At the Tong family, Tong Guowei was extremely nervous. He had the same feeling when Empress Dowager Tong died. He felt it was a bit unlucky.
"Where's the Madam? Ask her to come over. I have something to ask her."
"yes."
Mrs. Tong rushed over, she was also panicked, always feeling that a disaster was about to happen to her family.
"Master, what do you want from me? I've been feeling a bit nervous today. Do you think anything's wrong?"
Tong Guowei was in a very bad state. Even his wife felt the same way. It seemed that his perception was correct. The Tong family was probably in great trouble.
But they haven't done anything harmful recently, so why do they feel this way? Could it be because of the Tonggiya clan?
Thinking of what she said before entering the palace, Tong Guowei's head was buzzing. She must have drugged Kangxi because she was out of favor. But it was just drugging, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"Madam, do you know what the Queen is doing in the palace?"
Mrs. Tong's eyes flickered slightly. She knew a little bit, and also knew that Tong Jia wanted to drug Kangxi yesterday, but she didn't know that Tong Jia was pregnant with an illegitimate child.
She thought that Tong Jia was just unwilling to stay alone in an empty room and wanted to have a child, so she planned to drug Kangxi.
If she knew, she would definitely not let her do such a thing.
"Tell me, what do you know? I've been feeling uneasy today, and I feel like something big is going to happen. If you don't tell me, how can I know how to deal with it?"
"Master, your question leaves me completely confused. What do you mean by 'I know everything'? It was just that Your Majesty gave the Emperor medicine yesterday.
Now the Empress and the Emperor are probably already married, maybe even pregnant with an heir. Your Majesty should be happy, why is he so sad?
I'm not saying this to you, but it's a good thing that Your Majesty can consummate her marriage with the Emperor. The harem is controlled by the Empress, and Your Majesty has no chance of making a breakthrough. It's a good thing for you to do this.
Think about it again, if the Queen is really pregnant with a prince, then what about the Queen's child? We must support the Queen.
If the prince born to the Empress can become the crown prince, won’t the glory of the Tong family continue for another hundred years?
By then, the Tong family will be a powerful clan. Who would dare to say that our Tong family only gained their wealth and glory by raising the Han army flag? "
Tong Guowei was strangely convinced by Mrs. Tong's words. What the lady said made sense. It seemed that he was overthinking it.
Even if Kangxi was really dissatisfied with Tong Jia for drugging him, he would not do anything to her for the sake of the Tong family.
As long as she takes this opportunity to conceive a royal heir, the Tong family's good days will be just around the corner.
"Find an opportunity to go into the palace and get some information. I always feel that it's not as simple as you think. I can only feel at ease after entering the palace and taking a look."
"Don't worry, Master. I will hand the sign to the Queen in a moment, and you will be able to enter the palace in the afternoon."
Mrs. Tong had a good idea, but who would have thought that within half an hour, all the people in the Tong Mansion were thrown into prison.
She didn't realize why until she was imprisoned in the cell, but Tong Guowei guessed a little.
Perhaps something went wrong when Tonggiya gave Kangxi the medicine, otherwise Kangxi would not have arrested them all.
What did that evil girl do? It was impossible that she did something defiled in the palace. If that was the case, he really wanted to kill her with a knife.
"Master, what's going on? Why are we being detained? Could it be that something went wrong with the Empress?"
"How did you know? Big brother and sister-in-law, do you know what's going on?"
Tong Guogang was very confused. He was training troops in the suburbs, but a group of people came and arrested him without saying a word.
If he hadn't recognized that the man was the leader of the Royal Guards, he would never have surrendered.
He was a loyal and patriotic man who had made great military achievements. I think Kangxi would not treat him like this for no reason.
Then there is only one possibility, that something went wrong with Tong Jia in the palace, otherwise it would be impossible for all the Tong family members to appear here.
"Tong Guowei, tell me clearly what the Queen did in the palace and why everyone was arrested?
Your wife just mentioned the Empress's matter and suspected that something had happened to her. If you don't give me an explanation, I'll beat you up!"
Madam Tong's mouth twitched. Couldn't this guy just speak nicely? He kept calling her "old man". What if he scared her grandson?
"Brother, we're already here, why are you still so fierce? Even if the queen did something, we are all members of the Tong family, and no one can escape.
Now you might as well think carefully about whether you can use your little military merit to buy us a glimmer of hope. We are the emperor's uncles, he shouldn't really execute us."
Tong Guogang knew at a glance that Tong Guowei must know something, but since he didn't say it, he had no choice.
I just hope Kangxi can see clearly and not wrongly accuse any good person.
But he was also a subject, and if the king wanted him to die, he had to die.
bother!
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi received the news from Liang Jiugong's investigation. As expected, Tong Guowei and his wife knew some things about Tong Jia, and they were not wronged.
However, Tong Guogang and his wife were indeed innocent victims of the disaster. One of them was law-abiding and the other was devoted to loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. They really should not have been implicated.
"Tell my two uncles what Tong Jia did. My second uncle cannot stay, but I can wait and see what my eldest uncle thinks."
"yes."
When Tong Guogang and his brothers learned what Tong Jia had done, they fainted from a sudden burst of blood in their brains.
"So, this is all caused by your good daughter, Second Sister-in-law. Back then, your sister-in-law said that you would lead her astray by doing that. Look for yourself, what have you made of her?"
"Sister-in-law is blaming me now. If you hadn't been thinking about her, I wouldn't have doted on her so much. I did this just to guard against you.
She is my daughter. If you want her, you can give birth to her yourself. If you can't give birth, you can only think about other people's daughters. I don't blame you, but you blame me.
Anyway, we in the Tong family share the same fate. Now that you have received the benefits brought by the Empress, don't expect the Emperor to absolve you of your guilt!"
Since their daughter did such a thing, they will definitely die. After being suppressed by Madam Tong for these years, it is time for her to resist a little.
We are both daughters-in-law of the Tong family. Why can she rely on her status as sister-in-law to suppress me in everything?
It’s better this way. Having her accompany me on the road to the underworld is worth dying for.
"What the Queen did is indeed a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of her family. The fact that the Emperor has not spread this news is already a blessing to the Tong family.
Second brother, don't blame the emperor, the fault lies with us, and we deserve this."
After Tong Guogang woke up, he was listless, but he knew right from wrong and therefore did not resent Kangxi.
Tong Guowei knew this was the truth, but he was unwilling to accept it and hated Tong Jia for harming the entire Tong family because of her own selfish thoughts.
