She realized she had been set up...
The schemer already knew that she had bribed Consort Wan's maid to give Consort Wan a hallucinogenic drug, so she bribed the maidservant next to Consort Wan and turned the tables on her.
Slowly raising her head, Consort Liang suddenly laughed, her voice chilling, "Your Highness, I am inferior in skill and have nothing to say. I have no explanation. The Fifth Prince is of the Emperor's blood; what I did has nothing to do with him."
After saying that, Consort Liang rammed her head against a pillar.
Seeing this, Xu Lejin said coldly, "Quickly, stop Consort Liang!"
"、、"
Consort Liang's attempt to kill herself by hitting a pillar failed. Xu Lejin ordered that Consort Liang be imprisoned in the rear hall of Yonghe Palace. She then took evidence of Consort Liang's plot to harm Consort Wan to the Qianqing Palace to ask Emperor Kangxi for a decision.

"Um,"
Kangxi responded, and after a moment, said in a deep voice, "The Fifth Prince shall be moved to the Princes' Residence today, and shall be cared for by his wet nurse and palace servants."
Xu Lejin nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it immediately."
