After half a cup of tea, several burly eunuchs appeared.
Carrying them, one, two, three, four, the four people entered the main hall of Chengqian Palace.
There was one woman and three men, or more precisely, two men and a young eunuch.
When Emperor Kangxi saw this, his jaw dropped in astonishment.
"Liang Jiugong, what happened?"
After taking a sip of tea, Kangxi suppressed his shock and looked at Liang Jiugong with a serious expression.
Liang Jiugong sighed deeply, and with a look of utter despair, he respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, in Consort Gong's bedchamber, this palace maid is currently indulging in passionate lovemaking with Lord Longkodo, palace guard Wei Chang'an, and eunuch Wei Zhu, oblivious to the world around them."
"puff,"
Emperor Kangxi spat out his tea, his face filled with shock.
This is way too exaggerated!
This palace maid looks delicate and beautiful, so why is she so crazy? Longkodo, a palace guard.
And there was also Wei Zhu, the young eunuch from the Qianqing Palace…
The Empress was equally shocked, her mouth agape.
Consort Gong had already fainted again when Liang Jiugong led the four men into the palace. At this moment, she was slumped in a chair, her life hanging in the balance.
Wuya Chenyu lowered her head and knelt on the ground.
Inside the main hall of Chengqian Palace, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long while, Wuya Chenyu raised her head, tears streaming down her face, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must do justice for me! I was ordered by Consort Gong to wait in the bedchamber to serve Your Majesty, but Lord Longkodo and this guard suddenly came into the bedchamber."
"And this little eunuch, this servant's innocent body, now..."
Wuya Chenyu knew that things had come to this point and the tide had turned. After much thought, she concluded that the most likely culprit preventing her from becoming a concubine and enjoying wealth and honor was Consort Gong.
So, Wuya Chenyu chose to give up entirely.
Consort Gong slowly turned her eyes, about to open them, when she happened to hear Wu Ya Chen Yu's tearful accusation. After weighing her options, she chose to keep her eyes closed and pretend to be unconscious.
Emperor Kangxi's face was so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it, and he remained silent.
The Empress coughed lightly and said in a cold voice, "So, according to you, it was Longkodo, this guard, and this little eunuch who bullied you?"
"How can you prove that they bullied you, and that you did it willingly?"
Wuya Chenyu's face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the incense in Consort Gong's bedchamber?"
"The incense was lit in the bedroom by Consort Gong. After I lit it, I felt dizzy and hot all over, and my body was out of my control."
Upon hearing this, the Empress gave a wink to Caiyue and Lianxing beside her.
Longkodo and his guard Wei Chang'an hung their heads, their minds racing as they tried to figure out how to escape.
Longkodo thought to himself that if it were just him, he could ask his cousin, the emperor, to give him the fish as a wife or concubine.
But the bigger picture is that, besides himself, there was also that damned guard.
The most disgusting thing is that there was also that eunuch...
The guard Wei Chang'an quickly pondered for a moment, then kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant doesn't know what happened. This servant was invited by Consort Gong to meet her tonight."
"This servant thought the person in the bedchamber was Consort Gong. My head was spinning at the time, and I mistook this young lady for Consort Gong. This servant deserves to die!"
After saying that, Wei Chang'an broke free of his restraints and crashed into a pillar to the side.
The incident happened in an instant. By the time Kangxi, Liang Jiugong, and the others reacted, Wei Chang'an was already on his last breath. Wei Chang'an looked at Consort Gong with a face full of longing.
"Yu'er, I'm going now..."
Longkodo was shocked and incredulous, while Wuya Chenyu's eyes darted around.
In the end, Wuya Chenyu made a bold decision: to go all out.
Wuya Chenyu kowtowed repeatedly and said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, I know I deserve to die. I should not have been bewitched by Consort Gong, and I should not have kept Consort Gong's secret with Guard Wei for the sake of wealth and honor."
"Consort Gong has been having private dealings with Guard Wei. Several times late at night, I have seen Guard Wei enter Consort Gong's bedchamber..."
Taking a deep breath, Wu Ya Chenyu gritted her teeth.
"Your Majesty, do you remember a month ago? That day you were drunk, and Consort Gong said she didn't want to serve you, so she asked me to serve her instead."
"This servant is pregnant; I am already one month along."
Uya Chenyu has once again dropped a bombshell.
At this moment, the Empress felt extremely regretful, regretting that she shouldn't have thought of watching Consort Gong's downfall and came to Chengqian Palace in the middle of the night.
If I hadn't come to Chengqian Palace, I wouldn't have known about these things.
This concerns the Emperor and Consort Gong. Although I am the Empress, I shouldn't know this!
Consort Gong pretended to be unconscious. After listening to Wuya Chenyu and the guard she didn't even know, she was splashed with dirty water. She almost bit her teeth to pieces as she prepared to wake up.
My eyelids twitched, and I slowly woke up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, what has happened? How come someone has died?"
The Empress gave Consort Gong a meaningful look, and wisely chose to keep her mouth shut and remain silent.
After a long silence, Emperor Kangxi coldly ordered, "Consort Gong caught a cold last night. She shall rest in bed from today onwards. Chengqian Palace shall be closed to visitors."
"Longkodo, having entered the palace without permission and defiled the inner quarters, was punished with fifty strokes of the cane and exiled to Ningguta for five years. (The palace maids...)"
