"Tell me who sent you. You're coming with me to the Imperial Household Department."
As soon as Xiao Dengzi finished speaking, the unfamiliar eunuch immediately opened Xiao Dengzi's hand and disappeared in a flash.
On the other side, a palace maid crouched down and walked to the east side hall of Yongshou Palace. She threw something through the window and under the bed in the bedroom. Seeing that the task was completed, the maid quickly walked towards the main hall. Just then, Tianxiang, who was in the tea room, saw the maid's back.
At the same time, a third-class palace maid sneaked into the bedroom from the east side hall of Qixiang Palace and secretly put a package into the dressing table.
What are you doing there?
Ya Xian was a second-class palace maid by Consort Li's side and one of Consort Li's confidantes. Today, she was responsible for guarding the East Side Hall. She thought she would go out for a while to see if there were any treacherous maids. Unexpectedly, she actually caught one.
"Sister Yaxian, I just came in to take a look. I've never seen so many good things before," Chun'er said calmly, suppressing her panic.
"Heh, no need to say more, men take Chun'er away."
After the eunuchs took Chun'er away, Ya Xian searched the dressing table and found the package, intending to deal with it when her mistress returned. Both Ya Xian and Si Yu were trained by Consort Li's grandfather and specifically placed by Consort Li's side.
Meanwhile, in the rear hall of Zhongcui Palace, someone was also planning to cause trouble, but it was thwarted by the palace maids around Consort Li.
"Your Majesty, it must be due to the inhalation of musk that the Empress suffered a miscarriage." When he took Consort Tong's pulse, he also discovered a small amount of harmful drugs in her body, which he suspected was musk.
"What? Liang Jiugong, investigate this thoroughly!" Upon hearing that it was musk, Kangxi immediately flew into a rage and ordered Liang Jiugong to investigate completely.
Sochorun Mansion
Fucha Yunxin Wanyi's mother was very happy to receive the things her daughter had sewn, but she also secretly scolded her for being so willful. Wasn't it a waste to use such an important secret agent to send out these things? However, the smile on her face never stopped.
When Suo Zhuolun Akuer Wanyi's father returned home that evening, he heard his wife talking about it and immediately thought of a secret his daughter and he had once shared.
"Yunniang, go and bring out everything Wan'er handed over, let me see it," Akur said anxiously.
"Yes, I'll get it right away." Seeing the nervous Akur, Lady Fucha hurriedly went to get it as well.
"These are all." Lady Fucha placed the items on the table.
"Give me the scissors."
Akur saw the familiar embroidered bag. It was an embroidered item similar to a headband, but the embroidery surface was double-layered, and it could hold things inside. It contained the strange ideas that the original owner had when she was learning embroidery as a child. She also told Akur not to tell her mother, Lady Fucha, so this matter left a deep impression on Akur.
"Here you are, sir."
Fucha always listened to Akur, because Akur did not have any concubines, but he had two obedient servants.
There are four headbands in total. Two of them contain something: one contains two pieces of paper, and the other contains four pills.
"Great, then our family is going to soar to new heights."
Akur read through the text quickly and was very pleased. He then put the four pills into two bottles and instructed a trusted person to deliver them to his son in San Francisco. He kept the other two pills for himself and went straight to the estate to make arrangements without even going to sleep.
"My lord," said Xiao Dengzi, kneeling down, with Tianxiang beside him.
"But what happened?"
As soon as Wanyi returned to Yongshou Palace, she looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, puzzled.
“My lord, I have failed in my duty. About two quarters of an hour ago, a young eunuch I didn’t recognize tried to distract me by using my lord’s name. I saw through his trick, but he still managed to escape. I am useless. Please punish me, my lord.” After saying this, Xiao Dengzi kowtowed deeply.
"It's not your fault. They came prepared. Get up!"
Wan Yi guessed that someone might do something bad, but she didn't expect that someone was actually plotting against her. She just didn't know what their purpose was.
"Your Highness, I saw a palace maid come out from behind and head towards the main hall. She might be one of the cleaning maids for the main hall." Tianxiang also told Wanyi what she knew.
Wanyi thought to herself with doubt, then walked into the dormitory. Seeing the open window, she thought to herself, "This is bad."
"Quickly, come in and check what's been added. Don't miss a single place."
As soon as Wan finished speaking, Hongxiu Tianxiang and Xiao Dengzi quickly helped to check, while Ye Fang and Ye Ming waited outside.
"My lord, look."
Before long, Hongxiu discovered a package under the couch. Wanyi picked it up and immediately knew what it was: musk. The person behind this was ruthless. Consort Tong had just been found to have been poisoned by musk, and here in her palace, a large package appeared.
"What should we do, Your Highness?" Xiao Dengzi asked Wanyi anxiously.
"Hongxiu, immediately bring out all the things stored in the small storeroom and put them out. Xiao Dengzi's contacts have all gone underground recently. There's going to be a big commotion in the palace." Wanyi's brain worked quickly, and she immediately analyzed what was going to happen next.
"Yes, sir." Little Dengzi replied and went out.
Hongxiu Tianxiang and Ye Fang went to take out the items from the small storeroom. They were all unusual. Wanyi had drunk the spiritual spring water, and the gifts or items sent by the Imperial Household Department were strange. There were also items with different smells. Hongxiu put them all into the small storeroom. There was another storeroom where Wanyi's things were kept, and Ye Ming guarded outside.
Wanyi put the musk in her hand into her spatial storage. The musk was so strong that it looked like the best quality. Just a little bit would cause a pregnant woman to miscarry. Now she had a whole bag of it, so she was the one who made a profit.
Wanyi didn't take any special precautions, probably because she had damaged her body before, which is why she couldn't get pregnant so quickly. In her previous life, she spent a year recuperating at Yonghe Palace before getting pregnant. It seems she will have to wait a while longer, and she should get pregnant earlier than in her previous life.
Just as Wanyi finished arranging everything, Ye Ming's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Wei from the Emperor's side has arrived."
"Please come in quickly." Wanyi put down her cup and stood up.
"This servant greets Consort Suo Zhuolun."
Wei Zhu and his entourage bowed to Wan Yi. Wei Zhu was followed by several eunuchs and a royal physician.
"Greetings, Eunuch Wei." Wanyi gave Wei Zhu a half-bow.
“Consort Suo Zhuolun, this servant has come to search the palace on His Majesty’s orders. I hope Consort Suo Zhuolun will do me a favor.” Wei Zhu’s attitude was extremely respectful. The imperial physician Qi behind her couldn’t help but look up at Wan Yi. Thinking that this concubine was the emperor’s new favorite, he immediately became more serious and thought that he would be more careful during the examination.
