Rong Fei is not honored

Kangxi suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice: "You know what happened in the palace yesterday? It seems that my harem has really become a sieve."

"this."

Just when the censor was at a loss for words, another person jumped out and said, "Yesterday, the Empress took off her hairpins and outer clothes, walked to the outside of Zhongcui Palace, knelt down and apologized. This matter caused a sensation and has long been spread outside the palace. How can it still be a secret?"

"Then why did the Queen do this?"

"Of course I was forced by others!"

"Forced? Who forced me? Was it me? Or Ma Jia?"

"Of course it's the evil concubine who seduced the master!" This censor was stubborn, and although he didn't say it directly, the meaning of his words was very clear.

"Those who can be deceived are all incompetent rulers. My dear, are you trying to say that I am a incompetent ruler?" Kangxi did not get angry but laughed instead. He advocated that Manchus and Han people should be one family in order to stabilize the country, but it did not mean that he was really afraid of these so-called censors.

"I dare not." The censor finally retreated, but turned his spearhead towards Ji Nai again, "But Your Majesty, Ma Jia is of humble origin, and now she is imitating the story of Emperor Wu. With such ambition, Your Majesty, please punish her severely."

"Emperor Wu? Even if Ma Jiashi really has this ability, the Queen is not the stupid Queen Wang."

"Your Majesty, I am not joking with you!"

"Really? But I thought you were all joking."

The ministers below were all confused. They had no idea why the Emperor would react like that. Even Sony frowned. The direction of events was not what he expected.

In his imagination, even if the Emperor could withstand the pressure, he would still be angry, and it would be best if he punished the censor who made direct criticism. If this matter were to spread, Ma Jia would surely become infamous, and even if the Emperor felt pity and wanted to compensate her, this person would no longer be a threat.

"Just now you said that Ma Jia's status was low, it was simply because she came from a bannerman family, so you think that if something happened to the queen, a bannerman woman could climb to the throne?"

Kangxi's words were not meant to belittle Ji Nai, but were the truth. Baoyi were the exclusive servants of the royal family, and the noble ladies of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were not extinct.

After these words fell, there was a faint laugh in the court, and the people who made the noise were all nobles from prominent families. They were not fools, so they naturally knew what was going on today.

To be honest, the Hesheli family is really nothing among the big Manchu surnames. Otherwise, Oboi would not have said "the daughter of a Manchu servant" at the beginning.

But Sony was the regent, and in order to compete with Oboi, the Hesheli family got lucky, otherwise it is unknown who would have gotten the princess. So few people would believe that Ma Jia followed Wu Zetian's example and framed the queen with her own son.

Prince Chengrui is actually the eldest son. As long as he is still alive, he may be able to compete for the throne in the future. At that time, Ma Jia will be the empress dowager and will be truly honorable.

But now he was using his only child to plot against the queen and pull her down, and then he would watch other noble ladies ascend to the throne? Was Ma Jia so kind?

The censor who made the direct remonstrance also realized this, but still said stubbornly: "I heard that Prince Chengrui is fine now." This meant that Chengrui was not poisoned, but it was just a self-torture trick.

Kangxi really could no longer tolerate it, so he picked up the memorial in his hand and smashed it down, hitting the man until his head was bleeding.

"After Chengrui was poisoned, the Imperial Hospital took great pains to save him all night, which saved his life. However, he will never be able to ride a horse or shoot arrows again. This is what you mean by okay."

There was an uproar in the court. The Qing Dynasty was an empire founded on horseback. His Majesty's public statement meant that Prince Chengrui no longer had the qualifications to compete for the heir. Even if he was not dead, this prince was useless.

Several important officials secretly glanced at the Hesheli family. They did not expect the queen to be so cruel. The officials who had Hesheli wives at home were all green-faced. They did not dare to think whether the death of their children was also man-made.

The child mortality rate in this era is already high, and with the backyard fighting, every family has a few children who died in vain, but I never took it to heart before. But now that I have a preconceived idea of this, it seems more and more true.

Sony could no longer remain calm. If this continued, the reputation of the Hesheli princesses would be ruined.

He stepped out of the line and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether it was the Queen who did this. Even if it was, please forgive me for being blunt, but this doesn't mean that the Queen should take off her hairpin and apologize. You must know that the Emperor and the Queen are one, and the Queen also represents your face."

In fact, this matter concerns the queen. In order to avoid suspicion, Sony had better not speak up in person. Standing up at this moment, it is obvious that he is anxious. Kangxi snorted coldly. He thought Sony would shrink all the time. Sure enough, only when it does not concern you can you be as calm as a mountain.

The censor also figured out the key to the matter and spoke up again, only arguing that there was no need for the queen to lower her status and do such a thing, but he did not mention that Ma Jia also had no motive.

The court officials could not help but ponder. What the old fox Sony said was right. In fact, it was common for the royal heirs to be killed in the palace, and it was not uncommon even in the ministers' backyards.

Just because of a child, it is not necessary to do anything to the legitimate wife, nor is it necessary to commit such an embarrassing crime that the dignified Empress of the Central Palace was put in such an embarrassing situation. Is there really another conspiracy here?

If Sony had not stood on the opposite side of him, Kangxi would have praised him and in a few words, he could have turned the matter into a conspiracy theory. Ji Nai did not have this ability, but he, the emperor, did.

Could it be that Sony thought that since the queen had given birth to a legitimate son, he thought that everything was fine and that he could leave the emperor behind and support the young emperor to ascend the throne? Kangxi was apprehensive.

In fact, Sony had never really thought about it this way. It was purely Kangxi's imperial suspicion that was at work.

Sony only wanted to keep her position as queen, but Nanny Yan spread such serious news that Sony misjudged the situation. Despite the pressure of displeasing Kangxi, she had to get rid of the blame this time.

"So you didn't know? I really thought Lord Suo knew everything about the harem."

Sony's eyelids twitched at the tone of His Majesty. Could there be something he didn't know? He said he was careless. The news did not say how the queen poisoned her.

Kangxi said slowly, "The imperial physician said that the poison in Chengrui was a mixture of two spices. The two spices alone are not toxic, but have a calming effect. However, if they are smelled by the same person, they will become highly toxic when mixed in the body."

Many court officials followed His Majesty's thoughts and thought that this was a really clever idea. I'm afraid no one would have thought that they would be poisoned like this before the incident. They couldn't help but shudder. Such a clever idea was used to harm people. It was really hard to guard against.
