"Well, well, well, you are indeed a family that has served as bondservants for many years. You actually have rare treasures in your home that I have never seen before.
I think other families have done the same things that the Wuya family dared to do. I don't believe there is anyone innocent among them.
Come, tell me the news. If anyone voluntarily hands over and reports the person who hides the rare treasures, I will give him a lighter sentence.
Of course, if they decide to cover up for each other together, don't blame me for catching them all in one fell swoop after I find out the truth.
It is true that I want to be a wise ruler, but I have never thought of being a truly blind person!
Everyone knows how empty the national treasury has been in recent years. I worry every day about how to fill the national treasury, but they are embezzling my things.
In this case, I will not be polite. Just confiscate the Uya clan for me and put all the confiscated items into the national treasury.
In addition, the report I just mentioned is only valid within three days. After three days, I will send someone to search the house personally.
Of course, if there are people with ulterior motives who think that I cannot find out, they can treat this matter as a matter of luck.
After all, I always keep my word. Now that I have an idea, I will naturally implement it. When the time comes, it will not be offset by confiscating property."
"I understand, Your Majesty. Should I tell the Virtuous Consort about this? When I was investigating this matter, I heard someone say that it was the Virtuous Consort who ordered them to murder the Imperial Concubine."
"I knew from the beginning that this matter was related to Concubine De, but I never thought it was true. Since she has such thoughts, of course I must let her know the fate of the Wuya clan."
Kangxi was ready to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. The Uya clan attacked Mu Sili first, and then found out that they had embezzled his things. Even if the whole clan was executed, it was justified.
But I want to be a wise ruler, and a wise ruler should not kill people indiscriminately, so I will kill the direct descendants of the Wuya clan.
As for the side branches, I heard that there is a shortage of manpower in the mines in Shengjing, so let's arrange for them to go mining.
I think after mining for a few years, they will know what to take and what not to take.
In Yonghe Palace, ever since the palace was closed, Concubine De felt that things were getting more and more out of control. Before she could come up with a solution, Liang Jiugong arrived.
"Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort is truly at leisure. Even though she's been confined to the Yonghe Palace, she still has the mind to enjoy the flowers and take a stroll here."
Concubine De was angry at Liang Jiugong's words, but she was now under house arrest in Yonghe Palace and was not very clear about what was happening outside. She had no idea what was happening.
In addition, Liang Jiugong was Kangxi's personal eunuch and the chief eunuch. She had always been polite to him when she met him in the past, so she naturally did not dare to show her displeasure.
"Eunuch Liang is a rare guest. I wonder why he is here in my Yonghe Palace instead of serving the Emperor in the Qianqing Palace?
I'm under house arrest in Yonghe Palace. Isn't Eunuch Liang afraid that outsiders will say he has a relationship with me?"
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I am here to deliver a message to you on the orders of the Emperor."
Defei suddenly felt a surge of panic. "Send a message? What message?" Could it be that Kangxi had already taken down the Wuya clan? Did he even know that she was behind this?
No, if Kangxi was really sure that he was the person behind the scenes, why would he let Liang Jiugong come alone?
I think he was not sure whether he was involved in this matter or not, so he sent Liang Jiugong to find out the information.
"The Emperor originally sent you here to tell me something. I don't know what the news is, but I'm sorry to trouble you to come all this way."
Liang Jiugong raised his eyebrows. Concubine De was really adaptable. She was talking to him with a sarcastic look on her face just now, but now she had a flattering smile on her face.
I wonder how she will react when she finds out that some of the Wuya clan were killed or exiled.
Please forgive him for feeling expectant at this moment. It is such a sin, such a sin.
"It's my fault. I almost forgot the purpose of my coming here. The emperor sent me to tell you that the Wuya clan has been confiscated.
As for your father's lineage, they will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and the rest of the collateral lineage will all be exiled to Shengjing to work in the mines."
After Liang Jiugong finished speaking, he waited for Concubine De's reaction, but he only saw her face turn pale and then recover in an instant.
"Can I ask what they did? Why did the Emperor treat them like this?"
"Your Majesty knows it well. Your Majesty, the day is coming soon, right?"
Defei couldn't help but take two steps back. Could it be that Liang Jiugong meant that Kangxi would take action against her after she gave birth?
How could this be possible? I haven't even gotten to that coveted position yet. Since you've given me hope, why should I destroy it?
By the way, Yinzhen, she still has a son named Yinzhen.
As long as Yinzhen is still alive, she still has hope. With hope, she has a chance. With a chance, she will not die.
"It's my fault for not keeping my people in check. They deserve what they've suffered.
The Emperor is angry, so he has confined me. I know I was wrong. Eunuch Liang, when you return, please tell the Emperor about this. I accept the punishment."
Liang Jiugong was a little surprised. He thought Concubine De would be angry and question him, but he didn't expect her to say so casually that it was all their own fault.
It seems that he underestimated Concubine De. No wonder she could sit in the position of one of the four concubines as a palace maid. She deserved it!
"Since the Empress has said so, then this servant has nothing more to say. I still have to go back to take care of the Emperor. I will take my leave."
"Eunuch Liang, take care."
After Liang Jiugong left, the door of Yonghe Palace was closed again, and Concubine De returned to the bedroom with an angry face.
Just as he was about to smash the teacup in front of him, he was stopped by the palace maid serving beside him.
"Your Majesty, you must not show your anger, otherwise the Emperor will think you are dissatisfied with him and punish you. What if he does?
Now that the Uya clan is gone, you are in trouble in the harem. You must not do anything to anger the emperor.
The little master in your belly has not yet been born. It would be great if this baby could give birth to a prince. Even if the emperor knew that this matter was related to you, he would cover it up for you. "
Concubine De carefully touched her belly. It was true, but she was not sure whether this baby would be a prince.
Fortunately, Yinzhen is still young. Although he spoke harshly to him because of Xiaoliu's matter before, the blood relationship is there. It would be great if he could be used.
He doesn't need to do anything, as long as he can secure his position as a concubine.
"I understand. Fortunately, you were there to remind me, otherwise I would have done something wrong.
It’s just that my confinement has already made those women laugh at me. Now that my descendants are gone, I’m afraid that even if the confinement is lifted, life will not be easy.”
"Your Majesty, don't worry. You are one of the four concubines. They dare not embarrass you."
