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

Changchun Garden, Shi Nanxi started in the morning and gave birth in the afternoon. It was already late at night, and maybe she was too tired, so she didn't wake up once in between.

Candles had already been lit in the room, and at this moment they made crackling sounds.

Kangxi, who had been sitting beside the bed, was awakened. He looked at the sleeping face of the little girl, reached out to tuck the quilt for her, and then got up quietly.

When passing by the screen, Hongying, who was dozing on the couch, was awakened. Seeing that it was the emperor, she quickly stood up, bowed, and whispered:

"emperor."

Kangxi stopped.

"How is the Fifteenth Prince? You are here, who is over there?"

Hongying whispered:

"Your Majesty, the little prince woke up twice and fell asleep again after feeding. There are two wet nurses taking care of him, but Nanny Yang is worried, so she's gone tonight. I'll stay here to watch over the queen, and Zixia will come over to take over in the second half of the night."

Kangxi nodded, and then instructed Hongying:

"Take good care of your mother. I will be back soon."

Hongying responded quickly, and Kangxi opened the door and went out. Outside the door, Liang Jiugong was wearing a thick coat, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, his head leaning against the door frame. Suddenly, a creaking sound was heard.

He immediately came to his senses, and seeing that it was the emperor who came out, he quickly stood up, stamped his feet, exhaled a breath of white air and said:

"emperor."

Kangxi closed the door silently, walked to the edge of the corridor and stopped.

Liang Jiugong thought that the emperor would then talk about the attempt to murder Imperial Concubine Xian in the delivery room today, but he didn't hear the emperor speak for a long time.

He thought about it but didn't bring it up. After a while, Kangxi finally spoke, but his first sentence confused Liang Jiugong.

"It's cold in winter, so the Fifteenth Prince's third-day bathing ceremony can be held in Changchun Garden. No need to hire anyone."

Liang Jiugong's first reaction after hearing this was that the emperor didn't like the fifteenth prince. But that wasn't right. Look at the emperor's attitude during the day, it's obvious that he likes him very much!

Before Liang Jiugong could make any more wild guesses, he heard the emperor's second sentence.

"You personally instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go all out to prepare for the fifteenth prince's full moon banquet. I will grant amnesty to the entire nation."

After hearing the first sentence, Liang Jiugong felt that he had overthought, but the second sentence was so shocking that his jaw almost dropped.

What? The Emperor is going to grant amnesty to the entire nation on the day of the fifteenth prince’s full moon banquet!!!

There was no amnesty when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born. There was only one amnesty when he was crowned as the Crown Prince at one year old. What does the Emperor mean by this?

If this news gets out, the whole capital will be in an uproar!

However, as if the impact was not enough, Kangxi's next sentence directly blew up Liang Jiugong.

"Instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the Empress' court dress according to the size of the Imperial Noble Consort, as well as the golden edict, golden inscriptions, and golden seals, as well as the matters concerning the Empress's coronation."

When Kangxi finally finished speaking, Liang Jiugong's legs had become as soft as noodles and he could hardly stand. What on earth was the emperor trying to do? If this series of events continued, the court would be in chaos. Where would the prince stand then?

He really wanted to ask the emperor, are you possessed by the late emperor?

However, he didn't dare to do so. He could only use all his strength to maintain his expression and replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then there was another silence. Kangxi then remembered that someone in the delivery room had attempted to murder Nanxi today. His eyes darkened and he suddenly said:

"You said before that the clues were cut off when Xia Hong bit her tongue and committed suicide?"

Liang Jiugong quickly calmed down after hearing this.

He bowed and replied:

"It's your Majesty. I'm incompetent. After investigating Xia Hong, I found that she has been on duty in the Dan Ning Residence in Changchun Garden since she entered the palace. It has been five years now. She is a little clever on weekdays, but she is very sensible and gets along well with everyone. More than three years ago, the Imperial Concubine moved to Dan Ning Residence. She was just responsible for running errands, but because she has always been well-behaved and sincere and hardworking, she was transferred to serve in the house last year."

"This year, the queen was pregnant and there were not enough people to help her. After careful selection, she was chosen to be admitted to the delivery room. During this period, there was nothing unusual. It was not until she was giving birth that Miss Hongying discovered the clue because of the ginseng slices that the news broke out."

"I had her residence searched, but nothing was found. The maids who lived with her and the people she interacted with were also carefully investigated and no problems were found. She also did not have any private emotional interactions with anyone."

"Where are her family members?" Kangxi asked. Usually, when doing things for others, there must be interests involved, and most clues can be found from the family.

Liang Jiugong shook his head:

"This Xia Hong's family, her grandfather died early, her grandmother thought that she was a daughter, and her mother was unknown. Her father didn't like her either. After he married a stepmother and had a son, he let her stepmother beat and scold her. In our Qing Dynasty, young bannermen were sent to the palace when they were thirteen years old, but Xia Hong was sent to the palace when she was eleven. After that, her family had no other contact except ordering Xia Hong to give them the monthly salary. We searched Xia's house and found nothing. We also investigated Xia's family and found nothing wrong."

Only then can we say that the clue is broken.

Kangxi pursed his lips.

Then he asked in a deep voice:

"What about the ginseng slices?" I didn't have time to ask at that time.

When Liang Jiugong heard this,

His head was lowered.

"The ginseng slice was examined by the imperial physician and was soaked in saffron juice. However, because it was processed very well, the smell was almost invisible. People who don't know much about it couldn't tell the difference. Fortunately, Miss Hongying was careful enough to discover the clue. Saffron is very effective in promoting blood circulation. If the queen accidentally took it, it would likely cause hemorrhage."

As soon as these words came out, Liang Jiugong felt the murderous intent coming from him. His scalp suddenly went numb. He swallowed his saliva before continuing:

"That piece of ginseng came from a hundred-year-old ginseng in the Empress's private storehouse. Investigations revealed that the entire ginseng had been specially treated. We interrogated the palace maid who was responsible for receiving the ginseng and the palace maid who registered it in the private storehouse, but they did not find any problems with the ginseng, and there was nothing else wrong with it. They were ruled out as suspects. However, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who handled the ginseng had committed suicide by taking poison when he was discovered."

This clue was broken again, but... Hearing the hesitation in Liang Jiugong's tone, Kangxi said coldly:

"Go on, anything else?"

Liang Jiugong licked his lips and continued:

"We found a large amount of gold, silver and jade from a residence outside the palace owned by the eunuch who committed suicide by taking poison. Many of them came from the palace. In addition, we also found some account books in the secret room of the house, which recorded Hesheli. However..."

He said quickly:

"I checked the account book, and found only records of the eunuchs in charge embezzling gold, silver and jade, but no records of any accounts related to ginseng."

After saying that, he held his breath.

When Kangxi heard that today's events were related to Hesheli, a flash of anger rushed to his brain. Hesheli relied on the prince to frequently reach out to his harem. What exactly did she want to do?

But after his anger, he regained his senses and felt something was wrong. On the surface, the birth of the fifteenth prince did pose the greatest threat to the crown prince.

But he didn't quite believe such an obvious motive. Hesheli was not a fool. After the Dragon Boat Festival incident, he had warned the prince in the court, which was like a warning to scare the tiger. Hesheli was worried that he would implicate the prince again, so he became much more honest since then.

Today is a major event for Nanxi's birth. If they had done anything, he would definitely investigate. How could he be so stupid as to keep the account books of her dealings with the eunuch in charge?

But whether it was true or false, false or true, the eunuch in charge was definitely related to Hesheli, and it left a mark in Kangxi's heart.

After an unknown amount of time, he spoke again:

"Since you have found a problem, investigate it immediately and take personal responsibility. This is my internal affairs department, and it's time to clean up these parasites."

Regardless of whether Hesheli was the mastermind behind this incident, his hands had stretched too far. If they were too long, they should be chopped off.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, Kangxi's eyes were deep and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. Perhaps this was the result she wanted to see, that while the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits, but she would be disappointed.

"This is what's happening on the surface. You continue to investigate secretly." He didn't believe that the other party's tail could be hidden forever.

Liang Jiugong quickly agreed.
