Chapter 219: Will Live Up
Although Yunxi doesn't know everything about the current situation of Cining Palace, he also knows a rough idea, after all, Aunt Xiaochi is now also the one who is waiting for the old witch of the Empress Dowager closely, not to mention any occasion, but it is still okay to know the general situation through this.
All the Mongolian concubines in the harem poured into Cining Palace together, which can only show that Kangxi found a way to fight them, and made them very angry, otherwise the Mongolian concubines who have never liked to get together suddenly went to Cining Palace together. Don't think that there is no contradiction between all Mongolian concubines, in fact, just between these Mongolian concubines in the harem, they are divided into several factions, but the empress dowager is pressed on this side, which gives people a false impression of harmony.
Before Mama Xu left the palace, she was serving the Mongolian concubines, and she was clear about the relationship between them, but Yunxi's mind was not on this before, so she didn't care, but now that she has met, she must have to do something.
Before the Empress Dowager suppressed her, these Mongolian concubines also helped, before Fubao was almost hit, it was indeed the Empress Dowager who gave the order, but it was two of the Mongolian concubines who shot. At that time, Yunxi had no ability to deal with them, so she could only hold back the resentment in her heart, and now that Kangxi has played a one-handed trick to draw salary, cut off these life paths, and blocked the back roads of these people, then she naturally wants to seize the opportunity to pay back.
Mama Xu knows the helplessness in Yunxi's heart best, and she also knows her intention to do this, so when Yunxi looked for her, she directly took the matter over, after all, the person around Yunxi who knows the Mongolian concubines and the harem situation best is her.
Regarding the changes in the harem, Kangxi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't stop it, maybe the various plans of the empress dowager and the Mongolian concubines had exhausted all his patience, so whether it was Yunxi or others, it was just not too much, Kangxi turned a blind eye and let these things pass.
Mama Xu was busy for nearly a month, and she didn't see anything during this period, but then the two Mongolian concubines who helped the Empress Dowager fell ill directly, and there was no process of a minor illness becoming a major illness, but she fell ill directly in bed, and she died after only three days.
"What's going on?" When the Empress Dowager got the news, she sat up directly with a shocked face, thinking that the news still had a great impact on her approval.
Su Malagu stood aside, took two steps forward to help her, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, "Gege, this matter is still under investigation, whether there is any trick in it will not be known until the investigation is over." ”
Having lost most of their power, they can no longer sit and wait for the results as before, after all, most of the people they arranged in the palaces in the past have been cleaned up, and now the rest are some pawns who can't play a role, and they can't even get the news back, let alone find out the truth.
Faced with this situation, there was a trace of condensation between her eyebrows, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious and treacherous, she frowned, and her hands subconsciously grasped Su Malagu's arm, and unconsciously clenched: "Su Ma, do you say this is the emperor's handiwork or the means of other people in the harem?"
"Gege......" Aunt Su Mala pursed her lips, but she didn't know what to say, what was going on, she didn't know now, if it was just a guess, she didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence.
She has seen the two Mongolian concubines who died of illness before, not to mention that they are strong and strong, but they are also healthy, even if they are sick, it is impossible to be cured in just three days, which is only one possibility, that is, someone took the opportunity to retaliate, but I don't know who the person who retaliated against them is?
"Su Ma, the mourning family originally thought that even if they lost so much power, as long as the mourning family wanted to start over, they would definitely be able to start again. Now it seems that the mourners take it too seriously. The Empress Dowager calmed down, as if she had figured it out in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be ten years older.
"Gege......" Aunt Su Mala looked at the Empress Dowager, who had never been discouraged, and actually looked like she wanted to admit defeat, as cold as her, and couldn't help but panic, "Gege, things may not be as bad as you think, and the matter of the two concubines may also be a contradiction between the concubines!"
The contradictions between the Mongolian concubines are not only clear to Su Malagu, but also clear to the Empress Dowager, and even some contradictions are provoked by the Empress Dowager herself, which is a kind of irony when you think about it now. Even though they are all from the same place, they can't trust each other.
"Okay, Su Ma, what's going on? I'm afraid I won't be able to find out for a while, as for the emperor's side who wants to come to the mourning family, he can't listen to it, now it's just two concubines who die, who can guarantee that it won't be the mourning family who dies in the future." The Empress Dowager clutched the quilt on her chest, her eyes full of indifference and dead silence.
Everything in the heavenly family is such a reality, for people like the Queen Mother who have survived in the harem all their lives, it is actually a very common thing to become a king and lose a king, but she has been pampered for most of her life, but it is difficult for her to accept defeat calmly as before, she not only has no energy, but also has no fighting spirit in the past.
"Gege, even if you don't have those forces now, as long as you are still the empress dowager and the emperor's imperial mother, no one dares to do anything to you? This time it was all the negligence of the slaves, this time the emperor suddenly ordered an amnesty, although our forces have been cleared, but there are many other people, but the more critical the situation, the more fierce this person will fight. "Su Malagu is not unwarranted speculation, although they are now unable to move, but as long as the Empress Dowager is still the Empress Dowager, there is no shortage of people, and as long as this matter is in the right direction, the real reason will always be found.
The Empress Dowager listened to Su Malagu's words, sighed deeply, and said that the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, she used to listen to it only as a joke, but now she knows the meaning of this sentence, "Su Ma, find a way to contact Horqin, the mourning family doesn't care what happens in the palace, but the mourning family must help Horqin's show girl, otherwise even if it is death, the mourning family will close their eyes." ”
Aunt Su Mala looked at the Empress Dowager who was clutching her arm, and the pain in her arm made her frown slightly, but she didn't say a word, but looked at the Empress Dowager with a distressed face and said comfortingly: "Gege, will the emperor be willing?"
"The mourning family will make him willing. A deep light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and then she let go of Su Malagu's arm and slowly lay back.
So Su Malagu sent the news to Horqin according to the will of the Empress Dowager, even though the Empress Dowager's father and brother were no longer there at this time, but her family still attached great importance to her, whether it was before or now, as long as she had a will, they would definitely be satisfied, after all, compared to the Empress Dowager's interests, their efforts were really insignificant.
And Horqin's mind is much deeper than that of the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager just wants Horqin's women to occupy the main position in the harem, then the men of Horqin just want to improve their status and occupy a place in the court. Don't think that Horqin now occupies the best place for grassland water and grass, they are really satisfied.
The prosperity of the capital, they all see it in their eyes, if they just pass as guests, they will naturally not feel comfortable and satisfied, but if they pass as the host, the situation will be completely different, so they also hope that the next emperor can have their Horqin bloodline, can bring them Horqin, and bring supreme benefits to them Horqin.
When Su Malagu came with the news, not only did they not feel troublesome, but on the contrary, they operated actively, and all the departments of Horqin were singled out as long as they were girls of the right age. Beauty is only a basic condition, and scheming is also a very important link, after all, they want more than just being favored.
Yun Xi saw that Cining Palace did not make any movement because of the death of the two concubines, but silently let them be sent away according to the palace rules, and she guessed that the Empress Dowager must have other plans. But she is not in a hurry to make a move, with her understanding of the Queen Mother, there must be a big move in this!
"Mama, let Aunt Xiaochi keep an eye on it and inquire about the Empress Dowager's plans. In addition, she wanted to deal with Aunt Gui's affairs, and I agreed. Yunxi looked at the delicate armor on his fingers, his eyebrows raised slightly, some things have indeed dragged on for too long, and it will be unpopular to drag it out any longer.
Mama Xu smiled and nodded, this matter did make Aunt Xiaochi wait for a long time, it should have been done a long time ago, but she was afraid of attracting the attention of the Empress Dowager, which made her endure it so far, and now Cining Palace is no longer as good as before, the Empress Dowager is too busy to take care of herself, where can she take care of a minion. When the Empress Dowager was in full glory, she didn't take Aunt Chi, who was loyal to her, to heart, but now that she is down, she naturally can't take care of Aunt Gui even more. After all, they are just minions serving her, and they are said to be confidants, but they are actually no different from other minions.
"Niangniang Shengming, in this way, Aunt Xiaochi will definitely be more dedicated to her mother. Mama Xu thought about Aunt Xiaochi's temptation to her and revealed the idea of wanting to go to Huangzhuang, a trace of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and then she told Yunxi about her plan.
After all, as the person around the Empress Dowager, whether it is openly or secretly, as long as the word 'confidant' is labeled, whether it is true or false, it is the Empress Dowager's person, no matter how the Empress Dowager is, but the people around her are not everyone who can afford it, so Aunt Xiaochi chose to go to Huangzhuang to retire, which can be regarded as a rapid retreat, and it can be regarded as the best choice, although according to her age, the word pension is still far away.
"Now that she has a choice, after waiting for the matter, Mama will see which Huangzhuang is good after all, and arrange for Aunt Xiaochi to go to Zhuangzi to be a housekeeper, at least she doesn't have to be angry with others. Yunxi's voice was soft and tactful, and people couldn't help but want to believe every word she said.
Mama Xu knows Yunxi's temperament, but as long as she does things seriously, she will treat her kindly, like Aunt Xiaochi, who has no family to rely on, alone, Niangniang can consider it like this, it can be regarded as intentions. If it is a different person, even if you don't want Aunt Xiaochi's life, I guess I won't care about her life or death in the future.
"The old slave Dai Xiaochi Aunt Xie Niangniang is very gracious. "Mama Xu's salute is sincere, it is to be glad that she chose the right master, and it is also for Aunt Xiaochi's sincere gratitude.
Yun Xi took two steps forward and personally helped Mama Xu and said: "Mama doesn't have to be like this, since Aunt Xiaochi is doing things for me with her heart, then I will live up to her heart for me, and just as you are loyal to me, I will live up to your trust." ”
