She was also thinking that the two of them had been together for such a long time, and people from the previous dynasty would talk about the selection of concubines in front of Kangxi from time to time, and the Empress Dowager was also eyeing them covetously in the harem.

So what she had to do was not only to make Kangxi's heart stay with her, but also to ensure that Kangxi would not have any feelings for anyone other than her.

Visual impact should be a good choice, right?

After cutting out a few pieces of material and fiddling with them for a long time, she finally came up with a rough shape.

"My lady, what is this? It's so weird!"

Dulan looked at the thing in Harigana's hand with a puzzled look.

"Uh! It's nothing. Go get a piece of red cloth, something softer."

Harigana opened the small piece of clothing in his hand without telling Dulan what it was.

"Yes! I'll go right now, slave!"

Looking at the blush on her face, Du Lan became even more confused.

Only after she left did Harigana feel relieved, but Dulan's appearance also gave her a wake-up call.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and went to the study, took out one from the rows of picture books that Kangxi had never seen before, and burned it directly.

"My Lady, what's wrong with you? Do you need a servant?"

When Du Lan came in with some cloth, she smelled smoke and hurried over to find that she was burning something.

Harigana shook his head and made sure that everything was burned thoroughly before letting Dulan deal with it.

After a whole morning, Harigana finally finished a bright red suit.

Yes, a suit, not only the one above, but also the one below.

I just wonder if Kangxi would go crazy when he saw her like this.

"My lady, may I wash you?"

Dulan reached out to take the strange-shaped thing from her hand, but there was no way Harigana would give it to her.

"No, I'll wash it right away."

Helpless, Du Lan could only stand aside and watch with a pout.

Kangxi had no idea how big a surprise he would have when he returned in the evening. At this moment, he was discussing Soetu's crimes with Nalan Mingzhu.

During this period, Tong Guowei and several other ministers were also summoned.

"Tong Guowei, tell me."

Everyone's eyes were on him, wanting to hear how he would answer.

He himself felt extremely uncomfortable, as if Kangxi saw through him.

"Go back to the emperor!"

Tong Guowei knelt on the ground, moving slowly. He thought the emperor would let him stand up, but he had already kowtowed and didn't even hear the word "stand up".

His heart became heavier and heavier, and he did not dare to look at Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, what Soetu has done is extremely heinous. He should be exiled, beheaded, and his property confiscated."

Tong Guowei spoke with absolute certainty, without a trace of hesitation.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, but no one noticed his change.

“It’s just that,” Tong Guowei changed the subject and kowtowed once more: “Your Majesty, the Hesheli clan is the late queen’s maternal family and the prince’s maternal family.

If such a severe punishment is really carried out, it may affect the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, please think twice before making a decision."

Nalan Mingzhu sneered in his heart. This Tong Guowei was really a good at playing peacemaker. No wonder he hadn't been targeted by Soetu for so many years.

But the more people are good at smoothing things over, the scarier they are. You never know when they will stab you.

"Oh? Will this matter affect the prince's prestige?"

Kangxi's voice was full of doubt, which made Tong Guowei's heart sink. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing.

However, the emperor's reaction was not quite right. It seemed that he was just confused and not angry.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I spoke carelessly. Please calm down."

Tong Guowei didn't dare to get up and crawled on the ground, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

The others sat on stools, their backs straight, their breathing slowed, and they dared not make a sound.

"Get up! You are doing this for the Crown Prince and the Qing Dynasty. How could I blame a loyal minister like you?"

Geek!

Tong Guowei's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked up at Kangxi, meeting his calm gaze.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

He stood up tremblingly, trying hard to control himself and not lose his composure. However, he felt uneasy and had no intention of listening to their subsequent conversation.

When he came to his senses, he had already returned to Tong's Mansion.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Tong came to see Tong Guowei for something, but she saw him sitting in the study with a pale face and in a daze.

I walked up to him and patted his back gently, only to find that his robe was soaked.

"Nothing! What are you doing here?"

Tong Guowei reached out and pushed Mrs. Tong away, took a deep breath, and looked at her.

Mrs. Tong looked a little unhappy. There were things that couldn't be said between husband and wife, but she just thought about it and didn't dare to say more.

"Isn't Longkodo's birthday coming up soon? I was thinking of asking if I could ask the Emperor to let him come back?"

Tong Guowei's face turned ugly in an instant. If it weren't for him, the Tong family would not have ended up like this.

With a bang, Tong Guowei threw the inkstone next to him to the ground, scaring Mrs. Tong so much that she stood there in a daze.

"Get out, you ignorant woman!"

The farce in Tong Mansion soon reached Kangxi's ears, but he just laughed softly and didn't say much.

After this incident, Tong Guowei will definitely be well behaved for a long time.

It’s not that Kangxi hadn’t thought about taking action against the Tonggiya clan, but that was his biological mother’s clan after all. If he really did that, it would be a shame to his mother’s spirit in heaven.

So today he was just giving a warning. As long as Tong Guowei didn't do anything excessive again, he could turn a blind eye.

But it's only temporary, not forever.

He had collected every piece of evidence and placed them in a secret compartment.

When Yinfu grows up, he will personally hand over the evidence to Yinfu. By then, no matter what happens, it will have nothing to do with him.

"Your Majesty, the guard we captured earlier is dead."

Li Dequan reported in a low voice.

After the palace banquet ended that day, the secret guards caught a guard who was sneaking around Qingxi Palace.

Li Dequan personally interrogated the other party, and the other party claimed that it was the Imperial Noble Consort who asked him to go, saying that she had something to tell him.

After interrogation, the guard actually revealed that the imperial concubine had a heart-to-heart talk with him in the imperial garden a few days ago.

"You fart!"

Li Dequan lost his composure at that moment. Looking at the guard in front of him, he thought that he had gone crazy.

But the guard insisted that it was the Imperial Noble Consort, and even said that the Imperial Noble Consort was wearing a sky blue Mongolian robe at the time, although with a veil, but he would never make a mistake.

When Li Dequan reported this to Emperor Kangxi, he simply smiled and said, "Wait until he dies, then tell me."

I didn't expect that the guard had such a long life. It took him so long to die.

"You go down first!"

Li Dequan stepped back and stood at the door waiting for orders.

As soon as the door of the imperial study was closed, Kangxi called Wei Yi.

"emperor!"

The man knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together.

"Tell the people at Shoukang Palace to close the net."
