"Your Majesty, it's really not the concubine who did it, you must trust the concubine!" Ma Jia was shocked when she heard Kangxi's question, and hurriedly explained.

"Your majesty, this concubine has served you for many years. Can you still not trust the concubine's character? The concubine regards Wu Changzai as her own sister, how could she do such a thing? The concubine gave it to me, but if the concubine wanted to harm my sister, how could she poison the ginseng she gave me? Please enlighten the emperor." As he spoke, he began to cry unconsciously. pity.

Looking at her like this, Kangxi also felt a little soft-hearted, after all, the relationship for many years is still there.His face softened a little, but Kangxi never saw concubines in the harem competing for favor, how can such a thing happen this time can be dismissed with a few words.

"Now that Wu Changzai is still awake, how can I win your trust based on your one-sided words? I will send someone to investigate this matter. If someone else intends to frame you, I will give you justice. If it is indeed related to you, But don't blame me for not remembering the old love. Before the matter is clarified, you can stay in your own palace."

Ma Jia kowtowed to thank her calmly and was supported by Xiuyu back to the palace.

In the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, Ma Jiashi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at his young and beautiful face in the bronze mirror, and muttered to himself: "Now he doesn't even believe me, he says the emperor is the most ruthless People think that they will be special, but it turns out that it is nothing more than that.”

"Niang Niang" Xiuyu looked at Ma Jiashi's appearance, and she couldn't bear to comfort her in a low voice. "My servant has been with the empress for many years, and I have never seen my empress so depressed today. The empress should have understood that this day will come naturally since she entered the palace. It's just that the empress still has His Highness Changsheng now, so please take care of yourself. This battle will definitely happen to the empress." is the biggest winner."

Ma Jiashi showed a bitter face, and smiled with difficulty: "Perhaps entering the palace was the biggest mistake in my life. I will still be sad for the emperor today, but I am afraid I won't in the future."

Ma Jia's love for Kangxi can be regarded as love, but how many people love each other in this world, and how many can grow old together.After entering this palace gate, one should not have such extravagant expectations. In just one thought, what is left may be a lifetime of misery.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that Xiuyu will not be able to serve my Majesty anymore. My Majesty will repay Xiuyu's kindness in the next life. Xiuyu entered the palace since she was a child, and she was able to survive because of her rescue. After Xiuyu left, she wished her well." Take care of yourself." Seeing Ma Jiashi like this, Xiuyu felt sad and fell to her knees.

"Xiuyu, I am sorry for you, Bengong..." Ma Jia was also sobbing, and the master and servant cried like this all night.

Kangxi waited until Yayue drank the antidote, his complexion improved a little, and then he told the imperial physician and court lady who was waiting next to him, and then he drove to Yikun Palace with confidence.

When he got to the gate of Yikun Palace, he saw that the lights inside were brightly lit. He probably knew that the emperor was coming.Niu Gulu saluted Kangxi and followed Kangxi into the main hall.Tuliu Guo Luoluo gritted his teeth watching from the side hall gate.

Kangxi went straight into the main hall, making it clear that he was looking for Niu Gulu's business.

"I ordered you to assist in the affairs of the Six Palaces. Now Wu Changzai in Zhongcui Palace has been poisoned by oleander, and the poison turned out to be wild ginseng sent by Ma Jiashi. What's your opinion on this?" Kangxi also asked. Don't talk nonsense, just open the door and ask Niu Gulu's dereliction of duty.

Niu Gulu didn't panic, he saluted Kangxi and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The concubine knows that she has neglected her duties, but the concubine thinks there is something wrong with this matter. The Ma Jia family and Wu Changzai are not at odds with each other on weekdays, and If it was really Ma Jia’s poisoning, he would not be so blatantly putting poison in the things he gave. I hope the emperor will make a decision after the courtiers and concubines find out everything, so as not to be unfair.”

In fact, Kangxi didn't want to embarrass Niu Gulushi, but now that she is in charge of the Sixth Palace, it is better for her to handle this matter.Although he is the emperor, he can't interfere too much in the matter of the harem, so now he ordered Niu Gulu to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Since everyone came to Yikun Palace, Kangxi couldn't leave immediately, so he decided to stay overnight in Yikun Palace tonight, with Mrs. Niu Gulu serving as his bedside.Watching the lights in the main hall go out, Guo Luoluo returned to his room unwillingly, twisting the handkerchief in his hand.

The next day, Mrs. Niu Gulu came to Zhongcui Palace, first visited Yayue, saw that Yayue had woken up, and told her the whole story.

In this incident, it appeared that Ma Jia had tampered with and poisoned the wild ginseng given to him, but there were still many doubts in it.

If Ma Jiashi did it, then it would be too crazy. If something happened to her, she would be the first to find out. How could she do such an unwise thing.

If it wasn't made by Ma Jia, then the only ones who can play tricks are Xiuyu who sent the things, Bi Xiao who took over the wild ginseng, and the little maid who cooked the wild ginseng.

Yayue glanced at Bi Xiao who was standing by and waited on her, and said softly to Niu Gulu, "Sister, although my sister has just entered the palace not long ago, this Bi Xiao is always by her side to serve her. He has a good character, and I would like to ask my sister to help take care of it."

If this matter was really related to Bi Xiao, Ya Yue's words would not be of much use, and what should be dealt with had to be dealt with.But if it had nothing to do with Bi Xiao, then these words sounded like defending Bi Xiao and buying people's hearts.

This matter had nothing to do with Bi Xiao in the first place, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful when he heard Ya Yue's words.Normally, she just did her duty to this master, but she didn't expect Ya Yue to trust her at the critical moment.

If Ya Yue had any doubts about her, then the Department of Punishment would inevitably go, and she would have to suffer some physical pain.But now that Ya Yue speaks for her, even if she is interrogated, she won't have to use those horrible punishments.I can't help feeling a little more sincere towards Ya Yue.

Niu Gulu looked at Bi Xiao, nodded at Ya Yue, and ordered Bi Xiao to be taken away.After all, Ma Jia is still a concubine, so it is naturally impossible to take her to the Department of Punishment for interrogation, and Niu Gulu can only interrogate her.Others were brought to the Department of Punishment for interrogation.

Two days later, Mrs. Niu Gulu sent everyone to Yikun Palace. Kangxi sat at the top, Mrs. Niu Gulu took the first place on the right, and the rest sat down in order according to their rank.After everyone paid their respects, Niu Gulu got up and said, "You must have heard that Wu Chang in Zhongcui Palace was poisoned two days ago. Everyone, they also found some clues."

After speaking, he quickly glanced at everyone's expressions from the corners of his eyes. Most of them had the attitude of watching a show. Only two of them looked a little uneasy.
