The empress dowager wants to check one thing, but it is impossible to find out everything.Soon, it was found out who sprinkled osmanthus oil on the way to Yonghe Palace.

The one who sprinkled the osmanthus oil was a maid named Guier, a maid in the palace of Concubine Hui.

When Mother Jiang went to look for Gui'er, she found Gui'er in a well.

"In Concubine Hui's Palace?" The Empress Dowager was very surprised by the results of this investigation.

"As far as the Empress Dowager is concerned, Gui'er is indeed a maid of honor in Concubine Hui's palace."

The empress dowager frowned, her expression was very puzzled: "Concubine Hui? How could concubine Hui attack Wu Rentuya?" The empress dowager felt that this matter was full of doubts.

"Concubine Hui and Concubine Fujin haven't had any festivities, and Concubine Hui has never offended Concubine Hui. Besides, how could Concubine Hui know that Fujin is pregnant?" Mother Jiang also felt that there were too many doubts about this matter. It's a pity that Gui'er is already dead, and there is no proof of her death, so the investigation cannot go on.

The empress dowager frowned, thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the fourth son did something to annoy the boss, so that Concubine Hui attacked Wu Rentuya?" It's the fourth and the eldest who are involved.The fourth child has been helping the prince with work, and the boss is afraid that the boss is dissatisfied with the work that the fourth child is helping the prince, so Wu Rentuya made a move.

"Empress Dowager, what you said is very possible, but how did Concubine Hui know that Fang Fujin was pregnant?" The fact that Fujin was pregnant was obviously concealed by them, how did Concubine Hui know about it. "Could it be that someone in the Palace of Compassionate Ning revealed the fact that Fang Fujin was pregnant to Concubine Hui's palace?"

"It's also possible that the Tai Hospital leaked this matter."

"Empress Dowager, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

The empress dowager said thoughtfully: "The eldest brother has made a lot of contributions these years, and he has become more and more proud and arrogant, and he has become less and less concerned about the crown prince. Concubine Hui has become more and more arrogant because of her eldest son. In [-], look at how she swaggered in the palace."

"In the past few years, Concubine Hui has indeed been a little..." Jiang Nanny, as a slave, cannot blame her master, so this sentence is not complete.

"I never interfere in the affairs of the harem, but this time Concubine Hui wants to deal with Wu Rentuya, so I can't ignore it." The Empress Dowager said with a cold face, "After the New Year, let Concubine Hui Pray for me in the Buddhist hall, and let her copy Buddhist scriptures for me." Let Concubine Hui kneel in the Buddhist hall for a month.

"Empress Dowager, do you want to tell Lord Belle about this?"

The empress dowager nodded slightly: "Of course I want to tell the fourth child, after all, Wu Rentuya is his side Fujin, and she is pregnant with his child."

"Then do you want to tell Fang Fujin about this?"

"Tell her, let her stay away from Concubine Hui's people in the future, and be vigilant against Concubine Hui's people."

"Empress Dowager, now Elder Brother and Concubine Hui's people are attacking Fujin, this palace is no longer safe, do you want to keep Fujin in the Palace of Compassion?"

The Empress Dowager was stunned when Jiang Nanny asked this question, and she was silent for a while before she spoke: "It's not safe in Lao Si's residence, besides in the palace, the boss and Concubine Hui will restrain themselves a little bit."

"The empress dowager said so."

"Go and investigate who leaked Wu Rentuya's pregnancy."

"Yes."

After Mingxi woke up, she learned that it was Gui Er, a man named Guier from Concubine Hui's palace who sprinkled the osmanthus oil, and was very shocked: "People from Concubine Hui's palace?" How could it be someone from Concubine Hui's palace?She didn't have any relationship with Concubine Hui, and she didn't seem to offend Concubine Hui, why did Concubine Hui want to harm her?

Nanny Jiang told Ming Xi about her and the Empress Dowager's conjectures.

After Mingxi finished listening, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "It's possible to listen to Mammy's words." It's normal for eldest elder brother to be dissatisfied with fourth master and let concubine Hui attack her.

"Cian Fujin, don't worry, the Empress Dowager will handle this matter." Mother Jiang comforted, "You don't have to worry."

"But Gui'er is dead, and there is no proof of death, so it's not easy for the imperial grandmother to punish Concubine Hui?"

"Cian Fujin, the Empress Dowager has her own methods." If you want to punish a person, there are plenty of methods, and you don't have to have enough evidence to punish a person.

"The imperial grandmother never interferes with the affairs of the harem. If the imperial grandmother punishes Concubine Hui for my affairs, will it be..." She didn't want the imperial grandmother to be involved in the disputes in the harem because of her affairs and disturb her. The tranquility of the imperial grandmother.

Mother Jiang knew what Ming Xi was worried about, and comforted her softly: "Cian Fujin, the Empress Dowager loves you very much, and attaches great importance to the child in your womb. You almost had an accident this time, and the Empress Dowager is very angry."

"Let the imperial grandmother worry."

"Cian Fujin, this matter is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself."

"I see."

Mother Jiang gave a few more words of advice before leaving.

After Jiang Nanny left, Ming Xi asked Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, do you think this thing was really done by Concubine Hui?"

"Cian Fujin, Mother Jiang's investigation results should not be wrong."

Ming Xi frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Seeing Ming Xi's thoughtful look, Aunt Zhou asked suspiciously: "Cian Fujin, do you think it wasn't Concubine Hui who did it?"

Ming Xi shook her head lightly, and said with a thoughtful expression: "No, I just feel that there is something wrong with this matter."

"It's not right, what's wrong?"

"If elder brother is really dissatisfied with fourth master, he should think of a way to deal with fourth master instead of asking Concubine Hui to deal with me, a little side Fujin?"

"It's also possible that Concubine Hui made the decision to attack you." Aunt Zhou speculated, "Besides, you are deeply loved by the empress dowager, so it is not surprising that Concubine Hui has shot you."

Mingxi heard what Aunt Zhou said, and felt that it made sense.

"Cian Fujin, this matter should not be wrong."

Ming Xi nodded: "Yes."

Aunt Zhou suddenly thought of something, and her expression became serious: "Ci Fujin, if Concubine Hui wants to target you, you will be in danger in the palace." The methods in the harem are not only full of tricks, but also very vicious. It's hard to guard against, Aunt Zhou is really afraid that something will happen to Mingxi in the palace.

"Old slave, I still think it's better for you to go home."

Ming Xi shook her head: "If you don't go back to the mansion now, the mansion will not be safer than the palace."

"But……"

Ming Xi raised her hand to interrupt Aunt Zhou's words: "If I propose to return to the imperial grandmother now, doesn't it mean that I can't trust the imperial grandmother and think it is dangerous to stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace, wouldn't it hurt the imperial grandmother's heart. "

Aunt Zhou knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's the old slave who didn't think carefully." What Chou Fujin said was that it was not appropriate to propose to return to the mansion at this time.

"Mother Jiang said that the imperial grandmother will take care of this matter, so we don't have to worry about it."

The next day, when Concubine Hui and the other concubines came to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager severely reprimanded Concubine Hui in front of many people, embarrassing Concubine Hui.

The other concubines watched Concubine Hui being scolded bloody by the empress dowager as if they were watching a play. In recent years, Concubine Hui has been valued by Kangxi because of her elder brother, and she has become more and more arrogant, not paying attention to them In the past, they had long disliked Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui was filled with anger, confusion, and humiliation. She had always respected the empress dowager, but she didn't understand why the empress dowager suddenly attacked her, and it was still during the Chinese New Year.

Eldest Brother received the news that Concubine Hui was being taught by the Empress Dowager, and he was also very confused. The imperial grandmother never asked about matters in the harem, so how could she suddenly be dissatisfied with her?

No matter what, the emperor's grandmother was dissatisfied with Er Niang, this is not a small matter.Don't look at the fact that the emperor's grandmother does not interfere with the affairs of the harem, she has no power, but she is deeply respected by Huang Ama.If Erniang angered the emperor's grandmother, she would naturally anger Huang Ama, and Huang Ama would also be somewhat dissatisfied with his son.

Eldest brother decided to come to the Compassion Palace to plead guilty after the luncheon was over, to make amends for his mother.

On the other hand, when Fourth Master went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects early in the morning, he was also very surprised to learn the truth about Ming Xi's fall from Mother Jiang.He didn't have any conflicts with his eldest brother during this time, and besides, his eldest brother has been trying to win him over, how could he attack him?

"Master, what's the matter with you, do you think something is wrong with this?"

Fourth Master nodded slightly: "Well, there are too many doubts about this matter."

"Master, do you think Concubine Hui didn't do it?"

"Brother and I don't have any serious problems." This incident is a bit weird, and there may be someone else behind the scenes.

"what?"

"Big brother always hoped that I could help him, how could he attack me?"

Hearing what Fourth Master said, Mingxi felt that the thing that she fell down should not be caused by Concubine Hui.

"Master, if it wasn't made by Concubine Hui, then who do you think did it?"

"I'll investigate this matter, you don't have to worry."

Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Yes." Suddenly, it occurred to the emperor's grandmother that the concubine Hui did it, "Master, do you want to tell the emperor's grandmother?"

"Need not."

"However, after the new year, the imperial grandmother will punish Concubine Hui..."

"In the past few years, Concubine Hui has been reused by Huang Ama because of her eldest brother, and she is showing off her power in the harem. She doesn't take other people seriously, and let the emperor's grandmother punish her. She can kill her prestige."

"Okay." It seems that Concubine Hui is quite annoying.Being reprimanded by the imperial grandmother this morning, everyone is gloating.

"This matter, the emperor's grandmother misunderstood it." The emperor's grandmother was dissatisfied with the concubine Hui, and it would make Huang Ama angry and dissatisfied with the elder brother, which was very beneficial to him.

Ming Xi always felt that Fourth Master was planning something, but she wasn't interested and didn't bother to be curious.It's better for her to be a silly white sweet.

"You can't stay in the palace anymore." Fourth Master frowned tightly, with a worried expression on his face, "You will be in danger if you stay in the palace." Without finding the real mastermind, Xi'er would be in danger if she stayed in the palace. The mastermind behind the scenes will attack Xi'er again.

"But...leaving the palace now will break the heart of the imperial grandmother."

"In a few days, I will tell the imperial grandmother to let the imperial grandmother take you to live in the garden for a while."

"What garden?"

"Changchun Garden."

"Isn't this Huang Ama's garden?"

The fourth master nodded slightly: "It's Huang Ama's garden, but the emperor's grandmother can also live there. Every year, Huang Ama will take the emperor's grandmother to live in Changchun Garden for a period of time."

"It's good to live in the garden, but do you think the garden is safer than the palace?" As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Fourth Master was slightly startled by Ming Xi's question, indeed, the garden is not necessarily safer than the palace.

"I think the Compassionate Ning Palace is still safe." As long as she doesn't leave the Compassionate Ning Palace, nothing will happen.

Fourth Master thought about it seriously, and finally nodded: "You're right, the Palace of Compassion and Peace is safer." The mastermind behind Xi'er's fall must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise Xi'er will always be in danger. "The imperial grandmother told you to take a good rest, then you should obediently stay in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and don't go anywhere."

"Master, don't worry, I will stay in the Palace of Compassion and Ning and not go anywhere." Well, she originally thought that only people in Lord Baylor's mansion would want her to have a miscarriage, but she didn't expect that there were also people in the palace who didn't want her to have a miscarriage. She is pregnant.

Is she so envious when she is pregnant?

Fourth Master gave a few more instructions before leaving the Compassion Palace.However, when he was leaving, fourth master called aunt Zhou out and gave some orders.

~~

The entire Forbidden City was lively and festive for many days, and it was quiet after the Lantern Festival.

Ming Xi spent two days running around on New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year's Day, and spent the rest of her time in the Compassionate Ning Palace. On the surface, she was serving the Empress Dowager, but in fact she was resting well.

During this period of time, she stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace to recuperate and did not go anywhere, so no accidents happened again.

However, during this period of time, the maids and eunuchs of the Compassionate Ning Palace changed a batch.

The empress dowager ordered that Mingxi's pregnancy should not be spread outside the public, but someone in the Compassionate Ning Palace still leaked the matter.

After finding out who leaked it, the empress dowager was furious and drove away a group of court ladies and eunuchs.

Because of this incident, the servants in the Compassionate Ning Palace became more obedient, and no one dared to betray the Compassionate Ning Palace.Therefore, the Compassion Palace became very safe.

After more than ten days of undercover investigation, Fourth Master finally found out who attacked Mingxi.

"It's actually him!"

"It was he who sent people to attack Fujin."

"Is it the crown prince's instruction, or is he arbitrarily making a claim?"

"The crown prince didn't know about this matter, he made the decision without authorization."

"Why did that old guy attack Xi'er?" Fourth Master looked puzzled.

Fourth Master's retainer said: "It should be because he is afraid that Fujin will give birth to a pair of twins for you."

"Dragon twins?"

"Lord Belle, twins are an auspicious sign. What do you think will happen if you have a pair of twins but His Royal Highness doesn't?"

"The common people will think that I, Lord Baylor, are more blessed than the prince." The fourth master instantly understood what the disciples meant.

"That's why that lord made an attack on Fang Fujin, in order to prevent Fang Fujin from giving birth to twins for you."

"That old guy is really thoughtful. I'm not even sure if Xi'er can give me twins." Fourth Master said with a cold expression.

"That adult has always been like this."

"I'm still working for the prince on the surface. That old guy is not afraid that I will stop doing things for the prince after I find out."

"That adult should think that Lord Baylor, you can't find out about him."

Fourth master raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "I'm really underestimated."

"Lord Belle, what are you going to do about this matter?"

Fourth Master stood up, walked to the window, looked towards the direction of the Forbidden City with his eyes, and said with a cold expression, "Of course I won't let that old guy go."

Hearing what Fourth Master said, the doorman frowned slightly, and said with a disapproving expression: "Master Baylor, with our current strength, we cannot compete with that lord."

Fourth Master turned around and looked at the door, and said with a half-smile: "Of course I know this. I didn't want to fight that old guy hard. Only Mingzhu can fight that old guy."

The doorman immediately understood what fourth master meant: "Master Baylor wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

"Well, on the one hand, we don't have the strength to be the best match with that old guy. On the other hand, I'm still working for the prince on the surface, so it's not easy to deal with that old guy directly."

"What Baylor said is that it is most appropriate for Lord Mingzhu to deal with that adult."

"Tell Mingzhu what that old guy has done recently."

"Yes, Lord Belle!"

Fourth master narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were icy cold, that old guy has been too relaxed and comfortable recently, he dared to attack Xi'er!

Within two days, it was heard that Kangxi was furious and severely reprimanded Suo'etu in the court hall, and also demoted the official positions of some people in Suo'etu, which made some people in the Communist Party feel uneasy.

Although Kangxi scolded Suo'etu bloodyly, he didn't blame the crown prince, which made the elder brother's party a little dissatisfied.

"Now that old guy Suo'etu will be honest for a while."

"Unfortunately, the crown prince is fine." The doorman's tone was full of regret.

"Huang Ama has always loved the crown prince, how could she anger the crown prince because of Suo'etu's incident."

"Now how much Long Live Lord loves the Crown Prince, the future Long Live Lord will be more afraid of the Crown Prince." The doorman personally poured a cup of tea for Fourth Master, "Master Baylor, when the Long Live Lord is not on guard against the Crown Prince, We can just increase our strength."

"I know." The fourth master suddenly thought that the eighth elder brother had shown his favor frequently during this period, which made him very puzzled.

"Lord Belle, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about my eighth brother." The fourth master told the disciples about the eighth elder brother's goodwill towards him during this time, "Sir, what do you think the eighth brother means, does he really want to join me, or does he have other plans? "

Mr. Menke thought about it seriously, and speculated: "The eighth elder brother has performed very well in the court in the past two years, and the Lord Long Live also values ​​him. If this continues, the eighth elder brother should do something in the future. There is no need I rely on you."

"The eighth brother has grown up very quickly in the past two years." The fourth master has only seen the actions of the younger brother, the eighth elder brother, and is a younger brother that should not be underestimated.

"Now when everyone mentions the eighth elder brother, they will say that they are gentle and gentle." The eighth elder brother has always had a gentle image, with a gentle smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. I like to deal with eight princes.

"Old Ba is sometimes too gentle." The fourth master didn't think that Brother Ba was right to be gentle, he thought that Brother Ba was sometimes too gentle and careful.

"Lord Baylor, the eighth elder brother is capable. Don't reject him yet, you can test him." If the eighth elder brother really wants to join Lord Baylor, it is a good thing for the elder brother, after all, the eighth elder brother Brother is pretty good.If the eighth elder brother has other plans, we can cooperate, but we can't make a deep friendship.

The fourth master also had the same intention, first test the eighth elder brother to see what his purpose is.

After seeing off the diners, Su Peisheng saw Mother Zhao coming to the front yard, begging to see Fourth Master.

"Mother Zhao, wait for a while, I will report to the master right away."

Zhao Nanny said politely: "Please, Eunuch Su."

"You're being polite, Mammy." Su Peisheng walked in, "Master, Mammy Zhao is asking to see you at the door."

"Why is she here?"

"It should be for Fujin."

Fourth Master said expressionlessly, "Let her in."

"Yes."

Soon, Su Peisheng walked in with Mother Zhao.

"This old slave has met Lord Baylor, Lord Baylor is auspicious!"

"Get up."

"Master Xie Belle!" Mother Zhao stood up and said respectfully, "Master Belle, Fujin wants to see you!"

"What's the matter with her?"

"Fu Jin said that she has reflected on herself deeply, and hopes to see you." Fujin was imprisoned for a period of time, and fell ill again. She would be a fool if she didn't bow her head to Fourth Master.

Hearing this, Fourth Master raised his brows slightly, and said indifferently, "Got it."

Zhao Nanny wanted to say something nice for Fujin, but seeing Fourth Master's cold face, she was too frightened to say anything more.

"Master Baylor, this old slave is leaving!"

Su Peisheng sent Mother Zhao to the door: "Mom, go slowly."

"Eunuch Su, Lord Belle to Fujin..." During the Chinese New Year period, Lord Belle did not visit Fujin, which completely chilled Fujin.After all, Lord Belle and Fujin have been married for many years, Lord Belle doesn't care about the relationship between husband and wife at all.

Su Peisheng knew what Nanny Zhao was going to say, so he smiled at her and said, "Mommy, how could I know what Master Zhao is thinking."

Nanny Zhao knew what kind of temperament Su Peisheng was, and trying to get words out of Su Peisheng's mouth was as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Eunuch Su, I'm leaving first."

"Mommy walk slowly."

Zhao Nanny returned to the main courtyard and told Fujin about Si Ye's reaction.

"Fu Jin, Lord Belle..." Zhao Mama wanted to say how Lord Belle could be so ruthless.

The corner of Fujin's mouth raised a sad smile: "It's fine if you don't come."

"But……"

"Mommy, don't talk anymore." Fujin originally thought that he would have no expectations, but he still couldn't help but hope that the fourth master would come to see her, but unfortunately the fourth master never did.During the Chinese New Year, she was seriously ill in bed, not only did fourth master not come to visit her, he didn't even send someone to ask her a few words of concern.

"Fu Jin..." Zhao Mama felt so sorry for Fujin that she was on the verge of crying.

"Forget it, wait a while." She had to go out early, otherwise she would never see her elder brother.

"Yes, Fujin."

Just when Fujin thought that the fourth master would not come, the fourth master appeared in the main courtyard in the evening.

Seeing Fourth Master coming, Fujin's eyes widened in shock, he was stunned for a while before he realized, and quickly saluted Fourth Master.

"The concubine has met Lord Baylor, Lord Baylor is auspicious!"

"Get up."

"Master Xie Belle!"

Fourth master looked at Fujin, his face was still pale, and his expression became a lot haggard.

"Why did you see me?"

"Chenqie..." Fujin felt very unwilling, but had to bow her head, "Chenqie has thought a lot during this time, Chenqie..." Fujin wanted to bow her head to admit her mistake, but her self-esteem prevented her from opening her mouth.

Fourth Master didn't speak, and looked at Fujin expressionlessly.

Thinking of Eldest Brother, Fujin bit his lips and said: "The concubine shouldn't be angry with Geng Ge...the concubine knows his mistake..."

[The concubine knows his mistakes], these four words, Fujin seems to have exhausted all his strength to say them.
