Chapter 188: Double Killing with One Arrow Fanghua Climbs into Bed
Shi Nanxi put away her self-pitying expression.
"Everything is arranged?"
Hongying no longer looked anxious, and replied calmly:
"It has been arranged, Madam. I have secretly replaced the lid of the incense burner early in the morning. I have ensured that the entire inner room is now filled with the soothing aroma of added ingredients."
Shi Nanxi stood up and looked through the window at the servants coming and going in Danning Residence. There was a hint of coldness under her calm expression.
"There are so many servants out there. They usually accept my rewards and call me their master, but secretly they try every means to murder me, spread rumors about me, and even want to use my bedroom to climb into the emperor's bed. I have always been too lenient with them, so I will take this opportunity to clean them up."
The atmosphere in the room was cold and solemn.
"Your Majesty should have cleaned them up long ago, especially Fangzi and Caiguo, and that Fanghua. She's just a servant, but she thinks she's pretty enough to climb into the emperor's bed. Bah, wishful thinking!"
Hongying clenched her fists, angrily.
Nanny Yang is calmer than Hongying.
"My Lady, according to your instructions, I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the servants in Danning Residence since we returned from the Lotus Appreciation Feast seven days ago. Fanghua is the most beautiful maid in the palace, and she has always been a bit scheming. Since the rumors spread in Changchun Garden that you have fallen out of favor, she has started to behave strangely. She dresses up secretly every day and often hangs around the main hall gate for no reason. It is obvious that she wants to get close to the emperor when he comes."
"Hmph, vixen, how could the emperor fall for her!" Hongying interrupted angrily.
Nanny Yang said seriously:
"But according to my observation, although Fanghua is thoughtful, she is not very courageous. Since the master entered the palace, the emperor has often come over. Fanghua always wants to get close to him but dares not to take any action. Now, in just a few days, she has suddenly become bold. Even if there are rumors that the queen has fallen out of favor, the emperor sends her rewards every day, which is not enough to make her bold enough to act."
"Mammy, are you trying to say that someone is behind her?" Shi Nanxi turned around and said calmly, "Who?"
Nanny Yang said:
"Little newcomer."
"It was him. I remember that on the first day I came to the palace to pay my respects, he was the one who spread the news."
Shinnanxi apparently has a good memory.
"Have you found the person behind this?"
Madam Yang pursed her lips and said, "This old servant found out that the young newcomer had contact with the little song from Ruijingxuan two days ago."
"Rui Jing Xuan? Imperial Concubine Niu Hulu." This person behind the scenes was not unexpected to Shi Nanxi, but... She looked at Nanny Yang:
"Madam, do you have any doubts?"
Nanny Yang hesitated:
"I just think everything went too smoothly. Our people discovered Xiao Xinzi's contact with Xiao Quzi the first time they followed him. Maybe I was too suspicious."
Shi Nanxi pondered for a moment and made the final decision:
"No matter if the person behind this is Imperial Concubine Niu Hulu or not, it has been confirmed before that she used musk to murder me. She is not innocent, so Fanghua's incident will be blamed on her first."
After that, without further delay, she said:
"It's getting late. I think Xiao Fuzi has already reported back to the emperor. The emperor should be here soon. Let's go!"
Soon, Shi Nanxi and his two servants left the main hall, which immediately attracted the attention of the servants in Dan Ningju.
The Queen has been staying in the room for seven days without coming out. Why is she coming out now? Could it be that the Queen can't bear it anymore and is ready to take the initiative to ask for an audience with the Emperor?
"Empress, what are you doing?" Xiao Ruzi came over and asked cautiously.
Of the two chief eunuchs, Zhou Rong stayed in the palace, and Xiao Ruzi followed.
Shi Nanxi looked like a sickly beauty, with a look of anxiety and worry. She didn't say anything, but Hongying beside her quickly explained:
"Your Majesty just heard that Xixi disappeared. Xixi was given to you by the Emperor to keep you company. Your Majesty was extremely worried when she heard this, so she decided to go look for her herself regardless of her health."
"Okay, Xixi is important, don't waste any more time, let's go."
Shi Nanxi anxiously interrupted Hongying's words, quickened his pace and walked out. Soon the master and his servants left Danningju.
As soon as Shi Nanxi left, Kangxi's sedan chair arrived.
"The emperor is here?" Upon hearing that the emperor was arriving, Xiao Ruzi was surprised, happy, and annoyed. He was only one step away, so he hurried to the front hall to welcome him.
However, when he arrived, Fanghua had already arrived with a bowl of tea.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has gone to look for Xixi. Please wait a moment, the Queen will be back soon."
As soon as Kangxi sat down, he smelled a burst of fragrance coming from the front. It was so strong that he couldn't help but frown and look over.
The first thing you see is a bright face with fair skin. A large pink hibiscus silk flower on her black hair is particularly eye-catching. She wears a pair of pearl earrings on her ears, which are round and shiny and sway gently as she walks.
It was Fanghua, he knew her. She was the palace maid beside the girl, not usually responsible for personal service. He knew her because he always saw her when he came to the girl's place. That's how he knew her.
But I just know the name.
"Your Majesty~"
Fanghua didn't expect the emperor to look at her suddenly. Her bright face couldn't help but turn red. A hint of shyness flashed across her face. She quickly lowered her head, revealing a part of her fair and slender neck.
Who is Kangxi? He grew up in the harem and is now 38 years old. He is experienced and can often tell what other people are thinking without them saying anything.
And it was obvious that Fanghua just wanted to seduce him.
I immediately felt unhappy.
He hadn't had his period for only seven days, but already some of the girls were trying to get into bed with him.
Not noticing Kangxi's displeasure, Fanghua suppressed her shyness, bent her slender waist, took a step closer, and handed the tea bowl in her hand to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Liang Jiugong who was standing behind Kangxi glanced at Fanghua and shook his head secretly. The emperor had rushed here in a hurry after hearing that Empress Xian was unwell. He must have been very worried when he didn't see the Empress Xian. Fanghua took this opportunity to seduce the emperor, which was simply courting death!
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the emperor's cold voice:
"Put it down and get out."
"Your Majesty?" Fanghua didn't expect the emperor to suddenly attack. She stood there motionless. At this time, Xiao Ruzi took the opportunity to step forward.
"Your servant Xiao Ruzi greets His Majesty. Your Majesty just received the news that Xixi had gone missing and was extremely worried. You sent this to accompany Your Majesty. After hearing the news, Your Majesty went to look for it in person despite her discomfort. She left not long ago."
After hearing Xiao Ruzi's words, Kangxi's gloomy expression improved a little. He ignored Fanghua and said:
"Empress Xian is not feeling well, so she can't be so tired. I'll go and see her." After saying that, he stood up and left without even looking at Fanghua.
Seeing this, Xiao Ruzi winked at Fanghua secretly and sneered inwardly, "How dare she seduce the Emperor while the Empress is away? Humph, when the Empress comes back, I'll see how she'll be punished severely."
Fanghua's face was no longer rosy at this moment, but pale. When she saw Xiaoruzi's eyes, she felt cold all over.
Seeing that the emperor was about to pass her, she gritted her teeth, suddenly put down the tea bowl, and hugged the emperor's waist from behind.
"Your Majesty, it was the Queen who asked me to serve you!" Upon hearing this, Kangxi subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
Liang Jiugong/Xiao Ruzi, who was about to yell, was stunned.
Just when everyone was silent, Shi Nanxi saw Xixi coming back with a happy and relieved expression outside the door. However, when she raised her eyes, she saw this scene in front of her.
The next moment, the world was spinning.
"Miss!"
"Meow!"
