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

"Chuxiu Palace?"

"I am the head of Chuxiu Palace, how come I have never seen you before?"

The person who spoke was Concubine Yi!

She just felt the weather was stuffy and was getting some fresh air at the door of Chuxiu Palace. She asked the palace maid beside her to get some mung bean soup to clear away the heat, but unexpectedly she suddenly saw the figure of a little eunuch.

Concubine Yi grew up on the grassland and learned martial arts since childhood. She recognized at a glance that this step was definitely not something a little eunuch could do.

She shouted out immediately, and only now realized that there was no one around her, and she felt a little scared.

While quietly moving towards the Chuxiu Palace, Yipin shouted, "Wait a minute, I will call out the eunuch in charge of the palace and have him identify it carefully."

There is water and a well nearby, so it's easy to drown someone.

Longkodo was already prepared to silence the witness!

"Eunuch Gao?"

A eunuch's voice came over, and he walked up to Concubine Yi and said, "My lady, I am a eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this is the new eunuch Gao. He is from a bondservant family and has some skills.

"When the eunuch in charge saw him, he guessed that he might be assigned to serve in our Chuxiu Palace. Who knew that after hearing the news, this boy wanted to come and see for himself how magnificent Chuxiu Palace was."

After saying this, the eunuch raised his hand and hit Longkodo twice on the head: "Little bastard, why are you so anxious? You disturbed the nobles in the palace, but can you afford to bear the consequences with your worthless life?"

Two more slaps.

Longkodo knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and begged the young master to spare his life. He said he would never dare to do it again.

"That's all. Go down."

Yipin waved her hand and said disdainfully, "We can't afford such a restless person in Chuxiu Palace. Please tell the eunuch in charge to send someone else instead."

"Yes Yes Yes......"

The two "eunuchs" retreated.

--------

Before Longkodo met Kangxi, Concubine De already knew about the matter.

Zhu Xi said, "Your Majesty, even though this matter has been concealed for now, if it is not resolved, there will be trouble in the future. Chuxiu Palace is becoming more and more restless."

Defei was angry that Longkodo acted on his own and just ran to Yonghe Palace.

If he hadn't arranged for a eunuch to follow behind him and see this scene, he would have quickly spoken out to help.

Could it be that Longkodo was really so bold as to kill people directly in this palace?

De Fei was dissatisfied. Long Kodo was so self-righteous. What was the difference between him and his sister who had tricked her into the palace with a pink dress to assist him? !

Being so reckless, aren't you putting yourself in danger?

But when it was time for Concubine De to calm things down, she still had to take action.

After all, the feelings between her and Longkodo were just a temporary thing. What was more important was that they both knew too many of each other's secrets and were already tied to the same rope.

It seems that I have to take that step.

It was already afternoon. After Yixiu and Concubine De finished their lunch, they went to a side hall to rest.

But with Concubine De, Yixiu did not sleep well. She just lay on the couch to rest her brain.

Hearing Zhu Xi knocking on the door, he straightened his clothes, stood up and opened the door.

---------

Concubine Min was indeed seriously ill.

From May till now, no matter how many medicines she took, her condition did not improve. Defei knew all of this.

But how can the death of Concubine Min be linked to Concubine Yi?

"Zhu Xi, go and have our people carefully investigate what caused Minpin to fall ill for the first time, and then secretly copy out a copy of the medicines Minpin has been taking these days."

Concubine Min is only thirty years old now and has always been in good health. However, she suddenly developed dysentery in May and did not get better after being treated by the imperial physician for several months.

When Concubine De first heard it, she also had doubts in her heart.

It was just because she didn't have much connection with Concubine Min, so she didn't take it to heart after hearing it.

Now it seems that a thorough investigation is needed.

"Mother, I'm worried that if someone did this on purpose, maybe the Imperial Hospital would make two copies of the prescription. I'm afraid we won't be able to tell anything from the prescription. Why don't we look for the dregs of the medicine and secretly take some of the food from Concubine Min's palace?"

Concubine De nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

Although Concubine De had no friendship with Concubine Min, things like the drug residue would generally not be noticed by others.

All you need to do is find a palace maid and have her pick through the garbage thrown out from Concubine Min's palace when no one is around.

Before evening, Zhu Xi came back with the medicine residue.

Yixiu didn't say anything more about inviting Wen Xumo to come.

The last time she received the prescription for treating a headache, she had already realized that Wen Xumo was not willing to be involved in too many disputes, so she naturally had to respect his wishes.

Fortunately, Concubine De also had a trusted imperial physician in the palace. After carefully examining the patient for two days, he came back to the palace and replied:

"The Chinese medicine residue smells like beans, so it must have been boiled with various beans. But the person who poisoned it was very attentive and picked out every bit of the bean residue. This kind of attentiveness is rare."

"Then is the imperial physician sure that the beans have been cooked?" Concubine De picked it up and smelled it, saying, "I smell it, but there is no smell at all."

The imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, this medicine residue has been in my hands for two days. The smell will gradually dissipate in the air."

"Moreover, I found traces of honey in Concubine Min's food. Honey, together with the hydrangea and hydrangea grass in this medicinal material, are both medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying."

"If each of these ingredients is consumed individually, there is no problem. However, if they are mixed together and given to someone who is already sick, it will be like poison, slowly seeping into the human bone marrow. I have secretly read the records of the Imperial Hospital, and I am afraid that Concubine Min will not be able to recover."

Yixiu said, "Mother should have acquaintances in the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen. There is no need for me to say anything more. I think it would be better to wait until the day of Concubine Min's funeral and search for it in Chuxiu Palace. The grieving Emperor will definitely want to comfort the deceased soul."

Defei agreed with Yixiu's idea.

Originally, after discussing this matter, Yixiu was going to leave the palace and return to Beile's Mansion today.

However, Defei changed her mind and let her stay for a few more days until something happened to Minpin.

Yixiu had no choice but to continue living in the palace.

Coming out of the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Yixiu felt that something seemed to be missing this time when she entered the palace?

What is missing?

Oh, why didn’t Fourteenth Prince come?

"Where's Yinzhen?"

Yixiu turned around and asked Jianqiu: "Last time he said he wanted a small wooden eagle made by a Han Chinese outside the palace, and this time I brought it in for him, why is he gone?"

"I heard that the princes are busy reviewing their lessons. In half a month, the emperor will follow the custom to review the princes' knowledge. I guess the fourteenth prince is also busy preparing?"

I see. Then let the child study well and don’t disturb him.

Yixiu didn't take it to heart.

However, before dinner that day, Yinzhen suddenly appeared.

He was in high spirits all the way here and didn't look like he was tortured by his homework at all.

"Isn't your royal father going to examine the knowledge of each prince? Why did you come here? Have you finished reviewing the books?" Yixiu asked in a low voice. She was somewhat dissatisfied.

How could she be the only one being tortured by various tasks?

While Concubine De was still here, she said like coaxing a child, "While Concubine De is still here, Fourteenth Prince, do you want to go back and continue studying? Sister-in-law Fourteen is still waiting to see our Fourteenth Prince surpass your Fourth Brother!"

At this moment, Yixiu’s inner thoughts: Just focus on your work and don’t enjoy yourself!

Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen: Fourth sister-in-law cares about me, Fourth sister-in-law is looking forward to me, Fourth sister-in-law really cares about me!

“No!” Yinzhen pouted, sat on the chair and poured himself a glass of water: “I am used to accompanying Fourth…Mother for meals. I used to come here every day to accompany Mother. I miss Mother so much these few days since I haven’t come!”

"Old Fourteen, you still remember to come. Now that you've grown up, we can't see each other for ten days or half a month. You should hang out with Old Eight and the older ones. They've grown up and left the palace to set up their own houses. How come you have your own house too?"

"Don't you want your mother anymore before you come of age?"
