Rong Fei is not honored
Chapter 292 Dare not act rashly
As soon as Ji Nai walked out of the Cining Palace, he saw a group of people surrounding him, talking at once and making a lot of noise. Ji Nai frowned and scolded, "Okay, why are you arguing in front of the Cining Palace? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the Empress Dowager?"
A group of people shut up instantly. Concubine Zhaojia came out and asked on behalf of everyone, "Sister Rongpin, what does His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager mean by this? Please reveal something, so that I can feel at ease."
Ji Nai looked at the concubines surrounding him, as well as Huipin, Irgen Jueluo Concubine, and Dong Concubine who were not far away. All of them did not leave and looked at him.
Ji Nai sighed. It seemed that this matter had indeed made everyone in the six palaces uneasy. It was rare for them to be so united. However, Kangxi's original intention was not this, and he did not want to scare the concubines, so he just said it.
"What's the point? Isn't His Majesty's will very clear? He asked me to check myself."
Ji Nai's answer obviously did not satisfy everyone. Some people frowned and wanted to ask more questions, but were stopped by Concubine Zhao Jia, "What about after the self-examination?"
It is easier to talk to a smart person. Ji Nai smiled and said, "Of course, we should send the restless servant to the Ministry of Punishment."
After saying that, Ji Nai turned around and left without waiting for everyone to react. What a joke, she was almost dying of sleep. If it weren't for the spiritual liquid, her brain would have turned into a mess.
The concubines who were left behind looked at each other in bewilderment, "No, what does this mean? Why don't you explain it clearly!" There were many such complaints, of course not everyone agreed, there were still some who understood.
After getting the information they wanted, the concubines who had understood the situation left immediately, while those who didn't understand the situation, seeing that everyone had left, went to find the concubines they were on good terms with and asked them what was going on.
……
"Sister, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Didn't His Majesty tell us to check on our own? So whether there is anything wrong or not is up to us to decide."
"But, nothing will happen, right?"
"What could be the matter? Didn't you see that Rongpin wasn't nervous at all?"
"It seems so. Then, what's the point of His Majesty doing this?"
"I don't know either. But don't you have a traitor by your side? How about taking this opportunity to send him to the Ministry of Punishment?"
"Ah? That's not good. Then everyone will know that the servants around me were involved in the rumor. What if His Majesty and the Empress Dowager have a worse impression of me?"
"Forget it then, let's wait and see."
……
In the Cining Palace, after everyone left, the relief on the face of the Grand Empress Dowager disappeared instantly. She looked at Su Malagu seriously and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
The Empress Dowager understood Su Malagu. She had been with her all her life and they had a deep affection for each other, but she would never overstep the line by taking advantage of their friendship. Even if she spoke up, she would always keep to her duty.
Therefore, something must have happened that forced Su Malagu to speak so rudely and before herself.
Su Malagu smiled bitterly. What kind of thing was this? How did the Emperor know about it?
"Princess, I told you not to be angry."
The Empress Dowager became even angrier. Su Malagu looked like she must be in big trouble. She scolded, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Su Malagu did not dare to hide it any longer and told everything that Nanny An had reported to her about what had happened around the Third Princess. She also added the Empress Dowager's dowry nanny's plot against Concubine Rong and the many times she had been disrespectful to Concubine Rong before.
The former was said by Nanny An, and she also sent people to verify it, while the latter was something she found out when she was investigating the affairs of the Third Princess.
Finally, Su Malagu advised, "Princess, you must take care of yourself. Prince Saiyinchahun is still young, and the Empress Dowager can only rely on you."
The Empress Dowager knew Uyunna's character very well. She used to be angry at her for not fighting back, but now she has already recognized the facts.
Besides, a new emperor appoints his own ministers. Only someone with a character like Uyunna can be tolerated by the current emperor and live a better life. The Empress Dowager never thought of asking her to change.
But this does not mean that the Empress Dowager can accept that Wuyunna cannot even control the servants around her. Even the matter has been known by the Emperor. He still asked Rongpin to remind him in this way to save face for himself and Wuyunna.
"No wonder. He used to come here every day, but today he asked for leave. It seems that he doesn't dare to see me." The Empress Dowager was so angry that she almost laughed.
"Master, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Empress Dowager. The servants around the Third Princess colluded with each other and deceived the Empress Dowager. Besides, this matter has been suppressed and will not be spread out."
Speaking of the Third Princess, the Empress Dowager became even angrier, "If she had listened to me and taken Third Princess more seriously, she wouldn't have been deceived!"
"Who could have imagined that these servants would be so bold that they would forcibly separate the Third Princess from the Empress Dowager in the name of doing good for their masters. Fortunately, the Third Princess is fine and will not affect the relationship between the Emperor and Prince Changning. Otherwise, these people would deserve to die hundreds of times."
The Empress Dowager's expression relaxed. In fact, she had agreed with what Wu Yunna did before. After all, people are biased. Compared with a great-granddaughter, a niece who has been with them for many years is closer to them.
If those servants had not deceived their masters, if Wu Yunna had really contracted the disease because of the Third Princess, then the Empress Dowager would definitely dislike the Third Princess, and things would have developed in another direction.
The Empress Dowager was reluctant to blame Wu Yunna after all, "Send him to the Ministry of Punishment."
The Empress Dowager was not Kangxi. Even when she was in dire straits, because she was a prince, she was at most treated coldly and had never seen the "bear heart and leopard courage" of a servant.
But the Empress Dowager was not like that. She had been favored and out of favor before. Even with the care of her own aunt, she had suffered a lot. She knew that if she didn't punish severely, the servants in the palace would no longer take Shoukang Palace seriously.
Su Malagu was a little hesitant. If she sent the person to the Ministry of Punishment now, wouldn't it mean that the Empress Dowager was not ruling strictly enough?
The Grand Empress Dowager saw Su Malagu's concerns and explained, "Don't worry. Didn't the Emperor say that all six palaces should conduct self-examinations? Of course, Shoukang Palace is not the only one with problems."
"What do you mean, Master?"
The Empress Dowager gave Su Malagu a look, and she understood instantly, "Yes, I will do it right away."
The concubines who had just returned to the palace received the news that Shoukang Palace had actually sent a group of slaves to the Ministry of Punishment. No, what was going on?
Even if there really are slaves in the Empress Dowager's palace who need to be dealt with, just kill them in private. Why make a fuss? That would be slapping yourself in the face.
While everyone was in doubt, someone who was alert, thinking of Rongpin's words, reacted and quickly sent the suspicious "trap" in his palace to the Ministry of Punishment.
For a while, they were still confused, but those with a keen sixth sense followed suit. Some people originally wanted to wait and see, but the servants in their own palace suddenly "lost their heads" and made a big fuss. Now, even if they wanted to hide it, it would be impossible.
In the end, although the incident caused a big fuss, after the news spread outside the palace, everyone just thought that the palace was purging suspicious forces. They speculated what had happened again, or was it still a follow-up to the previous incident?
But no one, whether in the palace or outside, noticed that an old maid had disappeared from Shoukang Palace, and the people around the Third Princess had all been replaced. Of course, even if they noticed, they would just pretend they knew nothing.
However, although the masters and servants in the palace were all tormented, it was not entirely without benefits. At least everyone became much quieter.
With fewer open fights, the rats hiding in the dark naturally did not dare to act rashly, and Ji Nai and Hui Bin took the opportunity to tear open a hole in the Kunning Palace.
However, it was not done in secret, but openly, and the excuse was ready and legitimate. Didn't the Empress Dowager herself say that even if the Queen was sick, she was still the Queen after all and should not be treated poorly.
Then, it is naturally unreasonable for only Nanny Zheng to serve.
This was suggested by Concubine Hui, but she also called Ji Nai and Concubine Dong, and went to the Cining Palace in person to speak in front of the Empress Dowager.
