Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Jinghao asked Yangmei to investigate the truth of her premature birth in private. After receiving the letter from nobleman Wu Ya, she did not say anything. Instead, she confirmed that the people in the imperial garden really planned to transplant a batch of redbud trees in the back garden. Only then did he tell Kangxi all about this matter.

So apart from a few insiders, other people in the palace don't know how many turbulent undercurrents have occurred under the calm surface these days, and they don't know the purpose of Kangxi's sudden summoning of everyone in the harem to Chengqian Palace.

However, since Kangxi ordered, the concubines in the harem naturally did not dare to delay, and arrived at Chengqian Palace one after another.

Before Kangxi arrived, the other concubines were whispering about why Kangxi summoned them, and it was impossible to summon them for no reason.

The person with no ghosts in his heart is naturally more curious and surprised, but the person with ghosts in his heart is unavoidably uneasy and nervous.

After Concubine Tong Jia came out, the other concubines looked at her, as if they wanted to get an answer from her, but how did Concubine Tong Jia know the answer?

For Kangxi's sudden summons, Concubine Tong Jia was also at a loss, and even felt a little uneasy in her heart, wondering if it might have something to do with her?But even if she really had a bad idea, didn't she have time to do something?

No wonder Concubine Tong Jia thinks this way, and it's not that she is too timid, but after a stumble before, Concubine Tong Jia finally knows that there are some things that she can't just do cleanly.

Just like the previous incident, at first Concubine Tong Jia really thought that Kangxi had found some clues, so she decreed to seize her palace power, but no matter how she and Madam Liu resumed after the incident, Concubine Tong Jia I still can't find where they are showing their feet.

So Concubine Tong Jia finally understood a truth, that is, sometimes the emperor does not need evidence to do things.

Concubine Tong Jia, who was once scared by Kangxi, inevitably had some sequelae. For example, once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

But Concubine Tong Jia can rest assured this time, Kangxi did not come to trouble her today, when he came to Chengqian Palace, all the concubines in the harem had arrived.

After they all got up and saluted, Kangxi said: "Get up, I summoned you today because some people don't want to have a good New Year."

Kangxi's tone was light and calm, but it made people feel uneasy, because even people with bad brains could tell that something happened, but they didn't know what happened.

"Bring someone up." Kangxi also simply revealed the witness.

In addition to Eunuch Liu from the Imperial Garden, there was also Xiao Dezi who had passed away from the Punishment Division. Compared with Eunuch Liu who only had a black forehead, Xiao Dezi was much more miserable.

Even though Xiao Dezi changed his clothes because he was worried that the wounds on his body would stain the eyes of the nobles, and took care of him briefly, it can still be seen that Xiao Dezi has suffered a serious crime. When he came in, he even It was brought in half supported and half dragged.

Concubine Jing didn't realize that Xiao Dezi was from her Jingyang Palace, she thought so, after all, Xiao Dezi was just a rough envoy and eunuch in Jingyang Palace, and he had no chance to see Concubine Jing on weekdays.

On the contrary, Eunuch Liu of the Royal Garden is more impressive to her, because Eunuch Liu is also a steward, and has many more opportunities to show his face in front of nobles than Xiao Dezi.

The same goes for the others, except that nobleman, who recognized Xiao Dezi at the first sight, unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in his hand, and the expression on his face became tense uncontrollably .

How could Xiao Dezi be arrested?

Did he confess her?

No, she is kind to Xiao Dezi, he can't confess her.

At this moment, the nobleman's heart was beating like a beating, but he held back, not daring to show any strangeness on his face.

However, the psychological quality of the concubine Jing is much worse than that nobleman. When she heard that Xiao Dezi was the rough envoy and eunuch of Jingyang Palace, her face suddenly changed: "Impossible, how could he be a concubine?" A slave in the palace?"

"What are you so excited about?" Concubine Rong opened her mouth like a cat smelling something fishy, ​​"I haven't even said what this slave did, Concubine Jing, what are you so anxious to clarify?"

Concubine Jing naturally knew that she was a little anxious, but how could such a thing make her not anxious?Although I don't know what Xiao Dezi did, but it seems that it is definitely not a trivial matter.

"It won't hurt your back if you don't stand and talk, I don't believe that you can take it lightly if it happens to you." Concubine Jing retorted.

"Stop cursing me with your crow's mouth." Concubine Rong said, "I won't let the people in my palace do anything bad."

"you……"

"Shut up." Kangxi said with a cold face, "Is it possible that I asked you all to come here to watch you fight?"

As soon as Kangxi made a sound, Concubine Jing and Concubine Rong immediately shut up, and the others didn't dare to speak out, they just listened to Liang Jiugong explain the ins and outs to everyone.

Knowing that the incident was actually aimed at Jinghao and Xiao Baokang, everyone was surprised but not surprised. They were surprised that someone was really so bold and dared to take action against Jinghao and their mother, but they were not surprised by Jinghao and the others. It is only natural for a mother and child to be so favored and hated by others.

Just don't know who is behind the scenes.

"That nobleman ordered it." After Eunuch Liu told all he knew, Xiao Dezi didn't hesitate much, and told the truth directly.

Because what should be said and what should not be said, he has already said everything in the Department of Punishment, and there is no need to hesitate now.

Hearing Xiao Dezi's words, everyone else was taken aback, and even Concubine Jing looked at the nobleman in disbelief.

"The nobleman?"

"How could it be that noble man?"

The other concubines were so surprised that they couldn't help making noises. It was really this black hand behind the scenes that made them feel unbelievable. After all, in their opinion, the nobleman's sense of existence was too low.

It was so low that even though she gave birth to two princes, when others mentioned her, they still didn't have much impression, and sometimes it was hard to think of such a person without mentioning her.

But now Xiao Dezi told them that it was that noble person who came up with such a vicious method to deal with Dai Jia's mother and son?

Xiao Dezi seemed to have not seen the surprised eyes of other people, and continued to say to himself: "The nobleman once saved the slave's life, this kindness, the slave will always remember it in his heart, so when the nobleman finds the slave, let him When the servant did something for her, even though the servant knew what was good and bad, he agreed."

"But the slave didn't expect that in order to help the nobleman, the concubine Zhen's concubine would give birth prematurely, and even caused the tragic death of the slave's friend from the same village. The slave felt extremely guilty for this."

"Concubine Zhen's premature birth was also the work of that nobleman?"

The other concubines hadn't had time to recover from the shock just now, and they were severely blown up by the deep-water torpedo thrown by Xiao Dezi. Even Concubine Niu Colu, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but look at the nobleman frequently. past.

The nobleman didn't say a word, just listening to Xiao Dezi continue: "Originally, I did something for the nobleman, and the slave thought that I had repaid the nobleman's kindness, but unexpectedly she found the slave again not long ago." , I hope the slave will do one more thing for her."

"The slave didn't want to agree at first, but he was afraid that the nobleman would use the previous incident as a threat, so he had no choice but to agree. He thought that this time would be safe and sound like last time, but he was finally found out."

As he said that, Xiao Dezi turned his head to look at the nobleman, and said, "That nobleman, what should be repaid to you, the slave has already repaid, but you know how powerful the Punishment Division is, so the slave couldn't stand it, so he had to spit it out. "

"The slave also knows that he will die in the end, but he doesn't want to suffer so many crimes before he dies, and he doesn't want to suffer so many crimes just to protect you."

"You originally planned to put these two things on the head of the concubine Jing, so that the concubine Zhen would think that she harmed them, so that you can see their snipe and clam fighting and benefit yourself."

"But what about the slave? You should know that if you deliberately show your feet to arouse the suspicion of the concubine Zhen, then you will definitely find out about the slave. Don't you think about the slave's life?"

"So that's the case." The nobleman thought about denying it at first, but after thinking about it, since the emperor has summoned everyone, and Xiao Dezi has completely betrayed her, it is useless to deny it.

So the nobleman stopped pretending, and she looked at Xiao Dezi, "So you didn't really help me this time, did you?"

"Slave...can't be sincere." Xiao Dezi said.

"Then why didn't you refuse?" If the nobleman had known that Xiao Dezi had alienated her because of the previous incident, then even if she was out of her mind, she would not be able to let Xiao Dezi do things for her again.

She would rather suspend this plan, or find another way to deal with Jing and their mother and son, and it is absolutely impossible to let Xiao Dezi, who is already dissatisfied with her, do things for her.

"Why didn't the slave refuse? Isn't the nobleman like a bright mirror in his heart?" Xiao Dezi said, "If the slave can no longer be used by you, the slave may die unexpectedly one day."

"I underestimated you." The nobleman never expected that the seemingly honest and stupid Xiao Dezi could see so clearly behind his back. If he couldn't be used by her, then she would definitely not keep him. life.

But I didn't expect that when she hunted geese all day long, the geese pecked at her eyes.

"I underestimated you too." Concubine Jing, after realizing the truth revealed by Xiao Dezi, looked at the nobleman's eyes as if she wanted to eat her, "I didn't expect that you usually look submissive, but you are actually a poisonous woman behind your back. !"

Thinking of the nobleman trying to blame her for all the bad things he did, Concubine Jing became very angry, "What can I do to you, you actually hurt me like this?"

From Concubine Jing's point of view, she was not bad to that nobleman, even though she was making a living under her, she didn't love to set rules for others or find opportunities to make things difficult for others like other empresses.

She treats her so well, but she treats her like this?

In Concubine Jing's eyes, that nobleman is simply an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!

"What can you do to me?" The nobleman was a little bit amused by the concubine's question, "You should ask what you can do to me, right? I gave birth to Yinyu, but you snatched her Go, this is the rule in the palace, I admit it."

"But how do you take care of Yinti? Do you dare to pat your chest and say that you are as close to Yinti as flesh and blood?" If you don't treat him well, he will suffer from illnesses at a young age, how can you treat me wrong?"

"Yinti's body is not good, isn't that because you were so sad when you were pregnant with him?" Concubine Jing retorted with a cold face.

"Who knows." The nobleman said with a sneer, "Anyway, I only know that you send someone to invite the emperor every time Yinti gets sick, and you even dress yourself up beautifully."

"You spitting blood!" Concubine Jing's expression changed.

"What about me?" Jinghao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked the nobleman, "I didn't rob your son, and I didn't make enemies with you. Why did you cause me to give birth prematurely, and then want to use such vicious means to harm my son? ?”

What Jing Hao asked was also what Kangxi wanted to know. As far as he knew, Jing Hao had never had any deep contact with that nobleman, let alone any personal enmity.

"You didn't snatch my son, but you beat my Yinqi!" The nobleman didn't say anything about his dignity at this time, and looked straight at Jing, "The better you live, the better you are!" , my Yinti became weaker and sicker, why?"

"I think it's you who restrained my Yinqi. If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't be so weak!"

Jinghao thought about many reasons why the nobleman dealt with her, but she never expected that it was such a nonsense?

"It's so funny. I can't get along with elder brother Yinti, and I can count the number of times we meet on one hand. In this way, you can blame elder brother Yinti for being weak and sick?"

Jinghao sneered, "I think you probably want to shirk responsibility, right? Putting all the responsibility on others will make you feel better, and you will feel that you have nothing owed to brother Yinqi, right?"

"I'm not! I don't!" The nobleman didn't know if Jing Hao had hit the mark, and pointed at her angrily, "You spout blood."

"You know if I'm spitting blood or not." Jing Hao said, "Elder brother Yinyu was born weak, but you said he was restrained by others. What about elder brother Wanmei? You raised him with your own hands back then. In the end, he still died, why don't you blame yourself for not taking good care of him, and you don't say that you restrained him?"

"You should think of some vicious ways to harm yourself after giving birth to Elder Brother Yinyu, and pay for Elder Wanmei's life!"

Thinking of Xiao Baokang being forced to give birth prematurely in less than a month, but fortunately being pityed by God and finally born safely, but being plotted by the nobleman and almost suffering, Jing Hao wished to raise a knife and kill the nobleman, the culprit.

"Why? Haven't you thought about it? It seems that you love yourself the most." Jinghao mocked, "If that's the case, then don't use the guise of Aiko to harm others, it's really disgusting .”

"Brother Wanmei and Brother Yinyu have a biological mother like you, it's really pitiful."

The nobleman's face turned green and then pale after what Jing Hao said, as if she was stripped naked and still walking on the street, as if all the dark thoughts in her heart were hidden under the sun.

"So you admitted that you plotted against Concubine Zhen and caused her to give birth prematurely, and you also admitted that you attempted to murder Yinyou?" Kangxi waited for Jinghao to vent her anger before asking aloud.

The nobleman who knew that he had no way out smiled nonchalantly: "Is it the concubine's turn to deny it?"

"Very good." Kangxi didn't care about the nobleman's nonchalant attitude, he said, "Since you confessed, let's talk about your crime now."

"Murdering the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir is a serious crime. You have knowingly committed the crime again and again, and you have no intention of repenting so far. I will give you a death sentence. After death, you will not be buried in the imperial tomb."

"Anyone from the Nala family who is over 16 years old will be exiled to Ningguta, and those under 16 years old will be sent to Xinzheku."

"As for Wan Min and Yin Yu, they will no longer be your children from now on. I will have someone modify the jade certificate for them. From now on, they will have nothing to do with you."

"No!"

If the punishments that Kangxi said before were all expected by the nobleman, then his last punishment was completely beyond the nobleman's expectations.

As for Yinyu, perhaps because she wasn't raised by her own hands, that nobleman's affection for him is not as deep as that of Wanmei, otherwise, after Wanmei's death, the nobleman would not be so immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself.

It was also for this reason that the nobleman's reaction was so great when she heard Kangxi say that she would change the jade certificates for Wanmi and Yinyu, which directly broke her indifferent attitude just now.

"Your Majesty, the concubine does not ask for her life, but only asks you to take back her life. Don't change the jade certificate for Wan Yu and Yinyu. They are the concubine's own flesh and blood!"

If the jade certificate was changed and she died again, how could Yinti remember her as a pro-mother in the future?

"You really are still selfish in your bones." Kangxi suddenly smiled, "Just for the future of Yinqi, you should beg me to change the jade certificate for him."

In this way, Yinti would not have a biological mother who was given to death for his sins. When he grows up, the time has passed, and maybe he will never know that he has such an unbearable biological mother in his whole life.

In the end, in order for Yinzhen to remember her, she actually begged him not to change the jade certificate for Wanmei and Yinzhen?

Jinghao is right, she loves herself the most, she plots against Jinghao, and even tries to murder Baokang, it's not all because of Aizi, it's just under this cover.

-

After returning to Jingxiu Palace, Cherry and the others took off the jewelry on Jinghao's body, fetched water and washed her face.

"Master, I really didn't expect that nobleman... No, it should be Nalashi. Nalashi looks weak, but she has a heart of snakes and scorpions behind her back."

Cherry helped Jinghao put her hair down, and said, "Fortunately, you and Yinyou elder brother Ji are good friends, so you were not harmed by a heartless person like Nala, otherwise it would be really unfair."

From Cherry's point of view, their master is indeed favored, but he is not arrogant, let alone bullying others. As for their little master, he is even more innocent.

In the end, Nalashi was able to do it too. Isn't this a rotten heart?

"I didn't expect her to be such a person." Jing Hao thought, and she didn't expect that the nobleman would deal with her and Baokang twice because of such nonsense.

What does it mean that a dog that can bite does not bark? Jing Hao finally realized it.

Don't say it's quiet, even the people in the palace have seen it. What happened today is really unbelievable, but for Nala's fate, few people can sympathize with her Come.

Especially Concubine Jing, after knowing Nala's true face today, she couldn't help feeling terrified even when she was angry. Fortunately, she used to think that Nala was honest and honest, but who knew that she was actually a poisonous snake?

Thinking of her smiling at her on the surface, but secretly trying to murder her, Concubine Jing felt horrified.

Liuli said: "Master, it's no wonder that Nala has been encouraging you and Concubine Zhen to have sex with her before. I dare say she wants to take the opportunity to blame you for all the bad things she did."

"Master, you were lucky this time, so you didn't suffer from Nala's tricks, but you may not have such a chance next time."

In fact, Liu Li never wanted Concubine Jing to find trouble for Jing Hao, because as an outsider, she saw it too clearly, no matter whether she could find trouble for Jing Hao, she would never be able to regain her favor.

That being the case, why should she confront Jinghao for no reason?

On the surface, it is indeed her who is causing trouble for her, but how do you know that it is not she who is actually causing trouble for herself?

This is also due to the fact that Liuli has gotten the attention of Jingbi, otherwise the same words from other slaves will only provoke Jingbi's anger for nothing, not like now——

Concubine Jing fell into silence because of Liuli's words.

On the other side of the Yonghe Palace, Noble Wuya and Jinchai Yinchai, their master and servant, are also having a conversation. When they are outside, they have to guard against having ears on the wall, but after returning to the Yonghe Palace, Yinchai can't wait to ask Noble Wuya : "My lord, you are indeed helping the concubine Zhen find out the culprit Nala, but will the concubine Zhen really agree to speak well to the emperor for you and help you reset?"

"Now that she owes me a favor, naturally she won't refuse me easily." Wu Yagui said kindly, "After all, she doesn't want to be cheap, right?"

"That's right." Yinchai thought, if Concubine Zhen really wanted to get something cheap, they seemed to have no choice but to press her head and ask her to reset the young master, right?

"Yinchai, you are worrying unnecessarily." Jinchai smiled from the side, "Young master, she has no plans, so how could she miss it?"

"We should now wish the little master to get what he wanted and successfully reset, so that your hard work will not be in vain, young master."

Hearing Jinchai's words, nobleman Wu Ya smiled, her hard work was not in vain.
