Chapter 425: Promotion to Imperial Noble Consort
After hearing Hongli's words, Jingjue immediately understood what Hongli meant - the royal family's dirty laundry must never be made public.
She was burning with rage at the injustice of the world and at the fact that they, as the most noble royal family, still could not get justice.
A fool like Yong Zhang can represent the royal family's reputation just because he is a prince.
How ridiculous!
But the angrier she was, the calmer she looked: "Yes, I have already found out. I have caught three people. One of them was investigating the relationship between the Balin and Khorchin tribes. He specifically looked for those who always spoke ill of the other side and tried to sow discord with them.
One of them has been keeping an eye on Prince Xun and other princes. Although he has not succeeded yet, he has already started to contact the confidants and friends of his brothers and sisters. The other one is the personal guards of the Prince's Mansion who have been bribed, but they have not done anything wrong yet. "
She knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Father, I am sure that it must be those people who want to rebel and sow discord between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty! Please let someone investigate carefully!"
A trace of satisfaction flashed across Hongli's eyes. After taking the confession and reading it, he determined the nature of the incident in a deep voice: "This is a scheme by the traitor to sow discord, but I and the 49 Mongolian tribes trust each other and will not allow anyone to instigate."
He said coldly: "All those involved will be beaten to death, their property will be confiscated, and the bribed princes' cronies will also be beaten to death to serve as a warning to others!"
In a word, all the participants were killed.
The Borjigit guard widened his eyes in horror: "Your Majesty, I am innocent, I..."
Hongli said calmly: "Drag him out."
Jinzhong flicked his whisk and said, "Hurry up and shut him up and drag him out!"
Several guards immediately stepped forward, blocked his mouth, dragged him away, and got him out in the blink of an eye.
The King of Bahrain and others all knelt down, shouting for the Emperor's life.
King Bahrain expressed his gratitude: "Since Your Majesty trusts Mongolia so much, Mongolia will certainly respond with sincerity! We will always be loyal to Your Majesty!"
Hongli personally walked to his side, helped him up, and patted his shoulder gently: "You have also suffered an unexpected disaster. Don't worry, I will treat Ying Fei well after returning to the palace."
Naturally, the King of Bahrain responded to the promise and sang praises to the King.
However, when they came out of the king's tent together and returned to their own places, their faces were gloomy.
What a great Prince Xun! He schemed against others and now it has come back to haunt him!
If such a person becomes the crown prince, will Mongolia still be good in the future?
Concubine Ying came over hurriedly: "Father, is the Concubine okay?"
King Balin looked at his innocent daughter, his eyes suddenly softened. He touched his daughter's hair and said lovingly, "Before we came back, didn't we say that the poison had been removed? Fortunately, the matter has been investigated clearly. Someone wanted to sow discord between the emperor and our Mongolia, which implicated the imperial concubine."
Ying Fei said uncomfortably: "It must be because of my title as a concubine. Her Majesty has always been kind and smart, and she will not offend anyone."
King Bahrain didn't believe that a woman who could be a concubine would be kind-hearted. He hesitated between letting his daughter know the truth and leaving it alone, and chose to play it badly: "You should be more careful. If you really can't be careful, you can learn from the concubine."
Ying Fei nodded as a matter of course: "I have been learning from the Imperial Concubine. I want to be a woman like her who is not afraid of anything."
King Bahrain looked at her expression, and the anger in his heart was diluted a lot. He gently tapped his daughter's eyebrows and said, "Go and check the gifts for the imperial concubine again. Didn't you say that she likes sparkling gems?
When the Emperor allows a visit, if you bring beautiful gems with you, it will probably make the Imperial Concubine smile, and that will be your credit. "
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ying hurried away.
The first wife waited until her daughter left before coming out and looking at the King of Bahrain inquiringly.
King Balin said in a deep voice: "I can't believe that the emperor is so wise and tolerant, but his eldest son is such a fool. It's a pity that someone still told me about Prince Xun. Ha, if he really becomes the crown prince, I'm afraid our daughter will become his pawn."
The eldest wife sneered: "Do you really think our Balin tribe is made of mud?"
King Balin pondered and said, "Since he has been trying to show off the power of the eldest prince so early, let's just let him be proud! Listen to me, from today on, we will just treat Prince Xun as if he were the emperor, and treat the thunder and rain as the emperor's grace, and let him be proud!"
Not only the Balin tribe, but also other tribes, he will contact them all after the blockade is lifted, and ask Prince Xun to bear it well and see if he can bear this royal honor!
……
The poisoning incident that caused panic among the people seemed to have passed just like that.
But everyone knew in their hearts that it was only on the surface.
Jinzhong and Jingjue, who personally investigated the case, and Empress Fucha and the Emperor, who read the confessions, all knew who the culprit was and what he did for.
There was deathly silence in the king's tent. Suddenly, there was the sound of light footsteps.
Everyone looked over, and Empress Fucha's expression changed slightly: "Wanwan!"
Jing Yu had already walked quickly to Yan Wan's side and supported her.
Yan Wan gently squeezed Jing Yu's hand, walked to the couch, knelt down, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of causing unrest to everyone because of my own behavior. Please calm down and don't take your anger out on the children."
Hongli looked at her deeply: "You are always so good-tempered."
Yan Wan raised her head and looked at him, her eyes reddened, and she said softly, "I just don't want to see Yong Huang again."
Hongli was stunned for a moment, sighed, helped her up, and said in a deep voice: "You have been in the position of imperial concubine for a long time. The queen is in poor health, and you have always been in charge. From today on, you will be named Imperial Concubine."
He looked at Empress Fucha: "What do you think, Empress?"
Empress Fucha felt unhappy, but she knew that this was the best explanation the current emperor could give them.
She said softly: "Wanwan has always loved the emperor, and the emperor loves Wanwan, and I am only happy."
She reminded him seriously - after all, he is your son, not Wanwan's. Wanwan doesn't want you to force Yongzhang to death again. After all, she just feels sorry for you.
Hongli held Yanwan's hand with a gentle look and sent her back to the bed: "Just take a good rest. When you are well, we will go back and hold your canonization ceremony properly."
Yan Wan's eyes were filled with gratitude: "Your Majesty loves me so much, but I really have no merit..."
Hongli said in a deep voice: "Your greatest contribution will be to take good care of yourself and not make me and the queen worry."
