The Virtuous Concubine

Malu knew that he didn't need to worry about the follow-up matters anymore.

This caught the culprit and pulled out all the nails and hidden stakes that Anpin had used last time. Dachun also became an important witness, but after the dust settled, according to Kangxi's intention, Dachun could be spared the death penalty, but could not escape the punishment of life.

How could the palace keep a person who betrayed her master, even if the master was a vicious person? Moreover, she was also good at martial arts. Kangxi valued his life very much and would not keep such a dangerous factor in the palace.

Malu pondered for a long time and asked the system: "Do you think I should keep Dachun?"

The system was puzzled: "Why are you so determined to keep Dachun?"

Ma Lu explained: "Dachun is actually a very smart and reliable person. The whole thing was planned by Dachun and us. We used Dachun to trick her, and then we used the trick before Anpin made her move. She also knows martial arts, so staying with Xiao Si'er will definitely ensure that she is safer."

What Malu didn't say was that, after this incident, Dachun's favorability towards her was already the highest in the harem, so letting her out of the palace would mean losing a great helper.

The system analyzed it for a while before saying, "What you should ask most is Dachun's opinion. Does she want to go or stay?"

Malu thought about it and felt that it was right. It would be better to respect her idea. Dachun had so many unpleasant memories here, maybe she didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.

Kangxi was very busy in the previous dynasty and would not bother Malu recently. He was furious about Concubine An's matter and launched another big purge. A lot of people who had just passed the small selection were lost because Kangxi was afraid that some force would plant spies among them. Moreover, he also replaced a large number of people in the previous dynasty and cleaned up the Li family.

From then on, the Fuxi Efu clan perished during the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

Empress Niuhulu became even busier because of this matter, so the days when the concubines in the harem needed to pay respects to the emperor became fewer and fewer. However, some people said that it was because Empress Niuhulu was in poor health, and all matters in the harem were actually supervised by Su Malagu and presided over by several concubines.

Malu called Dachun over. As soon as Dachun saw her, he knelt down and performed the great prostration.

Her movements were so swift and firm that Malu had no time to stop her, so he could only accept the salute and quickly told her to get up.

Although Malu wanted to keep Dachun, because she was really worried that her child would be tossed around by others in the future, she didn't want to repay the favor, so she asked Dachun: "What are your plans for the future? You can't just go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and wait for the next assignment, right?"

Almost all the people around Concubine An were from the Li family, so the main hall of Concubine An's palace was completely empty, leaving only Dachun and a few other marginal palace maids and eunuchs who had never been valued.

Dachun's eyes were filled with tears: "I don't know... When Eunuch Weizhu interrogated me, he told me that my family had all been killed by Concubine An a long time ago. I am homeless."

Malu was also surprised by this pie that was delivered to her door, but she really didn't expect that Concubine An was so cruel!

Kidnapping is fine, but killing someone is too much.

Malu said a few dry words of comfort, but she knew that this was not something that could be resolved with just a few words from her, so she stopped talking about it and just extended an olive branch to Dachun: "Would you consider coming to my place?"

Although Dachun guessed what Malu would say, she thought that Malu was just sympathetic, so she shook her head and said, "You saved me, which is already a great favor. If you leave me here, the emperor and the harem will only be suspicious of you and laugh at you."

What Dachun said was true, but Malu was willing to accept the consequences. She knew very well that in the harem, no matter what you do, others will dislike you, but allies are hard to come by, especially an ally like Dachun who is smart, brave and strong.

Malu was not going to take Kangxi's idea seriously. He could just let it bother him, but if he had the ability, he shouldn't come to Yonghe Palace to see the child.

The thoughts of these plastic sisters in the harem are even less important. They wish something bad would happen to Malu's child.

What's more, with a child in her belly, Malu was not worried that Kangxi would reject her request.

However, Malu did not intend to tell Dachun about this shocking plan in her mind. She would gradually find out after she joined the Yonghe Palace team.

Now, when Bai Xia and Bai Fu complained to her about Kangxi's behavior, they would no longer kneel down in fear or look around to see if anyone heard them, as they did at the beginning.

After Dachun and Malu reached an agreement, Malu went to the Qianqing Palace to ask Kangxi to keep Dachun.

When Kangxi first met her, he was a little surprised: "You rarely come to the Qianqing Palace to see me."

More than rarely, she has never been to the Qianqing Palace since Malu entered the harem.

Malu stated his purpose directly. After listening, Kangxi was silent for a moment, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing this, Malu walked to Kangxi and said softly, "Your Majesty, Dachun is alone and helpless. If she can stay with me, I will have someone to talk to. Please agree."

Kangxi looked at Malu's expectant eyes, and the hesitation in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew Malu's character. To put it nicely, she was kind, but to put it bluntly, she was weak and could be bullied.

Before, he was a little worried that Malu was deceived by Dachun's sweet words and wanted to keep Dachun out of sympathy. But he saw that she was able to clearly and logically give many reasons why Dachun was a good person and a talented person in order to keep Dachun.

Even though he felt that these reasons were far-fetched, it would be a good thing as long as she slowly learned how to employ people.

Finally, Kangxi sighed and nodded: "Okay, I will do as you say. But you have to promise to keep an eye on Dachun and not let her stir up trouble in the harem."

Seeing that Kangxi agreed, Malu was delighted and a bright smile bloomed on her face: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I promise that I will never embarrass Your Majesty."

In this way, Dachun stayed in Yonghe Palace under Malu's insistence and Kangxi's tacit consent. After staying in Yonghe Palace for a few days, Dachun's mental state improved a lot.

Dachun was indeed traumatized, but here, Malu, Bai Fu and Bai Xia were all very kind to her, and it was not the kind of cautious sympathy, but the kindness from the heart. Malu was not likely to take the initiative to do evil, at most he would counterattack or take the initiative defensively.

A few days after she arrived, Malu told her that he invited her to stay because he really needed her help in taking care of his unborn child.

This trust and honesty made Dachun burst into tears again. She quickly blended into the happy atmosphere in the side hall of Yonghe Palace.

After solving this problem, Malu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it was time to plan ahead and plan for the roommate problem after becoming a concubine.
