Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 271 Kangxi Concubine Ping 8

That night, Wu Lingzhu didn't sleep much in the first half of the night, but she fell asleep in the second half.

On a new day, she heard from Su Bai and Xiao Bai how miserable Concubine De was and how happy Concubine Dai Jia was.

Kangxi was not left behind either. After knowing that Kangxi was not doing well, Wu Lingzhu felt better and the awkwardness in his heart disappeared.

When the Sixth Prince got into trouble, Depin and Kangxi did not think it was a surprise, so they started investigating, but after searching for a long time, they found no clues at all.

Of course, it wasn't just Concubine Dai Jia who did it perfectly. Wu Lingzhu secretly helped. As a result, both Kangxi and Depin felt that this matter was not simple, but they couldn't find out who did it.

Compared to Kangxi who was totally confused, Depin immediately turned her attention to Concubine Dai Jia, as she knew best what she had done.

Putting aside the disfigurement, just talking about the problem with the legs and feet, the first thing she thought of was the Seventh Prince's lameness, but Concubine Dai Jia was no pushover. She didn't say that she performed perfectly, but at least there were no major flaws.

Depin's suspicion does not mean evidence, and she has not found any evidence, so she cannot be sure.

At this time, some stories of karma suddenly spread in the palace. Most of them were about mothers’ evil deeds being punished on their children. Depin also heard about them. For a moment, she suspected that it was because she had done too many evil things that her son suffered so much.

This rumor came suddenly, and Kangxi also heard about it.

"Where did the news come from?"

"I am incompetent, and the source of the news can no longer be found."

"Forget it, tell me, does this matter have anything to do with Sixth Prince?"

The emperor who grew up in a sea of ​​conspiracies is naturally no idle rookie. He turned a blind eye to the struggles in the harem, but it was a different story when it came to children.

His focus had previously been on the battlefield, but now that he saw good news on the battlefield, he naturally would not allow the harem to continue to be so lively.

He immediately connected the two things together.

Cause and effect, every cause has its effect.

Liang Jiugong: "I don't know."

"You either don't know or you don't dare to say. If Sixth Prince is the result, who do you think is the cause?"

During Depin's rise, many concubines in the harem fell out of favor, suffered miscarriages, or had their children die. If she really dared to take the risk to attack the Sixth Prince, she must be his mortal enemy. So what did Depin do?

Liang Jiugong: It's not something a servant like him can speculate on. Isn't this embarrassing for him?

Kangxi didn't want to get an answer from Liang Jiugong, but he would push back: "Since it's hard to find the mastermind behind the scenes, let's check Concubine De! I want to know if Concubine De really did something that had to be punished on the Sixth Prince."

Kangxi liked the sixth prince. The child was chubby and strong, and was born at a good time. He had even thought of a name for him: Yinzuo.

But this happened suddenly and Kangxi was really angry.

Before this, Kangxi had never doubted Concubine De. Just looking at the title and the favor she showed, it could be seen that in Kangxi's mind, Concubine De was a woman of good morals.

He also knew that the concubines in the harem could not stand investigation. Generally speaking, he did not want to investigate, because he would be the one who would be upset if they were investigated.

Now he had to investigate the situation.

Wu Lingzhu had been paying attention to Concubine Dai Jia, Kangxi, and Concubine De. When she knew that Kangxi wanted to investigate Concubine De, Wu Lingzhu was satisfied that her efforts were not in vain.

The story of karma was fabricated by her. If you look back at modern times, you will find that there are indeed many channels for gossip, and the stories are all very true.

No matter what Kangxi finds out, it will not harm her.

After this incident, the Sixth Prince no longer had any influence on her.

She was still paying attention to subsequent developments, but Depin had not yet evolved to the point where she could fully understand the emperor's mind, so she only wanted to stick to the list of enemies and never thought that Kangxi would investigate her.

Both sides are taking action. Now, Depin is investigating the targets she had attacked before, and Kangxi is investigating Depin. Isn't this a coincidence?

Liang Jiugong received an order from Kangxi to investigate Concubine De. He discovered that Concubine De was investigating other people on a regular basis. This made things very convenient for Liang Jiugong. He could just take advantage of the opportunity by investigating Concubine De's people.

"…Your Majesty, this is what I found. Please have a look at it."

Because there were a lot of things to do, Liang Jiugong organized what he had found into a document and submitted it.

Kangxi read it and felt both expected and unexpected after reading it.

"Lady Nara, Concubine Daijia..."

Kangxi suppressed his anger and said, "I didn't expect Depin to be so capable."

The others were just minor fights, and he could turn a blind eye to them, but these two involved children.

It was Concubine De who made Concubine Nala's Wanfu, simply because Concubine Nala scolded her a few words when Concubine De was still a palace maid.

Wan Fu's death indirectly led to her premature birth. At that time, the news he received was that Concubine Nara was an unkind mother and did not care about Wan Fu, which led to Wan Fu's death.

As for Concubine Dai Jia, she inferred that the Seventh Prince's lameness was man-made, but the evidence was incomplete. However, for Kangxi, these inferences were enough.

Kangxi said again, "Sixth Prince was implicated by his mother! Liang Jiugong, who do you think is more likely, Noble Nala or Concubine Dai Jia?"

Liang Jiugong dared not say anything, and only said: "I am incompetent and cannot infer. Without evidence, I dare not speak nonsense."

Kangxi shook his head: "You are cautious, but let's leave it at that!"

What could he do? The Sixth Prince was disfigured and his legs were injured, but he was still alive. Noble Lady Nala lost her two children, and Concubine Dai Jia also had a lame child.

It is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs. This is his own family affair. The key is who the two people, Noble Nala and Concubine Dai Jia, are. He has not sorted it out.

Suspicion cannot be used as evidence, so the only way to smooth things over is to deal with it.

Because of the Sixth Prince's incident, there wasn't much joy at the Eighth Prince's birth, only some routine rewards.

The matter ended in such a muddled way. Depin was unwilling to accept this and mentioned it to Kangxi in private. However, Kangxi gave her the cold shoulder and she fell out of favor.

It was also in this year that Kangxi began to confer titles on the concubines in the harem again, which was almost the same as in history. Concubine Tong became Imperial Concubine, and the four concubines became three. Concubine De was still Concubine De and was not given a title of concubine.

Then, Noble Lady Nara got the position of Tongpin, and Concubine Daijia got the position of Chengpin.

Depin looked at Tongpin and Chengpin, and realized belatedly that her past had been exposed. She dared not move any more and raised the Sixth Prince obediently. Although she wanted to have another son, she could not resist the fact that Kangxi did not cooperate with her now.

The Sixth Prince's favor was no longer as great as before. Concubine De was more enthusiastic towards the Fourth Prince than before and it was said that she had given him pajamas that she had made herself several times.

Wu Lingzhu had heard a lot from Concubine Cheng about the exchanges between Yonghe Palace and Chengqian Palace. Now the main actors on the big stage of the harem were Concubine De and Imperial Noble Concubine Tong.

Although Concubine De was very clever, she had lost the emperor's favor. Now it seemed that Imperial Noble Concubine Tong was slightly better. This result made Concubine Cheng feel very happy.
