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

Shi Nanxi, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, had no change in expression. She had made all the preparations when she was preparing for pregnancy. She calmly combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror and said lightly:

“Which gifts are problematic?”

Nanny Yang read out a few names, and then said what was wrong with the etiquette, and finally said:

"I have checked those concubines. They are very low-key and transparent in the harem. They have no grudges against you. They have long fallen out of favor and have no other connections behind them. I don't know where they got the courage to murder you and the heir."

The bronze mirror revealed Shi Nanxi's expected expression.

How could any smart person in the palace tamper with the gift sent to her? As for the people mentioned by Nanny Yang, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she continued to comb her hair, saying slowly:

"Just seal the items separately and don't use them. As for those concubines of lower rank, they are just pawns used by the people behind the scenes to test them. They themselves may not know that there is something wrong with the gifts they gave."

Nanny Yang suddenly realized and said that it felt a little strange. Those concubines did not seem like those who dared to murder the empress. However, someone had already stretched out his hand as soon as the news was announced. Such things would definitely happen again in the future. She couldn't help but frown.

Shi Nanxi was also thinking about how to give birth to the baby safely. The so-called best defense is offense. Of course, she would still defend, but she could use offense to deter and eliminate in advance those who might attack.

After a few thoughts, Shi Nanxi had already come up with an idea. Seeing Nanny Yang frowning in the bronze mirror, she gently put down the comb.

"Is Madam Yang worried?" Shi Nanxi turned her head to comfort her:

"In fact, Madam, you don't have to worry too much. After three years of operation, Chuxiu Palace has become impregnable. The Emperor is also there to protect it. As long as we are careful, nothing will happen. I already have a plan to deal with it."

Nanny Yang perked up after hearing this. She knew her own queen was smart and wise, so she immediately said:

"My lady, what solutions do you have for this?"

Shi Nanxi turned her head again, picked up the comb and continued combing her hair, and slowly told Madam Yang her idea.

Madam Yang was surprised at first, but then she thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed feasible, but...

She pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"Then what kind of attack can we use to deter and eliminate those who might attack us in advance?"

Shi Nanxi smiled slightly:

"Have you forgotten the deal between me and Concubine Yi?"

After the transaction with Concubine Yi, she learned the secret that Concubine Niuhulu killed Empress Xiaozhao in order to enter the palace, and her vigilance against Concubine Niuhulu reached the highest level.

How could a man who could kill his own sister for Kangxi let go of her, the person Kangxi liked? She was also collecting evidence of the other party's murder of Empress Xiaozhao, preparing to take the initiative to get rid of her completely.

Unfortunately, that incident happened too long ago, her foundation in the palace was still too shallow, and the time was short, so there has been no progress so far. But now there is a turning point.

She was pregnant, and judging from the fact that Concubine Nianhulu had attacked her several times, she would definitely not be able to restrain herself and take action.

A fierce look flashed in Shi Nanxi's eyes. She was worried that she couldn't find evidence. As long as Concubine Nianhulu took action this time, she would take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and completely get rid of this poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

Nanny Yang was stunned and said hesitantly:

"What does the queen mean?"

Shi Nan told her his plan, and finally smiled at Nanny Yang in the bronze mirror and said softly:

"Mammy, do you think that Concubine Niu Hulu is enough to intimidate everyone? After she is dealt with, who else would dare to take action again?"

After hearing this, Madam Yang was stunned, then she was filled with admiration for the Empress and quickly said:

"Enough, enough, enough. If Concubine Niuhulu really attacks you and then tries to expose the truth about Empress Xiaozhao's death, that would be murdering the mother of a country. The Emperor will definitely sentence her to death. Even if Niuhulu knows the truth, she will not plead for her."

After a pause, he said again:

"In this way, everyone will be shocked and will think twice before taking action. We will be more cautious and prudent, and with the emperor's protection, you will be able to give birth to an heir safely."

At this moment, Xiao Ruzi came in through the curtain, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, there is a report from Yongshou Palace that Concubine Niuhulu has made unusual moves."

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi couldn't help but look at each other with Nanny Yang. As expected, Concubine Nianhulu would not be able to restrain herself and take action.

Then Shi Nanxi looked at Xiao Ruzi and said:

"What unusual behavior did Concubine Niu Hulu have?"

Xiao Ruzi looked solemn and told the empress all the news. After hearing Xiao Ruzi's words, even Shi Nanxi was surprised.

"You said that Concubine Niuhulu found a woman who looked like the Empress, and planned to let Hesheli find out, and then use Hesheli's hand to let her enter the palace through the Baoyi Xiaoxuan, and then expose the woman's face in public to everyone, so that the emperor would have no choice but to take her into the harem?"

This plan was too crazy, but it had to be said that if that woman really looked like Empress Yuan and her face was exposed to everyone, even Kangxi would not allow a woman who looked like Empress Yuan to serve as a slave in the palace.

Not to mention the prince, as for letting him get married, the same goes for her. After such an experience, who would dare to marry a woman who looks so much like the empress?

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment. At this time, Hongying came in with milk. Seeing that everyone was a little surprised, she put the milk in front of the empress and said:

"What's going on here?"

Shi Nanxi didn't say anything. Xiao Ruzi whispered to Hongying about Concubine Niu Hulu's plan. Hongying was stunned and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, we must not let Concubine Nianhulu succeed! Once that woman really enters the palace and shows her face in public, even the emperor will have to make do with her. What will we do if she really takes her into the harem?"

Nanny Yang also hesitated. The Empress' previous plan was based on the premise that Concubine Niuhulu would take action against the crown prince, but who would have thought that Concubine Niuhulu would be so crazy. This would make the risk even greater. Even the always bold Xiao Ruzi agreed with Hongying's words this time.

Shi Nanxi didn't say anything the whole time, because she understood Hongying's concerns.

Some things, once the door is opened, are hard to close again. In addition, with Concubine Nianhulu and Lady Hesheli behind her, and she is pregnant, she will take one step back, and then another.

But is there really no other solution?

The room fell silent, and no one spoke for a while. After a long while, Shi Nanxi suddenly had an idea and looked at Xiao Ruzi:

"Xiao Ruzi, has the news come in that the woman looks very similar to Empress Yuan?"

Hearing this, everyone looked over. Xiao Ruzi thought for a moment and said:

"The news I received said that they are 50% similar, and their dressing style is 70% to 80% similar."

There was a gleam of light in Shi Nanxi's eyes.

"If they are only 50% similar, then it's easy to deal with. And there is one thing we forgot, which is where the woman was found from. Is she willing to enter the palace and wade into this muddy water?"

"What does the Queen mean?" Hongying and the other two were a little confused.

Shi Nanxi laughed slowly.

"The election is in April, and the nearest public occasion is the Dragon Boat Festival in May. There will be a big banquet in the palace at that time, which is a good opportunity. We should investigate the origins of that woman before the Dragon Boat Festival. If she is innocent, we can turn her against Concubine Niu Hulu. Even if she has ambitions, we can use her in other ways to serve us."

Hongying and the other two looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and Xiao Ruzi immediately volunteered:

"My lady, leave this matter to me. I will investigate the origins of that woman as soon as possible."

"Okay, go and do it. You will be rewarded if you do it well." Shi Nanxi said.

"Yeah." Xiao Ruzi was overjoyed.
