Chapter 282 The farce ends gracefully
The hillside was deathly silent.
Pingpin, whose mouth was covered, finally came back to her senses from her impulse. There was great fear in her eyes. She stopped struggling, her knees softened, and she knelt down.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Shang quickly let go of Pingpin's mouth and knelt down heavily.
The cool breeze was blowing, and the sunset was sinking further and further to the west.
Pingpin's heart became heavier and heavier.
She spoke with difficulty:
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die..."
Before Pingpin could finish her words, Kangxi interrupted her.
"You deserve to die."
His tone was flat and calm, as if he was talking about the weather today, but everyone present knew that was not the case, because the emperor's aura was so oppressive that people were almost unable to breathe.
At this time, Concubine Nianhulu suppressed her resentment and anger, took a deep breath, and as a concubine she had to stand up at this moment.
"Your Majesty, Pingpin is outspoken and deserves death, but since this concerns the reputation of a concubine, shouldn't we go back first? After all, we are outside here."
Hearing this, Kangxi turned his gaze to Consort Nianhulu and asked calmly:
"Your Highness, do you also know that this concerns the reputation of a concubine? Do you also know that this is happening outside?"
No matter which concubine was caught adultering today, it would damage Kangxi's reputation and the royal family's reputation. As a noble concubine, she should disperse the crowd, suppress the news, and deal with the affair privately as soon as she heard the news.
But what did Concubine Niohuru do?
Bringing a large group of people including civil and military officials in the court, royal family members, Mongolian princes, and female relatives and ladies to catch the concubines in the harem committing adultery?
Do you think the reputation of the concubines in the harem has nothing to do with you?
Do you feel that as a royal concubine you don't need to fulfill your duties?
Do you think there is no need to protect Kangxi's face?
Or do you want to attack the concubines out of personal desire?
In an instant, the face of Concubine Niuhulu turned pale. She stammered and could not speak. She had selfish motives, so...
With a thump, Imperial Concubine Nianhulu also knelt down.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Hui, Concubine De and Concubine Rong, who were assisting in managing the six palaces, also knelt down one after another.
The situation of other concubines who did not hold power in the palace was not much better. They had no responsibility to manage the harem, but as concubines, they followed a palace maid to catch Concubine Xian committing adultery, which was in itself an act of transgression, so they also knelt down.
All the concubines in the harem knelt down, and the others present did not dare to stand anymore, and soon they all knelt on the ground.
No one spoke and the scene fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, Wu Su, who was taking Chinese medicine, left Xiao Anzi unattended. He could not resist the effects of the medicine again and hugged her in public. The sound she made was particularly clear on the silent hillside, and everyone lowered their heads even lower.
As Kangxi watched this scene, the pressure around him became even heavier.
Liang Jiugong was startled and quickly ordered people to arrest Wu Su Da Ying and Xiao An Zi.
Shi Nanxi, who had said nothing after that, pursed her lips when she saw the two people being suppressed again, and her eyes fell on Wu Suda, who was left with only a bellyband.
Wu Su promised to be vicious and cruel, and the current situation is the result of his own actions.
But after all, no matter how much Kangxi disliked Wusu Da Ying, she was still Kangxi's concubine. There were many other men here, so she had to consider Kangxi's face.
Then, he suddenly spoke softly:
"Hongying, tell Wusu to put on your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Hongying did not say a word and followed the Empress' instructions. She went forward, picked up Wusu's clothes from the ground, and put them on Wusu herself.
Others were surprised at Empress Xian's instructions, and lamented that she was truly thoughtful and kind. Of course, some people thought that she was just pretending.
But no matter what others thought, Kangxi's eyes softened and he reached out and squeezed Shi Nanxi's hand.
As expected, only the little girl was truly kind and thought of him. However, when facing everyone again, Kangxi's gentle eyes became cold again.
"It's time to end this farce. Liang Jiugong, take all the people involved back, and everyone else can go!"
After saying that, without even looking at anyone else, he took Shi Nanxi's hand, turned around and took her back to the sedan chair.
The farce of adultery here was temporarily over. In a tent on the other side, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang looked at Tong Jia Wanru, who was fed medicine and sent back, with anger and disgust in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Tong Jia Wanru did not give up after getting married and even wanted to enter the palace to be a queen. Although he did not like her at all, she was his legitimate wife and represented his face and the face of the Guo Luoluo family.
If Tong Jia Wanru really succeeded... when he thought of this result, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang even wanted to kill Tong Jia Wanru.
However, he couldn't help but think of the words of the palace maid who escorted Tong Jia Wanru back.
"Third Master Guo Luoluo, this woman can only settle down after having a child. You can't let her do whatever she wants just because you feel sorry for her. You and Princess Tong Jia have been married for more than half a year, but Princess Tong Jia still acts like a little girl. She should act like a married woman and be a woman now."
"I heard that the Third Young Master Guo Luoluo wants to go out and try his luck. That's right. You are so young, you should go out and hone your skills more. Only in this way can you better serve the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty!"
After saying that, he looked meaningfully at Tong Jia Wanru who had been fed the medicine before leaving.
Guo Luoluo Jirgalang was a smart man. He immediately understood the imperial concubine's intention. She was hinting that he and Tong Jia Wanru should consummate their marriage as soon as possible to put an end to her thoughts. If he agreed to consummate the marriage, his future would be promising.
Of course he had no choice whether to agree or not.
Pulling himself away from his memories, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang looked at Tong Jia Wanru again. The drug was taking effect at this time. Tong Jia Wanru was unconscious and tore off her clothes randomly, soon revealing her fair skin.
Guo Luoluo Jierhalang watched for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and ripped open Tong Jia Wanru's pants, then stepped back with his own, his eyes cold and without any preparation...
Tong Jia Wanru screamed instantly. Seeing this, Guo Luoluo Jirgalang casually picked up a handkerchief and covered Tong Jia Wanru's mouth. Then the whole tent became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, the effect of the medicine on Tong Jia Wanru wore off and she slowly woke up. She slowly opened her eyes and gradually regained consciousness. The last memory in her mind was that she was recognized by her cousin, the emperor, and was kicked down by him.
Her expression suddenly turned into shock and fear. It was too scary. She had never seen the emperor so furious.
At this moment, Tong Jia Wanru finally noticed the man with his back to her, and then looked at herself. She subconsciously wanted to scream, but a handkerchief was stuffed in her mouth, so she could only make a low whimper.
Hearing the noise, Guo Luoluo Jierhalang put himself away and turned around, his expression cold and emotionless, saying:
"Listen, Tong Jia Wanru, I already know what you are going to do today. You are looking for death, but I don't want to die. You are my man now. When the Mulan Paddock is over, I will send you out. In case you look for death again, I will take you with me, but don't think about anything else."
After saying that, he just flicked his sleeves and left.
When Tong Jia Wanru reacted, she wanted to say something, but she forgot that her mouth was blocked. When she moved, her stomach and lower body hurt and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Tong Jia Wanru's eyes instantly turned red, she couldn't understand why she was climbing into bed with the emperor, but how did it end up like this!
