Yin? came to Mu Sili with a nervous look on his face, touched her belly carefully, and then looked at Kangxi with a face full of indignation.
"Emperor Father!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Someone is trying to harm my mother, why didn't you react at all? Father Huang, you have greatly disappointed your son."
Yinzhen showed a disappointed expression, which made Kangxi speechless. He just raised his head, and before he said anything, why was this brat still angry?
He didn't say he turned a blind eye to the matter, nor did he say he wouldn't punish Concubine De. Couldn't he be given a chance to speak? Look, his mother looked at him with a bad look because of what he said.
"Xiao Shi, how can you speak to the emperor like that? The emperor only said one sentence, and you babble so much. Be careful that the emperor will dislike you as his son."
"Father Huang, are you such a person?"
Kangxi finally realized that both mother and son were angry and were playing a double game.
"Of course I'm not that kind of person. I came here today to tell you all this to reassure you. I won't let them off easily.
You dare to attack my descendants. I think you feel that you are qualified to be compared with the major families after you have left your bannerman status.
Since I can free them from the status of bondservants, I can naturally let them return to the status of bondservants. If they are too tolerant, I will chop off their tolerant hearts.
And they have this idea, most likely because of Concubine De's instigation, but she is pregnant now, so I really can't do anything to her. I can only deal with her after she gives birth."
“It’s good that Your Majesty doesn’t protect Concubine De, but since she has this idea, she will definitely not give up framing me until the Wuya clan is completely destroyed.
Although she is pregnant, I hope that the emperor can confine her to Yonghe Palace and temporarily close the gate of Yonghe Palace.
The Wuya clan has been in the Imperial Household Department for many years, and to be honest, in some respects, the Niuhulu clan behind me cannot compare to them."
Kangxi frowned when he heard this. This was the first time he heard that a noble family was not as good as a former bondservant family. Could it be that there was some secret that he didn't know?
"I remember that the Niuhulu clan is one of the ancient Eight Banners families. How could they be inferior to someone who came from a noble family of bondsers?"
"Your Majesty has probably forgotten that although the Niuhulu clan is a prominent family, they have not spent as much time in the palace as those of the bannermen families.
Although they are slaves, they are the most well-informed. To be disrespectful, there may be things in their homes that you have never seen.
Of course, this is just my guess. I never said that the Baoyi family has treasures that you have never seen."
Kangxi was speechless. He didn't believe that Mu Sili didn't know. If she really didn't know, how could she say such a thing?
It seems that in recent years, not only the Wuya clan, but also other bannermen families have become arrogant.
If there really are treasures in their homes that I don’t even have, it is enough to prove that they do not take me, the emperor, seriously.
Or maybe in their eyes, he, the emperor, was blind, and because he failed to see their behavior once, he made them become even more aggressive?
"Come here, take good care of the imperial concubine. If anything happens to her, I will kill you.
Things are not peaceful recently, so you should just rest and take care of your pregnancy in Yongshou Palace. If you want to go anywhere, be sure to bring enough people with you.
If you're really bored, you can go to the Yikun Palace to talk to Concubine Yi, or go to the Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the Qianqing Palace first."
"Yes, I understand."
When Yin saw that Kangxi was about to leave, he hurriedly followed him. From now on, he would change himself and become a man who could protect his mother and younger siblings.
Kangxi had no objection to Yinzhen going back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with him. His son was ambitious and he could only support him and there was no way he would object.
"Liang Jiugong, now that you're back, please arrange for more people to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Wuya clan. Listen to me, I want to know if there are any contraband in their homes."
Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi in confusion. What kind of contraband could a family of bondservants have?
But after seeing Kangxi's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, he decided not to ask anything and just carry out his orders honestly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will make the arrangements right away. However, if we find any of the contraband you mentioned, how should we deal with it?"
"How should we deal with this? Do I need to teach you?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I understand."
Liang Jiugong walked out of the Qianqing Palace with a look of grievance on his face. He didn't know what had happened when Kangxi went to Yongshou Palace just now, and why he suddenly became so furious.
Didn't you say you were going to tell Concubine Musilide that she was going to harm her? It doesn't look like that!
Forget it, let’s quickly send someone to investigate what the Wuya clan did to anger the emperor.
In Yonghe Palace, Defei was still thinking about what a miserable scene it would be like after Mu Sili had a miscarriage, when Yonghe Palace was surrounded.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Emperor has ordered the Yonghe Palace to be sealed off. After some investigation, I learned that the closure of the Yonghe Palace is related to the Imperial Concubine.
"You said that the imperial concubine knew you were going to attack her, so she took the initiative? But you did it secretly, how did she know?"
Defei's maid said that something was wrong, but she did not look too panicked. In her eyes, Defei was omnipotent and would definitely be able to resolve the current predicament quickly.
What she is more concerned about now is how much Mu Sili knows and how she got Kangxi to agree to ban the Yonghe Palace.
"What did you say? Why would the Emperor seal off Yonghe Palace for no reason? I'm pregnant now, and even for the sake of my unborn child, the Emperor shouldn't do this.
You said that this matter is related to the Imperial Concubine. Could it be that the Imperial Concubine already knows that I am planning to use the Wuya clan to attack her?
No, since the emperor has issued the decree, it proves that he has already believed that the Wuya clan will take action against the imperial concubine.
Although I was the one behind the scenes, I handled this matter in secret. As long as I deny it and act like a victim, the Emperor will definitely not blame me."
"My Lady, do you want me to go and appeal for justice?"
"No need. If I go and cry out for justice now, the Emperor will surely think I'm crying wolf. I'll just ignore the matter, but I must give the impression that I'm voluntarily banning myself."
"yes."
Defei stayed in Yonghe Palace to wait for childbirth with the idea of never admitting it. As long as she didn't admit it, Kangxi would definitely not touch her because of her contribution to childbirth.
She even felt that even if the Uya clan was really investigated and punished by Kangxi, she would be safe with Yinzhen and her unborn child.
But what she didn't know was that Kangxi already knew what the Uya clan had done over the years. Not only that, he had actually discovered treasures in the Uya clan's private vault that Kangxi had never owned.
