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

Sixi was sent to the Punishment Department, and Eunuch Shang personally supervised her.He hated Sixi to death in his heart, this daring slave was too presumptuous, he dared to do such a thing, which made him tremble with fear, for fear of being punished by the Empress Dowager.

The people in charge of interrogating Sixi are veterans, and all punishments are applied to the upper body, causing Sixi to die of pain.

Every time he fainted and woke up again, but he didn't confess the mastermind behind the scenes, only saying that he deserved to die.

The news about the Palace of Compassionate Ning soon spread to the Palace of Qianqing. When Liang Jiugong heard about it, he almost fainted from fright.

"What's the point of being in a hurry?" Kangxi reprimanded displeasedly. He was just using up three pieces of snacks, and he was very unwilling to see that the rest could not be eaten.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, this matter is really too important, my servant, my servant was frightened..." Liang Jiugong calmed down, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What exactly happened?" Kangxi said seriously, Liang Jiugong has always been steady and mature, if he can be panicked like this, something big might really happen.

Liang Jiugong took a look at Ma Yuan before carefully reporting: "Going back to the emperor, news just came from the Compassionate Ning Palace, saying that a murderer who dared to murder the emperor and the crown prince has been arrested and has been sent to the Punishment Department."

"Murder me and the prince?" Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to explain clearly with a suspicious expression on his face.

"Back to the emperor, the person who came to report said that a eunuch named Sixi had a bad intention and put croton powder in the red bean water. The red beans were used to make snacks for the emperor and the crown prince. Thanks to Aunt Ma Juan Clever, found something wrong while making dim sum, and secretly reported the matter to Lagu Su Ma, Lagu Su Ma then led someone to find out..."

"Presumptuous!" Kangxi was suddenly furious. It was the first time he had heard such a thing in his 14 years on the throne.

This slave is really a coward, dare to poison him and the prince, it is really appalling!

He suddenly looked at Ma Quan, remembering what Ma Quan said before, he encountered a little accident while making dim sum, and it turned out to be this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being startled, if Ma Guan didn't find out at that time, and brought him and the crown prince the drugged snack, the consequences would be disastrous.

Who is so cruel?To use the hands of an innocent court lady to murder him and the crown prince?

No, if you really want to murder him and the crown prince, you won't use something like croton powder, which is more used to treat diseases and diarrhea, and rarely kills people.It's more like trying to make him angry and pursue the case. Once the time comes, Ma Guan will be the first to run away, and even the family may be ransacked.

His complexion changed slightly, was this directed at Ma Guan?

Ma Guan was also covered in cold sweat at this time, she was only suspicious at first, but now that it was confirmed, she felt a burst of fear.Fortunately, she was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Can you find out who is behind it?" Kangxi suppressed his anger. If he said that no one was behind it, he would not believe it.

If such a vicious and vicious person is not found, it will be a disaster for a day.

"Back to the emperor, Sixi has just been sent to the Punishment Department, so I don't know exactly what happened." Liang Jiugong broke out in cold sweat, this time it was too thrilling.If the poisoned dim sum really got into the mouths of the emperor and the prince, I don't know how many people would be killed.

"Investigate! Be sure to find out! No matter who instigates it, I will act in accordance with the law!" This trend cannot last long, otherwise everyone in the palace will follow suit, will there be a peaceful day?

"Hey." Liang Jiugong sighed secretly, this time I'm afraid someone will suffer.

After Liang Jiugong left, Kangxi's anger subsided a bit, and when he saw Ma Yuan, a feeling of pity emerged spontaneously.

Counting this time, Ma Guan has been targeted twice, and he treated her differently, and he still hurt her after all.

"Tell me, how did you find out that something was wrong?" He asked softly, and he couldn't help admiring Ma Guan's thoughtfulness, good fortune and prosperity, for being able to avoid such disasters.

Ma Guan stabilized his mind, and racked his brains to answer: "I have a habit of tasting the red bean water after cooking. This time, I found that the taste is a bit strange, a little bit astringent and a little spicy. I am worried that it will be made by doing so. The dim sum was not tasty, so I changed another batch of red beans, boiled it into water and tasted it, and found that the taste was normal again. The servant girl realized something was wrong at this time, so she kept an eye out, and after the dim sum was ready, she secretly informed Su Aunt Ma La came to take away the red bean water and asked her to have a check."

"It is the emperor and His Highness the crown prince who are blessed and blessed to protect the servants from this catastrophe. The servants thank the emperor and His highness the crown prince."

As he spoke, he blessed the two of them with a pious face.

At this moment, a little fairy value arrived.Ma Guan was secretly happy, she didn't expect this to be considered a good deed.

"Nonsense." Kangxi sternly said, "If the other party used croton powder instead of deadly poison, wouldn't it be fatal for you to taste it?"

Ma Guan felt very innocent, but she didn't know it was poisonous before she tasted it.If he was really poisoned to death because of this, he could only accept his fate.

"But if you don't taste it, the poison will enter the mouths of the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince."

Kangxi's heart softened, thinking that Ma Guan had deliberately tested poison on them before, probably because he was worried that the other party had tampered with other ingredients.

"Next time, let someone else test the poison...or replace it with an animal."

"The emperor is merciful." Ma Guan smiled helplessly, and the poison test was also a helpless thing. In this era, the life of the emperor is above everything else.

"You have made great achievements this time, how do you want me to reward you?" Kangxi felt ashamed in his heart, after all, it was because of him that Ma Yuan was murdered again and again.

"It's a servant's honor to make snacks for the emperor, and a servant dare not ask for a reward." Ma Guan lowered her eyes and replied against her will.

She wanted the emperor to let her out of the palace, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible, so she didn't say anything.

"You are generous." Kangxi laughed, secretly thinking about what to reward.

After pondering over and over again, seeing that Ma Guan was very plainly dressed, with no makeup on her beautiful face, she immediately had an idea.

"I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver, and use it to buy some accessories and rouge and gouache to tidy up yourself."

100 taels is actually not worth mentioning for saving a car, but Kangxi doesn't want to reward her too much, lest she will be hated by more people.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Guan completely ignored his disgust in the second half of the sentence, and focused all her attention on the hundred taels of silver, which was not a small sum to her.

When she first entered the palace, she brought some taels of silver, which was specially used to establish relationships. The hairpin she gave Xiangmei on the day of entering the palace was worth at least 20 taels of silver.

After spending so far, she actually doesn't have much money in her hands, and the 100 taels came very timely.

Kangxi also smiled when he saw her happy face, but he didn't expect this girl to be a money fan.

100 taels is indeed a lot for a court lady, and some concubines with low status in the harem only pay 50 taels of silver a year.

Ma Yuan happily received the reward, and was about to return to the Palace of Compassion, when Liang Jiugong suddenly walked in with a hurried expression.

"Your Majesty, that Sixi killed herself by biting her tongue, and she was unwilling to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes even before she died."

"Hmph, it's a loyal dog." Kangxi sneered. Sixi died, and this clue was broken. "Pass down the order, and from today onwards, the harem will conduct a major investigation!"

Even if you can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, you still have to deter the filthy harem.

Liang Jiugong was taken aback. Did the emperor suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes came from the harem?This... He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and immediately took orders to convey it.

In the Zhongcui Palace, the grand maid Qiulin found Ma Jiashi in a panic, and reported by ear: "Sixi committed suicide by biting her tongue, and did not confess to anyone."

"Well, it's kind of a reward." Ma Jiashi didn't seem to be surprised by this result: "It's just that I hate him for being too careless, and that bitch discovered the clues and let her escape."

Qiulin didn't dare to say anything, Ma Jia frowned and asked, "What else is there?"

"Go back to empress, the emperor is angry, and ordered someone to investigate the harem." Qiu Lin's eyes shrank, what if he found something in Zhongcui Palace?

"What are you afraid of? My Zhongcui palace is clean, so I will check it." Ma Jiashi is not afraid. She has been in the harem for so many years, so she naturally knows what to keep and what not to keep. "Swallow the matter of Sixi into your stomach and never mention it again, otherwise you should know the consequences."

"Please rest assured, my maidservant will never reveal anything, otherwise I will never be reborn forever!" Qiu Lin trembled, and quickly fell to his knees to show his loyalty.

For the next month or so, the entire harem was in a panic.

After this investigation, I found some unsightly things.

There are court ladies and guards who communicate in secret, there are court ladies and maids who are at odds with each other, and there are court ladies and eunuchs who see each other right.What is even more shocking is that a concubine actually had an affair with a guard, which was a huge scandal.

In addition to these, some homicide cases were also found, and there were several incidents similar to Xiangmei's torture of the twin sisters.

When Kangxi saw these things, he didn't eat for a whole day.

Maybe the emperor's grandmother is right, it's time to find someone to take care of the harem.

……

It was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival was approaching, and the imperial court also had a holiday. Finally, Kangxi was able to spend a few days of leisurely life.

Today, I went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay my respects, and found that the maids and eunuchs of the Palace of Compassion and Peace were busy posting Spring Festival couplets, and there was also a long string of red lanterns with the word "Fu" on them. It was really lively.

Ma Juan was wearing a red jacket, and she looked a lot more delicate and cute.The Chinese New Year was coming, the Empress Dowager gave them many gifts, and the servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace were very grateful.

"Your Majesty, this is a rice cake made by your servants. Your Majesty, try it?" Ma Yuan put a plate of rice cakes on the table. This is a new variety she specially introduced, and the Empress Dowager liked it very much after tasting it.

"Seeing you showing off, then I will try it. If it is not delicious, I will punish you." Kangxi looked at the soft and wriggly rice cake, picked up a piece and fed it into his mouth. It has a different taste from dim sum.

"Well, it's not bad. For the family dinner on New Year's Eve, you can make a few more dishes." Kangxi was very satisfied with the meal, and intentionally included it in the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the achievement was recognized, Ma Guan also had a happy face.

Since the incident of poisoning, the emperor seldom asked her to make snacks, and her life has been relatively stable recently.

The mastermind behind the poisoning has never been found out. Although Ma Guan had some guesses, she didn't dare to speak nonsense, so she had to pay more attention on weekdays.

It was that Baocheng often came to the Compassionate Ning Palace to have a meal, and Aunt Ma Yu was the eldest, and Aunt Ma Yu was short. They were actually very affectionate, which surprised the Empress Dowager.

Time soon came to New Year's Eve, and Kangxi held an annual family banquet.

In addition to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Prince, there were also several favored concubines who had the honor to participate, such as Niu Colu from Jingren Palace, Nala from Yanxi Palace, and Ma Jia from Zhongcui Palace.

As for the Li family of Changchun Palace and the Wanyan family of Xianfu Palace, although the confinement has ended, they are still not allowed to participate.

Since it was a family banquet, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. With the presentation of delicacies, the Qianqing Palace became more and more lively.

After everyone sent their blessings, Kangxi suddenly said: "Recently some unseemly things have been found out in the harem. This incident has really sounded a wake-up call for me. The harem cannot be left alone for a day."

Immediately, Nalashi, Ma Jiashi and other concubines were secretly startled, and they all looked over.

The emperor is dissatisfied with the rules of the harem, and wants to become a queen?

"However, the empress has passed away for less than three years, so it is not appropriate to become an empress at this time. Therefore, I have decided to let Wanning be in charge of the harem." Kangxi looked at Niu Gulu, who was surprised and delighted, and immediately fell to his knees Land, kowtow to thank you.

"The concubine takes orders." No matter how indifferent Niu Gulu's performance was on weekdays, he couldn't help feeling turbulent at this moment.

Now she is acting in charge of the harem, and when the three-year period comes, she is likely to be the real queen.

As a concubine, if she said she never imagined that one day she would be the mother of the world, she would be deceiving herself and others.

In fact, as the daughter of the assistant minister, Ye Bilong, she has received various teachings since she was a child, and she is being cultivated as a future queen.

Now that she is seeing victory in sight, why is she not happy?Not surprised?

On the other side, disappointment flashed across the faces of Nalashi, Ma Jiashi and others. Although their identities and backgrounds are not as good as Niu Gulu's, they have children. Niu Gulu has been in the palace for so many years, but Not even pregnant.

"Get up, the harem will be handed over to you from now on, I don't want to see any unseemly things again." Kangxi nodded slightly.

It was his consensus with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager that Niu Gulu's family would be in charge of the harem. With Ye Bilong dead, Niu Gulu's family could not cause any disturbances.And Niu Gulu's background, talent, and disposition are all top-notch in the harem, and he is the most suitable candidate.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubines will do their best to take care of the harem for the Emperor." Niu Gulu's surprise on the bottom of his face returned to his usual calm appearance.

This family banquet can be described as joyful and sad for several families. Since the emperor announced this, the rest of the concubines lost their appetite for food.

Near the end, Ma Guan and Sister Shuang appeared, each presented a plate of rice cakes, and the other maids gave each master a piece or two.

"Aunt Ma Guan, you finally delivered the rice cakes. I didn't eat much just now, and I was just waiting for your rice cakes." Unexpectedly, Baocheng's brows were filled with joy, and Ma Guan became the focus of the crowd with an unintentional remark.

Ma Guan is almost one head and two big. Wouldn't this offend the imperial chef to death?And she didn't want to show off at all.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for liking it." She bit the bullet and said, wanting to take the opportunity to leave.

"I have long heard that there is a maid who can make dim sum next to the imperial grandmother. It turns out that it is you. His Royal Highness praises you so much. I think this rice cake is really good." Unexpectedly, Niu Yulu also spoke, with a bit of praise tone of voice.

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "This child, Ma Guan, is really good at making dim sum, and the rare Baocheng also likes her very much."

The concubines have strange complexions, they look like their own mother, how can Baocheng not like it?

Ma Guan had some ominous premonitions. The Empress Dowager seldom praises others. Today she actually praised her in front of so many people. She always feels that... something will happen.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager continued to say: "While we are here today, the Ai family happened to say something. Ma Yuan, from now on, you should go to the Qianqing Palace to be on duty. The emperor and the prince love to eat your cooking." Dim sum, I can’t always come to Ai’s family to let you make it. There is also Baocheng, who has told Ai’s family several times that I hope you can take care of him. Ai’s great-grandmother can still compete with her great-grandson. People can't do it?"

Ma Guan stood there dumbfounded, and the Empress Dowager actually asked her to go to the Qing Palace?This is to give her to the emperor and prince?
