At this time, Concubine Nianhulu had lost her previous noble temperament. She glared at the people who were investigating her with resentment in her eyes.
"I am the Imperial Concubine appointed by the Emperor himself. As long as he has not abolished my title of Imperial Concubine, you cannot treat me like this.
Not only that, I am also the daughter of the Niuhuru clan. You'd better be polite to me, otherwise I can't guarantee what the Niuhuru clan will do.
The Emperor only asked you to interrogate me about what I have done, but you actually want to torture me. Do you think I am so easy to bully?"
"Your Highness is right. You haven't been deposed yet, but that day is probably not far off. You intend to harm the Empress and the heir. Do you think the Emperor will let you go so easily?"
"So what? Aren't they fine? If they are fine, why are you torturing me? Just wait, the Niuhulu clan will not let you go."
"I am waiting."
Noble Consort Niuhulu choked. What did she mean by "wait for me"? She had threatened and intimidated them like this, so shouldn't they be careful and serve her?
"Why is Eunuch Liang here?"
"We are here to announce the decree. I hope we are not disturbing the interrogation of the adults."
"No, the interrogation is over. This is the confession of the Imperial Concubine. Please take a look."
"I won't look at it. After the decree is announced, I will take it back to the emperor for inspection."
"Okay."
As soon as Concubine Nianhulu heard the decree, she knew it was for her. She was delighted, thinking that Kangxi had forgiven her, so a smug look appeared on her face.
After all, the power of the Nianhulu clan was there, and Kangxi would not really do anything to her if he wanted to balance the harem.
However, after Liang Jiugong announced Kangxi's decree, Concubine Nianhulu collapsed to the ground again.
"What did you just say? The Emperor abolished my position as Imperial Concubine and demoted me to a concubine. How is that possible? You're lying to me, aren't you?
I am a member of the Niuhulu clan. No matter how angry the emperor is, he will not abolish my position. I don't believe it. I will go to the emperor to ask for clarification."
"What are you doing, Concubine? I am following the Emperor's orders. If this is false, I will be punished. I don't have the guts to falsely convey His Majesty's will.
Since the concubine has confessed, just wait for the emperor to announce your punishment. Don't worry, the queen is pregnant now and will not do anything to kill.
After all, she is the Emperor's concubine. Before the Emperor issues an order, we cannot let anything happen to her. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult for you to explain, but it will also be difficult for our family to explain."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Liang. We are all sensible people and know what to do."
Liang Jiugong took away the evidence of Concubine Nianhulu's crime, leaving her alone on the ground, doubting her life.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Your Majesty, this is the confession of Concubine Niuhulu, please take a look."
"Confessed? That's right. She has no choice but to confess when the evidence is irrefutable. Since she has confessed, let's send her to the cold palace first, considering that the queen is not harmed.
She is obsessed with the position of queen. I want to make her understand that the position of queen is not something she can dream of, and the cold palace will be her final destination.
Also, send a message to the Niuhulu clan, telling them that I am very angry. If they don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will not let this matter go."
"yes."
Ebilun and others who had received the news were almost going crazy. They hadn't even cut off their relationship with her yet, but she had already murdered the queen. Was she trying to drag them into the water?
Since she wanted to drag them into this, it's no wonder they expelled her from the family.
"Greetings to the Lord, the Emperor sent me here to ask how you plan to handle this matter. Please don't blame me for being nosy. The concubine has passed.
We know that the concubine has always been brooding over the fact that she missed the position of empress, but missed it is missed, and it is a serious crime to attack the royal heir.
The Emperor, out of our long-standing friendship, has only demoted her to a concubine and exiled her to the cold palace. This is already a mercy, so please don't make the wrong choice."
"What you said is true, eunuch. Thank you for reminding me. The clan had already decided to expel her from the family. Unfortunately, this incident happened before we could take any action. It's really a sin.
Don't worry, eunuch. I will remind the clan leader to quickly deal with this matter later. To express my apology, I will personally go to the emperor to apologize tomorrow."
"I feel relieved with your words, sir. You are busy, but I still have to return to the palace to report."
Ebilun quickly stuffed his purse with money, and after Liang Jiugong left, he immediately went to the ancestral hall and crossed out the name of Niuhulu's concubine.
If a person cannot bring benefits to the family, or even brings disaster to the family, then he or she can no longer be a member of the family. Even if she or she is your own daughter, you must abandon her ruthlessly when the time comes.
Concubine Niohuru was hoping that her clansmen would come and rescue her, but after waiting for a long time, she only received the news that she had been expelled from the clan. At that moment, she knew that her future was over.
"I've done so much for you, and you gave up on me so easily. How pathetic, how pathetic!"
She regretted it, not because she had attacked Mu Sili, but because she had entered the palace and had not gotten rid of them at the beginning.
Unfortunately, it’s no use regretting now, as she will spend the rest of her life in the cold palace.
A month later, in Kunning Palace, Kangxi fainted after hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis that Mu Sili was pregnant with quadruplets.
The imperial physician even said that this baby would definitely have a son, which meant that it was most likely twins, a boy and a girl. Twins represented good fortune and represented God's recognition of the Qing Dynasty. How could he not be excited?
"Is the Emperor alright?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor fainted because he was too excited. You have now been confirmed to be pregnant with your fourth child. As long as you take good care of the pregnancy, nothing will happen."
"I understand. If that's the case, I'll leave my baby to you."
"yes."
Kangxi woke up in a daze and met Mu Sili's concerned eyes. He was in a trance for a moment. He seemed to have heard the imperial physician say that she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.
"Empress, was I dreaming just now? Why did I hear the imperial physician say that you are pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl? Is this true?"
"Your Majesty is not dreaming. I am indeed pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. The imperial physician has confirmed it. I congratulate Your Majesty on having your wish come true."
Kangxi was happy, but at the same time he was worried that Namu Zhong would take action against her. However, he needed to get rid of Namu Zhong in a reasonable way, so he had to let her suffer.
"I have something to discuss with you. If you disagree, I will find another way."
"This is the first time I've seen Your Majesty discuss something with me so seriously. Just say it. I'm your wife and I should support your decision."
"I'm planning to spread the news that you're pregnant with twins. Whoever hears this will definitely take action, but I'm a little worried that you'll be implicated."
