Uya was beaming with pride, almost humming a tune. Li Mama, standing nearby, also felt happy, finally able to avenge her niece.
Only Peach Heart remained as meek and obedient as ever.
The two women, master and servant, seemed unfazed, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. What they didn't know was that the person they would never suspect was Nail.
But their joy didn't last long. Soon, a palace maid came to report that Prince Yong had summoned the imperial physician and brought the princess back to health.
Upon hearing this news, Uya angrily smashed her cup. "Hmph! That Ulanara clan is really lucky; she didn't even die from all that."
Although Li Mama was also angry, she still had to soothe her mistress's emotions: "Your Highness, don't be angry. Even if Ulanara doesn't die this time, her body will be ruined, and it's uncertain how long she will live in the future!"
Sure enough, after listening to Li Mama's words, Wuya's mood improved slightly. Moreover, Li Mama was a capable person, always addressing Wuya as "Your Highness" and speaking very considerately, which made Wuya very happy.
"Alright, alright, you're right. This time, Ulanara's health is ruined, and she won't amount to anything anymore. Now that we've dealt with her, it's time to deal with Tongjia."
A deep, sinister voice echoed in the room. Even Granny Li couldn't help but shiver. She quickly lowered her head and gave a forced smile, echoing Wuya's words.
Yinzhen became suspicious and directly arrested four midwives for interrogation, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with them.
The princess consort has always been in good health. She was weak for a while after falling into the water, but she has recovered under the care of the imperial physician.
He was worried that twins would be difficult to deliver, so he specially invited the imperial physician to wait at the mansion. Before, the physician said that everything was normal when he took his pulse every day. How could something have suddenly gone wrong?
These suspicious points led Yinzhen to suspect that someone might be plotting to kill his wife.
While interrogating the four midwives, he glanced at his backyard, a place rife with incidents, where the concubines and princesses were the most likely targets.
Of course, Yinzhen didn't only suspect his concubines; he also had great suspicions about a certain person.
Granny Chen wasn't one to keep quiet. Su Peisheng had only scared them for a day, and before he could even resort to more drastic measures, she tremblingly revealed the whole plan without offering any resistance.
Su Peisheng was speechless. The interrogation was too easy; he almost thought the old woman was talking nonsense.
But the more he listened, the more alarmed he became. He never expected that this Granny Chen was indeed acting under someone's orders to deliberately harm the Fujin. This matter had been planned for several months and had only been carried out today.
Su Peisheng broke out in a cold sweat. If they succeeded and harmed the Fujin, wouldn't the master be furious? He, as a servant, would also be implicated.
Fortunately, God blessed her, and the princess was indeed lucky and survived without any major incidents. The little prince and princess were born healthy. Although there were some dangers, the outcome was still good.
After investigating every detail of the matter, Su Peisheng took the compiled account of the events and the evidence to his master.
Meanwhile, in the palace, Lady Wuya was plotting with Granny Li on how to deal with Lady Tongjia. Lady Wuya was in a good mood, thinking she had gotten rid of an annoying person, and the thought of seeing Lady Tongjia's fate soon made her even happier.
Tao Xin saw all of this; no scheme of the Wuya clan could escape Yun Yi's eyes.
Since she's determined to court disaster, Yunyi won't stop her. Of course, the more mistakes she makes, the less chance she'll have of turning things around in the future.
Having figured out what to do, Yunyi sent a message to Taoxin, instructing her to do as she was told.
When Yinzhen received the evidence presented by Su Peisheng, he naturally did not believe it immediately. He needed to investigate it further before he could present the evidence to the emperor.
Moreover, there are some tricky aspects to this. Even if they knew who did it, given Yinzhen's status, it would be difficult for him to do anything.
Only if Lady Tongjia steps forward can the mastermind be truly punished and justice be served for the Fujin.
Yinzhen's wait for the opportunity was not too late. In just half a month, before Yunyi had even finished her postpartum confinement, news came that Tongjia had encountered an accident.
At that time, Emperor Kangxi was still holding court when Liang Jiugong reported that the Imperial Noble Consort had encountered an accident. He quickly ended his court duties and rushed to Chengqian Palace.
Tongjia lay weakly on the bed, with some red marks on the corner of her mouth.
The imperial physician was taking Tongjia's pulse when Emperor Kangxi entered and anxiously asked, "Has he found anything wrong? What's wrong with the Imperial Noble Consort?"
The imperial physician was also extremely puzzled. He had just examined the Imperial Noble Consort's pulse and found no problems at all. The Consort was in excellent health and had no minor ailments whatsoever.
With so many people witnessing it, it was clear that something had indeed happened to the Imperial Noble Consort. This puzzled Imperial Physician Wang, and he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Faced with the Emperor's question, he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Lady Tongjia was not one to make things difficult for anyone. She gave Granny Zhou a wink, and the latter understood immediately, leading Physician Wang and the others in the room out.
After everyone else had left, Tongjia Shi nimbly got up from under the covers, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever.
If Kangxi still couldn't figure out that his cousin was just putting on an act for others at this point, then he wouldn't be able to become emperor.
Emperor Kangxi didn't know why his cousin did this, but he knew that something must have happened, otherwise his cousin wouldn't have done it.
Kangxi stopped his cousin, who was about to bow and apologize, and instead of holding her accountable for deceiving him, he asked her to explain the reason.
Tongjia slowly began to speak, explaining the cause, process, and reasons behind the matter clearly.
The incident stemmed from Wuya's plan to deal with Tongjia, which was then reported to Tongjia by her maid.
Kangxi was both angry at Wuya's audacity and relieved that a sensible palace maid had reported the matter; otherwise, his cousin would have...
"Hmph! Uya is truly a woman with a heart of stone. Not only did she harm the fourth prince's wife, but she also wants to harm you, my cousin. Even though you're under house arrest, you still can't behave yourself!"
Emperor Kangxi was truly disgusted with Lady Uya. He never expected that even after being demoted and confined, she would still not repent and would try to harm others.
It seems I really can't keep her here, otherwise who knows what bad things she might do in the future? With such a birth mother, her children will be ashamed in the world.
