Consort Rong suddenly came to her senses upon hearing Mu Yue's words.
She excitedly instructed her personal maid, "Suixin, bring out the note!"
Her tone carried an undisguised excitement.
Mu Yue frowned, unable to help but worry that she might have said something wrong.
But soon, she noticed the Empress sitting calmly to the side.
The Empress Dowager remained so calm, showing not the slightest bit of guilt.
Presumably, what Consort Rong said has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager.
As Mu Yue pondered this, she relaxed a little.
Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the palace maids behind Consort Rong.
The palace maid looked nervous and guilty, and didn't take out the note that Consort Rong had mentioned for a long time.
Mu Yue sensed something was wrong and hurriedly urged, "Consort Rong asked you to take out the note, why aren't you moving?"
Sui Xin glanced at Consort Rong, a hint of guilt on her face, and then knelt down in front of Emperor Kangxi with a thud.
When she knelt down, she deliberately struck a pose, revealing a section of her fair and delicate neck.
Everyone present was intelligent, and they could naturally guess the purpose behind Sui Xin's actions.
Consort Rong was so angry that her body trembled.
I never expected that my personal maid would betray me like this.
She could even feel the mockery in the Empress's gaze.
Sui Xin naturally knew what the consequences would be for making such a move.
But as long as you can seize this opportunity, immense wealth and power will unfold before your eyes, and you will be able to become the master of the country, no longer subject to suppression.
She considered herself to be quite beautiful and younger than the concubines in the palace, so the emperor would not refuse a woman presented to him.
Even random thoughts have some merit.
In other circumstances, Emperor Kangxi might have gone with the flow and accepted the beautiful woman who came to him.
But right now, they are in the Empress's Kunning Palace.
Kangxi immediately turned cold and looked at the kneeling Suixin with displeasure, "Where is the note that Consort Rong asked you to keep?"
The Empress glanced at Consort Rong, her eyes filled with sympathy.
But he quickly looked away.
With so many masters around, for a mere palace maid like Suixin to do something like this is simply outrageous!
They must be punished.
If all palace maids acted like Sui Xin, the palace would be in chaos.
She was planning how to punish Suixin, but she didn't forget to keep an eye on Suixin's movements, trying to confirm whether Suixin had the so-called note on her, as that was related to her innocence.
Sui Xin glanced at Consort Rong secretly, then feigned fear and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this servant does not have any note on me, nor does she know what the note Consort Rong is referring to is!"
Upon hearing this, Consort Rong immediately lost control of her emotions, pointing angrily at Suixin's face and shouting, "You little slut, how dare you lie in front of the Emperor? Do you really think the Emperor will let you deceive him like this?"
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. This servant truly has no idea what the note Ning mentioned is!"
He spoke hastily and freely.
Her eyes even welled up with tears, making her look as if she had been unjustly accused.
The Empress knew that Consort Rong often acted without thinking, but she never expected her to be so impulsive.
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, and glanced helplessly at Emperor Kangxi beside her. "Your Majesty, who do you think is lying about this?"
She was more inclined to believe that what Consort Rong said was true.
They were simply outmaneuvered by Sui Xin.
But this was just her speculation; there was no concrete evidence.
Emperor Kangxi understood Consort Rong's personality and knew she wasn't that clever, so he naturally didn't believe she had so many schemes.
He frowned, glanced at Suixin kneeling on the ground, and said, "There's no need to keep a disloyal palace maid. Send her away immediately!"
Emperor Kangxi did not directly express his trust in Consort Rong, but his words were enough.
Sui Xin was surprised that Kangxi had decided on her so quickly, and her handsome face showed a hint of panic.
She crawled on her knees to Kangxi, somewhat flustered, and tried to defend herself, "Your Majesty, this servant really doesn't know what the Empress is talking about, but this servant knows that the Empress has always harbored resentment towards the Empress, and always felt that the Empress had killed several of her children. Perhaps it is because of this that the Empress imagined the existence of the note."
"If these rules really exist, who has the extraordinary ability to deliver the note to Her Majesty without alerting the palace guards?"
Mu Yue glanced at Consort Rong, then at Sui Xin, instinctively feeling that this matter was related to Sui Xin.
She suddenly spoke up, "If the note came from Consort Rong's most trusted confidant, you could naturally deliver it to Consort Rong without alerting the palace guards!"
"If you give the note when only you and Consort Rong are in the space, and then change your mind, Consort Rong will be labeled as scheming against the Empress Dowager and being dissatisfied with her."
If Mu Yue could figure this out, then Kangxi and the Empress certainly couldn't be confused.
Consort Rong finally realized that something was wrong.
She remembered that day...
Zhongcui Palace, ten days ago!
Apart from Consort Rong and Suixin, only Yinzhi was present in the entire inner palace.
Yinzhi is only three years old and has been spoiled. He will cry and fuss over the slightest thing that doesn't go his way.
He was crying loudly, which made Consort Rong panic.
As Consort Rong helped coax Yinzhi to sleep, Suixin looked at Consort Rong sitting by Yinzhi's bedside and suddenly whispered, "If Prince Chengrui and the others were still here, they could definitely help Your Majesty soothe the little prince, and Your Majesty wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!"
Consort Rong was simple-minded and didn't think much of what she heard.
She just sighed, "Those children were just unlucky; that's why they didn't survive!"
Upon hearing Consort Rong's words, Sui Xin was speechless.
Despite her foolishness, she was still favored by the emperor.
What great luck!
If it were me, I would definitely be even more favored.
Thinking back to what I had overheard a few days ago, I immediately made a decision.
She frowned, looking as if she were considering Consort Rong's feelings, and said softly, "Your Highness, do you really think that the incident involving the young princes was an accident?"
Her tone was somewhat meaningful, and coupled with her expression, Consort Rong immediately began to overthink things.
She grabbed Sui Xin's shoulder excitedly and urged, "Do you know something? Tell me quickly!"
Sui Xin didn't speak, but simply handed the note she had received to Consort Rong.
The note was still tucked into his arms, retaining some of his body warmth.
Consort Rong's attention was completely drawn to the contents of the note.
After reading the contents of the note, Consort Rong's face drained of all color, and her hand holding the note trembled slightly. "Where did this come from?"
Overwhelmed with emotion, she didn't even notice that Yinzhi on the bed had been woken up by her, and she didn't care.
