The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 46

Kangxi thought about it, and felt more and more that Concubine Tong must be targeting Nian Xilan on purpose, otherwise, how could even a little Chang Zai embarrass Nian Xilan in public?The more Kangxi thought about it, the angrier he became, and he became even more dissatisfied with Concubine Tong and Jing Changzai.As a majestic emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi naturally would not suffocate himself, he had many ways to expel the displeasure in his heart.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ruolan who was standing beside Concubine Tong, and said slowly: "The last time I played chess with Concubine Tong, was you the maid who was serving beside you?"

Ruolan was startled, and replied cautiously: "It's the servant girl."

Kangxi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then asked: "From what Concubine Tong said just now, your cooking skills should be excellent, right?"

"The emperor and the imperial concubine are too famous! The servants can cook only three or five kinds of soup, and the craftsmanship is far from that of the imperial cook! It's just that the servants have served the imperial concubine for many years and know the taste of the imperial concubine better, so the imperial concubine often Order the servants to cook some nourishing soup for her." Ruolan couldn't figure out Kangxi's thoughts, and was worried that it would arouse Concubine Tong's jealousy, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and her voice trembled when she answered.

Kangxi glanced at Tong Guifei, who had a stiff smile, and praised casually: "I see that the maid next to you is not bad, loyal and clever. I think her current name is too casual, and you should really do it for her." She has a new name."

When Concubine Tong heard this, she knew that Kangxi must have heard Jing Chang's vicious words against Nian Xilan when she first entered the palace, and saw Nian Xilan kneeling on the ground, so she felt that she was embarrassing Nian Xilan , will annoy myself.Now Kangxi actually shamed himself in front of many concubines and forced him to change Ruolan's name, just because he wanted to vent his anger for Nian Xilan!
Although Concubine Tong was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey the holy will in public, and barely maintained a gentle and decent smile on her face, and said softly: "What the emperor said is very true, and I have been thinking about it for the past few days. Lan should change her name to something more appropriate. Since the emperor praised her for her loyalty and ingenuity, the concubine named her Qiaoxin, what do you think, the emperor?"

Kangxi glanced at Concubine Tong Gui with a half-smile, and said lightly: "She is your close servant, you can make up your own mind on the trivial matter of naming her, and you don't need to ask me to make the decision."

Kangxi was about to ask Mu Changzai about the miscarriage, when he looked at Nian Xilan unconsciously, he found that although Nian Xilan was still sitting on the chair with her back straight, her pale face had already shown some tired face.

Kangxi's heart moved, he suddenly changed his mind, and said gently to Nian Xilan: "Concubine Xi is pregnant, so it's not suitable to be tired, so go back to the palace to rest earlier."

Kangxi instructed Fanglin again: "Send Concubine Xi back to Chuxiu Palace to rest first, and then return to Jingren Palace to answer."

Nian Xilan was turned over and transferred by Kangxi last night for a long time, and now she is really tired, so seeing that Kangxi wanted to take care of her, she went ahead and bowed to Kangxi and Concubine Tong, and left the scene accompanied by Fang Lin. Ren Gong.

After Nian Xilan left, Kangxi suddenly lowered his expression, and said to Liu Shengfang: "Go to the Yonghe Palace immediately, and carefully examine Mu Changzai's pulse to see how her body is doing."

Liu Shengfang bowed her promise, exited the hall respectfully, and trotted towards the Yonghe Palace.

Kangxi glanced at Du Juan, who looked blank and fearful, and asked Concubine Tong directly, "What happened this morning, and how is it related to Concubine Xi?"

Seeing Kangxi's arrangement, Tong Guifei was obviously determined to protect Nian Xilan, so although she was not reconciled, she could only narrate what happened this morning in detail, being very careful in her words, just calm Narration, without the slightest assumption and comment.

When Kangxi heard that Du Juan contradicted what Nian Xilan and Fanglin said, he couldn't help sneering, "I just found out today that there are many talented people in this harem who dare to use the Biluochun I gave to Concubine Xi to make a fuss. "

Kangxi turned his head to look at Concubine Tong, and said slowly: "Fang Lin and Fang Wan are both maids I sent from Qianqing Palace to serve Concubine Xi. I have never doubted their loyalty to me. Could it be that the noble concubine thinks Will the two of them be bought by Concubine Xi in a short period of time, and together with Concubine Xi, will they deceive me?"

Concubine Tong's expression froze, and she quickly replied: "I naturally believe in the way the emperor sees people. From this point of view, Du Juan must be lying!"

Concubine Tong reprimanded Du Juan angrily: "Bold servant girl, you dare to fabricate lies to slander Concubine Xi! Who is the one who ordered you to frame Concubine Xi? If you dare to tell half a lie again, I will not order anyone to tear it up." your mouth!"

Du Juan was so frightened that he trembled all over, his legs went limp, and he slumped on the ground. He explained in a trembling voice: "This servant was just terrified by Mu Changzai's tragedy. Hearing the diagnosis of Imperial Physician Zhang, he thought that Mu Chang was in a miscarriage and Concubine Xi has something to do with it, that's why she did so many foolish things. This servant knows he was wrong, and he will never dare again..."

At this time, Liu Shengfang hurried back to the palace, and said clearly amidst the people's attention and expectations: "My Majesty, according to Mu Changzai's pulse condition, it is indeed very similar to Xiaochan. However, after careful diagnosis by the servant, it was found that The reason why Mu Changzai suffered from miscarriage was due to the influence of drugs."

When Kangxi heard this expected result, his thin lips raised slightly, revealing a cold smile line.

Concubine Tong looked at Liu Shengfang in disbelief, and could hardly believe her ears, "So, Mu Changzai didn't have a miscarriage? All this is just a misunderstanding deliberately arranged by someone?"

Liu Shengfang replied respectfully: "Mu Changzai was not pregnant in the first place, so how can there be a miscarriage? It's just that this medicine is extremely domineering and has caused great damage to the woman's body. Mu Chang was affected by this medicine, even if he will have a miscarriage in the future. It’s easy to take care of yourself, but it’s hard to conceive.”
