"How is that possible? I have always kept my public and private lives separate. How could I possibly do such things? Don't worry."
"I can testify that what the Emperor said is true. Mother, don't worry. If the Emperor doesn't keep his word, I will be the first to disagree."
Kangxi suddenly felt that what he was holding in his arms was not a sweet little girl, but a little devil with two devil horns on his head.
Mu Sili did not hold on to the matter, but waited for Liang Jiugong to hand over the truth he had found out to Kangxi and see his attitude to see if he would take action.
In order to make Kangxi believe that what he found was the truth, Liang Jiugong checked three times before reporting the final result to Kangxi.
When Kangxi saw that it was indeed Depin who instructed others to frame Rongpin, he became angry.
"Did the Wuya clan think that with the emergence of a Depin, their family would rise to prominence?
They plotted and schemed in the harem to frame my concubines and murder my offspring. Do they think I am a fool and that this matter cannot be traced back to them?
Liang Jiugong, send people to surround the Yonghe Palace for me, and then order the clan office to investigate the entire Uya family.
I want to know if they have done anything other than harm my concubines and offspring that is against the will of Heaven and earth."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After Liang Jiugong left, Kangxi looked at the evidence in front of him again.
Depin, you really disappoint me. I was thinking of raising your family's reputation after you give birth this time, but now it seems that it is more appropriate to send them to the clan house.
And you, wait until the child is born and then die of illness. I don't need a useless person in my harem who plots to murder my offspring.
When Liang Jiugong reported what Uya had done among the people, Kangxi was already prepared.
However, after seeing Uya oppressing the people, forcibly abducting women, buying and selling official positions, and even killing people at will, Kangxi could no longer tolerate it.
"Come here, drag all the people involved in the Uya clan incident to the Meridian Gate and behead them!"
Liang Jiugong felt very happy, but the matter had not been made public yet. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to just behead the person?
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to the Cining Palace."
The Empress Dowager? What did the Empress Dowager want him to do at this time? But he was a filial grandson, so he got up and went to the Cining Palace without hesitation.
When I arrived at the Cining Palace, I saw Mu Sili already sitting there, but she didn't look very good.
He was a little confused. What happened?
"Greetings to Mam."
"Xuanye is here, please sit down."
"This concubine pays respects to the Emperor."
"You're pregnant, why don't you stay in Zhongcui Palace and take care of your baby? Why are you bothering the Queen Mother?"
"I haven't come to pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager since I became pregnant. The weather is nice today, so I came to pay my respects to her."
Kangxi knew that Mu Sili was lying. He had seen clearly during the three months of getting along with her that when she was in a bad mood, she liked to say nice things and made it impossible to find fault with her.
Now she keeps saying that she came to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager on her own initiative, which already shows that it was the Empress Dowager who asked her to come today.
Otherwise, with her lazy nature, she was too lazy to even go to the nearest Imperial Garden, so how could she come to the farther Cining Palace?
"It's enough that you have this intention, but you are pregnant with multiple babies. For safety reasons, it's better for you to come less often."
"Yes, I understand."
After hearing Kangxi defending her, Mu Sili's depressed mood improved a lot, but she remembered that Xiaozhuang had set her sights on her child.
"Madam, why did you call me here so hastily?"
Xiaozhuang was a little unhappy when she heard Kangxi defending Rongpin, but she couldn't bring it up now. After all, she was old, and Kangxi was not as easy to control as he was in previous years.
"I heard that Concubine Rong was pregnant with multiple babies, so I thought of bringing the children to the Cining Palace to raise after Concubine Rong gave birth.
This Zhongcui Palace already has a princess and a prince, and raising another prince or princess would easily arouse jealousy."
After hearing her words, Kangxi finally understood why Mu Sili looked so unhappy just now. You know, she attached great importance to the offspring in her belly.
"My Royal Madam, I don't think this is appropriate. Since I have already stipulated that concubines and above can raise their own children, I must keep my word.
Since Rongpin holds the rank of concubine, she has the right to give birth and raise her own children, and I will not interfere."
Mu Sili showed a look of satisfaction, while Xiaozhuang's eyes darkened.
Why didn’t I notice before that Xuanye attached so much importance to Concubine Rong? When did it start?
However, Concubine Rong was really a ruthless character. After ten years of being favored, she was clearly on the verge of falling out of favor, but she suddenly regained favor.
No, there can't be another Dong Efei in the palace. If Xuanye favors Rongpin, don't blame her for killing Rongpin.
And now she suspected that Rongpin was possessed by a vixen, because her eyes looked more and more like a fox's, and she always had an unintentional alluring look in her eyes.
For the sake of royal peace, Concubine Rong had to be on guard.
"Since you think Rongpin should give birth to the child herself, I won't say anything. However, with so many children, it's inevitable that I will be partial. Why not send Yinzhi over here so that I can help take care of him?"
"My Queen, Yinzhi is already three years old. I plan to teach him myself. Baocheng said he feels lonely living alone in Yuqing Palace, so I'll let Yinzhi go and keep him company.
You care so much about Baocheng, you probably can't bear to see him alone."
Xiaozhuang had already realized that Kangxi came here just to help Rongpin carry out his plans.
Concubine Rong...I'm afraid she can't be kept.
After all, the child in her belly is the continuation of his bloodline. In that case, let her live for a few more months. Then she will die of hemorrhage like Hesheli.
As for what to do with the newborn baby? Naturally, she would bring it to her and raise it.
Xuanye doesn't have many children yet, so raising a child by his side now will be a help in the future.
For Xiaozhuang, although Kangxi was her grandson, Khorchin was the most important, and everything she did was for Khorchin.
"Your Majesty, Grand Empress Dowager, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. Rongxian and Yinzhi are still waiting for me in Zhongcui Palace."
Xiaozhuang was a little unhappy. Before she could finish her words, Rongpin actually asked to leave.
As expected, the gap between being favored and not being favored is huge. How could Rongpin dare to speak like this when she was not favored in the past?
"Go back. I'll accompany you. You're pregnant and shouldn't go out too often. If you have nothing to do, just stay in Zhongcui Palace to take care of your baby. If you get bored, I'll find you something fun to do to pass the time."
"Yes, I thank the Emperor."
Xiaozhuang never expected that her always filial grandson would take Concubine Rong away without even asking her a single question. She was so angry that she beat her chest.
"Su Ma, look at this, look at this, this Rongpin is definitely the next Dong Efei."
