Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 138: Flawed Reputation

Kangxi said, with a faint smile, "One of the fragrances is with Chengrui. Guess how Chengrui smelled the other fragrance?"

Although Kangxi was smiling, no one really thought that His Majesty was happy. Under that smile, there was clearly a bone-chilling chill and a cold murderous intent.

Sony did not dare to speak any more at this time. His sharpness, which had been trained in the government for many years, warned him that this answer was not something he and the Hesheli family could bear. So Sony knelt down.

Seeing Sony surrender, Kangxi finally calmed down his turbulent emotions. He really wanted to expose everything regardless of the consequences and tear off the mask of the queen's virtuousness.

However, he can't.

Kangxi closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, he had regained his composure. "I told the Queen yesterday that this matter will not be investigated further, and the Queen will always be the Queen of the Qing Dynasty."

After that, he asked Liang Jiugong to announce the adjournment of the court. Chunchun came to the court today just to get angry. Even if there was something else, he didn't want to take care of it. Let's talk about it tomorrow.

The court officials retreated in twos and threes, discussing Kangxi's last words in low voices.

"Sir, tell me, what does His Majesty mean?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

......

"What His Majesty said really completely disgraced the Queen."

"How do you say this?"

"Your Majesty, don't you mean that this matter will not be pursued, just to protect the Queen?"

"Well, when I think about it carefully, it is true."

......

"How did Brother Chengrui smell the other fragrance?"

"do not know."

"So is this matter related to the Queen?"

"do not know."

"How come you don't know anything!"

"I really don't know anything, but I advise you not to know anything either."

"how do I say this?"

"It's clear that the place where the other incense appeared is extremely deadly, and even endangers the Queen's position."

"You mean!"

"I didn't say anything. Please don't hurt me. It's best not to know such royal secrets."

"You're right, we really should know nothing."

When the queen heard the news, she was trembling all over. What was going on? Why did this matter reach the previous dynasty? And the emperor, how could he treat me like this and not give me any face?

Nanny Zhao was worried about the Queen and hurried over to support her, but the Queen pushed her away and she almost fell.

The queen cried out in despair, "What happened? Why did Mafa know about this and bring it to the court?"

The queen knew very well that this matter was started by Mafa. If no one had reported it, this matter would have passed, and she would not have been stripped of her veil by the emperor in public. From now on, what reputation would she have as the queen?

Madam Zhao knew that it was the news sent back by Madam Yan that led to this accident. She was excited to get rid of her powerful enemy, but she pretended to be confused, "Master, I don't know either."

"However," Madam Zhao said hesitantly, "when you went to Zhongcui Palace to plead guilty yesterday, Madam Yan was gone."

"Madame Yan is missing, are you sure?" The queen naturally knew about the conflict between the two maids, so she was somewhat skeptical of what Madam Zhao said.

"Yes, I couldn't persuade you at that time, so I wanted to ask Nanny Yan to persuade you, but I couldn't find anyone."

The Queen turned her gaze to Xue Po, "Is what Madam Zhao said true?"

Xue Po wanted to excuse Nanny Yan, saying that she would never do such a thing, but she was a little unsure. Under the Queen's coercion, she dared only tell the truth, "Nanny was definitely not there at the time."

The Queen found the culprit and ordered Nanny Yan to come over. Nanny Zhao went there excitedly, leaving Xue Po and Xue Yi with worried looks.

After a while, Nanny Yan was dragged in in a miserable state, with her hair loose and one of her shoes missing.

The Queen ignored Nanny Yan's miserable condition and asked, "Nanny, I think I have treated you well, why do you want to harm me?"

Nanny Yan struggled and said, "I have never thought of harming my master."

"You didn't harm me, but do you know that now all the officials of the former dynasty know how vicious I, the Queen of the Qing Dynasty, am."

Nanny Yan was stunned for a moment. She was dealing with other matters in the back and had not received this news. It was not until she heard the Queen talk about it that she realized that it was the news she sent back that caused the big mistake.

"No, no, master, I did send the message back, but I made amends later and told the old master everything that happened."

"So, you contacted the Hesheli family without my knowledge again." The queen's expression became even colder.

Nanny Yan naturally noticed the change in the Queen's expression, but she didn't understand why the Queen became even angrier, since the Queen was obviously also a member of the Hesheli family.

The queen sneered, "Mammy, I cannot deny that you are loyal, but you have always been loyal to the Hesheli family, even when you work for me."

"But my lady, you are also a princess of the Hesheli family."

"I am, but I am also the daughter-in-law of the Aisin-Gioro family, the wife of His Majesty, and the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. But you, Madam, always put the interests of the family first and never sincerely considered me."

Just like the queen before her, she didn't put herself in the right position.

It's not that the queen didn't notice it, but her wet nurse was not a smart one, while Nanny Yan was really useful. In addition, the queen's interests were previously aligned with those of the Hesheli family, so she let it go and did nothing, which led to today's outcome.

"I don't know what went wrong with the message you sent back, but if you hadn't acted on your own, this disaster could have been avoided. My reputation and the reputation of the Hesheli family's princesses are all thanks to you."

Nanny Yan became excited and wanted to ask again, what happened? How could it involve the reputation of the girls in the family? But the queen had lost her patience and directly asked Nanny Zhao to take the people to the yard.

He ordered: "Keep beating, don't stop. Also let all the palace servants in Kunning Palace go and see what happens to those who disobey orders."

Kangxi, who was staying in Zhongcui Palace, learned about the farce in Kunning Palace and was even unwilling to let anyone investigate the cause.

If he had committed any other mistake, he would not have beaten him to death in public. What else could he have done to be so cruel? The queen always liked to shirk responsibility. It was nothing more than that the palace servant did not meet the queen's expectations, and Kangxi was too lazy to pursue it.

After Nanny Yan died, the Queen learned her lesson from Ma Jia and did not dare to keep Xue Po and Xue Yi, who were promoted by Nanny Yan. She found a random reason and sent them to the Xinzheku.
