Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 191: Murder of Concubine Hui

Of course, this was only the worst possible outcome. Maybe no one could find the clues to the mixed fragrance and find me along the way. So what if I was the most suspicious?

Murdering the royal heir is a capital crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan. Even if it was the Queen's order and Nanny Zhao followed orders, it was impossible for her to do it herself. So many links had to be connected and so many people had to go through the motions.

These people concealed the truth from each other, which was to protect others as well as themselves. If one move could lead to another, they would have to dig up all the dirt.

It was impossible for Kangxi to get to the bottom of the matter. Even if he wanted to know the truth, he would not do so, as it would only harm himself. The Empress Dowager would not allow him to do so.

Right and wrong in the Forbidden City are never absolute. Such a dirty quagmire hides too many unknown darkness. Who knows what royal secrets will be uncovered in the end.

But the queen didn't expect that His Majesty would sentence her to death? Why? The queen didn't understand. It was clear that His Majesty was protecting her before, when he tried to slap Nara in Kunning Palace and when the court officials petitioned to depose the queen.

The Queen could see the Emperor’s feelings for her, but why did he suddenly turn against her?

Was it because of Nara? Because I hurt Nara's child, and in His Majesty's heart, that bitch Nara was far more important than me, so His Majesty was so cruel to me.

The queen, who was trapped in her own inner demons, had no reason at all. If her mind was still calm and wise, even if she didn't want to admit it, she would have realized:

Kangxi's special treatment of her was never because he liked the queen as a person. It all came from his tolerance towards the queen, his wife.

However, the status of empress and wife is both an honor and a shackle, for both the empress and Kangxi. Because of this status, Kangxi's expectations of the empress are higher than those of ordinary concubines, and once the empress fails to do so, it will disappoint Kangxi.

Similarly, because of this identity, when the queen made a mistake, Kangxi had to be cautious in his handling of the matter. But this was not a good thing. Although it protected the queen for a while, the rift between the two would grow bigger and bigger.

Would the queen repent for having escaped everything? Of course not. The lesson she received was too light. It would not let the queen know her mistakes, but would only encourage her arrogance and let her continue to have a fluke mentality when she acts next time.

As for Kangxi, he knew that the queen was wrong, but he could not punish her for other reasons and let the queen learn a lesson. Could it be that the matter was over as it seemed on the surface? Of course not.

From the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, his own wife, to always being the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, this change has shown that Kangxi's tolerance towards the Empress is gradually disappearing.

One party no longer has any expectations, and finally stops waiting for the other party to catch up with him/her. However, the other party still holds on to the wrong illusion and walks towards the destination in his/her eyes, but in the end, he/she just gets further and further away.

However, the queen, who was almost on the verge of madness, did not have the rationality to think about what was the deepest reason for the current situation, what was the meaning behind Kangxi's words, and which way could help her save herself successfully.

The queen blamed everything on Nara, including the difficulty of being a queen, the emperor's ruthlessness towards her, Mafa's death, the ruin of Hesheli's reputation, and even the queen's cruelty in harming the royal heir.

Because all of this was caused by Nara. It was her relentless pressure that forced the queen to adopt this method to protect herself.

The Queen summoned Nanny Zhao, who was about to return to her hometown to retire because of her illness and old age.

Zhao Ma was very uneasy. She had been afraid that the Queen would do something to her since the death of Prince Chengqing. The Queen was raised by her breasts, so she knew that if she did something like this for her, the Queen would never let her go.

Fortunately, for the sake of her own reputation, the Queen would not let anything happen to her in the palace, so she would probably let her leave the palace first and then take action after she returned to the Hesheli family.

But that person promised to rescue him. Although that person's family background is not as good as Hesheli's, cats have their own ways and mice have their own ways. There are shadows of them behind so many things in the palace, which shows that it is not simple.

Zhao Ma was worried that something might go wrong, so she barely showed up during this period. Who would have thought that the nanny who was determined to control Kunning Palace and even ignored the concubine who gave birth to a princess, and the most trusted nanny of the queen, would fall to this point.

But she didn't expect that the queen would suddenly want to see her, and Zhao Ma's heart kept beating. At this time, the queen wanted to see her, which was definitely not a good thing.

As expected, as soon as the queen saw Madam Zhao, she said, "Madam, I regret it. That bastard deserves to die, but the whore who gave birth to that bastard deserves to die even more."

Zhao Mama's pupils trembled. What did the Queen mean by this? Did she want me to kill Concubine Hui as well? "Your Majesty, Prince Chengqing just died. The Yanxi Palace must be on high alert at this time. Please think twice."

"I believe that Madam can do it. After all, Madam did a great job in Chengqing's affairs."

Nanny Zhao smiled bitterly. She was not that smart. Chengqing's matter had originally made her very anxious, but in the end, it was that person who said he could help her that made her decide to join him.

Because she didn't know exactly how that person did it, when the Queen asked about it, Zhao Ma could only answer vaguely, "They wanted to use the adopted Third Princess."

Who could have thought that the man actually let himself reach out to Prince Chenghu and the Second Princess, and use the incense to dye the clothes of the two young masters. Then, in front of Prince Chengqing, he gave the Third Princess a gilded hollow incense pill.

Nanny Zhao had never imagined that Concubine Hui had cultivated Prince Chengqing into such a character that when he saw that his little sister had a gift but he didn't, he would try to snatch it.

What was even more unexpected was that during that period, the Queen actually took Prince Chenghu and the eldest princess to show her filial piety to the Queen Mother in order to show her virtue. You know, compared to the Grand Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has always been ignored in the palace.

In this conspiracy, Nanny Zhao was at best a pawn, a pawn used by two people.

But the queen didn't think so. She had always thought that her wet nurse was not a smart person, but she never thought that she could plan such a thing and even understand her thoughts so well.

In fact, the Queen had started to poison Chengqing a long time ago. This can be traced back to when Chengrui was poisoned. At that time, the Queen noticed that the Emperor treated Ma Jia differently, so she regarded her as a serious threat and wanted to get rid of Chengrui.
