Chapter 202: Concealment

With the impetus of Yunxi, the Empress Dowager's every move is more attention-grabbing, and the forces in the palace have turned their attention to Cining Palace.

When it comes to the queen position, there are a lot of concubines in the palace, although the most likely ones are nothing more than the Tong family and the Niu Colu family, after all, these two families have a Queen Mother, and a successor has a successor, with the same background, plus they have the same daughter in the position of the concubine, they just don't want to.

In addition, the Hesheri family of the Yuan Empress is also constantly moving, although the noble girl sent in by their family has not done anything, but even in order to keep the position of the prince, it is impossible for them to sit on the wall and watch, and let others seize the opportunity. In this way, the entire harem can be described as an undercurrent surging, and there is constant movement.

Kangxi is here because of the news sent by Qiaoying and Long Wei, even if he doesn't know everything, he can understand Yunxi's approach, after all, he is so busy now that he hits the back of his head, even if there is someone to protect Yunxi's mother and son, he can't guarantee that he will be able to protect it, after all, he has only seen the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Empress Dowager, so he is so shocked, who knows how powerful it is hidden in the shadows.

It's okay now, the water in the front and back harems has been muddyed, everyone has made their own little calculations, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, but it is becoming more and more favorable to him. He was originally worried that he would cause their mother and son to be in danger because he couldn't take care of their mother and son because of the things going up, but now it seems that the girl is more capable than he thought, at least this little head turns faster than anyone else.

Kangxi really doesn't like scheming people, but Yunxi's move is like being clever, which can solve problems without hurting people, and it can be regarded as the best of both worlds. As for the impact of this matter, if it was in the past, Kangxi would definitely oppose it, and even blame Yunxi, but now, since he chose to stand on the opposite side of the Empress Dowager, it is impossible to think about her in everything, after all, their ancestors and grandchildren will be on the opposite side sooner or later!

As the king of a country, Kangxi doesn't want to be like the first emperor, everything is decided by others, and even which woman is favored and who has children has to be nodded by others, so what is the use of him as an emperor!

Seeing this, Kangxi even secretly helped Yunxi, making the wind blow stronger and stronger, and more and more people were involved, and naturally it became more and more muddy. If you don't know it, you can only go with the flow, and those who know it, like Kangxi and others, took this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and protect their own forces.

Here in Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager's illness is getting worse and worse, and sometimes she will faint, which makes Su Malagu very worried, coupled with all kinds of rumors that are spreading outside, even if she has the intention to stop it, she is powerless to solve it, involving the battle for the throne, what can she do as a little slave, and the Empress Dowager's illness is getting worse and worse, for a while, she doesn't know whether she should tell the Empress Dowager about it.

Su Malagu tried all kinds of ways to erase the impact of this incident, but the temptation of the back position was too great, she couldn't break other people's thoughts after all, and even the methods she came up with were repeatedly overturned by others, but also made the rumors more and more intense, to this day, even she herself is not sure if she has the ability to deal with this matter, but the imperial doctor said that the queen mother's illness can no longer be stimulated, otherwise it will affect the longevity.

Su Malagu repeatedly comforted herself in her heart, as long as she expressed her attitude at the right time and then contacted those ministers outside the palace, this matter would definitely be suppressed, after all, the prestige of the Empress Dowager was here.

Seeing that it was time for the Empress Dowager to drink the medicine again, Su Malagu looked at the other people's eager appearance, sighed lightly, took the medicine, and whispered to them to prepare a bowl of honey water, and then stepped forward a few steps to wait for her to drink the medicine.

In the past, no matter how bad the temper of the Empress Dowager was, this medicine was also drunk in one go, but now it is divided into several times to drink the medicine in the bowl, and the Empress Dowager's expression is so decadent that she seems to have aged twenty years old overnight, and the black hair that was originally just mixed with some white hair has become almost white at this time, which makes Su Malagu feel distressed for a while, but she is helpless.

After the Empress Dowager drank the medicine, the whole person only felt a suffocating feeling in her chest, and the lingering bitterness in her mouth made her brows furrow, and the moment she turned her head, she seemed to think of something again, and looked at Aunt Su Mala beside the bed with a puzzled face and asked: "Su Ma, it seems that the emperor hasn't come to Cining Palace to ask for peace for the mourning family for some days, right?"

During this time, the Empress Dowager's illness became more and more serious, and she was groggy and groggy, and she couldn't even take care of the original arrangement, where could she take care of Kangxi, but she suddenly thought of the previous emperors who stayed in the province every morning and dusk, and never slacked off a day, even if she was exempted from asking for peace, he would come to take a look, not to mention when she was unwell, and in recent years, the conflict between their ancestors and grandchildren has become increasingly obvious, the emperor does not say that he comes every day, and he will come every three or five places, but she just thought about it for a long time, and suddenly found that she had been sick for so long this time, and the emperor didn't seem to have come a few times, and in an instant, the expression on the face of the Empress Dowager couldn't help but become difficult to see。

Su Malagu held the bowl in her hand, and the expression on her face also looked a little hesitant, "Gege forgot, recently the army returned to Beijing, the emperor wants to reward the three armies, and it is very busy, so you will be exempted from asking for peace, the emperor has not entered the harem recently because he is busy, but he has sent someone to ask about Gege's current situation, and also instructed the slaves and maids to serve Gege well, so that Gege can recover as soon as possible." ”

In the face of the situation of the sick queen mother, Su Malagu really didn't dare to tell the truth, because the emperor's attitude was mostly because of the stubbornness of the queen mother, and she didn't blame much, after all, the queen mother wanted the life of the emperor's wife and children, if he didn't react at all, she felt cold, but what made her even more embarrassed was that the queen mother was her master, and she should have been on her side, but when she thought of the three lives of Zhao Concubine's mother and son, she felt hesitant, if not, when she found out about the rumors, she should have told the queen mother as soon as possible, instead of dragging it out to the current dilemma, it is even more difficult to speak。

In fact, not long after the rumors came out, Su Malagu had already noticed it, after all, with the power of the Empress Dowager in the harem, the harem could not hide anything from Cining Palace, not to mention the courtiers outside the palace. Obviously, she has a chance to close, but she doesn't want the Queen Mother to continue.

"Is this really the case? Su Ma, what are you hiding from the mourning family, or did the emperor make some decisions?" The Empress Dowager suddenly stared at Su Mala, with suspicion and dissatisfaction in her tone, and asked with hatred.

She did not become as sharp as before because of her illness, but this does not mean that she is stupid, Kangxi was brought up by her, and she still knows a little about his temperament, if it weren't for what happened, even if their ancestors and grandchildren really tore their faces, even if he pretended to show others, he would come to this Cining Palace every day. Now that she didn't come, there must have been something she didn't know that broke her plans?

Could it be that something happened to Concubine Zhao's mother and son? If this is the case, she feels happy, after all, an emperor cannot have weaknesses, let alone true feelings, if Concubine Zhao really enters the emperor's heart, and now she dies can be regarded as a wake-up call to the emperor, so that he understands that the emperor cannot be sincere, and she is afraid that things are not what she thinks!

As for the emperor, he was confronted by Prince An, and the emperor did not let go of the matter of the last full moon banquet. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was gloomy and in a state of being about to explode, Aunt Su Mala immediately spoke out to appease her emotions.

"Oh, is that so?" The Empress Dowager's cloudy eyes were staring at Aunt Su Mala, obviously having a trace of doubt about her words, although she knew in her heart that Kangxi would definitely be able to do this kind of thing with Kangxi's character of retribution, but she didn't believe that just this matter didn't take up all of Kangxi's time, after all, it was just a Prince An, and it wouldn't make Kangxi busy, unless he had other plans, but knowing that there was a problem, she herself was sick in bed, so even if she had the heart to investigate, I was afraid that it would be difficult to find out the truth.

Su Malagu looked at the empress dowager's half-believing eyes, and forced a smile: "How can the slave and maid deceive Gege? Although the emperor has a misunderstanding with Gege, he has reconciled with Gege before, even if Gege has other plans, but before the plan is completed, the emperor will not alienate Gege for no reason. Seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression was relaxed because of her words, Su Malagu couldn't help but continue: "I'm afraid that the winner will soon be divided between the emperor and Prince An, and it may be that at a critical time, the emperor did not come to Cining Palace in person to greet you." ”

Most of Su Malagu's words are true, but she didn't dare to say all the things, after all, a series of changes caused by rumors must be a fatal blow to the Queen Mother, you must know that the Queen Mother spent a lot of thought in order to win over those nobles, and now just because of a rumor, the originally stable alliance tends to dissolve, how dare she open her mouth for such a thing.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what Su Malagu was thinking, but she was very disappointed when she heard that Concubine Zhao's mother and son were not dead, but she temporarily put it aside for the time being that Kangxi couldn't come to Cining Palace. It's just that her body is already weak, and with such an excitement, the weak Empress Dowager has obviously become more physically weak, and the whole person is leaning on the head of the bed, panting, "Prince An has indeed forgotten to measure, and it is a good way for the emperor to use this to shock the ministers, I am afraid that the emperor will do too much and cause the prince of the clan to rebound, which really makes it difficult for the mourning family to rest assured!"

The Empress Dowager did not object to Kangxi dealing with Prince An, it can be said that as long as the harem was not involved, the Empress Dowager still supported Kangxi's decision, as if she opposed the withdrawal of the feudal domain at the beginning, and Kangxi insisted, and she finally responded. And now that it involves the harem and the interests of Horqin, she naturally can't agree as easily as before, after all, Horqin is her root.
