Chapter 246 Learn the truth and make a plan
"Your Majesty, it's just as you expected. Those two really have a conspiracy. They actually wanted to use the autumn hunt to frame the emperor and let Tong Jia Wanru climb into the emperor's bed. It's really audacious."
Tong Jia Wanru and Li Si'er didn't expect that Shi Nanxi would see through their conspiracy in advance. Caught off guard, their conspiracy was discovered by the people sent to do it.
At this time, Nanny Yang was both impressed and shocked and reported the news from outside the palace to the Empress.
The Heath Creek also finally changed color.
Autumn hunting is a big event. It is not just a form of entertainment. It is more of a way to intimidate the Mongolian tribes, educate the princes and grandchildren, and maintain armaments. It has political purposes and military training.
At that time, civil officials, military generals, royal family members, and Mongolian princes would all be present. If the plot of those two people really succeeded, it would be difficult to block the news. Once the news of Kangxi's affair with my wife spreads, his reputation will suffer a devastating blow.
Shi Nanxi's eyes turned cold. She really underestimated the courage of those two people. She thought they wanted to frame her by taking advantage of the autumn hunt, but she didn't expect that they were targeting Kangxi.
Her feelings for Kangxi did not reach the level of love, but she liked him very much, otherwise how could Kangxi, who was so sensitive, not sense it? Those two people who dared to set their sights on Kangxi were simply courting death.
Nanny Yang said this in shock, then she remembered something and reported:
"My queen, there is another piece of news. Our people have found out that Tong Jia Wanru and that Jierhalang have not yet consummated their marriage. They have been sleeping in separate rooms since their wedding."
Heard this news,
Shi Nanxi sneered:
"Tong Jia Wanru is unwilling to accept this. She thinks that as long as she remains a virgin, she will still be the designated queen, high and mighty."
She had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes. It was fine for her to seduce Kangxi. After all, Kangxi was like Tang Monk's flesh, and everyone who saw him wanted to take a bite. It was understandable that Tong Jia Wanru wanted to take a bite. As for these, she would never take the initiative to stop them.
Because she knew that if Kangxi wanted to accept it, she could stop one person but not countless people. There was no need for her to be on guard against other women all the time, to be suspicious and make herself physically and mentally exhausted. On the contrary, if Kangxi didn't want to accept it, she didn't need to be on guard, he would keep his chastity by himself.
If Tong Jiawan tried to seduce Kangxi herself, it would be her credit if she succeeded. But if she tried to plot against Kangxi by dirty means, she would suffer the consequences.
At this time, Hongying finally came back to her senses from the shock and couldn't help but say:
"Tong Jia Wanru and Li Si'er are so bold that they dare to plot against the emperor. Your Majesty, we must not let them succeed. Let's tell the emperor right away."
Shi Nanxi immediately rejected it:
"No, nothing has happened yet. We can't act rashly without evidence."
Nanny Yang also echoed in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty is right. This matter involves the safety of the Emperor. We must be cautious."
Then he analyzed carefully:
"Those two dared to plot against the emperor, but the emperor is the ruler of a country and has people around him all the time. If they want to plot against him, I'm afraid those two people alone don't have the ability to do it."
Shi Nanxi narrowed her eyes:
"You mean Longkodo is behind these two people?"
Nanny Yang looked solemn:
"Yes, Madam, I have reasons for my suspicion. First, Longkodo is the emperor's brother-in-law, and the emperor will not be on guard against him. Second, Longkodo is the imperial envoy in front of the emperor, and concurrently serves as the deputy governor of the Zhenglan Banner Mongolian Army. He is in charge of the imperial guards and can create opportunities for Tong Jia Wanru. Third,..."
She said calmly:
"Tong Jia has always wanted to send a Tong Jia woman to the emperor's harem to ensure his favor. Originally, Tong Jia Wanru was already the chosen one, but she was tricked into marrying someone else. Logically, Tong Jia could have chosen someone else to send to the harem, but the key is that there is no one left from the Tong Jia family."
After hearing Nanny Yang's analysis, Shi Nanxi agreed. Indeed, how could Tong Jia Wanru and Li Si'er alone plot against Kangxi? It would only be possible with Longkodo's endorsement.
The Tonggiya clan has become one of the top families in the Qing Dynasty thanks to Kangxi, but they still want to maintain this advantage. How is that possible?
Shi Nanxi came up with an idea. She wanted to avenge Yang's family. With Longkodo around, it would be difficult to deal with Li Si'er. But if she exposed Longkodo's plot against Kangxi, given Kangxi's character, Longkodo would definitely be in trouble.
Without Longkodo standing in front to protect her, it would be easy to deal with Li Si'er. Thinking of something, she looked at Nanny Yang:
"By the way, how is Yue Xing'a, the son of Longkodo, whom I asked you to investigate?"
Hearing the queen's question, Nanny Yang quickly said:
"Your Majesty, it's just as you expected. Yue Xing'a did know that his mother was tortured by Li Si'er, but he didn't know that his mother was turned into a human pig. He wanted to save his mother, but he was only a teenager. He had been treated harshly by Li Si'er in the mansion for many years, bullied by his half-brother, ignored by his father, and had a hard life. He was simply unable to save Madam Hesheli."
Speaking of this, even Madam Yang couldn't bear it:
"A good Manchu young master who lives like a servant in the mansion, if he knew that his mother was turned into a human pig, he would not be able to bear it."
At this time, Hongying's eyes turned red and she continued:
"Don't even mention Yue Xing'a. Even an outsider like me can't stand hearing it. It's too cruel. Li Si'er has such a vicious heart."
At first she didn't know what a human pig was. Later, after listening to the Empress's popular science talk, she realized that a human pig is one that has its hands and feet chopped off, eyes dug out, nose and ears cut off, face scraped, copper poured into the ears to make the person deaf, mute drugs poured into the throat, tongue cut off, and vocal cords destroyed so that the person can no longer speak.
Finally, all the hair, including the eyelashes, is shaved off, and a medicine is applied to the body to cause the hair follicles to fall out and no longer grow. If the person is not dead, he will be placed in the toilet and turned into a human pig.
Hongying couldn't help covering her mouth and retching when thinking about that scene!
Shi Nanxi wasn't feeling well either, and her face became increasingly cold.
"Good deeds will be rewarded. It's not that there is no retribution. The time has not come yet. Li Si'er will be punished for everything she has done."
After saying this, he exhaled a breath of foul air and said calmly:
"Since Yue Xing'a is determined to save his mother, I will help him. I just don't know if he has the courage to do it regardless of the consequences."
"What does the Queen mean?" Nanny Yang had a guess.
Shi Nanxi stood up and looked at the bleak autumn scenery outside the window. Yellow fallen leaves were drifting in the wind, there were no birds on the bare treetops, and even the sky seemed bleak. It was late autumn and the cold winter was about to come.
But winter is here, can the warm spring be far behind?
"I am the most timid person and cannot stand seeing cruel things. Let someone tell Yue Xing'a the truth. If he insists on saving his mother and avenging her, let him perform well in the autumn hunting field, so that he can reveal the truth in front of the emperor and ask to save his mother. Then I will definitely help him seek justice for Madam Hesheli."
Nanny Yang understood what the Empress meant instantly. She was a little excited. Once the mother was rescued in public, no matter how many ways Longkodo had, the Emperor would have to deal with Li Si'er in public. With the Empress' help, Li Si'er would definitely get retribution, and her family would be able to get revenge.
"My lady, I will repay your kindness to you by working like a slave for the rest of my life."
After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily. Shi Nanxi did not stop him. She turned around and said:
"Madam, please stand up. Although I am doing this for your sake, I always hate others' calculations. How can I let Li Si'er go if she dares to conspire with Tong Jia Wanru to plot against the emperor?"
Nanny Yang's eyes were red and she kowtowed again without any more empty words. She would use actions to express her determination to the Empress in the future.
"I will go down and make arrangements right away. If Yue Xinga hesitates or backs down, I will not let him notice you."
Shi Nanxi nodded and looked out the window again. Suddenly, something flashed before her eyes. Xixi jumped to the windowsill, tilted her little head and meowed softly at her.
She reached out and picked it up. Feeling Xixi's soft cat body, a faint smile finally appeared at the corner of her mouth.
