"In reply to the Empress Dowager, the concubines of the Fourth Master and the Ninth Master are there inside," the palace maid said in a trembling voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, especially the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi, whose faces immediately turned dark.
Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince all heard what the palace maid said, and the three of them hurried towards the room.
"Ninth brother, Li'er has been with fourth brother before, and today, today they..."
When they arrived at the door, the Tenth Prince lost the courage to go in and pulled Yinzhen who was about to go in.
"That was a misunderstanding before, let me go," Yinzhen glanced at the Tenth Prince and then strode into the room.
"Tenth brother, can you speak? Don't you know what happened before?" Fourteenth prince spoke in a bad mood, and then followed Yinzhen into the room.
The Tenth Prince blushed at what they said. It wasn't that he didn't believe Jiang Ranli, but he was too afraid that something might happen, so he spoke without thinking.
Entering the room, Yinzhen was lying on the ground covered in blood, while Jiang Ranli was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Following them in were the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yi, Concubine De and other concubines. When they saw the scene, they all gasped.
When Dong E saw the situation in the room, disappointment flashed across her eyes. She thought she would see Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen entangled with each other, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
Yin'er walked quickly to Jiang Ranli and called her anxiously, "Li'er, Li'er, wake up."
The Fourteenth Prince glanced at Jiang Ranli who was held in Yin'er's arms, walked up to Yinzhen, grabbed his collar, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yinzhen was extremely tired at this time. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the angry Fourteenth Prince, then looked at the person who walked into the room, and said with difficulty, "There is an assassin."
The news that the Ninth Prince's concubine was knocked unconscious and the Fourth Prince was seriously injured and bleeding quickly reached Emperor Kangxi, who rushed over immediately.
At this time, Yinzhen had been taken away by the Fourth Lady, Nian, and the imperial physician for treatment. Jiang Ranli was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and the imperial physician was taking her pulse.
Looking at the pool of bright red blood on the ground, Emperor Kangxi's stern brows were filled with anger, "What's going on?"
"Before he fell unconscious, the fourth brother said that there was an assassin here who had kidnapped An Jia and seriously injured him," said the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not," Duanpin, who came with her, said hesitantly.
"explain".
Emperor Kangxi was furious. On New Year's Eve, an assassin appeared in the palace and injured An Jia and his son.
After getting Emperor Kangxi's approval, Concubine Duan said immediately, "I have always liked to develop various spices. Although the smell in this room is a little lighter, I can still smell some..."
At this point, Concubine Duan stopped talking and looked hesitant.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she said, "What is it? Tell me quickly."
"Yes, I can also smell some of the scent of Hehuan love poison," Duanpin knelt on the ground quickly after saying this. As a concubine in the harem, it was really against etiquette to say something as vulgar as Hehuan love poison.
Everyone was shocked after hearing Concubine Duan's words, and Emperor Kangxi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"What happened tonight is not as simple as an assassination. Someone wants to disrupt the ethical standards of our royal family and make our royal family a laughing stock of the world," the Queen Mother was furious, her eyes full of fierceness.
