The elder brother Chengrui died of smallpox fever more than ten days later.

Concubine Ma Jiashu cried to death, and her weak body passed out directly because she couldn't bear such a big blow.

Even though Kangxi had made the worst preparations, he did not expect the bad news to come so quickly.

He felt sorry for Concubine Ma Jiashu who had lost his eldest son, and specifically mentioned the role of Concubine Ma Jiashu as a concubine, and asked her to move from the back hall to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace.

There is no doubt that once the concubine and concubine are conferred in the palace, the Ma Jia family will become the lord of the palace!

If this news was normal, it would definitely be subject to huge waves, but now no one cares about this matter, including the ministers in the court, everyone's eyes are on Cheng Hu, who was born by the queen.

Now the only healthy elder brother of the emperor is Cheng Hu!

Even if the emperor believed in the empress again, he could not help becoming suspicious again at this moment, and simply took the palace power out of her hands. Handed over to the Empress Dowager for management!

And after taking it away, only a few days later, the queen also said that she couldn't afford it.

Kangxi fell into complete silence when he heard the news in Qianqing Palace.

Liang Jiugong tremblingly stood beside Kangxi with his head lowered. The low pressure on Kangxi's body made him dare not even speak. Climbed out of the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body!"

Kangxi waved his hand.

"Kaiyang!"

A figure jumped down from the beam and knelt down in front of Kangxi.

"How are things going?"

Kai Yang's face is very ordinary, he belongs to the unremarkable type who blends in with the crowd, he lowered his head and seriously replied:

"The slave has found out that the only person who has been inappropriate in the family these days is the husband of the grandmother Zeng who is next to the elder brother. The slave has detained his family and found dozens of taels of gold and unmarked gold and silver in his home. Some jewelry."

"Only one?"

Were there two nurses who were dragged out at that time?

"Yes, after careful investigation, Zeng's husband lost a large sum of money in the casino and was knocked at the door because he owed a debt. According to him, it was a young master from Hesheli who asked him to hand over a purse to his grandma. Mammy sewed it into the lining of her shirt to take care of Eldest Brother."

After a pause, Kai Yang went on to say: "But our people found the young master he mentioned. He was killed by a cow led by a farmer entering the city on the road half a month ago. The farmer has been sentenced and now already dead."

Kai Yang frowned: "As for the other nanny Qi who was captured, her family has neither much money nor accidents!

Not only that, but her husband didn't believe that Mrs. Qi did something wrong, so he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several days to find an explanation, and was tied up by the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday and sent to the official directly! "

"Oh? According to this, this nanny Qi is still being framed?"

"The servants have followed the man's tracks carefully for the past few days and found that..."

Kai Yang opened his mouth to speak, his expression full of embarrassment.

"Say!"

"It was discovered that this person's nanny was sneaking in with others, and the person we followed up with the joint entered Lord Suo'etu's house!"

Kangxi tapped his fingers on the imperial case, and looked at Kaiyang with a half-smile: "That is to say—the two of them have something to do with the Hesheli family in the end?"

"Yes!"

Kai Yang gave a wry smile, he didn't believe this conclusion either, but the group of them investigated it several times and found this conclusion.

But now, if you want to break this situation, the best way is to grab this person who is connected!

"Who is this person?"

"This person's name is Zhou Deye, and he's a steward of the Hesheli family. Nanny Zhou next to the queen is his own sister!"

Liang Jiugong's heart trembled, and he buried his head deeply.

"Okay, that's great."

Liang Jiugong was thinking that Kangxi would be furious, so it can be seen that after he sneered, he actually became amiable.

"Liang Jiugong! Am I a fool?"

"Slave dare not! Slave deserves to die!"

Liang Jiugong's knees softened and he knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Kangxi did not respond at all, and the entire Qianqing Palace was extremely quiet, only the sound of him beating the imperial case and Liang Jiugong kowtowing. After a long time, Liang Jiugong only felt that his knees were numb, his head was broken, and the sweat on his back It slipped and fell so that the body felt cold.

He secretly groaned.

Kai Yang landed on one knee, silently staring at the ground.

"Get up! Of course I know you dare not, but these people—!" Kangxi chuckled as he swept the memorial on the table, "Tell the queen, I will go to see her tonight!"

"Your Majesty..." Liang Jiugong asked in a low voice as soon as he got up, "Isn't this about going to Zhongcui Palace?"

"It's improper to take care of the dragon's heir... Let her reflect on herself in the palace!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

Zhongcui Palace.

"Queen—Queen!"

Concubine Ma Jiashu was stunned after receiving the imperial edict, full of doubts about what she heard, especially when she heard that the emperor not only did not come to her tonight, but went to the 'murderer', she was completely dumbfounded .

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, he dragged his heavy steps into the palace, Concubine Ma Jiashu could no longer restrain her emotions.

"She killed my two children, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You don't know people clearly!"

"Little Master!"

Chunlan's face turned pale with fright, she repeatedly directed the maids to close the front and rear gates of the main hall and dragged Concubine Ma Jiashu into the bedroom.

"My lord! Do you know that this place is still in the mansion? Whoever stabs the emperor will kill you! Now you are not the only one living in the Zhongcui Palace. I heard this and told the empress, what can you do, my lord?"

"Let them sue!" Concubine Ma Jiashu sat on the side of the bed sobbing, "My son, my Chengrui! Why did you live so hard to block the way of the queen's child... Er Niang must Revenge for you! The queen wants my heart! I want her heart to pay for my life!!"

"My lord!!"

Chunlan's complexion changed wildly and she rushed forward to cover Concubine Ma Jiashu's mouth, "Are you dying?"

"What's the use of dying? In the heart of the emperor, I can't even compare to the queen's finger..."

"Master! The days ahead are still long, only with pets can you give birth to other children!"

Chunlan held Concubine Ma Jia and begged bitterly, "Furthermore, big brother's revenge... We can only take revenge if we endure it!"

"……Yep!"

Concubine Ma Jiashu sat on the chair in a daze, her crying and laughing expression distorted her whole face, which made people feel shocked.

"Doesn't the emperor like to watch the concubines in the harem love each other... I will show the emperor to see it!

Chun Lan, ask someone to come in and clean up this little master. I'm going to see Piandian to see sister Dong! "

"Yes!"

After Concubine Ma Jia was dressed properly, she let Chunlan help her slowly step out of the threshold and walked to the Dongpian Hall where Concubine Dong Shu lived.

The east side hall is extremely quiet.

Concubine Dong Shu's maids didn't dare to breathe, they came in and out lightly.

The palace people who were supposed to be all smiles because of Concubine Dong Shu's happy event were now a little worried.

Concubine Dong Shu is a very strong person, but her temperament has suddenly changed 180 degrees since she was pregnant. Either today she said that there were wild cats screaming outside and disturbed her sleep, or tomorrow she was worried that the new furniture sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was poisonous, yelling that someone To murder her!

Tossing and tossing these days can exhaust all the palace people in the side hall of Zhongcui Palace!

"The servant kowtowed to concubine Ma Jia, the young master is auspicious!"

The eyes of the little eunuch, who was listlessly sweeping the floor at the entrance of the side hall, immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed.

"...where are you young masters?"

Concubine Ma Jiashu frowned, the palace people in her place were well-behaved and honest, how could they be so idle, and immediately looked down at Concubine Dong Shu.

"Master Ma Jia, Master Dong is still resting in the bedroom."

"Rest?" Concubine Ma Jia raised her head and looked at the sky. It is now the beginning of June, and the capital is already sweltering with heat. Just as she was about to ask why she hid in the palace in such a fine weather, she saw a beautiful little maid hurriedly approaching. Kowtow to greet you.

"Concubine Ma Jiashu, my lord, please come in and have a seat."

She looked at Concubine Ma Jiashu with a little fear and eagerness in her eyes.

Chunlan's heart skipped a beat, many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she stood in front of the little maid with a defensive face.

The little palace maid was stunned: "The servant girl is the young master's big palace maid Lu Zhu, it is really the young master who invited Concubine Ma Jiashu in to discuss something!"

Concubine Ma Jiashu was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just pulled La Chunlan and nodded.

Following the green bamboo into the bedroom, the moment she saw Concubine Dong Shu, Concubine Ma Jiashu was dumbfounded.

Concubine Dong Shu was so thin, her face was as pale as paper, her round face had long since disappeared, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were closed and her brows were tightly frowned, she looked very restless in her sleep.

"This! This! Why don't you call yourself a doctor!!"

Concubine Ma Jiashu almost fainted from fright. It was only 20 days since Concubine Dong Shu was found out that she was pregnant. How could she become like this!

"What's wrong with sister Dong! Why is she so thin?" Concubine Ma Jiashu asked repeatedly.

Lu Zhu knelt down again, and she kowtowed tearfully to concubine Ma Jia: "Master Ma Jia doesn't know, she has been hiding in her bedroom for more than ten days and dare not go out, throwing up whatever she eats, and won't let us call the imperial doctor !"

"It's because my lord won't let you invite me, so you won't invite me!" Concubine Ma Jiashu was furious, "Chun Lan, go get someone to call the imperial physician!"

"Sister! Sister Ma Jia! No, don't ask the imperial physician!"

Concubine Dong Shu, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes and turned her head towards Concubine Ma Jiashu to call out. There was a flash of surprise and fear in her eyes, and she fell off the bed regardless of her own body.

"Little Master!"

The green bamboo jumped up and placed it under Concubine Dong Shu's body.

Concubine Ma Jiashu almost fainted from fright!

She took two steps back and left Concubine Dong Shu far away, ready to flee through the door, feeling regret after burst of regret in her heart!
