Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 199 Chang Zai's Promotion 29

Qianlong looked at Ji Huan, whose face was pale, and said distressedly: "My beloved concubine, don't worry, I will not let the person behind this go."

Ji Huan looked dependent: "I believe in Your Majesty."

In this way, Jihuan began to take care of her pregnancy. As for other things, she said she would leave it to Qianlong and would not ask about them at all.

Soon, it was discovered that a palace maid in Xianfu Palace had died of poisoning, and she happened to be the person involved in the case. Li Yu followed the maid to investigate, but found that the case became more and more complicated, and it seemed that she could be connected to anyone. For a while, Li Yu could not figure out the clues.

He reported this to Emperor Qianlong, whose first reaction was that it was done by a concubine of bondservant origin.

The purpose! Thinking of the vacant imperial concubine position became the reason.

But it’s hard to say who it is exactly.

He set his sights on Concubine Jia and Concubine Ling, and secretly, he thought it was Concubine Jia.

"Go check on Concubine Jia... and Concubine Ling, mainly Concubine Jia."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A palace maid died in Xianfu Palace, and Concubine Li fell ill due to fright. Jihuan immediately closed the palace for recuperation. Except for the imperial physician who came in regularly to see patients, few palace servants left the palace every day.

Her posture, looking frightened, made Qianlong feel pity for her.

On the other hand, with the reminder of Nanny Chen, Concubine Shu learned the role played by Concubine Jia in the incident. When Li Yu was investigating, she provided a lot of clues. Half a month later, Li Yu finally found out the result.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that the maid who put purslane juice in Concubine Rou's food was arranged by Concubine Jia. That maid has no relatives, but she has a childhood sweetheart. Concubine Jia has leverage over that lover. It took me a long time to find out."

Qianlong sighed: "I know you have been working hard during this period."

"It is my honor to share the emperor's worries. No matter how hard it is, it is what I deserve."

"You are a loyal person. I have given you the piece of mutton-fat jade from my private storehouse as a reward. Please don't let anyone know about this for now."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qianlong was not surprised by this result.

But Concubine Jia has three sons, so he can't just ignore it, especially when Jihuan is not really in trouble.

When he considers a problem, he never talks about fairness, but balance. If this matter gets out, how will the children of Concubine Jia and Jihuan get along in the future?

He needs to think these through carefully.

But it was impossible for him to let Concubine Jia go. All the evidence of previous events was gone, and he was not sure who was involved. Now it seemed that Concubine Jia was definitely involved.

Thinking of the aborted children and Empress Fucha's two legitimate sons, although Qianlong would not tell the truth, Concubine Jia would definitely not have a good fate.

This matter had been investigated for nearly a month, and Qianlong finally gave a result. He dealt with a group of problematic palace servants, and the one who took the blame was a restless nobleman of the previous emperor.

Ji Huan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the result.

Shuxiang thought she was angry. After all, they knew the truth, but the culprit, Concubine Jia, was fine. How could she not be angry? So she hurried to comfort Jihuan.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is protecting and favoring Concubine Jia. Would you like me to think of a way to teach Concubine Jia a lesson?"

Ji Huan raised an eyebrow and looked at Shu Xiang with a smile: "Do you think the emperor is protecting and favoring Concubine Jia?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. If our emperor had such thoughts about Concubine Jia, there would be no Concubine Shu in the first place, and Concubine Jia would have become Concubine Jia long ago."

"But I don't understand why the emperor doesn't reveal Concubine Jia's true identity?"

"Don't forget that Concubine Jia has three sons! The emperor probably wants the harem struggle to affect the prince. After all, the emperor may not be sincere to women, but he is a little sincere to his sons."

"You can't wrong your majesty like this!"

How unfair.

Ji Huan shook her head: "I am not wronged, just wait and see! Not punishing in public does not mean not punishing in secret. Concubine Jia's future is over! The emperor is holding back his anger. Our emperor is the kind of person who will make anyone uncomfortable if he makes me uncomfortable."

"So it's a good thing that this matter hasn't been exposed?"

"That's about right! And my position as the imperial concubine is halfway secured."

After what happened to Concubine Jia, Emperor Qianlong probably would not choose a bannerman as a noble concubine again. However, as a victim, Emperor Qianlong still felt a little sympathy for her.

As for the other half, it lies with Concubine Yu.

She felt that with Concubine Ling's methods, she might be able to suppress Concubine Yu. Even if she couldn't, she wanted to let Qianlong know that both Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling were restless.

She is set to secure another position as a royal concubine.

Afterwards, Ji Huan made some more arrangements, ensuring that Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu knew the truth that Concubine Jia had murdered her. The Emperor also knew about this, so there was no way that Concubine Jia would get the position of Imperial Concubine.

Then she continued to take care of the baby.

Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu did fight, because that was for the position of Imperial Concubine. Concubine Shu's child was fine, and she seemed to be in good health. If nothing unexpected happened, her position as Imperial Concubine was secure. If she couldn't get the last Imperial Concubine position, she didn't know how many years she would have to wait if she wanted to move up to the next level.

The two of them took turns singing and then taking the stage, it was very lively.

Concubine Yu was able to give birth to the Fifth Prince safely. Although she was not very favored, her methods were quite impressive.

The two were equally matched.

Qianlong was somewhat unhappy about this. Competing for favor was fine, but fighting was too much!

Qianlong immediately spread the word that the candidate for the imperial concubine would be decided next month. It was not known whether the news was true or not, but Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu both took it seriously.

The news coming out of the Yangxin Palace is always correct, and the two men are becoming more and more clever.

Since Concubine Ling was pregnant, Concubine Yu couldn't move freely.

A few days later, Qingyin came in.

"My lady, I just received news that Concubine Yu has been disfigured?"

Ji Huan frowned and had a bad idea: "How did you get disfigured?"

"Concubine Yu had many pimples on her face, which frightened the emperor."

Ji Huan was startled, knowing that this wave was not only aimed at Concubine Yu, but also at her. She was worthy of being the mother of the future emperor!

Then she began to brainstorm frantically.

"Qingyin, arrange Concubine Ling's pawns and have others pass the message to Concubine Ling's family, saying that the Queen is a Manchu military flag. It is impossible for both concubines to be Manchu military flags. In this way, the high positions in the harem will all be controlled by Manchu military flags. Then mislead Concubine Jia and Concubine Ling's people a little bit, and have people spread this matter in the harem. Go and do it quickly."

"Yes, ma'am."

After giving Qingyin instructions, Jihuan called Shuxiang over.

"Shuxiang, you should pay more attention to the rumors in the next two days. If anyone spreads the news that my stepmother has acne on her face, please stop it and make sure it doesn't spread within three days."

"Yes, ma'am."

Three days later, some rumors suddenly broke out in the palace. They all said that the high positions in the harem were all Manchu military flags. There was also a rumor that Jihuan had a bad relationship with her stepmother, which caused acne on her stepmother's face, resulting in her disfigurement. This was combined with the acne on Concubine Yu's face, which made it feel like a conspiracy theory. This rumor was very unfriendly to Jihuan, the only Manchu military flag concubine among the four concubines.

Ji Huan got the news “first time” and fainted immediately from anger.

Shuxiang went to the Imperial Hospital immediately, and Qingyin went to the Yangyangxin Palace.

So, the imperial physician and Qianlong came over one after another.

On the way, Qianlong already knew what had happened.

To be honest, this rumor broke out so suddenly that it sounds like a conspiracy.
