Compared with the last time, it has been at least a year since Yinzuo can do arithmetic, and it doesn't matter if Ma Guan is pregnant at this time.

And according to the ranking of the brothers, her birth is likely to be a princess.Thinking of this, she became happy.

In the eyes of outsiders, this matter is double happiness, leaving only envy and jealousy, especially the imperial concubine.

"I knew she was so difficult to deal with. When I was a court lady, I should have stepped her into the mud." The imperial concubine regretted it very much. At that time, she was a high-ranking imperial concubine. see it.

Unexpectedly, in just four short years, the other party has grown into a concubine, and now she is pregnant with her third child.

Such a blessing, how can she not be envious and jealous?

She looked at the eighth elder brother in the cradle and sighed softly. After all, this is not her own child.

"Your Majesty, that one is the imperial concubine, isn't she also under you? As long as Your Majesty regains the favor, sooner or later she will become an imperial concubine, and even ascend to that throne." sound of consolation.

The palace lady is Yunxiu, a newly promoted grand palace lady. She stands out from the crowd of palace ladies because of her sweet mouth and clever workmanship.

The imperial concubine sighed softly: "So what about a high status? It's not that I don't have the right to control the harem. I have already become the laughing stock of this harem. Unless, I can really get to that point."

Only by becoming a queen can one be the real master of the harem and regain power!

But how can this matter be so simple?The emperor valued a good background, but he valued character even more. She had done too many evil things before, which exhausted the emperor's goodwill towards her.

"The emperor still dotes on the empress, the one from Yongshou Palace is the one who exhausted the emperor's goodwill." Yunxiu didn't say a word, and that one is really the laughing stock of the harem.

In the past, he bullied De Concubine relying on his status, but now De Concubine has become De Concubine, but she has changed from Niu Concubine to Niu Concubine.I am afraid that no one can bear this gap in my heart.

"Concubine Niu...heh..." The imperial concubine sneered, and she felt comforted when she thought that Concubine Niu was even more miserable than herself.

Yunxiu saw that she was not so disappointed, so she whispered: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to take revenge on Concubine De..."

The imperial concubine frowned, and said sternly: "Don't talk about bad ideas, I don't want to be grounded again."

"This matter will never happen, please rest assured, Madam."

"Then you can talk about it first." The imperial concubine didn't have any hope at all.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the relationship between Noble Wei and Empress Depin?"

"Naturally. What are you trying to say?"

Yunxiu didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and said honestly: "Wei Guiren has a very good relationship with Empress Debi, but if the eighth elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the sixth elder brother become deadly enemies, can their relationship continue to be good? Empress , Brother Ba is being raised by you now, what kind of person he will grow up in the future, is it up to you to decide?"

The imperial concubine's eyes lit up, yes, this is indeed a good idea.It does take a little longer, but that's okay.

If the eighth elder brother really became rivals with the fourth and sixth elder brothers, would Mr. Wei still stick to De Concubine?Can Debi endure it forever?

At that time, the relationship between the two will definitely be shattered, and they will be able to fight on their own.

She couldn't take care of Depin, so she asked Eighth Prince to take care of Depin's son. This was a genius idea.

"No, that's not enough. I can also take this opportunity to win over nobleman Wei and let nobleman Wei completely betray Concubine De. Eighth elder brother is in my hands, so don't worry that nobleman Wei will not follow!" Thinking of this, the noble concubine was even more delighted Eyebrow, in this way, a nail has been planted in the Yonghe Palace!

"Your Majesty is wise." Yunxiu laughed, her idea is better.

"This is also thanks to your reminder. Your idea is good, and I will reward you." The noble concubine happily pulled out a gold hairpin and handed it over, and Yunxiu happily accepted it.

"Let nobleman Wei come over tomorrow, and say that I will allow her to see Eighth Brother one more time this month."

"Yes, ma'am."

Compared with the joy and excitement of the imperial concubine, the air pressure in Yongshou Palace is much lower.

Ever since she found out that she was not among the four concubines, Concubine Niu was sad and angry and cried for a whole day.

The next day, he stared blankly at the desolate courtyard again, like a walking corpse.

On the third day, I simply lay in bed and couldn't get up. It seemed that I was really in despair.

"Your Majesty, you have to cheer up." The Grand Palace Maid Chuxue felt anxious in her eyes, she hadn't been like this since she was grounded for so long, why couldn't she bear the blow this time?

"Heh, what are you cheering up? Others are rising every step of the way, but I was demoted. Seeing the people I stepped under my feet climbing higher than myself, how do you cheer me up?" Concubine Niu's state of mind collapsed. , Even reprimanding people is weak, completely lacking the style of the past.

"Your Majesty, hasn't the canonization ceremony been held yet? There is still a chance for everything. If those few committed crimes in the past two months, the emperor will definitely not canonize them as concubines. At that time, the empress will have Here's a chance." Chuxue tried to persuade her, but she also knew that this matter was difficult, and she just wanted to cheer up Concubine Niu.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Niu got up suddenly, staring at Chuxue with burning eyes.

"You're right. I haven't lost yet, and the canonization ceremony hasn't been held yet. I can't deal with Concubine De, and the rest? Concubine Rong, in particular, has long been out of favour. What does she have? Qualified to be one of the four concubines?"

The more Concubine Niu thought about it, her eyes became brighter. She was in a misunderstanding before. There was no need to deal with Concubine De. As long as one of them was pulled off the horse, she would have a chance!

Seeing her spirited up, Chuxue hurriedly cheered her up: "Yes, ma'am, we don't need to deal with everyone, we just need to deal with one easy one."

"Hmm." Niu Ni jumped out of bed while thinking, Chuxue stepped forward to help her put on her shoes and dress her up.

After a while, Concubine Niu finally said: "Concubine Hui is not easy to deal with, she is too close to Concubine De, she may attract Concubine De's help, besides, she herself has nothing to catch."

"Concubine Yi and Concubine De had a feud, but it is said that after the Mulan Paddock, Concubine Yi took the initiative to reconcile, and Concubine De also expressed that she should let the past go. Only Concubine Rong, because the third elder brother dealt with the fourth elder brother twice in the Mulan paddock, attracted a lot of attention. Debi is very upset, I'm afraid this matter will always be kept in her heart."

"If I deal with Concubine Rong, Concubine De will definitely not stop her, and maybe she will help... By the way, I suddenly remembered something, and I knew it by chance. When Concubine De was still a court lady, Concubine Rong Concubine Rong once attacked her and almost killed His Highness the Crown Prince. If this matter is exposed, Concubine Rong will definitely have no reason to be promoted again!"

When Chuxue was startled, Concubine Rong almost killed His Highness the Crown Prince?when did it happen?But she dared not ask, the more she knew about some things, the more dangerous she would be.

Concubine Niu was in high spirits, she knew how to deal with Concubine Rong.

So on the second day, rumors spread from the harem one after another, saying that when Concubine De was still working in the Palace of Compassion, Concubine Rong had sent someone to poison her dim sum, which was made for the emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince. , Concubine Rong clearly wanted to get rid of His Highness the Crown Prince with the help of Concubine De, and then put the blame on Concubine De.

It was the concubine De's concubine Hong Fu Qitian who saw through Concubine Rong's plot in advance and secretly reported it to the empress dowager, so the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince escaped.

The content of this rumor is too scary, so at first everyone only listened to it as gossip, but later more and more people spread it, and they all said it with a sense of meaning, and gradually everyone believed it.

Especially when the servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace came out to confirm that there was indeed a poisoning incident in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and even the name of the poisoner was revealed, everyone had to believe it!

Later, older court ladies confirmed that after that incident, the harem ushered in a strict investigation, and many dirty things were found out.But at that time, no one knew the origin of the matter, and it was forgotten after a long time.

All of a sudden, everyone was talking about it. It turns out that Empress Rong did such a terrible thing back then, which is really unimaginable.

Within two days, Ma Guan also heard about it. At first it was Yuan He who reported it, and then Zhu Yun, Cai Wei, Qing Han and others also came to report one after another, and the source of the inquest was different.

Obviously, the harem is almost spreading.

As the person involved in this matter, Ma Guan knows the cause and effect best, but even she has no definite evidence to prove that Concubine Rong did it.It was also for this reason that he never made a move against Concubine Rong.

What's going on now?The person who spread the word knew better than her?Who in the end passed it on?What is the purpose?

Her first reaction was that someone was going to fuck her again, but after much deliberation, she couldn't think of any harm to her. Instead, Concubine Rong fell into a huge vortex.

Could it be that someone was fighting for her?Then why not tell her directly?

For this rumor, she has always remained vigilant, and she has not been complacent just because the content is beneficial to her.

For this reason, she specially invited Concubine Hui to find out where the source of the rumor came from.

"Didn't my sister let this out?" Concubine Hui was also blunt and asked immediately.

"Why would my sister think that way?" Ma Guan cried out inwardly. Even Concubine Hui thought so, and everyone else must have the same.

Is this the purpose of the people behind the scenes?

"It's really not you?" This time it was Concubine Hui's turn to be surprised.

Ma Juan smiled bitterly and said: "I had doubts about this back then, but I suffered from no evidence, so I endured it for so many years. If I had evidence, why would I spread any rumors? I would report it to the emperor directly."

"That's true. Then who told it? It can't be Concubine Rong herself."

"I can't figure it out either. Who else knows this better than me? Presumably only Concubine Rong herself is the only one."

Ma Quan shook her head, and Concubine Rong was not crazy, how could she do such a thing?

"This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise if it reaches the emperor's ears and I can't produce evidence, others will say that I deliberately slandered."

"That's the reason. Don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate." Concubine Hui saw that she was pregnant again, and she was inconvenient, so she picked her up by herself.

What's more, it's really not suitable for Debi to come forward in person.

Just when Ma Yuan was in doubt, in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Rong was also extremely doubtful, and fear was mixed with doubt.

She had done this for so many years, and she thought the clothes were perfect, but she didn't expect that the concubine De, who was still a court lady at that time, would see through everything and even cost her an eyeliner.

After that, because she was afraid, she didn't deal with Ma Guan again, and the matter gradually calmed down.

But he didn't expect that he would be poked out at this juncture.

Her first reaction was that De Concubine did it. After all, this matter has nothing to do with others. De Concubine did this because she didn't want her to be the fourth concubine!

But even if she knew this, she couldn't stop it, because it was true.

If she ignored the rumors, others would think she was guilty; but if she allowed the rumors to develop, sooner or later it would reach the emperor's ears and lead to a thorough investigation by the emperor.

Although there is no evidence, she is worried about herself. What if she fails to resist and confesses out of fear?In this harem, no one can resist the coercion of the emperor.

She walked up and down the room anxiously, even thinking about whether to ask Debi to confess her mistake.But in case there is no conclusive evidence from Debi, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap by going there?

The more Concubine Rong thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she began to regret in her heart, why was she so impatient back then, and went to deal with a court lady?

"Qiu Lin...could it be this bitch who said it?" She gritted her teeth secretly. At that time, only the two of them knew about it. Later, when Qiu Lin left the palace, only she in the palace knew about it.

If she doesn't say it herself, it can only be said by Qiulin.

……

A day later, Concubine Hui had a clue, and the source came from Yongshou Palace!

"It's strange, how come it's so easy to find out this time?" Ma Guan was puzzled. There were other rumors and rumors circulating in the past, but no specific person could be found after checking.

It was as if the other party was waiting for them to investigate.

"No matter what the reason is, as long as you find the source, it will be easy, sister, why don't we go to Yongshou Palace right now?" Concubine Hui also felt strange, and at this point, she believed that De Concubine really didn't spread the word.

This Concubine Niu has always been an enemy of Concubine De, why did she help her get Concubine Rong this time?

"I have to go there." Ma Guan also temporarily suppressed his doubts, anyway, he would know what was going on when he saw someone.

They each brought two maids, but when they arrived at Yongshou Palace, they were told that Concubine Niu had already been waiting in the main hall.

Ma Guan was taken aback, as expected, Niu Niu did it on purpose!

"The two of you have finally arrived. What should I call you now? Concubine Hui? Concubine De?" Concubine Niu saw them entering the door, and greeted them with a bit of yin and yang.

Concubine Hui frowned slightly, and said: "The emperor has not formally conferred the title, so there is no need for Sister Niu Concubine to do so. I came here today to find Mingjuan, the court lady next to Sister Niu Concubine. Why are you spreading rumors in the palace?"

Ming Juan was standing behind Concubine Niu, her face turned pale and her head dropped to her chest.

"Please sit down, both of you, I will tell you about this slowly." Niu Ni smiled happily, the fish had already taken the bait.

The two of Ma Guan looked at each other, sat down together, and then looked at Concubine Niu, her complexion was much better than before, and she had basically returned to her former splendor.

"Sister Niu, just say what you want." Ma Guan was really curious, how did this Niu know what happened back then.

"Sister Debi is curious about how I knew about that matter? Coincidentally, I found out about this matter from Xiangxue, that's right, it's the court lady who once harmed you." Niu Bi smiled and looked at Ma Yuan, Ma Yuan became more and more confused.

Xiangxue entered the palace to avenge her sister Xiangmei, but this happened after Xiangmei was killed with a stick, so it had nothing to do with Xiangmei or Xiangxue.

"When Xiangxue entered the palace, in order to avenge you, she often investigated matters related to you, so she met many court ladies. The one she got to know the most was the palace maids of Zhongcui Palace. After all, her sister worked in Zhongcui Palace all those years ago. .”

Concubine Niu didn't hold back anymore, and told what she knew.

"It's a coincidence that once a court lady leaked her words, she told Xiangxue about it. But she said it vaguely. After all, the court lady didn't know much. In fact, only Rong Rong The concubine and the palace maid Qiulin knew about it, but Qiulin liked to talk in her sleep, and because she was too scared at that time, she said it in her dream."

"After Xiangxue found out, she told me again, but this information was of no use to me, so I ignored it until now..."

Speaking of this, Niu Pin looked at Ma Yuan meaningfully. She knew that Ma Yuan was a smart person and would definitely understand her purpose.

"Then why did you say it now? You spread it deliberately." Ma Yuan believed Niu Niu's words almost instantly, because this kind of inside story is very secret, and it is definitely not something outsiders can know.

"Of course it's to win the trust of sister Yu Debin, and also to resolve our previous hatred." Niu Bi smiled happily: "Is my gift okay?"

"Just that? Isn't it for restoring your status?" Ma Guan was not stupid, and quickly guessed Niu Niu's intentions.

For Concubine Niu, there was probably nothing more uncomfortable than the fact that the enemy was still promoted after being demoted.After thinking about it for a while, Ma Guan figured out the cause and effect.

Of the four concubines enshrined in Jin this time, only Concubine Rong was the least favored, and she offended her.Coincidentally, Concubine Niu knew some secrets, so she did it behind her back.

"Sister De Concubine is really smart. Of course, I also have selfish intentions. I hope to restore the concubine position. Isn't it good that we each take what we need?" Niu Concubine admitted generously, because this matter still needs De Concubine's help to make it beautiful in front of the emperor. Say a few words.

Ma Guan shook his head, and said calmly: "Then you have made a wrong decision, and you have overestimated my influence on the emperor. I have no ability to change the emperor's decision."

Even if the emperor cancels the quota of Concubine Rong, he may not choose another Concubine Niu.

And from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Concubine Niu to resume her status either.

"My sister is unwilling to help?" Concubine Niu suppressed her smile, she did not expect Concubine De to be so ignorant when she gave such a big gift.

"It's not that I don't want to help, but it's beyond my ability. The most I can do is thank you in front of the emperor. Anything more depends on your own performance and the emperor's decision." Ma Yuan didn't want to be too stiff, At that time, it is impossible to say that Concubine Niu will be required to testify.

Concubine Niu gritted her teeth, her complexion changed several times, and she finally asked, "Are you sure you won't interfere?"

"Sure." Maru replied without hesitation.

"Okay, as long as you can do these two things, I will admit it." Niu Pin took a deep breath, angry on the face, but secretly happy in her heart.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, she never counted on Debi, and Debi's promise not to obstruct is the greatest help.

Concubine Niu was also a bachelor, so she went to Qianqing Palace with Concubine Ma Guan and Concubine Hui on the spot.

After Liang Jiugong reported, the three were invited in.

Concubine Hui first told the gossip and gossip in the harem in the past few days, and then how to find out the source, then Concubine Niu knelt on the ground and wept and told everything she knew.

After listening to the three people's narration, Kangxi remained silent for a long time. The truth of that incident was actually like this!

At that time, Ma Quan was still working in the Compassion Ning Palace, she was just an insignificant little maid, but in the end, someone put croton in the red bean muffin.If it wasn't for her cleverness, she would have committed the crime of poisoning the prince back then and died in Huangquan.

Whenever he thinks of this, Kangxi is startled.

How vicious are the people behind the scenes?In order to frame a court lady, even the prince's safety was ignored!

"Call Concubine Rong to confront him." Kangxi's face sank like water, this matter must be clarified!

Not long after, Concubine Rong was brought over. Her complexion was not very good-looking, and her eyes were full of fear and fear.

In fact, when she learned that the emperor called her to go to Qianqing Palace, she guessed that she had been exposed.

"Concubine Rong, Concubine Niu accused you of poisoning the red bean muffin with the intention of poisoning the crown prince. Do you have something to say?" Kangxi stared at Concubine Rong coldly, seeing Concubine Rong's fearful eyes, he basically believed that this matter.

"I'm wronged, how could the concubine do such a thing..." Hearing Kangxi say this himself, Concubine Rong almost collapsed at that time.

But she never expected that this matter was identified by Pin Niu, how did Pin Niu know about it?

Concubine Niu interrupted her triumphantly: "Sister Concubine Rong, you'd better plead guilty quickly. If you plead guilty voluntarily, the emperor will show some mercy. If you are found out, you will know the consequences yourself?"

"Oh, I forgot, I'm afraid you still don't know how this matter got out. You used to have a big court lady named Qiulin by your side. This Qiulin likes to talk in sleep, especially when you are nervous. She helped you do this." After this incident, I talked in my sleep for several nights, so that the maids in the same room heard it..."

Concubine Niu deliberately paused, seeing Concubine Rong's face completely changed, and her eyes became more frightened.

That's how it got out!Sure enough, it was Qiulin who spread the word!

But what's the use of saying this now?The emperor knows it all, and the emperor will definitely not let her go.

Before, she was happy to be promoted to Concubine Rong, but she didn't expect the turning point to come so quickly. This is all retribution.

Her last hope was also shattered, she collapsed on the ground, tears welled up, and began to cry.

"It was the concubine who was sorry for His Royal Highness, the concubine and sister... The concubine was also deceived by lard back then, so she did such a thing... Woooooo... The concubine knew that she had made a big mistake, so she dared not Please forgive me, please punish me..."

"It really is you." Kangxi listened to her own confession, and the air pressure in his body became even lower. He hated iron and steel and asked, "Do you know that poisoning the crown prince means decapitating?"

"The concubine didn't want to poison His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty, the concubine just wanted to embarrass Concubine De..." Concubine Rong argued feebly.

Although the amount of croton was small, it was enough to give the prince diarrhea. It does not mean that poisoning is called poisoning.

"You still dare to argue? Back then, the crown prince was less than two years old, but you committed such a vicious hand, and even intended to put the blame on the concubine De, how vicious? I really have no eyes, and I didn't see that you are such a virtuous person, and you still want to be promoted to the throne!" You are a concubine, your virtue is not worthy!"

Kangxi was really angry, if Concubine Rong was exposed at this time, wouldn't it mean that he didn't know who he was?How can he save face?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Niu Niu coldly again, don't think he doesn't know what Niu Niu is thinking.Hmph, this Niu concubine has a lot of flamboyant intestines, and she is not a kind person.

She wanted to restore her status, but he refused!

The author has something to say: The battle for the position of concubine has started, Hin is fierce!
