head of the imperial palace. As a concubine, I should pay more attention to her, but this does not give me any reason to harm her.

Also, since I have become a concubine, I will not be thinking about things that do not belong to me. Your Majesty, please do not say such words in the future. I dare not do that."

"Don't dare? Didn't you ask the Emperor to make the decision for you? Come, bring that maid up for the Imperial Concubine to see."

Concubine Nianhulu's heart was pounding. Mu Sili's words clearly meant that the person who drugged her had been caught. Could it be that the person had betrayed her?

That's impossible. Her family is still in her hands. She doesn't dare to gamble with their lives. The Queen must have said this on purpose to expose her true identity.

"This servant pays respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, the Noble Consort, the Emperor, and the Empress."

"Tell me what you know."

The maid explained the whole matter in just a few words. Concubine Nianhulu was furious because it was obvious that this was deliberately targeting her.

This maidservant is trying to kill herself, right? How dare she say that? Doesn't she think her family still has a chance to survive?

"What nonsense are you talking about, you lowly maid? When did I ever ask you to drug the Queen? I'm in awe of her and don't dare to harbor any ambition. Don't slander me.

Your Majesty, this person is a maid in Kunning Palace. She is the Queen's person and her words cannot be trusted. You cannot believe her words and think that I have harmed the Queen!

"I have been a well-behaved concubine since entering the palace. How could I dare to have such a vicious mind? If I were really so vicious, how could Second Prince survive?"

"Didn't Her Majesty send people to kill my family? Thanks to Her Majesty for sending people to protect them, otherwise I would be all alone now.

It is true that I was bribed by you before, but I am the Empress's person and I was pretending to surrender to you. You did not take action against the Second Prince, but you asked me to take action against the Empress.

Your Majesty treats me so well, how could I possibly murder her for a little profit? You think too little of me.

I had already informed Your Majesty about this matter when you asked me to find an opportunity to take action. Your Majesty was kind-hearted and did not punish me. Instead, you sent someone to look for my family.

If the people sent by Your Majesty had not arrived in time, I would have seen the corpses of my family members. Your Majesty, your cruelty really makes me look at you with dismay.

Your Majesty, every word this servant has said is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."

"Did you hear that? Do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"You've always been bothered by the fact that the position of Queen isn't yours, but have you ever thought about why you're the Queen? You're just a concubine's daughter, and you can't compare to a legitimate daughter.

If you consider that the Niuhuru clan is a big family and Ebilun is one of the four great ministers, you can at most get the position of a concubine. How can you sit on the position of a noble concubine?

I thought that giving you the position of Imperial Concubine would appease you, but I didn't expect that you were still jealous of the Queen. Even though you knew how important the child in the Queen's womb was to me, you still attacked her.

If it weren't for this maid's loyalty to the Queen, I'm afraid she would have had a miscarriage by now. What do you think I should do with you?"

Concubine Nianhulu looked at Kangxi with a pale face. She really didn't expect that Kangxi would directly conclude that it was her who attacked Mu Sili.

But she couldn't admit it. Once she admitted it, she would be doomed. Not only that, judging from the family's current attitude towards her, it would be impossible to save her.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it. I didn't do it. Please believe me!"

Seeing that Kangxi ignored her, she turned her attention to Mu Sili.

"Your Majesty, we entered the palace together. After all these years, you still don't know what kind of person I am? How could you misunderstand me because of the words of a palace maid?

Just like I said at the beginning, if I really wanted you dead, why didn't I just do it when you first entered the palace? You believe in me, right?

"Oh! I only believe in my own eyes and evidence. Your Majesty, I am tired. I probably won't be able to drink this chicken soup. I will ask Chunlan to send the chicken to the imperial kitchen later."

Mu Sili held Chunlan's hand and went into the inner room to rest. Then seven or eight dead chickens were brought out.

Every time one was sent out, Concubine Nianhulu's face became uglier, until the last one was sent away, and there was no trace of blood left on her face.

"Come here, take the imperial concubine away for interrogation. I now suspect she is involved in the death of the eldest prince. Investigate her thoroughly."

"yes."

Concubine Nianhulu was panicked. She had only attacked Mu Sili and had never attacked the younger princes. How could Kangxi give such an order? Did he want her to admit the crime?

"I didn't do it. I didn't do it. Your Majesty, I confessed that I ordered the maid to drug the Queen, but I never did anything to the eldest prince."

Namu Zhong stood up quickly, said something like "it's just a farce", and left with his men.

After she left, Kangxi had the imperial concubine, who was still chattering on and on about her affairs, dragged away. He certainly knew that Chengrui's death had nothing to do with her, and he had only said that to see Namu Zhong's reaction.

Now he is certain that Chengrui was killed by Namu Zhong, and the same goes for Chenghu, who was almost killed by her.

Although the late emperor did things he shouldn't have done, she has already taken revenge, and both the emperor and Concubine Dong E got what they deserved. What else is she dissatisfied with?

Huang Mam was right. Namu Zhong was a nuisance after all, and she was also hostile to the queen. It was time to find an opportunity to get rid of her.

In Linzhi Palace, Namu Zhong always felt that her health had become a little worse recently, but she could not find anything unusual. She could only attribute it to her old age and illness.

"The Imperial Concubine is really useless. I even sent people to help her from behind, but she still couldn't accomplish anything. After all, she is young and can only cause trouble instead of success.

The Emperor has already taken precautions against this matter. All the people on the Empress's side should be withdrawn. In addition, some people should be sent to Chuxiu Palace to find a way to get rid of the two younger ones.

Once the queen's child is the only one left in the palace, no matter how much the emperor likes her, he will not be able to protect her, and she will have to bear the blame for me.

At that time, I will find an opportunity to get rid of the second prince again. The emperor is the son of the late emperor. The late emperor died early. As a son, how can he not follow him?

By then, Dayu'er will be the only one left in the harem. I really look forward to her grief-stricken look. She will have to endure everything I have endured!"
