Chapter 94 Decision
Everything is peaceful and calm in the Qianqing Palace, but the harem is different from the Qianqing Palace.
In addition to Concubine De who was sitting in her palace with a dazed look on her face, there was another person who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Yanxi Palace.
"Chunxiang, please help me think about what to do now." Concubine Hui was so anxious that her eyebrows were burning with anxiety. "Why did the emperor investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs for no reason? Will our affairs be discovered?"
Concubine Hui grabbed Chunxiang's arm with both hands. Chunxiang's arm was so painful that her hand must be swollen again.
"Your Majesty, let's not panic for now. If the Emperor had found out, he would have come to you to question you. How could it be possible that everything is calm right now?"
Chunxiang calmly freed her hand from Huifei's grasp, "The most important thing for us right now is to clean up the mess and make sure that Lord Hailason keeps his mouth shut."
Concubine Hui's eyes became fierce, and she wiped her neck with her hand, "You mean..."
Chunxiang nodded affirmatively.
"No, no, no, if we do this and get discovered, we'll be finished! I and Yinzhi, no! Absolutely not."
"If something happens to me, what will Yinzhi do?"
"I'd better do as you said and go clean up the tail."
Seeing that Chunxiang did not move immediately, Concubine Hui urged: "Go, why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes, madam."
Chunxiang went out, leaving Concubine Hui alone in the palace. She picked her fingers from time to time, stood up and turned around on the spot from time to time, looking uneasy.
Chunxiang, who was on her way to clean up, felt helpless about following such a master. She was always timid in doing things, but she wanted everything.
Not ruthless enough but stupid enough. What's the point of cleaning up the mess now? The biggest flaw is in the hands of the emperor.
Never mind, he is the master after all.
In the Qianqing Palace, Yuying hesitated but didn't say a word.
"Aying, just say whatever you want to say."
"Your Majesty, is it true that the book says that Lord Hirasun is working for Concubine Hui?"
I didn't expect Concubine Hui to be so bold that she actually started planning for the eldest prince and winning over people. She even dared to reach out to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make huge money.
Kangxi nodded.
"So how does the emperor plan to deal with Concubine Hui?"
Kangxi paused. This was the reason why he had not issued an edict to convict the person. The matter involved two of his concubines, both of whom had children. Kangxi was unable to make a decision for the time being.
This punishment is too heavy. After all, she is the biological mother of the prince. He does not want his princes to have a tainted mother, especially Yinzhi, who is his eldest son. He has to consider Yinzhi's face. But if the punishment is too light, he will feel unhappy.
"I haven't thought about it yet, does Aying have any suggestions?"
Kangxi wanted to hear Yuying's opinion on Concubine Hui.
"Ah? Me?" Yuying didn't expect Kangxi to ask her back, so she lowered her head and began to think.
To be fair, she didn't like Concubine Hui, after all, she was a very utilitarian person. But she really couldn't bring herself to convict Concubine Hui.
[But Concubine Hui should be fine, after all, she lived until the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign.]
[I don’t know if history is changing, will the Eighth Prince still side with the First Prince, and then be affected by the First Prince and become unpopular with Emperor Kangxi.]
This is getting off topic again.
"Why don't Your Majesty go meet Concubine Hui to see what her attitude is. It won't be too late to make a decision then." Yuying suggested.
Kangxi actually listened to Yuying's advice and went to the Yanx Palace.
Concubine Hui didn't know that Kangxi was on his way. When she saw Chunxiang finally coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How is it? Is everything done?"
Chunxiang nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, Madam!"
Concubine Hui patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good." She felt like she had survived a calamity.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
Liang Jiugong's voice rang out.
Concubine Hui's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly became tense. The person she was most afraid of seeing at this moment was Kangxi.
Concubine Hui jumped up from the couch in shock, her face showing panic, "What should I do? What should I do, Chunxiang? Do you think the emperor knows something? Is the emperor here to question me?" Concubine Hui's expression suddenly became vicious, "Didn't you tell me that you had dealt with it? Why is the emperor coming to Yanxi Palace now?"
Seeing that Concubine Hui was already panicking and immersed in her own world, Chunxiang had no choice but to shout loudly: "Your Majesty! Calm down! The Emperor will be in soon. Do you want to face the Emperor like this?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I can't lose my composure." Concubine Hui smoothed her clothes and combed her hair. "How is it? Does it look okay to me?"
Chunxiang gave Huifei an affirmative answer.
When Kangxi came in, he saw Concubine Hui standing with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Kangxi didn't let her get up. He sat down on the couch and gave Concubine Hui his first look after he came in.
Concubine Hui was so frightened by this look that her face turned pale and her heart sank, but she still managed to keep her balance and waited for Kangxi to call her.
"Do you know why I came here today?"
"I don't know."
"Then how about I remind you?" Kangxi said kindly, uttering three words, "House of Internal Affairs."
Seeing Kangxi’s words so clearly, Concubine Hui suddenly lost her color and fell to her knees, “Your Majesty! I won’t dare to do it again! Never again! Please forgive me this time!”
Concubine Hui knelt on the ground, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.
"Then tell me, what have you done to make me forgive you?"
After Kangxi finished speaking, Concubine Hui poured out all the things she had done, and even became indignant at the end, "Yinzhi is the eldest son! He is outstanding in every way, why should he be inferior to the crown prince in everything? I don't accept it!"
Seeing Concubine Hui like this, Kangxi frowned. With such a mother, it was no wonder that Yinzhi had such a competitive personality.
Kangxi would never admit that he had his own reasons.
Kangxi thought again of the Eighth Prince who was raised by Concubine Hui, and the issue of taking sides in the fight for the throne that Yuying had mentioned in her mind. Perhaps Concubine Hui's temperament was too bad to keep the Eighth Prince in her care, so as not to corrupt his character.
The thought that had been pent up in Kangxi's heart arose again at the right time.
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she covered her mouth in horror. How could she say what was in her heart?
At this moment, Concubine Hui didn't dare to look at how ugly Kangxi's expression was.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...I just lost my mind..." Concubine Hui tried to make excuses for herself.
Kangxi suppressed his thoughts, looked at Concubine Hui who was kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Yanx Palace.
After Kangxi left, Concubine Hui could no longer kneel and sat on the ground, muttering, "It's over, everything is over..."
Chunxiang stood aside, not daring to step forward for fear of incurring Concubine Hui's anger.
