Chapter 189: Intolerable
These words are all Yunxi's heartfelt words, she never thought of confessing her heart to Kangxi, but she also didn't think about deliberately hiding anything, after all, in her opinion, lies are the most unbearable scrutiny, and she doesn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings because of temporary concealment.
Kangxi looked at Yunxi, who was not quibbling or concealing, and nodded secretly, this time the matter was seen by him by chance, otherwise he would never know the truth, although such a truth is exactly what he can't tolerate, but compared to these truths, what he can't tolerate is that she hurts herself.
"I can tolerate the harem concubines' calculations for their own safety, but there is one thing I can't tolerate. Kangxi's eyes were firmly fixed on Yunxi, and in the end, the words became word by word.
Although Yunxi is not known for her intelligence when she is a child, she has lived for two lives, plus she has been stranded in the world for hundreds of years, she can go straight to the core and accurately point out the key point without saying anything, but when Kangxi's words are said to this, she naturally understands what he means, but there are some things she can't guarantee him, because the emperor can't be her backing, and she has no power to protect herself, so she can only continue to walk on her own like now.
"Although the emperor's concubines understand what he means, but the concubines can't do it?" Yunxi told the truth, and did not change his attitude because Kangxi changed his face.
Although Mama Xu and the others on the side were a little far away and couldn't hear what the two said, just looking at the atmosphere between the two, they knew that it was not very good, and everyone was a little worried for a while, but when the master spoke, how could they intervene, so even if they knew that it was wrong, they could only stand by and wait anxiously.
When Kangxi heard this, he raised his lips and smiled: "I thought you would admit it directly, and then admit your mistake to me, and take the opportunity to expose it." Now it seems that I took it for granted. Kangxi thought that Yunxi had been harassed since he entered the palace, and he made up his mind that he wanted to deal with the affairs of the Empress Dowager as soon as possible, at least not let the Empress Dowager do anything to pregnant concubines again, especially to Yunxi.
Yunxi saw that Kangxi no longer continued the question just now, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that he was taking it for granted, Kangxi just relaxed his attitude, and did not directly expose the matter, that is to say, Kangxi valued her, not indulged her, the moment she looked up, her eyes touched the jade wrench finger that Kangxi's thumb kept turning, and she knew that Kangxi was still waiting for her answer, and couldn't help but say lightly: "It's not that the emperor takes it for granted, but the concubine takes it for granted." ”
"What do you mean?" Kangxi's gaze fell directly on Yunxi, but his voice revealed a hint of coldness.
Yunxi's body stiffened slightly, then turned his head to look at Kangxi, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the concubines have not been favored since they were young, and they are walking on thin ice every step of the way, and they have relied on themselves to survive until now." Although the emperor gave the concubines a lot of maintenance, there were some things that the emperor would inevitably not take into account, but the concubines didn't want to blindly forbear, but they didn't have the power to make a move, so they ...... "So she can only use herself as bait to lure those with ulterior motives to take the bait."
As soon as Yunxi's words fell, Kangxi's slightly cold face paused slightly, and his face looked a little complicated, he didn't say anything because he couldn't understand Yunxi, but because he couldn't continue to see her in danger. To put it bluntly, everything she did was only for self-preservation, and she never meant to hurt others, she could say that she stopped at the point, and she was not like other concubines, when she encountered an opportunity, she either fell into the well or took advantage of someone's illness to kill someone.
The forces in the palace are intertwined, even if most of Kangxi's plans are smooth, it is only a matter of time before he recovers power, but there are too many hidden in this harem, even if he is the king of a country, he cannot completely guarantee that everything is under his control, especially the recent actions of the empress dowager have made him realize that it is not enough to just hold power, and the harem must be under his control, otherwise the front is stable, and the rear is on fire, and he still can't sit on the high platform.
Kangxi realized Yunxi's concerns, and then remembered this harem concubine, but all the show girls who were born in the Eight Banners have family support, not to mention the power of the clan, but they also have a certain weight, but Yunxi is an exception, since she entered the palace, the Suo Yuluo family has the heart to support, but she does not accept it, just to maintain the peace on the surface, which means that in addition to not having the heart of forming a party for selfishness, she also does not believe in the family.
Kangxi thought about her difficulties, but he didn't blame too much, but he didn't want to see such a dangerous picture again, "I know that Xi'er is not easy, but I don't want you to use yourself to test the risk." ”
Yunxi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and after pondering for a while, he smiled helplessly, and looked directly into Kangxi's eyes the moment he raised his head, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to take risks with herself, but there is no absolute, the concubine can only guarantee that if there is a way, the concubine will never go to danger." ”
Seeing this, Kangxi just stretched out his hand to hold her soft, felt the coldness in his hand, and knew that the scene outside the Cining Palace and the situation just now actually had an impact on her, so he didn't say more, he just wanted to make another arrangement in secret, at least let her slowly feel that he, the emperor, could let her rely on.
On that day, although Kangxi did not stay in Yonghe Palace, he gave Yunxi a lot of rewards, which made all the concubines in the harem clearly realize that Kangxi, the emperor, attached great importance to Yunxi, the concubine and the child in the belly of the concubine, and could not afford to lose. For a while, not to mention the empress dowager, even the concubines in the palace subconsciously avoided Yunxi, so as not to implicate themselves if something really happened.
As the most noble woman in the harem, the Empress Dowager has a very high prestige, and she always acts according to her own thoughts, even if she will take care of it, it is only the emperor. And now that the emperor has indicated that he wants to protect Yunxi, how can the Empress Dowager be happy, but if she wants to say that she will turn her face with Kangxi just for one Yunxi, the Empress Dowager can't do it, but she is so angry that her body, which is not good, suddenly collapses.
Aunt Su Mala was taken aback, originally she thought it was the Empress Dowager's way to deal with it, but who knew that the Empress Dowager was really sick, even if she was as old as Aunt Su Mala, she was a little caught off guard at this time.
The Empress Dowager fell ill, Concubine Yi was grounded, and the concubines in the harem were temporarily dissipated, but the small Yonghe Palace in Yunxi was not at peace.
Yunxi really didn't understand how Kangxi understood her words, it was true that she was unavailable in the palace, but she had also developed a lot of power in recent years, but now that the emperor has sent a lot of people at once, there are indeed people available now, and she doesn't know how to use them?
Kangxi is indeed very good to her, but the trust between them is not strong, especially Yunxi has experienced too much, the more she thinks about it, if Kangxi does not give her enough security, she will not be able to be honest with her, so these people are not a help but a trouble for her.
Let's not mention Qiaoying first, let's just say that she can't guard against Longwei in secret, and now she accepts these people, I'm afraid she really doesn't know how to arrange it, after all, she really doesn't have so much energy now, and she doesn't know if these people are loyal to Kangxi.
Mama Xu on the side looked at Yunxi, who had not spoken for a long time, and took two steps forward to persuade: "Niangniang, the previous things have passed, since the emperor sent someone over, he said that he didn't mind the previous things, and Niangniang still has something to be embarrassed about." ”
In Mama Xu's opinion, since the emperor saw that he was not angry with his own mother, it proves that the emperor regards his own mother more seriously than other concubines, isn't this a good thing?
Yunxi came back to his senses, and when he looked up at Mama Xu, his face was a little gloomy, and he said in a light tone: "What is there to be embarrassed about? Mama, I am embarrassed in any place? The emperor sent me these people with good intentions, but Mama, don't forget that a Qiaoying has only been a guide until now, plus these people, who can guarantee who can be used by me." ”
Mama Xu was already pale at the moment, and Yunxi's words also made her speechless, she only said that the emperor valued her mother enough, but she forgot that the emperor's people were the emperor's people no matter how they were, and their own mothers might be able to use them, but it was difficult to get their loyalty. There is no loyal person, who dares to entrust trust and burden, to put it bluntly, everything just now is just that she took it for granted.
"Niangniang, since these people have already been sent, whether they can be used or not, or whether they can be used by Niangniang, it is indeed a problem, but there will still be a few of them that can be used. "Mama Xu didn't mean nothing when she said this, after all, weren't there a few people sent by the Internal Affairs Office before who could be used?
Yunxi thought for a moment, couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Then these people will be taken care of by Mama for the time being, and when we find out their details, we will make plans." ”
"Yes. Mama Xu saluted Yunxi, turned around and walked out.
Yunxi turned sideways and slowly lay back on the beauty couch, too many things really happened on this day today, her mind was very messy, and she didn't know how to impulsively tell Kangxi what was in her heart, but what surprised her even more was that Kangxi was not angry, she originally thought that with her way of doing things, Kangxi would at least be angry even if she was not angry, but in the end Kangxi chose to forgive her, and even arranged all this for her.
She knew that what Kangxi couldn't tolerate the most was not her calculations, but that she used her own safety to calculate others, this feeling of being cared for made her feel warm in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the atrium that was originally just a crack was cracked, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger, maybe it would not be long before she fell into his tenderness.
"Your Majesty, don't let me down! Because I can't tolerate the recurrence of the tragedy of the previous life, and I will not be like the previous life, and I will only make people hurt and lose my life. With a deep sigh, the corners of Yunxi's mouth suddenly raised a deep arc, but although this smile was beautiful, there was no warmth.
