Chapter 323: Friend and Foe

Because Yun Yao was in confinement, Kangxi only stayed in Kunning Palace for a while before leaving.

And Yun Yao's expression instantly became worried after Kangxi's figure disappeared from her sight.

To tell the truth, what Yun Yao said to Kangxi just now about taking the initiative to invite Ying to Cining Palace was not because Yun Yao was empathetic enough to take the initiative to share Kangxi's worries, but for another reason.

During this time, Yun Yao was very closed to the outside world because of her pregnancy. Tu Hai and Wu Lu also didn't let Yun Yao know about the things outside the palace, so as not to make Yun Yao sad, but after Yun Yao gave birth to a child, he didn't tell Yun Yao before, and Tu Hai asked Ma Jia's family to give Yun Yao a wake-up.

Just yesterday, Ma Jiashi took advantage of being in the palace to tell Yun Yao about the Queen Mother. And Tu Hai's meaning is also to let Yun Yao try her best to be friendly with the Empress Dowager, even if she can't be friends, she must maintain a peaceful attitude on the surface, at least not let the people in the harem of the former dynasty think that she is the reason for the poor relationship between the Empress Dowager and the emperor.

Yun Yao knew that Tu Hai was also a painstaking person, and let her do this to give her a better reputation in the previous dynasty clan. However, in the face of the Empress Dowager, an old lady who has lived for so long, Yun Yao didn't think that she could hide this snack from the Empress Dowager, so Yun Yao was a little overwhelmed by Tuhai's request.

Although Yun Yao felt embarrassed by this, she thought that she would not start this matter until at least after the confinement, so Yun Yao put this matter aside for the time being and waited for the time being.

On the Majia house

Tu Hai, who had just returned from the washing banquet of Yun Yao's sister-in-law and concubine, was sitting on the couch with a tired face, while Ilgen Jue Luo on the side was full of doubts, waiting for Tu Hai to solve his doubts.

Tu Hai saw that his old wife's face was becoming more and more impatient, so he hurriedly explained: "The Empress Dowager raised the emperor with her own hands, if Yao'er can ease the attitude between the emperor and the Empress Dowager, it will also be a good thing for Yun Yao!" ”

Ilgen Jue Luo's explanation for Tuhai was dismissive, "You don't want to deceive the concubine, the reason why the empress dowager has been closed to the palace has been closed, you have made a lot of efforts, and if you do this now, won't it put Yun Yao in a dilemma?" ”

Tu Hai stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this, "In the eyes of Madame, the old man, who is an uncle, will still push his niece into the fire pit?" ”

Ilgen Jue Luo glanced at Tu Hai angrily, and said, "Don't entertain the concubine, tell the concubine what you think!" ”

Tu Hai couldn't bear the white eyes of Ilgen Jue Luo, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, the old man will say!" ”

Tuhai still has to sell two sentences, but seeing Ilgen Jue Luo's threatening expression, he can only explain honestly, "Everyone thinks that the reason why the Empress Dowager fell into this fate was promoted by the old man, but in fact, it was just that there was a great force in the court that couldn't get used to the Empress Dowager, so that the old man could fish in troubled waters, and finally the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the emperor became so bad!"

And you have been with the old man for so many years, you should know that if the old man had already had evidence, why would he delay until today to attack the Queen Mother? Not to mention that the death of the first emperor was the hand of the queen mother, and the old man did not think about letting the queen mother fall.

Besides, you also think about it, in fact, the whole thing is that the Queen Mother forced the palace in front, and then the old man had the opportunity to do something to the Queen Mother, and the old man never thought of completely pulling the Queen Mother off the horse, the old man just didn't want the Queen Mother to have too deep influence on the emperor! ”

Ilgen Jue Luo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said with a look of surprise: "What does the master mean that you have never been an enemy of the Empress Dowager from beginning to end?" But—" Ilgen Jue Roche didn't know how to answer in the end.

Tu Hai was not surprised by Ilgen Jue Luo's performance, but this was also his purpose.

He just made everyone think that he had already fallen out with the Empress Dowager and was very hostile to the Empress Dowager. But in fact, he has always maintained a very tacit relationship with the Empress Dowager, and in the court, he also mainly subdues the forces under the Empress Dowager, and only kills those who are deeply related to the Empress Dowager.

Of course, Tu Hai did not reach any deal with the Empress Dowager, but over the years, Tu Hai knew that the Empress Dowager was cunning and cunning, and the Empress Dowager was also more afraid of his methods, so the two reached a relationship of friend and foe.

Tuhai never dared to underestimate the Empress Dowager, even if the Empress Dowager was closed in the palace, he ordered people to pay attention to the movements of Cining Palace at all times. So under his advance arrangement, Tuhai also discovered the changes in Cining Palace these days.

Tu Hai is also very embarrassed about the fact that the Empress Dowager is about to run out of oil and the lamp is dry, but this also makes Tu Hai more vigilant, saying that people are dying and their words are good, but Tu Hai believes that the Empress Dowager should not be underestimated even before she dies.

And more importantly, Tu Hai also noticed that Kangxi's attitude towards the Empress Dowager had eased in the previous dynasty, and he knew what the Empress Dowager had done to make the emperor soft-hearted. When Tuhai encounters this situation, he naturally has to deal with it carefully.

However, Tu Hai also knew in the end that it was best for anyone in the Empress Dowager at this time not to mess with her, so Tu Hai made such a decision to let Yun Yao contact the Empress Dowager and ease a certain relationship with the Empress Dowager, which is of great benefit to Yun Yao or Kangxi or the Empress Dowager, Tu Hai believes that as long as the Empress Dowager does not lose her mind, she will definitely accept Yun Yao's olive branch.

However, even at this point, Tu Hai still did not explain his relationship with the Empress Dowager to Yun Yao, and Tu Hai did this not out of necessity, but intentionally.

Tu Hai knew that Yun Yao was very smart, but he didn't believe that Yun Yao's little cleverness could play any role in front of the Empress Dowager, Yun Yao might be able to grow into an even older person than the Empress Dowager in the future, but now, Yun Yao still didn't play any clever tricks in front of the Empress Dowager.

The most important thing Yun Yao should do at this time is to let the Empress Dowager look at her generously, and then after the Empress Dowager's scrutiny, plus the weight of the two concubines, it is enough to make the Empress Dowager look at Yun Yao differently. Tu Hai has full confidence in Yun Yao in this regard.

Of course, Tu Hai didn't let Yun Yao please the Empress Dowager, as long as the Empress Dowager was not hostile to them, it was too uncomfortable to be the Empress Dowager's enemy, and Tu Hai felt the same way.

At this time, Tu Hai only hoped that Yun Yao would not live up to his trust and have a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, if Yun Yao could handle this matter well, then he would not have to worry about Yun Yao's life in the harem in the future, the queen's power position coupled with her mind was enough to make Yun Yao live well in the palace.
