The Fourth Master's Dog

Kangxi looked at the Queen Nianhulu kneeling below with a puzzled look in his eyes. The court was currently making important use of Nianhulu's father and brother, so he could not but give her this honor.

Kangxi raised his hand, his voice full of doubt and warning.

"Queen, please get up. I have come here in person since we haven't found out the truth yet."

"Liang Jiugong, have someone investigate."

"Dig nine feet deep into the ground for me. I want to know the result within two hours."

Standing behind Kangxi, Liang Jiugong, who had been prepared, immediately received the order, quickly left the inner hall, and arranged for people to check the results.

As Empress Niohuru slowly stood up and sat back in her original place, the other concubines also returned to their original seats at the signal of Kangxi's eyes.

Under Kangxi's wrath, everyone in the harem dared not make a sound and sat quietly like graceful stone statues.

Concubine Yi glanced casually at Concubine De Uya, her mind full of questions.

Could it be that it was Concubine De Uya who did it?

She had been planning to do something when Concubine Tong gave birth, but today's unexpected incident disrupted her plans.

As soon as I heard the news, I gave orders not to act rashly.

You can't let others put the blame on you and punish you innocently.

The Depin Uya on the opposite side was also quietly looking at everyone in the palace, and finally her eyes slid from the Queen to Yipin.

She didn't have the chance to take action yet. Depin Uya originally wanted to wait until Concubine Tong was about eight months pregnant before taking action, so that she would die in childbirth due to dystocia.

Listening to the painful groans coming from the palace, each one weaker than the last, Concubine De Uya couldn't help but have vicious thoughts in her heart.

It's better to have two lives at once.

No one should survive.

However, seeing Kangxi sitting firmly in the first seat, Concubine De Uya suppressed all the impulses in her heart. Her face was full of worry and anxiety, like a little white flower that worries about others everywhere, looking very considerate.

I couldn't help wondering, who was the one who attacked the black cat today?

Everyone in the harem might have the idea of ​​causing Concubine Tong to have a difficult delivery, but few were capable of taking action.

As early as three months ago, Concubine De Uya had received reliable information from the young eunuch who was secretly assigned to Kangxi's place.

Concubine Tong gave birth to a girl, so she did not gamble everything she had for her.

He had originally planned to have his men do something small in August, which ultimately led to Concubine Tong's dystocia and the death of two people.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Before she could take action, others had already taken action.

The sadness and worry on Concubine De Uya's face became more obvious, and the gloating in her heart was about to overflow.

Depin Uya thought about it and ruled them out one by one.

I couldn't figure out the reason, and it felt like everyone in the harem was a suspect.

The most important one among them, Concubine De Uya, looked across and saw Concubine Yi nonchalantly twisting the handkerchief in her hand, looking calm and composed.

Although she felt that Concubine Yi was the most suspicious, after all, Concubine Yi also hated Tong Jia, and she was now deeply favored by the emperor. If she really wanted to deal with Tong Jia, she would definitely have many opportunities.

However, judging from Yipin's character and style, such a sinister method does not seem to be something she could do. Although Yipin is a bit willful, she is straightforward and disdains to use such despicable means to harm others.

Depin Uya, who didn't understand the situation, was not unhappy at all. As long as Tong Jia could suffer, she was happy.

Kangxi, who was sitting at the top, narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the concubines in the harem who were pretending to be pretentious below with a scrutinizing look.

His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.

However, these concubines seemed to feel nothing and continued to perform in a pretentious manner, which made Kangxi's inner irritation even more difficult to suppress.

I was originally planning to tell them to go back and stay in their own palaces.

At this moment, a very faint crying sound was heard from the inner hall. If it weren't for Kangxi's expressionless face, no one in Chengqian Palace dared to make a sound, and the tiny cat-like cry would have been inaudible.

When Kangxi heard the weak crying, the expression on his face became even uglier. He had lost many children in his early years, and when he heard the sound, he knew that they would not be able to be raised.

A feeling of sadness and helplessness welled up in his heart, as if he was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the waves in his heart, but the sadness surged into his heart like a tide, making his eyes slightly red.

Even though he had lost many children early in life, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and powerless.

He looked at the concubines in the harem with an expressionless face and his voice was flat.

"Go back and stay in your own palaces. Don't come to Chengqian Palace unless necessary."

When the concubines slowly stepped out of Chengqian Palace, they heard the midwife inside say that a little princess was born, but she was a little weak.

The concubines who had turned around could no longer hide the gloating on their faces. Some of them could not help but smile and covered their faces with handkerchiefs for fear of being seen by others.

Those concubines who had already given birth, when they heard the faint cat-like sound, knew that such a child would not be easy to raise, especially in the palace, when the child was only 7 months old.

It is simply a pipe dream to want to support her. Even with the protection of Kangxi, there are times when he cannot protect her.

Anyway, all the concubines were in a good mood when they left. The child they gave birth to was in poor health, and she was a princess. She had health problems during delivery, so they didn't have to think about getting pregnant again in the future.

Concubine Tong was already in poor health, and this delivery made things even worse.

She suffered severe bleeding during childbirth and nearly lost her life. She managed to survive, but her health was also seriously injured. She is afraid that she will never be able to give birth to a healthy child again in this lifetime.
