Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 65

Rong Huang looked down at her condescendingly, and asked calmly: "Ma Jia is always here, can you admit that you have an affair with the guard?"

Of course, Ma Jia shook her head desperately: "No! The concubine is only here to see her son, she doesn't know anything else!"

Rong Huang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Even if you want to see elder brother, you shouldn't do that. The emperor grounded you for half a year, and now you are disobeying the imperial decree by going out of the palace, can you bear the crime?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Before Ma Jiashi could speak, Xuan Ye sneered and said, "A few men in black were caught outside, and a dozen or so escaped, it should be you, Ma Jiashi." My servant? Well, good of you, Ma Jia Anmin! My concubine dares to raise secret guards under my nose...Ma Jia, you are so courageous!"

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged!" Ma Jia stepped forward on her knees, pleading pitifully, "My concubine is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, how could she raise any secret guards? Those, those are Heshe Are you someone from Mr. Li? Maybe...the empress is more aware of this than concubines."

"You!" Seeing Ma Jiashi biting people indiscriminately, Hesheli was furious, and couldn't help cursing: "What nonsense are you talking about! It's a waste of my kindness to plead for you, you are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin!" Know a good heart! Your Majesty, you have to deal with this little bitch severely!"

"Shut up, everyone!" The emperor always hated dealing with matters in the harem, and it became very annoying for a while.Rong Huang thought for a while, and suddenly said softly: "It doesn't matter, those people caught in the first trial will know who they belong to."

Xuan Ye shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, they're all dead."

Rong Huang smiled comfortingly, and said softly: "That's okay, even if you die, there is still a corpse..."

Ma Jiashi suddenly took a deep breath: "Imperial Concubine, what do you mean?"

Rong Huang smiled harmlessly: "What does Chang Zai think I mean?"

Hesheli couldn't wait to get rid of the charges, and complained uncontrollably: "It's a mystery!"

Rong Huang was not annoyed, and still had a calm expression: "Actually, it's nothing difficult. Not long ago, there was an extra maid in Yikun Palace, named Shiqi. Before that, because of the incident of Yi's younger sister falling into the water, She was implicated and sent to work in Xinzheku. A few days ago, she heard that Wei Xi was referred to Yikun Palace by Bengong for interrogation, so she came here spontaneously, saying that she wanted to seek asylum."

When she said this, Ma Jiashi's complexion turned pale, and he paused every word tremblingly: "You...you hurt me!"

Rong Huang blinked, smiled and said: "I didn't say a word that was not good for Chang Zai, why should Chang Zai feel guilty? Oh, I almost forgot, Shiqi used to be your confidant, if she doesn't Knowing those dead guards means that they have nothing to do with you, right? After a while, I will clear you of the crime, how can you thank me, good sister?"

Ma Jia Anmin suddenly felt something shatter in her heart, even when she knew her son was critically ill, she was never so panicked.The son can be reborn after death, but what about the power she cultivated so hard?What about the emperor's trust in her?If these things are lost, they can never be regained!

"Ma Jia is always here, you look like you want to cry." Rong Huang reminded her with a smile: "But you can't cry. You are the elder brother's mother, and he is sick right now. When you cry, it is equivalent to cursing He dies."

In fact, Ma Jia is cursing Niu Hulu and Hesheli to die in his heart.The Hesheli family has long been hated by the emperor, she can say it, but what about the Niu Hulu family?
She looked at Ronghuang from head to toe, and suddenly felt chills all over her body.Because she discovered that this Niu Hulu family has almost no weaknesses!

If you can't seduce her with Mr. Nalan, you can't kill her with poison, and she has no children, and she has nothing to worry about in the palace. This - this is really too difficult to deal with!Ma Jiashi is very smart, but she used to be too confident with her advantages of rebirth and space, and always looked down on others from above. She never thought that while she was strong, her enemies and her opponents would be even stronger!

Moreover, Rong Huang occupied almost all of Xuan Ye's favor, which made Ma Jia unbearable at all...

Shiqi and Wei Xi were quickly brought over, and they pointed out that the dead guards outside were all Ma Jia Anmin's dead soldiers.Originally, what the two servants said did not have much credibility, but firstly, Shiqi was Ma Jiashi’s former confidant, and secondly, Ma Jiashi had just committed such a scandal as having an affair. Kangxi was suspicious by nature, and it was almost confirmed that it was This Ma Jiashi has evil intentions.

"You have vicious thoughts, framed the imperial concubine, and falsely preached the imperial decree. I would like to spare your life for the sake of elder brother. Who would have thought that not only did you not want to repent, but you left the palace without authorization during the confinement period, and did something that would shame the royal family. You, you really... Do you really think that you, the Ma Jia clan, have contributed to supporting my own government, and that I can do nothing to you?"

Originally Ma Jia's Amagaishan ran around for Kangxi's pro-government. The emperor was somewhat moved. Not only did he and his sons be promoted to rank, but he also planned to restore Ma Jia's concubine.I didn't expect Ma Jiashi to be so restless, but after half a year of confinement, she couldn't help but come out and steal men!Or when his son was seriously ill... he simply had no shame!
"Your Majesty, concubine, concubine did not do it, concubine was wronged!" Ma Jia thought for a moment, put away the hideous expression just now, lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everyone around you said that the minister A concubine can't bear the loneliness in the deep palace, but you -- don't you know what a concubine is? Don't you remember that day when you came to Zhongcui Palace to be tender with your concubine..."

After being reminded by Ma Jia Anmin, Kangxi suddenly remembered something.A few days ago, he had just been in charge, Huigui was pregnant, and Rong Huang caught up with the young life again.He drank too much wine and had no one to serve him, so he planned to go to Chengqian Palace to see Concubine Yi, who knew that he accidentally went to Ma Jiashi's place.

Seeing him coming, Ma Jiashi was willing to let him go, and tried her best to trick Kangxi into the house.He went in and saw that there were steaming meals on the table.The food is not exquisite, but according to Ma Jiashi, she cooked it herself.There are always two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, which means that her heart is always open for him and waiting for him.

Xuan Ye's heart was not made of iron. Seeing her lying low and making a small appearance like this, he felt a little pitiful for An Min.Ma Jiashi saw that there was something going on, so he tried his best to get him drunk and dragged him to bed.After the emperor woke up, he neither blamed her nor pampered her. If she hadn't mentioned it today, Xuan Ye would have forgotten about it.

Ma Jia Anmin is indeed infatuated with him, so this matter...could it be a misunderstanding?

Kangxi raised his head, his gaze wandered between Alkshan and Ma Jia Anmin uncertainly.Just at this time, Suyi, the court lady, suddenly crawled out on her knees, and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, forgive me! This servant is Ma Jia's personal servant, and I have something important to report!"

Xuan Ye frowned slightly, and immediately said: "Say!"

Suyi first glanced at Ma Jia Anmin timidly, then said stammeringly: "Actually, Ma Jia's affairs with Master Hesheli often... It's not just a day or two..."

"You!" Aljishan was furious: "You lowly servant girl, what nonsense are you talking about! This is the first time I've seen Ma Jia often around!"

"Shut up for me! You are still an imperial guard, how can you let me yell in front of me?" Xuan Ye frowned and said, "Come on, shut his mouth up."

Alkshan whimpered wildly, but couldn't say another word.

Suyi was proud of herself, but she still looked terrified: "When I was the master of Concubine Rong, Mr. Aljishan often sneaked into Zhongcui Palace at night...that pair of bowls and chopsticks are not Always prepared for the emperor..."

Xuan Ye's face suddenly turned livid, and the hesitation in his heart just now because of the old relationship disappeared immediately.

Rong Huang interjected at the right time: "Do you have evidence for what you said?"

Suyi nodded: "Although the servant girl is not the master's confidant, she also knows that the master has hidden guards. About a few days before the master's accident, a group of hidden guards escorted a young son into the master's bedroom one night... At that time Not only the servants saw it, but also all the maids in Zhongcui Palace could see it clearly."

Hearing this, Ma Jia Anmin suddenly laughed: "That man is my younger brother Acton!"

"That's right, this servant also thought it was your younger brother Lord Acton. However, it was so dark at that time, we only saw a young master. You are the master, so naturally you will be whoever you say." Su Not to be outdone, Yi retorted.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Rong Huang said indifferently: "Come here, go and find all the servants and maidservants who served in Zhongcui Palace in the past and confront them, don't make any noise."

De'an and the others from Yikun Palace responded and immediately took action.It didn't take long for seven or eight little palace ladies to be escorted over.At the beginning, everyone's rhetoric was consistent with that of Ma Jiashi, insisting that it was Ma Jiashi's younger brother Actun who came to Zhongcui Palace on weekdays and nights.But under Suyi's repeated reminders, the little girls suddenly wavered.

They looked at the lofty imperial concubine and Ma Jiachang, who was trampled on the ground like mud, and immediately made a decision in their hearts, one by one scrambling to defect.
