Chapter 284 Ping is sent to the cold palace and Yue wants revenge
Inside the imperial tent, there was deathly silence, and everyone held their breath.
Kangxi looked at Pingpin coldly.
"What does it mean to put the blame on someone else? I have seen it today. Concubine Ping, I never knew you were so bold that you dared to use Wusu's promise to frame Concubine Xian. You know best what you have done. I was just about to talk about you, but you delivered yourself to me. Come here!"
The next moment, the curtain was lifted, and Zhen'er and Mo Yun, covered in blood, were dragged in. It was obvious that they had been tortured.
Mo Yun came in without looking at anyone, and immediately knelt down and confessed his guilt.
"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. I was ordered by Concubine Ping to frame Concubine Xian for having an affair with Guo Luoluo Jirgalang..."
He then confessed everything, including how he got to Wusu's side, how he instigated and seduced Wusu's side, how he made the plan, how he used the evidence of the affair between Qing'er, who was beside Empress Xian, and Xiao Anzi to force the two to work for him, etc.
"I was forced to do this. My family is in the hands of Concubine Ping. I had no choice but to do this. Please forgive my family, Your Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this, but dared not make a sound. They just sighed in their hearts. If it were someone else, they would definitely fall into this plan, but Concubine Xian was lucky. She changed her route halfway and went to the Emperor. Not only did she get the antidote, but she also avoided this heinous conspiracy.
However, smart people like Huifei, Defei and others did not believe in good luck. They said that how could Wusu Dingyan suddenly fall down when he was clearly waiting at the foot of the hill, and who fed him medicine and sent him to the cave in the hill? There was obviously something fishy going on.
Everyone's gazes swept over Concubine Xian, who looked weak and innocent sitting on the chair, with all kinds of speculations in their minds.
When Qing'er saw Xiao Anzi and Wu Su's messy clothes, her mind went blank. Didn't Xiao Anzi say that he only loved her?
Why did he have an affair with Wu Su? It turned out that he had lied to her all the time? He didn't love her at all?
The whole person suddenly became dejected and hopeless, and she, who had been refusing to give in, finally spoke.
She confessed everything about how she had an affair with Xiao Anzi, but was accidentally seen by Wu Su and his servant, and then threatened them, including that she was the one who deliberately led Concubine Xian to Wanshu Garden.
Now, it was Pingpin's turn to kneel on the ground in despair. Nanny Shang closed her eyes. She had never seen such a stupid person.
All the truth was revealed, Kangxi didn't want to waste any more time and announced directly:
"Pingpin has evil intentions and attempted to frame Concubine Xian. This is an unforgivable crime. From today on, she will be demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty!" Pingpin suddenly raised her head and looked at the emperor in disbelief.
However, Kangxi looked indifferent. Immediately, a guard came in and took away Pingpin. Pingpin was unwilling to accept this. She struggled and begged for mercy:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have framed Concubine Xian. Please forgive me for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I really know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time!"
Hearing the prince mentioned by Pingpin, Kangxi paused. Noticing this, Pingpin seemed to grab a life-saving straw and shouted again at the top of her lungs:
"Your Majesty, I am the Crown Prince's sister-in-law. The Crown Prince respects me the most. If I am banished to the cold palace, how will others view the Crown Prince?"
Shi Nanxi glanced at the thoughtful Kangxi calmly. Pingpin was still smart enough to use the crown prince as an excuse.
At this time, the crown prince was still Kangxi's treasure, his most beloved son, and his most favored prince. She wanted to see how Kangxi, who said he liked and loved her, would choose between the crown prince and her.
The others were also closely watching the emperor's reaction. Kangxi hesitated for a moment before speaking directly:
"The Crown Prince is a man of great character and virtue. He is the legitimate son of the late Queen. Everyone in the court knows this. How could he be dragged down by a commoner like you?"
When Pingpin heard this, her eyes were red with anger and she wanted to say something, but someone immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief and quickly dragged her out.
Wu Su then agreed, and Qing'er, Xiao Anzi and others were dragged away one by one, and the imperial tent returned to silence again.
No one expected that the emperor would be so decisive in choosing Concubine Xian over the Crown Prince. Concubine Nianhulu almost broke her back teeth.
Concubine Hui tightly grasped the handkerchief, the crisis increased. Even the Crown Prince could not shake Concubine Xian, so what if the eldest prince encountered her?
Concubine Guo Luoluo was also very alert. The emperor treated Concubine Xian very differently! If Concubine Xian knew that she was behind this incident, then she...
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't let Zhen'er spit me out, but Qing'er's family...
A hint of cruelty flashed quickly in Concubine Guo Luoluo's eyes. Similarly, Concubine De was also more wary of Concubine Xian. She had underestimated her. She would have to be more careful next time she took any action.
The process of the Fourth Prince's concubine also needs to be accelerated. What happened in the re-election?
At this moment, Kangxi spoke again, this time pointing his finger directly at Concubine Nianhulu.
"My noble concubine, you are the head of all the concubines, but you have no responsibility as a noble concubine. I am disappointed. I will punish you by confining you to your tent for three days to reflect on your actions."
Concubine Nianhulu widened her eyes.
Three days of house arrest was nothing, but this was in Mulan Paddock, with court officials, wives of officials, royal family members, and Mongolian princes all present. This was simply not giving her any face at all!
Does the emperor really not care about the past friendship at all?
None of the three concubines in power, Huifei, Defei and Rongfei, escaped. Although they were not confined to their homes, they were verbally reprimanded and lost all their face.
After everything was settled, everyone left. Shi Nanxi also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Kangxi.
Before leaving, Concubine Nianhulu looked back for some unknown reason, and happened to see the Emperor coming down and holding Concubine Xian's hand.
Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian! Has the Emperor fallen in love with Concubine Xian? Concubine Niuhulu couldn't help but panic!
At the same time, on the other side, Longkodo and Li Si'er discovered something wrong.
"Master, what's going on? Where is Wanru? How could it be Concubine Xian who appears in the emperor's tent?" Li Si'er was puzzled.
Longkodo walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, looking anxious, frowning and saying:
"I don't know either."
At this time, the curtain was opened, and Longkodo's personal attendant quickly came in and reported:
"Master, this is bad..."
Soon the attendant told Tong Jia Wanru that she was now in her tent and had consummated her marriage with Guo Luoluo Jirgalang.
"What? Wanru and Guoluolu Jierhalang consummated their marriage? What happened?"
The attendant lowered his head and told the story of the imperial eunuch sending Tong Jia Wanru back.
Although Longkodo was confused in personal matters, he was always sharp and smart in government affairs. What was there for him not to understand? The emperor had discovered his plan!
Finished!
Li Si'er was also panicked for a moment, but she quickly thought of her grandfather's identity and calmed down again.
"Master, don't panic. Even if the emperor finds out about our plan, so what? You are his cousin, and the Tonggiya clan is the emperor's maternal clan. The emperor will not touch you or your family. Otherwise, why hasn't there been any movement so far?"
After listening to this, Longkodo felt that what Si'er said made sense. If the emperor really wanted to take action against him, why didn't he do anything until now? His heavy heart gradually relaxed.
But even so, Longkodo and Li Si'er were still in a bad mood, and at this moment, Yue Xing'a came over to pay their respects to them.
"My son has met Father Ma and Aunt Li..."
With a "bang", Yue Xing'a was hit hard on the forehead by the teacup before he could finish his words. Blood immediately flowed everywhere. However, Longkodo had a gloomy face and cursed at Yue Xing'a:
"You unfilial boy, Si'er is your mother. If you dare to disrespect her, get out of here and kneel down."
Yue Xing'a's head was broken and bleeding, but he seemed to be used to it. He clenched his hands silently, did not make any excuses, and knelt outside the tent.
Father, it is you who disregard the affection between father and son, and husband and wife, and favor your concubine over your wife, and condone Li Si'er's turning your mother into a human pig. So don't blame your son for being unjust.
