The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 47

All the concubines present heard Liu Shengfang's diagnosis that Mu Chang would not be able to conceive even if he takes good care of him in the future. Although they had different thoughts, they all showed surprised and sad expressions on their faces.

Mr. Migui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sighed softly: "How could such a cruel thing happen? If Mu Changzai knew the truth after waking up, I don't know how sad he would be!"

"Mu Changzai is really pitiful. He suffered such a disaster not long after entering the palace." Concubine Yi shook her head and sighed softly. Seeing Concubine De frowned slightly, she couldn't help asking bluntly: "I I heard that Mu Changzai respected Sister De very much, and would go to the main hall to talk to Sister De every day. Now that Mu Changzai was inexplicably poisoned, Sister De didn't notice anything wrong in Yonghe Palace beforehand. Is it?"

Concubine De quickly stood up, with a look of guilt on her face, bowed down, knelt down in front of Kangxi and pleaded guilty: "It's all useless concubines, who actually let such dirty things happen in Yonghe Palace. Whether Mu Chang was poisoned Who is the instigator of this incident? After all, Mu Changzai was plotted against under the nose of my concubine. As the head of Yonghe Palace, I am indeed responsible for failing to take good care of Mu Changzai. Your Majesty, please The imperial concubine concubine commits a crime, and this concubine is willing to accept the punishment!"

Kangxi glanced at Concubine De, and said slowly: "Get up first. Although you are responsible for negligence, the mastermind deserves to die even more."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across the people in the palace one by one, his gloomy tone was full of suppressed anger, "The most urgent thing now is to find out this matter as soon as possible and punish the person in charge severely. If such evils continue to stay in the palace, in the future I don't know how many people will be harmed! Poisoning... Humph! What a bold move!"

No wonder Kangxi was so angry.Since ancient times, emperors and monarchs have hated those who dare to use poison in the palace, and Kangxi is no exception.

Kangxi couldn't help thinking that this master poisoner was hiding in the palace. Since he could poison the concubines in the harem without anyone noticing today, would he dare to poison himself and kill the king to seize the throne in the future?

Kangxi snorted coldly, looked at the trembling Du Juan contemptuously, his dark phoenix eyes shot out cold sharpness, "Come here, drag this lowly servant girl down, and send her to the Punishment Department for strict interrogation."

Although Du Juan had predicted today's result a long time ago, when she was dragged away by the guards, she couldn't control the violent trembling of her body, and her heart felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Du Juan knew that as long as one entered a place like the Punishment Department, it would be difficult to get out alive.However, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue on this road of no return.

Thinking of his master's promise to her, Du Juan managed to pull himself together again, and finally found some comfort in his fear-filled heart.Du Juan secretly begged, this is the life of a coated slave, who lives for his master and dies for his master; he can't refuse, he can't complain.If she could do this in exchange for her only brother's chance to be an upright man, no longer having to be a slave, and continue to live this kind of life at the mercy of the master, relying on others, beating and scolding day and night, then the suffering she has suffered will be justified. It's all worth it.

Thinking of what her master told her, Du Juan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.It's not that she can't confess, but she can't confess easily now.

She had to go through all kinds of torture, and finally she could not bear it before she decided to tell the truth, and then she committed suicide because she was ashamed of her master, so that she could block all the clues that might be found by others, and make a perfect case like the master expected for this matter. cut off.And the truth of the fact will be buried in the wind and dust with her death, and no one will know it anymore.

Seeing Du Juan's limp body being dragged away by the guards, all the concubines couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the hellish place of the Punishment Division, even in the warm Jingren Palace.

After Fanglin sent Nian Xilan back to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, she immediately rushed back to Jingren Palace to return to her command.

Fang Lin trotted all the way to the entrance of the main hall of Jingren Palace, just in time to see Du Juan being dragged away by the guards with his head bowed.Fang Lin paused, then walked lightly into the hall.

Fang Lin saluted Kangxi respectfully, and said respectfully: "I would like to report to the emperor, the servants have already sent Concubine Xi back to Chuxiu Palace. Concubine Xi is all well, please rest assured."

Kangxi nodded, and waved Fanglin back to the side, and did not continue to ask her about what happened in Chuxiu Palace this morning in public.

Just now Jing Jing, who was rude to Nian Xilan, saw that Kangxi dealt with Du Juan in a few words, she couldn't help being frightened out of her wits, but before Kangxi punished her, she trembled and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried: "They are all maids and concubines. The lard was deceived, and he actually listened to the slanderous words of Du Juan and misunderstood the concubine Xi. The concubine will never dare again! Please the emperor forgive the concubine this time! The concubine knows her mistake, and will never again Dare..."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "You don't know the dignity, and if you commit crimes below, you should be demoted as a commoner. I think you are a first-time offender, and now you know you have repented, so I will demote you as a promise and punish you." You are quietly thinking about your past in the bedroom. When you have figured it out and calmed down, come out again."

Jing promised to shake her body, and then her tears flowed even more, she kept kowtowing to Kangxi and said, "I know I'm wrong! I must follow the emperor's teachings, stay in the palace and reflect on it, copy the scriptures every day, and be a vegetarian. Pray for the little elder brother in Empress Xi's womb!"
