Chapter 355: Wounded
In the past, Kangxi's favor for Yunxi was a measured favor, although it was above all the concubines, it seemed a little restrained, even if it was excessive, it was in private, it could be said to be harmless, like now, in front of everyone, he did not shy away from showing his favor for Concubine Zhao, and he couldn't help but think about it too much.
Yunxi listened to Kangxi's words, but she didn't hold on to what happened just now, she seemed to be heartless, but in fact, she was forcing Aunt Su Mala, who was hiding in the dark, to do it. After all, for Aunt Su Mala, the Empress Dowager is the person she pursues all her life, and her words will affect her, and she may not have induced her dissatisfaction with herself in the past, but after death, all the bad things will disappear, and everything that remains will become a good side, and even continue to ferment, just like the Empress Dowager's attitude towards the favorite concubine and her dissatisfaction may become the reason for Aunt Su Mala's actions against her.
Now, although she can't guess the real reason why Su Mala Gu did something to her, she knows that it is more effective to stimulate her to start from those aspects. If Aunt Su Mala really killed her because of the Queen Mother, then she would definitely not watch Kangxi make an exception for her again and again.
These seem to be women's faults, but without the connivance of men, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just an ordinary woman, and I wonder if the empress dowager also had this kind of thought? It's just a pity that she didn't become the object of being favored by heaven, so this kind of unwillingness will remain in her heart, and over time it will become an obsession, an obsession that cannot tolerate the favor of others.
Now think about it, when the Empress Dowager was alive, all those in this harem who were favored, regardless of their status, would become a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager, the Wei family was like this at the beginning, and she was like this later, Su Malagu has always been by the Empress Dowager's side, and it is inevitable that she will be affected.
Kangxi didn't know what Yunxi was thinking, but when he went to the palace, Kangxi didn't let Yunxi leave, but let her go to the palace together, which once again caused everyone to look sideways, and this kind of treatment seems to be only Yunxi.
If it was before, Yunxi would definitely refuse Kangxi's proposal, after all, she didn't have enough ability, and being too ostentatious would hurt herself, but now that she has something to do, she naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing, on the contrary, the more conspicuous things she has, the more she has to do it, otherwise how can Su Malagu be willing to appear!
Swaggering all the way back to Yonghe Palace, Yunxi thought that Aunt Su Mala would come by surprise, but she didn't appear all the way, and even the others didn't see it, I really don't know if Kangxi cleaned up too thoroughly, or she hid too tightly, so that Yunxi's heart has been hanging in the air.
Kangxi saw the smiling Yunxi, the original gloomy mood instantly improved a lot, although he knew that the matter had not passed, but it was a good thing for them to be able to reveal everything before, and as long as she kept her heart in the future, he would always spoil her to the end, even if she couldn't give everything, but within the scope of his permission, she would definitely become the most beautiful woman in the entire harem.
Su Malagu, who was hiding in the shadows, naturally saw everything in her eyes, she really didn't expect Yunxi's life to be so hard, she made so many preparations, but everything would fail when she reached the most critical place, as if she was targeted at the beginning, and everything didn't go well, which made her feel angry and at the same time had an urge to let go of everything. Originally, she wanted to find someone to divert Yunxi's attention and rush directly while she was unprepared, but in the current situation, even if she rushed over, she would not be able to get close to Yunxi's body, which made her look a little frustrated. But if she really wants to give up, she feels unwilling, after all, such an opportunity will not always exist, and if she misses this opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no next time.
Just when Su Malagu was worried about how to make a move, the heavens seemed to hear her heart, and the people around Kangxi and Yunxi were scattered, and this vacant place made her feel bright, as long as her hands and feet were faster, she might not have no chance to succeed, you must know that this may be her last chance.
Such an opportunity was placed in front of Su Malagu's eyes, making it difficult for Su Malagu, who was already at the end of her rope, to be as calm as before. In fact, to be honest, since she made up her mind to make a move on Yunxi, she has lost her calm and acted very impatiently, otherwise according to her cautious temperament for nearly a lifetime, how could she act frequently, provoking the attention of Yunxi and Kangxi, so that she didn't know if she lost the opportunity, and blindly drilled the tip of the horns, just like now, knowing that the chance of success was very small, but she still stubbornly grasped that opportunity!
Yunxi has been waiting for Aunt Su Mala, as for staying at the gate of Yonghe Palace, and even vacating a place to facilitate her actions, it is because she understands that this Yonghe Palace has long been treated by her like an iron bucket, and Aunt Su Mala can't easily enter, if she doesn't provide a chance, she is afraid that she will have no chance at all today.
She doesn't know how other people's palaces are, but since she, Yonghe Palace, beat Concubine Tong and poisoned her, let alone getting into a living person, it is difficult to send something, not to mention that it is not good for her to sneak in. As the saying goes, if she is so afraid of death, if it is not for the sake of survival, how can she be so bold as to know that there is danger and be willing to use her body as a bait to force Su Malagu to do it.
Yunxi was still worried that this Su Mala Gu would not appear, but she heard an angry shout in a slight flash, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Su Mala Gu had rushed towards her, if it wasn't for Kangxi's quick enough reaction and even lost an arm, she was afraid that she would really regret it for a long time because of her carelessness.
"Your Majesty, are you okay!" Yunxi looked at Kangxi's injured arm, covered his arm with both hands, and walked towards Yonghe Palace with his hands, as for Aunt Su Mala, who was arrested as an assassin, she couldn't care about it at all now.
Because Kangxi was injured, not only the Yonghe Palace, but when the imperial doctor came, the entire harem knew about Su Malagu's assassination of Kangxi, although the fact was that Kangxi was a hero to save the United States, but Yunxi didn't want to let himself be saddled with a bad name for Su Malagu's behavior, so Yunxi would not watch things develop in a direction that was unfavorable to him. She always believes in the saying that a thousand miles of embankment collapses in an anthill, so she never ignores any details, as long as she can take care of it, she is always cautious.
Fortunately, Kangxi's injury was not serious, although the injury on his arm was a little deep, it did not hurt his muscles and bones. However, it was Kangxi who was injured, as the king of a country, even coughing more was a cause for concern, let alone being stabbed.
After the imperial doctor left, Yunxi asked the people in the small kitchen to stew a little bird's nest porridge, firstly to shock Kangxi, and secondly, because Kangxi drank a lot of wine but didn't eat much at the celebration banquet, drinking some porridge to let him suppress the wine, after all, Kangxi risked his life just now, if it weren't for him, according to the situation at the time, maybe Su Malagu would have really succeeded.
Yunxi didn't want to carefully recall her mood at the time, and she didn't want to think about the reason why Kangxi did this, she knew in her heart that since some feelings were stopped, then don't continue, otherwise according to her temperament, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the end, after all, compared to Kangxi's not pure feelings, they live together with each other like ice, anyway, in this palace, no, not so much in this palace, it is better to say that there will never be a shortage of young and tender young women around Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, let's drink some bird's nest porridge first!" Yunxi sent the bird's nest brought by the green sleeves to Kangxi and said softly.
Kangxi sat on the edge of the kang, took the bird's nest porridge and drank it directly, the warm feeling made his originally tense emotions ease a lot in an instant, but when he thought of Aunt Su Mala, Kangxi's brows that had just loosened furrowed furrowed again. He really didn't expect that Su Malagu would be so bold, and even without scruples, it was not so much that he was injured to save Yunxi, but that Su Malagu was injured because he didn't care about him at all.
Although he had already made a decision in his heart about this matter, but when it was time to face it, he began to hesitate a little in his heart, after all, he was the one who raised him single-handedly, coughing lightly, Kangxi glanced at Yunxi and asked, "How are things......?" How's the situation going over there?"
Yunxi knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw Kangxi's expression, but unfortunately from the moment she wanted to fight back, she didn't think about leaving room for Aunt Su Mala, assassinating the emperor, even if she was old, she was also a slave who didn't know how to be humble, "Temporarily detained in the Shen Criminal Division, the concubine has already been ordered, but the emperor's injury can't be hidden at all, now everything that should be known in the palace is known, presumably outside the palace can't be hidden, the emperor won't deal with it today, and I'm afraid that someone will use this as a raft tomorrow." ”
Although Yunxi's words are direct, they are also true, Kangxi will be soft-hearted, but she will not be soft-hearted, after all, she has really spent a lot of thought to get to this point, and she doesn't want to play with Kangxi because of this, or gamble with her own life to gamble on that slightest possibility, so whenever there is a chance, she will not let go of Aunt Su Mala.
Kangxi held the bird's nest with cold eyes: "I forgot that there is no impermeable wall in this harem, and Aunt Su Mala dares to stab in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, whether she is aimed at you or me, this crime cannot be washed away." ”
Kangxi also had complaints about Aunt Su Mala, even if he didn't want to let her go at the beginning, but he didn't want to execute her all at once, what they needed between them was actually an opportunity to ease, but he seemed to be the only one who cared about all this. He still remembered how ruthless the knife Su Malagu stabbed was, otherwise according to his ability, he would never have been injured so badly, to put it mildly, he just believed in the past too much, so he would be stabbed.
"It's good that the emperor knows in his heart, although the concubines still have resentment in their hearts, but the concubines are unwilling to affect the emperor's decision because of themselves. Yunxi looked at Kangxi's face, and when he saw his more and more cold expression, he knew that he actually had a decision in his heart, so he no longer pressed step by step, and chose to retreat as advance.
