The Virtuous Concubine

Liang Jiugong came to ask Malu to go over and see the prince. Malu observed Liang Jiugong's expression and was still respectful. Liang Jiugong saw that the Empress Defei was looking at him, and nodded very slightly, indicating that the Empress Defei could rest assured about today's matter, and there would be no big problem.

Malu then changed her clothes to meet people and followed Liang Jiugong. When they reached the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong went in to report, while Malu squinted his eyes and looked around in the sun outside.

There were quite a few people coming... She saw a large group of servants waiting on the side. There were servants of Concubine Hui, the eldest prince, the prince, and even Jingyi! Under the gaze of everyone, Jingyi went to meet her master openly and said to Malu: "Greetings, Madam Defei, the clothes embroidered for the fourth prince can only be shown to you when the young master is free."

Malu understood and nodded: "It's just a small matter, you can watch it anytime."

As the master and servant were talking, Consort Xuan De came in. Ma Lu had heard the news from Jing Yi and roughly knew what was going on. When she entered, she saw people kneeling on the ground, with only Kangxi and the crown prince standing in the middle. She couldn't help but be surprised.

But despite her surprise, she still found a clean place to stand, knelt down to pay her respects to the emperor, and blended in with the group of kneeling people.

The prince was still a little weak at this time, but seeing that Concubine De was so "obedient", he couldn't help but smile.

Kangxi was furious at first, but when he saw Defei kneeling down just after she came in and didn't know what was going on, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you kneeling? Have you done anything wrong?"

Huh? Hearing this, Malu raised her head and looked at Kangxi, then looked at Huifei, the eldest prince, the fourth prince and others who were kneeling on both sides. What she meant was, they are all kneeling, how can I stand?

Kangxi also understood. He... He hadn't seen Concubine De for a long time since the dispute in Baohua Palace.

Now when I see her for the first time, I have to admit that I still miss her a little...

Kangxi coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then said, "Get up, Old Fourth."

Malu had a lot of questions in her mind! No matter how much they quarreled, she was still the Defei. Why did she call her the Fourth Prince's wife now? Isn't this the same as calling her the Fourth Prince's wife?

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, the prince really wanted to laugh, and he could hardly hold back his coughing: "Madam Defei, please get up. This matter has nothing to do with you. I just asked you to come and listen because I was afraid you would be worried."

Malu thought that her little teacher was the best. She stood up quickly, walked to the side and gently kicked the Fourth Prince: "You naughty boy! What did you do wrong?"

Kangxi really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. What was Concubine De doing?

He then ordered the innocent Fourth Prince to stand up, and asked Liang Jiugong to bring a few chairs over. After everyone sat down, Kangxi nodded to Wei Zhu and said, "Bring up the prisoner Sophia."

This? Malu was a little worried and looked at the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince signaled his mother to stay calm and just watch the show.

Sophia was dragged up and covered in wounds, but she was still in good spirits. Malu, who had been watching quietly for a while, finally realized that the prince's sudden asthma attack was really caused by Sophia!

She was actually proficient in Chinese and Manchu, and was also a "doctor". She followed him in hiding just to find an opportunity to poison Kangxi. However, Kangxi loved the crown prince very much, and most of the tributes were selected by the crown prince first. Because of her outstanding appearance and fluent language, she was chosen by the crown prince as a zither player.

The prince... It's okay to attack the prince! Luosha State thought it was worthwhile to kill the prince of Qing Dynasty, so every time she taught a class, she would use various methods to test how to bypass the tight protection around the prince and attack him.

Eventually, when she herself fell ill, she used Western medicine, but accidentally discovered that the prince was allergic to highly purified willow bark sap, and she was overjoyed.

After the willow bark juice is purified, it is a magical medicine in their Rakshasa country. It has antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, and can treat headaches, toothaches, muscle pains, rheumatism and other diseases. And because it is completely non-toxic, it is basically impossible for the imperial doctors here to detect it.

Just as she was about to take action, she was taken away by the Fourth Prince who came to the house and given to the Empress Defei. Her plan to poison the prince failed again. At this point, the prince looked at the Empress Defei and the Fourth Prince with gratitude.

If it weren't for my fourth brother, I would have died at the hands of this evil woman. Hearing this, Malu was a little confused: "This is because the prince is blessed with a good life and has the blessing of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, the little ghost can't get close to him, but why-"

Kangxi sneered and looked at Concubine Hui: "You want to ask why Concubine Hui and the eldest prince are kneeling here today, right?"

When Concubine Hui heard Kangxi mention her, she burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Kangxi became even angrier: "You are wrongly accusing me? Then tell me why the willow trees in Zhongcui Palace are often replaced, and why each one has a lot of bark missing? This enemy spy admitted it herself, and you made it easy for her!"

Kangxi started to abuse Huifei crazily. He forgot all the love and praise for the eldest prince in the past. Instead, he dug up many things and scolded her from head to toe.

She was disrespectful to Empress Yuan when she first entered the palace, she didn’t educate the eldest prince well, she was very ambitious, she only cared about the power of the palace, she was plotting something bad, she wanted to harm the crown prince, etc. She even criticized Concubine Hui’s favorite food, saying that she was extravagant and that the food she ate was too cheap and tasteless. . .

Malu felt heartbroken for Concubine Hui when she heard this. She wondered in her heart whether this was really the case, or whether Kangxi was using this as an excuse to criticize Concubine Hui, the eldest prince, and the Nalan family behind them.

The system was curious: "Wasn't it Nalan who did it? He swore yesterday that he would keep you safe."

Ma Lu spat in his heart: "How is it possible? Now the Nalan family is still relying on the eldest prince. He will not do whatever he wants and put the blame on Concubine Hui."

Malu couldn't help but whisper to the Fourth Prince: "So how was the poison administered?"

When the fourth prince saw his mother asking, he also whispered, "It was said that it was smeared on the piano keys. Fortunately, this person said that this poison is only effective on the prince, so he didn't make it public when he first found it."

Depend on!

So the keyboard that I played every day was poisonous! Malu looked at Sophia, who was lying on the ground in a puddle of mud, in disbelief, and felt that he had been deeply let down.

The system was not that angry: "It turns out that the prince is allergic to aspirin!" It explained to Malu, "It seems that this person knew that the prince was allergic to aspirin and took advantage of this to trigger his asthma."

Malu was very curious: "Don't we need to take it internally? Will I be allergic if I come into direct contact with it?"
