Chapter 435 Niu surfaced and went crazy
Facing the emperor's question, Xi Hui curled her fingers, and her mind emerged with what the mysterious man had said to her after entering the palace.
Only then did she realize that the people who had abducted her to the capital and those who had sent her to the palace were not the same group of people. It was the first time that she felt so clearly the conspiracy and intrigue of imperial power. She was shocked and frightened.
She just wanted to get out of this vortex as soon as possible and return to her family, so she agreed to the mysterious man. She also knew that the mysterious man was using her to deal with the previous two groups of people.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt more at ease, because she didn't believe that anyone would come to help her for no reason, which would make her even more worried.
At the same time, it would be even better if the two groups of people who abducted and sent her into the palace could get retribution. His thoughts turned in a flash.
Xi Hui kowtowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I am not sure either. I was kidnapped and stuffed into a carriage with my eyes blindfolded. The blindfold was not taken off until we arrived at the house, but the kidnapper had disappeared by then. I was sent to the street and only then did I overhear people talking on the street and realized that I had come to the capital. Then I went to Yandaixie Street as they said. A young man carrying a birdcage was frightened when he saw me, but then he reacted and hurried away..."
"Wait." At this time, Concubine Xi suddenly spoke, catching the suspicious point in Xi Hui's words.
"You said that the young man carrying the bird cage was frightened when he saw you. This means that he didn't know you at all, so he was frightened. It shows that someone deliberately plotted against him."
The young man carrying the birdcage was the youngest son of Empress Xiaocheng's brother.
At this time, Concubine Hui retorted:
"What Concubine Xi said is too arbitrary. Xi Hui was abducted. The young man carrying the birdcage must have met her for the first time. His reaction was probably just that he was surprised that Xi Hui, whom he abducted, looked so much like his sister."
"Then why did they go out on the street to let people see them and bring them back? If the young man with the birdcage was really abducted, they should have been seen right after they entered the yard. Why did they run out on the street? It's obvious that someone is plotting behind the scenes."
Concubine Xi was not willing to be outdone. She suspected that this was a plot planned by Concubine Hui and her son.
Just as Concubine Hui was about to turn back, Kangxi suddenly gave her a cold look.
Concubine Hui was startled and immediately shut up.
At this time Xi Hui continued:
"Then I was brought into the high gate, but when I saw the maid, I could tell that she was wearing unusual clothes, and she was not the same maid as the one who had entered the courtyard before, so I was not sure if they were the same group of people."
The atmosphere quieted down, and the question returned to the beginning. However, at this moment, Xi Hui seemed to have thought of something, and said with a little excitement:
"I remembered something."
Hearing this, everyone was excited. Kangxi stroked the jade ring and looked at Xi Hui. Xi Hui recalled and said:
"I remember when I was first sent into the courtyard, the first maid who saw my appearance was holding a handkerchief in her hand that exuded a very special and strong fragrance, like musk but not musk. When she raised my chin, a gust of wind blew by, and the handkerchief in her hand was blown to the door.
There was a big guard dog at the door. When it saw the handkerchief falling beside it, it stood up from the ground and started barking at the handkerchief. Although the handkerchief was finally taken back by the people brought by the maid, after they left, the dog became particularly energetic for some reason. I heard the doorman say that it was having an attack. "
After all, she was an unmarried girl, so she couldn’t even utter the word “estrus”, but most people at the scene understood her.
"Anyway, I think that fragrance is very special, and that maid must be from the palace. I only realized this after I entered the palace, because the maid's etiquette and rules are very similar to those of the maids in the palace."
After saying that, Xi Hui quickly added:
"The last point is just my own private guess. I have never met him in the palace."
However, regardless of whether it was just speculation or not, as long as that nanny was really from the palace, if all the nannies who had entered and left the palace in the past month were brought to Xi Hui one by one for identification, the person behind the scenes would be known.
Concubine Xi was surprised, and then immediately said decisively:
"Your Majesty, today should have been a day for the emperor and his subjects to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but something like this happened. I think we should find out the truth and prove my innocence. Do you think we should summon all the maids who have been in and out of the palace in the past month to identify me on the spot?"
Everyone looked at the emperor, waiting for him to speak. The people on the prince's side were surprised and nervous, while the people on the eldest prince's side were also nervous.
At this time, Shi Nanxi looked at the Tenth Prince unnoticeably.
The Tenth Prince was not outstanding among Kangxi's many princes, but he was a smart child alone. Especially after Concubine Nianhulu was imprisoned, he grew up quickly.
At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed, and then he quickly concealed it, but he was still seen by Shi Nanxi who was paying attention to him.
At this time, the maid behind the Tenth Prince came forward to add more tea to him, but this action suddenly startled the panicking Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince shuddered all over, and the maid was so scared that she poured the water onto the table.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she knelt down with a plop, knocking her head to the ground:
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."
In the solemn atmosphere, such a situation suddenly occurred, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
After all, the Tenth Prince was only nine years old this year. He was already nervous when faced with so many gazes. Even though he quickly concealed it and waved away the palace maids, people still noticed something.
Kangxi suddenly had a guess when he saw this. At this moment, Concubine Xi saw the Tenth Prince and suddenly thought of something. She immediately said:
"Your Majesty, I remembered something. After the disfigurement of Concubine Niu Hulu of Yongshou Palace, she has been trying to restore her appearance. In the past two years, she has been sending people to find a prescription, but the effect has not been great. Recently, I heard that someone has restored some of her appearance. The Xiji Pills used by Zhao Feiyan and her sister in the Western Han Dynasty are said to be able to restore appearance. I have seen the formula of Xiji Pills, which contains musk. The records also say that the smell is very strong and has aphrodisiac effects."
The more I spoke, the more fluent I became, and finally I became excited:
"And I am the one in charge of palace affairs. Nanny Qin, who is beside Concubine Niu Hulu, applied to leave the palace some time ago."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Tenth Prince's face turned pale, and everyone present realized that something was fishy.
Kangxi's face darkened and he said in a deep voice:
"Concubine Xuan Niu Hulu."
Someone immediately ran out of the door, but Kangxi glanced at Xi Hui on the ground inexplicably, hiding his suspicion, and the atmosphere became quiet again.
However, not long after, the palace servant who had gone out suddenly stumbled back, his face full of horror and said:
"Your Majesty, this is bad. Concubine Niu Hulu has gone crazy."
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
