Rong Fei is not honored
Chapter 175 Concubine Hui swears
"Empress Hui, do you dare to say that you have never thought about living in the Central Palace? Do you dare to swear?"
"You!" Concubine Hui naturally didn't dare to do that. She might have been a staunch materialist fighter in the past, but now, after experiencing the time-travel incident, how could Concubine Hui dare not believe in the power of gods and ghosts?
Even she, who had seen the new era, began to fear karma, let alone these ignorant ancients. That was why Concubine Hui used words like karma to stimulate the queen and make her lose control.
"You don't dare! Your Majesty doesn't dare. Look, I am really wronged."
"Your Highness, why are you talking about something else? The issue we are arguing about now is your intention to harm the heir to the throne. What are you talking about?"
"Weren't you the one who brought up the past first?"
"That's enough," Kangxi said impatiently. He knew that neither of them was innocent, and he didn't have time to listen to their arguments. "Everything that happened yesterday was a mess. There's no need to talk about it anymore. Let's just talk about what was right and wrong today."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Although the Queen and Concubine Hui were unwilling, they could only agree since Kangxi had already spoken.
"Your Majesty, even if Concubine Hui is not targeting the Empress, she must have other intentions. Maybe she is dissatisfied with my daily advice to her, so she bears a grudge against me. Your Majesty, please understand me. I am really wronged. What happened today was all planned by her."
"Your Majesty, when have I ever violated the palace rules? It's just that the Empress couldn't bear to see me being favored, so she picked on me. Even so, I won't hate the Empress for this. After all, Your Majesty has always been on my side."
Concubine Hui glanced at Kangxi shyly, her eyes full of affection.
When the queen saw this, her face was twisted with anger. What a bitch! Originally, the queen mentioned that she had advised Concubine Hui to remind His Majesty and the Empress Dowager of Concubine Hui's usual behavior.
The other party has always been domineering and has repeatedly provoked the queen in public. He has no respect for the mother of the country. It seems that it is not impossible that he is so bold as to frame the queen.
But Hui Shufei mentioned Kangxi, implicitly refuting the Queen's words. After all, in many confrontations with the Queen, Hui Shufei always lost less and won more, because Kangxi stood behind her.
With the favor and support of Kangxi, Concubine Hui repeatedly trampled on the majesty of Kunning Palace, so if there is any resentment, it should be the Queen who resents Concubine Hui. So it is understandable that the other party acted impulsively today.
"Concubine Hui is really cruel. In order to frame me, she even used her own child. Aren't you afraid that something will really happen? But then again, you already have a healthy prince, so you are naturally willing to take the risk of giving this one up."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so why does the Queen always speak of me in such a vicious way? Even if I am cruel, I will never lay a hand on a child. Isn't that the behavior of an animal?
Even if it was for that innocent child who had nothing to do with me, I would not do this. I always felt that the child had returned, how could I bear to hurt him. "
Kangxi watched Concubine Hui gently caressing her belly, and his doubts grew. In fact, he was inclined to believe that this was a self-directed and self-acted incident by Nara, after all, the queen's first move was a killing move, but Nara was just in labor, and there were no serious consequences.
Moreover, the queen was not stupid enough to murder a pregnant concubine in public. However, Concubine Hui looked so sincere and sincere, could it be that he was overthinking all this?
What happened today was truly an accident. The Queen lost her mind in an impulsive manner, or she did it on purpose to make others think that she would never do such a stupid thing.
However, Concubine Hui knew that this child was most likely the eldest prince Yinzhi in history, the eldest son of Kangxi, who had oppressed the crown prince so much that he could not breathe, and was one of the nine princes competing for the throne.
With this child and her own teaching, Concubine Hui was confident that she could help him ascend to the throne in this life. Rather than saying that it was the child that made Concubine Hui treat him so gently, it was the wealth and power that Potian had.
The Queen knew that she had been cornered. This was the first time she knew that Concubine Hui not only had a bad temper, but also had a sharp tongue. But it was no wonder, as Concubine Hui had planned this matter, and she had naturally considered all the details.
Then, the queen thought of what Nara had said to her today about sins and karma. Her words were so convincing that they did not sound like fabrications. Since Nara knew so much, she probably believed it.
Otherwise, when she asked Nara to swear an oath, she would not have changed the subject and aroused suspicion. The queen knew that this method was not safe and could be easily defeated by Nara, but the queen had run out of tricks and this was her last chance.
The Queen could only take this one gamble. If she won, today's predicament would be resolved, and Concubine Hui might lose the favor of the Emperor. But if she lost, she would be completely defeated and there would be no recovery.
"Your Majesty, today I have been framed and I am powerless to defend myself. But justice is clear and the truth will come out one day. Concubine Hui, you have framed the Empress and used your own son as a concubine. You will definitely be punished."
"Even now, Her Majesty the Queen is still being stubborn. If there really is retribution in this world, I would not be the first one to suffer."
"Then Concubine Hui, do you dare to swear? Swear: If you deliberately framed me today, your child will be killed just as you planned, and you will lose everything you gained because of your calculations."
There was no malicious word in the Queen's words, but Concubine Hui shuddered. It was fine if the child was harmed by someone, but the sentence of losing everything gained by calculation meant that she would lose her favor, status, power, and the heart of the emperor.
Concubine Hui wanted to cheat and change the subject by making a scene, but she didn't expect that at this moment, the Grand Empress Dowager would suddenly say, "In this case, Nara, you should swear an oath, so that the Queen will give up completely."
"Grand Empress Dowager?" Concubine Hui looked at the Grand Empress Dowager and forced a smile. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the unquestionable look in the other party's eyes.
Concubine Hui looked at Kangxi for help, but she only saw his scrutiny. Concubine Hui did not dare to speak again, because she knew that she had no way to avoid this.
In the end, Concubine Hui could only bite the bullet and say, "I swear here today that if I am the one who framed the Queen today, I will definitely... definitely lose everything I have gained through my scheme, and my plan will come true."
Concubine Hui didn't dare to say directly that the child was killed by someone, and finally she just said it vaguely. For some reason, after Concubine Hui swore, she felt very panicked. She could only keep comforting herself that the oath was all false.
In their previous lives, so many scumbags swore that they would be struck by lightning if they told lies, but they still lived a very comfortable life.
