Since Concubine De personally brought the evidence to her door, it would be inappropriate for her not to accept it.
"Someone, go and ask the emperor to come over."
"Yes, my lady."
Kangxi hurried over and saw Mu Sili looking at him with sympathy, which made him feel very anxious.
What's wrong with my cousin? Why is she looking at him like that? Has he done anything harmful recently? Why is her heart pounding?
"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Liang Jiugong, wait until they leave. You stay outside the door. I have something to say to His Majesty."
"yes."
After Liang Jiugong took his men away, Kangxi became even more panicked. He had to talk about everything behind the servants' backs!
"Cousin, if you have any problems, just tell me. I'll take care of it for you."
"That's not necessary. I just have something to tell you about the guy across the street."
"The one across from me? Who?"
"Who lives in Yonghe Palace?"
"De Fei, what's wrong with her? Is she being dishonest again? If so, punish her. After all, you are the master of this harem, and I support your decision."
"I can't make the decision on this matter, you have to do it."
Kangxi's curiosity was piqued. What was it about him that had to make the final decision? Could it be that his cousin was displeased with Concubine De and wanted to demote her?
It's not impossible. After all, Concubine De also climbed onto the bed to get to the top. I haven't caused any trouble to her yet, so I'll just demote her.
"Then I will issue an order to demote Concubine De to..."
"Wait, why is she demoted? I think that the mistakes made by Concubine De are not enough to just be demoted."
"What exactly happened? I'm confused."
Mu Sili looked at his head again, and always felt that there was a big green hat there that she couldn't get rid of even if she waved it away.
"Nalan Rongruo passed away, and Yinzhi took Yinzhen to pay his respects."
"I know, the boss told me."
"After Concubine De learned of his death, she drove all the palace people out and drank alone in the palace. Cousin, you should know that people speak the truth when they are drunk, right?"
Kangxi's face darkened. He seemed to have vaguely guessed something. It better not be what he thought, otherwise he would kill Concubine De now!
"Before entering the palace, Concubine Hui and Rong Ruo were a couple, but later she was dazzled by the prosperity of the palace and climbed onto your dragon bed.
Ever since she became your concubine, there was no possibility for her and Rong Ruo to be together. But I have inquired and found out that she had agreed with Rong Ruo that she would marry him after she left the palace at the age of 25.
It's a pity that she became a concubine, and Rong Ruo also listened to his family's arrangements and got married, and the two missed each other from then on."
Kangxi frowned. He didn't even know about this. Was there more to it than that? Otherwise, why would his cousin's expression be so intriguing?
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Concubine De is trying to imitate Dorgon and the Grand Empress Dowager after her son ascends to the throne... This is too treasonous, so I won't say anything more.
Anyway, she plans to wait for you to die, and then she and Rong Ruo can be together legitimately. And according to her, it won't take too long to achieve this, it can be completed in a few years."
Kangxi's face could no longer be described as gloomy. He wanted to kill someone to vent his anger.
Good, very good. I thought that nothing would happen after I stayed out of the harem for the past two years and only favored my cousin. I didn't expect that someone was hoping for his death.
He did not blame Rong Ruo for this. After all, after Defei became a palace concubine, he rarely entered the palace and quickly got married and had children.
If Mu Sili hadn't told him this today, he wouldn't have known that Rong Ruo had been in a relationship with Concubine De.
He was not a petty person. If Rong Ruo had told him about this at the beginning, he would have given Defei, who was still a palace maid, to him as a concubine no matter what.
Unfortunately, there is no if. If Concubine De had not said those nonsense, he could pretend that he didn't know about this, but now he can't do that. He wants to kill Concubine De.
How dare you curse him to death and want your son to marry someone else after he ascends the throne? You’re dreaming!
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De had already woken up. Thinking of what she had said before, she wanted to drag out the nanny who was present at the time and execute her secretly.
No, this must not be known to anyone.
"Mammy, was there anyone else here besides you?"
"Don't worry, Madam. No one else is coming. This servant will be guarding outside the whole time."
The nanny was a little frightened. She was afraid that the queen wanted to kill her. No, she had a family to support and could not just die like this.
"No, I saw a palace maid in pink passing by the palace. I wonder if she heard anything she shouldn't have."
Defei was furious and was about to kill her, but she said someone was passing by. What should she do?
"You step back first and check if there are any rumors spreading."
"Yes, my lady."
Knowing that her life was temporarily saved, the nanny breathed a sigh of relief. She could no longer stay in Yonghe Palace. She knew too many secrets. Sooner or later, Concubine De would get rid of her. She had to find a way out for herself.
I wonder if if I pass this news to Liang Jiugong, he can arrange for me to leave the palace and retire?
"The Emperor has arrived."
When Concubine De heard that Kangxi was coming, she was startled at first, then she put on a gentle smile and went out to greet him.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
Kangxi did not wake her up, but walked straight into the main hall of Yonghe Palace. Defei did not think much about it because there was not much expression on Kangxi's face.
"Your Majesty hasn't been to Yonghe Palace in a long time. How come you have time to come here today?"
"Why, do I need your permission to come to Yonghe Palace?"
In the past, when Concubine De spoke like this, Kangxi would chat with her with a smile. What happened today?
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. That is not what I meant."
Kangxi did not respond, but instead began to observe her every move.
I knew two years ago that she was not a simple person, but I didn't punish her because she was pregnant and had children. Now it seems that she was really hiding it very well.
"Nalan Rongruo left today."
Defei's face was obviously frozen. This scene made Kangxi feel a little nauseous. He thought that his cousin was dissatisfied with Defei and deliberately framed her. He didn't expect it to be true!
"I heard that you knew Rong Ruo before you entered the palace. Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
"Where did Your Majesty hear this? I only met Master Nalan a few times before I entered the palace. We were not even close, so how could you mention him?
But someone has been slandering me in front of you. Your Majesty, you know that you are the only one in my heart. If it weren't for your protection and love for me in this deep palace, I wouldn't be standing here.
I heard that the eldest prince took Xiao Si out of the palace to pay his respects at Nalan Mansion today, but someone gossiped in front of him?
Your Majesty, please believe me. I am not familiar with Master Nalan. Someone must be unwilling to see me sitting on this throne, so they want to harm me. Please, Your Majesty, help me."
