Chapter 895 Who allowed you to slander the imperial concubine?
If... Concubine De's popularity was originally because she used medicine on Lord Long Live...
It seems that everyone is willing to believe that this is the reason. After all, Concubine De is inferior to the women in this palace in many ways.
When someone gets something that others want but don't get, people in the world tend to speculate with a kind of malicious intent.
And, you will think that this is the truth.
"Oh, sister Xibi, look at what you said. If you go by what you said, the most favored one in the palace now is Concubine De Gui.
Do you think that the reason why the emperor wants to go to the imperial concubine’s house on weekdays is because the imperial concubine has taken this medicine?”
Concubine Hui's face was full of disbelief.
Of course, when she said this, she was also carefully looking at Emperor Kangxi's face, trying to judge what kind of attitude Emperor Kangxi had towards this matter.
"This... I didn't say that. I just think this matter is a bit strange. I usually don't see the emperor for a long time. This thing..."
The more the concubine talked, the more aggrieved she became. At the end of the sentence, tears flowed down like a kite with its strings broken.
"Sister, what is behind the scenes? Are you doubting the imperial concubine? I have to say a few words to you..."
"Who allowed you to slander the imperial concubine?"
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes at this moment and looked at Concubine Hui and Concubine Xi very unkindly.
The concubine was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head and did not dare to speak again.
"I am guilty. I would never dare to slander the noble concubine. I just can't stand others throwing dirty water on her!" Concubine Hui also knelt down with a plop at this time.
She had been with Emperor Kangxi the longest, so she naturally knew that Emperor Kangxi was really angry at this moment.
As a concubine, it has been a long time since I paid such a grand tribute to the Long Live Lord.
The atmosphere became somewhat condensed for a while.
After a while, Emperor Kangxi glanced at Concubine Hui: "Get up, you are old, there is no need to give such a big gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Hui bowed politely and sat down on her seat carefully, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. Emperor Kangxi put his head on his hands and rubbed his temples, wondering what he was thinking.
The secret concubine said cautiously at this moment: "Your Majesty, I just asked the imperial physician to check the medicinal properties of this thing. Why don't you let someone take a closer look at this sachet?"
Everyone uses different sachets, acupuncture methods, and materials, so maybe you can tell something."
Emperor Kangxi immediately looked at the purse and said, "What Concubine Mi said is right, go and take a closer look at this sachet."
Saying this, a nanny immediately walked over.
After carefully looking at it, he said: "Back to the emperor, this material is commonly used in the palace. Although the stitching is fine, it is also a commonly used embroidery method. There is no way to determine who embroidered it.
Hey? This pattern is quite strange, I have never seen it before. I wonder if any of you ladies are familiar with it?"
After taking a careful look, the grandma frowned slightly.
Emperor Kangxi took a look and said, "Bring it to me to see!" For some reason, he felt that this pattern seemed familiar.
"Long live Lord, this is not allowed, this thing may hurt the dragon's body!" Liang Jiugong said.
Emperor Kangxi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, there aren't many medicines in it, so bring it to me and take a look."
After hearing this, Liang Jiugong immediately trotted to his grandma, cleaned the medicine in the sachet again, and then came to Emperor Kangxi holding it in both hands.
Passing by Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong, after they saw the trick, there were expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Then the two of them looked at each other. They seemed to be a little shocked in each other's eyes, but they didn't say anything. They turned their faces to Emperor Kangxi in the same way, wanting to see Emperor Kangxi's reaction.
Emperor Kangxi took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. At first he frowned, but then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a strong murderous intent burst out of his eyes.
But it was only for a moment, and the next moment he suppressed all the emotions in his eyes.
Calmness returned to his eyes.
"I don't see anything wrong with this trick. I wonder if any of my concubines would recognize it?"
Emperor Kangxi asked this question, but he held the whole sachet in his hand without showing it to anyone.
Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong looked at each other and wisely lowered their heads without saying a word.
Concubine Hui wanted to take a look, but unfortunately the sachet was caught in Kangxi's hand and no one could see it.
Xi's concubine was also frowning fiercely at this moment. She usually spoke in simple terms, but she really didn't know anyone who had ever brought such a sachet.
"Here, this pattern seems a bit familiar to me. I seem to have seen a similar one brought by the imperial concubine."
At this moment, the girl next to Mi Fei suddenly said this.
The concubine seemed startled, and immediately reprimanded: "You are so presumptuous and baseless, you dare to slander the imperial concubine! How can we all not know the character of the imperial concubine?
Is this how I usually teach you? Why don’t you kneel down and apologize quickly?"
After saying this, Concubine Mi herself knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, it is my concubine who has not been disciplined strictly! She actually let this girl talk nonsense and slander the imperial concubine. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
This time the surroundings were quieter, and you could hear a needle drop.
However, Emperor Kangxi kept staring at the concubine without saying anything, and the atmosphere became more and more condensed.
At the door, Concubine De came near and asked the young eunuch to come in and make the announcement.
Just when the fourth child asked someone to give her the news, Concubine De knew that the matter would not be simple.
First, the fourth daughter-in-law was poisoned, then the sixth daughter-in-law, and one of her own girls was also involved.
These things are big and small.
But in the end there is no way to shake one's own foundation.
If it's really for yourself, then it won't just be these.
Thinking about it, the medicine the emperor used would most likely involve him.
Knowing this, she didn't rush over.
First, they and Yu Jue sent Pangpang to the Queen Mother, and then she went back to the palace and changed out of her heavy imperial concubine's clothes.
She casually wore a lotus-colored uniform that she usually preferred, and picked up a few light hairpin rings, all of which were quite simple and elegant.
After changing into these clothes, she looks ten years younger than she did wearing the heavy imperial concubine's clothes.
Concubine De was originally much younger than her peers, so she looked like she was nearly thirty years old.
Coupled with her peaceful and calm temperament that has been accumulated over the years, people can't take their eyes away at a glance.
After a while, Liang Jiugong came out in person to greet Concubine De.
When he saw someone standing there from a distance, he knew it was the imperial concubine.
This temperament is unique in the palace and cannot be imitated by others.
