Rong Fei is not honored

Above the court

The adults looked at the people of the Hesheli family, especially Sony, who had not been seen for many days, with strange faces and subtle scrutiny in their eyes. The Hesheli family even moved out the seriously ill Sony, it seemed that the queen was really in danger this time.

No wonder, plotting to murder the royal heir is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. Even the queen cannot escape easily.

However, some ministers with more flexible minds had already thought of the last time the eldest prince was poisoned. At that time, the former court and the harem were all abuzz with rumors that Ma Jia had framed the queen in order to endanger the safety of her own son.

It's not that there was no suspicion that it was really the Queen who did it, but the Queen had the Hesheli family standing behind her, and Ma Jia was just a bondservant woman, so even if the Emperor had doubts, the voices in the court still overwhelmingly supported the Queen's innocence.

Now it seems that there are indeed many doubts. Let alone other things, just based on Ma Jia's family background, could she really frame the Queen and hide it from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?

Thinking back to the past, there was a vague speculation: The Emperor was bewitched by Ma Jia, so in order to help her to the throne, he did not hesitate to attack his own wife.

And now, the queen is so bold as to attack the royal heir in public. It is obvious that this is not the first time she has attempted to murder the royal heir.

Many ministers were somewhat embarrassed. At that time, they kept speculating about their own monarchs and even imagined that they were licentious and tyrannical tyrants. This was really wrong.

Who would have thought that the poisoning of Prince Chengrui was as simple as it seemed on the surface, and not a huge conspiracy against the Queen as they had imagined.

In this way, the words that His Majesty said that day seemed to be meaningful. They originally thought that His Majesty was forcibly trying to save his reputation and said some unclear words in order to arouse their suspicion and throw dirty water on the Empress.

Now it seems that this clearly shows that the Queen had attempted to attack the royal heir many times, but the Emperor still protected the Queen. The sentence "The Queen will always be my Queen" has made his attitude clear.

How can this work!

There is no trivial matter in the royal family, and the affairs of the harem are not only the Emperor’s family affairs, but also state affairs.

If there is a witch concubine who seduces the emperor, causes chaos in the harem, and wants to frame the queen, they will not allow it. However, if the queen is immoral and follows the style of Lu and Huo, they will not allow it either.

These ministers thought that they were loyal and that everything they did was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. They were eager to persuade the Emperor not to act on his own will but to consider the overall situation.

On that day, in order to protect the queen, the Hesheli family did not hesitate to throw dirty water on Kangxi and Ji Nai, describing them as tyrants and evil concubines. Now, all the consequences have backfired on Queen Hesheli.

"If you have a document, please submit it. If you don't, please leave the court."

"Your Majesty, at yesterday's flower viewing banquet, the Queen Mother murdered a pregnant concubine. This matter has spread like wildfire. If it is not dealt with quickly, it may shake the foundation of the country."

"You are exaggerating! How can a trivial matter in the harem shake the foundation of the country?"

"It's just a trivial matter. The Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty persecuted concubines and harmed the heir to the throne in public. How can this be a trivial matter?"

"Yes, the queen should be a role model for women all over the world, but now she is portrayed like this. How will the people view the royal family and the Qing Dynasty? If the reputation of the Aisin-Gioro family is tarnished because of the queen, wouldn't it be a threat to the foundation of the country?"

Kangxi sat at the top, quietly watching the people below quarreling. Among those who quarreled with the Hesheli family, there were not only the concubines' families, but also the royal family members.

It's no wonder. The queen's reputation is blemish, and their reputation and that of the royal family are most likely to be implicated. How could they sit still?

When the noise became more and more excessive, Kangxi shouted, "Enough, are you done yet? What do you think the court is? Do you still care about my existence?"

All the ministers were silent. It was not their fault for disrespecting Kangxi. It was just that the argument just now was too intense. They got so carried away that they completely forgot where they were.

Kangxi looked at Sony and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this old fox would come. It seemed that he couldn't convict the queen today. But it didn't matter. He didn't want to do that anyway.

Firstly, if the queen was convicted, people would not only say that the Hesheli family had poor upbringing, but after all, the queen was now the wife of the emperor. Kangxi would not allow the reputation of the Aixinjueluo family to be damaged because of the queen alone.

It had been less than a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, and the population gap between the Han and Manchu people was enormous. Kangxi would not leave any hidden dangers that would bring chaos to the country.

Secondly, the queen is not an ordinary concubine after all, she is an extremely special existence in the harem. For a capital crime like murdering the heir to the throne, the queen can be punished but not deposed, let alone executed directly.

But Kangxi now only wanted the queen's life, not only for Ji Nai and Cheng Rui, but also for the rest of his children. With such a vicious queen, the harem would be in turmoil and the royal heirs would be in danger.

Sure enough, Sony said, "The Queen is the mother of the country. How can we allow her to be slandered? Please don't let her go easily, Your Majesty!"

The queen sat in the empty hall, distraught. She didn't understand how she had become like this.

It was obvious that she wanted to be a qualified queen and a good wife to His Majesty. She wanted to be the first virtuous queen of the Qing Dynasty, to be unforgettable in His Majesty's heart, to leave a strong color in the Qing Dynasty and to leave her own mark in history books.

But now all the civil and military officials in the court know that she has plotted to murder the prince, is jealous and vicious, and is a witch.

Not only had there been whispers from the previous dynasty that they were going to depose the queen, but the family was also implicated. Mafa was angered to death because of his own affairs, and the family's reputation also plummeted because of him.

Not long after what happened in the court today, the marriages of several sisters in the clan had been cancelled. Those families completely ignored the fact that Hesheli still had a queen and a prince in the palace, and just said:

I couldn't believe the upbringing of the Hesheli family and was worried that having such a mistress would harm all the children in the family.

These merciless words were like a slap in the face of Hesheli Fangyi from a distance, and the queen felt both ashamed and angry.

Madam Zhao was waiting outside the palace, feeling uneasy. After hearing the news from the previous dynasty, she wanted to show some concern for her master, but was driven out by him.

Nanny Zhao originally thought that she was different from others, and that she should stay with her master at a time like this, so when the queen asked everyone to leave, she stayed.

But before she could say anything, the queen waved her hand and asked her to leave, wanting to be alone. Zhao Ma had no choice but to obey, but when she met other servants at the door and saw the surprise and confusion on their faces, she felt a little resentful towards her master.

It’s all my master’s fault for not giving me face. He made me lose face in front of other people. How am I going to manage Kunning Palace in the future?
