Chapter 137
Chapter 137
The Empress Dowager originally had problems in her own body, but now she was frightened by the words of the imperial concubine, and fell ill again without any accident.Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, the Empress Dowager had been having nightmares during her illness.
The empress dowager, who was tormented by nightmares, was getting worse and worse mentally, and her body became weaker and weaker.Of course, there is no energy to deal with the imperial concubine, let alone put the imperial concubine to death.
Aunt Su Ma was also frightened by the words of the imperial concubine, and she was always restless these days.A few days later, she also fell ill.
Both the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma fell ill, and the Ci Ning Palace suddenly became leaderless, which was a good opportunity for the imperial concubine to make a move.
Seeing that both the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Ma fell ill, the imperial concubine decided to have a showdown with Kangxi and tell him the real reason for his biological mother's death.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing that my concubine has been thinking about for a long time and hesitated for a long time. I don't know if I should tell you?"
It was the first time Kangxi saw the imperial concubine's serious and super disturbed look, his heart shivered, he reached out to hold her hands, and said to her gently: "Yin'er, there is something we can't say between you and me."
The imperial concubine hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this is just my concubine's guess. I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it after I tell you."
"Tell me, there is nothing I can't bear."
The imperial concubine bit her lips, and her hesitant expression became firm: "Your Majesty, my concubine has always felt that there is something strange about my aunt's death. This concubine suspects that my aunt did not die of illness, but was killed by others, and the person who returned my aunt's illness It's the Empress Dowager!"
After listening to the imperial concubine's words, Kangxi's expression did not change at all.
Seeing Kangxi's "calm" expression, the imperial concubine knew that he had already learned about this matter.
"Your majesty, you doubt it too, don't you?"
With a sullen face, Kangxi nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I have suspected it for a long time."
"When?" Seeing that Kangxi had suspected the real cause of his biological mother's death, the imperial concubine was not surprised at all, after all Kangxi was very wise and intelligent.How could Kangxi not guess what she could guess.
"In the early days, it wasn't long before I was in power." Kangxi frowned and said coldly, "When Er Niang died of illness, I was too young to think that Er Niang really died of illness, but when I grew up, I I feel that the cause of Er Niang's death is strange, because Er Niang was always in good health when she was alive."
"Then you..." What the imperial concubine wants to say is, since you have long suspected that the empress dowager killed your mother, why have you remained indifferent.
Kangxi knew what the imperial concubine wanted to say, "Do you think the empress dowager let go willingly?"
Hearing this, the imperial concubine instantly understood something.
"You forced the Empress Dowager to delegate power?"
Kangxi nodded lightly: "If I don't force her, she will never let go."
"Then..." The imperial concubine really wanted to say, is it enough to just force the empress dowager to delegate power?
"At that time, she was useful to live." Kangxi knew what the imperial concubine wanted to say, "When I forced her to delegate power, the tribes in Mongolia were unstable, and I needed her to help me control the tribes in Mongolia."
At that time, the imperial concubine was still very young and hadn't entered the palace yet, so naturally she didn't know about these things.
"It's too strange that she died of illness just after she was released from power." Kangxi said, "So, I didn't do anything to her."
"What did she do to my aunt back then?" The imperial concubine knew that her aunt's death was inseparably related to the empress dowager, but she didn't know exactly what happened.
"What she did to Er Niang back then, I'm doing to her now." When Kangxi said this, his eyes were horrifying.
The imperial concubine was stunned: "So that's the case." She thought that the emperor made the empress dowager fall ill, but she simply didn't want the emperor to kill her, but she didn't expect that there was another reason for it.
"I don't know exactly what she did to Er Niang." Kangxi's face was gloomy, "but I can probably guess what she did. Er Niang was just cold at that time. The imperial doctor tampered with Er Niang's medicine, making Er Niang's body weaker and weaker until Er Niang died of illness."
"Imperial doctor?" The imperial concubine looked surprised, "I thought it was Lagu Su Ma."
"It wasn't La Aunt Su Ma who did it. The Empress Dowager is very smart. If La Aunt Su Ma drugged Er Niang, then if La Aunt Su Ma is found out in the future, La Aunt Su Ma will not be able to keep her." Kangxi said in a gloomy tone, "I will investigate later. , the imperial physician who prescribed medicine to Er Niang in the palace passed away unexpectedly."
"When did you die?"
"The third year after Er Niang died of illness." Kangxi sneered, "In order not to make me or others suspicious, the Empress Dowager arranged everything so that the imperial doctor died in the third year, so that no one would be suspicious. Suspect."
"Good means, as expected of the Empress Dowager." When the Empress Dowager was young, her means were really powerful.
"She has always been very cunning, otherwise I wouldn't be played around by her." Speaking of this, Kangxi's eyes were full of hatred.
When the imperial concubine heard this, she felt very distressed, and stretched out her hand to hug Kangxi into her arms.
Kangxi hugged the imperial concubine tightly, and buried his face in her arms, "I thought the empress dowager was the closest person to me and the person I trusted the most, but she killed her mother in order to control me. At the beginning, when Kangxi suspected that the Empress Dowager had killed his mother, he was very angry and sad. "I can't kill her yet, to avenge my mother!"
The imperial concubine patted Kangxi's back gently, and comforted softly: "Your majesty, you still have concubines, and concubines will never betray you, and will never hurt you."
"Yin'er, for the sake of the situation and my own reputation, I didn't kill her to avenge Er Niang." Regarding this matter, Kangxi has always felt guilty in his heart.
"Your Majesty, my aunt probably doesn't want you to kill the Empress Dowager just to avenge her." The imperial concubine touched Kangxi's head and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, this concubine visited the Empress Dowager and said this before. Aunt Su Ma is already in a panic, and this concubine thinks you can go and ask for clarification."
Kangxi raised his head from the embrace of the imperial concubine, "Okay, I'll ask you now."
"Do you need a concubine to accompany you?"
"If you go, she may not be able to say it." After Kangxi finished speaking, he went to the Compassion Palace.
He came by coincidence, the Empress Dowager just woke up.Although the body is weak, but the mind is very clear.When she saw Kangxi coming, she couldn't help thinking of what the imperial concubine said before, and she couldn't help panicking.
"Xuan Ye..."
"Huang Mamo, the imperial concubine should tell you that I suspect Er Niang's death has something to do with you..."
Before Kangxi finished speaking, he was interrupted sharply by the Empress Dowager, "Xuan Ye, Tong Yin is sowing discord between you and me."
"Huang Mama, I have long suspected that Er Niang's death was caused by you." When Kangxi saw this, the Empress Dowager still quibbled, "Doctor Wu."
Hearing the name Taiyi Wu, the Empress Dowager was like a parrot whose throat was choked, unable to speak a word.
"Back then, when Er Niang was ill, Imperial Physician Wu was always treating her." Kangxi said expressionlessly, "In the third year after Er Niang died of illness, Imperial Physician Wu passed away unexpectedly."
The empress dowager who was weak opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't make any sound.
"Huang Mama, do you really think I don't know anything?" Kangxi's eyes suddenly became cold, "Emiang has always respected you very much and listened to you very much. I don't understand why you want to go to mother to keep your son ?”
The Empress Dowager sat on the bed, closed her eyes and did not look at Kangxi.
Seeing the empress dowager's silent appearance, Kangxi's heart was burning with anger, and his tone was full of anger: "Emperor Mama, answer me!"
At this time, Aunt Su Ma walked in, first saluted Kangxi, and then interceded for the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager had no other choice..."
"I have to?" Kangxi interrupted La Aunt Su Ma, "La Aunt Su Ma, why didn't you stop Huang Mama?"
"The servant stopped me, but...cough cough cough cough..." Aunt Su Ma was also ill, very seriously ill, and her body was also very weak.
"Emperor, don't blame La Aunt Su Ma." The Empress Dowager opened her eyes at this time, her face was pale, and her tone was weak, "La Aunt Su Ma strongly opposed it at the beginning, but the Ai family did not listen to her persuasion."
"The Empress Dowager..."
"Why do you want to stay with your mother?"
"Ai's family has to leave the mother and keep the son."
Kangxi said coldly: "Have to?"
When the Empress Dowager thought of the past, her expression was very sad and at the same time very heavy.
"When you first came to the throne, the situation in the DPRK was very unstable. Aijia can't let other things aggravate the instability..." The empress dowager's expression instantly became very painful when she said this.A face became distorted because of the pain. "Lagu Su Ma, medicine..."
Aunt Su Ma hurriedly stood up and went to get painkillers for the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager took the painkiller pills, and sat on the bed with her head in her hands.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has a headache again. You'd better come and visit the Empress Dowager tomorrow."
"La Aunt Su Ma, it's inconvenient for the Empress Dowager to talk about it now, so tell me." Kangxi looked at La Aunt Su Ma coldly, "Please explain clearly to me."
"Slave...cough cough cough cough..." La Aunt Su Ma's pale face was reddened by a violent cough, and she coughed for a long time before she stopped, "Your Majesty, this slave is seriously ill. Pass it on to you. When the servant recovers from illness, the servant will definitely answer your question truthfully."
La Aunt Su Ma's sick and crooked appearance is indeed not suitable for talking.
Kangxi waved to her: "Go down and rest first."
"Your servant will leave." Aunt Su Ma stood up unsteadily, then left holding the hand of the little maid.
The analgesic pill worked, and the Empress Dowager's head didn't hurt as much as before, but at this time her eyesight was lax, and she looked like her soul was out of her body.Seeing her like this, Kangxi knew that nothing could be said next.
"Have a good rest, and I will come to see you tomorrow." Just as Kangxi turned around and was about to leave, he turned around and added, "I hope that when I come tomorrow, you can figure out how to tell me."
The Empress Dowager did not hear Kangxi's words, she was still immersed in illusion.
Kangxi didn't know that not long after he left, the Empress Dowager went crazy.First he laughed, then cried again.
While crying, she yelled: "Aijia is right! Aijia is right! Aijia is right!"
The maids guarding the door were frightened by the sudden madness of the Empress Dowager, and they dared not go in to serve her.
