The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 39

Who in the harem doesn't know that according to Kangxi's temper, if he doesn't want Nian Xilan to stay with him in Qianqing Palace, even if Nian Xilan has extraordinary means and tries his best to seduce and confuse Kangxi, he will never have the opportunity to stay in Qianqing Palace overnight.If you take ten thousand steps back, even if Nian Xilan succeeds with dirty tricks by chance, you will definitely be rejected by Kangxi. I am afraid that Kangxi has already dealt with it according to the palace rules. The main Chuxiu Palace has lived leisurely until today!

However, Kangxi's behavior really hurt the hearts of the harem concubines.After all, Nian Xilan was the only person who could stay in the Qianqing Palace to accompany him all night after serving the bed, except for the Empress Hesheli of the Yuan Dynasty.

The person who was lucky enough to receive such a distinctive, noble and pampered treatment turned out to be just a little nobleman who had just entered the palace with an ordinary family background and a low status. How can Concubine Tong Gui, who is in charge of Fengyin's imperial harem, swallow this breath?
However, since Concubine Tong has been able to sit firmly in the position of concubine for many years, she naturally knows very well how to manage the harem.She can only beat Nian Xilan with other things, or catch Nian Xilan's other mistakes and punish her, but she can never punish Nian Xilan directly for not obeying the rules of serving the bed.

After all, it wasn't Nian Xilan who broke the bed-serving rules, but the emperor who had always been arbitrary and hated being disobeyed and questioned the most.Concubine Tong knew that if she directly scolded Nian Xilan for this matter regardless, it would be tantamount to blaming the emperor.Concubine Tong Gui would definitely not do such a thankless and indifferent matter.

However, Concubine Tong secretly recorded this account firmly in her heart, and became more and more disgusted with Nian Xilan.

Just now, when Concubine Tong Guifei learned that Mu Changzai had just drank a cup of tea at Mr. Xigui's place, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Concubine Tong quickly dispatched an imperial physician to the side hall of Yonghe Palace to diagnose Mu Changzai's pulse. She wished that Mu Changzai's illness was caused by Nian Xilan's frame, so that she could take this opportunity to treat Nian Xilan well and make a comeback. Bad breath in my heart.

Concubine Tong no longer paid attention to Nian Xilan, chatted with other concubines as if nothing had happened, and waited patiently for the result of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis for Mu Changzai.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside the hall, and the woman's cry could be vaguely heard from far and near.

Concubine Tong frowned, and asked with a displeased face: "What's the noise outside the palace? Why don't you bring the troublemaker here soon?"

The maids of Jingren Palace walked into the palace anxiously, and reported to Concubine Tong: "I would like to inform the imperial concubine that Du Juan, the maid of Yonghe Palace who serves Mu Changzai, is begging to see her outside. The reason why she is crying is probably because of Mu Changzai's illness... ..."

Concubine Tong was overjoyed, but her face showed worry, and said anxiously: "I don't know what's going on with Mu Changzai now, why don't you hurry up and let that maid come in and answer!"

After being summoned by Concubine Tong, Du Juan, Mu Changzai's close maidservant, immediately stumbled into the hall, fell to her knees with a thud when she saw Concubine Tong, and reported crying: "I want to report to your concubine, Mu Changzai... ... Miscarriage... Imperial physician Zhang is still treating Mu Changzai. Mu Changzai lost a lot of blood and is still unconscious... Imperial physician Zhang said that the dragon fetus must be lost! Even if Mu Changzai can be saved? Come back, I don’t even know…”

Hearing that Mu Changzai had a miscarriage, Nian Xilan was also stunned.Nian Xilan couldn't help but think of the children she lost in her previous life, and her heart was pierced.

The concubines present all sighed.Concubine Tong stood up in shock, staring at Du Juan who was still crying, and asked, "Mu Chang was fine when he greeted me yesterday, why did he suddenly have a miscarriage? Did Doctor Zhang diagnose Mu Chang? The reason for the miscarriage?"

Du Juan choked up and cried, "Mu Changzai has just been pregnant for more than a month, and I don't even know it. Doctor Zhang said that Mu Changzai had a miscarriage because of taking the medicine that caused miscarriage. Doctor Zhang also said that Mu Changzai There is such a vicious poison on the lips! Mu Changzai is so pitiful! Please, the imperial concubine, please make the decision for Mu Changzai!"

"What did you say? Mu Changzai's lips actually have such a vicious poison?" Concubine Tong shot at Nian Xilan with sharp eyes, and asked Du Juan through gritted teeth: "In this case, Mu Chang Zai had just come into contact with this vicious poison before the accident. Where was Mu Chang before the accident? Did he eat anything? You should tell Bengong clearly, and nothing is allowed. Miss it!"

Du Juan wiped his tears, looked at Mr. Xigui uneasily, and whispered cowardly: "Mu Chang had a bad appetite this morning, so he didn't have breakfast. It's just..." But he hesitated and refused to continue , The whole person trembled in panic.

Concubine Tong narrowed her eyes slightly, and snorted coldly: "Just what? You don't have to be afraid. No matter who is involved in this matter, you can tell this palace directly. If you dare to use poisonous drugs to harm the heirs of the emperor, the emperor and this palace will both I will not forgive lightly. I have made up my mind and must investigate this matter strictly. As long as the perpetrators are found out, they will be punished severely and serve as an example to others."

Du Juan glanced at Mrs. Xigui again, and there was a bit of obvious hatred in his fearful eyes, as if he had made some huge determination, and reported to Concubine Tong in a loud voice: "To the concubine, Mu Chang is the only entrance this morning. The thing is to drink the hot tea brought by Xigui's maid in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace."
