The Virtuous Concubine

Kangxi's face was as dark as ink at this moment. He felt that he had never been so aggrieved before. Even in the previous dynasty, no one dared to play with him like this. People died in front of him, and all the clues were cut off.

Malu watched all this from the video behind, and was also in a state of shock. She had never expected that the person behind the scenes was so powerful that he could make Doctor Lin disregard his own life and the lives of his family. Who could resist Kangxi's wrath?

The system was also hesitant: "It seems that we have wrongly accused the Wuya family before... It is normal that we can't find out. Kangxi and his men dared to play tricks, and asking the Wuya family to investigate is really a bit too much to ask."

Malu thought about it and agreed, but she still had to secretly cultivate some power from the previous dynasty for Xiao Si'er to use in the future. The Wuya family was obviously not enough.

Kangxi had everyone tidy up everything and asked his advisor to investigate the matter personally. He then went back to check on Malu. When he entered Malu's inner room, Kangxi's face was no longer showing any signs of illness. Malu didn't pretend to be fainted. The two of them snuggled together and listened to the imperial physician's instructions. Malu looked up at Kangxi with infinite dependence in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have a request. I wonder if Your Majesty can grant it."

Kangxi nodded: "Just tell me."

Malu grabbed his sleeve and said a little embarrassedly: "Doctor Lin can no longer take care of me. Come to think of it, I feel sorry for Doctor Rong who suggested the signs of twins before... I made him sit on the bench for a long time. I wonder if I can let him take Doctor Lin's place?"

Kangxi naturally had no reason not to agree: "You are right. He was able to feel your pulse at an early stage. He must be a capable man. I will help you investigate his background. If it is clean, let him take care of you! Take good care of your pregnancy and don't worry about other things."

The subtext was to tell her not to ask about Doctor Lin anymore. Malu showed a grateful smile on her face. She knew that Kangxi's words were true. As long as there was nothing wrong with Doctor Rong, she could rest assured based on his character and medical skills.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will take good care of my pregnancy and live up to your high expectations."

Kangxi was relieved to see that she was so tactful. As long as she didn't make a fuss, everything would be fine. "I trust you. You have always been my virtuous concubine. I have some things to deal with, so I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself. If there is anything wrong, tell me immediately. Don't be afraid to disturb me."

Malu nodded meekly and watched Kangxi leave. Kangxi walked quickly, his robe fluttering like a gust of wind passing through the corridor.

After Kangxi left the Yonghe Palace, Malu quickly called Bai Xia, "Hurry up, send this medicine to Bai Fu. She has suffered a lot today. These are priceless medicines. Use them on her quickly. Then tell the people in the Yonghe Palace not to discuss what happened today and to keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, if the emperor blames you, it will be no small matter."

Bai Xia quickly picked up the medicine box and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go right away."

Malu was the only one in the room again, so she said to the system, "Quick, let me see what Kangxi is doing now?"

Kangxi was still sitting in the sedan chair, with a dark face and no words. Although he had always regarded himself as a benevolent monarch since he took power, he actually used an iron fist to govern the government. He never tolerated any behavior that dared to challenge the imperial power. But what happened today obviously touched his bottom line.

When he entered the Qianqing Palace, he smashed everything. It was not easy for him to hold it in until now! Now he could vent his anger, like a volcano erupting. He didn't even look at the priceless treasures and just threw them to the ground, which made Malu feel distressed.

"If you don't want it, give it to me. Why are you throwing it?"

After a while of fighting, he called Liang Jiugong again: "Go to the consulting firm and tell me if there is any progress."

Liang Jiugong was trembling like a quail: "Master Gu came to report a quarter of an hour ago, saying that there are some clues, but they involve... involving nobles in the palace, so I may need to report to you in person later."

Kangxi felt relieved after hearing this. After all, they were not all useless! He picked up a memorial and started reading it. Malu also wanted to know who did it, so he asked Bai Xia to take a plate of fruit and some melon seeds and eat them while lying on the bed and waiting.

He was halfway through eating the melon seeds when the consultant came in hurriedly, with some blood on his sleeves. Kangxi knelt down when he saw the consultant come in, put down the memorial in his hand without waiting for him to finish his greetings, and looked at the consultant with a sharp gaze: "Speak."

The consultant said in a clear and concise manner: "Your Majesty, I have found some key clues during my investigation. These clues directly point to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tong, Concubine Yi and Concubine Jing. Because the matter is of great importance and the investigation time is short... I dare not make a decision on my own, so I come to ask Your Majesty for your judgment."

The consulting firm handed the results of the investigation and the preliminary confession to Kangxi. Kangxi circled some words on the confession with a pen while reading it, and finally handed it back to the consulting firm: "I will give you another ten days to investigate again."

The consultant took the thick stack of confessions and bowed deeply: "I will do my best."

Malu turned off the video after seeing this, but she felt a little confused. This harem turmoil involved too many unexpected people, and every name was so well-known that she didn't know who to look for for revenge.

The Empress Dowager suppressed her position as a concubine because of her birth, and Concubine Tong wanted to take her child away. The new hatred and old hatred added up to nothing. But what about Concubine Yi? What about Concubine Jing? Yesterday, she played the piano to attract Kangxi. Was it also part of the Lin Imperial Doctor incident?

When Malu thought of this, the melon seeds in his hand no longer tasted fragrant.

The system could only advise her: "It is very likely that these are traps or obstacles deliberately set by the people behind the scenes. It is better to wait for the results of the investigation by the consulting firm in ten days. At least the danger on the surface has been resolved now, and the people behind the scenes have no time to plan a new plan, so it should be safe."

Malu also felt that this was true, and her anxiety eased a little. But she was still a little anxious, so she went to the side hall to see the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince seemed to be awakened by the noise outside. Usually he would still be asleep at this time, but he was holding the guardrail that Malu had added to the side of the bed, stretching his neck and looking hard in the direction of the main hall.

Malu walked into the side hall quietly, and her heart melted when she saw the Fourth Prince in such a state. Baby, is he worried about her? She walked quickly to the bed, gently picked up the Fourth Prince, and coaxed him softly.

The Fourth Prince was now able to speak in relatively short complete sentences. He asked directly, "Is there anything wrong, mother?" His childish voice carried a hint of maturity and concern that did not belong to his age.

She gently stroked the Fourth Prince's hair and replied softly, "Mother is fine, it's just that your royal father is here today and the palace is bustling." She didn't want to make the Fourth Prince feel uneasy, and thought that the Fourth Prince probably didn't understand what she was saying, but she still patiently explained to the child.

It was not known whether the Fourth Prince understood or not. He just snuggled tightly in Malu's arms, patting her back gently with his little hands, as if he was comforting his mother in his own way.
