In this palace, there have always been only things that Qianlong didn't want to find out, but there were no things that Qianlong couldn't find out.

The secret guard office was very effective, and in less than three days, the case of the imperial concubine Gao's miscarriage had been investigated clearly, and all the confessions and evidence were presented to Qianlong.

Qianlong looked at the secret fold reported by the secret guard, and a cold and piercing sneer appeared on his face, this is the beloved queen in his previous life, this is the concubine he once loved the most! Thinking about the fact that the gold is ruined on the outside, it is a woman like them who are different from the outside!

He used to think that Gao's was gentle and sensible, and he was his interpreter, but now he knew that Gao's was also very ruthless in terms of a certain Cheng dù, and he couldn't bear to use the fetus in his womb to set a trap to frame his other concubine who was pregnant with Liujia!

Those so-called witchcraft and Chengrui Pavilion falling into the pool turned out to be the strategy planned by the Gao family, in addition to wanting to get rid of Xiao Yan and the dragon fetus in her womb, they also wanted to use this matter as a line, and then involved the matter on the head of the queen Fucha clan.

Of course, Fucha is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The Fucha clan actually found out about Gao's plan through the cronies she had placed in various places in the palace, so she decided to use the waiter painting to put on a good show, and use Gao's hand to get rid of Xiao Yan, the middle nail, and he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

Xu is Qianlong felt that the Fucha clan and the Gao clan were too disappointed in him, so Qianlong did not save any face for these two women this time, and directly put the results of the secret guard investigation in front of them.

When Gao Fang saw Qianlong appear in Chengqian Palace, she thought that Qianlong felt sorry for her miscarriage and came to her bedroom to visit her, but she didn't expect that Qianlong not only did not have half a word of comfort to her, but directly put in front of her in front of the palace people the evidence that she used the fetus in her womb as a trap to frame Xiao Yan, and the deep and bright phoenix eyes no longer saw the honey and tenderness in the past, but were full of questions and indifference.

Gao Fang had unconsciously slipped tears in Qianlong's indifferent gaze, and sneered in a sad tone: "The dew is wet and the flowers are fragrant in the spring hall, and the moonlight song is blowing in Zhaoyang." It seems to add seawater to the palace leakage, and the long door is long overnight. The emperor is now a favored newcomer in the center of his eyes, how could he ever think of the concubine, an old man who has fallen out of favor? Since the emperor has already determined that the concubine is the mastermind who murdered Xiao Guiren with the fetus in his womb, he has no intention of listening to the concubine's defense again, right? ”

Gao Fang's expression became more and more sad, "The emperor is the son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty, the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and all the women in the world are the emperor." The emperor naturally favors whoever he wants. And the concubine body is just an old dress that the emperor no longer likes, and the emperor can discard it at will. Otherwise, how could the emperor ruthlessly condemn the concubine with just a few cries from Xiao Guiren and a few lies from the minions? ”

Qianlong laughed angrily, "Regardless of the fact that Imperial Physician Hu has confessed to me, saying that you already knew that the fetus in your womb was about to be lost, but you deliberately promised Imperial Physician Hu many benefits for ulterior reasons, and begged Imperial Physician Hu to help you conceal the true situation of the fetus in your womb for the time being, even who is the maidservant who helped you make the wooden person, how did the wooden person engraved with your birth date enter the Chuxiu Palace Slow Blessing Palace, and who is the person who passed it?" Who is the answer? I've found it all out. Now that the confessions and evidence of these people are in front of you, you are still unrepentant and quibbling......"

Seeing that Gao Fang showed an unwilling look and wanted to speak out to defend himself, Qianlong tightened his brows and waved his hand impatiently, "I remind you that in this harem, there are only things I don't want to know, but there are no things I can't know." Whether you deliberately used the fetus in your womb to frame Xiao Guiren and wanted to put the child in her womb to death, you know very well in your own heart. I remember that you had just had a miscarriage and lost your child, so I decided to reduce the punishment for you. If you are immoral and jealous, and intend to murder other pregnant concubines, I will take back the book of canonization of you as the imperial concubine and demote you to a concubine. You take the opportunity to be a little moon and meditate on yourself in Chengqian Palace. ”

Gao Fang looked at Qianlong in a daze, and suddenly remembered the situation when Qianlong was determined to canonize her as the imperial concubine, and couldn't help shedding tears, and muttered and asked: "Your Majesty, you once said to the concubine that the concubine is your favorite woman, even if the concubine is from a humble background, you can't make the concubine the queen, but you can let the concubine be your imperial concubine, the only imperial concubine." You also said to the concubine that the imperial concubine has always been the position of the emperor's favorite concubine...... Have you forgotten all this? ”

Gao Fangsi and Xiao Yan, who had been favored and pregnant recently, showed jealousy on their delicate faces stained with tears, their voices raised slightly, and they asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, did the Xiao family use some subordinate means to confuse the emperor, so that the emperor would give up his concubine because of her?" The concubine has long known that Xiao is a fox spirit who is good at confusing people, she must have said a lot of bad things about the concubine in front of the emperor, right? Your Majesty, don't believe her! ”

Qianlong stared at Gao Fang with an unfamiliar gaze for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Xiao Guiren has never said a bad word about you in front of me at all. This time, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I really didn't expect that you had made such a big mistake and that you were still obsessed and unrepentant until now. You should copy "The Female Ring" and "The Female Rule", and meditate on yourself in the Chengqian Palace. When you think clearly, think clearly, when to come out again. ”

Qianlong said that, and then turned around and left without hesitation. Gao Fang looked at Qianlong's desperate back through hazy teary eyes, tears slipped down one after another, and she cried sadly.

After Qianlong disposed of the Gao family, he went to Changchun Palace to talk to the Empress Fucha.

Fucha Ningxiu looked at the various incriminating evidence thrown in front of her by Qianlong in disbelief, including the evidence that she had ordered someone to deliberately send spices containing musk into the Chengqian Palace to murder Gao, and there were also various incriminating evidence that she ordered the waiter to poison the osmanthus cake in order to make Xiao Yan unable to get pregnant, and then after knowing that the Gao family slipped and fell into the water at the Chengrui Pavilion and the discovery of the witch Gu that cursed the Gao family in the Chuxiu Palace's Slow Blessing Palace, she secretly ordered the waiter to fabricate lies and deliberately put all the trumped-up charges on Xiao Yan.

"Your Majesty, where did all this evidence come from? This is a frame-up, a lie, and someone deliberately set up a situation to frame the concubine! Your Majesty, don't be deceived by the tricks of these traitors and misunderstand your concubine! ”

Qianlong saw that Fucha Ningxiu really did not repent and refused to admit his mistakes, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, and he didn't have more verbal disputes with the Fucha clan, but just reminded lightly with a gloomy face: "Whether these criminal evidence is true or not, I have my own decision in my heart. You are the concubine of the Emperor and the Empress of the Qing Dynasty who I personally canonized. I would like to remind you that as a queen, you must not only have both talent and virtue, but also need to be calm. The heart is not quiet, but she can't be a queen. I have decided to make Concubine Xian a noble concubine and ordered her to assist you in handling the affairs of the Six Palaces. You are not in good health and need to recuperate in Changchun Palace for a period of time. When you have nothing to do, copy more Buddhist scriptures. When you get well, you can take charge of the harem affairs. ”

Fucha Ningxiu couldn't believe her ears, and looked at Qianlong in disbelief, "The concubine is the queen of the Qing Dynasty who was personally canonized by the emperor, and she is the emperor's wife!" Now the emperor wants to punish the concubine for the sake of a little nobleman, regardless of the face of the concubine? Regardless of whether the concubine has her own plan based on the fact that the Gao family deliberately framed the Xiao family this time, just because the child in the Xiao family's womb is still safe and sound, the concubine body should not be punished so unfairly! ”

Qianlong sneered, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Fucha Ningxiu in disgust, and sneered: "According to the queen's meaning, shouldn't I severely punish the mastermind who murdered them only when Xiao Guiren and the fetus in his womb were killed and lost their lives?" It is rare for the dignified mother of the Qing Dynasty to be able to say such a crooked reasoning with confidence. I'm not afraid to sue you, I just don't want to see Xiao Guiren and the child in her womb hurt in any way. Anyone who dares to murder and plot against their mother and son will be severely punished. You should secretly rejoice that Xiao Guiren and the child in her womb are safe and sound, otherwise, the punishment I give you will not be as simple as thinking behind closed doors and copying Buddhist scriptures. ”

Qianlong paused for a moment, and then continued: "I hate the woman who tries to control the right of the harem concubines to give birth to heirs and control the bloodline of my heirs! Who I like, and which concubine I am allowed to bear children for me, is something I can only decide. Even the queen cannot interfere in this matter without permission. I hope you will be good at yourself, and don't let down the last chance I gave you. If you do it again in the future, I will not forgive you again as I do today. ”

Qianlong said that, he no longer looked at Fucha Ningxiu's stunned and unwilling look, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Fucha Ningxiu stared at the direction of Qianlong's departure with hatred, trembling with anger, and after Qianlong left Changchun Palace, he was immediately so angry that he waved a set of fine blue and white porcelain teacups on the table to the ground and fell to pieces.

Fucha Ningxiu shed tears of anger, she felt that her painstaking calculations were just a joke in Qianlong's eyes, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't win Qianlong's favor more than Xiao Guiren's smile.

Now, although Fucha Ning Xiu finally got her wish and made Qianlong demote the Gao family, since then there is no favored imperial concubine in the palace to respond to her, however, Ning Xiu can't feel happy. From Qianlong's treatment of her, the Gao family and the palace maids, Ning Xiu has been keenly aware of Qianlong's change in Xiao Yan's mind. However, more than two months ago, the emperor would even be stingy to give Xiao Yan a title, but now, he can't allow Xiao Yan to have any potential dangers around him?

The more Fucha Ningxiu thought about it, the more she hated, and she regretted her previous behavior of insisting on leaving Xiao Yan in the harem to lure the wolf into the house, and scolded angrily: "Xiao Clan, this palace really underestimated you!" What if you can win a game of Hongu for the time being? This palace should take a good look at how much favor you can get from the emperor, a little Han girl from a humble background! Draft in the palace, once every three years. Three years later, the palace is still the queen who rules the six palaces, and you, I'm afraid that you have already been left behind by the emperor who likes other beauties, and no one cares about it in the harem, even if you are rotten and stinky in the palace, the emperor will not think of you. At that time, Hongu can do what he wants to do to you! Hongu can't wait to see how you have fallen out of favor......"

Although Qianlong did not make public the crimes of Empress Fucha Ningxiu and Concubine Gao, the changes in the positions of Concubine Gao and Concubine Xian still attracted the attention of everyone in the palace.

Originally, the imperial concubine Gao was deeply favored by Qianlong, and was the only concubine in the harem who could compete with the queen Fucha, however, now the Gao family not only had a miscarriage, but also angered Qianlong, was deprived of the position of the transcendent imperial concubine, and was demoted to a concubine. The position of the concubine was originally a high position in the harem, however, while Qianlong demoted the Gao family to a concubine, he deliberately promoted the position of the concubine Wulanara, so that the concubine who was originally in the harem was like a transparent person and became a concubine.

Therefore, although the Gao family and the Wulanala clan are both concubines, one is a concubine who has just angered Shengyan and has been demoted from the imperial concubine to a noble concubine who has not even been titled, and the other is a concubine newly canonized by the emperor with Xian as the title, and has been given the right to assist the queen in handling the affairs of the six palaces.

Just when the queen Fucha was closed in the Changchun Palace, copying Buddhist scriptures for self-cultivation, and the concubine Gao was confined to the Chengqian Palace to copy the "Female Ring" and "Female Rules", the only two pregnant concubines in the harem, Jin Jia Wanhua, suddenly went into labor late at night, but due to the improper fetal position, the midwives and palace people who were waiting for the concubines in the Zhongcui Palace were in a hurry. Qian Xue, the palace maid beside Jia Concubine, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly reported the matter to the Empress Fucha and the Xian Guifei Wulanala Clan.
