Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 66

Kangxi saw that their words were confused, and immediately became furious, and ordered someone to drag them out and beat them severely.Although these palace maids are just slaves, they have served the noble master after entering the palace, and they have not done any heavy work. After a few beatings, they breathe in more and breathe out less.At this time, they were finally willing to tell the truth.

That is who Concubine Rong met at that night, whether it was her brother Acton, they really didn't know.Only it was a young man, and he was hardly seen during the day.

Of course he didn't dare to show up during the day.Even if Acton was Concubine Rong's younger brother, he could not come in and out of places like the harem at will, let alone at night.So Ma Jiashi didn't understand one thing from the very beginning—whether the young man was her younger brother Acton or not, there was only one dead end waiting for Acton.

If so, he deserved it.If not, then he must also be a scapegoat for the royal dignity.Kangxi would rather declare that his concubine violated the palace rules because he missed his relatives too much, rather than admit that he was cuckolded.

All the clues have been cut off.Xuan Ye had no intention of pestering them anymore, and was thinking about how to deal with them, when the court lady Cuilan suddenly ran out in a panic, and shouted, "It's bad! Big brother, he's vomiting blood!"

"What?" The emperor was the most anxious to hear the news, after all, Xuan Ye only had Cheng Rui as his son.He no longer cared about the chaos here, and strode towards Big Brother's room.Ma Jiashi was worried and couldn't help twisting her body, but she was bound tightly and couldn't move.

The guard at the side couldn't help scolding when they saw it, and was about to warn her to be more stable, but was stopped by Rong Huang's birth: "Oh, after all, they are the biological mother and child, let her go and see."

The guards Qiqi responded "Yes", and one of them stepped forward to untie her, and Ma Jiashi was able to escape.

Hesheli sneered at the side and said: "What kind of bodhisattva heart is pretending to be a noble concubine? According to this palace, the elder brother was caused by you to become like this!"

Rong Huang turned slightly to the side, and said with a half-smile: "Oh, is that so? Cuilan just said that elder brother vomited blood, but before she said why, the empress already knew that someone had harmed elder brother. Elder brother? Could it be... This is a good thing done by the empress?"

"You!" Hershey glared at Rong Huang bitterly, but because she was wronged, she couldn't say anything after all, so she had to chase the emperor angrily.

After Hesheli Fang'er led the people away, Rong Huang slowly put away his expression, and gave a cold order: "Take Al Keshan into custody first, and then send someone to arrest Ma Jiashi's younger brother Actun!"

The subordinates led away, and Rong Huang temporarily relaxed and walked to the room where the elder brother was.Jing Yi hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhao, what should I do with that girl Su Yi?"

Rong Huang's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "She made the emperor see Ma Jia's family clearly, she is a hero. It's just that the scandal of the concubine's affair must not be spread, so..." She stopped slightly, looked deeply Glancing at Jing Yi, she sighed, "Jing Yi, you shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing."

Jing Yi immediately took a deep breath.She originally wanted to say that Su Yi belonged to them, but soon Jing Yi realized that what Rong Huang said was right, as Niu Hulu's confidant, she shouldn't try to keep someone who threatened the interests of her master.Even if Rong Huang's heart softened because of her pleading, keeping Su Yi would be nothing but a disaster.

When the Ma Jia family framed Rong Huang last time, Su Yi's report was indispensible to them against Ma Jia Anmin.But at the same time, a fact was already doomed - this Suyi couldn't stay.

"Your servant understands." Jing Yi was ordered to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Rong Huang: "Wait a minute."

Jing Yi raised her head suspiciously, and found that her master was trembling slightly: "Remember to treat her family well, it's best to let them hide for a while, so as not to be discovered by the emperor and have to kill the grass."

It's such a contradiction again.

It was she who was going to kill, she was the one who was cruel, and now it was her who couldn't bear it.

Jing Yi responded, and suddenly felt a little sad, and there was some inexplicable distress.She knew that Rong Huang was killing her own conscience with her own hands.

She suddenly remembered something: "Master, it's strange, aren't those maids outside the Ma Jia family? Why do they say they saw the man in black entering the Ma Jia's palace? They just say they don't know or see it, Ma Jia Aren't Shi and Acton all right now?"

Rong Huang explained in a low voice as she walked: "There are only two reasons for them to say this. One, they were bribed. The other... is that what they saw was the truth, and they really didn't see the man's face I just let Suyi lure them to see a fact, so they are telling the truth." Speaking of this, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "Now these are not important anymore. The important thing is this time The Jia family is finished, and the Hershey family will also be finished."

Jing Yi didn't ask any more questions, and quietly retreated to deal with Su Yi's affairs.As soon as Rong Huang stepped into the house, Kangxi kicked the eunuch who was serving the elder brother angrily, and scolded angrily: "Useless thing! How did you serve him? Why did the elder brother get poisoned?"

Hesheli looked anxious, and kept persuading: "Your majesty, it's useless for you to vent your anger on your slaves. Be careful that you lose your temper! The most important thing now is to find the murderer who poisoned Eldest Brother, and we must not let the murderer go unpunished!" "

"Shut up for me!" Xuan Ye was angry and didn't give her any good looks, "I haven't said you yet, how did you take care of Chengrui? If you didn't only care about your own stomach, Chengrui Will anything happen to Ray?"

"Your majesty, my concubine..." Hesheli wanted to say more, when she suddenly saw Rong Huang walking in gracefully with the maid's hand in her hand, she was suddenly out of breath, and was about to scold, when suddenly she heard a gentle and moving The voice sounded not far away: "Greetings to the emperor and queen, and blessings to the imperial concubine and empress."

It turned out to be Tong, the concubine Yi who lives in seclusion.Not only that, she was followed by Huigui's Nalan Shi, Pinggui's Heshelishi and others, it seemed that they all came to join in the fun after hearing the news.

Kangxi was not in the mood to talk to them, Hesheli was just pregnant and had a bad temper, so Ronghuang excused them, and they stood up and stepped aside.

Rong Huang looked at the elder brother with a dark complexion, and then silently looked at Ping Guiren, the two nodded silently at each other, Rong Huang then took a few steps forward, pulled Xuan Ye to persuade: " Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to detoxify Eldest Brother. There are so many people here, and the concubines are afraid of disturbing the imperial physician for treatment, which is not conducive to Eldest Brother's rest, why don't we go out for another trial?"

Xuan Ye nodded, and moved to the flower hall next door to track down the murderer.

He pulled Rong Huang to sit beside him, and Hesheli was embarrassed for a moment, so he stood there, and his eyes were red with reluctance: "Your Majesty, after thinking about it, the elder brother became like this because of Concubine Zhao. Yes, do you still favor her now?"

"Nonsense!" Xuan Ye slapped the case and said angrily: "I haven't blamed you for looking down on Eldest Brother, but you have the idea of ​​a noble concubine instead?"

"Your majesty, listen to my concubine! Eldest Brother has been here for so long and has always been fine. Why did he suddenly get poisoned? The concubine thought it was strange, so the concubine carefully thought about what was different from the usual Suddenly, it occurred to Concubine Zhao that she came to Changchun Palace today, and she insisted on hugging elder brother. Although the concubine thought it was abnormal at the time, Concubine Zhao said that she always wanted a son very much, so she begged the concubine for a long time. The concubine has no choice but to let her hold the elder brother for a while..."

"Nonsense!" Ru Lan couldn't help but interjected, "It's clear that you are the one who begged our master to hug eldest brother!"

Hesheli was furious when he heard the words: "The masters are talking, why do you have a servant to interrupt? Is your master guilty of doing something bad? Come, drag this lowly servant down and beat him to death!"

"Queen!" Rong Huang stood up suddenly, grabbed her arm pointing at Rulan, and said word by word: "Don't bully me too much!"

Fang'er suddenly burst out laughing when she heard the words: "Haha, it's so funny, I'm bullying too much? Concubine Zhao, why are you still pretending to be pitiful? You were the one who poisoned Changchun Palace! Big Brother seeks justice!"

"Okay, this is what you said. Empress, don't regret it." Right after Rong Huang finished speaking, she could clearly feel Fang'er's body trembling uncontrollably.It seems that who is guilty is not certain?She couldn't help but sneered in her ear, and then raised her voice: "The queen said that elder brother was killed by me, where is the evidence?"

Hesheli replied without hesitation: "I don't have the evidence now, but I will find out if you search your body! Since the imperial concubine is so calm, why don't you let someone search you?"

If he met a simple-minded person, in order to prove his innocence, he might be searched in a hurry.But Rong Huang was not so easy to deal with, she couldn't help laughing when she heard what the queen said: "What if the searchers randomly add things to Ben Gong?"

Hesheli's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he glanced at Ping Guiren almost subconsciously.

In fact, this was their original plan.Forced Rong Huang to prove his innocence, and then took the opportunity to frame her.Then, taking advantage of the emperor's fury to convict her, this can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only solved the elder brother who was a threat to the throne, but also got rid of the unsightly Concubine Zhao.
