In order not to disturb Concubine An, and to give Lamei and Hanlu a sense of oppression, Ma Guan and Concubine Hui brought them directly to the main hall.

Concubine Gui, Niu Gulu, Rong Concubine, Yi Concubine and others also went together, trying to find out what was going on.

According to the status, the imperial concubine took the main seat, and Ma Guan and concubines Hui sat on the two sides.Lamei and Hanlu knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to lift their heads.

"Han Lu." Concubine Hui suddenly called out his name.

Han Lu was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The servant is here."

"I want to ask you, who sent this plate of dim sum? Did you tamper with it after it was delivered?" Concubine Hui watched Han Lu's every move closely. If it wasn't for someone spying on her during this period, how could she I can't believe that such a timid and docile court lady would do such a thing behind her back.

"Back to the empress, this plate of dim sum was personally delivered by Xianglian, who is next to the imperial concubine, and it was delivered just like this, and the servants did not tamper with it." Speaking of this, Han Lu felt guilty for a while, because she had melted the pills with her own hands before, Drizzle water over desserts.

"Look into Ben Gong's eyes and speak!" Concubine Hui raised her voice, Han Lu couldn't help trembling, and slowly raised her head.

However, he only glanced at Concubine Hui and then withdrew his gaze.

"Everything I said is true..." Her voice began to tremble, and she felt her throat was dry.

Concubine Hui glanced at Ma Guan, who nodded slightly, and then asked, "Where is Xianglian?"

"Your maidservant is here." Immediately, a palace maid walked out beside the imperial concubine, and she knelt down beside Han Lu.

Ma Guan winked, and asked Yuan He to bring over the plate of poisonous dim sum: "Take a closer look at this dim sum, is there any difference from when you brought it?"

She was sure that An Pin and Han Lu had tampered with the dim sum, and there was only one way to fully incorporate the arsenic into the dim sum: dissolve it in water first.

Xianglian raised her head and took a closer look at the dessert, then bit her lower lip: "It seems different."

"Can you see clearly?"

"Your Majesty, can this slave give me a hand?" Xianglian asked in a low voice in fear.

"You can't use your hands, it's poisonous." Ma Guan ordered, "Get her a pair of chopsticks."

Qiaoyun took the order, and quickly fetched the chopsticks and handed them to Xianglian.Xiang Lian thanked her, and pressed it with her chopsticks, but when she pressed it, there was a crater, and she couldn't play it anymore, and there were water stains oozing out.

"Your Majesty, this dessert has been soaked in water. When the slaves brought it, it definitely didn't look like this." Xianglian was shocked. When she said this, everyone immediately understood that it must be Concubine An who poured poisonous water on the dessert!

The noble concubine blurted out and cursed: "I just said that that bitch, Concubine An, poisoned me and wanted to wrong me!"

"La Mei, Han Lu, you're still not telling the truth!" Concubine Hui yelled again, scaring the two palace maids to turn pale and panicked.

The two of them couldn't understand why such a secret matter was found out so easily.Could it be that the Empress Debi sent someone to watch them?Otherwise, how would you think that the dim sum was soaked in water?Where would a normal person notice this?

But this matter must not be admitted, otherwise wouldn't it be suicide?

Han Lu clenched her fists. If this matter is found out, not only she, but also Eunuch Jiang will suffer. This is her first man. How could she be willing to let him be implicated?

"You are wronged... Ladies and gentlemen, the servants are wronged... This is how it was when the dessert was delivered, the servants really did not touch their hands..." The two cried loudly, shouting injustice together, and glared at Xianglian angrily. .

Xiang Lian was also anxious, and argued: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiang Lian absolutely did not lie, the snacks brought by the servants definitely did not have so much water."

Ma Juan sighed: "Sister Hui, it seems that some people are still lucky and won't tell the truth. What do you think about this?"

"Sister Debi, you and I originally had a magnanimous mind and wanted to let them explain themselves, and then the sentence will be lighter. Since they don't cherish this opportunity, there is no need for us to be long-winded." Huibi has long been waiting It's too late, this trump card must be used when it should be used.

The two were playing charades, but the rest were confused. Could it be that these two had already grasped the evidence?

I heard Concubine Hui say: "Han Lu, do you think that if you don't tell the truth, I can't help you? Hmph, I have already got your evidence. The arsenic was given to you by Eunuch Jiang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You Deliberately put it in An Bin's snacks, trying to poison her?!"

"Ah..." Han Lu immediately exclaimed, her body went limp from fright.

Niu Gulu's complexion also changed slightly, it's impossible, how could Concubine Hui know Eunuch Jiang?Besides Eunuch Jiang, what else does she know?

The ominous premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"Say!" Concubine Hui shouted sharply, Han Lu couldn't even kneel on the spot, and collapsed on the ground.

"Slave...no..." Han Lu stammered out a few words, and there was a murmur in her throat, but she couldn't say the following words.

At this moment, Shuiyu beside Niu Gulushi secretly whispered something, Niu Gulushi couldn't help but change his face, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief before covering it up.

She glared at Shuiyu angrily, but Shuiyu's eyes were full of anxiety, this is a terrible thing.

Ma Guan noticed Niu Gulu's reaction and smiled secretly in his heart. This person finally found out that Eunuch Jiang was missing.

"Bring him up." She didn't bother to listen to Han Lu's nonsense anymore, and gave the order directly.

The imperial concubine and the others showed doubts, leading someone?Who are you bringing up?

The next moment, a young eunuch was pushed in with his hands tied.

When he saw the face of the little eunuch, Niu Gulu took a breath and almost couldn't help screaming, his hands trembled.

Her eyes were full of horror, how could this be possible?How could Eunuch Jiang be caught by Depin's men?Did Concubine De have her eye on Eunuch Jiang long ago?Did he also discover Eunuch Jiang's relationship with her?

She originally planned to repeat what happened last time, and kill Eunuch Jiang after using it, so after hearing that Concubine An was poisoned, she sent someone to deal with Eunuch Jiang.

But she didn't want to, her people went one step late, Shuiyu reported just now, but she couldn't find Eunuch Jiang after searching for a long time.Unexpectedly, this guy was already caught by Debi's men.

Han Lu took a sneak peek and was shocked. Eunuch Jiang was caught. Could it be that their incident was really exposed?

"I have seen you ladies." Eunuch Jiang knelt down respectfully and saluted, but his tone was quite upset: "Miss Debi, I don't know what happened to this servant? You want to arrest this servant and come here?"

"What did you do that you don't know?" Ma Guan was about to laugh angrily, how dare this man ask her?

Eunuch Jiang said stiffly: "This servant has always been kind to others and abides by the palace rules. I really don't know what I have committed..."

"Be kind to others? This palace believes that you are as kind as the Changchun Palace, and as kind as the court lady Hanlu." Ma Guan sneered, and suddenly his face became serious: "You and Hanlu have been in the west side hall of the Changchun Palace for several days. Do you really think I don’t know?! You are a bold slave, and you haven’t really recruited them!”

"Bang!" The teacup in Concubine Yi's hand fell to the ground, she was shocked, this Eunuch Jiang actually had an affair with Concubine An's court lady Han Lu, and was caught by Concubine De?

Concubine Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong and the others were also stunned. These two dogs have sneaked into the cold palace, right under Concubine An's eyes. What does Concubine An eat?

Niu Gulu's eyebrows twitched, De Concubine really knew, she knew it all!

"The slave didn't..." Eunuch Jiang's face turned pale suddenly. This matter is so secret, how could Empress Debi know?

"You still dare to quibble? Do you want me to take people to visit the Xipei Hall to see the traces you left behind?" When Ma Yu said this, she felt disgusted at first, and the other concubines really did too. Show disgust.

"No...no..." Han Lu shook her head in horror, there were still her and Eunuch Jiang's personal belongings in the Xipei Hall, once the door was opened, they could no longer be hidden.

"The harem of Yin Chaos, this is the Harem of Yin Chaos!" The concubine was shocked, how dare this pair of slaves be so bold?

For a moment, she was so surprised that she even forgot about An Bin's poisoning.

Concubine Rong said with a disgusted face: "This matter must be severely punished! Back then, the emperor sent someone to clean up the harem. It has only been a few years, and these bastards have forgotten and started doing these dirty things again."

"Troubleshooting the harem is a serious crime. Eunuch Jiang, Han Lu, and others have not confessed honestly!" Concubine Hui hated these two people to death. For doing such a disgusting thing, the emperor might punish them for lax management.

For the sake of this, Eunuch Jiang and Han Lu both had ashes on their faces, their lips trembled, and they couldn't say a word of excuse.

"Slave, explain..." After a long time, Eunuch Jiang said in despair: "Slave and Han Lu are living together in Changchun Palace... Slave deserves to die! Slave deserves to die!"

Han Lu kept crying, and Eunuch Jiang had confessed, so could she still argue?

"At the beginning, the servant just heard that the Changchun Palace can gamble, so he would come and walk around when his hands were itchy, and Hanlu and Wintersweet often brought tea to the servants, and they got to know each other after a long time. Not long ago, the servant really couldn't resist the temptation of Hanlu, With her...with her..." Eunuch Jiang cried and felt wronged, as if he was the one who was raped.

Everyone was shocked again, these slaves actually gambled in Changchun Palace?It seems that Changchun Palace is really a place where dirt is hidden.

"You're talking nonsense, obviously you forced me..." Han Lu stared at Eunuch Jiang in disbelief. He actually said that she seduced me?

Eunuch Jiang sneered and said, "I am also Eunuch Li's apprentice after all. If you hadn't deliberately seduced me, I would have liked you? Didn't you seduce me just to get out of this cold palace? You still have the key to the Xipei Hall, saying that you are going to live there It will never be discovered."

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense..." Han Lu burst into tears. How could the gentle and pampering Eunuch Jiang become like this?

She cried and shook her head, she couldn't believe that the people she had been with treated her like this, she gave her sincerity.

"Wuuuuuuuu..." Han Lu couldn't stop crying, even if she was exposed as poisoned before, she had never been so heartbroken.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense, you know best." Eunuch Jiang still sprinkled salt on his wounds, wishing to blame Han Lu for everything: "You still told me that Mrs. An concubine treated you badly, and you wanted to go with me to the House of Internal Affairs Delicious and spicy..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Han Lu suddenly yelled, wiped the tears from her face, and complained: "I thought you could be relied on, but I didn't expect you to be like this. Since you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous! You gave me the poison, you said it was just a laxative, but it was arsenic! It was you who wanted to kill Lady An!"

Eunuch Jiang was shocked and said angrily: "You don't want to frame people for nothing. When did I give you laxative arsenic/cream? I have no grievances or enmity with Mrs. An, how could I give you such a thing?"

Han Lu screamed: "You don't even admit it? It was last night, in the Xipei Hall! You also told me that the last time the imperial concubine wanted to harm Concubine An, let me tell Concubine An about it. I told Concubine An After concubine empress, empress is going to invite imperial concubine empress to come over and talk about it, I told you about this last night, you left for a while, and then gave me a pill when you came back, you don't want to quibble!"

"Nonsense, my father-in-law never did this..." Eunuch Jiang blushed in anxiety, never expecting the cowardly and cowardly Han Lu to bite him in a hurry.

"What are you talking about? What did I do to harm Concubine An? Tell me clearly!" The noble concubine was in a daze, why did she get involved in this matter again?

Han Lu gritted her teeth, and now she didn't care about it: "Go back to the imperial concubine, Eunuch Jiang said that you were the one who harmed nobleman Hesheli last time, and you even blamed it on the concubine An."

"Nonsense!" The imperial concubine was furious: "I was still grounded at that time, and I had never seen the Hesheli family. How could I do such a thing? Well, you Jiang Gonggong, how dare you arrange this palace behind your back? Look! Ben Gong won’t tear your mouth apart! Yong Su, slap your mouth!”

Immediately behind her came out a big court lady, who was "slapping" a few big mouths at Eunuch Jiang.

Eunuch Jiang complained so much that tears flowed from the pain. After a while, his cheeks became red and swollen, and one of his teeth fell out.

"My concubine, please calm down. This dog slave is also involved in the murder of Concubine An. Do you want to wait until the interrogation is over before continuing to torture?" Seeing that Eunuch Jiang was beaten into a pig's head, Ma Guan was really worried that one of them would pass out accidentally.

"Then interrogate first, Yongsu, stop." The imperial concubine still felt puzzled, she glared at Eunuch Jiang viciously, it is really hateful that a mere servant dares to frame her like this.

Ma Guan stared at Eunuch Jiang and asked, "Aren't you telling the truth? Tell me, who gave you that pill?"

Eunuch Jiang's tears kept rolling down, and he secretly glanced at Niu Gulu, but the other party gave him a warning look.

"Your servant has been wronged... The servant really didn't give Han Lu any pills, my lord is so enlightened..."

"Obviously you gave it to me, and you still complain? You asked me to embroider you a sachet, but fortunately, I knew it was illegal, so I didn't embroider it for you." Han Lu was furious, and she was very grateful to Lamei for this. If Lamei hadn't been smashed, the sachet might have been used by Eunuch Jiang to make a fuss.

"This palace gives you opportunities over and over again, but you don't know how to cherish them." Ma Guan shook her head, these people really didn't see the coffin without crying: "Shu Hai, tell me about Eunuch Jiang's whereabouts in the past few days Report it to all the ladies."

"Yes, empress." Shuhai took a step forward, still holding a booklet in his hand, and began to read. "On the ninth day of March, Eunuch Jiang entered Yongshou Palace at [-]:[-] and left at [-]:[-], and then returned to the House of Internal Affairs..."

"Sister Depin, what do you mean?" After hearing this sentence, Niu Gulu couldn't sit still.

Eunuch Jiang was also so shocked that his feet trembled and he almost collapsed on the ground.

"Concubine Niu, please don't get me wrong. My sister just noticed that Eunuch Jiang's whereabouts are unusual, so she sent someone to follow him for a few days. During this period, not only was it recorded that he was in Yongshou Palace, but also that he went to other places. Please listen patiently." Guan replied lukewarm, and found that Niu Gulu's face was sinking like water.

For a moment, all the concubines looked at Niu Gulu, especially the imperial concubine, and gritted their teeth with hatred. Niu Gulu's reaction was too abnormal!

Shu Hai continued to read: "On the tenth day of March, Mr. Jiang entered the Changchun Palace at the second quarter of the Shenshi hour, exited at the second quarter of the you hour, entered the Yongshou Palace at the third quarter of the unitary hour, and exited at the fourth quarter of the unitary hour, and then returned to the House of Internal Affairs."

No matter how stupid the concubines are, they will feel that something is wrong. Why does Eunuch Jiang keep running to Yongshou Palace?Could it be that he conspired with Niu Gulushi so early?

"On March [-]th, Eunuch Jiang entered the Changchun Palace every moment of Shenshi. The slave followed him in this time and found him gambling with others in the anteroom until the end of Shenshi. Afterwards, all the eunuchs left Changchun Palace one after another, but Eunuch Jiang and the palace maid Han Lu secretly Sneak into the Xibei Palace to have an affair, and come out at the second quarter of the Youshi..."

"March [-]th, Jiang Gonggong entered the ear chamber of Changchun Palace to gamble at the second quarter of the unitary time, Shen Shimo and Han Lu entered the West Side Hall, and left at the second quarter of the unitary time. Entered the Yongshou Palace at the third quarter of the unitary time, and came out at the fourth quarter of the unitary time..."

"March [-]th, that is, yesterday, Jiang Gonggong entered the West Side Hall of Changchun Palace at the beginning of Youshi, and came out at a quarter of Youshi. "

These are the tracking situation of Shuhai in the past few days. After he finished reading, he handed in the booklet for the concubines to check.

"Shu Hai is only responsible for tracking Eunuch Jiang. As for what Eunuch Jiang has done frequently entering the Yongshou Palace, I am afraid that only he knows." Ma Guan waved his hand to let Shuhai back down, and then looked at Eunuch Jiang with a smile: "Why don't you talk about it yourself?"

"Debi, what exactly do you want to do?" Niu Gulu finally couldn't sit still, and the good sister character she maintained was also facing collapse.

"Niu Gulu, I would like to know what you are going to do?" Before Ma Guan could speak, the imperial concubine angrily scolded: "Please tell me honestly, did you give the arsenic/shuang to this dog slave to let him go?" Harm Concubine An?"

"Imperial concubine, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. What evidence do you have that I did it?" Niu Yulu stared at the imperial concubine coldly, and the two seemed to be at loggerheads.

The imperial concubine sneered and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Then tell me, why does this dog slave go to your palace to report every day? Don't say it's just a sea of ​​books making up nonsense!"

"It was his nonsense. I have never seen Eunuch Jiang for so many days!" Niu Gulu took advantage of the fact that no one saw him with his own eyes, and began to pester him until he died.

"Okay, then let's invite the emperor here to see if you dare to be so stubborn in front of the emperor." The imperial concubine was furious. She has been low-key and honest recently, but she was calculated by Niu Yulu like this, how could she be reconciled?

If Concubine De hadn't been monitoring that Eunuch Jiang, she might not be cleared up by jumping into the Yellow River today, and everyone would think that she was going to poison Concubine An.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Ma Guan with mixed feelings, but she didn't expect that the person who helped her this time was the annoying Debi.

"Please, please, I haven't done it, so I haven't done it." Niu Gulushi stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.

Ma Guan and Concubine Hui looked at each other. At this point, it is indeed the best result to invite the emperor. Although the two of them are in charge of the harem, after all, their status is lower than that of the imperial concubine and concubine Niu. No matter which one they win, some people will not accept it.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong stood up and went to Qianqing Palace together to invite the emperor to come out of the mountain.

During the period, An Bin was also helped over when she heard the words, and after hearing the whole story, she gritted her teeth with hatred for Niu Gulu.

How vicious is this Niu Gulu family?To poison her to death!If it wasn't for the fact that she just wanted to put on a show and let Han Lu dissolve the pill, she would have turned into a corpse now.

An Pin has never been so angry like this. She thinks she has never offended Niu Gulushi, but counting the last time, Niu Gulushi has already hurt her twice.

Even if she dies, she must avenge this revenge!

Kangxi finally came.

Hearing that there was another major incident in the harem, he felt a headache. Not long after Hesheli fell into the water, Concubine An was poisoned again. Isn't there a quiet day in the harem?

"Debi, tell me, what's going on?" Kangxi trusted Ma Guan, so he asked her to tell the cause and effect of the matter.

Ma Guan reported everything in an orderly manner, but did not identify Niu Gulu's family, and only let Kangxi judge by himself.

The more Kangxi heard it, the more ugly his face became. This incident actually involved the imperial concubine, Niu Gulu and An concubine. All three of them had been grounded before. Why didn't they know how to stop?

He glanced at the three of them with displeasure, all three of them were shocked, knowing that the emperor was really angry.

"Jiang Zhe." Kangxi suddenly called his name.

"The slave is here." Eunuch Jiang was startled, he could have no fear in front of the ladies, but in the face of this emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't give birth to any resistance.

Kangxi asked sternly: "This booklet records that you have entered and exited Yongshou Palace many times. Do you have anything to say?"

"Slaves...slaves have nothing to say..." Eunuch Jiang was about to pee in fright, and when he reached the lie on his lips, he swallowed it back with a mutter.

Niu Gulu's complexion changed at that moment, this damn dog slave is really unreliable, she should have silenced him earlier.

Kangxi's face darkened, and he continued to drink and ask: "What did you do in Yongshou Palace at Youshi yesterday? Tell me honestly!"

Eunuch Jiang showed bitterness, looked up at Niu Gulu, and said in despair: "Madam, I can only let you down."

The author has something to say: The emperor said that I am very tired, after dealing with the previous dynasty, I have to deal with the harem.

Hey, I don't know why the word arsenic/shuang is also harmonized.
