The concubine of Germany is as beautiful as a god [Qing wear]

Hearing this, everyone's first reaction was that this palace lady was going to be unlucky.

How honorable is His Royal Highness?Only empresses are qualified to be called Han Erniang, and a mere palace maid is clearly courting death if she is called this way!

However, the result made everyone's eyes red with envy and jealousy. Not only did the emperor not punish her, he even asked her to feed the prince with snacks, which was too indulgent.

It seems that this maid named Malu is really different in the eyes of the emperor!

There were also people who secretly lamented, why don't they look like empresses?Aside from other things, just being valued so highly by His Highness the Crown Prince will not make a difference in his future.

Envy is envy, everyone in the harem didn't dare to have any wrong thoughts this time, after all, the incident between Li and Wanyan is vivid in their minds, and it has only been less than three months.

Only Ma Jiashi, the master of Zhongcui Palace, felt that the opportunity had come.

Last time, because of Ma Guan and her sisters, Xiangmei, the eldest court lady beside her, was killed with a cane, and even she was neglected by the emperor.In the past three months, the emperor has only been to her place once, and many people are laughing at her for falling out of favor.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she wanted to take care of Ma Guan and Sister Shuang.It's a pity that both of them are hiding in the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Ning Palace, so she can't do anything.

This time, she saw an opportunity.

No matter how much that Ma Guan is favored by the emperor now, he will end up miserable when the time comes.

A few days later at night, Qiu Lin, the newly promoted grand maid, sneaked out of Zhongcui Palace and headed all the way to Jiangxuexuan.As soon as she reached the place, a hand stretched out from the corner and dragged her over.

Qiulin was startled, but heard a deep voice say: "Shut up, it's me."

"Sixi, you scared me to death." Qiulin gave him a reproachful look, and said with a straight face, "I thought I had met a bad guy."

The little eunuch named Sixi said with a bitter face: "Aunt Qiulin, don't blame me. The Compassionate Ning Palace is too far away from here. I ran out secretly. If people find out, then it's okay? What's the matter with you?" Just say it quickly."

Qiulin looked around and saw no one said, "Sixi, you haven't forgotten what happened six years ago, have you?"

Sixi was startled, and immediately turned pale: "Even if Sixi dies, she will never forget. If the empress hadn't rescued her back then, Sixi would have been beaten to death long ago, and Sixi's life belongs to the empress."

"It's good that you know, now that the empress is in trouble, shouldn't it be time for you to repay the favor?" Qiu Lin stared at him with a half-smile, with a haughty look on his face.

"As long as the empress is in need, the servant will definitely repay the favor even if he risked his life." Sixi gritted his teeth. He knew that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"In that case, take this." Qiulin stuffed a small bottle.

Sixi's complexion became even uglier: "This is..."

Qiulin laughed and said, "Some croton flour won't kill anyone. If you're lucky, you won't be able to find your head at all, it depends on whether you're doing it cleanly or not."

Hearing that it was just croton powder, Sixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The portion of this thing is less, and it just makes people have diarrhea.

"I don't know what the empress wants the servant to do?"

"The next time the emperor asks the maid named Ma Guan to make desserts, you put this in the red bean muffin, how to do it, you'd better think of the most appropriate way, so as not to be discovered."

Sixi almost fainted from fright, lowered her voice and asked in disbelief: "This is to poison the emperor..."

If this is discovered, he will definitely die without a whole body, and even kill him all over the house!However, he is the only one in his family, so he doesn't have to think so much.

Qiu Lin said: "No, the emperor won't eat this kind of snack, he will let the prince eat it. You should pay attention to the portion, it is enough to make His Royal Highness diarrhea, and you must not put too much."

"I'll pay attention." Sixi was sweating coldly, and hurriedly put the medicine bottle into her arms, with a worried expression on her face.

Even if it is just to make His Royal Highness suffer from diarrhea, the risk is too great. For a while, he didn't quite understand the empress's intentions.What good would it do her?

The next day, he finally figured out the reason, the empress wanted to put that maid named Ma Guan to death!

At that time, there was a lot of rumors about Zhongcui Palace, so he naturally listened to it, but he didn't expect that the empress hated Ma Guan to such an extent.

He has been in contact with Ma Guan, she is a very good girl, and the Empress Dowager also values ​​her very much.

But under the coercion of saving his life, he had no choice.

Three days later in the afternoon, there was news from the Qianqing Palace, asking Ma Guan to make a plate of red bean sponge cake and a plate of beef tongue crisps and send them over in the evening.

Because it was still early, Ma Guan soaked the red beans in water, which made the red bean muffin taste better, but this gave Sixi a chance.

In the next year, Ma Guan came to the small kitchen to start cooking. She has done it many times, so she is familiar with everything.

Take out the soaked red beans, then pour them into clean water and steam them.What is used to make red bean sponge cake is actually boiled red bean water, not red beans themselves.

Every time she boiled red bean water, she would dry a bowl and drink it by herself, which was considered a reward for herself.However, when I tasted it this time, I felt that the taste was very strange.

"It's a bit astringent, a bit pungent. Is it because my way of cooking red beans is wrong?" Ma Guan frowned. Her sense of taste is very sensitive, so she can taste even subtle differences.

She has always had high requirements for food, but this time the taste is not right, and the red bean muffin she made must not taste good.

After thinking about it, she took another batch of red beans and steamed them directly without soaking them in water.After a quarter of an hour, I drink red bean water again, and the taste is the same as before.

Ma Guan suddenly thought of something, dipped some water soaked in red beans to taste, and sure enough, he also tasted astringent and pungent.

The water has been moved!

Ma Guan only felt her scalp tingling, and her feet felt cold. Could it be that someone wanted to use her snacks to murder the emperor and the prince?

If it wasn't for her benefiting herself, she might have followed other people's lead and sent the poisonous snacks over.At that time, if the emperor blames her, she will definitely be the first to be unlucky!

Thinking of this, she was both angry and rejoiced. Perhaps she had done a lot of good things on weekdays, so she escaped this time.

Her first reaction was to tell the Empress Dowager, but she quickly regained her composure. If she reported it at this time, she would definitely startle the snake.

The other party was able to enter the small kitchen to do this kind of thing, he must be very familiar with the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and knew that the emperor wanted to use dim sum today.Right now, she might be watching the small kitchen. If she leaves, the other party will probably go in and destroy the evidence.

She calmed down quickly, collected the water in which the red beans were soaked and the first batch of red beans, and then continued to make snacks as if nothing had happened.

It was already past time after finishing, Ma Guan hurriedly left the Compassionate Ning Palace with some snacks.

On the way, I met Sister Shuang who was cleaning the yard. The two exchanged some pleasantries, and she took the opportunity to slip a note over.

Before she arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Aunt Su Ma led her sisters to the small kitchen and took away the red beans and water that Ma Guan had hidden.

When they arrived at Xinuang Pavilion, Kangxi was already waiting there with Baocheng in his arms. Both father and son looked at Ma Guan, as if they were waiting to be fed.

"Aunt Ma Guan, I'm hungry..." Baocheng stared at the food box aggrievedly, his stomach growling.

Kangxi also said: "Why are you late today?"

He remembered that Ma Guan was still very punctual, and had delivered snacks so many times, and he was never late once.

"Back to the emperor, my maidservant had an accident making dim sum today, so I came a bit late, please forgive me." Ma Guan held the dim sum and was blessed.

"What accident?" Kangxi asked casually, asking her to put down the snack.

"The maidservant is not sure what's going on." Ma Guan showed doubts, and said vaguely: "We can only draw a conclusion after the verification by Lagu Su Ma."

Although she guessed that someone was trying to poison her, she took a sip of the red bean water and dipped some water in which the red beans had been soaked to taste. So far, there is no sign of poisoning.

This made her uncertain about her guesses.

"What's so mysterious about it?" Kangxi didn't bother to ask, and picked up a piece of beef tongue crisp and wanted to eat it.

But I heard Ma Quan say: "Your Majesty, this servant has not tested the poison for you yet."

Kangxi laughed and said, "Do you really dare to poison me?"

"I dare not, but there is no guarantee that the ingredients will be all right. Your Majesty, let's eat it after the servant has tested the poison." Ma Guan now dare not take any risk.

The other party can tamper with the water in which the red beans are soaked, but there is no guarantee that they can't tamper with other places.

She ate a piece of ox tongue crisp and red bean muffin, and waited for another quarter of an hour to make sure there was no accident before letting them eat.

With a pensive look on his face, Kangxi began to taste the crispy beef tongue, and beckoned Ma Guan to feed Baocheng.

Ma Guan has fed Baocheng several times, and the two get along very well, and Baocheng likes her very much.

"Aunt Ma Guan, can you stay in Qianqing Palace?" Baocheng suddenly asked a question, and Ma Guan was stunned for a moment.

"His Royal Highness, this servant is serving the Empress Dowager." From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to stay in Qianqing Palace, it was too enviable!

"Oh." Baocheng looked disappointed, and then looked at Kangxi again.

Kangxi patted his head and said with a smile: "Don't make the emperor's great-grandmother unhappy."

"My son knows." Baocheng nodded sensiblely.

Kangxi gave Ma Guan a meaningful look, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Baocheng's words.

The atmosphere in Xinuang Pavilion is harmonious, but they don't know that the Palace of Compassion and Peace is already covered with dark clouds.

After La Aunt Su Ma took away the evidence, she summoned the imperial physician to come over for an examination, and finally found out that there was croton powder in the red bean water!Although the amount is not large, if red beans soaked in croton water are used to make pastries, it is enough to cause diarrhea.

"How dare you do such vile and dirty things in our Compassionate Ning Palace, fortunately you were discovered early! Su Mala, we must find out the murderer behind the scenes!" Go for dim sum for the emperor and prince.

Who is so bold to murder the emperor and prince? !

It has been a long time since such a bad thing happened in the Forbidden City.

"Yes, master." Su Mala's face was as dark as water, if Ma Yuan hadn't found something wrong with the red bean water, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes would have succeeded.

She immediately ordered people to block the Compassion Ning Palace, summoned all the servants of the Compassion Ning Palace, and checked them one by one.

For a moment, everyone in the Compassion Ning Palace was in danger, they were terrified when they heard about this, and they reported the abnormalities they found one by one.

Since the incident happened not long ago, about three hours away, most people can remember clearly what happened during this period.

Soon, a little court lady trembled and reported: "This servant seems to have seen a father-in-law appearing near the dining room. Not long after Ma Yuan left the dining room, this servant exchanged a few words with Ma Yuan."

"Can you see who it is?" Aunt Su Ma was stunned, she didn't expect that someone had actually seen the murderer.

But the maid shook her head in fear: "The servant only saw his back, and the servant was very anxious at the time, so he left very quickly."

"If what you said is true, you will be rewarded after the matter is found out. If you deliberately frame it..."

"Your servant can swear to the sky that what you say is true." The maid was so frightened that she was about to swear to the sky immediately.

Aunt Su Ma didn't make things difficult for her anymore, she looked over the two rows of court ladies and landed on the eunuchs.

There are more than ten junior eunuchs in the Compassionate Ning Palace, headed by Eunuch Shang, and the rest are under his jurisdiction.As soon as Eunuch Shang heard what the maid said, he called it bad luck. The little eunuch below committed a crime, and the Empress Dowager might punish him for a crime of lax control!

"Whoever did it had better stand up for himself, otherwise he will be found out by our family, and he will definitely be told to go around!" Eunuch Shang was furious. This bastard is really bold. He dared to poison the emperor and prince. Copy and chop?

More than a dozen young eunuchs were trembling, all knelt there with their heads bowed, crying for grievances.

Sixi was naturally among them, his face turned ashen. He had thought about the possibility of Dong Chuang's incident, but he didn't expect to be discovered so soon.According to common sense, at least the crown prince would have to wait until His Royal Highness started to have diarrhea after eating the dim sum before finding out that there was something wrong with the dim sum.

However, even if it is found that there is something wrong with Dim Sum, it is Ma Guan who is held accountable and has nothing to do with him.

He was puzzled, how did the maid named Ma Guan know that there was something wrong with the red bean water?And that damned palace lady actually saw his back. He was already very cautious at that time, and he clearly saw that there was no one around.

How unlucky!

Fortunately, he had already buried the medicine bottle. Even if Aunt Su Ma and Eunuch Shang rummaged through it, they probably couldn't find any evidence.

"Don't admit it, right? Tell me one by one, who was you with at the time? Where have you been? If no one can testify, then there is suspicion!" Eunuch Shang was so angry that he said with a pale face. : "Let's talk about our family first, our family has been staying with the Empress Dowager this afternoon, and only went out twice in the middle to pay respects, and the direction is exactly opposite to the dining room!"

Aunt Su Ma nodded, Eunuch Shang didn't have enough time to go out to the dining room to do this.

With Eunuch Shang taking the lead, the rest of the eunuchs had to report one by one.

Naturally, Sixi also thought up her words: "The slave and Xiao Li have been digging the soil in the small garden in the afternoon, and they also came out twice in the middle, and Xiao Li can testify."

The little eunuch next to him hurriedly said: "The servant and Sixi have indeed been loosening the soil in the garden, it's just..."

"Just what?" Eunuch Shang frowned, he hated people who were half-talking the most.

Xiao Lizi glanced at Sixi hesitantly, and said, "It's just that Sixi went out for too long once, it took about a quarter of an hour."

"Little Lizi, what do you mean?" Sixi was taken aback, and hastily defended, "That's a great compliment!"

"Then how do I know if you are a big congratulatory..." Xiao Lizi muttered.

Sixi said with a serious face: "If you want to say that, then I have something to say. You were the only one left when I was born, so where did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just loosened the soil!" Xiao Lizi glared at Sixi viciously, but he didn't expect the other party to beat her up.

When Eunuch Shang wanted to say something, Aunt Su Ma suddenly ordered: "Tie Sixi and Xiao Lizi together, the murderer must be one of them!"

"I'm wronged... Auntie and slave are the ones who are wronged. It's really not the slave who did it..."

Sixi and Xiao Lizi were stunned. Although they hadn't testified for a while, it still couldn't prove that they did it.

Aunt Su Ma snorted coldly and said: "After Ma Guan left, he left a note to tell me about it. At that time, my sister and I went to the dining room for the first time. In addition to finding the red bean water and red beans that had been laced with croton, we also found Some soil was found in the house. In this Palace of Mercy Ning, only you two are loosening the soil today, the murderer must be one of you!"

Si Xi's heart was about to jump out in horror, he actually left such a big opening?

No, it's impossible to find him, it's impossible to find him...

"Send them to the Punishment Department and let the people in the Punishment Department have a good trial. I don't believe they can survive [-] punishments!" Aunt Su Ma gave the order with a cold face.

When it comes to the Punishment Department, I'm not afraid that they won't explain.

"Auntie, please forgive me, please forgive me... This servant is really wronged, even if this servant eats a bear's heart and the guts, he would not dare to murder the emperor..." Xiao Lizi was so frightened that he urinated immediately, with snot and tears, crying until his heart broke.

He suddenly stared at Sixi, and screamed: "It must be you! You went to the dining room to poison while you were out, didn't you? I'll fight with you!"

"Don't bite people indiscriminately!" Sixi was shocked and frightened, this little Lizi was simply crazy.

At this moment, a young eunuch said: "Auntie, I remembered this. I passed by the small garden when I was moving things in the afternoon, and I saw Xiao Lizi digging the soil by himself."

"Xiao Linzi, thank you for testifying for me, thank you for testifying for me..." Xiao Lizi burst into tears and cried: "Auntie, Eunuch Shang, the servant has been digging the soil in the small garden, and has never been to the dining room. ah……"

For a moment, everyone looked at Sixi, who was already terrified. Xiao Linzi's testimony was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, breaking the string in his mind.

He collapsed on the ground, his lips trembled for a while, but he didn't even utter a word.

What is there that Aunt Su Ma doesn't understand?

Immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you murder the emperor and His Highness the crown prince! Come on, you must pry open Si Xi's mouth, and let him tell the truth, who ordered it!"
