"hiss……"
"Ah, this..."
"Ah..." The concubines, clutching their handkerchiefs, looked on in surprise in twos and threes.
Of course, there were also those who gloated!
Kangxi suddenly turned his head to look at Xue Li, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and anger!
In the instant their eyes met, he noticed that Sherry's eyes were fixed on him.
"Ha! Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate the Imperial Household Department and the head of the Imperial Kitchen!" Xue Li lazily curved her lips.
"If I remember correctly, she was the servant you assigned to Uya, wasn't she?!" Kangxi frowned, his expression quite unpleasant.
"Oh? Does Your Majesty mean that the jade ruyi in my palace also belongs to Your Majesty?"
Sherry asked him with a smile, after all, it was a real birth control pill!
That was because the original owner's aunt in the palace said that the emperor cherished that jade ruyi extremely, so the original owner loved it so much that she played with it every day.
By the way, that aunt was someone bestowed upon her by Emperor Kangxi to help her handle palace affairs.
Playing with it for too long is tantamount to having no offspring!
Kangxi's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the ambiguous smile in Xue Li's eyes, and his hand clenched the ring tightly.
“It is indeed time to investigate and see if this servant’s surname is Wuya or Tongjia… If it is found that he is suspected of plotting to harm the imperial heir, then his entire family should be executed!” Xue Li’s eyes were filled with murderous intent and contempt.
Cui'er, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up, her face filled with fear and panic. She had forgotten that she was not allowed to look directly at her master!
"This matter can be discussed later—" Kangxi said, pinching the jade pendant at his waist and closing his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly! Neither I nor the Tong family should bear this fabricated crime!" Xue Li turned around and knelt on the ground with a solemn expression.
Emperor Kangxi looked surprised and confused, and several of his concubines hurriedly knelt down as well.
Cui'er's face was deathly pale, and she was kneeling so hard she was about to collapse!
Seeing her reaction, Kangxi looked directly at Liang Jiugong. Cui'er was covered by Liang Jiugong and taken away!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Consort Wuya has given birth to a prince. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
After what seemed like an eternity, a wet nurse hurriedly came out with the swaddled baby and Granny Furong to announce the good news!
This was also indicated by Uya.
Kangxi's expression softened considerably, and he nodded. He was still thinking about the prince's future, after all, his cousin was the most qualified to be adopted...
"Your Majesty, Consort Wuya requests an audience with His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine!" Another maidservant hurriedly reported.
Kangxi looked puzzled, while Xue Li smiled.
Sherry: You're really tough, how come you're still alive?
A certain system: Isn't it better to be alive?
Sherry: Oh dear, I just remembered, those dumplings have a layer of oil on the outside, so they take half an hour to take effect. I made a mistake!
System: Thank goodness you made a mistake! That bastard emperor was giving you a hard time! If she didn't have you, she wouldn't be able to explain herself!
Sherry: You underestimate Kang Mazi's control over the harem! If he wants to investigate, there's nothing he can't find out!
System: You have such a high opinion of him?
Sherry: No, it's just that I was originally thinking of finding a tall, long-legged, and skilled madman, but I found that time was too tight and it would affect the fun, so I decided against it!
A certain system: Holy crap ((???|||))
"Your Highness, I have given birth to the child. I am of lowly birth and dare not hope for anything else. I only beg Your Highness to—" Uya was pale-faced but still able to kneel on the ground!
"I can give birth myself, why should I raise your child?" Sherry said with a half-smile.
Uya was caught completely off guard by these words!
Kangxi looked at Xue Li with a complicated expression.
"Don't worry, sister, His Majesty is already thoroughly investigating the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Kitchen! Not a single rat in the gutter will escape! To plot against the imperial heir is a crime punishable by death! To slander the Imperial Concubine, ha!" Shirley threatened irresponsibly.
If Emperor Kangxi had any sense, he would have known that Sherry hadn't done anything wrong.
That is, this lackey has grand ambitions!
Kangxi looked at the pitiful Uya clanswoman with deep eyes.
In her excitement, Lady Wuya looked at Emperor Kangxi with a panicked expression, unaware that she was beginning to bleed profusely.
"This servant begs Your Highness to spare this servant! This servant will absolutely not snatch the child!" Uya-shi, still putting on a show, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Why don't you clean up the medicine that your Wuya family sent in first?" Shirley sat leisurely to the side.
Uya's lips trembled slightly, her eyes darted around, and she lowered her gaze, thinking of a solution!
"ah--"
"Ah—blood!"
The concubines gasped in alarm, and Uya looked on in horror at the blood seeping onto the floor beneath her before being rushed back to the delivery room!
"Tsk tsk tsk, she's in great shape. She can still get up and slander the Imperial Concubine after giving birth!" Consort An said with a look of disdain.
“That’s right! Tsk tsk tsk!” Consort Jing also bit her handkerchief.
"Shouldn't we be the ones worried? The Wuya family has people in the kitchen, and none of the sisters are pregnant yet..." Consort Rong said expressionlessly.
"Heh, if that were really the case, what would you do if you gave birth—" Consort Xi's face suddenly turned pale as she spoke, "You have a small kitchen..."
"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly! Waaah, I have not been able to conceive all these years, it is all because of those dog servants, waaaah..." Consort Jing hugged Kangxi's leg and began to cry.
Emperor Kangxi was getting a headache from the noise. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the tearful eyes of the concubines below, he finally nodded.
Kangxi frowned slightly and glanced at the crowd, who instantly fell silent!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, that servant has confessed! It was Consort Wuya who tried to slander the Noble Consort. She only drank a little, but unexpectedly, she suffered a severe hemorrhage!" Liang Jiugong rushed over!
The concubines exchanged glances, their eyes darting around.
Sherry looked at Kangxi expressionlessly, while Kangxi looked at her with a complicated expression.
"child……"
"The Empress Dowager is lonely!" Shirley seemed to be looking at him, or perhaps at something in the distance.
"Alright, Liang Jiugong, send the child to Shou Kang Palace!" Kangxi had been irritated by Xue Li for most of the day, and his anger was rising. He agreed without saying a word.
"Yes, sir!" Liang Jiugong replied respectfully, his back slightly hunched.
Consort An was excited, but couldn't say anything. Emperor Kangxi left with a sullen face.
With a complicated expression, Granny Furong requested an audience with the Imperial Concubine for a plan!
Sherry curved her lips into a smile: "That lowly maid who climbed into my bed while I was bathing back then, she had quite the ambition! Let me tell you, the Uya clan, ha!"
Sherry left gracefully, ignoring the fear on Furong's face.
The concubines, covering their faces with handkerchiefs, their eyes gleaming with gossip, realized that the lowly maid hadn't been favored by the Imperial Concubine, but rather had climbed into her bed!
The group of people were deep in thought, their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at the maids behind them!
The maids all trembled with fear.
"A treacherous servant deserves to die!" Consort Hui said coldly before leaving.
"You wretched girl, you deserve to have a hemorrhage!" Consort An rolled her eyes. Consort Jing shoved her, and they walked away together.
Granny Wang stopped Granny Furong to discuss the funeral arrangements for the person inside!
Even with the imperial physicians' best efforts, Lady Wuya will not survive until today!
