Liang Jiugong led his men to the Cold Palace.
Originally, Emperor Kangxi had confined Lady Uya to Yonghe Palace, but she cried and screamed every day, disturbing Consort Zhangjia, who also lived in Yonghe Palace.
Zhangjia pleaded with Consort Yi, who then consulted with Emperor Kangxi and directly sent Wuya to the Cold Palace.
When Leng Gong saw Liang Jiugong arrive, he immediately bowed and scraped as he opened the door for him.
Liang Jiugong went inside, followed by the little eunuch carrying a tray.
As soon as Liang Jiugong entered the door, he smelled a musty odor mixed with the smell of leftover food. Now that the weather is getting warmer, that smell hits you right in the head.
"Where is the commoner Wuya?" Liang Jiugong asked, covering his nose.
The head maid of the Cold Palace hurriedly said, "Steward Liang, Lady Wuya is in the room next door. This servant will show you the way right away!"
Liang Jiugong followed the head maid to the room where Wuya was.
The room was in a terrible state, and it was fortunate that the weather was warmer now, otherwise Uya would have frozen to death before Kangxi could deal with her.
As the door opened, sunlight streamed in, and some dust swirled in the air. Liang Jiugong waved his hand dismissively.
Uya sat in the corner with her knees drawn up to her chest. She only looked up when she heard footsteps. When she saw Liang Jiugong, she sneered, "Eunuch Liang, what brings you to this godforsaken place?"
"This servant greets Noble Lady Wuya!" Liang Jiugong flicked his whisk and bowed to Lady Wuya.
"Oh dear! Look at my mouth, I really deserve to be punished!" He slapped himself a few times as he spoke. "I'm such a pig-brain, I've already forgotten that His Majesty has demoted you to a commoner! Please forgive me!" Liang Jiugong said with a smile on his face.
Uya was immediately furious, her face turning red and her neck bulging. "What brings Eunuch Liang here?"
"Of course, I'm here to send you on your way!" Liang Jiugong said with a smile.
"It seems Tongjia Qingyao has woken up!" said Wuya.
"The Imperial Noble Consort is blessed by Heaven! May the Eternal Heaven protect her! The Imperial Noble Consort is now out of danger!"
"Heh! I never thought I'd still lose to that bitch Tong Jia Qingyao in the end!" Wu Ya said with a cold, hateful look in her eyes.
"Rather than saying you lost to the Imperial Noble Consort, it's more accurate to say you lost to Princess Hexue. You never expected to lose to a six-year-old child!" Liang Jiugong said sarcastically.
"Haha! Haha! That's right, I underestimated that little bitch He Xue!"
I've fallen to this state, and I'm afraid Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and Consort Yi must have played a significant role in it. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down! They look down on me, but how much more noble can their backgrounds be than mine?
"They're just willing to be Tong Jia Qingyao's lackeys. I want to see what their ultimate fate will be." Knowing she couldn't escape death today, Wuya spoke even more recklessly.
“You probably won’t get to see it! Why did you even try to sleep with me in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to just stay out of trouble?” Liang Jiugong said.
"People strive for higher positions, and with my looks and beauty, gaining favor is a piece of cake!" Uya said smugly.
"So now it's a piece of cake for the Emperor to execute you! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and drink it before you go! This servant still has to go back and report!" Liang Jiugong beckoned to the little eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch immediately stepped forward with the poisoned wine.
Although Uya had previously boasted that she was not afraid of death, when it came to actually dying, she became afraid. When she saw the cup of poisoned wine, her eyes were filled with fear, and she kept backing away.
"You damned eunuch, get out of my way! I need to see the Emperor!" Uya waved her hands wildly.
"I know! It's Tongjia Qingyao who's trying to harm me. She's afraid I'll gain the Emperor's favor. I'm going to tell the Emperor that you and Tongjia Qingyao are in cahoots!" Wuya said, pointing at Liang Jiugong, and then turned to run away.
Liang Jiugong, with his pinky finger raised, said, "Why aren't you stopping her yet!"
The eunuch brought by Liang Jiugong immediately restrained Wuya.
Liang Jiugong was very glad that he had brought a few more eunuchs with him this time; otherwise, if Wuya had run away, he would have lost his position as the chief steward.
"Liang Jiugong, how dare you harm me! The Emperor will not let you get away with this. I am the birth mother of the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Seventh Princess!" Uya struggled as the eunuch held her down.
"Haha! Haha!" Liang Jiugong said as if he had heard a joke. "You've probably forgotten that the Fourth Prince is now the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, and as for the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Princess, they are already the children of the late Consort Jing!"
And you are all alone, and have even been stripped of your royal title!
Liang Jiugong said to the little eunuch, "Stop dawdling, force it down her throat!"
The eunuch picked up the poisoned wine and poured it into Uya's mouth.
No matter how much Wuya struggled, she couldn't break free. Two eunuchs held her down from behind, while a eunuch in front of her forced her to drink poison. Soon, almost a whole cup of poison had entered her stomach.
"This is the poison His Majesty personally ordered to be prepared for you. Savor it slowly!" Liang Jiugong glanced at Wuya Shi, who had been thrown on the ground, and then led his men back to report.
Uya said with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty, you are truly heartless! You have no regard for the bond between us at all!"
Suddenly, with a creak, the door was pushed open.
Uya looked up at the person who walked in and said with difficulty, "Why are you here?"
