So, was he the target from the very beginning? Was he a rebel? Or a member of the White Lotus Cult?
Knowing that he and the Empress were in love! So...
Qiu Shi stayed by Xue Li's bedside, her eyes red and swollen from crying, while keeping a close eye on the servants coming and going!
"Your Majesty, these were found on these palace servants! Some were already half burned but we stopped them in time..." Chunhua rushed in with her people, followed by a little maid carrying some things.
A group of people were kneeling in the courtyard, all of them bound hand and foot!
Imperial Physician Duan examined and smelled each of the purses, paper bags, and handkerchiefs presented to him, then leaned closer to smell the ones belonging to the palace maids, eunuchs, and old women, before letting out a deep sigh!
His brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, these two packets contain the medicine for preventing the birth of an heir. Their quality is extraordinary; their efficacy, the method of administration, and the properties of the medicine are all extremely rare—" Another imperial physician, Sun, looked at the remaining dregs in the two medicine packets, his eyes filled with fervor, and began to speak at length...
The younger imperial physicians following behind hurriedly pulled the person away.
Physician Wang: What kind of time is this to still be researching medicinal properties? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Σ(?д?|||)??
Emperor Kangxi's brows were tightly furrowed, and his young face was filled with a chilling aura!
"Your Majesty, these few medicines, individually, are all good medicines, even calming and nourishing, but when combined with other ingredients, they become highly poisonous! This..." After smelling the palace maids and eunuchs for a while, Imperial Physician Duan suddenly spoke up, remembering that he had read about it in a book!
Unexpectedly, such a drug really exists in the world; it can kill without leaving a trace!
"What are the symptoms when combined?" Kangxi's face was grim, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
"It's like a common cold! If a child uses it, they will surely die within half a month! If an adult uses it, they will be bedridden for years and their lifespan will be shortened!" The imperial physician said solemnly.
"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly! Several of them are servants of the young princes and princesses! They are trying to harm the Empress and the young masters!" Chunhua knelt on the ground, crying her heart out.
Emperor Kangxi angrily threw down the jade pendant in his hand! Then he suddenly laughed: "Excellent! Excellent! What a grand gesture!"
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong with bloodshot eyes!
The servants who were serving them were trembling with fear.
Outside Yongshou Palace, many concubines were waiting with their maids by their sides. Consort Tong rolled her eyes and supported her head maid, Qingzhu, rolling her eyes endlessly!
Emperor Kangxi, annoyed, ordered them all to go back!
The imperial harem was suddenly filled with panic!
Anyone with connections knows what's going on. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have both arrived.
When the Empress Dowager heard the cause of the matter, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
She didn't feel sorry for the Empress; she felt sorry for her Emperor Xuan Ye and her great-grandson!
Because of this incident, the Empress Dowager also developed a dislike for Shirley.
Many people were dragged out of Yongshou Palace, and Kangxi clearly realized that this was the work of powerful aristocratic families.
He'd already cleaned it up once, and there were still so many lackeys!
And that secret combination of medicines—only a powerful and influential family could afford it!
Emperor Kangxi twirled the jade thumb ring in his hand, wondering which family it belonged to!
That evening, Qingniao, the leader of the secret guards, and Li Dequan both sent messages.
For the first time, Kangxi realized just how audacious and powerful those servants in the Imperial Household Department were!
Kangxi then looked at the information that his secret guards had found.
The Tongjia and Hesheli clans vaguely bear the shadow of the White Lotus sect!
Brilliant tactics, brilliant calculation!
For the first time, Kangxi harbored hatred towards his maternal family. Over the years, thanks to his mother, the Empress Dowager, he had shown great favor to the Tong family!
And the Hesheli family, thanks to their support and cooperation!
Whether it was the successors or the Hesheli clan, they all forgot who the real master was!
Despite his speculations, when the truth was confirmed, Emperor Kangxi was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed and his vision blurred!
The two families he trusts most!
He knew they were after his children and the queen; he was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire!
No, there are rebels in the palace!
Those people are being used without even realizing it!
A bunch of idiots! Utterly foolish! They really screwed him over! Including the Queen...
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he trembled all over. He took some calming medicine before he made the arrangements.
The princes were surrounded by his people.
The Yongshou Palace has also changed its staff!
Even so, an inexplicable anger was still rising in my heart!
Kangxi sent several Kubu to begin frantic training, and he couldn't help but want to kill them!
The next day, after finishing his court session, Emperor Kangxi visited Yongshou Palace again.
He is currently experiencing conflicting emotions towards Sherry. He knows she is innocent, but it is also because of her that he has suffered as a result!
But I still can't let her go!
After asking, he instructed everyone in Yongshou Palace: "Don't let your empress know... just say the child will come again!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
Kangxi went to see the children again. The children were lively and cute. When they saw him, they waved their little hands and showed a toothless smile.
There was another one whose eyes darted around, observing everyone while blowing bubbles.
The little princess suddenly grabbed at the jade pendant at his waist. Kangxi looked at her cute little hand and his heart melted.
He personally untied the jade from her hand and then asked Liang Jiugong to bring a few more pieces of jade.
Liang Jiugong sent people down.
Kangxi looked at the three babies, who were just as adorable as their mother!
Kangxi gave the servants a final instruction and then left.
Sherry slept until the afternoon of the next day before waking up.
Sherry: Should I act blankly or hysterically? ⊙▽⊙
System: ...Just do whatever you're good at?! And you're getting cocky?
