Chapter Ninety-Nine: Investigation
After Yunxi returned to the East Side Palace, before he could let the green sleeves pay attention to the movements of the Qianqing Palace, he heard that the emperor was furious.
Wei Changzai is ambitious and wants to get rid of the embarrassing situation of having a favor but no power through a child, but he forgets that everything about her is given by Kangxi, the emperor, once she angers Kangxi, not to mention anything else, it is still a question whether she can keep what she can have now.
Sometimes if you reverse your priorities, or if you look down on yourself, you will also suffer a lot.
However, Yunxi was also a little uneasy in her heart, she knew the reason why the Empress Dowager supported her, but now that Wei Chang was dying, and Wuya nobles were neglected again, she was the only favorite concubine on the bright side. She didn't think that the Empress Dowager would tolerate her continuing to be favored because of her background, so she could be regarded as in crisis.
It is impossible for her to push Kangxi out, and it is even more impossible for her to push other women in front of Kangxi. Influenced by that civilized era, her thinking has changed a lot. Although she was disappointed that Kangxi couldn't give her a wholeheart, fate let her enter the palace, and she had to find a good future for herself if possible.
If only a high position can sit back and relax, then she will seek a high position, if only power can allow her to achieve what she wants, then she will find the right, if only by forgetting love can she enjoy peace forever, then she will hide her heart tightly and put on a mask to face everything.
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the palace was very strange, and no one seemed to be happy that Wei's pregnancy was pregnant, on the contrary, it seemed to add some problems to people.
Kangxi hasn't flipped the cards for several days, and it can be seen that Kangxi is in a very bad mood, and Wei Changzai, who broke out of her pregnancy, not only did not get any reward, but on the contrary, she fell silent.
"Noble, Concubine Rong invites you over for tea. Qiao Ying stood aside and replied softly.
Yunxi, who was sitting on the kang, came back to his senses, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked directly to the main hall with Qiaoying.
When Yunxi arrived, Concubine Rong was coaxing the three-year-old third elder brother to play, the white and chubby third elder brother had already been familiar with Yunxi, and when he saw her come in, he immediately ran to her with his little short legs, and said in a milky voice: "Your nobleman." ”
Yunxi raised his hand and scraped the tip of the third elder brother's nose, and chuckled: "Third elder brother An." ”
Concubine Rong was happy to see Yunxi and the third elder brother asking and answering, and the smile on her face deepened a lot, and when the two finished renewing the old one, Concubine Rong motioned to the grandmother to take the third elder brother out, and she herself took Yunxi's hand to the table and sat down, "You have heard all the news in the palace." ”
"What is that Niangniang referring to?" Yunxi asked softly.
"This palace has just received the news, Wei Chang has now been handed over to Concubine Hui to take care of, as for her green head card has been removed, according to the empress dowager's attention to you, among the next concubines, you should be the most favored. ”
Yunxi listened to Concubine Rong's words, and smiled a little dryly: "Niangniang's words are still early, if I am really favored like Wei Changzai, the first one who can't tolerate me is the Queen Mother." ”
Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and instantly understood, "I thought about it." ”
"No, Niangniang is a good intention, I still understand this. However, Wei Chang has been making trouble for so much recently, and the emperor should not have this mind in a short time. It's just that when this matter falls, the empress dowager is afraid that it will be ......" Yunxi sighed, although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning was very clear.
"Indeed, since you entered the palace, Wei Chang has indeed been favored less often. Before, it was only a newcomer who entered the palace to distract the emperor's favor from her, but now it seems that although the result is the same, it makes your situation very passive. Concubine Rong also sighed when she thought of her former self.
Wei Changzai is indeed immortal and jade-looking, but the clouds and tides in front of him are also beautiful and beautiful, such two beauties, she can't help but look at them twice, let alone the emperor, a big man.
"It's good that you can know your situation, in this palace, you can't be favored, and you can't be too favored, you have to remember to handle it well. In addition, if you give birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, you will have a good one to rely on in the future. The first few sentences are advice, and the last sentence is Rong Concubine's personal experience.
"Xie Niangniang. Yunxi listened to Concubine Rong's words, couldn't help but stand up, and solemnly gave her a blessing salute.
From entering the palace to the present, although Yunxi knows that Concubine Rong has no intention of competing for favor, she doesn't dare to believe in others, but at this moment, Concubine Rong dares to dig out her heart and persuade her a few words, even if she doesn't return her sincerity, she has to thank her for this heart.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Rong couldn't help but smile and pull her to sit down and said, "I also see that we have a similar temper, and I said a few more nonsense, just listen to it." ”
"Yes. Yunxi didn't say much when he heard this, but nodded obediently.
The sound of cicadas outside the house is endless, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, Yunxi not only has a bad appetite these days, but even sleep is not very good, in the middle of the night will always surprise from the dream, just six or seven days, Yunxi will be haggard a lot.
Concubine Rong thought that what she said before scared her, and she felt guilty, so she sent a lot of supplements, which made Yunxi blush, but she didn't know how to explain it.
The safe pulse of the harem concubines is generally once every half a month, and it has not been a few days since the last diagnosis of the safe pulse, and Yunxi said that it was uncomfortable, but in fact, it can also be said that the weather has changed too much. If it was because of this, it would be a bit of a big deal in the eyes of others, so in order not to take the lead, Yunxi didn't let Mama Xu and them go to ask for a doctor.
Although Mama Xu was worried in her heart, she also knew in her heart that Wei Chang's affairs had been in trouble for almost half a month, and the emperor had not turned over the cards, so you can imagine how angry the emperor was. Knowing that the emperor is in a bad mood, he still made some noise, this is not what it is to cause trouble!
Yes, this illness is already a fixed means for the harem concubines, they know that it is true, but others don't know, when the time comes, what misunderstanding will it really cause, and her nobles can't tell it clearly.
But just when Yunxi was pulling his fingers and waiting for the diagnosis of Ping'an's pulse, a news suddenly came out of the palace - Wei Chang had a miscarriage, and this news made the harem explode again just like Wei Chang was pregnant before.
While everyone was guessing who had secretly made the move, they were secretly glad that there was one less competitor in their hearts. Whether it is a pregnancy or a miscarriage, the body can not be favored during the period of recuperation, so that the originally favored ones are pulling how to compete for favor, and the originally unfavored ones are pondering how to be favored. For a while, the harem, which had been quiet, suddenly became lively again.
In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi looked at the information sent back by Long Wei expressionlessly, and his hands holding the fold were full of green muscles, and his heart was like a knife cut, and he was uncomfortable. From Wei's pregnancy to miscarriage, it was only ten days of work, but these ten days were enough for him to send someone to find out the ins and outs of the matter.
Wei's pregnancy made him very angry, and Wei's miscarriage made him feel uncomfortable and relieved at the same time, in short, the mood was quite complicated.
Whether it is the Wei family or the Wu Ya family, Kangxi can be said to be very defending, but it was these two women who made him feel relieved that they slapped him hard with facts.
Kangxi looked at the fold in his hand over and over again, for a long time, as if he accepted it, he leaned the whole person into the shadow of the dragon chair, like a wounded beast, gloomy and depressed, with a dangerous and terrifying aura all over his body.
He didn't expect that after Wu Ya's family, the Wei family would also calculate against him because of his ambition, as well as the Empress Dowager! Regardless of whether the child in Wei's belly was what he expected, it was his flesh and blood, but the Empress Dowager did not hesitate to make a move.
He has always respected the Empress Dowager because of the country, and because of her grace and maintenance of him when he was a child. Since he ascended the throne, he has not said that everything is in line with the empress dowager, at least he has little rebellion in all matters in the harem. The only thing that didn't go her way might be that she fell in love with Wei and Wu Ya.
But even so, he repeatedly appeased her, but he never thought that the Empress Dowager would do something to his heirs, you must know that he is only four sons now, and no one dares to guarantee it before he grows up. Even if Concubine Yi is pregnant, who knows if it is a man or a woman, and what will happen in the future?
What is the Empress Dowager trying to do?
If it weren't for the fact that he gradually gathered the authority of the harem because of the relationship between the queen and the queen, maybe he still wouldn't know that the imperial grandmother he respected was such a ruthless person.
He really couldn't believe that the royal grandmother who had protected him and raised him since he was a child was such a femme fatale.
Do you really have to follow her in everything, choose the people she values, spoil the people she values, and let her give birth to heirs, so that this harem can be peaceful?
Kangxi was shocked in his heart, and somehow, he suddenly thought of the death of the first emperor, although the first emperor died of smallpox, but no one seemed to have thought about whether the disease started from man or accident. After all, the Empress Dowager, as the biological mother of the first emperor, will not do anything to her own son no matter how ruthless she is, but if it is really impossible, what is it now?
Kangxi had a fierce tug-of-war in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to believe in the Empress Dowager, thinking that she just didn't want to break the ancestral system, and on the other hand, he felt that the person who could attack his own heirs might have done other things at the beginning, such as getting rid of the first emperor. Kangxi sat on the dragon chair with a calm face, his fingers knocked on the table again and again, compared to the calm and calm before, Kangxi's heart was messy at this time, and his brain was about to become a mess.
In the end, after hesitating for a moment, Kangxi finally chose to call Long Wei and signaled them to investigate the cause of the first emperor's death. If everything is his speculation, then it is impossible for him to do it to the Empress Dowager for the sake of a Wei family, but everything is true, then he must seek justice for the first emperor and himself.
