Chapter 279 I became an adulterer and caught myself committing adultery
To put it bluntly, Liang Jiugong and Li Dequan, the two men guarding outside the imperial tent, staggered and almost fell to the ground after hearing the young eunuch's words.
I feel my ears are buzzing, who is having an affair with a man outside? ? ?
The young eunuch crawled over and saw that the two eunuchs in front of the emperor did not respond. He thought that they did not hear him, so he hurriedly repeated in fear:
"Oh no! Concubine Xian is having an affair with a man from outside her family!"
This time Liang Jiugong and Li Dequan both heard it clearly. They were not mistaken. The person who came was saying that Empress Xian had an affair with a man outside. But how was this possible!
Others don’t know, but the two of them saw Empress Xian enter the imperial tent with their own eyes, and they can still hear faint sounds coming from inside. Could it be that Empress Xian in the imperial tent is a ghost!!!
Obviously impossible!
Liang Jiugong reacted faster than Li Dequan. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the young eunuch's collar fiercely, staring at him with sinister eyes, gritting his teeth and saying:
"How could Empress Xian have an affair with a man outside her family? You are such a daring slave, you dare to slander Empress Xian's reputation. Do you want to go to the Ministry of Punishment for a good lesson?"
The young eunuch was so frightened by Liang Jiugong's cold eyes that he almost wet his pants. He opened his mouth in fear and said anxiously with a trembling voice:
"General Manager Liang, even if I had ten heads, I would not dare to frame the Empress Xian. Someone saw the Empress Xian having an affair with a man outside and shouted it out. I happened to hear it and was almost scared to death. That's why I hurried to report it to you!
However, after hearing this, Liang Jiugong's expression became even more sinister and cold. Empress Xian was in the imperial tent, how could he not know where she went out!
He wanted to know who saw Empress Xian having an affair with a man outside her family and shouted that out. According to that person, the Emperor would have become the adulterer of the man outside her family!
When he thought of this possibility, Liang Jiugong wanted to faint. His teeth were chattering and his hands that were grabbing his collar suddenly tightened.
"Tell me, who discovered this and spread it? Where is that person now? Who else knows about this now?"
After being bombarded with three questions in a row, the young eunuch, in order to save his life, quickly told everything he had heard at the camp gate.
At the end, he swallowed his saliva and said:
"Now everyone is following the maid Wu Su promised to go to the hill to catch Empress Xian committing adultery!"
With a buzz, Liang Jiugong's brain exploded again!
What does it mean that everyone is going to catch Empress Xian committing adultery?
Empress Xian is in the imperial tent, on the emperor's side. Doesn't that mean everyone knows about the emperor's adultery?
No, Empress Xian is in the imperial tent. Who is the one that Wu Su promised the palace maid to lead people to capture?
Liang Jiugong's scalp went numb just thinking about it!
But the most crucial thing now is that the matter has caused such a big stir that it cannot be suppressed at all. It must be dealt with quickly, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the reputation of the Emperor and Empress Xian.
With a "bang", the little eunuch was thrown away. Liang Jiugong stood up suddenly, looked at the thick curtain, and exchanged a glance with Li Dequan who had reacted. Both of them had dejected looks in their eyes, but they had to bite the bullet and report to the emperor.
Inside the tent, although it was late autumn, Shi Nanxi felt as if she had been fished out of the water.
Her red lips were slightly parted, her expression was dazed, she didn't know how many times she had experienced this, she just felt like her soul was about to leave her body, at this moment she truly felt that kind of airtight entanglement.
Kangxi was not in a much better condition. He hadn't been close to the girl for a long time, and he had accumulated too much desire, so he was reluctant to end it.
Just as Kangxi finished and was about to start again, Liang Jiugong's cautious voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
Kangxi, who was just about to take action, suddenly paused upon hearing this and was forced to stop halfway. He was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead and he shouted without thinking:
"roll!"
Liang Jiugong was startled and cursed inwardly. He had finally regained the emperor's trust. If he was rejected by the emperor again because of this incident...
Think about it, Liang Jiugong is so hungry that he wants to eat someone. Don't let him know who is behind this so-called adultery, otherwise he will never let him go.
Li Dequan, who was watching this scene, suddenly felt fortunate. Although he had just suffered a big setback because of Tong Jia Wanru's matter, if it hadn't happened, he would be the one facing this scene now.
However, no matter how much Liang Jiugong hated the person who caused the trouble, he still had to report it again despite the emperor's wrath.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. When he heard no loud noise, he licked his lips, hardened his heart, and reported again in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, news just came that someone has reported that Concubine Xian is having an affair with someone else, and many people are now going to catch them in the act."
After saying this in one breath, Liang Jiugong felt as if he had wandered through the underworld.
Inside the imperial tent, Kangxi was about to lower his head again after cursing, but when he heard Liang Jiugong's words, he stopped again.
what?
What did Liang Jiugong say?
Someone reported the girl for having an affair? And there were many people who wanted to catch her?
He couldn't help but look down at the little person under him and was silent. So, he became an adulterer and was about to be caught?
Although Shi Nanxi, who was under him, seemed to have all her strength drained away, the medicine had worn off and her brain had regained consciousness.
At this moment, she also heard Liang Jiugong's words, blinked slowly, and her brain, which had been resting for a while, started working at high speed again.
It seemed that the drama she had built had already begun, and now it had come to the scene of catching the adulterer. Thinking of this, she felt eager to make something happen.
She had never experienced catching herself cheating before, and when she thought about the interesting expressions on the actors' faces when they saw the caught adulterer and his wife, Shi Nanxi couldn't wait.
Go, you must go, it would be a shame if you don’t go to see the play you acted in, so she seemed to react a beat late and said in shock:
"What does it mean to catch a concubine committing adultery?"
Kangxi came to his senses from his anger after hearing this, and hurried to comfort the little girl, feeling angrier than ever before.
He was very smart. He recalled the incident with the little girl's Chinese medicine and combined it with Liang Jiugong's report. How could he not understand that today's adultery was a trap set up against the little girl!
"Don't be afraid. You can rest here first. I will go and see who dares to slander your reputation."
When Kangxi said this, his expression was not as furious as before, but people close to him knew that the angrier he got, the calmer he became.
After saying that, Kangxi stood up and was about to put on his clothes, but just as he moved, he was pulled back by Shi Nanxi. There was a faint blush in the corners of her eyes, and she looked shocked, embarrassed and flustered.
"I will go with you."
Kangxi looked at the limp little girl and wanted to say something, but Shi Nanxi interrupted him and said, biting her lip tightly:
"Your Majesty, this concerns my reputation. I want to see it with my own eyes."
Kangxi met the little girl's weak, fearful but determined eyes, kissed her forehead distressedly, and said softly:
"it is good."
Time was of the essence, so Kangxi and Shi Nanxi quickly washed themselves, changed into clean clothes, and then got on a sedan chair with a carriage and headed for the hillside.
The person who had arrived earlier to catch the adulterer had also arrived at the foot of the hill.
