Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

"Do you remember when Brother Hongxi took you to see the big fish?"

"I remember! There were so many big red carps. Hongchang remembers them all."

Speaking of the big carp, Hongchang nodded excitedly.

"Then do you remember why you wanted to go and see the fish?"

Hongchang thought hard.

"Um……"

After a long time, Hongchang still couldn't explain it.

Concubine Yi said at the side: "I said this, this is all nonsense."

"Let's send Hongchang back to have a good rest."

“It’s carp cake!”

Hongchang said loudly.

"Brother Hongxi gave me carp cake."

Emperor Kangxi's expression changed, and Concubine Yi's expression also changed.

Everyone remembers that only Concubine Yi’s palace could make pastries of this shape.

Emperor Kangxi pursed his lips.

"Your Majesty, how old was Hongxi at that time, and how old was Hongchang? Do you really want to blame me for what these two children said?"

Rouze suddenly said, "No, Concubine Yi, we still have witnesses."

"Madame Zhao, who took care of Hongchang, and the little palace maid who accused Hongxi of pushing Hongchang are both still alive."

"Didn't they die a long time ago?" Concubine Yi blurted out.

Rouze said, "Empress Yi, since you keep saying that this matter has nothing to do with you, why do you care about the lives of the maids and the palace maids? And you remember it so clearly."

Concubine Yi finally came to her senses and realized that this was a trap for her, but she had already said it out loud, so what should she do?

"Because I am concerned about the two children, I want to pay more attention to them."

After just a few rounds, Concubine Yi's side was full of loopholes.

Even if Emperor Kangxi wanted to protect her, he knew he couldn't.

Moreover, Emperor Kangxi had already realized that it was Concubine Yi who did this, and he was no longer willing to protect her.

Concubine Yi was in a panic and did not notice the expression of Emperor Kangxi.

"They are dead, so how can they testify for you? They are what you say they are."

"Today you insist on accusing me of instigating Hongxi to harm Hongchang. I have nothing to say."

It’s a good move to retreat in order to advance, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

"In fact, the little palace maid is not dead." Yinzhen continued.

"When I was investigating this matter a few days ago, my son learned that the young maid was afraid that Concubine Yi would take revenge on her, so she told a maid from her hometown. As a result, the maid from her hometown happened to be sick, so she reported her name. She is still alive under the name of her hometown maid."

In fact, when Yixiu and Defei guessed that it was Concubine Yi who did it, they immediately went to protect Madam Zhao and the young palace maid. However, they were still a step too slow and failed to save Madam Zhao's life.

But the fact that this little palace maid was alive was already a pleasant surprise.

Concubine Yi looked pale.

She didn't expect that the little palace maid actually survived.

This little palace maid is directly connected with the palace maid beside her.

It would be better to let Nanny Zhao live. At least Nanny Zhao can only say that she did it based on speculation.

Isn't this a confirmed fact?

It's over, it's all over.

This was the only thought in Concubine Yi's mind at this moment.

She looked dejected.

Although Emperor Kangxi had guessed that what Yinzhen and others said was true, he would not jump to conclusion easily.

The person who had seen the little palace maid was Shu Fei, so he also called Shu Fei over.

Shu Fei recognized the little palace maid.

"Your Majesty, it was this person who said that Hongxi pushed Hongchang."

Emperor Kangxi turned to Concubine Yi and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Concubine Yi collapsed on the ground.

"Concubine, concubine..."

Emperor Kangxi was about to announce the punishment for Concubine Yi when the little palace maid suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to say."

Emperor Kangxi thought that the young palace maid wanted a reward, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

What does she think she is?

He hasn't yet investigated the matter of her following orders to frame Hongxi.

This created such a huge gap between him and his most beloved grandson.

"What else do you want to say?"

The little palace maid bowed her head heavily and said, "I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me."

"My elder sister used to work for Concubine Rong. When Concubine Rong died of illness, her whereabouts became unknown."

"Later, I inquired from many sources and learned that it was Concubine Yi who ordered her execution!"

"I agreed to frame Concubine Yi because I wanted to find the reason and seek justice for my sister!"

Emperor Kangxi looked at Yinzhen and Concubine De.

But they also looked confused, as if they had no idea that the little palace maid had any tricks up her sleeve.

Emperor Kangxi asked her, "Have you found the reason?"

"I found it!" said the little palace maid. "When Concubine Rong was ill, she was taking medicine and was getting better. But Concubine Yi poisoned Concubine Rong's medicine, causing her to become seriously ill and die."

"It was Concubine Yi who asked my sister to do it."

"After the deed was accomplished, Concubine Yi killed my sister."

Concubine Yi looked stunned.

This happened so many years ago that she almost forgot about it.

It is true that she was responsible for the death of Concubine Rong.

Who would bring up old issues more than ten years later?

Emperor Kangxi did not expect that today's bad news would come one after another.

But she couldn't let a little palace maid lead him by the nose.

"Where's the evidence?"

"I found a clay pot that Concubine Rong used to boil medicine. There are still some medicine residues in it."

"In my servant's room."

Emperor Kangxi sent someone to get it, and also called an imperial physician over.

The clay pot was made of purple clay and was extremely valuable. It was indeed something that only concubines above the rank of imperial concubine could use.

The imperial physician brought Rongpin's pulse record from that year.

Check the medicinal residue one by one.

"Your Majesty, most of the herbs in the dregs were originally prescribed to Concubine Rong, except for one... Once this herb is added, this medicine for nourishing the body will become a poison that kills people."

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the truth became clear.

It turned out that Concubine Rong was killed by Concubine Yi.

He never expected that the concubine he loved so much would be such a vicious woman.

Emperor Kangxi stared at Concubine Yi, with disappointment growing in his eyes.

At this moment he remembered another thing.

At first, Yinzhi had been conferred the title of Prince, but because he refused to cry at Rongfei's funeral, he was demoted to Beile.

What Yinzhi said at the time was that the cause of his mother's death was unknown.

His mother had always been in good health and just had a minor illness. The imperial physician had clearly said that she would soon recover, but she suddenly died. It was really strange.

Now that I think about it, he had wronged Yinzhi.

Emperor Kangxi was silent for a while.

Yixiu looked at him and suddenly realized that Emperor Kangxi was already extremely old.

Although he could still hold power for more than ten years, these disputes had already made the leader of the Qing Dynasty show his aging signs prematurely.

Yixiu thought about her past life, but her memory of it was already vague, and she couldn't remember what Emperor Kangxi looked like at that time.

Concubine Yi looked at Concubine De and Yinzhen with hatred.

Note: Rongpin was conferred the title of imperial concubine after her death, so “Rongpin” is used when referring to her at that time.
