Chapter 251: Circumstance
Liang Jiugong thinks that his ability to do things is still first-class, otherwise with Kangxi's picky temperament, how can he keep him by his side, but in a place like the harem, there are too many places to hide dirt and dirt, and no one can guarantee that there is no greasy in it, and Liang Jiugong, the chief manager who knows his meaning well, naturally does not dare to say that he has not omitted.
The information on this imperial case is only for the materials used by these witch dolls, and who knows about the other aspects, Liang Jiugong is bitter in his heart, after all, there is only a little time, he can't investigate the whole harem clearly, and more importantly, he doesn't know which aspect the emperor is asking.
"Slaves are guilty!" Liang Jiugong's whole person knelt on the ground and trembled, as if he had accepted his fate, waiting for Kangxi's verdict.
"Okay, let's go check it out right away, how did Concubine Tong contact the Queen Mother. Kangxi looked at him like this, and he didn't bother to care, after all, there is only such a little time, even Long Wei can't find out everything, not to mention that Liang Jiugong is just a big internal manager.
Liang Jiugong cautiously raised his head, glanced at Kangxi's gloomy face, swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "The slave obeys the order, and the slave is going to do it." ”
As long as it doesn't take his life, he will do everything else with his heart. What's more, this kind of thing was originally someone who killed himself, who didn't know that the things that couldn't be touched in the harem included witch Gu, whenever this matter was involved, the harem must be bloody, as long as he thought that he might also be implicated, Liang Jiugong hated it so much, but what if he hated it as a little minion, but now it's just right, one can be angry for himself, and the other can show loyalty to Concubine Zhao, the best of both worlds.
After Liang Jiugong went out, Kangxi faced the Qianqing Palace that fell into a dead silence, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy, no matter who this kind of thing was aimed at, he would feel angry, but the one who made trouble really wiped out his last bit of patience. Yun Xi's expression before he wanted to speak and stopped, how could he not understand, but the more he understood, the more chilled he felt.
The fourth child is the son of the Tong family who begged for the past, and he always makes a motherly appearance in front of him on weekdays, but in fact, in order to achieve his own goals, he uses the fourth child as a tool, which is unbearable, if she is not rare The fourth son, he is still distressed!
"What do you think of my son! If you don't know how to cherish it, you have to fight for it in the first place!"
Kangxi frowned, slapped his big palm the imperial case, and the things placed on it vibrated with it, especially those witch dolls, and it was impossible for Kangxi to turn a blind eye. He knows that this matter can only be investigated secretly at present, and it is difficult to deal with it if he does not figure out the beginning and the end, after all, he knows very well in his heart the ability of the Empress Dowager, don't look at her now, she looks like she is dying, but if she really starts, no one dares to underestimate her, like this matter, Kangxi does not think that the Empress Dowager is just following the Tong family or asking her to do it, he believes that there must be other means behind the scenes, in order not to startle the snake, he must endure his anger and continue to investigate.
The Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong still don't know that their plans have been revealed, whether it is Kangxi here or Yunxi, how can the two of them not be vigilant at all when they know that someone is calculating, to put it bluntly, in addition to being too anxious, they think too highly of themselves and underestimate others, always thinking that their past achievements will follow them for a lifetime, and why should others be slapped in the face and trampled under their feet.
Mama Xu didn't know about the big search in Yonghe Palace, at this time she was with Aunt Xiaochi, and the two were exchanging news about the affairs of the Empress Dowager, after all, it was about their own interests, so they couldn't help themselves.
"The Empress Dowager's body is indeed a lot better than before, but I see what kind of forbidden medicine should be used, but I don't know what kind of medicine it is, but recently Cining Palace is heavily guarded, and I can't go out easily, and now it's just right to come, the Empress Dowager and the one in Jingren Palace seem to have reached some terrible agreement, I'm afraid they are targeting Concubine Zhao, you let Niangniang be careful." Aunt Xiaochi's expression was a little anxious, and she didn't speak as unhurried or slow as usual, and when she saw Mama Xu, she was a long list of crackles, and she didn't even take a breath, which shows how anxious she was at this time.
"It's too late, they have already done it, although they don't know what the conspiracy is, but Niangniang has been very vigilant, as soon as she found out that Jingren Palace and Cining Palace had dealings, she sent the old slave to ask about the situation, I didn't expect things to be really as Niangniang thought, the Empress Dowager is really a good means!"
You must know that not only have they always been wary of Cining Palace and Jingren Palace, but they are also very careful, unlike other powerful mothers, who are in a hurry to declare their sovereignty when they get a little power, it can be said that Yunxi's handling methods are very gentle, and they are quite fair and just, and they will not favor anyone because of their personal emotions, so during the period of taking over the palace power, they did not cause anything. But that's it, there are still people who want to step on her mother and climb up, it's really hateful!
"It was my mistake, and if I had passed the news earlier, it wouldn't have been so much. Aunt Koike looked annoyed, how could she not have thought that the soon-to-be-died Empress Dowager would come to a Jedi counterattack and disrupt all their plans.
"It's none of your business, I'll help you deal with it over there, as for you here, be careful, if there is any other news, come over as soon as possible, and I'll come over from time to time." "Mama Xu didn't mean to blame Aunt Xiaochi, she was also negligent in this matter, after all, she was the person in charge of contacting Aunt Xiaochi, whether it was to deliver news or meet in a specific place, others didn't know, so if there was a problem, she would have to pay half of the responsibility.
Aunt Xiaochi looked at Mama Xu, who took the initiative to take responsibility, the expression on her face was slightly stunned, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a little, and her attitude towards Mama Xu was a little more sincere and intimate than before, "I understand, I'll come over as soon as there is news." ”
Why would she betray the Empress Dowager? It wasn't because the Empress Dowager was unfair and didn't care about the lives of these minions. Although the cooperation with Concubine Zhao has a certain purpose, who doesn't like to be taken seriously, who doesn't like to be sincere, and she is the same.
"Okay, then I should go back too, after all, Niangniang is still waiting for news!" Xu Mama didn't notice the change in Aunt Xiaochi, maybe in her opinion, since Aunt Xiaochi was willing to stand on her mother's side, they became people in the same boat.
Aunt Xiaochi sent Mama Xu away, and when she returned to Cining Palace, she happened to meet Aunt Su Mala who came in from outside, Aunt Xiaochi restrained her expression, greeted her, and greeted Aunt Su Mala: "Auntie, where are you going?"
"It's okay, I just went to the hospital to ask about the Empress Dowager's condition, it's been so long, and it's finally getting better, so naturally I have to follow up well so as not to go wrong again." Aunt Su Mala glanced at Aunt Xiaochi, but she didn't think much about it, she just thought that she was concerned about the situation of the Empress Dowager, and said a few words with a smile.
Now the entire Cining Palace is like a pool of stagnant water, and Aunt Su Mala can't tell whether she regrets it or not, but the matter has come to this point, even if she regrets it, she can't change anything, and she can't perfunctory the Empress Dowager this time, so even if she doesn't agree with it in her heart, she has to do it according to the Empress Dowager's wishes. Now as long as she thinks of the Empress Dowager's decision and Concubine Tong's plan, she feels uneasy and worried, whether things are successful or failing, this harem will usher in a bloody storm, she really doubts whether there will really be a winner at that time, or the Empress Dowager wants not to win at all, but to muddy this pool of water and make the emperor embarrassed, if this is the case, she will definitely not be able to forgive herself!
"My aunt has always been thoughtful, the Empress Dowager's illness is indeed the top priority, no, it's almost time to drink medicine, I thought about going over and asking the small kitchen to prepare some honey to send it, and I don't know if it's ready, so I thought about going to see it. A cold light flashed in Aunt Xiaochi's eyes, but she said some trivial things on her face to divert Aunt Su Mala's gaze.
"Then you go quickly, I have to go and see if the Empress Dowager is awake." Aunt Su Mala smiled and nodded, obviously appreciating Aunt Xiaochi's behavior of taking the Empress Dowager to heart.
Aunt Xiaochi didn't say much, what she wanted to show everyone was such a decent image, because only the most mediocre ones were the most unnoticed, and she never thought about turning back since she took refuge in Concubine Zhao, after all, the master can't give the slave a justice, so she, the minion, can only seek justice by herself at all costs.
On the side of Yonghe Palace, as soon as Mama Xu came back, she found that the atmosphere was not right, and after asking, her complexion changed greatly, and after seeing Yunxi, she quickly bowed, and then stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, how could this happen? What kind of attitude does the emperor have? I don't blame you!"
"Mama takes a breath first, since the emperor has taken over this matter, whether he blames it or not, it doesn't matter anymore, what really matters is what the queen mother and Concubine Tong have to do after the move, after all, I can't compare to the stability of the entire harem. Yunxi chuckled, his tone gradually slowed, and every word easily soothed Mama Xu's impatience.
"What Niang Niang said is that it is indeed not us who should really be in urgent need of this matter. Xu Mama was overjoyed when she heard this, she forgot that the emperor was originally a person who took the world as her own responsibility, not only that, but the emperor also cares about his own image, and he usually strives for perfection in doing things, regardless of the previous dynasty or the harem, everything must be done to the best, and the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong seem to want to deal with their own mother, but if you think about it carefully, why not pour dirty water on the emperor, if the emperor doesn't care at all, she has to wonder if the emperor has let people replace him!
