Gui Fumei came back and told Murong Wanhua that his highness was very busy and did not personally bring her to see a doctor. There was only a person who said to be the accountant who accompanied her from the beginning to the end. This highness was not an ordinary highness and was very capable. He found the imperial physician from the Forbidden City to treat her throat. The imperial physician said that it was too late and the medicine had entered her bone marrow and was unfathomable. However, if she was patient and believed in him, she could still talk after taking the medicine for three years.
Forget about three years, even ten years would be enough.
Just like that, Gui Fumei came back with the medicine that the imperial physician had given her.
Ji Xiaolan said," If you like this woman and don't have any physical contact with her, that feeling is very strange. If you accidentally touch her, it will be like an electric shock. Your entire body will tremble. You can look at every part of her body. Every part of her body is attractive to you. You want to touch her hand, her thigh, and hold her tightly in your arms forever. Every action of hers will affect your heart. Even if a gust of wind blows her hair, you will want to comb it for her personally. Every single pore of his body exuded a strong attraction, and his voice and smile were constantly swaying in front of his eyes. Other women did things in front of him just like how they did things in front of him. However, after sleeping with her for a long time, he would become numb. It was even like touching his left hand with his right hand, and he would not feel anything at all. Humans are such strange animals…"
Qianlong walked in and looked at Ji Xiaolan and the eunuch, Su Tonghai. He asked,""What are you guys talking about? Talk about women?"
Ji Xiaolan was a little embarrassed, and the eunuch Su Tonghai was even more nervous. Qianlong said,"It's natural for a man to talk about a woman, just like how a woman talks about a man.”
Eunuch Su Tonghai's face was flushed red. He said that he had something to do and left in a hurry.
Qianlong asked Ji Xiaolan," People say that it's difficult for an upright official to settle family matters. Tell me, let me ask you a question. If you like a woman and she doesn't like you, and you already have a woman, what will you do?”
Ji Xiaolan knew that this was a problem the emperor had encountered. It seemed that he had no idea and was asking her for a solution.
"This is very simple. I'm someone who can take things up and let go. If she doesn't like me, I'll find another woman. I can't find a two-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged men.”Ji Xiaolan said nonchalantly.
Qianlong asked Ji Xiaolan unhappily,"Are you saying that I can't take it up and let it go? Indecisive, unable to cut the Gordian knot?”
"Emperor, I'm not talking about you. I'm saying that if I encountered such a problem, I would do it. However, I didn't encounter such a problem and no woman has taken a fancy to me.”
"Open the window and be honest. What should I do now? Murong Wanhua was still ignoring me, neither hot nor cold towards me, I don't know why? The more lukewarm she was to me, the more I loved her and couldn't leave her. Her shadow filled my mind and eyes. Like what the Empress said about me, pervert?"
"Emperor, I analyzed. This is my analysis and might not be right. Is this Murong Wan Hua playing hard to get to stimulate your curiosity? Ignoring you was a tactic. She had already accepted you in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to say it.”
"Is that really the case?"
"This requires details, analysis and observation. Unfortunately, I'm not the emperor, so I can't study this woman's state of mind. Women are really strange creatures, women's thoughts are hard to guess.”
"Sometimes, I feel very sad and angry. My mouth blisters and my teeth hurt. There have been a few times when I have blisters from the nameless fire, but I don't dare to tell others the reason. He fancied a woman but couldn't win her love? Am I very clumsy? I can't express myself, I can't see through a woman's heart. What does she need, how can I give it to her just right? Sometimes, I also remind myself, why is it so tiring? Just give up. There are so many women in the harem, why do you have a special liking for a married woman? Why did he really like a Han woman? However, I calmed down. My heart told me that I couldn't give up. In a person's life, true love only happens once. It's fate that we meet thousands of miles away. This is fate. In the vast sea of people, I was able to meet a woman I liked from the bottom of my heart. How could I give up easily? Life is short, and it's not easy to find a confidant in life. So, I advised myself to fight for it and work hard. Although I'm very bitter, my heart is very bitter, and I'm very tired, but it's very fulfilling. She doesn't like me, but at least I have someone to rely on in my heart, someone to think about, and something to do.”
"How about forcing it once?"
"No, I can't do that.”
"Emperor, as your official, I am powerless to help you in this matter. I feel very guilty for letting down your trust and high regard for me. I don't have the feeling of truly loving someone, so I can't feel your pain and happiness.”
Qianlong said," The last time I went to Jiangnan, I heard a man say at a roadside tea stall that a man should have at least three women in his heart. Only then would he not waste his next life. Have you heard of this?”
"What do you mean?"
"There's someone capable at home, someone you miss far away, and someone you can't fulfill in your heart. You, Ji Xiaolan, do you have such a situation?”
"Replying to the emperor, I have. I have a few people I miss far away. I also have things that I probably won't be able to realize in this lifetime.”
At this moment, a eunuch said,"The Empress Dowager has invited the Emperor over."”
The Empress Dowager was talking to Wei Jiashi. When she saw the Emperor enter, she said,""Sit down, I have something to tell you.”
Wei Jiashi looked at Qianlong without saying a word.
The Empress Dowager said to Wei Jiashi," If Imperial Noble Consort Su's servant girl went missing, it would be a strange thing. However, the Empress 'servant girl also went missing. Two people went missing one after another. They were found in the abandoned well. Some people said that the servant girls of two masters went missing and were killed. Only your servant girl was fine. It was a little strange. Some people suspected that you were behind it. Tell me, what do you think? How do you explain this?"
Wei Jiashi said slowly,"Empress Dowager, you are very clear. My servant girl wasn't killed. Why do you suspect that there is something wrong with me?" It could be a coincidence, or it could be that someone framed someone else. I don't know why this happened, and I can't explain why my servant girl wasn't killed. If the empress dowager suspects that I did something, you can investigate.”
Qianlong suddenly shouted,"Investigate what? He called the Empress and Imperial Noble Consort Su over and the three of them confronted each other.”
The empress dowager waved her hand to stop him." Don't be anxious. Son, you are already the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Why are you still so careless?" You have to consider the impact and cause and effect."
"What's there to be afraid of? What's wrong with Ouyang Changfeng? I didn't kill him, but someone else did. Obviously, they killed him to silence him. Why hasn't this matter been investigated clearly?”
Wei Jiashi felt wronged and said," Empress Dowager, this matter should really be investigated. I am a woman who is loyal to her husband. I am loyal to the Emperor and have no second thoughts. How could I have an affair?" If that's really the case, I won't die a good death. I wanted to confront that Royal Guards, but unfortunately, someone made the first move. I don't know how long I'll have to take the blame.”
Qianlong said," Both of you are here today, so I'll tell you. I'll go first. That day, after I was taken into custody, I secretly interrogated Ouyang Changfeng. He said that he had a private affair with Wei Jiashi and had sex with her many times. I only asked him for a detail. I said that Imperial Noble Consort Wei Jiashi had a black mole at the private part of her thigh. It was as big as a grain of rice. Was it on the left or right leg of her thigh?”
"Is he right?" the empress dowager asked.”
"No, he said it was on the left leg. Actually, only I know that Wei Jiashi's mole is on the right leg at the base of her thigh. It's not the size of a grain of rice, but the size of a soybean. With this suspicion, I ruled out the fact that Wei Jiashi had an affair with him. Mother, why don't you say that a man who likes his woman doesn't carefully observe his woman's private parts? He can't even tell how big the mole is and where it is. He can't explain it clearly and even said that he had an affair outside many times. Was it possible for her to have an affair since she was young? From then on, I knew that Wei Jiashi was wronged and someone framed her. Unfortunately, I still haven't found out who this person is. The dead can't testify."
Wei Jiashi suddenly burst into tears of joy and returned Qianlong's salute. She said gratefully,""Thank you, emperor, for clearing my name. I didn't know that the emperor already knew that I was wronged. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Qianlong waved his hand and said," Don't be so agitated. I didn't want to make a fuss about it at first. I wanted to follow the clues and find out who the mastermind was. I didn't expect Ouyang Changfeng to be poisoned to death. The clues are gone."”
"The harem is too messy. What happened? Call the Empress and Concubine Su over. I have something to say.”the empress dowager said angrily.
Qianlong comforted his mother and said," Mother, you can't rush this matter. Even if it's their conspiracy, they won't admit it. There must be witnesses and physical evidence. Otherwise, no one will shed tears until they see the coffin. They won't give up until they see the Yellow River. Haste makes waste."”
The empress dowager sighed," Your Majesty, you have grown up. Hearing you say this, Mother is relieved. You have dealt with the problem methodically and according to the rules. We will do as you say. We must hurry up and get to the bottom of this matter and return Wei Jiashi's innocence. As for the black mole on her thigh, such a private and important detail, don't announce it to the public yet.”
"Your son knows."
"However, we must find someone capable to do this. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Mother, recently, a young man called Lu Mingjian came to the Supreme Court. Many people don't know him. I want to use him to investigate this matter.”
"No, son. Mother just praised you for being mature. Why are you being childish again? How could the youths of the Supreme Court investigate the affairs of the harem? It's not convenient."
"Mother, back then, Lord Kangxi outwitted Ao Bai and became a legend. At that time, Lord Kangxi was still young, and ambition does not depend on age. I have high hopes for this Lu Mingjian, even though his father was the original magistrate of Hangzhou and a corrupt official. This kid has thoughts, ambition, and can recite poems. I want to use him. Please support my work. Mobilize all positive factors to serve our Great Qing Dynasty. I have a plan. Let him enter the harem and hide his identity beside you. He will be a fake eunuch who serves you.”
