Here, the Crown Prince was still immersed in shock. The Empress Dowager was startled, first she sighed, then her eyes darkened. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were stunned for only a moment, and a feeling of relief flashed through their hearts, and finally turned into anger—
The rage was directed at Concubine Wu and Liu, gradually turning into a huge wave that was about to sweep across the entire Cining Palace.
Liang Jiugong's words disturbed the silence in the palace, and the first person to be affected was Concubine Wu.
After hearing this, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief and murmured, "Stable? No, it won't happen..."
According to the information reported by Madam Wu, Mingyun and Mingxin were clearly living in the East Wing Hall of Yuqing Palace. To be safe and cautious, she sneered and sent three or two confidants whom she absolutely trusted to investigate. When the confidants came back to report, they whispered to her: "Master, it is indeed the East Wing Hall."
East Side Palace... Crown Prince... The hatred in Concubine Wu’s heart almost overflowed.
Not to mention that Liu, the slave girl, was born with a weak spine. The emperor put her in prison and tortured her a few times and she confessed. How could her confession be false? !
Because of her preconceived assumption, at this moment, Concubine Wu could not believe that the Crown Prince had nothing to do with the poisoning of Yinzuo.
Liang Jiugong, this dog slave, is loyal to the prince, and he deceives his superiors and subordinates, and even dares to deceive the emperor! He also said that Ming Xin and Ming Yun lived next to the stable and did the work of a maid. Who would believe such a clumsy lie
She could hardly control her emotions when she thought about it. Her eyes were red and scary. She looked straight at the palace door, laughed, and said coldly, "Frame-up? What a frame-up. The sachet is real, and the poison was real in Yuqing Palace. The evidence is already conclusive. The rest is just your words, Liang Jiugong! You easily turned black into white and almost forgot your duty as a servant. What a powerful Liang."
Hearing this, Liang Jiugong's face dropped so much that it was almost as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
What he meant was that he colluded with the Crown Prince and fabricated the lie about the stable, intending to deceive the Emperor, the Ancestor and the Queen Mother who were present
Haha, she is worthy of being the considerate Concubine De in the past. Even after being demoted to Concubine Wu, she did not forget her nature. She was so "kind" that she put such a big hat on our family.
Liang Jiugong bent down slightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and put on a fake smile. Just as he was about to refute, at this moment, a sob suddenly came from behind him.
He was startled and didn't bother to "clear his name" anymore. He turned his head quickly to look -
The prince, dressed in apricot yellow, walked out from the shadows at the corner. His eyes, which were exactly the same as Kangxi's, turned slightly red, and tears gathered in his eye sockets. He called out in a hoarse voice, "Grandfather, Madam, Father."
The little prince's clear, slightly childish voice sounded, mixed with a strong nasal tone, and his words were full of heartbreaking grievances.
Then, the prince wiped his nose, held back the tears that were about to fall, lowered his head and looked at Concubine Wu who was kneeling on the ground, and whispered: "It was just a coincidence that I saved Yinzuo. It is definitely not as dirty as Concubine Wu thinks... Manager Liang is loyal to the emperor, so how can he be said to be colluding with me?"
As he spoke, the prince's voice became louder, with anger mixed in with his grievance, "Mingyun and Mingxin have never served me, and it was not my idea to use the sachet to harm people! I have no idea what my great-uncle did. I feel sorry for Xiaoliu, so how could I harm him?!"
…
This caused a huge uproar.
When the prince was about to cry, Liang Jiugong's heart skipped a beat and he stammered, "Prince!", with anxiety swirling in his mind.
It was the time for school, but the prince suddenly appeared in the Cining Palace, which was unexpected. In the upper study, did the teachers agree
The palace servants outside the hall were the same. They all became dumb and did not even report a word. They just let the Crown Prince watch this scene for who knows how long.
He stamped his feet and thought to himself that something was wrong.
The Emperor had specifically instructed that Liu's confession identifying the prince be kept secret, and that only a brief mention of the palace search be made... But now it can no longer be concealed.
His Highness was not yet an adult. No matter how smart and self-sufficient he was, he was still just a child. Now, his stepmother accused him of being vicious, plotting against his younger brother, and bribing the personal attendants around His Majesty. He faced the aggressive Concubine Wu and felt the hatred and malice in her words. How could he bear it
Even adults can’t handle it!
Hearing the prince's evaluation of his "loyalty", the chief steward was shocked by the sparkling water in the prince's eyes before he could even feel moved. What, what, is His Highness crying? !
This is too much!!
When he came to his senses, he even forgot to refute and subconsciously looked towards Kangxi who was sitting above him. He thought, it's all over. The Emperor will surely be furious and this matter will not end peacefully today.
*****
Liang Jiugong guessed correctly.
When he saw the prince's figure, Kangxi's rage paused slightly. Before he could even be surprised, his heart began to tighten.
After Baocheng recovered from smallpox, he became more and more independent. He would put his hands behind his back all day, thinking of himself as a "little adult", and hated crying. As he grew older, Baocheng never cried again in his memory, at most he was unhappy sometimes.
Although the prince stopped crying in an instant and his nasal tone gradually faded away, the scene just now was like a heavy hammer that hit Kangxi's heart hard.
Apart from the Emperor, how could the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother not also be shocked and distressed
With a quick glance, Kangxi took in everyone's situation. His expression became increasingly gloomy, to the point where Liang Jiugong was terrified and his fingertips were trembling.
The emperor saw with his own eyes that after the vicious woman Uya was stunned, she looked disrespectful. Not only did she not greet Baocheng, she even sneered and said softly: "Yinzuo's worthless life is naturally not as valuable as the precious prince. It's a pity that Master Suo's bright future has been ruined just like that..."
Kangxi stood up suddenly, strode forward, and as everyone held their breath, he raised his boot and kicked Concubine Wu: "Who gave you the courage to frame the crown prince and disrespect the heir to the throne?!"
Instantly, Wupin's mind went blank for a moment, she felt a pain in her heart, and a sweet taste surged in her throat. She crawled on the ground, holding her chest, her heart and eyes full of disbelief, and the word "Your Majesty" stuck in her heart, she couldn't say it.
There was silence in the Cining Palace. The prince quietly took a step back and slowly opened his eyes.
"Yinzuo was poisoned, I will naturally give him justice. Why do you need to make random accusations here? Framed the prince is to shake the foundation of our Qing Dynasty, Uya, you don't deserve to die!" Kangxi said word by word, looking down at Concubine Wu as if she was looking at a dead object.
After saying that, he sneered and was about to launch a second kick, but at this moment, the Empress Dowager's old voice stopped him: "Xuan Ye!"
"Uya has contracted madness, and she hasn't recovered after a long period of recuperation," the Empress Dowager twirled her Buddhist beads and sighed deeply when she saw the Emperor stop moving. "She has hallucinations and confused Yinreng with Suo'etu. It's not a far-fetched story. You should stop bothering her."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
Wupin was as disappointed as a dead tree, her eyes were still dazed, and she hadn't come back to her senses yet. In the dimness, the distant voice of the Empress Dowager came from the horizon: "... Your madness has become more and more serious, and you have even reached the point where you can't recognize people clearly, and you can't be a mother to several children. Emperor, you two should discuss the whereabouts of Yinzhen and Moyaqi later..."
The Grand Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, turned her head and said a few words to the Empress Dowager. When she saw the Empress Dowager nodded, she turned to the limp Concubine Wu and said calmly, "Connect? Liang Jiugong doesn't have the guts to do that. You can relax, because I also provided the search team, and there is no favoritism."
Finally, she patted the table and said tiredly, "Come here, please ask Wupin to return to Yonghe Palace. She can come out when her madness is cured."
As the Empress Dowager gave the order, Kangxi's anger gradually subsided and he remained silent.
After Concubine Wu was dragged out of the hall, the palace servants suppressed the shock in their hearts and retreated respectfully. In the blink of an eye, only the crown prince and a few elders were left in the hall, along with the "conclusive evidence" of the confession.
*****
After the excitement wore off, a feeling of shame came over me.
He actually cried!
In front of so many people!
Even though, even though he listened to Yi E'niang's words, even though he revealed his grievances for the first time, even though the effect was exceptional, Yinreng still blushed.
The prince's face and eyes were red, which were the sequelae of the accumulated tears that had not yet disappeared. He looked at the ground awkwardly, his eyes wandering around, not daring to look Kangxi in the eye, but in the eyes of the emperor and the two empresses, it was completely different - their heartache was even worse.
The shock today is too great. Baocheng must be feeling uneasy because of Soetu, right
"Baocheng, come, come to the ancestor." The Empress Dowager lowered her voice, which was completely different from the way she gave the order just now.
She held the prince's hand tightly and gently wiped his red and swollen eyes, "Good boy, you have suffered a lot. Don't be afraid, the ancestors are watching. Baocheng just needs to study peacefully, and no wind or rain can disturb you at all."
The Queen Mother was more straightforward, her words were full of kindness, and even a little cautious: "The Royal Madam knows everything! No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with you. Your Royal Father is here, don't cry, okay?"
Yinreng nodded very obediently and whispered, "Don't cry anymore."
If you cry again, you will lose all your face and dignity!
Next it was the emperor's turn.
Kangxi reached out and touched his son's head, his eyes were full of complexity, and he said in a gentle voice: "Baocheng, the Emperor knows your grievances..."
Is the prince feeling wronged
Of course there are.
It would be unpleasant for anyone to be wrongly accused for no reason, let alone being accused of murdering his younger brother. He was the crown prince of a country. If rumors got out, how could he live his life in the future
If Uya really succeeded, not only would he be tarnished with a stigma, but the Emperor's favor would also be less than before. If this went on for a long time, what would be his fate
He also felt sorry for Soetu, because his great uncle had done something wrong. It was Soetu who poisoned his sixth brother. Wasn't he afraid that the emperor would find out, or that Yuqing Palace would be implicated
…These are just thoughts in my mind.
"Father, I am not wronged." The prince said sullenly with his eyes lowered.
He suddenly remembered something, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "By the way, today's homework..."
He just hurriedly apologized to his teachers and ran to the Cining Palace. If the emperor knew that he had skipped school, would he be angry
Under normal circumstances, he would have been caned. Well, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, there seemed to be no cases of truancy...
"What's the big deal? You can make up for the missed lessons tomorrow." Kangxi's tone was so gentle that it gave the prince goose bumps. "I know you study hard, but don't push yourself too hard."
Prince: “…Oh, oh.”
The prince walked out of the Cining Palace in a daze, and returned to the Yuqing Palace in a daze. He stayed in the study for a long time, looking deep in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Yinqi's loud and energetic voice rang out: "Second brother, are you skipping school today?"
The Fifth Prince was leaning outside the door, looking around for a while, and suddenly he exclaimed as if he had discovered a new world: "Why are Second Brother's eyes red? They're as red as a rabbit's!"
The prince's face turned red again.
He coughed, thought about it, and said seriously: "I admire Yi'er Niang so much that I shed tears... I can't help it, I can't help it..."
Yinqi opened his mouth and was stunned.
The author has something to say: Yinqi: (Dementia)
Yunxiu: … … …
