Rong Fei is not honored

"Several concubines had blood oozing from their bodies after falling down."

Seeing blood? Everyone was shocked. Could it be a miscarriage? But how could it be? The imperial physician did not report that any concubine was pregnant.

Kangxi suppressed his anger and said, "What happened? Why did they fall down? And several concubines fell down at the same time."

"The palace maids reported that the concubines heard that something big happened in Ningshou Palace, so they came to visit. But on the way, someone had a conflict with the concubines, and during the shoving, one of them fell down, and they all fell down one by one."

"All of them fell? That's really good!" Kangxi was so angry that he almost laughed. These were concubines in the palace, but they turned out to be like a bunch of shrews. Even if no one was hurt, it would be embarrassing if the news got out.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go and take a look first." The Empress Dowager advised. If there really was a problem with the royal heir, then this time they would really catch them all in one fell swoop.

Originally, the Queen should have said this, after all, bypassing the person in charge of the harem to take charge would be a slap in the Queen's face. So Kangxi and the Grand Empress Dowager did not speak up before, and let the Queen hold Ma Jia accountable.

But in the current situation, the Queen might not be free of suspicion, so she still cannot intervene.

"If someone is really pregnant, then today's accident is not a coincidence, but someone deliberately did it to murder the heir. This matter is of great importance. I will personally investigate it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Of course I trust the Imperial Grandmother, but I have to trouble you again."

The Queen naturally knew that the Grand Empress Dowager had suspected her, but she did not react at all. Instead, she accepted the Grand Empress Dowager's arrangement calmly.

The Empress Dowager saw this and thought to herself, could it be that she had wrongly blamed the Queen? This was not her doing. But apart from the Queen, who else in the harem could have the ability to capture all the pregnant concubines in the palace at once?

The reason why the Queen was so calm was because she had no hand in the accident. Even if the Queen Mother found out something, it had nothing to do with her.

When Kangxi and the Empress Dowager arrived, the imperial physician had already taken the patient's pulse.

All the imperial doctors on duty today are about to cry. First, concubine Borjigit was poisoned, and then this happened. None of the pregnant concubines could be saved. My life is over.

Kangxi felt bad when he saw the expressions of the imperial doctors, but he still held out a glimmer of hope, "How is it?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, I am incompetent and several concubines have had miscarriages."

Kangxi was furious. This was a child that was not saved. "I remember that after Concubine Nara, I said that if a concubine is pregnant, it must not be concealed and must be reported. What are you doing in the Imperial Hospital?"

The Imperial Hospital was explaining with a bitter face, "These concubines have refused the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis for various reasons in the past two or three months, so the Imperial Hospital has never had the opportunity to know that the concubines are pregnant."

"That's also the fault of your Imperial Hospital."

"I deserve to die. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."

"You beg me to spare your life, then who will spare the life of the heir to the throne?"

There was an uncontrollable murderous intent in Kangxi's voice. All the servants around him were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed. Even the Queen and Ji Nai did not dare to stand. The concubines had already collapsed on the ground and trembled before Kangxi arrived.

This, this really has nothing to do with them. Who knew those people were pregnant? If they had known earlier, they would have stayed away from them and would not have dared to get close to them. This is a serious crime of murdering the royal heir.

The Empress Dowager also suppressed her anger and asked, "Is there really no other way?"

"When we first arrived, the child was gone."

The Grand Empress Dowager closed her eyes and said, "In that case, let's all go back first. Stay in your own palace for the next few days and don't come out unless necessary. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If someone really plotted against me, I will not forgive them. Your Majesty, please don't worry for now and take care of yourself."

"Yes, I will listen to my grandmother."

This is the second big thing.

As soon as Ji Nai returned to Zhongcui Palace, a young eunuch from the Qianqing Palace brought him medicine for his wounds and instructions from Kangxi.

"Your Majesty said, please take good care of yourself and don't dwell on what happened today. It will hurt your body. Your Majesty remembers all your grievances. Please also remember to take good medicine and take good care of your knees. Don't leave any root of disease."

Ji Nai smiled and said, "You can make His Majesty feel at ease."

Ji Nai asked Yu Qing to fetch a stack of papers and handed them to the young eunuch. "This is what His Majesty ordered a few days ago. I think His Majesty may not have time to come to Zhongcui Palace these days, so I just asked you to deliver it."

Kangxi felt relieved only after receiving the stack of large characters practiced by Ji Nai. Since Ji Nai was still thinking about the homework he had assigned at this time, he thought that everything would be fine.

On this day, the Empress Dowager invited Kangxi over, and she looked unhappy.

Kangxi was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that even the Empress Dowager couldn't find out who was behind the murder?

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that this matter really has to be left unresolved."

"Why? Grandmother, could it be the Queen again?" Kangxi thought that the only person in the harem who could do such a thing and yet could not be punished was the Queen.

The Empress Dowager shook her head. "She is the Queen, and she is not the Queen either."

Kangxi didn't understand what this meant.

The Grand Empress Dowager explained, "These concubines knew they were pregnant, so they did everything they could to avoid the imperial physician's pulse check. But the Queen's people eventually found out about this. After the Queen found out, she didn't report it, nor did she take action herself. Instead, she quietly told the other concubines about it. Most of them didn't get along well with the pregnant concubines."

The Empress Dowager paused and said, "In fact, after these concubines knew about it, they would not dare to do anything even if they wanted to."

"But the timing on that day was really too good. Something happened to Qiqige, and even the emperor and I were alarmed, so the concubines naturally had to come to visit. And as it turned out, it happened to happen under the calculation of someone with ulterior motives. When there are more people, there will be more conflicts, and it will be easier for things to go wrong. Chaos is the best time to act, so those who acted at the beginning were all intentional."

"But even if that's the case, so what? Who knows who started it first? In this situation, it's impossible to find evidence." The Empress Dowager muttered.

When she saw Kangxi's face turn pale, she knew that the emperor was unwilling to let him go easily. After all, this was the emperor's child, and the royal family's offspring were precious. The emperor only had one prince, Chengrui, and not even a princess. It was really too few.

"If the emperor insists on punishing, who should he punish? The queen?"

"Shouldn't she be punished?"

"But it was the concubines who concealed the pregnancy. The queen could only be considered as someone who knew about it but did not report it. Moreover, the news was secretly learned and spread. The queen could easily blame the servants under her. And when the farce happened that day, the queen was not present at all. So who among the concubines who were present was the emperor going to punish? The main culprit or the accomplice? Can you tell them apart? Who was used and who was implicated? It's all a mess."
