Chapter 322: See Clearly
When the Empress Dowager was there, she was still good to Yinren, the orthodox prince, but all of this is based on the degree to which Yinren is useful to them, as for feelings or something, who is more sincere than whom!
Under Kangxi's teaching, Yinren's understanding of the situation is deeper than anyone else's, and the more he understands his feelings for the Empress Dowager and others, the more shallow he becomes, so he doesn't have to be embarrassed at all in the face of this kind of thing, and he suddenly has a choice in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered Cui Cheng to be killed with a cane so happily.
"Prince, since it is a crime, it is natural to deal with it. "Fu Quan, who is in charge of escorting Yunxi, really has to be ruthless, not to mention killing only a few minions, even killing dozens or hundreds, there are also some.
"What Uncle Huang said is that it is indeed necessary to deal with it. Yinren is also decisive, since he has started, he has not hesitated, and his behavior is quite clean and decisive.
Yunxi stood aside, coldly watching the few people who came in a hurry all be dealt with, as for Aunt Xiaochi, who is good at reading people's eyes in the imperial village, she stopped at the first time, and even closed the door, as if she didn't see anything. And the people behind her, one by one, who are not human spirits, seeing Aunt Xiaochi's style, one by one, they are also interested, silent, hanging their eyelids and pretending to be blind, after all, none of them want to lose their lives for others. When everything was settled, Aunt Koike and the others welcomed Yunxi and the others into the Huangzhuang as if nothing had happened.
Fuquan and they looked at the four Yunxi mother and son who had settled down, and they didn't stay longer, and after arranging the guards of the imperial village, they set off again to escort the prince back to the palace, as for whether the queen mother would be angry because of this, none of them cared, after all, the day is waning, and the queen mother's status is no more noble than the emperor.
On the side of the palace, the queen mother did not wait for Cui Cheng to return, but waited for the prince to return to the palace, at that moment, even if no one came back, the queen mother knew that Cui Cheng was afraid that he would not be able to come back.
"Queen Mother!" Mama Qiao looked at the Queen Mother who had changed her face, and knew that Cui Cheng was afraid that she would lose her life if she didn't do it, and she was quite uneasy for a while, and she didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, the mourning family should think of it. The Empress Dowager held on to a few shores, her expression looked a little decadent, from the death of the Empress Dowager to the present, she seemed to have walked smoothly along the way, but in fact, every step of the way put herself into a desperate situation, "People like Fuquan look at their temper on weekdays, but once the emperor makes a decision, he has to find a way to help complete it, not to mention that he is just offending a helpless old woman in the mourning family." ”
She should have thought of it a long time ago, but the glory in front of her made her self-righteous think that what the Empress Dowager could do, she could do too. It's a pity that she is not the empress dowager after all, she can't get Korqin's complete support, and she doesn't have the ability to take everything into her own hands, so she found that she was on the wrong path when she arrived at this point.
"Queen Mother......" When Mama Qiao heard her words, her heart suddenly panicked, when the master is going to lose confidence, then she is definitely not much better as a slave, after all, as long as it is a person living in this palace, regardless of men and women, as long as you want to live well, then you must fight, otherwise what is this good life is yours and not someone else's.
"Don't say it again, let's leave this matter like this for the time being! Cui Cheng can't come back, and the people he brought with him can't come back, even if the mourning family takes advantage of this to make a scene, it's just tearing his face and making himself even more self-ashamed. If the emperor can't come back, it's fine, but if he comes back, I'm afraid that the future days of mourning will be like this. With a wry smile, the queen mother seemed to have lost her spirit in an instant, and she was no longer as full of ideas about how to beat others as before, but on the contrary, she seemed to suddenly understand it, and became peaceful.
If the queen mother had not been able to see clearly, she might have been following the current road until she died, but Cui Cheng's death made her see her situation clearly at this moment. Although all this came very suddenly, it did not prevent her from leaving a way back for herself, after all, she was really going to go to the end, and she was the one who was unlucky in the end. As for the crown prince, the queen mother knew in her heart that it was not someone she could embarrass herself, just from Kangxi leaving Fuquan, you could see that he attached great importance to the prince, the queen mother was not alert before, because she didn't think she would have any contradictions with Fuquan, and now when the contradictions were in front of her, she could only back down.
It's only hateful that she didn't find out anything wrong until she reached this point, otherwise with her status and the power in her hands, it would not be difficult to deal with Concubine Zhao, the prince and others. Now that everything has no chance, she just can't accept it, who let her not take the lead, and there are not enough manpower! Once she and the emperor tear their faces, how much voice can she, the empress dowager who exists in name only, can have a say in the court, and a discerning person can know at a glance.
Qiao Mama looked at the decadent appearance of the queen mother coldly, and was anxious, but helpless, the queen mother can see her situation clearly through Cui Cheng's death is a good thing, but because of this matter, she sank and gave up everything, so what should their lives be? Yes, the queen mother, as the emperor's mother-in-law, uses the emperor's policy of ruling the world with filial piety, naturally no one dares to embarrass the queen mother, but what are these slaves? Not to mention that they offended their masters in the past, let's just say that those in the harem who were already high and low, can they still give them a good life?
Qiao Mama, who is thinking about it in her heart, does not think that there is anything wrong with her worries, from the beginning of the Empress Dowager's reign to the present, although the Empress Dowager has no power, no one dares to bully, but after the death of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager seems to have become the first person in the harem, but this palace power is a little bit of a side, all kinds of calculations are in vain, not a little bit good, the future treatment can be expected, but they are not good, but they are not good, if they can't meet a master like Concubine Zhao who is not greedy at all and treats the harem slaves as people, who can guarantee that they can live a good life without fighting, robbing or fighting。
And the Queen Mother turned a blind eye to Mama Qiao's worries, and immersed herself in her own chagrin, after all, when the self-deceived person finally faced the reality, everything that was too real and realistic would make her have countless doubts about all her past decisions. If you can't get rid of this suspicion, you will either be in the harem, or you will rebel angrily, or you will succeed or fail, anyway, the ending will not be good.
Yinren and they didn't care what the queen mother was thinking at this time, the three of them rushed back from the Huangzhuang, because there was no queen of the main palace, they could ignore the concubines in the harem, but they couldn't be the queen mother, so as soon as the three of them entered the palace, they went directly to Shouning Palace to ask for peace. No matter what they think in their hearts, the etiquette they should have must be done well.
When the queen mother heard the announcement, she originally wanted to raise her hand and refuse, after all, the prince and they had killed her henchmen not long ago, ignoring her face, but she knew in her heart that this seemingly obvious thing was the most unaccountable thing, so no matter how unwilling she was in her heart, she still nodded and let Yinren and them in.
Yinren and them were as high-spirited as she had in her impression, without the slightest change, and they may even have disposed of Cui Cheng's relationship, and the three of them still had a faint trace of anger. As the queen mother, as an elder, she could have stood on a high place and accused them of not being right, but at this moment, the queen mother felt that she couldn't stiffen her waist.
"The grandson (son) greets the royal mother (Huang Eniang), and the royal mother (Huang Eniang) is auspicious. Yinren stood at the forefront, and together with Fuquan, they greeted the Queen Mother.
"Get up!" the Queen Mother's voice was low and mixed with a hint of malaise, and her mental state was much worse than before, and it was obvious that everything that had been before had broken her.
"Thank Huang Ma (Huang Eniang). Yinren and they answered, and before they could speak, they heard the queen mother say 'sit', and the three of them didn't refuse, and sat down.
Although the things in the Huangzhuang can't be explained thoroughly, but since Yinren, the prince, has returned to the palace, then the person in charge of the palace will naturally change from Fuquan to him, after all, Kangxi is the master of the Forbidden City, if he is not there, Yinren as the prince is the master, Fuquan is just a steward, and no matter how close his identity is, he can't overstep his responsibilities.
But this kind of thing is to be done, but formally they still have to let the queen mother with the highest rank in the harem know, which is also a kind of etiquette, as for not caring, to be honest, no one really cares, otherwise the queen mother would not work so hard to fight the idea of Yunxi to prove her existence.
The queen mother listened to Yinren's words, only felt panicked in her heart, she wanted to break it, but to Yinren and Fuquan's cold expressions, it seemed that she couldn't say anything to the mouth, and finally had to let out a long sigh, and said in a more difficult tone: "Since the prince is back, he naturally has to pick up the burden, after all, as long as the rear is stable, the emperor can be worry-free in the front." ”
The queen mother's words are very level, that is, the prince and Fuquan have to praise when they hear it, but it's a pity that everything is late, they will report everything that happened today no matter what, and then Kangxi will only pay attention to these, and will not care about them, and then the queen mother will add those.
"What Huang Eniang said is that the crown prince, as the prince, does need to pick up the burden, as Huang Eniang said, only if we are stable, the emperor can fight wholeheartedly. Fu Quan arched his hand at the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, and that appearance made people think that they had a deep love for mother and son!
But no one here really took this 'kind word' as the truth, because they knew in their hearts that the two sides were not on the same line at all, and if they were not the same choice, they would naturally not get the same result.
The queen mother's heart was cold when she heard this, probably knowing that no matter how much she said, she couldn't change everything, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn't get the result she wanted, so with a few polite words, the queen mother directly found a reason to send them away.
Yinren not only didn't mind when they heard this, but on the contrary, they all breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at them all with confidence, but the queen mother really wants to make trouble regardless of it, even if they can solve it, I am afraid that they will fall into the hands of others. Now it's just right, the queen mother can be restrained, they don't have to say anything, even if the emperor comes back, they won't kill her because of what she did.
