Chapter 751 My brain is out of control.
The imperial physician was also startled and immediately leaned forward to smell it, then dipped his little finger in the scent and tasted it.
Then his expression turned a bit strange, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, this should be shrimp powder."
"Shrimp noodles?" Emperor Kangxi frowned and looked down at the warm wine.
Wen Jiu immediately said, "Your Majesty, shrimp powder is used for daily freshness. Jiuer also gave Your Majesty some shrimp paste before, which is similar to that. Come to think of it, Your Majesty used it yesterday."
Emperor Kangxi patted his head in a daze and said, "Ah, I understand. I asked you to bring this thing to me."
Wen Jiu nodded: "Exactly."
After saying this, Emperor Kangxi frowned and looked at Concubine Hui beside him: "When will you change your stupid temper?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment and immediately began to wipe away her tears: "Your Majesty, I really didn't know. I have always been a straightforward person, as you know. Sometimes my brain just doesn't obey. I...I apologize to Concubine De right now! Concubine De, please don't take it personally. I was just worried about the Empress Dowager. That's why I wronged Concubine Wen. Tomorrow I will bring a generous gift to apologize."
Defei glanced at Huifei and finally gritted her teeth. She put on this stupid face every day and acted domineeringly in the palace all day long, but the emperor could do nothing about it. After all, in the eyes of the emperor, she was still considered a simple-minded woman.
"Sister, you're talking so lightly," De Fei went over to help Wen Jiu up, patting her head. "My dear child, you're scared this time, aren't you? If you're really wronged, you'll probably go to the Ministry of Punishment today. From now on, several children will have another mother who has been to the Sacred Heart Temple. Even the teacher's face will be lost.
Don't be afraid, the Emperor will definitely give you justice."
When the emperor heard this, he knew that Concubine De was angry.
Looking at Concubine Hui again, she couldn't help but frown. Concubine Hui had been provoking her from time to time these past two days. It was clear that Concubine De had suffered some injustice.
He immediately glanced at Concubine Hui and said, "Go back quickly! You're giving me a headache. Stay in the palace and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to leave the palace without my order."
After saying that, he waved to the person next to him.
After hearing this, Concubine De still felt a little unsatisfied. If she succeeded, Jiu'er would carry the stain for the rest of his life, and the fourth son would also have a reputation for not managing the household properly.
However, she also knew that the Emperor would not punish her severely now. He had already given Concubine Hui no respect during the New Year and had simply confined her to her house, which was already a severe punishment. She would surely not get any advantage if she continued to make trouble.
Without even glancing at Concubine Hui, she simply brushed off her guard and said, "Your Majesty, I... don't want to get entangled with Concubine Hui any longer. I haven't even seen the Empress Dowager yet, and I'm truly uneasy. Whether I've been wronged or not doesn't matter; the Empress Dowager's health is most important."
Emperor Kangxi immediately glanced at Concubine Hui who was still standing beside him and said, "Why don't you leave quickly?"
Then, he personally took Concubine De's hand and went into the house.
On this side, when Concubine Hui walked out of the Cining Palace, the anger on her face gradually dissipated, and she just glanced back with a cold look.
"It's a bargain for them."
Nanny Wang beside him also had a somewhat stern expression on her face. She lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty's plan was flawless, but I didn't expect Concubine De to be so protective of the warm wine. If she hadn't resisted, we would have already captured her. I guarantee that I can slip something into her."
Concubine Hui shook her head: "Not necessarily. The wine warming technique is quite skillful. I am really worried that you might fail.
It seems that we need to re-evaluate them."
"My Lady, if this is so difficult, would you please send a letter to the Lord?"
Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes. "He doesn't need to take action against these people. However, the letter still needs to be delivered. The eldest brother is so incompetent, there are some things that cannot be accomplished by relying on him."
"Yes," Nanny Wang replied, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. The Emperor is still on your side, and staying in the courtyard right now isn't a bad idea."
Concubine Hui casually brushed her hair. "Your Majesty, you think I'm stupid and incapable of such calculations. I really didn't expect that the eldest brother has really taken on my personality. I heard that he's been close to the Fourth Master lately?"
"My Lady, if you get closer, it would be a good thing if you could truly gain the Fourth Master's trust. What do you think?"
Concubine Hui curled her lips: "Of course, I just hope that nothing bad will happen to him..."
Halfway through her words, Concubine Hui's voice stopped abruptly, and Hall was so angry that his voice became louder.
"You bastard! You're already so old and all you know is to seduce the emperor. The emperor actually cherishes that little bitch, and I didn't mean to do that! Why do you want to punish me?"
After saying this, he glanced at Nanny Wang beside him imperceptibly.
Nanny Wang's expression suddenly changed as she glanced at the young eunuch behind her. The young eunuch disappeared in a short while.
Nanny Wang said earnestly, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. The Emperor still cares about you. He won't punish you severely. Let's stay in the courtyard for a few days. Once the Emperor's anger subsides, everything will be fine."
As they were talking, they entered the Moon Gate.
Not long after, the young eunuch came trotting back: "Your Majesty, it's the Empress Dowager Shuhui. After all, she was quite far away, so she probably didn't hear it."
Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't say anything. She took a look from a distance and left with her people.
On the other side of the Shuhui Imperial Concubine, the nanny beside her casually glanced at her and said, "Taiwanese Concubine, it's Concubine Hui who is dissatisfied and is muttering about it. Should we go and take a look?"
Empress Dowager Shuhui shook her head. "No need. Let's go see my elder sister. This Concubine Hui has always been like this. I'm afraid she will cause trouble again in the future."
The nanny responded and immediately supported Concubine Shu towards the Cining Palace in the Empress Dowager's palace.
In the Cining Palace.
Wen Jiu, along with Emperor Kangxi, Concubine De, and all the female members of the family, must be guarding the Empress Dowager.
It didn't take long before he saw the legendary Empress Dowager Shuhui.
This person is the Empress Dowager's biological sister. Even though they both married into the harem and shared the same husband, their sisterly relationship was very close.
It is said that these two people have never been favored, but they have become the two people with the highest status and the most honorable identities in the harem.
When Empress Dowager Shuhui arrived, even Emperor Kangxi stood up and came to pay his respects.
As soon as she came in, she spoke a few words to the Emperor, then went to the Empress Dowager and asked the Imperial Physician, "How is it? When will my sister wake up?"
"Replying to the Concubine, the Queen Mother is just in a coma now. If she is given an acupuncture needle, she will wake up in a short time."
"How dare you harm your sister's health?" Empress Dowager Shuhui looked at Emperor Kangxi again and said, "Your Majesty, don't you agree?"
Kangxi naturally responded with a smile. Who in this world would dare to harm the empress dowager?
Even the emperor spent the first day of the new year staying with the empress dowager.
It was not until the sunset climbed up the night sky that the empress dowager slowly opened her eyes amid the expectant gazes of everyone.
"Oh, why are so many people here?" The Empress Dowager let Emperor Kangxi and Consort Shuhui help her up. After stretching her muscles, she suddenly said, "Oh, I had a really good sleep."
