The Virtuous Concubine

Thinking of this, Malu really felt a chill down his spine.

The system advised her to observe first. Too much suspicion and precaution would only make things go to the worst.

Before Malu could figure it out, something new happened and the harem was also shocked.

At Xiaoqi's full-month banquet, Kangxi announced that he would give Xiaoqi the name Yinzuo.

This name shocked everyone and caused a lot of discussion in the previous dynasty. No one knew what Kangxi was thinking. He still loved the prince very much, but he named the dragon son of the twins Yinzuo. The word "Zuo" refers to the fortune of the throne or the country. Of course, if you insist on explaining it, it can also be used to refer to a person's fortune or life span.

But this word is especially used to refer to the life span of the emperor. For example, "祚命" refers to the life span or fortune of the emperor. No matter how Malu spread the word, explaining that "祚" means to bestow or confer, and that it is a ritual to pray to the gods for fortune, hoping that he can have long-term fortune, it was useless.

People just feel that Kangxi has high hopes for Xiaoqi.

But Malu saw that her efforts were useless, so she gave up. This name was indeed too eye-catching, and she suspected that Kangxi wanted to flatter her and the child. If it wasn't that if one of the twins got into trouble, it would mean that he and the Qing Dynasty were not favored by heaven, then Xiaoqi would definitely get into trouble.

Thinking of this, she asked the system: "How did Yinzuo die in history?"

The system responded quickly: "The existing records show that he died of illness at the age of six. However, during that period, there were large sections of blank space in Kangxi's daily records and other documents. It seems that a lot of information was deleted artificially."

These words seemed to reveal a corner of history, exposing the shadow hidden behind it.

Malu's mouth twitched, thinking that it was probably done by the fourth child... She thought of her own ruthless and black-hearted fourth child, sighed, and used 30,000 points to enable the function of checking other people's conditions, including the health item.

These points, earned in Qing Dynasty, spent in Qing Dynasty, once divided I want to take them home!

Malu hadn't spent money on the system for quite a while. The system was living comfortably thanks to Malu's merits. But who would complain about having too much money? Malu's sudden spending today surprised the system. The system's voice was filled with a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal: "Why are you so generous today!"

The system actually wanted to make Malu happy, and asked knowingly. She just wanted to protect Xiaoqi!

Seeing the system's overjoyed look, Malu couldn't help but chuckle, as if she had returned to the time when she first came to this world. At that time, she carefully calculated every point, and every time the system counted the points, the small-minded joy it showed always made her laugh.

She originally wanted to wait until Xiao Si'er grew up and sent Kangxi to his death before turning on this function. But Xiao Qi died of illness at the age of six, and she had to see whether it was Xiao Qi's congenital deficiency, or the limited medical conditions in the Qing Dynasty, or someone had bad intentions and was hiding murderous intentions.

She was more inclined to the last possibility, because she knew the physical condition of Concubine De very well, and the child should be healthy. Moreover, the child had grown up safely to the age of six, so how could he suddenly die of illness? She still had to be on guard and monitor Xiaoqi's physical condition in real time to prepare for a rainy day.

Moreover, she felt that she not only had to guard against the concubines in the harem, but also against the ambitious princes, the scheming Empress Dowager, and even Kangxi and Xiao Si'er, whom she had high hopes for.

In the face of power struggles, she would assume the greatest malice towards everyone.

But since the function is turned on, of course it has to be used! Malu and the system put down those heavy things and checked the physical conditions of the people in the harem and the front court.

First, she looked at Kangxi's body. Overall, he was healthy, but a little anxious and tired. The burden of power and the busyness of government affairs had obviously eroded his energy unconsciously. According to estimates, he really had another 50 to 60 years to live.

The Empress Dowager was in a worse situation. Especially with the coming of winter, she wore the woolen clothes made by Malu more and more frequently. The lead and realgar dyes in those clothes had a significant impact on her aging body, causing her health to deteriorate and she had no energy to interfere in the affairs of the harem and the former court.

No wonder the Empress Dowager didn't do anything to torture herself, Malu breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of this, Malu suddenly realized that Wen Xian would also be held by her. Fortunately, the system said that the Empress Dowager always wore her clothes inside, and there were layers of clothes outside, so it would not hurt Wen Xian.

Then Malu looked at Concubine Tong's condition. Her physical condition was worse than expected and she was almost on the verge of collapse. In order to maintain her glamorous appearance, Concubine Tong almost completely relied on various tonics. However, although these drugs temporarily gave her vitality, they also unknowingly hollowed out her body, leaving her body almost like an empty shell.

It is like a magnificent palace, but the interior is hollow and crumbling.

Malu looked at the data displayed by the system, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She felt sympathy and a little sad. Concubine Tong's increasingly exhausted life was the fate of others in this deep palace.

After reading it, Malu decided to check on Concubine Wei. She was still pregnant with the Eighth Prince, so could she see the Eighth Prince's health condition? As it turned out, she could only see her pregnancy condition. Concubine Wei was very weak, and the baby was not in good condition. Although she was not at the stage of miscarriage, the baby might be a little weak.

After seeing these people, Malu finally plucked up the courage to check Xiaoqi's physical condition. Her heartbeat accelerated at this moment, and she waited nervously for the results. She was really afraid that Xiaoqi's disease was congenital and could not be cured. Fortunately, the data showed that Xiaoqi was very healthy and energetic, without any signs of illness or discomfort.

This made Malu feel relieved and at the same time, it further confirmed her guess: Yinzuo's death in history was not accidental, but was the result of someone's murder!

She was feeling irritated when suddenly there was a knocking sound at the stained glass window, tap-ta-ta-ta-ta. Although the sound was light, it clearly penetrated the silence of the night and interrupted her thoughts.

She stood up vigilantly, her heart full of doubts: Who dares to knock on her window here at this late hour? She wanted to call Bai Xia Bai Fu over, but hesitated for a moment. She just turned on the video and saw that there was no one outside the window. Then she walked slowly to the window with confidence and stretched out her hand to open the window.

She gently pushed open the window, and a gust of night wind blew in, bringing with it the fresh fragrance of flowers in the courtyard. On the windowsill, there was a small wooden box quietly placed, with no patterns or patterns on the box, only a red ribbon wrapped elegantly.

Malu looked around, but saw only the dark night, swaying shadows of trees in the courtyard, and no trace of anyone.
