Emperor Wei Chang picked up a jade bead flower in the jewelry box. He squinted his eyes and said to the eunuch beside him, "Fuquan, go and call all the harem ladies to come over."
"Yes." Fu Quan saw the stormy look on His Majesty's face and did not dare to say anything. He gave a deep sigh and walked out.
Kang Yanning found it very interesting. In the past, he always played tricks with the noble ladies outside the palace, but today he was able to take a fancy to the skills of these ladies in the harem, which was quite rewarding.
Only then did Emperor Wei Chang have time to raise his head and look around, and seemed to realize that Kang Yanning was also there. He lowered his voice and said, "Girl Yanning is here too."
Xu Jieyu was afraid that the Holy One would blame her, so she quickly spoke out to excuse her, "Your Majesty, I heard that the second princess was not feeling well, so I panicked. I asked the princess to come and take a look at it for me."
Emperor Wei Chang nodded and did not mean to blame her. Instead, he picked up the jewelry box and asked, "Did you find this?"
When Xu Jieyu saw that Emperor Wei Chang was not talking coldly to Kang Yanning, she knew that Emperor Wei Chang was still satisfied with Kang Yanning, so she said no more.
Kang Yanning stepped forward and bowed, "Reply to the Holy Spirit." Yanning found that the sinful woman was acting in a panic, and when she asked about the matter, her words were inconsistent, so she felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, something was wrong in the medicine pillow she embroidered. But Yan Ning felt strange that the second princess's nanny must have been carefully selected, and there should not be such a big flaw.
Moreover, if you really want to harm the second princess, there should be many ways to do it from childhood to adulthood, and there are many more appropriate and easier ones. The nanny wanted to be put in at this time of year, so I guessed that it was most likely that she had been bribed recently.
. Then there must be corresponding things."
"Sister, what's going on?" The current beloved concubine, Concubine Yi, the sixth prince's mother, was close and arrived first.
Seeing that the two princesses' bedroom was in a mess, and the emperor was sitting at his head, Xu Jieyu was weeping silently, secretly saying that she was afraid that something would happen again.
Emperor Wei Chang glanced at her, "Don't worry, let's talk together when everyone is here."
Since she can be a beloved concubine, she must be discerning. Concubine Yi immediately agreed and said no more. Instead, she silently looked at the situation in front of her, and then looked at Kang Yanning, showing a big smile.
Kang Yanning smiled back and formed a good relationship.
After a while, all the concubines arrived.
Emperor Wei Chang didn't want to wait any longer. He lowered his face, picked up the jewelry box beside him and threw it down. "Come and identify whose jewelry these are."
None of the concubines knew what was going on, but with this formation, it was obvious that something big had happened.
The nurse of the second princess was leaning to the side again with a pale face. I'm afraid this time it was related to the emperor's heir.
The jewelry box was thrown down, and Yi Fei was the first to see a green jade hairpin of hers. She was stunned and stepped forward to pick it up.
"Your Majesty, this hairpin seems to belong to me. But... this hairpin was lost a few days ago, and I have been looking for it for a few days."
She shook her current jade hairpin and said to the maid next to her, "Come and see if it's this one. Could it be that I'm dazzled?"
The eldest maid next to her took it and carefully identified it, "My dear, this is the one you threw away."
Concubine Yi looked up and asked calmly, "Your Majesty, this hairpin belongs to my concubine, why is it here?"
When Emperor Wei Chang heard what she said, his face became a little more relaxed. He said to the others, "You should also go and see if there are any that are yours."
The other concubines looked at each other in disbelief. Seeing that the beloved concubine had claimed her first, there was no harm in taking a look, so they also went to acknowledge her.
"Ah, these seem to be my concubine's pearl earrings..."
"Hey? Isn't this my concubine's amber ring?"
It seems that everyone has one or two things that belong to themselves. Now even Kang Yanning understands.
No wonder the color on Emperor Wei Chang's face was so bad just now. He must have seen the jewelry items of several different concubines.
Things were getting more and more interesting. Kang Yanning looked at the concubine below.
It seems that Concubine Shu has a plan in mind. If the stolen goods are discovered, everyone will be dragged into the water. The law does not hold everyone accountable. No matter how the matter is investigated, the matter can only be left alone.
Sure enough, Concubine Shu's methods are impressive enough.
Kang Yanning looked at Concubine Shu and saw a smile on her lips.
She didn't like to see Concubine Shu like this, so she asked, "So it seems that all the masters and ladies have a share of these jewelry?"
Everyone looked at her, wondering what she wanted to do and did not answer.
"Then why doesn't Concubine Shu have one?"
Concubine Shu's smiling face was startled.
It was her plan, so she naturally wanted to take it out. Originally, she planned to give Emperor Wei Chang some eye drops in a secret way if the jewelry box was exposed and the news passed.
Although everyone was involved, it left some scars, but he was the only one who was clean from beginning to end.
But now, at this juncture, Kang Yanning, this damn girl, points out, and everyone will definitely think of going together without realizing it!
Concubine Shu was not an ordinary person. She said "Oh?" when she heard Kang Yanning's words.
She looked calm, frowned, and walked downstairs. She looked at each piece of jewelry and shook her head firmly, "There is indeed no jewelry of mine. As for why... I really don't know."
Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Wei Chang, "Your Majesty, what happened today?"
Emperor Wei Chang's eyes looked at her without any fluctuation.
Concubine Shu is currently in the harem temporarily, and he is willing to give her some favor.
Emperor Wei Chang looked away from her and said in a gloomy tone, "Someone bribed the nurse of the second princess and stuffed a purse soaked in smallpox water into the medicine pillow. Even... the birth date of the second princess was placed in the purse."
The more Emperor Wei Chang talked, the angrier he became, "If I find out who is behind such a vicious woman," he looked around, "I will not let her go."
Everyone bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Emperor Wei Chang calmed down and "knocked."
Since Concubine Shu was temporarily in the harem, she should be the one to interrogate her later. She said to the wet nurse who was nesting aside, "Tell me, who are you colluding with?" Did you know that when the wet nurse entered the palace, everyone in the family was checked?
.If you hide anything, I will let your whole family be buried with you."
Kang Yanning chuckled in her heart, she had already said that, could the nanny still say it?
As expected, the wet nurse glanced at her quickly, lowered her head, and murmured, "My wife is temporarily obsessed with something strange. Please show mercy to me, Concubine Shu, and give me death as an apology."
Seeing that Concubine Shu was about to speak again, before she could speak, Kang Yanning interrupted first and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Ning has a few questions. I'm curious. I wonder if I can ask them?"
Concubine Shu frowned and said, "Princess, this is a matter for the harem. I think..."
"Yes." Emperor Wei Chang raised his eyes and interrupted Concubine Shu. He looked at Kang Yanning and said lightly, "You are the second princess's companion, and you discovered this matter. I have high hopes for you."
Kang Yanning stepped forward and gave a blessing, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She walked towards the nanny, and Concubine Shu immediately had a bad premonition. She pursed her lips and finally understood the reason why her daughter hated Kang Yanning so much. This was a bad thing.
"Let me ask you." She picked up the jewelry box, "Who gave this to you?"
The nanny looked at the jewelry box in front of her and said nothing, only tilting her head and looking away.
"Do you think it will be over if you don't talk about it?"
Kang Yanning turned the wet nurse's face towards her and asked her to look at him. "You placed this jewelry box carefully and neatly under your pillow, which proves that you treasure her. Then you must be sneaky when you go to get this jewelry box."
, forcing people.
But the second princess was still young, so in order to prevent her from going hungry, Xu Jieyu sent one of you and four maids to take care of her every hour. Only during the daily lunch break, the second princess would play with Xu Jieyu for a while, and then take a lunch break.
.The only time you have time to get it is then."
Seeing the surprised look on the nanny's face, I knew I was right.
Kang Yanning said to Xu Jieyu, "Call the four maids to come in."
Xu Jieyu hurriedly called in the four personal maids of the second princess.
Kang Yanning said to the four of them, "Think carefully, during the lunch break in the past five days, on which days did you not see the wet nurse?"
The four eldest maids first bowed to Emperor Wei Chang and the concubines. The leading maid said, "Go back to the princess. Normally during the lunch break, we and the wet nurse would leave two maids on duty, and the remaining two and the wet nurse would do it."
Go back to your house."
"Okay. Then think about it, how many days have you not seen her?"
"Wait a minute." Concubine Yi stopped talking. It was related to herself. There were some things she had to ask clearly. "Why is it five days? Can't it be moving forward?"
Kang Yanning replied, "Ms. Yi Fei doesn't know that smallpox can only survive for three days even if it is soaked for a long time and no living body is found."
She looked at the imperial physician: "This imperial physician, am I right?"
The imperial doctor nodded and replied, "That's true. Although smallpox is poisonous, it can only survive for up to three days if no living body can be found to foster it."
"That's it. Looking at the medicine pillow made by the nanny, it should be sealed today for the second princess to use. So it should be within three days, but for the sake of safety, I set the time to five days."
Concubine Yi nodded clearly, and looked at Kang Yanning's expression with a little interest. "The princess is attentive, you continue."
Kang Yanning glanced at Concubine Shu, who looked a little nervous after hearing these words, and said no more.
The leading maid spoke first, "I think I didn't see the nanny the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday."
Once the first person speaks, it becomes much easier for the people behind. "I didn't see you yesterday, but the day before yesterday."
"My slave, I didn't see you yesterday or the day before yesterday."
After the four people talked, they gathered together for a day.
Kang Yanning asked the wet nurse, "During lunch break the day before yesterday, you went to get this bag that had been soaked in smallpox, right?"
The wet nurse remained speechless, lowering her head in silence.
"Then who are you going to meet?"
Kang Yanning knew that it was difficult to deduce who was meeting her without any evidence. But she knew the answer to the riddle, and she had the answer.
She could only point to Concubine Yi's two maids, "Are they them?"
The nanny looked at her without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Kang Yanning chuckled and pointed to the next concubine. The nanny naturally looked at her fearlessly and made up her mind not to speak.
Suddenly, Kang Yanning suddenly changed her angle, pointed directly at the eldest palace maid behind Concubine Shu, and said in a determined tone, "You met her, right?"
