Chapter 114: Kangxi agrees
When they arrived at Tong Jia's courtyard, several imperial doctors were already waiting outside, and several imperial doctors hurriedly saluted when they saw Kangxi, Kangxi didn't care about them, so he waved his hand casually and went into the house.
When he arrived at the house, Tong Jiashi had already changed into clean clothes after bathing, and was sitting on the bed at this time, with a quilt on his body and a bowl of hot tea in his hand.
Although it is Yangzhou and close to the south, the pool water in the middle of the night in December is still cold and biting for Tong Jia's body that has been poisoned by love flowers, so Tong Jia's is still as warm as possible at this time.
She was ready to die, but she was also going to die comfortably.
Seeing Kangxi coming, a room of people knelt down and saluted, Kangxi walked directly to the bed and asked anxiously, "How do you feel now?" Is it better? Why did you suddenly fall into the water? ”
Tong Jiashi was afraid that Kangxi would take his anger out on irrelevant people again, so he first asked all the people in the room to retreat, and then said slowly, "Cousin, I don't care about other people's affairs, I jumped down by myself." ”
Kangxi was shocked when he heard this: "Why are you doing this?" After asking, a bad thought came to him in his heart, could it be that Yan'er wanted to commit suicide?
Tong Jiashi's next words confirmed Kangxi's conjecture: "Because I don't want to continue to live, I want to end my life by myself." After saying this, Tong Jiashi put the tea bowl in his hand on the red sandalwood carved magpie kang table on the bed, looked directly into Kangxi's eyes and said, "I don't want to live this kind of day by day, cousin, I don't want to live it." ”
Tong Jiashi in front of him was very calm, looking directly at Kangxi's eyes were still as bright as before, Kangxi couldn't accept it: "So you chose to end your life?" Kangxi asked in a condensed voice.
"Yes. Taking advantage of this opportunity to fall into the water, I announced to outsiders that my health was suddenly not well, and then I fell ill in a few days. Tong Jiashi said his own arrangement, "That's it." Others only think that my own health is not good, and I don't think much about it. ”
Tong Jia's arrangement is very reasonable, but Kangxi just can't accept it psychologically. He thought of Dong E's family, did Yan'er want to make the same choice as Dong E's?
"And what's next? What are you going to do? Kangxi's voice trembled imperceptibly.
"When the aftermath is arranged, that is, after a few days of illness in the eyes of outsiders, I committed suicide by taking poison."
Kangxi grabbed Tong Jia's shoulder excitedly and shouted, "Yan'er, didn't you promise your cousin not to give up?" Why are you suddenly going to kill yourself by taking poison? Why? ”
Tong Jiashi was dizzy by Kangxi's shake, and Kangxi looked excited. Kangxi, who spoke softly, definitely didn't listen, so she also followed Kangxi's example, grabbed Kangxi's arm and shouted, "Do you think I'm willing?" Who is going to kill himself by taking poison if he lives well! What's more, I'm still the imperial concubine, do you think I'm willing? Cousin, do you know how uncomfortable I feel in my heart? ”
Kangxi has never seen such a Tong Jia. Her face was pale and angry, with tears in her eyes, and she only cried silently when she first learned that she had been poisoned by love flowers, but at this time, she directly grabbed his arm and roared loudly, Kangxi slowly calmed down at this time.
Kangxi was speechless, looking at Tong Jiashi, Tong Jiashi saw that Kangxi was calm, and his voice also became smaller, "Cousin." Do you think I'm willing to do that? I have you, Yinzhen and Wanru, if I were not sick and alive, would I choose to commit suicide? ”
Tong Jia's tears flowed out like a waterfall, she felt ridiculous in her heart, obviously it was the Empress Dowager and Kangxi who forced her to this point. And Kangxi is now grabbing her shoulders and roaring, she has no affection for Kangxi, Tong Jiashi doesn't feel sad in her heart, she only feels ridiculous.
"I don't have a choice, every morning when I look in the mirror, I can clearly see that I'm getting older, cousin, do you know what it's like? Every morning I felt like I was being tortured by Ling Chi, and every morning after that, I would be stabbed, and I felt that death was approaching, and this feeling made me collapse, and I couldn't stand it, I couldn't stand it. ”
She really felt fear, in her previous life, she also ended her life by herself, and it only hurt for a while, and she couldn't feel pain again. But now it's different, every day she knows that death is approaching, hovering around her, her spirit can't stand it, she would rather be like in her previous life, and end the pain at once.
Tong Jiashi cried heartbreakingly, and after saying this, he threw himself directly into Kangxi's arms and cried darkly, crying out all the fears that had been suppressed for a year.
Kangxi hugged Tong Jiashi tightly, patted her back, and whispered in his mouth, "Yan'er, Yan'er, Yan'er" He couldn't say that he would definitely find the antidote, Tong Jia's description just now, he listened to it and his heart hurt very much, so that Tong Jia's words could not be said if he insisted any longer.
Kangxi thought that as the king of a country, he couldn't even solve a small poison, and he couldn't even protect his beloved woman, so he could only watch her tortured, so that he finally chose to commit suicide. Thinking like this, Kangxi also felt powerless, and his eyes were red.
As an emperor, Kangxi has very little sensibility for children in his bones and uses it all on Tong Jiashi, and at this time, because of Tong Jia's pain and crying, this sensibility tortures Kangxi even more, and Kangxi can be regarded as tasting the pain in Tong Jia's body and pain in his heart at this time.
The two of them hugged and cried for a long time, and gradually, Tong Jiashi collected his tears, his face was red from crying at this time, his nose and tears were intertwined, he looked very embarrassed, but Kangxi did not dislike it at all, he gently wiped Tong Jia's tears with his sleeve, and self-examined while wiping, "Yan'er, it's my cousin who is incompetent, and my cousin is sorry for you." As the king of a country, my cousin can't even solve a little love flower poison, my cousin is ashamed, and my cousin is going to break his promise to you. ”
Saying that Kangxi's tears also fell, Kangxi quickly turned his head and wiped it with another sleeve, Tong Jiashi was a little surprised when she saw this, she didn't expect that she could make Kangxi cry, she hugged Kangxi again, didn't say anything else, only softly called "cousin, cousin, cousin" one after another.
Kangxi had a strong smile on his face, and also hugged Tong Jia's body tightly, "Yan'er, it's my cousin's incompetence, it's my cousin's incompetence." ”
"I don't blame my cousin, I just blame my bad life, I provoked many noble people, and let her look at me unpleasantly." Tong Jiashi snorted, she deliberately mentioned how noble she was, this was a life imposed on her by Kangxi, she wanted to make Kangxi feel weak and guilty.
Kangxi really felt empty-hearted, and the vague shadow of the noble man appeared in his mind, Kangxi changed the topic and said, "Yan'er, do you just let your cousin watch you die like this?" No matter what you become, your cousin will never dislike you, and your cousin will never dislike you. ”
"Cousin, it's not just the looks, it's the feeling that death is closer every day, that feeling breaks me, I have no choice, if I have any other way, I will never choose to die."
Kangxi was speechless when he heard this, so he could only hug Tong Jia's body tightly
Tong Jiashi wiped the tears from his face and continued, "Cousin, I am determined to die, and even Yinzhen can't stop me." But before I die, can you promise me one thing? ”
"What's the matter? You say, my cousin will do it for you. Kangxi felt uncomfortable, he knew that what Tong Jiashi was asking for must be about Yinzhen, since it was about Yinzhen, it was not a big deal, so he should be happy.
"Cousin, in my life, I have no son or daughter, only Yinzhen has an adopted son. But when I die, according to what you said in the twenty-fifth year, you want Yinzhen to return to Concubine De, isn't it? ”
"Yes, that's what my cousin said."
"And now? Would you still say that? Can you bear to see that after I die, there will be no one to worship me in the future? Tong Jiashi gently pushed away Kangxi's hand that was holding her body, looked directly into Kangxi's eyes and said.
Tong Jia's eyes were as bright and pure as ever, and being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Kangxi couldn't say anything negative no matter what, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Change the jade to Yinzhen, change it to my name, I want him to be my biological son, no longer an adopted son, and when the New Year is celebrated in the future, he can worship me justifiably. Moreover, Yinzhen's background is too low, do you remember what happened to the eighth elder brother at the beginning? If Eighth Elder Brother was of noble birth, the minions of the Internal Affairs Office would definitely not dare to bully him. I'm afraid that after I die, Yinzhen will also suffer this kind of crime, and if Yinzhen is recorded in my name, his status will be greatly improved, and others will not dare to bully him easily. Then I can go with peace of mind. Tong Jiashi reasoned and advantageously said what he had been planning for a long time.
Kangxi instinctively wanted to refuse when he heard this, he thought that Tong Jiashi would say something like letting him take good care of Yinzhen, but he didn't expect Tong Jiashi to make such a request.
thinks that at the beginning, in order to prevent the Tong family from having a prince, he acquiesced to the empress dowager's poisoning of Tong Jia's family, so that he and Tong Jia's only daughter were mistakenly killed. Now that Tong Jiashi made this request, Kangxi's first reaction was to refuse.
But seeing Tong Jia's pure eyes, Chu Chu's pitiful expression, and the words she had just pierced people's hearts, Kangxi's rejection to his lips was held back.
He thought very quickly in his mind, the fourth child and the Tong family have never been close, and they were not close when Yan'er was alive, not to mention that after Yan'er went, Yan'er has always been smart and knows what to do is the best, and the fourth child will definitely go further with the Tong family in the future.
The reason why he avoided the Tong family from having another prince was to prevent the Tong family from becoming dominant, in order to prevent the Tong family from using the prince to threaten the status of the prince, if the fourth child was not close to the Tong family in the future, then the Tong family could not use the prince to threaten the prince to disturb the court.
Thinking of this, Kangxi opened his mouth and said, "Okay, cousin promises you." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
