Rong Fei is not honored

The Empress Dowager sighed, "It seems that we have no choice but to get to the bottom of this matter." This was originally the Empress Dowager's strategy of retreating in order to advance. She knew that as long as Oboi was there, the matter would never end here.

The Empress Dowager finally asked Su Malagu to investigate it herself. After all, Su Malagu was more experienced than Liang Jiugong, and she quickly found out the truth.

"It turned out to be you." Kangxi was very disappointed. In public and private terms, the queen was the person he least wanted, but it was the fact. "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. I had no idea about this matter. I am innocent." The queen immediately knelt down and cried out for justice.

Queen Hesheli looked a little nervous, but she quickly calmed down. She believed that Xuemei would never implicate herself no matter what. This was the confidence brought by Xuemei's entire family staying in Hesheli's mansion. She didn't think Xuemei had the courage to betray her.

But Xuemei just knelt down and kowtowed solemnly to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi. She did not cry out for injustice or beg for mercy. She just said calmly: "Since Xuezhi died, I knew that this day would come for me. But please, Your Majesty, please let my family go."

The Empress Dowager was surprised by the servant's reaction. "To murder the heir to the throne is a heinous crime that will punish all nine generations of your clan. You still dream of forgiving your family."

"I know, but who did I suffer for? I'm sure the Empress Dowager and His Majesty know. I knew I was going to die, so I told my family the truth when I returned home. If something goes wrong, they will spread the news. Everyone will know that it was the Queen of the Qing Dynasty who was jealous and murdered the heir."

Xuemei's expression was calm. "But if His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are willing to forgive my family, I am willing to take all the blame and die to atone for my crime. At the same time, my family will sever ties with me, expose my crime and prove that the Queen has nothing to do with this matter."

"It's only the servants who are so vicious, while the Queen is still the innocent Miss Siquan." When Xuemei said this, there was some sarcasm in her voice.

The queen couldn't believe it. She could never have imagined that Xuemei would say such words and do such a thing. She looked up at Kangxi, expecting to see something. But all she saw was Kangxi's cold eyes. Queen Hesheli felt as if she was in an ice cellar, and her blood froze.

How could the royal family be threatened? However, after Kangxi sent people to investigate, he found that the whole capital had spread the news that the queen was plotting to murder the heir. The Aixinjueluo family was so embarrassed. The Empress Dowager did not expect that a mere servant would dare to do such a thing. If she had known earlier...

Empress Hesheli really didn't know how to react. Everything in front of her was beyond her expectations. Nanny Yan had no choice but to interrupt and said, "The Hesheli family is incompetent, and they raised such a rebellious servant who dared to murder the heir to the throne. The Hesheli family is willing to be punished."

This was to remind Kangxi that the Queen was a member of the Hesheli family. If His Majesty still wanted to use Sony, he would have to think twice before making any move and take the Hesheli family's feelings into consideration.

Kangxi laughed in anger, "What a virtuous queen, what a great Hesheli family." First, the servants threatened the master with the reputation of the Aisin-Gioro family, and then they directly brought up Sony and the Hesheli family to exonerate their master. This was a provocation to himself as the emperor. The Hesheli family was great from the master to the servants.

Perhaps Liu Ma's original intention was to protect her master and to remove her from the matter, but her words put the Hesheli family on the same level as Oboi. Even if the emperor really compromised, it would undoubtedly be a great humiliation for Kangxi.

The Qing Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty of the Aisin-Gioro family, not the Qing Dynasty of the Guwalja clan, nor the Qing Dynasty of the Hesheli clan, especially since the Hesheli clan had the sensitive status of an in-law.

(Aobai, from the Guwalgiya clan, a member of the Bordered Yellow Banner of Manchuria)

Perhaps in the short term, Kangxi will not do anything, but when Kangxi holds great power, any thought of today will touch the emperor's sensitive nerves, and the Hesheli family will never have a good ending.

Kangxi finally compromised. Even if he was angry, he was still an emperor and had to consider the overall situation and not be emotional. Even if he didn't consider the situation in the court, just for the queen, the Qing Dynasty still needed a clean queen. So, with the tacit approval of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, Xuemei's plan began to be implemented.

Outside the palace, Oboi felt as if he was being treated as a fool. Who would believe that a servant would act without the master's instruction? But Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and everyone in the palace, including the servant who committed the crime, all said the same thing, so Oboi could not continue to dwell on the matter.

However, Aobai was extremely unwilling to give up, so he left a sentence before leaving: "The daughter of a Manchu servant is not fit to be the queen."

Not to mention Kangxi's frustration, although the Empress Dowager felt that Oboi's words were harsh, she also agreed with them in her heart.

The accident at the New Year's Eve banquet brought an end to the tragedy: Concubine Nara lost her child, Concubine Majia had to stay in bed until she gave birth, and the Queen, who was lax in her management of her subordinates, voluntarily confined herself to Kunning Palace to reflect on her mistakes, handed over her power, and was temporarily managed by the Grand Empress Dowager. It can be said that in this harem struggle, only the Grand Empress Dowager was the winner.

Kangxi was very cold to the empress at one point, even ignoring the rules of the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and did not step into Kunning Palace for three months. You know, this year the empress was old enough to sleep with him.

Not to mention the Queen's regret and anxiety, Concubine Nara in the Yanxi Palace still cannot believe that it was because of her greed and her trust in the villain that she harmed her own child.

Qing Su was frightened to death during this period. Her master always muttered to herself in the middle of the night when no one was around, saying that it shouldn't be like this, and it should be Ma Jia's child who died. If this word got out, wouldn't the emperor think that her master was cursing the heir to the throne? Didn't he see that even the queen fell out of favor because of attacking the heir to the throne, let alone a little concubine?

During this period, the Emperor gave the master many rewards because he felt sorry for the loss of his child, but he never stepped into the Yanxi Palace. If this continued, the master would really fall out of favor. However, the master was completely unaware of the danger of his situation and was in a daze all day. What would happen if this continued?

In the harem, it is common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and concubines who have fallen out of favor live a life worse than the lowest-ranking servants.

Until one day, news suddenly came from outside the palace that a fire had broken out in Hesheli's mansion, killing many people, including Na Xuemei's family.

Xuemei was the real murderer who killed the young master. Qingsu felt that if he told the master about this, she would be very happy, so he ran to tell the master excitedly.

"Her family is all dead?"

"Yes, this is retribution. Their daughter killed our little prince, which is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. But because of their meritorious service in exposing the crime, His Majesty spared them. But God did not want to let them go. This is a punishment from heaven. All servants who are related to Xuemei will be burned to death without a single one."
