The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

The next day, at Yinshi, Xiao Luzi wanted to call Qianlong to court, but he did not dare to enter the inner room and was very anxious.

Qianlong knew that he should go to court today, so he woke up at the hour of Yin, but he couldn't get up.

He stared at Hanxiang's sleeping face for a long time, and hesitated until the end of the Yin hour before he tiptoed out. Xiao Luzi helped him put on his court clothes.

When Qianlong arrived, the ministers had been waiting for a long time and entered the hall when they heard the summons.

After he stood still, he knelt down and saluted, thus starting today's morning court session.

The morning court lasted for more than half an hour. After Qianlong announced the adjournment of the court, he wanted to go to Baoyue Tower after leaving the Golden Palace, but was stopped by Yongqi.

Yongqi anxiously called out to Qianlong: "Father, please save Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei."

Qianlong was confused: "What happened to Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei? Are they in trouble again?"

Yongqi told Qianlong everything that happened after he left that day, and bowed to him.

"Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei should be in prison now. I don't know how they are doing. Please ask Your Majesty to go to the Cining Palace."

After hearing this, Qianlong walked towards the Cining Palace and called Yongqi: "You can come with me."

After hearing this, Yongqi hurriedly followed Qianlong to the Cining Palace.

At this time, the Empress Dowager had just finished washing up and was about to serve the meal when Qianlong came in with Yongqi.

After paying his respects to the old Buddha, he asked about Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei.

The old Buddha said to Qianlong

"They all confessed. Ziwei was avenging you for her mother. Now I have locked them all up in the cell."

Qianlong looked at the Empress Dowager in shock: "Confessed? They all confessed? How did they do it?"

The Empress Dowager asked Nanny Gui to bring Xiaoyanzi and the others up.

When Xiaoyanzi saw Qianlong, she rushed to kowtow to him

"Father Emperor, that rag doll was not made by Ziwei. I made it for fun on a whim."

Jinsuo kowtowed and interrupted

"Your Majesty, this was not made by Princess Huanzhu. It was made by me. I just thought the doll was pretty, so I made it and put it beside the bed to play with."

The others also answered

"Your Majesty, it was not the two princesses and Jinsuo who did it, it was the servants who did it."

Qianlong listened and turned to the old Buddha and said

"Empress Dowager, is this how they recruited? And you believe it?"

The old Buddha looked at Qianlong in shock.

"Isn't that enough? They all said they did it themselves, but wasn't it done collectively by them?"

Qianlong took a deep breath and looked at Xiaoyanzi and the others. Xiaoyanzi asked Qianlong to look at Ziwei's hand.

"Look, Father Emperor, this is the old Buddha torturing Ziwei, so Ziwei said that the rag doll was made by her.

I don’t know if Ziwei’s hand has any broken bones. I don’t know if she will be able to play the piano again.”

Qianlong looked at Ziwei's hand and turned to look at Lao Foye in disbelief.

"Empress Dowager, you are the Buddha. Aren't you the most devout Buddhist? How can you use such cruel punishment? You are too cruel."

The old Buddha looked at Qianlong with a firm gaze

"I believe in Buddhism and I believe in being kind to others, but if she dares to hurt someone I care about, I will never tolerate it.

Even if I would rather wrongly accuse a good person, I will never let a bad person go, this is my bottom line."

Qianlong didn't know what to say, he knew that the Empress Dowager was afraid that she would get hurt.

But it was obvious that Xiaoyanzi and the others were framed, and as for who did it, there was no other way but to think of Kunning Palace.

As for the purpose, in addition to dealing with Xiang'er, it is also targeting Shufangzhai.

Maybe he wanted to use the old lady to get rid of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, and then deal with Xianger.

But Qianlong had no evidence, so he couldn't say anything.

Qing Er came out and bowed to the old Buddha and Qianlong

"Your Majesty, this rag doll has been in Qing'er's hands since she found it in Shufangzhai.

Qing'er looked at it carefully and found that the material was not the brocade used in the palace now, but the silk left over from the past.

Before the Queen Mother came to the palace, silk was used.

After the Empress came to the palace, the cloth was changed to brocade, so it is not available in Shufangzhai."

Qing'er said that was enough, and the old lady turned around and asked Qing'er

"Qing'er, are you sure? The only place in the palace that uses silk is Kunning Palace, right?"

Qing Er was speechless, Qianlong told Xiao Luzi

"Go to Kunning Palace and call Nara over. I have something to ask her in person."

Xiao Luzi bowed to Qianlong and said, "Yes, I obey your order."

He hurried to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, Nara also received the news and was sitting in the main seat in the hall questioning Rong Mama.

"How could you make a rag doll out of silk? Wouldn't it be obvious at a glance that it was made by me? How could you be so careless?"

Rong Mama knelt on the ground anxiously

"Your Majesty, I was just looking for a piece of inconspicuous material and didn't look at it carefully. Who would have thought it was made of silk."

Nara couldn't help but stand up from the chair and walk around.

"Now we can only hope that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager won't find out.

But Qing'er is so smart and knows everything about the palace, it's impossible to hide it from her."

Nara and Rong Mama are trying to find a way to pass on the imperial edict.

"The emperor has ordered you to go to the Cining Palace."

Upon hearing this, Nara's pupils shrank, and she forced herself to remain calm: "I don't know what the emperor wants me to do?"

Xiao Luzi bowed respectfully to Nara

"I don't know about this, but you will know when you go to the Cining Palace.

But it would be inappropriate to keep the Emperor and Empress Dowager waiting for too long since the Emperor has summoned you, so please just go with me."

Nara dressed herself up and went to the Cining Palace with her head held high.

Even if you want to punish someone, you have to do it cleanly and decently.

When Nara arrived, she stopped and saluted Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi.

Then he straightened his back and asked, "I wonder why the emperor summoned you?"

Qianlong looked at her and said calmly

"Did you order your servants to make this voodoo doll? The purpose was to frame Shufangzhai."

Nara looked at Qianlong and admitted frankly

"I did it, and my purpose was indeed to frame Shufangzhai and your beloved Hanxiang."

When Qianlong heard Nara mention Hanxiang, he was furious.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me. What does it have to do with Guan Xiang'er?"

Nara laughed as if he heard some joke.

"How come it's none of her business? Before she came to the palace, the emperor didn't come to the harem either.

But everyone could still live in harmony, but since she came, this peace has been broken."

Nara suddenly became excited when he said this.

"Since she came to the palace, the stagnant harem has been broken up.

This is something none of us can tolerate, especially since the emperor has disbanded the harem for her.

Concubine Ling was also unwilling to give in, so I found her and joined forces with her.

I planned to keep her outside the palace without her ever coming back, but who knew she was so lucky that she managed to escape death."

Nara smiled provocatively at Qianlong.

"She probably didn't tell you that I sent people more than once, but unfortunately she noticed and dealt with them every time."

Nara felt a little admiration

"I admire her magnanimity. I wanted to kill her so badly, but she was still chatting and laughing with you guys like nothing happened.

This is what I hate most about her, she makes herself look like a clown."

Qianlong looked at her and felt strange

"You weren't like this before. You didn't have so many intentions to harm others before."

Nara smiled bitterly

"Your Majesty, how long have you not been to the harem? You don't know, do you?

I have no intention of harming anyone, that's because I, like everyone else in the harem, have not received your favor.

But Hanxiang is different, as soon as she came, she took away all your attention and love."

Nara said with hatred

"I hate her. Without her, the harem would still be stagnant. At least we can live in harmony.

Why should she get all your love? That's why I want her dead".

Nara spoke out her true feelings and felt relieved.

Madam Rong felt upset when she looked at her own queen and tears streamed down her face.
