Rong Fei is not honored

So after weighing the pros and cons, these people still submitted the existing results, and the emperor decided whether to continue the investigation. As expected, Liang Jiugong scolded them again, but it was better to be scolded than to lose your head.

When Kangxi saw what his subordinates presented to him, he was annoyed, but he also understood that it was not easy to investigate the matter further. If he went wrong, it would alert the Empress Dowager. Kangxi was not ready to fall out with the Empress Dowager yet.

Kangxi's heart was finally at peace. No matter whether the palace maid had known the truth long ago or was being plotted against, there was no doubt that Tong Jia was plotting against him.

They had clearly learned the news recently, but their first reaction was not to tell me so that I could follow the clues and find out whether it was true or not. Tong Jiashi first thought about how to profit for herself, using the death of her mother and their relatives to profit.

The first thing she did after hearing the news was to kill the palace maid who delivered the news, and then she fabricated a story and produced many witnesses and evidence. Not to mention that Tong Jia was eager to avenge her mother, so the fabrication increased the authenticity of the matter.

These words could have fooled a fool, but Tong Jia treated herself as a fool and fooled and deceived her, or they thought they would not delve into it.

However, Kangxi thought about it calmly. Just based on the misery and helplessness of the mother in Tong Guowei's words, if he trusted Tong Jia, even if he felt something was fishy, he would have already determined the matter after seeing the so-called evidence. Why would he investigate again and again?

It can be said that this was a big gamble by the Tonggiya clan, and they won. From then on, the Tonggiya clan became the most glorious and noble surname in the Qing Dynasty, second only to the Aisin-Gioro clan. As long as the emperor was alive, no one could touch his mother's clan.

Even his own princes and princesses could not compare to the position of Tong Jia in his heart. If women from Tong Jia entered the palace, he would also give them supreme honor and special treatment.

Just like in the previous life.

But unfortunately, Tong Jia lost the bet. No emperor would be willing to be fooled, not to mention that the other party was using his biological mother to make a profit. They were relatives of E'niang, and Kangxi would not be lenient, but would feel more hateful.

However, for the sake of Empress Xiaokangzhang, Kangxi would not retaliate openly, but would silently keep this account in his heart.

However, Ji Nai, the driving force behind all this, did not expect that Kangxi would directly find out Tong Jia's plan. She was still thinking about how to reveal this news to the Empress Dowager when Tong Jia was at her most glorious.

It's no wonder that Ji Nai didn't notice anything. Kangxi was just like usual. He still respected the Empress Dowager and became closer to Tong Jia. Who would have thought that these two parties were already in Kangxi's heart.

But that time was still too far away, so Ji Nai simply put the matter out of his mind. In order to appear normal in front of Kangxi and avoid being accidentally exposed, the best thing to do was to forget it.

Ji Nai was getting more and more comfortable with this kind of thing, since she had her own notebook, Yuan Xu. Yuan Xu protested to Ji Nai about this, saying that this was clearly an excuse for Ji Nai to be lazy, but the protest was ineffective.

As for Xiao Anzi, he knew that he would be safe only if he kept his mouth shut. Therefore, except for Ji Nai and Xiao Anzi, no one in Zhongcui Palace knew that their master had quietly done something earth-shattering.

However, what Ji Nai did not expect was that while he was scheming against others, he also fell into someone else's trap.

In June, the weather in the Forbidden City had begun to heat up, but Ji Nai, for Chengrui's sake, only placed a small basin of ice in the hall. When Kangxi walked in, he felt that there was not much difference between the inside and the outside of the house, and it was not as cool as he had imagined.

Kangxi couldn't help but frown, "But someone has deducted your share?" This someone naturally refers to the queen.

Ji Nai smiled and walked forward to wipe Kangxi's sweat with a handkerchief. She then ordered someone to move the ice basin closer and said in a gentle voice, "Of course there is none. It's just that I'm afraid that using too much ice will hurt Chengrui's body, so I dare not use too much."

Kangxi nodded and said nothing more, but he thought of the coolness in Kunning Palace just now. He thought he would have to tell the empress next time. After all, Chenghu's health was not as good as Chengrui's.

At the same time, I was having a headache. I didn't know how to talk to the Queen. If I said something wrong, the Queen would probably think too much. I was afraid that if I said it myself, the Queen would think that I was blaming her for not being diligent. Otherwise, I should let the imperial physician remind me.

Over there, Kangxi was lost in his own thoughts, and over here, Ji Nai's nose twitched slightly, as if he smelled something. He turned his head to look at Yu Sheng, only to see him making a gesture without making any expression.

Ji Nai raised his eyebrows, threw the handkerchief in his hand directly to Kangxi, asked him to wipe it himself, then turned and left.

Kangxi just came back to his senses and didn't understand why Ji Nai was angry. He said with a smile: "How did I offend you?"

"How could that be? I just feel tired from wiping, so I trouble Your Majesty to do it yourself." Ji Nai answered with a smile, but that smile was as fake as it could be.

As long as he was not in a bad mood, Kangxi would not get angry when Ji Nai got angry occasionally, he would just think it was fun. But today Kangxi wanted to tease Ji Nai, and since Ji Nai said so, he just pretended nothing happened and went straight to tease Cheng Rui.

Ji Nai stared at Kangxi in disbelief. What did this bastard mean? He always came to coax her! Ji Nai reflected, has he fallen out of favor? Is it too late to love her when her beauty has not faded?

But Saiyin Chahun and the others were not born yet, and Chengrui was the eldest son. If he really fell out of favor, what should he do? In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Ji Nai's mind.

It was not until she met Kangxi's smiling eyes that her heart finally settled down.

Good fellow, Ji Nai exclaimed, good fellow, this bastard is teasing her. Does he know that this will scare people to death? Humph! Ji Nai frowned and stopped talking to Kangxi.

After Ji Nai and he had a cold war, Kangxi realized that she was really angry. Kangxi touched his nose and did not express anything until he was alone in the tent at night, then he began to comfort her.

When Ji Nai finally softened her attitude and complained to him that he ignored her when she was angry, Kangxi smiled bitterly and explained, "I knew you couldn't hold it in and would say it yourself, but I didn't expect you to get so angry."

Ji Nai gnashed her teeth and said, "So it is me who is petty and unreasonable!"

Seeing the threat in Ji Nai's eyes, Kangxi quickly admitted his mistake, "Of course not, I went too far." Just kidding, even for his own future welfare, he had to deny it quickly.
