The fact that she could become the imperial concubine's personal maid proved that she was not stupid.
The Imperial Noble Consort had just said she wanted to drug Empress Xiaozhuang, and then she took the drug. If this matter has nothing to do with Empress Xiaozhuang, she will be beheaded.
But they couldn't say this directly, because the Imperial Noble Consort was poisoned in her own palace, which showed that Chengqian Palace was not as solid as they thought.
And once she tells it out, the person who is watching her from behind might punish her as well.
"wrong!"
The imperial concubine suddenly exclaimed and then stood up.
She seemed to have guessed the truth. It was not that the people in her palace betrayed her, but that someone was monitoring Chengqian Palace and reporting everything that happened there.
This is absolutely true. Otherwise, how could Xiaozhuang know that he was going to poison her and then poison herself in return?
But when did this happen? How much does the other party know about Chengqian Palace? Why didn’t they report the affairs of Chengqian Palace before?
When the imperial concubine thought that there were no secrets in her own palace, she suddenly felt like laughing.
"Are you okay, Madam?"
The palace maid looked at her with great concern. At present, the imperial concubine was just weak. If an antidote could be found, she would be able to recover as before.
As long as she could survive until Empress Xiaozhuang passed away, she would still have the chance to become the real master of the harem.
"I'm fine. You go and investigate it yourself. I want to know right now who spread the news that I've been poisoned. Her whole family will die.
Also, contact your family immediately. Since that old man dared to drug me, don't blame me for giving him a taste of his own medicine.
I can’t even live to be a hundred, so she can’t expect to die of old age either. Even if I die, I’ll take someone with me.”
"Your Majesty, are you really going to do this? I'm afraid our Chengqian Palace is under surveillance. If you do this, it will not only be detrimental to you, but also to the Tong family."
"Of course I know what's going on, but I can't accept it. My healthy body has turned into this half-dead state, I can't stand it.
If she continues to look this sickly, what good will it do me even if I become the Empress? Will she die like Niuhulu, who served as Empress for only six months?
Since I want to be the Empress, I must go all the way. How can I only serve for a year or two? If that is the case, I might as well stay in the position of Imperial Noble Consort forever.
Okay, I know you said so much for my own good, but I have no way out.
Isn't Concubine De about to give birth? She is the person I hate the most. If I die, she will not be able to live either. Arrange for me to have people to help her when she gives birth."
"yes."
Since I can't do anything to Mu Sili, I'll just take action against Concubine De first. If she gets scared by Concubine De's death and has a miscarriage, I can't blame her.
After making sure that no sound was coming from inside, the person who was secretly monitoring left Chengqian Palace.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi closed his eyes after hearing what the visitor reported.
"The Royal Mam was kind to her and only gave her some weakening medicine as a punishment. I didn't expect that she would not only not be grateful, but also want to attack the Royal Mam in return.
And there is Concubine De. I have always known that she is dissatisfied with Concubine De. I didn't expect that Concubine De has not given birth yet, and she is ready to kill her twice.
Is the position of queen so tempting? Can it turn a pure and kind person into a hateful person, holding grudges against everything?
Although I also thought about blaming Concubine De when she gave birth, I really didn't think about taking her life. After all, I am not a heartless person.
Since the Imperial Noble Consort wants to attack Consort De, I will see if she is ready to do so. To catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, I will catch them in the act.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will make all the arrangements. However, the Imperial Concubine still wants to attack the Imperial Concubine. Should we send more people to Yongshou Palace for protection?"
"Of course. I will never allow anything to happen to the concubine and her son."
"I understand."
"By the way, send someone to keep an eye on the Tong family. If they really dare to help the Imperial Concubine find medicine, don't blame me for being ruthless and taking action against them.
Even if they are my mother's family, they have no right to lay hands on my relatives. The position of Queen is not something they can dream of."
"yes."
After Liang Jiugong left, Yin came.
"Father, I'm a little worried about my mother and want to go back to see her. Can you go with me?"
Kangxi's originally anxious heart calmed down the moment he saw Yinzhen.
His anger is always directed at those who deserve it. It is not his style to attack innocent people.
"That's fine. Your mother has been saying she wants to go out for a walk lately. You can persuade her when you go back. Right now, you should focus on taking care of the baby."
Yin looked at Kangxi in confusion. Shouldn't he be the one to say this? Why should he, the son, be the one to say it?
"Father, I am still young. It is better for you to take care of my mother and my younger siblings. I have high hopes for you."
"I am more optimistic about you. If you act coquettishly, your mother will obey you. I can't do that. She will only go against me."
After Kangxi said this, Yinzhen immediately showed a look of disgust.
"So this is how the Emperor behaves in front of Mother. I understand. Don't worry, I will persuade Mother after we get to Yongshou Palace."
Kangxi felt that Yinzhen had misunderstood, but he did not want to explain at this time. The recent affairs of the Imperial Noble Consort and the Defei had made him very upset, so he decided to keep his mind on their affairs.
In Yongshou Palace, Mu Sili was walking around the courtyard boredly, holding her belly.
"When can I go out for a walk? I'm just pregnant, why is the emperor so nervous? It's not my first child!
The palace is protected by the Emperor's men, so I'm very safe. No, if I don't go out for a walk, I'm going to get suffocated. Nanny Chen, come with me and take a walk around the Imperial Garden."
As soon as Kangxi and Yinzhen arrived outside the gate of Yongshou Palace, they heard her saying that she was going out for a walk. He suddenly felt a headache and wanted to go back to the Qianqing Palace to continue reading the memorials.
"Father Emperor, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I was just wondering if I had missed anything."
"No, my son has checked it. Please."
Yinzhen looked like a filial son, which made Kangxi's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
He was 100% sure that Yin?'s behavior was to let him face Mu Sili's anger first, and he would appear after she calmed down so that he would not be implicated.
I don't know since when, but this kid has become more and more shrewd, not at all like a normal three-year-old child.
"I'll go in and take a look. You wait here."
"My son knows."
As soon as Kangxi entered, he met Mu Sili's angry eyes.
"Your Majesty is here. Are you here to take me out for a walk?"
"No, Xiao Shi missed you, so I came back to see you. Are you okay?"
