Chapter 298: Master and Servant Talk
Aunt Su Ma was stimulated by Kangxi's words and had nothing to say, and in the end she could only say goodbye to Kangxi.
Before leaving, Su Ma Lama wanted to speak again and again, and finally only one sentence remained, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of your health!" After saying that, Su Ma Lama saluted and left.
And Kangxi sat on the top and watched Su Mala leave in a daze. To be honest, Kangxi's feelings for Su Mala are not shallow, but these are not worth his importance of imperial power, and as far as Kangxi knows, the Empress Dowager is not really as fateful as she seems, who knows if the Empress Dowager will use her to raise the fourth elder brother in the past to do something, Kangxi naturally wants to nip this dangerous sign in the bud.
Kangxi's thoughts were not mentioned for the time being, and when Su Mala returned to Cining Palace with a disgraced expression, he happened to see Mama Gao, who was waiting beside the Empress Dowager at the door, and she was waiting at the door.
And Su Mala didn't have to think about it to know that Mama Gao in front of her was waiting for her on the order of the Empress Dowager, after all, even if the Empress Dowager loses power now, but on the one-third of an acre of land in Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager's control has not weakened in the slightest, and the Empress Dowager must have known about her going to Qianqing Palace. Not to mention that she had mentioned this to her master before.
Su Ma La's thoughts on the other side didn't know, but this didn't delay Gao Ma Ma looked at Su Ma La with pity eyes, and then said: "The master wants to summon Mama, Mama go quickly, so as not to make the master impatient!" ”
Su Mala didn't seem to notice Mama Gao's compassionate eyes, she just nodded to Mama Gao, and then said, "I'm tired of Sister Gao, I'll go now!" ”
After saying that, Su Ma Lama went straight in, ignoring Mama Gao's instantly distorted face.
As soon as Su Mala entered the palace gate, he was startled by the dim inner room, and hurriedly asked the empress dowager to say goodbye: "Slave and maid to meet the master, why don't you order someone to light the lamp?" ”
Before Su Mala finished speaking, he heard a cough, and Su Mala looked at it, and in the dim hall, he could vaguely see that the wrinkles on the face of the Empress Dowager seemed to be much more than before, and she was more than ten years older than before she decided to force the palace, which also made Su Mala a little sad for a while.
The sound of the Empress Dowager's cough was not small, which made Su Mala instantly become very nervous, and hurriedly stepped forward to inspect the Empress Dowager's condition, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water for the Empress Dowager, and then said to the Empress Dowager: "Master, you drink saliva!" ”
Then the Empress Dowager drank a glass of water under the service of Su Ma La, and when Su Ma Lama wanted to let the Queen Mother drink water again, the Empress Dowager waved her hand to stop Su Ma La's movements.
The Empress Dowager looked at Su Mala's anxious and worried expression, waved her hand and said with a smile: "The body of the mourning family knows that Su Mo'er, you don't have to worry!" ”
Su Mala was not comforted by the Empress Dowager's comforting words, because Su Mala knew that his master had been in decay since he was closed in Cining Palace, and now it was okay to say like the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is almost sick and terminal, and her days are almost gone!
Su Ma Lama secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then couldn't help but persuade again: "Master, you just let the imperial doctor come over for treatment, your body won't last long if it goes on like this!" ”
At this time, the Empress Dowager no longer has the shrewdness and ability she used to have, but is just a seriously ill old woman in Longzhong, no wonder Su Mala looks heartbroken.
The Empress Dowager shook her head and smiled sarcastically, and said, "This grandson of the mourning family wishes that the mourning family would die soon!" The mourning family might as well be as he wanted! Save him the trouble of finding a mourning family in the future! ”
The Empress Dowager's words made Su Mala feel as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle, for the relationship between Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, Su Mala really has no way to start, and he can't intervene, how can he not make Su Mala, a person who is close to both parties, uncomfortable!
The Empress Dowager could feel Su Mala's discomfort, so she clapped her hands and comforted: "Su Mo'er, you don't have to worry, if the mourning family goes, Xuan Ye will definitely give you a pension based on the past love, and the mourning family will not have to worry about your future." ”
When Su Ma Lama heard this, he was even more uncomfortable and mourned. Su Mala saw the current appearance of the Empress Dowager, and almost couldn't help the sadness in her heart, and then said excitedly: "Master, the slave and maid will go to ask the emperor again, if you go, how should the slave and the maid live!" ”
The Empress Dowager's expression became condensed for a moment, and she said, "Didn't you just beg him to send the fourth elder brother to Cining Palace to raise him?" But he refused to let the mourning family contact even an elder brother who could not inherit the throne, how could he be soft-hearted! ”
Hearing this, Suma Lama was speechless and could only cry silently. After all, the Empress Dowager was still different from Su Mala, so she instructed her: "Since the mourning family joined forces with the queen to force the palace, they thought of the current fate, but you are different, you were not involved in this matter at that time, Xuan Ye also remembered a little bit of your old feelings, and he will not do anything to you, and after the mourning family dies, you will stay in this Cining Palace, the mourning family believes that Xuan Ye will not be stingy with this place for you!" ”
When Su Ma Lama heard this, he was puzzled and said, "Master, why did you do this in the first place?" Why do you want to do something like that with the Queen? If there is no such thing as forcing the palace, you and the emperor will still be in harmony with your ancestors and grandchildren! ”
The Empress Dowager was in a trance for a while when she heard this, and then explained to Su Mala: "The mourning family has been strong for a lifetime, and for the safety of Horqin, the mourning family did not deal with Ao Deng, who killed Fulin, and the mourning family also had a fluke mentality, thinking that they would not let Xuan Ye know in this life."
But now that Xuan Ye knows, the relationship between the mourning family and Xuan Ye cannot be eased at all, if Xuan Ye is really still very close to the mourning family, then the mourning family is the real worry. As for the matter of forcing the palace......"
The Empress Dowager said with a hideous face: "The mourning family has been beating geese for a lifetime, but in the end they were pecked by the geese, and the mourning family did not expect that there would be a time when they were calculated." ”
This is the first time Su Ma Lama heard the Empress Dowager mention it, and asked with a worried face: "What does the master mean?" ”
The Empress Dowager said angrily: "The mourning family didn't expect that there were other people's spies around them, and they also gave the mourning family the medicine that made people lose their minds and feel irritable, if you were by the side of the mourning family at that time, you would not be so easily calculated!" ”
The Empress Dowager forgot that if she hadn't had such thoughts herself, why would she be affected by drugs, after all, she herself is a determined person, and this drug is at best to magnify the dark side of people's hearts, so that they can indulge in dark thoughts and cannot extricate themselves, but not let drugs change a person's mind!
Of course, the Empress Dowager didn't want anyone to know about this kind of thing, after all, she knew that if Su Mala knew about it, she would definitely be very disappointed with her as a master, after all, Su Mala's feelings for Xuan Ye were not much less than hers, and in this kind of calculation of Xuan Ye, Su Mala would probably not agree, so what she wanted Su Mala to do next might not be finished!
Su Mala also remembered the situation at that time, it seemed that it was precisely because of the earthquake that she was injured and unable to continue to serve the Empress Dowager, which led to the Empress Dowager being calculated later, and couldn't help but say guiltily: "It's the slave's fault, if only the slave and maid were not injured, it would not have been a loophole around the master!" ”
The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "At that time, Su Mo'er, you also saved the mourning family, and you don't have to blame yourself." ”
Seeing this, Su Ma Lama felt even more guilty, and then said: "Master, who calculated you, you tell the slave and maid, and the slave and maid must find a way to avenge you!" ”
The Empress Dowager shook her head, and then said to Su Mala: "Don't worry, before the mourning family dies, you will definitely take the people who plan the mourning family to hell, don't dirty your hands, so as not to consume Xuan Ye's little affection for you!" ”
Seeing this, Su Mala was even more anxious, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager waving her hand, and then the Empress Dowager said: "Su Mo'er, the mourning family wants to entrust you with one more thing, can you promise the mourning family?" ”
Su Mala was very moved by the attitude of the Empress Dowager before, so she directly agreed: "Master, if you have anything, the slaves and maids will do their best!" ”
Su Mala's words made the Empress Dowager very pleased, and then said to Su Mala: "Su Mo'er, after the mourning family leaves, the mourning family not only wants you to live in Cining Palace, but also wants you to beg Xuanye to ask the fourth elder brother to come and let him be raised by you personally!" ”
Su Mala was completely taken aback by the Empress Dowager's words, obviously shocked by the Empress Dowager's unreasonable thoughts, "Master, the slave is just a slave, if you are not here, let the slave and maid stay alone in Cining Palace to raise the fourth elder brother, this is not reasonable at all!" And the emperor won't agree to this! ”
The Empress Dowager waved her hand to interrupt Su Ma La's words to continue, and then said to Su Ma Lama solemnly: "Su Mo'er, this is the last thing that the mourning family entrusted you with before they died, do you want to let the mourning family die blindly?" ”
Su Ma Lama suddenly didn't know how to answer, and when the Empress Dowager saw this, she changed her tone and said in a warm voice: "Su Mo'er, as soon as the mourning family dies, there is no one in the harem who can open his eyes for Horqin!" Originally, you wanted to beg Xuan Ye to let go and let the fourth elder brother take him to Cining Palace, but the mourning family was not optimistic about your decision, but the mourning family knew that you were not giving up, so they could only watch you crash into the south wall. And now you must be dead. ”
When the Empress Dowager said this, she couldn't help coughing twice, Su Ma Lama saw that she hurriedly wanted to serve her to drink water, and the Empress Dowager waved her hand and continued: "The reason why the mourning family let you do this is also for Horqin, although Xuan Ye passed Cheng Cobalt to Concubine Jing's son, but according to Xuan Ye's temperament, he will definitely not let Mongolian people easily contact Cheng Cobalt, and when Cheng Cobalt grows up, I am afraid that he will have no feelings for Mongolia, and then Horqin's status will really plummet!" ”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was dying and was still planning for Horqin, Su Ma Lama said with tears in his eyes: "Master, now that the people of Horqin have abandoned your master, why do you bother planning for them?" ”
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "After all, the mourning family has been planning for Horqin for most of their lives, how can it be put down for a while!" And there are also the two daughters of the mourning family, Yatu Atu, if there is no support from the mourning family, what place can the two daughters of the mourning family have in Mongolia!
And Xuan Ye hasn't gotten along with the two of them much, so how can he have any affection for the two aunts who haven't met a few times.
Even if Xuan Ye deliberately asked people to show favor to Atu last time for the sake of the stability of the court situation, but once the court situation was controlled by Xuan Ye, Attu and they had no use value for Xuan Ye, how could Xuan Ye be soft on Attu at that time! ”
The Empress Dowager's words couldn't help but make Su Mala a little frightened, and Su Mala said in a panic: "The emperor won't be so ruthless!" ”
The Empress Dowager sneered when she heard this, and said: "The biological sons of the Mourning family are so ruthless to the Mourning family, not to mention the grandsons of the Mourning family, and the Mourning family is also ambitious when they look at Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye may not tolerate Mongolia." And the tribes that Atul and Yatu married were not particularly loyal to the imperial court, so ...
Su Mala never doubted the Empress Dowager's eyes, so Su Mala suddenly panicked and said, "Master, what should I do?" ”
The Empress Dowager replied: "This is the reason why the Mourning family wants you to raise the fourth elder brother, with a prince to be raised by you, the Mourning family believes that the fourth elder brother will definitely be closer to Horqin in the future, even if the fourth elder brother can't ascend the throne, Xuan Ye will not allow a prince close to Mongolia to take the throne, but in the future, the fourth elder brother will at least be a prince of the clan, and in the future, with the care of the fourth elder brother, presumably Horqin may retain his current status!" ”
Su Mala no longer refused at this time, after all, it was not only the Empress Dowager who was worried, but also Su Mala, so he said with some hesitation: "Master, the slave is just a slave, will the emperor allow the slave and the maid's request?" ”
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager comforted: "Su Mo'er, in the eyes of the mourning family, you are not just a slave, you are also a member of the mourning family, not to mention that Xuan Ye was taught by you back then, can't a person who has taught the emperor still teach a prince who can't ascend the throne?" ”
At this time, the Empress Dowager showed her domineering spirit, and even felt that the fourth elder brother could be taught by Su Mala, or the honor of the fourth elder brother, obviously the empress dowager has no family affection for the fourth elder brother's own grandson, if it were not for the stability of Horqin, the empress dowager may not disdain to raise this prince who is destined not to inherit the throne!
Then the Empress Dowager said to Su Mala with a guilty face: "Su Mo'er, it is very likely that the mourning family will let you do this, which will make Xuan Ye's affection for you no longer before, it is the mourning family who can't live with you, but for the sake of Horqin, the mourning family still wants to ask you to cultivate a person who is enough to shelter it for Horqin!" ”
Seeing this, Su Mala hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Master, you have killed the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will definitely realize the master's hope!" ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she smiled with relief, and then said: "If Su Mo'er can do this, the mourning family will thank you for it!" And Korqin, they will thank you for your move too! ”
