Consort Ma Jia accidentally ate something cold, which caused a miscarriage. Half a month has passed since then.
I thought the matter was over, but I never expected...
What's even more unbelievable is that the whole thing was actually a play written and directed by Consort Ma Jia herself, and most importantly, Consort Zhao was so angry about it.
Something's definitely fishy going on.
With a furrowed brow, Xu Lejin pondered for a moment before asking softly, "Are the Emperor and Empress Dowager aware of this matter? What is their attitude towards it?"
She remembered that the last concubine, Chu Yun, who dared to scheme against Emperor Kangxi with her unborn child, had already passed away.
Consort Ma Jia is now pregnant with the emperor's child. She is using this pregnancy to scheme against Consort Zhao, to manipulate her, and to gain Emperor Kangxi's sympathy. It remains to be seen how Emperor Kangxi will deal with Consort Ma Jia.
"Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty was furious. If it weren't for the fact that Consort Ma is pregnant with the Emperor's child, His Majesty would have severely punished her to uphold the order of the harem."
Ru Hua hesitated for a moment, then continued, "After learning about this, the Empress Dowager sighed helplessly and sent Granny Su Ma to Zhongcui Palace to severely reprimand Consort Ma Jia. She also ordered the Imperial Household Department to send top-quality tonics to Consort Zhao's palace and instructed the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital to carefully treat Consort Zhao."
Xu Lejin nodded gently.

The power of the palace is temporarily handed over to Consort Nara of Yanxi Palace, Consort Li of Xianfu Palace, Consort Wanyan of Changchun Palace, and Consort Guoluo of Yongshou Palace, who will jointly manage the affairs.
Once Consort Zhao's health improves, the power of the palace will be returned to her.
Upon hearing Ru Hua's report, Xu Lejin smiled knowingly and said softly, "Interesting, truly interesting. Consort Nara, Consort Li, and Consort Wanyan are one thing, but Consort Guoluo?"
"If I remember correctly, Consort Guo Luoluo served the Emperor for less than a year before he appointed her to assist in managing the six palaces. Consort Guo Luoluo was truly favored by the Emperor."
