She stared at Qinghe closely, Qinghe was flustered by the sight, her scalp was numb, she just felt that it was more terrifying than facing the imperial concubine.

"Since you said that it was Ben Gong who asked you to send the perfume, then Ben Gong asks you, when and where did you meet Ben Gong?"

Qinghe's mind went blank, she had never been to the Yonghe Palace at all, so how could she answer these questions?

I can only falter and make up: "The servant came to the Yonghe Palace after dinner a few days ago, about Maoshi...the empress gave the perfume to the servant in the back hall..."

"Heh..." Ma Guan raised the corners of his lips and asked, "Are you sure it's this time and place?"

"Indeed, sure." Qinghe answered bravely.

"That's strange. At this time, I usually teach the fourth elder brother, Wei Ying and nobleman Hesheli to paint. Didn't you see Weiyue and nobleman Hesheli when you came?" Ma Guan's eyes became sharper, and his voice suddenly changed. Leng: "You don't even know the schedule of this Palace, how dare you lie in public?!"

Qing He was shocked, no one told her about this, how could she know that Empress Debi would be with other masters at this time?

She reasoned according to common sense, and deliberately picked a time, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Slave, servant girl, look, I saw...The servant girl will be summoned by the mother after they leave..." She still tried to argue, but she didn't know that she had been fooled by Ma Guan from the beginning.

"Did you see it? What did you see them doing?" Ma Guan raised her eyebrows and asked strangely.

"They are learning painting from the empress..."

"you sure?"

Qinghe gritted her teeth, and replied: "Slave is sure."

Ma Guan rolled her eyes secretly, dare to frame her with such an IQ?If you cheat casually, you will be exposed.

Before she could speak, nobleman Hesheli said suspiciously: "But I usually learn painting from Empress Debi in the morning, and play by myself in the afternoon."

Wei agreed and echoed, "I also learn painting from Empress Debi in the morning, so I won't bother you in the afternoon."

In an instant, Qing He's complexion was pale, and she fell to the ground slumped.She was fooled, and she was fooled by De Concubine, who was indeed more insidious and cunning than in the legend.

The imperial concubine's complexion was not very good-looking, she secretly scolded Ma Guan for being treacherous, and at the same time scolded Qing He for being stupid, for falling into such a simple trick.

"Bold slave, dare to frame De Concubine, and even try to deceive the king, are you guilty?" Kangxi's complexion was dark, and he scolded loudly.

Hearing this, how could he not understand?This court lady deliberately framed Ma Guan, and she kept making sophistry again and again, which is really hateful.

Qinghe collapsed directly, crying and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me... the slaves were also forced, it was the imperial concubine who asked the slaves to push the slaves onto the concubine's body... woo woo woo... the imperial concubine even issued a gag order , if the servant dares to confide half a word, the servant will die, and the whole family of the servant will be killed...The servant really can't help it, the emperor has mercy..."

"You're talking nonsense! How dare you frame me!" The noble concubine turned pale with shock, this dog servant actually bit back when he was about to die, and if he had known about it, he would have killed him in advance. "Your majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. How could the concubine say such things and do such things?"

"I suspected it was you long ago, but I didn't expect it to be you. Concubine, you have plotted and framed Concubine De for so many times, and you still don't know how to go back on your word, which makes me so disappointed. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you out!" Kangxi was not at all surprised, In this harem, only the concubine dared to do such a thing.

She had committed evil many times before, and the last time she was confinement for only three months because she was poisoned and repented wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that it was just her trick.

"Your majesty, it's really not a concubine, there are really no concubines..." There was a loud bang in the concubine's mind, is the emperor grounding her again?No, she doesn't want to be locked up in Chengqian Palace anymore.

Kangxi ignored her, just stared at Qinghe and asked: "Where does the imperial concubine's perfume come from?"

Qinghe cried and replied: "Go back to the emperor, the imperial concubine only told sister Xianglian about it, it seems that sister Xianglian brought it in from outside."

"Where is Xianglian?"

"Slave, this servant has seen the emperor." Xianglian was startled for a long time, her knees softened and she knelt on the ground.

"I ask you, where does the imperial concubine's perfume come from?" Kangxi asked again.

Xiang Lian lowered her head, and replied tremblingly: "Yes, it was made by Imperial Physician Li... Last time, Imperial Physician Li inspected the perfume when he saw the doctor, and the empress asked him to make a few bottles..."

Everyone's doubts were immediately resolved. It turned out that an imperial doctor imitated Ma Guan's perfume to make it.

Ma Guan couldn't help feeling that this imperial physician was also a talent, and she could imitate it. She thought there were other timetravelers in the palace.

"Dignified concubine, colluding with the imperial doctor, you are really unexpected." Kangxi smiled angrily, looked at the concubine with disappointment and said: "It seems that the three-month confinement last time still failed to make you repent. Six months of confinement. If you still don’t know how to repent after six months, you can stay in Chengqian Palace forever.”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." The imperial concubine fell to her knees with a plop, and she didn't have time to think about why she failed again, so she kowtowed and begged for mercy. "Your Majesty, this concubine is really wronged... At first, I only wanted to give Concubine An a few bottles of perfume because she saw how pitiful she was. How did I know that she would burn the Yongshou Palace with the perfume... I was really wronged... "

"The concubine is afraid of the emperor's wrath for the person who gave the perfume, that's why Qinghe lied. It's not intentional to frame the younger sister of the concubine... The emperor's lesson..."

The imperial concubine cried bitterly, she really felt wronged, she didn't know that Concubine An would do such insane things.

"Injustice? Why did you only give Concubine An's perfume and not give it to others? Even if you don't have the heart to set fire to the Yongshou Palace, you still hope that Concubine An will use other means to harm people, and then frame De Concubine afterwards. How dare you call for injustice?" Kangxi Had enough of her crying and begging for mercy every time she made a mistake and never repented afterwards.

Even if you can tolerate her once or twice, it is impossible to tolerate her again and again.

"The concubine... I know I was wrong..." The noble concubine sobbed: "The concubine shouldn't have framed the younger sister of the concubine, the concubine knew it was wrong..."

Kangxi waved his hand: "Since you know your mistakes, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. I know you have no intention of burning Yongshou Palace, otherwise you would never be so lenient!"

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." The imperial concubine wiped her tears, at this point, it was useless for her to beg for mercy.If the emperor is impatient, I'm afraid the punishment will be more severe.

With the support of the palace maid, she turned around step by step, and within a few steps, she suddenly trembled all over.

I heard Kangxi say: "Concubine An, you intentionally set fire to the Yongshou Palace in order to murder Concubine Niu, and you should be punished for your crime. I will give you a glass of poisoned wine without degrading your position because of my past affection. Liang Jiugong, Send her on her way."

"Hey." Liang Jiugong had already prepared the poisoned wine, and now only one eunuch brought it up.

Concubine An saw the glass of poisoned wine and smiled miserably: "Thank you, the emperor for retaining the status of concubine. I am satisfied that I can serve the emperor for more than ten years in this life. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to serve the emperor again in the next life. Your majesty, the minister I'm sorry for you..."

She picked up the glass of wine, raised her head and drank it down, her smile became more miserable.

At that moment, Ma Guan, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and others all tightly clenched their sleeves. This is not the first concubine to be given death, and I am afraid it will not be the last.

The emperor gave poisoned wine in front of them, just to let them all know what would happen if they repeatedly violated the palace rules.

"Pfft..." An Bin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her body was shaking, and finally fell to the ground.

"Ah..." The nobleman Hesheli screamed in fright, and buried his head in Ma Guan's arms.

The rest of the people also trembled slightly, just staring at An Bin's body in a daze, their faces turning pale.

Soon, Concubine An was dragged down. Such a concubine who was bestowed to death did not even have the qualifications to be buried in the imperial tomb.

Lamei, Qinghe and others were all fined into Xinzheku. This Changchun Palace was completely empty.

Ma Guan didn't know how she got back to Yonghe Palace, she just felt that she was very heavy, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and others were also silent, Hesheli even had a fever after returning and fell seriously ill.

In this conspiracy, no one won, but they all saw the cruelty of the harem.If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

"Scared?" A familiar voice sounded.

Ma Guan was startled, but when she looked up, she realized that the emperor had arrived at some time, and the maids and eunuchs had not informed her.

"I have seen the emperor."

"Pingshen, don't need to be too polite. I saw that you have no master, and I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you." Kangxi sat down with her arms, just facing Yinzuo's cradle.

Looking at the little guy with wide eyes, Kangxi couldn't help but smile.When he smiled, Yinzuo laughed too, it was really a father-son bond.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The concubine is not frightened, but I am a little moved..." It is not the first time Ma Yu saw a concubine being given to death. The last one who died was a respected concubine of Yonghe Palace, who died in the courtyard outside. .

Kangxi nodded slightly, sighed softly and said: "I would be sad if I gave them to death, but I have to do it. Even if I don't do it, the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager will not be indifferent, and even I will be punished at that time, no matter what. It's the pillow person who has been with me for more than ten years."

"The most sad one must be the emperor." Ma Guan grabbed his hand, his hand was well-articulated and very powerful.

As far as she is concerned, the emotion is the emotion, An Bin has always been an enemy, so she will not be sad.But Kangxi is different, he used to like Concubine An too.

Let alone a person, even a dog who has been by his side for more than ten years will develop feelings.How can you not feel sad when you order to kill yourself?

"You have comforted me." Kangxi laughed, and held her hand behind his back: "I don't need to be comforted. I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so I am not that fragile."

"Yes, Your Majesty is the most powerful." Ma Quan was speechless, this man was obviously suffering just now.

Kangxi teased Yinzuo, and said with a smile: "In two months, it will be four months, and we can take it out."

"Take it out?"

"I'll take you out to see the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty. I'm planning to go outside the Great Wall. I'm staying for a long time this time, so I want to take you with me to get some fresh air." Kangxi said while seeing Ma Guan's face. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, let's make an agreement and we are not allowed to go back on our word." How could Ma Yuan be unhappy?She has been in the palace for nearly six years, and she has only been out three times in total, and they all returned on the same day.

She could draw the scenery of the harem with her eyes closed, and she wanted to go out for a long time!

Unexpectedly, at this stall, the emperor personally proposed it, and also said that "the time to stay is relatively long".

She is not afraid of being long, but of being too short!

Fortunately, Yinzuo has already been born, and now she wished that Yinzhen and Yinzuo would grow up immediately, so that they could have fun.

"Your Majesty, when are you leaving? Do you want to ride a horse?" Ma Yuan was so excited that her heart was already flying out.

Don't look at her staying in the palace for a long time, fighting wits and courage with others all day long, in fact, she is only 21 years old!In future generations, even if you haven't graduated from university, it is the time when you are full of vigor.

Kangxi smiled: "It should be mid-June, and there are still two months left. During this time, you can make good preparations. This trip was proposed by the emperor's grandmother. In name, it is to escape the summer heat, but in fact it is hunting. Of course, you have to ride a horse. You Exercise more if you have nothing to do, otherwise don't blame me for not taking you hunting."

Ma Quan was so moved that she wanted to cry, and promised: "The concubine must exercise hard."

Happiness came so suddenly that Ma Guan instantly forgot the shadow of Changchun Palace, wishing to start exercising now.

"Choose a few more good sisters, and we will go together when the time comes, a little bit, elder brother's priority." Kangxi ordered again.

"The concubine knows about it." Ma Juan figured it out a bit, and the emperor also wanted to take this opportunity to open his brothers' horizons.

Of course, it is impossible to bring only one concubine with her on such an occasion, and she has never expected such a luxury.

On the second day, she went to Yanxi Palace, intending to discuss this matter with Concubine Hui.

When Concubine Hui heard about it, she almost stood up with joy, if Ma Yuan was lucky enough to go out of the palace two or three times, Concubine Hui never went out once, and she stayed in the palace much longer than Ma Yuan.

For a moment, Concubine Hui almost cried with joy, she just felt that life had meaning.

"Sister De Concubine, is what the emperor said true? I really... dare not even think..." Concubine Hui was so excited that she couldn't help herself. She was always serious and steady, but at this moment she looked like a girl who had never seen the world.

"Sister Hui, can I still lie to you? The emperor said that the elder brother has priority. This is to take the elder brothers out to broaden their horizons. You are the mother of the elder brother. If you can't go, who else can go?" Go?" Ma Guan could understand Concubine Hui's excitement, because she was still excited even now.

"It's really great. I've been in the palace for so many years, and I'm finally able to go out." Concubine Hui wiped away her happy tears and asked, "Then besides you and me, who else will go?"

"Concubine Rong should be fine. She is the third elder brother's mother-in-law, and Concubine Yi is the other one." Speaking of Concubine Yi, both of them felt a little uncomfortable, and Concubine Yi planned to harm them not long ago.

Ma Guan paused for a moment before continuing: "Although Fifth Elder Brother is being raised by the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yi is his mother-in-law after all. This trip, their mother and son can also be reunited."

"You are soft-hearted." Concubine Hui shook her head helplessly, if she had been cruel, she would have refused to let Concubine Yi go because Concubine Yi was still grounded.

Ma Juan smiled, she was either soft-hearted, or as a mother, she could understand the pain of separation between mother and child.

Even if she helped Yipin this time, she would not get along with her peacefully.Her mind is not big, and she will remember those who have hurt her all her life.

"In this way, there are four. Do you want to add Concubine Duan and Concubine Xi? These two are also old people who have entered the palace." Concubine Hui has a normal relationship with these two, but at least they have been together for more than ten years.

"You can ask their opinions first. Sister Duan Concubine may go, but Sister Xi Concubine is hard to say. Mrs. Dai Jia is about to give birth. I think she attaches great importance to this child."

"That's true...that Dai Jiashi is also unlucky. If she gave birth earlier and gave birth to an elder brother, then she would have a chance to go out."

Ma Ju couldn't help but laugh, who can tell?

Concubine Hui suddenly said: "But all of our concubines have left, who will take care of the harem? The imperial concubine and concubine Niu are both under confinement, and concubine Xi has to take care of Dai Jia, and the rest are the nobles, Changzai and promise gone."

Ma Guan frowned slightly: "That's true, maybe Sister Xi Concubine can take care of her. The two of us are gone, and the imperial concubine and Niu Concubine can't find anyone if they want to find something."

Concubine Hui chuckled, it was true.

So the two split up to tell Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong naturally happily agreed, but Concubine Yi was a little twitchy.

"Are you really so kind and willing to reunite our mother and son?" Yipin stared at Ma Quan in disbelief, probably feeling that Ma Quan was doing something wrong again.

Ma Guan said expressionlessly: "If you are willing to go, you mother and child can be reunited. If you are not willing, then I have nothing to do. If you think about it, send someone to tell me. I still have to go to Xianfu Palace."

She didn't bother to pay attention to the suspicious Yipin, fearing that she would regret it if she stayed for a moment longer.

Arriving at Xianfu Palace, after telling Xi Concubine about this matter, Xi Concubine was happy for a while and then hesitated.

"Sister Debi, how long will you be out this time?"

"The emperor didn't go into details. I guess it won't be less than a month. After all, with so many people, the journey will be very slow, and it will take a lot of time just on the road." In fact, Ma Quan guessed that it would take at least two months. , of course, the longer the better for her.

Xi Concubine bit her lower lip and said, "Then I won't go, Dai Jiashi will give birth in about three months, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back by then."

"But this opportunity is rare..."

"That's not as important as this child. Sister De Concubine, you should understand what I mean." Xi Concubine smiled lightly, revealing her purpose without any concealment.

"Sister understands." Ma Guan nodded, in fact, the last time Dai Jia's accident happened, she figured it out, Xi Concubine wanted to raise this child.

Concubine Xi has been in the palace for many years, but has not been able to conceive, and now that the number of honors and favors has decreased, there is no chance.So the best choice is to raise the child of a low-ranking concubine.

Dai Jiashi just agreed and lived with her in Xianfu Palace. It would be good for both parties if she came to raise her.

Ma Guan stopped persuading him.

As for the concubine Duan, who had nothing to worry about, she agreed happily, and in this way, five concubines went with her.

Kangxi was quite satisfied after Ma Guan entered the registration form. After all, there was nothing he particularly liked below the rank of concubine, and it didn't matter whether he brought it or not.

And after the news spread, the harem was boiling, and those who failed to go were all envious and jealous, especially the noble concubine and the concubine Niu, they were going crazy.

If they had known that the emperor would go out to escape the summer heat and go hunting, they would not mess around with anything. They just missed this great opportunity!

I don't know if it's because the two of them are grounded, or because the shock caused by An Bin's death is too great, but the harem for the next two months was extremely calm and there was no disturbance.

In addition to raising children, Ma Guan is doing physical exercise, and she also takes Huipin and others to exercise together. Huipin is used to being pampered, and at first she is so tired that she is dying, but after a few days, she can slowly persevere.

In the long-awaited, mid-June finally arrived, and Kangxi led a summer resort (hunting) team of thousands of people to go outside the Great Wall.

The author has something to say: Gong Dou is tired, let’s cultivate a relationship with the emperor before coming back
