I woke up around noon.
After washing up, Youqing asked Chengying, "How is His Majesty's investigation going with Consort Chun?"
Cheng Ying shook her head: "This servant hasn't heard any news yet."
Either they couldn't find it, or they couldn't disclose what they found. Based on the current situation, it's probably because they couldn't find it.
Last night, when Consort Chun was about to have an abortion, Youqing was physically exhausted. After all, she had been woken up by Emperor Kangxi and taken to Yonghe Palace. Now, after a good night's sleep, she was clear-headed and had thought of many details.
Chun's actions last night, such as trying to get closer to her, and the way she ended up falling together with Consort Tong, all seemed somewhat deliberate.
She acted as if she knew she was going to miscarry, and didn't care about the baby in her belly at all.
Could it be that Chun agreed to stage a play herself?
It's no wonder Youqing overthinks things. She's watched some palace dramas and understands some of the tricks. Right now, she can only think of deliberately causing a miscarriage to frame someone, but she hasn't considered the possibility of a fake pregnancy, since that would be very difficult to pull off.
"Is there any movement from the others?"
Cheng Ying shook his head: "At this time, all the palaces are very quiet."
No one dared to make a move, after all, he was a royal heir.
After two days of investigation with no results, even after interrogating the palace maid beside Chun, who had been thoroughly questioned, they still couldn't get her to talk.
On the third day after Consort Chun miscarried, things took a turn for the better. It turned out that the mother of Consort Chun's maid, Su Mei, had known You Qing's stepmother, and the two had a rather unusual relationship. It was said that the stepmother had even saved Su Mei's life.
Emperor Kangxi discovered this and then he understood that Consort Chun's pregnancy was indeed a scheme designed to target Youqing.
Kangxi certainly didn't believe that Youqing had informed her family and caused Chun to agree to have an abortion. However, it seemed that the investigation could only go this far and couldn't go any further.
Kangxi naturally knew about Youqing's background and family relationships. She and her stepmother were irreconcilable enemies and would never conspire together to scheme against someone. Besides, he was fully aware of Youqing's movements.
