Chapter 489 No Poisoning
Chapter 489 No Poisoning
When Concubine Tong Jia saw that Liang Jiugong dared to treat her like this, her pretty face twisted with anger, and she turned away and went back to the house.
She thought that when her cousin came, she would definitely complain to him. This dog slave had clearly become a running dog of Zhongcui Palace.
And that bitch, Concubine Rong Ma Jia, don't think you can get your cousin's sympathy by pretending to be sick.
Now, my cousin was only deceived for a moment. When he went to Zhongcui Palace and saw Ma Jia's appearance, he knew that the other party was using a torture trick.
Then, the cousin will definitely think of his poor cousin who was tortured by illness and had all the imperial doctors taken away, so she had to fend for herself.
She must be weaker so that Ma Jia can appear more arrogant and domineering.
As a result, Concubine Tong Jia waited and waited, but not only did her cousin not come to seek justice for her, but she learned from Nanny Tong who had returned that her cousin was invited to Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Tong Jia continued stubbornly, "Oh, if the foxy girl wants to use the self-torture trick, she is doing it for my cousin to see. She must invite the person over."
At this moment, Concubine Tong Jia had completely forgotten that she was also pretending to be sick, and had just specifically instructed Nanny Tong to go to the Qianqing Palace to invite someone.
She despised Rong Fei for being so unpresentable, but she was doing the same thing.
"Master, what if something really happened to Concubine Rong?" Nanny Tong was a little worried.
Just now outside the Qianqing Palace, His Majesty's reaction couldn't be more obvious. If something really happened to Concubine Rong, then...
Concubine Tong Jia sneered, "Do you really think Ma Jia is really ill? How could it be such a coincidence that she started feeling unwell just as I called in the imperial physician?"
"But... didn't they say that Concubine Rong might be pregnant?"
"What does that have to do with me? I've only just entered the palace, how would I know this?
Besides, even if Ma Jia was really pregnant, it was because she was unlucky and could not protect the royal heir, or she did not care about the safety of the royal heir and used the child as a weapon.
My cousin is so wise and brave, how could he be deceived by such a small trick?"
Nanny Tong thought about it and it made sense. Concubine Rong was famous for her good health in the palace. There were countless people who envied her physique and wished they could have a body like hers.
Not only is her appearance the most beautiful in the harem, her figure is also charming and enchanting, and she is also in good health and very easy to conceive.
Who would believe that Concubine Rong suddenly fell ill, and was seriously ill? Either she was framed, or she staged it herself.
On the way back, although Xiao Anzi was worried about his master's condition, he suppressed his irritation and approached Liang Jiugong, whispering worriedly:
"Although it's for my master, but Brother Liang has really offended Concubine Tong Jia this time. Aren't you afraid..."
Liang Jiugong glanced at Xiao Anzi and said unhappily, "I've always known that you're cunning. Even if the master is in such a state, it won't stop you from being cunning."
Xiao Anzi smiled awkwardly and said, "You see? I'm just afraid that Concubine Tongjia will come back to pick on you, and you'll take your anger out on my master again."
"Don't worry, I'm just following orders and I'm not afraid of offending anyone."
Having said that, it actually depends on the person. If it were someone else, how could such a smooth-talking person like Liang Jiugong contradict the Tong family so rudely?
Others may not understand, but how could he, the eunuch who accompanied His Majesty every day, not understand? For the sake of Empress Dowager Cihe, even if His Majesty disliked the Tong family, he would protect them.
But who made it so that the Tong family had to go up against their ancestors whom they couldn't afford to offend?
Madam Rong is very important to His Majesty, and the pregnant Madam Rong is even more of a treasure. It would be fine if nothing happened this time.
If... I'm afraid that everyone in this palace will have a hard time.
Back to the present, the Empress Dowager and others were all shocked after hearing the wild words of Concubine Tong Jia.
The Empress Dowager was the first to react and immediately flew into a rage. She said:
"What a great Tong family, what a great Tong Jia clan, she is nothing yet she dares to be the master of the imperial heir?
Everyone in the palace has seen Rong Fei's character. She had just entered the palace, and a small concubine dared to slander the concubine's position. Who did she rely on for power?
A few days ago, because of pregnancy discomfort, Concubine Rong went to visit her a few more times out of pity from the Emperor. How could this have caught her eye and made her want to pin such a stigma on Concubine Rong?
Before Ai Jia and the Emperor could say anything, she couldn't help it. She just wanted to take the opportunity to seize someone else's offspring.
Such viciousness, Your Majesty, if such a person is granted a high position, will there be any chance for other concubines in the palace to survive in the future?"
All the masters and servants in the room knelt on the ground, except Kangxi and the Grand Empress Dowager. Now even the Empress Dowager knelt down. She had not seen the Empress Dowager so angry for a long time.
The Empress Dowager was indeed scolding Tong Jia, and implicitly tied Tong Jia's words and actions to the entire Tong family.
Under normal circumstances, even if Kangxi was dissatisfied with the words of the Empress Dowager, he would subconsciously protect the Tong family and Tong Jia.
But now, Kangxi's heart was filled with only surging anger.
"Tong Jia is indeed too presumptuous!"
It was not just these heart-piercing words, but also the fact that the imperial physician could not be invited to Zhongcui Palace and the little eunuch covered in blood when he was carried back, each of which struck Kangxi hard on the heart.
He suddenly thought of what Nara said in front of the Qianqing Palace. He was indeed too biased and even wanted to protect Tonggiya.
Although he was essentially protecting his mother, Ji Nai was still lying in there, his life or death unknown, and there was also the child...
Even though the imperial physician didn't say it explicitly, just looking at their reactions, Kangxi knew that the child might not be able to be saved.
Ji Nai loved children so much that he was willing to treat other people's children sincerely. If she woke up and found out that her child was gone, I wonder how sad she would be.
But Kangxi couldn't blame Ji Nai for not cherishing herself. What was wrong with her being so upset because of a few words from others?
She was just too worried about Cheng Rui and the others. Yes, it was because she cared too much about the children, not...
Then the one who is wrong can only be someone else, such as Tong Jia, or the damned woman in front of him.
"Liang Jiugong, drag him away and stop getting in my way."
As for who he was talking about, it was naturally Concubine Qian Jia, who had collapsed on the ground like mud.
None of the masters present, including the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Concubine Nianhulu and Concubine Hui, spoke up for her. Everyone knew that Qian Jia would not survive.
"Before coming to Zhongcui Palace, I went to Chengqian Palace and specifically asked Imperial Physician Zhao to examine her. There were no signs of poisoning, so Your Majesty can rest assured."
Although the Empress Dowager felt that her grandson should know whether Tong Jia was poisoned or not, she still couldn't help but tell him about Tong Jia's situation.
The Empress Dowager is a mother herself, and she understands the child's attachment to her, but isn't the Emperor going too far?
