When Huifei and Yinreng rushed to the Yiku Palace, they ran into Kangxi.
After some greetings, they walked into the inner hall one after another.
"What's going on? How could I be poisoned in my own palace?"
Kangxi was speechless.
Huanxi knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty has caught a cold these days, so she's been taking herbal decoctions three times a day. She was almost getting better, but today she suddenly vomited blood. We called the imperial physician and found out she was poisoned."
"I have ordered the palace to be sealed and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
Concubine Hui felt that this girl Huanxi was very organized in her words and deeds.
Kangxi waved his hands irritably, "Doctor Hu, check carefully."
After Imperial Physician Hu agreed, he asked Huanxi to bring Concubine Yi's meals and medicine for the day.
After inspection, it was found that there was a very small amount of arsenic in the decoction, but after further inspection, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the medicine residue.
After carefully checking the medicine jar from top to bottom, they discovered that the arsenic was actually on the lid of the jar.
When the medicine is decocted, the heat will stir and the medicine on the lid will take effect.
Although this kind of poison may not kill the person instantly, if one takes a little arsenic every day, he will die of poisoning within a few days.
[This is truly a good idea and a good method.]
Kangxi was also shocked. His harem was indeed full of talented people.
Concubine Hui was so frightened that her hands, which were holding Ruixue, were shaking with fear.
Ruixue whispered, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. When I return, I will clean up the palace servants and make sure that no such villains will appear in our Chuxiu Palace."
This reminded Kangxi.
"Who prepared the medicine for your queen?"
Kangxi looked at Huanxi. Huanxi was stunned at first, then looked around and finally pointed at Uya in the corner, whose face was pale, eyes were shocked and panicked.
"It's Consort Wuya."
"Decoction of medicine should be done by a palace maid, why is it done by a concubine?"
Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia, who had rushed over after hearing the news, heard these words as soon as she entered the room and couldn't help but ask questions.
Huanxi hung her head and hesitated for a long time.
"This concerns the life and death of your queen, and you still refuse to tell the truth."
After Tong Jia sat down, she slammed the table. Frightened, Huanxi knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Because Concubine Wuya... always makes the Queen angry, when the Queen fell ill, she asked... asked Concubine Wuya to boil medicine..."
The words were vague, but the meaning was clear.
Concubine Yi used her illness to make trouble for Uya.
It was customary for concubines in the palace to attend to the sick, but this could only be done for the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress. Other concubines, even if they were the mistress of a palace, did not have the right to ask concubines or lower-ranking concubines to attend to their illnesses.
But if the subordinates want to please and try to curry favor with you, that’s another matter.
But the current situation clearly shows that it was Concubine Yi who first tormented Uya, and Uya's revenge came later.
Tong Jia glared coldly at Uya who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Uya, I didn't expect you to have such a skill. It seems that I really buried you in the end."
When Tong Jia heard about the poisoning, she couldn't help but think of the day she was poisoned. The damn Uya almost killed her, but in the end, a little palace maid took the blame.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed not what I did."
Uya was really panicked this time. It really wasn't her who did it. She did spit into the medicine jar, but she didn't poison it.
"Who else could it be but you? You are a habitual offender. You must be seeking revenge on Concubine Yi for tormenting you, so you resorted to this desperate measure."
Tong Jia glared at her coldly, then looked at Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, now that the evidence is solid, execute Wu Ya."
Uya was completely frightened.
"Your Majesty, this time it really wasn't me who did it."
"You mean, you were the one who poisoned the Imperial Concubine last time?"
It was rare for Concubine Hui to be smart, and when asked this question, Uya shut up again.
Kangxi was too lazy to listen to these women's chatter and looked at Liang Jiugong, "Search the palace."
Even if everyone is convinced that it was Uya who did it, in order to punish her, there must be solid evidence.
But after searching around, Liang Jiugong didn't find any clues, only a paper bag in Wu Ya's closet.
After inspection, it was discovered that the paper bag contained not arsenic but laxative.
Tonggiya was very unwilling to accept the fact that she failed to catch Uya hiding arsenic.
"Even if there's no arsenic, what's with this laxative? Who are you planning to give it to?"
At this time, Uya had breathed a sigh of relief and regained some of her sanity.
She said calmly, "Reporting to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, I have no idea where this medicine came from."
"Are you saying someone framed you? If it was a frame-up, why didn't they use poison instead of a laxative?"
Uya had no way to defend herself.
The main thing is that this packet of laxatives was not hers, and she was not the one who put the arsenic in Concubine Yi's body.
It was not until this moment that she was absolutely certain that she had been framed.
But since the other party framed him, he didn't even put the arsenic in his bedroom, which is really puzzling.
"emperor."
Tong Jia looked at Kangxi.
"Although it cannot be proven that Concubine Yi was poisoned by Uya, she..."
Tong Jia wanted to say that this woman had a criminal record, but she couldn't say that.
"But she hid the laxatives, and she must have intended to harm someone. I feel that Wu Ya has evil intentions and is unworthy of being a concubine."
Uya looked at Tonggiya in astonishment.
Just punish her with house arrest. What does it mean to be unfit to be a concubine?
Are they going to... banish her to the cold palace?
no.
She swore on the day she entered the palace that since she had entered the palace in this life, she would become the superior person.
She wants to be the queen and the empress dowager!
Kangxi fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand. "Due to Uya's negligence, Yipin was poisoned. She is stripped of her rank as a concubine and demoted to a palace maid. If Uya dares to speak nonsense about the Fourth Prince's parentage again, she will be caned to death. Also, Yipin is released from house arrest. Let her take good care of her health."
Uya cried out that she was innocent, but no one believed her.
"Cough cough cough" Tong Jia coughed violently, and Kangxi looked over in the direction of the sound.
"You are not feeling well, go back and rest early."
Tong Jia forced a smile, and her arrogance just now seemed to be a flash in the pan.
"Fourth Prince hasn't seen the Emperor for a long time. I know the Emperor has been busy suppressing bandits in the south lately, so I don't dare send anyone to invite him."
Having said this, Kangxi nodded.
"Let's go. I'll go with you to Chengqian Palace."
Yinreng traveled with Kangxi together, so naturally he also went to Chengqian Palace.
Only after everyone had left did Concubine Guo step into the inner hall.
Looking at Concubine Yi on the bed, who looked pale but actually had no major problems, she nodded.
"It's done."
