Chapter 191 The Imperial Concubine Was Punished and He Allowed Her
"You little dog slave, when did I ever let you instigate Fanghua to climb into my bed? How dare you so boldly slander me!"
Concubine Niuhulu was a little slow to react. She was angry and anxious. With the help of Nanny Qin, she knelt down and begged Emperor Kangxi:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have no grudge against Concubine Xian. How could I let this dog slave instigate Fanghua to climb into bed and stimulate Concubine Xian? This dog slave is slandering me. Please see clearly and give Concubine Xian the truth and clear my name."
Which bitch framed her? Concubine Niu was furious, but she also felt inexplicably uneasy. What if the Emperor investigated her thoroughly because of this matter and accidentally found out about Musk?
Even after the tail was swept clean, she was still a little worried.
The noble lady behind Concubine Niuhulu bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is in charge of the six palaces. She is fair, generous, and dignified. The sisters can live in harmony thanks to the Imperial Concubine's teachings. The Imperial Concubine would never do such a thing to cover up. Please understand."
When Concubine Rong heard what Concubine Tong said, she secretly rolled her eyes. Concubine Rong was not magnanimous and dignified at all. She immediately replied:
"There is some truth in what Noble Lady Tong said, but I seem to have heard that Concubine Xian was slandered by a woman from the Blue Palace in the Yongshou Palace of Concubine Noble on the second day after she came to the palace to pay respects. Concubine Noble was present at the time but failed to stop it immediately..."
Noble Concubine Niuhulu looked at Concubine Rong coldly. Concubine Rong blinked and raised her eyebrows deliberately.
"Ah, look at what I am saying. These are all rumors I heard in Changchun Garden. Don't take them seriously. Don't take them seriously."
However, it is said that it should not be taken seriously, but the reason why Concubine Nianhulu asked Xiao Xinzi to instigate Fanghua to stimulate Concubine Xian was found.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Nianhulu with his eyes full of deep majesty. He also remembered the day when he came to pay his respects. When he arrived, Concubine Nianhulu allowed a woman from the blue official to question the little girl.
Concubine Niuhulu hated Concubine Rong very much, but when she met Kangxi's gaze, she looked aggrieved. Kangxi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Pass the little song."
Xiao Fuzi immediately took the order and left. Seeing this scene, Concubine Nianhulu felt angry and aggrieved.
She is the Imperial Concubine, the number one person in the harem, has a son and has assisted in managing the six palaces for many years. Now any little eunuch dares to frame her.
What’s more important is that the emperor doesn’t believe her either. It’s all the fault of that bitch, Concubine Xian. Why doesn’t she just seduce her to death?
After a long time, Xiao Fuzi came back, but he didn't bring the little song back.
"Your Majesty, I didn't find Xiao Quzi when I arrived at Ruijingxuan. I finally found him in the lotus pond outside Ruijingxuan. He was already dead at that time."
The little tune is dead!
The atmosphere became increasingly tense and depressing.
Imperial Concubine Nianhulu clenched her palms tightly.
Xiao Quzi's death seemed to leave no evidence and no way to implicate her, but it seemed more like she had killed him first to silence him.
Who is it!
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Niuhulu was a little flustered and wanted to say something.
Kangxi's face was terribly gloomy. Every suspect he found had either committed suicide or been silenced. He no longer wanted to hear any explanation.
Arresting someone requires evidence, but when there is no evidence, all those involved will be directly charged. Kangxi's thin lips suddenly curled up coldly:
"Noble Consort Niuhulu has failed to manage the harem properly, which has led to rumors spreading from time to time. Effective immediately, she will be removed from her position as assistant to the six palaces and will reflect on her actions in Ruijingxuan."
Imperial Concubine Niuhulu looked up in disbelief. She was clearly wronged and the matter had not been investigated thoroughly yet. Why didn't the emperor believe her? ? ?
At this time, Kangxi said: "Fanghua is sentenced to death, Fangzi is sentenced to death, Xiaoxinzi is sentenced to death."
After three consecutive executions, the house fell into complete silence. The concubines lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
Kangxi looked around expressionlessly, his eyes swept over the concubines, stopped at Concubine Guo in the corner, and finally retracted his gaze and said:
"Empress Xian needs to rest. From today on, you are not allowed to disturb her easily. Everyone leave." After saying that, he strode aside the pearl curtain and entered the inner room.
The concubines did not dare to stay any longer, but if they wanted to leave, they had to leave smoothly according to their rank, so everyone looked at Concubine Nianhulu.
The palms of Concubine Niuhulu were swollen from being pinched, but her back was straight, and she looked as elegant and noble as ever. She was the first to leave with the help of Nanny Qin.
Seeing this, the others left one after another.
Behind the crowd, Concubine Guo and Nara Chang walked together unconsciously, and Nara Chang seemed to be gossiping.
"Sister Guo, do you think Fanghua really climbed the bed at the behest of the Imperial Concubine?
Lady Guo's expression remained unchanged.
Reminder:
"Sister, be careful with your words. The Emperor said that the Imperial Concubine was incompetent in managing the harem, but he did not mention that what happened today was instigated by the Imperial Concubine. If this gets out, it would be slandering the Imperial Concubine, which is a crime of great disrespect."
Nara Changzai's face turned pale, and then she thanked Concubine Guo gratefully:
"Thank you, Sister Guo, for reminding me. I am very grateful."
Concubine Guo just smiled.
Nara Changzai said again:
"I wonder if my sister has anything to do later. I want to go to your place to talk?"
Concubine Guo glared at Nala Changzai.
"Sister, you're awesome. We are sisters now, so why be polite? Just come and talk to me anytime."
Nara Chang's smile deepened a little.
"Then I will have to bother you more often in the future."
On the other side, after the concubines left, Danning Palace became quiet.
Kangxi sat beside the bed, quietly looking at the little girl who hadn't woken up yet. She had lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under her eyes were particularly obvious against her pale skin.
If she woke up and saw it, she would definitely be sad. But he knew that little girls loved beauty the most, so his big hand stopped in mid-air, not daring to touch.
He thought that with busy government affairs and the company of other concubines, he would not miss her, but looking at the unconscious girl at this moment, he realized how much he missed her in his heart, and he carefully depicted her face in mid-air.
The words he heard outside Qingxi Book House that day emerged in his mind. That day, he heard her admit that she didn't want him to look at Concubine Wang, didn't want him to pay attention to Concubine Wang, and only wanted him to look at her. How jealous and intolerable she was.
He was shocked at first, then felt an unknown joy, and finally displeasure.
As an emperor who received imperial education since childhood, his ancestors taught him that the country is the most important, and that he should only pamper his concubines, not love them, and that he should treat them equally.
Concubines would sometimes be jealous, but that was just a trick to win favor. But from the girl's tone at that time, he was sure that she was not jealous at all, which was a big taboo in the royal harem.
Later, he heard that the girl left the Lotus Banquet halfway because the appearance of Concubine Nianhulu and others at the talent show attracted his attention. She couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart and made an excuse to leave. He became more certain of his guess.
Logically, he should have been very angry and furious, thinking that the girl was spoiled by her favor, but for some reason he did not go in and sternly teach her about the virtues of a woman and not to be jealous, nor did he let the girl know that he had been to Qingxi Book House that day.
After returning, he told himself that as an emperor, if he wanted to wear the crown, he had to bear its weight, and he had to accept the responsibilities and constraints that came with being an emperor.
He couldn't break the rules, so he had to be cold to the girl, hoping that she would understand his purpose and take the initiative to give up her jealous and intolerable thoughts.
For this purpose, he also went to the old man's house to sit and see the children, and also called the newlyweds to accompany him.
But for some unknown reason, he did not go to Dan Ning Ju, but sent people to visit the girl every day and gave her rewards. Deep down in his heart, he even hoped that the girl would come to him to question him.
Was he trying to allow her to be jealous of other people?
This thought was too horrible and too unlike himself. After realizing it, he kept it deep in his heart. Until today, after so many things happened, Kangxi suddenly felt relieved when he looked at the unconscious girl on the bed.
The little girl is young and has few relatives. She has nothing but him. She likes him and loves him, so naturally she can't help but want others to take his attention away. She's just a little jealous, domineering and envious.
As long as she is fine, he will allow her.
So wake up quickly!
