"Your Majesty, you are here. Your Majesty asked your servant to pick you up. I will lift the curtain for you. Please be careful." Liang Jiugong said with a smile on his face.
In fact, Liang Jiugong also knew the sachet. Although he felt that the situation in the room just now was very bad for the empress, he did not neglect the noble concubine at all.
Just looking at the way this empress can keep her composure, she is much better than others.
As for this matter, I'm really not sure how it will turn out.
Having seen too many ups and downs in the palace, Liang Jiugong still knows how to treat others, let alone a noble concubine?
As soon as they entered the palace, they saw two young eunuchs dragging the palace maid out.
The palace maid looks familiar, she should be from the concubine's side.
How could he be dragged out like this?
Without any time to think about it, Concubine De walked up to Emperor Kangxi, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, good luck!"
"Get up quickly and come sit next to me." Emperor Kangxi said and held Concubine De's hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Good luck to the imperial concubine!"
All the women present stood up and saluted her.
I have to say, this feels somewhat comfortable.
He glanced at everyone with a half-smile, his eyes stayed on Mi Fei's face for a moment, and then turned back: "No gifts!"
Then he looked at Emperor Kangxi and asked, "Is it true that I came a little late? Didn't I disturb the emperor?"
The tone was casual, just like when he met Emperor Kangxi before.
Seeing her like this made Emperor Kangxi relax a lot in an instant, his brows relaxed slightly and he said:
"It's not too late. How is the fourth daughter-in-law? Is Honghui crying?"
Hearing Emperor Kangxi ask this, Concubine De frowned and said worriedly: "The fourth daughter-in-law may have to stay in the palace for a while this time. Master Huicong said it is not easy to move now.
This child may not be able to keep what's in his belly now, he's really going to suffer this time."
As he spoke, he sighed again.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi patted Concubine De's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, this child will definitely be saved. I will definitely investigate this matter and won't let my fourth daughter-in-law be wronged.
Later, I will let the fourth child live in Dongsanzhuang, so that it will be convenient to take care of him when the time comes.
If the fourth daughter-in-law cannot move, then she can live in that house for the time being. The situation will be better in a few days, and it will be the same if she moves again."
Concubine De nodded and said gratefully: "I thank the Emperor for my two children.
Just now, my concubine sent Honghui to the Queen Mother. The little man stood at the door for a long time.
He also begged me to take him to see his mother-in-law tomorrow.
He is very well-behaved and doesn't cry or make trouble. He just asks his mother every once in a while.
When he came back, he was practicing calligraphy at the Queen Mother's place."
Concubine De's words were gentle and soft, like gentle breeze and drizzle. Listening to people's ears, they could not help but relax.
The atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.
"Okay, he is a good boy!" Emperor Kangxi felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his grandson's appearance.
Thinking of the things that happened today, Emperor Kangxi suddenly looked ugly again.
Seeing his expression, Concubine De didn't say anything more. She just asked: "Your Majesty, I just heard that your Majesty found something more. Is it related to Yu'er's poisoning?"
Emperor Kangxi frowned, glanced at Concubine De, and saw that the worried look on her face did not seem to be fake.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the sachet in his hand and spread it out in his palm.
Concubine De looked at Emperor Kangxi in surprise, then looked down, as if she felt something was wrong, so she took it in her hand and looked at it carefully.
Looking at it this way, I found that the people around me looked a little strange.
Concubine De felt a chill in her heart. She paid attention to everyone's expressions calmly, but she said with some surprise on her face: "Your Majesty, this thing looks familiar to me...
Isn't this the trick I used to do before? Qiu Ju, what do you think?"
Concubine De said and gave this to Qiu Ju behind her.
Qiu Ju took it and took a careful look. A strange color flashed in her eyes. When she saw her master looking at her calmly, she knew what she was talking about and said, "What I said is right, but it is the trick you used to do before."
Woolen cloth..."
"Ah, this thing really belongs to the imperial concubine! Your Majesty, my concubine's slave did not lie. Do you think we can exempt her from the punishment? After all, she has been following my concubine for a long time."
Concubine Mi glanced at Concubine De in surprise, then knelt down again, with a slightly worried look on her face.
She clenched her hands fiercely in the cuffs of her sleeves. She didn't expect that the emperor would send her girl to the Criminal Investigation Department.
Seeing this situation, Concubine De's eyes flashed, and then she looked at Emperor Kangxi in surprise: "Your Majesty, what's going on? Why does Concubine Mi mean that the punishment of her slave has something to do with the concubine?"
Emperor Kangxi frowned: "It's a bit involved."
"Back to the imperial concubine, this sachet was found on the table of the concubines. It contains some... medicine to enhance pleasure. The imperial doctor said that after using it for a long time, it may become addictive. Now the sachet is being investigated.
Source.
The concubine's girl said that she had seen you bring similar tricks before, and the emperor just sent someone to take her down for questioning."
Liang Jiugong didn't say much. He thought that with the wisdom of the imperial concubine, he would have understood what was going on if he just thought about it for a moment.
After hearing this, Concubine De nodded clearly.
In fact, although Concubine De was never present, Su Peisheng had already told her these things.
She was already prepared for someone to throw dirty water on her.
I didn't expect that this person would actually make a fuss about this sachet.
Looking at the sachet again, Concubine De's eyes flashed with a smile, then she frowned and said, "So, Your Majesty, everyone is wondering if this medicine was given to you by my concubine?"
No wonder the people I met when I came here seemed to avoid me when they saw me.
There really are no secrets in this palace, and it spread like this.
I don’t know if someone did it on purpose, or if everyone thinks of themselves first when they think of taking medicine to be pampered?
It's ridiculous to think about it, it turns out that she is like a beloved concubine in the eyes of others.
Thanks to my age, it is not easy.
After hearing Concubine De's words, Emperor Kangxi immediately grabbed Concubine De's hand and tightened: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter what others think, I believe in you."
After hearing this, Concubine De looked at Emperor Kangxi. The middle-aged emperor was speaking to her very seriously about those three words of preference.
His eyes were no longer as clear-cut as when they first met.
Nowadays, there are more dimness after years of experience, and red bloodshot streaks from excessive fatigue.
In the past, I only thought his eyes were beautiful, but now I feel that his eyes make me feel safe.
Concubine De even felt for a moment as if she was being held in his hands.
It seems that no matter what mistakes he makes now, he will not punish himself.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Emperor Kangxi suddenly said: "Come here, go and take the concubine into custody!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! Including Concubine De.
