Chapter 281 The Concubines Change Their Faces and Slap Their Faces
As Pingpin finished speaking, the others finally reacted.
The handkerchief of Concubine Niuhulu was almost torn to pieces. She looked at Wusu Da Ying and Xiao Anzi who were held in custody with a gloomy look, as if she wanted to kill them!
She knew it! She knew it! No matter what she did, it would be ineffective against Concubine Xian!
Why, why, it’s just the last step!
A fishy-sweet taste suddenly surged from her throat. Concubine Nianhulu tried to suppress it, but her expression became confused and empty. How could she get rid of Concubine Xian?
Concubine Hui, who was standing by and watching, hoping that the fisherman would benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, also looked embarrassed.
Even the usually low-key Concubine De looked unhappy.
Mingming clearly asked Zhen'er to secretly replace the adulterer guard with Guo Luoluo Jirgalang, preparing to take the opportunity to trick Concubine Guo Luoluo. But now not only is Guo Luoluo Jirgalang nowhere to be seen, even the protagonist of the affair, Concubine Xian, has become Wusu Daying.
This made Defei, who was always good at secretly using others' strength to gain advantage and kill others with a borrowed knife, unable to control her expression.
Among the concubines, only Concubine Rong had the most normal reaction. She was shocked at first, and then she looked at Wu Su Da Ying and Xiao An Zi with suppressed excitement.
These people all had this reaction. However, Concubine Guo Luoluo, who was the mastermind behind Concubine Xian's affair, had a more complicated reaction than these people.
At first, when she saw that the adulterer was not her third nephew Guoluo Zirgalang, she was greatly relieved, but then she felt at a loss.
She had used so many hidden threads and put so much energy into the plan, but in the end, it was all in vain. She didn't even see the shadow of Concubine Xian. This was a huge blow to her.
If these people's reaction was just anger and disappointment, then Chen Da Ying, who had stood up and said that she saw Concubine Xian coming towards the hillside, must have been frightened and panicked.
She really saw Concubine Xian coming towards the hill. She also heard the rumors over the past two days and knew that Concubine Xian must be going to watch the sunset. She didn't take it seriously until she heard Mo Yun say that he saw Concubine Xian having an affair with a man outside the hill with his own eyes.
She was surprised at first, and then ecstatic.
However, she was cautious by nature and did not immediately stand up and say that she had seen Concubine Xian's whereabouts. It was not until several high-ranking ladies stepped forward and said that they wanted to catch Concubine Xian committing adultery that she thought the matter was almost settled and then she stepped in to add straw to the camel's back.
But she didn't say it directly, and pretended to mutter it to herself. When she reached the top of the mountain and heard the news of the adulterer being exposed, she thought that this time Empress Xian would most likely be nailed to the pillar of shame, and she felt so happy in her heart.
As long as Concubine Xian was gone, she had an 80% chance of gaining the Emperor's favor, but what was happening now?
The man and woman having an affair were definitely not Concubine Xian and that Guo Luoluo Jirgalang!
Not only did her plan fail, but she would also probably be hated by Concubine Xian because of her previous words that had set her back, and she suddenly felt very uneasy.
Compared with these people's reactions, Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows. She had a feeling that it was as she expected. She knew that Concubine Xian was not someone who would be easily defeated!
Concubine Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said that the person who could make the Ministry of Internal Affairs no longer dare to deduct the concubines' allowances was not someone who would have an affair!
The others present were talking quietly!
After Pingpin blurted out that question, she was stopped by Nanny Shang behind her. Nanny Shang looked extremely embarrassed.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. Pingpin's obvious angry reaction was enough to show her obvious thoughts.
This matter was obviously related to her. She was angry and annoyed that Pingpin had done such a big thing behind her back. More importantly, after doing it, it failed, and Pingpin was almost stupid enough to confess.
However, after Pingpin became pregnant with Yinzhen, her temper became increasingly violent and impulsive for some reason.
She hated Concubine Xian so much that even though Nanny Shang pulled her back and tried to hint at her, she didn't listen. Instead, she gritted her teeth and questioned Mo Yun:
"Didn't they say that Concubine Xian had an affair with a man outside her family? Where is Concubine Xian? Where is her adulterer?"
Mo Yun was also stunned, his face full of fear and panic.
"Madam Pingpin, I, I clearly saw Concubine Xian and her adulterer. Maybe, maybe they were somewhere else on the hill. Yes, that's it!"
However, the hill was not very big, and except for a small hollow in the hill, there was no place to hide a person.
But Pingpin seemed to have grasped the last straw. She pushed Nanny Shang away and prepared to look for it somewhere else herself.
"I will personally go find Concubine Xian and her adulterer!"
Then, just as he finished speaking and took a step forward, he heard a deep and majestic voice:
"I heard that I became an adulterer?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence at first, and then everyone turned their heads abruptly, and saw that the emperor's sedan chair had stopped behind them for some reason.
Everyone was so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. With a thud, everyone present knelt down at once.
"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant. May your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."
In the sedan chair, Kangxi put his arm around Shi Nanxi's waist and gently stroked her hair, with an indifferent expression that showed no emotion.
Shi Nanxi leaned in Kangxi's arms in a weak and helpless posture, with her face buried in his neck. Her expression could not be seen, as if she was frightened by the scene of catching the adultery, but in fact her eyes were full of excitement.
It's exciting, too exciting. Everyone came with great efforts to catch the adulterer, but in the end they found that the person they caught was the emperor. I wonder how they felt?
What's your mood?
The people kneeling on the ground were filled with fear and panic!
And what does the emperor mean by his words?
What do you mean by "I heard that I became an adulterer"?
Is it possible——
Without waiting for them to think any more, Kangxi knocked on the wall of the sedan chair, and Liang Jiugong immediately bent down and carefully lifted the curtain.
The next moment, Kangxi walked out, bent down, without looking at anyone, turned around, stretched out his hand and led Shi Nanxi out of the sedan chair.
After the two of them stood up, Kangxi spoke in an emotionless tone:
"Everyone get up!"
Everyone stood up cautiously after hearing this. However, at this moment, Pingpin, who had just raised her head, saw Shi Nanxi beside the emperor. She was already emotionally unstable, and she screamed in an instant:
"Empress Xian, why are you here? Why are you with the Emperor?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone saw Empress Xian beside the emperor. Countless people's faces changed. Combined with what the emperor just said, the smart people immediately realized something.
The handkerchief in Concubine Nianhulu's hand was completely torn, Concubine Hui clenched her back teeth tightly, Concubine De's face had returned to normal but her eyes were gloomy, Concubine Guo Luoluo just felt that she was ridiculous, and Chen Da Ying had a pale face.
Concubine Xi and Concubine Rong opened their mouths wide, and when they realized what was happening, they started to watch the fun excitedly.
Shi Nanxi saw all the reactions of these people and took note of them in her mind, but her face looked frightened by Pingpin's questioning.
She subconsciously leaned towards Kangxi, as if only the emperor could give her a sense of security, and then she spoke in confusion:
"Why can't I be here? I have been in the imperial tent with the Emperor!"
"Impossible? You should be with Guoluolu Jirgalang..."
Before she could finish her words, Nanny Shang, who could no longer bear it, covered her mouth.
However, it was too late. Kangxi said in an emotionless tone:
"Pingpin, why can't Concubine Xian be here? What should she do with Guoluolu Jirgalang?"
