The Virtuous Concubine

After being slapped twice, Mayanzhu did not resist. She just closed her eyes as if dead and let Sai and Li do whatever they wanted.

Sai and Li said a few more words to her, but seeing that she still had no reaction, they left angrily.

After Ecan and Weiwu returned home, Ecan saw the two bloody slap marks on his granddaughter's face and her deathly pale face, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy.

The chaos at home was beyond his tolerance.

At this time, Sai and Li were still angry in the bedroom, crying to their trusted nanny, feeling that their lives were too hard and that other people's daughters were all caring little cotton-padded jackets.

Of the two children she gave birth to, one was very capable and opinionated, and didn't listen to her at all. The other one was incompetent and could do nothing. Neither of them knew how to be filial to their mother. She had worked so hard to raise them, but in the end, they got nothing in return.

Before she had finished wiping her tears, the old woman outside came running in in a panic.

"Oh no, oh no, master! oh no!" the old woman shouted breathlessly.

Sai and Li shouted angrily, "What's wrong? You are the one who is wrong! Are you looking for a fight?"

The woman quickly fell silent, and after catching her breath, she said, "Our yard has been sealed off! There are several big men outside."

Sai and Li stood up suddenly: "What?"

She did not care about anything else and hurried out to see what was happening. Instead, she saw several black-clad servants, guards and a few old women busy nailing the gate of the courtyard shut with wood.

Her face changed, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart. Sai Heli asked sternly: "What are you doing? This is Wuya Mansion, you can't do whatever you want in broad daylight!"

The servants looked at each other, and one of them who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and said respectfully, "Madam, this is the master's order, and we are also following his orders."

Saihe Li sneered, "How dare Weiwu, this coward, close my door? I want to meet him!"

The leader winked at the maids on both sides and asked everyone to continue working.

Seeing that these people were not buying it at all, Sai and Li thought about just walking out, thinking that these people would not dare to get close to her.

Unexpectedly, several maids nearby took ruthless action, twisted her hands and the hands of the servants around them, pushed them back into the yard, closed the door, and propped it up from the outside with a log as thick as a waist.

Sai and Li did not care about their identities and knocked on the door themselves: "You are so brave!!"

The man outside didn't answer her and continued to bang on the nails.

Sai and Li chatted for a while, but not only did she get no response, she was also exhausted. Like a deflated ball, she followed the anxious maids and women around her back to her room.

After seeing Mayanzhu's miserable condition, Ecan made a prompt decision to deal with Sai and Li.

Now is the cusp of the storm, and nothing can be done directly. Divorcing his wife will also affect Malu in the palace and Mayanzhu's marriage. So she can only disappear slowly.

Weiwu also didn't understand why a good family would gradually become what it is now. Didn't Sai and Li look so crazy in the early years?

But he naturally followed his father's instructions, had Saiheli's yard sealed off, and moved into the study room. He announced to the public that Mayanzhu was ill, Saiheli was unwilling to move around, and the entire Wuya Mansion was closed to visitors.

If Saihe Li is still so stubborn, then give her two doses of medicine and let her go peacefully.

After thinking about the situation at home, E Can decided to find a chance to pass the news to Yonghe Palace. Although he didn't want to bother her with such things, it was better than being exposed to Malu by others and then startling her pregnancy.

After Malu learned what happened at home, he fell into silence for a long time.

The system asked her: "Are you worried?"

Malu shook his head: "They asked for it, why should I take it to heart? Besides, E-chan handled it very well, it won't affect me."

As he said this, he looked at the pot of Dieffenbachia again, thinking that it was just right, as he could solve two problems at once.

Now that this messy home has become quiet, those people in the palace who are eager to try must also be calmed down.

Because Malu had a poor appetite after hearing the news from home in the morning, he didn't even eat and took a nap directly. Xiaofeng's small feast of evergreen had to be postponed to dinner.

Bai Xia was very anxious about this, and even went to the Qianqing Palace to find Aunt Shu Yu, asking her to come over and make some snacks to comfort her master when she was free. Because of their past friendship, Aunt Shu Yu had to reluctantly agree.

Naturally, this matter was also known to Kangxi. Kangxi still cared about children, especially those who were not born. It happened that the former dynasty was not too busy recently, so he decided to go directly to see Malu in the evening.

I guess I missed him so much that I couldn't eat.

With a secret sense of pride, Kangxi arrived at the Yonghe Palace at nightfall.

At this time, Malu was listening to Xiaofeng explaining how this dish and this tea were made. When he heard the sound of whips and the calling of names outside, he was stunned for a moment.

Xiaofeng was also startled. She immediately realized that the emperor was coming. She quickly put down the tea set in her hand and straightened her clothes. She seemed to be afraid of the emperor's majesty. She was so scared that her whole body was trembling.

Malu had just straightened her dress and was about to go out to greet the emperor when she saw Xiaofeng trembling. She smiled at her comfortingly, "Don't be so scared. The emperor is kind and benevolent. As long as you do your own thing well, there will be no problem."

Before he finished speaking, Kangxi had already walked into the inner room. Seeing Malu about to salute, he waved his hand to excuse the formality, with a gentle smile on his face: "No need to be polite, I just came to see you."

Malu responded softly, "Your Majesty is very busy, but you still came to visit me. I am very grateful."

Kangxi approached Malu, carefully observed her complexion, and asked with concern: "I heard that you have lost your appetite recently. Is it better now?"

Malu nodded gently: "With Xiaofeng's careful care, I am much better now. She also specially prepared some snacks and tea. Would the emperor like to try some?"

Before Kangxi could answer, Xiaofeng fell to the ground with a thud.

Malu turned around quickly and saw Xiaofeng was pale, so she asked Bai Xia to help her: "Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?"

Kangxi also noticed Xiaofeng's abnormality, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you? Am I that scary?"

Xiao Feng trembled and stammered, "Your Majesty, I dare not, but I am a little nervous when I suddenly see Your Majesty."

Kangxi frowned, but was still willing to give Malu some face, so he signaled Xiaofeng not to be afraid: "Get up, I won't blame you. I heard that your master has a poor appetite, but is willing to try the dishes you cook. You are thoughtful."

Xiaofeng then slowly stood up, lowered her head, and did not dare to look Kangxi in the face.

Kangxi had already noticed her unusualness, so he gave a look to Liang Jiugong beside him. Liang Jiugong immediately understood what he meant and poured a large cup of tea for Xiaofeng: "My lady, according to the emperor's dining rules, the person who is going to eat must taste the food first, please--"

As he spoke, he handed the cup of tea to Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng had completely lost his composure at this point - this was not what he had imagined!

Seeing that she was reluctant to drink, Liang Jiugong quickly asked the two eunuchs beside him to restrain her. Without paying attention to Malu's whisper of surprise, he pinched Xiaofeng's chin and prepared to force her to drink it!

At this critical moment, Kangxi suddenly spoke with unquestionable majesty: "Wait."

Xiaofeng finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

Liang Jiugong's hand froze, and then he let go of Xiaofeng and stepped aside. The two eunuchs also let go of Xiaofeng and stepped back with their heads down. Kangxi stood up, walked in front of Xiaofeng, looked down at her, and said in a calm tone with a chill: "Bitch, what's in this tea? You'd better tell me the truth."

Xiaofeng finally couldn't hold it anymore, she fell to the ground, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty... I... I deserve to die, this tea... is poisonous!"
