Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 199 Dealing with Li Sier

"Break both legs?" Suo'etu frowned, and suddenly, he became angry. If he was in front of Kangxi, he would have cursed him. "Prince, what is going on? I haven't heard any news about this. Why didn't Hesheli report it to her father and mother?"

"Uncle, everyone around Hesheli has been replaced by Li Si'er. She...can't tell her father," the prince said solemnly. He didn't expect Longkodo to be so ruthless. "Father, this matter involves the Tongjia clan and the Hesheli clan. After a thorough investigation, please take a look at what Longkodo has done over the years."

The prince handed over the memorial that had been in his arms. Kangxi took it and looked at it slowly, his brows furrowed more and more. Finally, he slapped the memorial on the desk. Longkodo made no big mistakes but many small ones. This was nothing, as Kangxi knew that all the Eight Banners children in the capital were like this.

What Kangxi cared about was that Longkodo was becoming more and more arrogant, and had even caused many deaths on his hands, not the lives of servants, but the lives of some civilians!

The Tongjia clan was also aware of what Longkodo had done, but they did nothing. It was not only that Longkodo was arrogant, but the Tongjia clan was becoming more and more arrogant by relying on his royal mother!

This is a disgrace to his mother's reputation!

"Suo'etu, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" Kangxi looked at Suo'etu, "This matter involves your Hesheli lineage."

"Your Majesty, I cannot swallow this anger. That Li Si'er is Longkodo's concubine. I have heard that even if Longkodo loved her, he could not hurt his wife like this and even broke her legs. Where does this put the Hesheli family? Where does the Great Cleansing Law?" Soetu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to punish Longkodo, sentence Li Si'er to death, and give justice to my poor niece."

It is also true that Longkodo’s legal wife was Soetu’s niece.

"Suo'etu, you take my secret decree and personally sentence Li Si'er and his son Yuzhu to death," Kangxi said without any hesitation. He wrote two secret letters and handed one to Suo'etu, "Weizhu."

Kangxi called out to the outside world, and Wei Zhu walked in, "Your Majesty, I am here."

"Take this secret letter and follow Suo Etu to Longkodo's residence. Give it to Tong Guowei and tell him that he doesn't need to come to see me. Let him read the letter first." Kangxi said in a cold voice, "Go."

Of course, Soetu did not take Wei Zhu with him, so he was naturally a royal guard.

Wen Yao walked in from outside the Cining Palace. "Madam, just now Suo Etu and Wei Zhu took the guards to Tong Guowei's house. Hehe...Madam, do you want to know what they did?"

"Did you go to Tong Guowei's house?" The Empress Dowager waved to the servants and asked them to go down. There were only the Empress Dowager and Wen Yao, and a servant named Hana, in the hall. Nanny Cui He beside Wen Yao asked her to go down and rest.

Wen Yao nodded, "Yes, it should be about Li Si'er, which is what my grandson's wife told you yesterday. I just don't know how the emperor will deal with it? Will he deal with Longkodo?"

The Empress Dowager remembered that she was very angry when she heard the news yesterday. This reminded her of how the late Emperor loved Consort Dong E. However, after making this comparison, the Empress Dowager felt more comfortable. "That Li Si'er? I remember that he was just a concubine, but he dared to depose the wife. He was really tired of living!"

The Queen Mother was a little angry. "Hmph, Hana, I'm fine." The Queen Mother looked at Hana who was calming her down and waved her hand. "I've already gotten over my anger."

Wen Yao blinked, pretending not to understand what the Queen Mother was thinking, and continued: "That was also the courage given to Li Si'er by Longkodo. In fact, Wen Yao is very confused. Tong Guowei and his wife should not be so... so... How to describe this? This is the niece of Tong Guowei's wife, and the Hesheli clan is behind her. Why didn't they stop Longkodo?"

The Queen Mother pointed at Wen Yao, her complexion recovered, and she smiled and shook her head, "You, you think too simply. Even if Tong Guowei and Old Hesheli know etiquette, what can they do? Can they keep watching Longkodo's courtyard? In a place where they can't see, Longkodo favors his concubine and kills his wife, crippling his wife's legs. Who do you think Tong Guowei and the others will stand on?"

"Of course they are on their son's side," Wen Yao answered without hesitation, "Oh, I understand. It was too late for them to know, so they naturally had to help Longkodo conceal it. But, Madam Royal, aren't they afraid of being found out?"

“So what if they know? You see, the emperor now knows about this matter, but so what? It still can’t be exposed, and the Tongjia clan won’t be seriously hurt,” the empress dowager smiled softly. After all, this is the emperor’s maternal clan, it is impossible for them to leak anything, and they will just act quietly!

"Madam, I'm so angry," Wen Yao said as she ate some dried fruit. "I feel like I can't breathe."

"Why are you angry? Since it was Soetu who brought people to Longkodo's mansion, at least Li Si'er cannot be saved. As for whether the son she gave birth to can be saved? I don't think he can be saved either," the empress dowager had something else to say. She felt that the emperor should use this incident to warn Tong Guowei. In recent years, the Tong Guo family has gradually become a little arrogant.

The Queen Mother chuckled, "Now the Hesheli clan knows how to keep a low profile and clean up their own house. If the Tongjia clan remains like this, I'm afraid..." The Queen Mother shook her head, and their prosperity would eventually lead to decline.

Wen Yao ignored the rest of the words, as she would never get involved in government affairs. "Madam, will Longkodo disobey your order if he likes Li Si'er?"

"He wouldn't dare! No matter how arrogant Longkodo is, he still dares to disobey the emperor's order? What kind of storybooks have you read? What kind of things are you reading? Is there anyone who dares to challenge the emperor just because he is from the emperor's mother's family?" The empress dowager looked helpless, "Is there anyone who dares to write this?"

"That's not written. I was thinking that Longkodo was so arrogant, and I knew that this matter would not be spread out. Would he protect Li Si'er and then go to the palace to ask the emperor for help?" Wen Yao wanted to say that there was a story in the future. She liked to see Kangxi or the Fourth Master deal with Longkodo and Li Si'er, or the crazy Hesheli deal with Longkodo and Li Si'er!

"I don't know about that, but from what I have seen so far, the emperor is much more pleasing to the eye now than before," the empress dowager looked at the door and then lowered her voice.

Wen Yao covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Royal Mama, you are not afraid that the Royal Father will hear it."

"If you heard it, I heard it. I'm not afraid," the Queen Mother said, but she still glanced at the door. The Aixinjueluo family loved to eavesdrop. "What else did you hear that was interesting? Tell me quickly. I haven't heard anything interesting today!"

Wen Yao would not expose the empress dowager's excuse to change the subject. "If you want to talk about something interesting, then I heard that Hesheli Hengruo from the Eighth Prince's mansion had consummated his marriage with the Eighth Prince a few days ago. Royal Madam, do you think it will be a success?"
