Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!
Chapter 433: Pressing forward towards the Crown Prince’s mother clan
There was an uproar.
"What do you mean by abducted and forced into the palace? Didn't this maid volunteer?"
"Killing people and bringing them into the palace? If this gets out, it will really damage the reputation of our royal family!"
"No way, what's going on?"
Lian Kangxi was shocked, and when he reacted, his eyes became even gloomier.
If what Xi Hui said was true, then the person behind the scenes was extremely bold.
At this time, Concubine Xi and Lady Hesheli were even more confused than everyone else present. They just found Xi Hui on the street by accident!
How did it become a robbery? The first reaction of the two was that Xi Hui was lying.
Then a horrifying thought popped into my mind: Is it possible that Xi Hui was not lying?
If she was really abducted, then the person behind the scenes would not only know about their counter-plan, but also plotted against Xi Hui.
This time they are really going to be screwed.
Who is the person behind this?
The prince didn't care about the embarrassment in his heart at this time and frowned.
He was also a smart man. He had just been temporarily frightened by the sudden appearance of Xi Hui, who looked like his royal mother. Now he also realized that the situation was not going in the right direction.
Who would find a woman who looks like his mother and send her into the palace?
There must be some benefits.
What are the benefits?
Apart from Xi Hui herself who can rise to fame overnight, what about someone who looks like his royal mother? Would the emperor think of his royal mother every time he sees her? Who would benefit from this?
When he came to this conclusion, the prince felt cold all over.
Could it be that this Xi Hui was sent into the palace by her own maternal family?
Compared to the Crown Prince's astonishment, the eldest prince and Concubine Hui and her son almost laughed out loud after being surprised. They never expected that Xi Hui was abducted.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it was not done by them. The most likely person to do it was the crown prince or the Hesheli clan behind him. It is likely that they saw that Imperial Noble Consort Xian was pregnant, so they panicked and made this bad move.
The result was a backlash from a bad move. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity that God has given you, it would be a waste.
The eldest prince's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly spoke with great sorrow:
"What? Such a cruel thing actually happened in the palace? It's simply outrageous."
Then he looked at Xi Hui:
"Don't be afraid. You said you were abducted and forced into the palace. What happened? Don't worry. My father is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He is the most benevolent to the people. If what you said is true, my father will make the decision for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene fell silent. Everyone noticed something was going to happen. Concubine Xi and Lady Hesheli clenched their handkerchiefs tightly, their hearts sinking inch by inch.
Shi Nanxi remained silent, she just needed to watch the scene. Kangxi narrowed his eyes and said nothing, as if he approved of what the eldest prince had done.
Xi Hui met the eldest prince's expression.
Ask carefully:
"Really? As long as I tell you everything, Your Majesty can make the decision for me?"
The eldest prince straightened his chest, looked righteous and selfless, and said loudly:
"You're still a liar. Father, the emperor is here. He will definitely give you justice and bring the person who kidnapped you to justice."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the prince, his eyes full of provocation. The prince clenched his hands, and a trace of anger and panic flashed in his eyes.
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows proudly, then looked at the silent Kangxi.
"Is that so, my Royal Father?"
Kangxi's expression was unpredictable, and his tone was indescribable:
"Yes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Crown Prince's face turned pale, and Concubine Xi and Lady Hesheli almost lost their composure in public. The court officials present looked at each other in silence.
The atmosphere was solemn and tense, but Shi Nanxi remained calm. The prince was innocent, but since the person behind him was trying to get him, he should be prepared to be chopped off.
The eldest brother was overjoyed and immediately looked at Xi Hui:
"Okay, you've heard it, tell me the truth quickly so that my father can do you justice."
Xi Hui's eyes turned red and she began to tell her own experience.
"My original name is Xi Hui. I live in Jinan Prefecture. My family runs a cloth shop left by our ancestors. My parents and younger brother are all alive. I have a childhood sweetheart, a fiancé."
Having said this, she could no longer hold back her tears and everyone present was shocked once again.
I didn’t expect that Xi Hui was actually from Jinan Prefecture and had a fiancé?
If she was really allowed into the emperor's harem, wouldn't that make the emperor a cuckold? Everyone couldn't help but secretly look at Kangxi, who was at the top.
Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but those who were familiar with him knew that he was extremely angry. Although he would not take Xi Hui into the harem, the conspiracy of the person behind the scenes was truly deceiving the emperor and was extremely abominable and hateful.
The prince's face turned pale, and Concubine Xi and Lady Hesheli also had cold sweat on their backs.
The eldest prince and Concubine Hui were delighted again. Oh my God, this Xi Hui actually had a fiancé. The emperor must be even more furious now.
After Xi Hui wiped her tears,
Continued:
"A month ago, I went through the six rituals with my fiancé and decided to get married at the end of this year. I informed my parents and went out to prepare for the wedding. But I was kidnapped and taken to the capital. When I arrived, I was locked up in a house. Then a middle-aged maid came and looked at my face carefully. She said that they looked a lot like each other. I didn't know who I looked like, and I was very scared."
After hearing this, everyone knew that what the middle-aged nanny said was indeed a resemblance, and that it was referring to Xi Hui's resemblance to Empress Xiaocheng who had passed away many years ago.
“Then the middle-aged maid finished speaking, and seeing that I was scared, she comforted me, saying that she was not a bad person, and that as long as I listened to her, her master would give me wealth, but if I didn’t listen, my family and fiancé would be in danger.
For the sake of my family and my fiancé, I had no choice but to obey. Afterwards, I was dressed up and sent to Yandaixie Street. I was told that a playboy would pass by there and he would arrange everything after seeing my face.
Hearing this, Mrs. Hesheli's face changed slightly. It was indeed so.
Baotai did not meet this person by chance. Although he had realized that his family had been plotted against, he was still shocked, angry and panicked after confirming it.
At this time, Xi Hui talked about how the playboy met her, saw her face, and took her to a wealthy family.
Hearing this, the eldest brother couldn't wait to interrupt:
"You said a wealthy family, do you know what's written on the door?" It would be great if we could directly point out the Hesheli Mansion behind the prince.
However, Xi Hui shook her head:
"I was very scared at the time and kept my head down the whole time. I didn't see the name written on the door. When I entered the door, I was still greeted by a maid. She looked at my face and said that it looked very similar. Then she went out for a while and came back to place me in an outer courtyard. Someone taught me etiquette and rules. Then she told me that my name had been added to the list of selected bondsers and that I could enter the palace as a maid. But she warned me that I was just a substitute and not to expect anything else."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was suddenly thoughtful, especially the last sentence, which had already vaguely indicated who the wealthy family Xi Huiruo was talking about.
They glanced at Mrs. Hesheli vaguely. Mrs. Hesheli tried her best to maintain her facial expression, but the sweat on her palms had already wet her handkerchief.
Kangxi didn't say anything, but his hand rubbed the jade ring faster and faster.
The eldest prince also glanced at Madam Hesheli, trying to suppress the smile on his face. After retracting his gaze, he asked Xi Hui affectionately:
"You said before that someone deliberately brought you to the Zongzi Banquet and gave you the chance to shoot the golden plate. Do you know who brought you here? What did the person behind the scenes ask you to do?"
Xi Hui shook her head:
"I just received a call from the steward one day in advance saying that there was a shortage of manpower and asked me to come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to help today. As for what the person behind the scenes asked me to do..."
She lowered her head and lowered her voice:
"She said that in such a grand occasion, the emperor, all the officials, the royal family, and the ladies of honor are all present, so she wants me to show my face while shooting the golden plate. Then someone will definitely recognize my face, and then I will be extremely rich."
After saying this, she kowtowed heavily:
"I am just a commoner. I have never dreamed of being rich. Everything I said is true. I beg Your Majesty, I beg the eldest prince to help me!"
