Chapter 217
Someone dared to do something filthy in the imperial garden, if this was spread out, the face of the royal family would not be lost, Concubine Hui immediately went to Chengqian Palace to discuss with Concubine Tong, and the two unanimously decided that this matter was of great importance and should be handed over to the emperor for disposal.
Qianqing Palace
"Back to the emperor, this is what the minions heard and saw, there were dozens of guards present at that time who could testify for the minions, and the minions would never dare to tell lies."
Kangxi's face was as dark as ink, "You said that the man called that woman Wan'er." β
"Yes."
Concubine Hui on the side hurriedly asked: "Bo Xile, there are many palace maids named Wan'er in this palace, which Wan'er did Du Wu explain?" β
Bossil shook his head, "Back to Concubine Hui, Du Wu's mouth is very hard, the minions have already used thirty-six punishments on him, and there is only half a life left, and they still haven't been able to pry his mouth open." β
"Bold!" Concubine Tong Guifei stretched out her dancΓ΄me-stained finger and pointed at Bo Xile, "Bo Xile, as the head of the imperial guards around the emperor, why can't you even do this little thing?" β
"Yes, it is the dereliction of duty of the minions, and the minions are willing to be punished."
Kangxi waved his hand, "Can someone search where Nadu Wu lives?" β
"Yes, it has been searched, and there are just some common things, but there are a few things that the emperor has to look at in person."
Soon the things found in Du Wu's residence were quickly sent to Kangxi, and sure enough, most of them were just ordinary items, but the pink and white embroidered rose belly pocket was very eye-catching.
Concubine Tong's eyes were sharp, and she recognized at a glance that this belly pocket was made of Suzhou's falling flowers and flowing water brocade, and she exclaimed a little, "Bosile, this belly pocket was also found in Du Wu's room?" β
"Yes, this belly pocket is placed under Du Wu's pillow, and I heard the guard who lives with Du Wu say that Du Wu holds this belly pocket every night, and he still misses it very much in his eyes."
Concubine Tong pondered for a moment and said: "If this palace is not mistaken, the material used in this belly pocket should be Suzhou's falling flowers and flowing water brocade, although it is not as precious as Shu brocade, but it is also rare, if that Wan'er is really a palace maid, how can there be such a good thing?" β
Concubine Hui covered her veil, a flush appeared on her face, and she said with disgust: "Oh, Concubine Niangniang, don't look at such a thing, that Wan'er actually gave such a private thing to Du Wu, it seems that she and Du Wu must be a pair of wild mandarin ducks." β
Concubine Tong laughed contemptuously a few times, and then asked suspiciously: "Sister Huifei, do you remember who in the harem has the word euphemism in his name, and the belly pocket in this palace doesn't want to be something that an ordinary palace maid can have." β
"What do you mean?" Concubine Hui exclaimed, and then looked at Kangxi incredulously, "Your Majesty? β
Kangxi trembled and hooked the belly pocket with his little finger, only glanced at it, and suddenly threw it away.
Looking at Kangxi, who was so depressed because of a belly pocket, Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong on the side were not happy in their hearts, and after straightening their expressions, Concubine Tong hurriedly said: "Liang Jiugong, don't take this dirty thing down quickly, the province is here to dirty the emperor's eyes." β
"Yes."
Kangxi was still in shock at the moment, because he had seen this belly pocket, and it was still worn on Shu Wan at that time, is it really...?
"Liang Jiugong, which palace did you give this falling flower and flowing water to which palace?"
"Hui Concubine Niangniang, in this falling flower and flowing water brocade harem, only the main womb above the concubine has been rewarded, among which the Chengqian Palace and Jingyang Palace are the most rewarded."
Concubine Hui nodded, "Well, it's almost the same as the palace remembers, the palace remembers that the embroidered flower on the belly pocket is a cluster of roses, and the concubine in this harem likes roses, and the palace concubine with the euphemistic word in the name is probably only..."
"Shut up!"
Kangxi's cold eyes shot over, making Concubine Hui shiver, and a strong unwillingness suddenly surged in her heart, she shook the handkerchief in her hand, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you don't want to believe it, but now you can only bring Concubine Yu and Du Wu up and confront the two of them face to face, so that things can be clarified." β
"Yes, the emperor, if the jade concubine is innocent, it is naturally the best, these days there are rumors in the palace, it is not groundless, if the jade concubine is really wronged, the mustard between the emperor and the jade concubine can also be eliminated, so as to return the jade concubine to justice, isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Kangxi glanced at Concubine Tong meaningfully, then nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Jiugong, bring Concubine Yu." β
-------------------------------------
Shu Wan was playing with Zeya in Jingyang Palace, when someone reported that Liang Jiugong was coming.
"The slave asks for peace to the jade concubine, the mother is auspicious."
"Mr. Liang, please get up quickly, I don't know why Mr. Liang is here at this time?"
Shu Wan handed Zeya to the grandmother on the side, and smiled, the news of catching a cheating guard in the imperial garden last night had already spread all over the world, and the guard kept shouting 'Wan'er' when he was caught! Wan'er! This matter spread to every corner of the palace in less than a night, and many people were in the mouth of the guards.
At this time, some people remembered that Shu Wan had an affair with a guard that had just been reported not long ago, and in this way, many people had already decided that Wan'er who had an affair with the guard in the imperial garden last night was her-Ma Jia Shu Wan.
Shu Wan shook her veil, she still thought that the person behind the curtain would be a trick, that's all? Oh, I can't help but look down on her too much, right?
Liang Jiugong heard Shu Wan ask like this, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Jade Concubine Niangniang, why are you pretending to be confused again, this matter has been spread all over the world, why are you still so calm?
"Back to the Jade Concubine Niangniang, the emperor asked the lady to go to the Qianqing Palace immediately."
"Okay, let's go,"
Shu Wan didn't say much, and followed Liang Jiugong to the Qianqing Palace with Zhixing.
"See the emperor for the concubines, and see the concubines for the mother."
"Let's get up," Kangxi waved his hand, just wanted to order someone to take a seat, and thought that the situation in front of him seemed inappropriate, so he swallowed this sentence.
Concubine Hui saw that Shu Wan was still so calm, and she couldn't help but smile hideously in her heart, she didn't believe that Shu Wan would always be so calm.
Concubine Hui smiled kindly and asked softly: "Concubine Yu, the emperor summoned you here this time just to ask a few questions, you don't have to worry too much, the emperor and the palace both believe in you." β
"If Concubine Hui has any questions, just ask, and the concubine will tell the truth."
"Okay, then Jade Concubine, do you remember where you were from the time of the first hour to the second hour of the year last night? What to do? Can there be witnesses? β
"Back to Concubine Hui, the concubine has been staying in the study of Jingyang Palace since she returned to Jingyang Palace at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, reading and painting, eating at the hour, and then playing with Fuerguo and Zeya for a while, when the concubine has been freshened up and ready to go to bed, the above palace people in Jingyang Palace can testify for the concubine."
"So you've been in your dorm for the rest of the day?"
"Yes."
"Then who can prove that you didn't sneak out to have a tryst with someone while the palace people were asleep?"
Shu Wan raised her eyebrows, "What does the noble concubine mean when she says this, she must connect the concubine with the woman who stole the sunny spot in the imperial garden last night?" The concubine can also say that last night it was the concubine who secretly ran to the imperial garden while the palace people were asleep and did misdeeds with the guard, but what the concubine said was right? β
Concubine Tong Guifei was annoyed and angry, trembling with anger, and wanted to scold Shu Wan fiercely, but then she sobbed in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Yu said is a clear and false accusation, you must not believe her, the concubine is sincere to the emperor, how can you betray the emperor?" β
Shu Wan smiled coldly, "The concubine just said a few words, and the concubine was wronged like this, the concubine didn't know how many words were said, isn't this good?" β
As she spoke, she turned her eyes to look at Concubine Hui on the side, and Concubine Hui was startled by her eyes, "Concubine Hui, do you still have questions to ask your concubine?" β
Concubine Hui was flustered and nervous for a while, and tried to pull out an ugly smile, "No, no, your majesty, didn't you say that Du Wu is still alive?" Why don't you let someone bring Du Wu up, you can also ask for clarification. β
The more Concubine Hui spoke, the more confident she became, and her face also had a little brilliance.
After a while, Du Wu was also brought up, Du Wu had every piece of good meat on his body, because he wanted to meet the emperor, so he was wearing a new dress, but there was a bloody breath, and there were blood stains in several places, and one leg had been broken and was dragged up.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong who were present had never seen such a bloody scene, and hurriedly hid their faces and exclaimed.
At this moment, someone came forward to report, "Your Majesty, the concubines, the concubines and the concubines are here." β
Kangxi frowned, and said in disgust: "What are they doing at this time?" It's just going to make trouble, let them go back, and don't see them! β
"Back to the emperor, the concubine said that she knew who did the defilement in the imperial garden last night."
Kangxi rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb and snorted heavily with his nose, "How would she know?" I'm afraid I'm not here to make trouble for me again. β
Concubine Hui hurriedly comforted on the side: "Your Majesty, although the concubine is not good at learning the rules, but her nature is pure, I must have come here to solve problems for the emperor, why don't you meet her." β
"Yes, the emperor, the concubine came from the Mongolian steppe, the Mongolian children are the most bold, presumably they will not talk nonsense like some people, besides, this matter is cautious, although the concubine is a child, but also knows what is right and wrong, now I must be full of certainty, the emperor still meets."
Shu Wan watched Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong singing and harmonizing very tacitly, and the same mind was almost like a person, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, sure enough, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and now she is the enemy that Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong want to deal with together.
