Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

"Yes, it's the Warm Love Powder."

Xiao Ruzi nodded heavily.

"I am very sure that the maid Xiao Ai was quite cautious and put the Warm Love Powder in a silver hairpin with auspicious clouds. Our people found out about it by knocking out the Third Princess with a magic incense at night. We are sure that it is just Warm Love Powder and has no other effect."

After listening to this, Shi Nanxi fell into deep thought, tapping the table with his knuckles out of habit.

It's just a warm-hearted dispersal. Shi Yiyao's purpose of warm-hearted dispersal is obvious. She still wants to climb into Kangxi's bed unwillingly, but who is behind it? Is he just trying to help Shi Yiyao?

It's impossible. People are so obsessed with profit that they would spend so much effort and take so many risks just to help others. She doesn't believe it at all.

And even if he really was helping Shi Yiyao, how could a man like Kangxi tolerate being schemed against? Shi Yiyao would not get away with it at all.

Shi Yiyao did not refuse. She probably guessed that although she was risking everything and gambling on luck, there must be more to it than meets the eye.

Others were puzzled as well. Everyone was thinking hard. At this moment, Hongying suddenly thought of something and slapped her palm suddenly, saying:

"I know, is the other party trying to disgust you?"

Shi Nanxi looked over.

"Disgusting me?"

Nanny Yang and the other two also looked over. Hongying perked up and rubbed her hands to explain:

"Yes, it's to disgust you. Think about it, everyone in the world knows that the emperor only favors you. If your concubine's sister really climbs into the emperor's bed and the other party spreads it, you will become a laughing stock in the world. The person behind this is too vicious!"

Shi Nanxi seemed to be deep in thought. She was favored by Kangxi alone, and she knew how many people's paths were blocked by her. This purpose was possible, but it still didn't make sense.

Isn't it too unprofitable for the other party to take so much trouble and risk to plot against her just to disgust her?

At this time, Nanny Yang's eyes were fixed, and she suddenly said:

"My lady, maybe what Hongying said is true."

"What do you mean?" Shi Nanxi turned her head and looked over: "Is there really someone who wants to disgust me? Who is so boring?"

"My lady, the people behind you are not boring."

Nanny Yang looked solemn.

Seriously:

"What do you think would happen if Shi San Gege really climbed into the emperor's bed?"

Shi Nanxi sat up straight unconsciously.

Without hesitation, he said:

"I will definitely be very disappointed with the emperor. Even if the emperor was plotted against, betrayal is betrayal. Even if the emperor punishes Shi Yiyao in the future, the relationship between me and the emperor will never go back to the way it was before."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze for a moment. Everyone guessed that the Queen would be angry, but no one expected her to be so decisive.

"Empress..." Hongying wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nanny Yang.

Shi Nanxi didn't explain. Even if she did, they wouldn't understand. And even if she did, they wouldn't comprehend.

Because if her relationship with Kangxi was just that of emperor and concubine, then Kangxi could favor whomever he wanted, and she had no right to interfere, nor did she need to interfere. But the situation was different now. Kangxi had made a promise to her, and she had accepted it, so she could not betray him.

The air was silent for a while, and then Nanny Yang broke the silence.

"So, your majesty, this is the plan of the person behind the scenes. He knows your personality very well. He doesn't need to do anything else. This alone can cause a rift between you and the emperor. Once a rift between you and the emperor occurs..."

Without waiting for Nanny Yang to continue, Shi Nanxi continued calmly:

"Then there is no need for anyone to intervene. I will make myself fall out of favor."

"I see. The person behind this is really cunning and shrewd."

Hongying was both scared and angry.

Nanny Yang and Xiao Ruzi were also filled with righteous indignation. This plot was so disgusting.

At this time, Shi Nanxi's eyes were fixed again, and suddenly he said:

"The person behind this is thinking more than just this."

Hongying and the other two looked over in confusion, and saw the Queen put her hand on her abdomen, and their eyes widened.

"My lady..."

Shi Nanxi looked cold:

"If the other party knew that I was planning to get pregnant, or even speculated that I already had a child, and then tampered with the food for tomorrow's birthday banquet, when I received the news, would I be too excited to have a miscarriage? Even if they investigated at that time, they would only find that I had a miscarriage because I was too frightened."

The air became stagnant again, and everyone was sweating profusely. This was a chain of schemes, too vicious, really too vicious.

"Who is it? Who is the person behind this?" Hongying was the first to react, and then she asked suspiciously, "No, not many people know that you are planning to get pregnant, how did the other party know about it?"

Shi Nanxi's eyes were cold:

"I don't know who it was, but it was either leaked in Tangquan Palace, or the Imperial Hospital let the cat out of the bag, or there is a traitor in our palace, and he must be among these people. But since there are traces left, I will definitely find him this time."

There was a stern look in her eyes.

"We will obey your majesty." Hongying was the first to speak, and Nanny Yang and Xiao Ruzi also expressed their loyalty and said that they would start investigating privately.

The atmosphere eased a little, and at this time, Xiao Ruzi spoke hesitantly:

"My queen, if we really guessed it right, this plan is too cruel. Should we just capture Shi Sangege to prevent future troubles?"

Upon hearing this, Matron Yang agreed with Xiao Ruzi's words. She was conservative by nature and felt that no matter what the plan was, the hidden dangers should be resolved in advance. Without Princess Shi San, she would see what the people behind the scenes would plan.

Shi Nanxi pondered for a while, then slowly shook her head and said calmly:

"No, if there really is such a person behind this, even if Shi Yiyao is gone this time, there will be another Shi Yiyao in the future. There is no shortage of women in the palace. Only by finding out who is behind this and getting rid of him can we truly eliminate future troubles."

After these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent. As Her Majesty had said, she would not be able to sleep peacefully until she found out who was behind this.

After a while, Hongying broke the silence:

"Your Majesty is right. A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. However..."

She changed the subject:

"Who is the person behind this? Could it be one of the empresses in the harem? After all, the empress has always favored her alone. Those people may appear to be honest on the surface, but they are actually unwilling in their hearts. Or could it be one of the empresses who have grievances with the empress?"

At the end, she felt more and more like the Empress of the Harem, and said affirmatively:

"There are very few people who are capable of knowing that you are planning to get pregnant, and the Empress in the Palace is the most likely person to know."

Xiao Ruzi heard this but disagreed:

"I don't think she looks like a queen from the harem."

Shi Nanxi and the other two looked over.

Xiao Ruzi scratched his head and explained:

"I am a eunuch who often goes in and out of Chuxiu Palace, so I am most exposed to the news. At the beginning, the palace favored the emperor and the empress, and I often heard people talking about it. Later, as time went by, I rarely heard it anymore. Everyone seemed to accept it. I think the empresses in the harem are the same."

And said:

"Also, just like Hongying said, those who can accomplish this must have great influence in the harem. But when we count them, there are only a few powerful people in our palace. They are all old and have princes. They have no intention of competing for favor now, so I don't think they are like the queens in the harem."

This made sense, but Hongying still didn't believe it and gave another example:

"Could it be Concubine Niu Hulu?"

This lady loved the emperor so much that she even harmed her own sister, Empress Xiaozhao, for this. Now that the emperor has fallen in love with the empress, she may not be willing to accept this.

"What you said is possible."

Xiao Ruzi hesitated and said:

"But I heard that in order to prevent Concubine Niuhulu from causing trouble in the palace, the Niuhulu family even disabled most of the family's nails. Does she still have the manpower to plot against the queen?"

Shi Nanxi felt that Xiao Ruzi's guess was correct. She also felt that their methods were not like those of the people in the harem, but who else could it be if it wasn't someone from the harem?

She murmured to herself, and Xiao Ruzi heard it and immediately said:

"My lady, why don't I go investigate first?"

Just as he was about to leave, Shi Nanxi came to her senses and immediately called him:

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Ruzi retracted his steps and looked over. Nanny Yang and Hongying looked at the Empress.

Shi Nanxi pondered. Based on the process of elimination, she already had several guesses since someone who was not from the harem knew that she was about to get pregnant and had great influence in the harem.

But further confirmation was needed, so she sharpened her eyes and decided:

"Don't alert the enemy yet. Since the other party wants to plot against me through Shi Yiyao, why don't we take advantage of their trick and lure them into our trap? I want to know who is behind this."

"You three come here..."

Hongying and the other two came over.

……

At the same time, in a luxurious study room in a house with four courtyards somewhere outside the palace, a servant pushed the door and walked in.

"How's the matter going?" Inside the house, a majestic old man spoke with his back to the door.

The visitor whispered:

"My Lord, everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for the birthday banquet tomorrow."

"Okay, then I will wait and see the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country suffer from miscarriage tomorrow, so that I can avenge my son."

The majestic old man never turned around, with his back to the light and a sinister look on his face.

The visitor closed the door and retreated.
