The courtyard was extremely quiet. Qingyan watched as the Crown Princess's eyes went from confusion to sudden realization. She frowned. The noble ladies of the Eight Banners didn't care about the lives of their servants. This was the first time she had discovered a problem.
"My little grandson is only three months old!" Granny Yang's tears kept flowing down her face.
In fact, when she accompanied the Crown Princess into the palace, she thought that her family would be controlled by Shi Bingwen. Haha, she was only one day late in learning that Li Jia was pregnant, and her youngest grandson became the target of punishment.
"No!" The Crown Princess shook her head. "I didn't send a message home!"
The Crown Princess wanted to absolve herself of all responsibility. Within the palace, many people used this method to prevent their servants from betraying them, and some were either instigated or accidentally harmed.
"No! How can I trust you again?" Granny Yang smiled coldly. Her husband had long since taken a concubine, and her son and daughter-in-law had separated from the family. She only had her eldest grandson and youngest grandson as her blood relatives. The eldest grandson was sent by Shi Bingwen to be a companion to the eldest young master of the mansion. The eldest young master was unruly and did not like to study, so the eldest grandson often returned home with injuries.
After the younger grandson was killed, the older grandson also nearly died from his injuries.
After receiving the news last night, Granny Yang was blinded by hatred and couldn't help but risk her life to make Shi Bingwen also experience the pain of losing a son.
“Everything I told Your Highness is true. I have done too many heinous things for the Crown Princess. The vast majority of the concubines in the Yuqing Palace have been given sterilization drugs. Even when the Fourth Prince’s wife first went to Yuqing Palace to serve tea, the Pu’er tea she drank had a slight amount of sterilization drugs in it!” Granny Yang confessed her wrongdoings. “I know that my sins are unforgivable. I hope Your Highness can remember everything I did to plead for my family and spare my children!”
After speaking, Granny Yang took out the poison from her bosom and drank it!
"Little grandson, Granny Yang is here!" Granny Yang stared wide-eyed in the direction of the Crown Princess, her eyes wide open in death.
Damn it!
Consort Tong was the first to come to her senses. Remembering what Granny Yang had said, she glared angrily at the Crown Princess and immediately summoned Physician Yuan.
Xiao Guai's health is the most important thing. Yin is somewhat averse to other women. If Xiao Guai really can't have children, won't Yin be left without an heir?
"Your Highness, is what this old woman said true?" Qingyan looked at the Crown Princess, who had only taken a sip of tea when she paid her respects.
Yang Mama's words made the Crown Princess feel scared. She had made a mistake in a muddle and was exposed by her own wet nurse. Wouldn't this directly cause her to be disliked by the Crown Prince?
"No, no, no! Fourth sister-in-law, look at this damned servant, he's hiding poison. He must have been sent by someone else. We have such a good relationship, how could I possibly let someone poison you!" The Crown Princess regained her senses. She knew that this matter could be serious or minor, and if things went wrong, the entire Guarjia clan could be ruined.
snort!
Qingyan didn't believe it at all. Luckily, she had a way to salvage the situation; otherwise, she would have been disliked by the royal family.
"Really?" Qingyan didn't believe it. "What are you feeling guilty about?"
Qingyan met the Crown Princess's gaze, and she caught the guilty look in the Crown Princess's eyes.
"No!" The Crown Princess calmed herself and answered directly.
"Enough. Since it involves the royal offspring, let His Majesty interrogate them personally." Consort Tong was not the Empress after all, and she lacked confidence in interrogating the Crown Princess.
Furthermore, the Crown Princess was carefully trained by the Guarjia clan, and when faced with such interrogation, she also had her own family's tricks.
The Crown Princess was worried. Following her father's instructions, she had taken action against Qingyan, hoping to give her younger sister a chance.
After the mourning period ended, the Crown Princess's younger sister was to be selected for the imperial concubine selection. Lady Guarjia set her sights on Yinzhi. The younger sister was proud and arrogant and would not be able to examine her own status to become a concubine. Her father and mother doted on their youngest daughter, which is why they let her take action.
Qingyan approached Consort Tong, not wanting to upset her too much.
"Mother, I'm fine," Qingyan said softly.
Consort Tong looked at Xiao Guai's appearance and sighed heavily in her heart. What would she do if he really fell for it?
"My dear, the imperial physician will be here soon. Whatever the outcome, you must face it with a calm mind!" Consort Tong said.
Qingyan nodded, "There's definitely nothing wrong. Why doesn't the Crown Princess believe me?"
Upon hearing what Shu said, Physician Yuan dared not delay and rushed to Chenggan Palace.
Su Lan felt somewhat guilty. Fei Yanggu had personally trained her, hoping that she could help Qing Yan avoid these underhanded tactics when necessary, but she had failed to protect her master.
"Sulan, go back to the Prince's residence and screen the people in the small kitchen again!" Qingyan became even more cautious after learning this.
Yin's health is of paramount importance and cannot be compromised. When Consort Tong saw Qingyan, her first thought was of Yin's health, and she nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the girl was quite good.
"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Su Lan didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly left Chenggan Palace.
The Crown Princess's face turned pale, and she kept thinking to herself, "If Emperor Kangxi knew, would he spare her?"
The Crown Prince was showing signs of losing Emperor Kangxi's trust, and many ministers were preparing to find other princes to rely on. Shi Bingwen thought of his youngest daughter.
"His Majesty is here!" Shu Zhu whispered in Consort Tong's ear.
Kangxi walked in with Yinzhi, followed by Yuan Yuanzheng.
After the ceremony, Kangxi stopped Physician Yuan.
"Quickly examine the Fourth Prince's wife's pulse!" Emperor Kangxi met Physician Yuan at the entrance of Chenggan Palace and then followed him over.
Doctor Yuan bowed and walked to Qingyan's side, taking her pulse through a silk handkerchief.
When taking his pulse, Physician Yuan frowned, as if he had encountered something bad.
As Consort Tong watched Yuan the Physician's expression, her heart sank even further. Was there no cure for the medicine the Crown Princess had given her?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess Consort has been given some sterilization powder. Fortunately, it wasn't a large dose!" Physician Yuan was relieved. The medicine hadn't come from within the palace and had nothing to do with the Imperial Hospital.
Yin glared angrily at the Crown Princess. What had Xiao Guai done to offend her?
Normally, it's one thing for her to do things against Xiao Guai, but now she's trying to harm Xiao Guai as well.
"Crown Princess, have Xiao Guai and I offended you? Do you want us to be childless? Or did the Crown Prince instigate you?" Yin Yi was furious at the thought that Xiao Guai almost lost her child.
"No...no, it has nothing to do with the Crown Prince!" The Crown Princess noticed that Yin's complexion was not good, and the oppressive aura emanating from him was becoming increasingly heavy, which was quite similar to the aura emanating from Emperor Kangxi.
Irrelevant!?
Who would believe that?
Since Yin was placed under the care of Consort Tong, his feelings towards them have been inconsistent. Sometimes he is very kind, and other times he is extremely wary.
Sometimes, Qingyan felt that the princes were all capricious.
"Guarjia clan, I ask you, who gave you the medicine!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
