The Virtuous Concubine

Malu could find an opportunity to have Fourteenth go to the Northwest Camp as in history. She was even confident that the Fourteenth she had trained could be like Nian Gengyao in later generations, with extraordinary strategy and courage, and gradually take control of the Northwest military affairs.

When the sandstorm from the frontier blows, Fourteen will become a tough and rugged young general, and there will no longer be any trace of Nalan's bookish air or his facial features that are too delicate for a man.

But such an arrangement is ultimately only a stopgap measure. After all, Kangxi or the next emperor would not allow the Fourteenth Prince to stay in the northwest forever.

In this case, Fourteenth is no different from a vassal king.

If he wants to rest assured, Nalan must die.

Only when he dies can this secret be truly sealed in darkness forever.

Just like Jingyi said, there is no evidence until death.

Malu raised his hand to cover his eyes and decided to go to sleep for the time being and think about how Nalan died later.

Anyway, he won't die for a while, so he still has plenty of time to plan. Malu remembered that Nalan was not in the capital now, but went to Jiangnan as a cover for Yinzuo.

Malu sighed and said, what a sin.

The retribution of being in love!

Malu turned over irritably, wondering why not just let Nalan die in the gentle land of Jiangnan?

But the Uya family doesn't have this ability. Only Yinzhen and Yinzuo have this ability. But letting Yinzhen do this, the cost is too high. Yinzuo... Forget it, Yinzuo is a good boy, so don't let him do this kind of thing and dirty his hands.

Malu sighed. Did she have to do it herself? She eventually embarked on the path of the Black Widow, first with Nalan, then with Kangxi. . .

Why not let him stay in Jiangnan and be a local official? It doesn't have to be too big, so he doesn't need to report to the capital, and people in the capital can't see him, so I don't want to think about the fourteenth one.

He doesn't have to die...

At this time, her tired body could no longer support her, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she fell asleep.

Malu slept soundly, but the prince tossed and turned in Yuqing Palace, keeping his eyes open all night long.

How come she is so ill?

Who harmed her? Wasn't she usually quite smart? Everyone in Yonghe Palace obeyed her orders. How could she fall into someone else's trap so easily?

Is she feeling better now? Is she still sad?

After the prince came out of the Qianqing Palace, he was upset by these problems and began to lose his temper and torture his servants.

However, he always tortured those spies, so his power was basically stable. There were at least 800 servants who were removed from Yuqing Palace, and none of them were the prince's true confidants.

At first he was just really angry, but later... later he learned to use his temper as an excuse to cleanse the people around him, but his reputation for tyranny spread, but he still had the emperor to help suppress it.

His Royal Highness is not only worried about Malu, he is also not very satisfied with the Emperor's handling of the matter. Shouldn't he get to the bottom of it and give her an explanation?

It was simply because the biggest suspect, the concubine who had a grudge against Malu, was about to give birth! The emperor had some concerns, so he tried to smooth things over, hoping to make a big deal out of a small matter.

It has to be said that the prince understood Kangxi, but he did not understand Malu.

After tossing and turning in bed all night, he was extremely conflicted. Finally, he decided to ask someone to go to Yonghe Palace to take a look. Even if it was just a simple inquiry, it would be better than suffering in endless speculation.

It was just dawn and the morning light was breaking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately called Chen Xin and asked him to go to Yonghe Palace as soon as it was daybreak. Don't forget to bring some good medicinal herbs. It would be best if he first asked the Imperial Hospital which ones could be used.

Chen Xin was quite helpless, and tactfully told his parents that he had been to Yonghe Palace some time ago and had been turned away several times.

"Dog slave!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of breaking, a vase flew towards Chen Xin and shattered at Chen Xin's feet.

Hey!

Chen Xin glanced at the ground calmly, found a place to stand with almost no debris, bent his knees, and knelt down neatly. His movements were so skillful that it was heartbreaking.

He has practiced it all during this period of time!

The prince without Consort De Zhao was just this kind of irritable. If he was not satisfied, he would fly into a rage and take his anger out on others.

The prince questioned Chen Xin sternly, "When did you go to Yonghe Palace? You are getting bolder and bolder! You dare to act behind my back, and you are doing a better job."

Actually, the prince was just bluffing. He was in a panic, and even Chen Xin was turned away when she went there in person. So... was she really mad at him?

Or is your health really not good?

Chen Xin bowed even lower: "Your Highness, please calm down. I dare not have the slightest intention to act on my own. A few days ago, when Imperial Concubine De Zhao was in the worst condition, I thought that I would just go to see her in my own name and ask the people around her, and express my feelings to Your Highness so that the person in Yonghe Palace would know that Your Highness cares about her. Who would have thought... that in the end I only saw Aunt Bai Xia who was beside Her Majesty."

"It is my fault for not thinking carefully and not doing my job well. I hope Your Highness will show mercy and give me another chance. I will definitely not go next time."

As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, another vase exploded on the ground. With a sharp arc, the vase "crashed" and exploded on the ground beside Chen Xin. The fragments flew through the air, and some of them almost brushed Chen Xin's cheek, causing him to tremble violently.

"Idiot!" The prince roared, his roar shaking the windows of the palace. "Who told you not to go? Your head is full of mud, just guessing here! If you really find out some news, I won't blame you."

The prince took a step forward in a hurry and almost stepped on the broken pieces of the vase on the ground.

"You are so good, you backed down after being rejected. Bai Xia... Bai Xia, tell me everything she said to you before, word for word!"

The prince stared at Chen Xin who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Chen Xin told the prince everything that Bai Xia had said about "he was bedridden, refusing to see anyone, and the imperial physician was unwilling to see him", which made the prince very nervous.

So she was really ill at the time... and it seemed to be very serious, but why didn't she see a doctor?

The prince was acutely aware that something was wrong, and all the messy clues in his mind suddenly came together.

He originally thought that Malu wanted to win favor, and in order to go to the Nanyuan Palace, she used the excuse of being sick and refused to see the imperial physician. He thought that Bai Xia and the others would also cooperate with their master.

But now the Emperor has sent the imperial physician, and he has found such a serious problem, so her previous discomfort was real. But if she was really feeling unwell, why did she refuse the imperial physician in the palace, write such a letter, and endure the discomfort to go to the Nanyuan Palace?

There must be a reason!

When it was bright, Chen Xin still stood in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace with three large boxes.
