"Imperial Concubine Xi is also a kind mother.
It seems to be a little too much.
But didn't you just say that the godly doctor who was invited into the palace eased fourth elder brother's leg pain a lot? "
"Maybe he really does have some ability."
Listening to Siyang's words,
Imperial Concubine Qi curled her lips in her heart.
What was she pretending for? She couldn't do it. Siyang didn't hold a grudge against Imperial Concubine Xi for what she had done in secret. She restricted her from saying these things, so it was easy for her to stand and talk.
Alright.
Imperial Concubine Qi herself was the same.
"Sigh." Putting aside the fish food bowl in her hand, Siyang stood up and took two steps forward. "Fourth elder brother experienced that kind of accident, and it's indeed heartbreaking. It's understandable for Imperial Concubine Xi to do this. Let her torment herself."
"Imperial Concubine Gui is right.
However, I'm just worried that Imperial Concubine Xi will be too obsessed with this matter.
And... "
And the Emperor was also involved.
She could hear the meaning behind Imperial Concubine Qi's words.
Siyang smiled and looked at her. "The Emperor is wise and mighty.
How could he be so easily blinded by other people's tricks?
I thought.
That was just to comfort Imperial Concubine Xi. "
The Emperor would do that?
Imperial Concubine Qi didn't believe it.
But looking around, Siyang was uneasy. She felt that it was meaningless to continue her words. After twisting her handkerchief, she didn't mention it anymore.
"Why did Imperial Concubine Qi come to tell Master this?" On the way back, Xiang Lan was puzzled.
"She wants to use me as a tool."
"Ah?"
Playing with a flower in her hand, Siyang smiled slightly. "Imperial Concubine Qi is thinking long-term. Her third elder brother is gradually growing up. She wants to plan a future for him."
Xiang Lan finally understood. She was stunned. "Isn't Imperial Concubine Qi thinking too..."
"Not far." Siyang shook her head. There was a deep meaning in her eyes. "The Emperor's health is not good. When he fought for the throne, he put in a lot of effort. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about a godly doctor who suddenly appeared."
"So she's thoughtful. However, I don't want to let her go."
Imperial Concubine Xi indeed had the Blood Demon Barrier.
Hongli was her lifeline, and she had wanted him with all her heart. Back in her mansion, she had gone to great lengths to conceive, give birth to him, and then carefully raise him. Everything she had done was for the sake of her son. How could she ever have imagined that, in the blink of an eye, everything would be destroyed?
When she learned that Hongli's leg had to be amputated, she fell ill in her own Jingren Palace. Later, when she was muddle-headed due to her illness, a little palace maid told her that there was a Taoist temple in her hometown. No one knew how old the Taoist was, but this Taoist was very capable. His medical skills were quite miraculous.
At first, Madam Niobalu didn't take it seriously. However, later she heard that this Taoist not only had good medical skills, but also knew how to refine pills. According to the old people there, the Taoist was at least over a hundred years old. He was simply a living immortal.
Upon hearing this, Madam Niobalu's heart became lively. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of having another child. That way, there would be hope. However, she didn't want her Hongli to really become like Prince He Shuochun. Clearly, he had the power to compete for that position. However, the imperial physician told her that her body was damaged when she gave birth to Fourth Elder Brother. The chances of her getting pregnant again were not high.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Madam Niobalu carefully interrogated the little palace maid and went to ask the Emperor. Fortunately, the Emperor pitied her and agreed to her request.
Recently, there were no other major events in the palace. It could be said that everything was calm. If there was really something, it would be that the Emperor had become interested in alchemy.
Yin? It was no secret that he liked Buddhism. They didn't expect him to be interested in Taoism as well.
At first, when they learned of this, the court officials panicked. How many emperors in history who were addicted to refining pills were good? If it was those tonics that had been tested by others, it would be fine. However, they were afraid that the one who made the Emperor refine pills was a charlatan.
Fortunately, although the Emperor was fascinated by pills, he was not careless about political affairs. The new Emperor's methods were not softer than the previous Emperor's. After thinking about it, everyone didn't propose to persuade him. Because there were well-informed people who knew that the divine doctor who refined pills was mainly because of Fourth Elder Brother's leg injury. They didn't want to poke at the Emperor's wound.
Under such circumstances, Yin? Also became more and more interested in pills.
The women in the harem were also worried. However, later they found that this divine doctor was still somewhat skilled. Several concubines had some hidden diseases. After a few prescriptions, they actually improved.
Then there were rumors.
It was said that Imperial Concubine Xi had called the divine doctor into the palace not to treat Fourth Elder Brother's leg injury, but because she hoped that she could get pregnant again. This time, the concubines who didn't have children had their own thoughts. Even the Empress was no exception.
Siyang maintained a state of indifference to all of this. She quietly watched the development of the situation.
These days, Yin? Became more and more obsessed with pills. Other than going to the imperial court to correct memorials, he wasn't interested in changing the status of the harem. It had been a long time since he came to Yikun Palace. She was happy that she didn't have to prepare anything.
However, Siyang was also quite busy recently. Fu Hui was three years old and needed to be taught well. After all, there wasn't much time left.
In the fourth month, news came from Xining that the Qing army had a great victory. The army gathered by Luo Buzang, Danjin, and Zungar tribe's Ce Wang Arabtan was defeated by the Qing army and fled.
However, Luo Buzang and Ce Wang Arabtan still escaped and took refuge in the interior of Dzungar. Without perfect preparation, Dzungar, which was a difficult bone to chew, could not be bitten for the time being. The late Emperor Kangxi's three expeditions to Dzungar did not completely eliminate its hidden dangers.
Therefore, after knowing that the war was over, Yin? He immediately summoned the army back to the capital.
The commander of the fifth month, E'ertai, and his deputy, Yun Zhen, returned in triumph.
Yin? He heavily rewarded the meritorious officials, but at the same time stripped Yun Zhen of his military power. He was still wary of his younger brother. He conferred him the title of Prince He Shuoqian, but didn't mention anything else.
The title of Prince wasn't bad, but based on the situation, he didn't intend to give other official positions. Everyone silently bowed their heads, not daring to speak. Even though E'ertai had interacted with Yun Zhen during this time and admired his talent, he understood the Emperor's thoughts. He could only suppress the thought of interceding.
Yikun Palace.
"Your Majesty is smiling all the time today. You must be happy about something."
Yin? It was rare for him to come over these few months. Siyang gave him enough face.
"Yao'er still saw through it." Yin was indeed very happy.
"Spiritual Master Yuan Miao … is truly a rare divine doctor." He sighed.
Siyang had a curious expression. She blinked and said, "I've heard of this spiritual master long ago, but I've never met him. It's said that his medical skills are amazing. He has prescribed medicine for all the sisters in the palace to nourish their bodies."
Speaking of Yin? He also realized that most of the imperial concubines in the harem had gone to see Spiritual Master Yuan Miao. Siyang was the only one who hadn't.
However, there was no need to think too much. Yin knew what those imperial concubines wanted.
"Yao'er, if you feel unwell, you can also go see Spiritual Master Yuan Miao."
"Consort Xi found Spiritual Master Yuan Miao to treat Fourth Elder Brother. I feel that it's enough to find an imperial physician for my minor ailments. Since Your Majesty said he's a divine doctor, I naturally shouldn't disturb him for no reason."
"Oh, Yao'er's words make sense." Yin nodded. "Being disturbed all the time will indeed disturb Spiritual Master Yuan Miao's meditation."
A few days after this conversation, Yin? He ordered that the imperial concubines in the harem were not allowed to disturb Spiritual Master Yuan Miao. Only the Emperor had the right to do so.
This time, the imperial concubines in the harem who were well-informed knew that the Emperor had only gone to Yikun Palace to give the order. They gnashed their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
Among the imperial concubines, no one could shake the position of Imperial Consort for the time being.
"If she has the time, then she should take care of her two sons."
In the Everlasting Palace, the Empress was very unhappy when she heard the news.
When Spiritual Master Yuan Miao, this divine doctor, appeared, Ulanara didn't think much of it. However, when she heard that the other imperial concubines' hidden ailments were getting better, she found the divine doctor to treat her body and see if she could have another child.
After hearing this, Ulanara also had an idea.
She was the Empress, incomparably honorable. However, she didn't have a son. No matter how honorable she was, it wasn't that she didn't try hard after her eldest elder brother died, but it didn't end well.
Hearing that the divine doctor was really a divine doctor, the Empress originally wanted to secretly find him. After all, she was already so old, and it wouldn't be good if word got out. However, this time, with Siyang stirring things up, there was no way to do it secretly.
After thinking for a while, Ulanara slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted, "Come!"
"Go to the Yangxin Palace and find the Emperor. You must invite the Emperor to the Everlasting Palace tonight. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
She had to hurry. Consort Qi, that b * tch, was very arrogant these days. Wasn't it because her third elder brother was appreciated by the Emperor? If her eldest elder brother was here, how could these people be so arrogant? There was no room for negotiation.
"The Emperor has been in the Empress' Everlasting Palace these days."
Siyang took an afternoon nap. After getting up, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and let Xiang Lan comb her hair. The master and servant were leisurely chatting about the palace.
"It seems that the Emperor is still very interested in the legitimate son."
Yin? His thoughts were easy to guess. If there was a child he liked the most, it would be the eldest elder brother he had with Ulanara. However, that child had a short life. Later on, Hongli showed that he was very intelligent, and he was very satisfied. However, Hongli was also useless now. Hongshi had grown up, but he wasn't the person he liked.
The two little ones by Hongzhou and Siyang's side probably hadn't been Yin yet. He took it to heart.
Now, if he could really have a child with Ulanara, he would probably be willing.
Not to mention this, after the rebellion in Qinghai was quelled, Yin? He further consolidated the military power in his hands. For the time being, the external threat was temporarily removed. He also used many internal methods to consolidate his imperial power.
This was mainly reflected in the fact that he continued to impose restrictions on his brothers who had failed in the fight for the throne. Yin? On the road to the throne, the biggest threat came from Prince Lian, Yun Si. After ascending the throne, in order to calm the people, he didn't immediately make a move on Yun Si.
However, he slowly began to remove Yun Si's right-hand men. Yun? He was sent to guard the mausoleum. Then, Commandery Prince Dun was imprisoned. After a series of demotions, Yin? He was finally ready to make a move on Yun Si, who was both a brother and a rival.
But at the same time that he attacked Yun Si, he also encircled Yun Zhen once again.
Kangxi's Zigong was already buried in the Zunhua Imperial Mausoleum. Yun Zhen was imprisoned, so he was imprisoned in the Emperor of Longevity Palace on Mount Jing.
The reason given was that he was arrogant and domineering. He condoned the people in his residence and harassed the people. At the same time, he added crimes. When the rebellion in Qinghai was quelled, he actually let Luo Bucang Danjin and Ce Wang Rabutan both escape.
Come on, Yin? He was clearly looking for trouble. When the army returned to the capital in triumph, he restrained himself and did not act out because Yun Zhen had made a meritorious contribution. Now that there was a period of time to make up for it, no one would dare to say anything if he tried to make things difficult for Yun Zhen now. After all, he and Prince Shuo Qian had already been rewarded.
Yin? There was still no way to let Yun Zhen go.
The Empress Dowager fell ill again.
After learning that Prince Shuoqian Yun Zhen was imprisoned in the Emperor of Longevity Palace, she couldn't suppress her anger and directly ran to Yin? They argued in front of her. It wasn't easy for the mother and son to recover a little bit of their mother-son relationship in the past two years, but it was all squandered in an instant.
The mother and son quarreled, and the Empress Dowager asked Yin? She let Yun Zhen go, but Yin, who had already given the order, refused to agree. He gave the order and had no intention of changing it. This made the Empress Dowager even more furious.
Yin? His throne had been secured, and the Empress Dowager couldn't do anything to him. When she returned to Yonghe Palace, she fell ill in anger. After hearing the news, Siyang felt that the Empress Dowager wanted to use filial piety to suppress Yin.
If she could really suppress it, Wuya would have almost died of illness back then. Yin? Since Yin didn't mean to let Yun Zhen out, there was no need to compromise easily this time.
The Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and the Emperor was busy with political affairs. The concubines in the harem naturally had to help fulfill their filial piety.
The Empress should have taken the lead, but the Empress was not feeling well these days, so it was Siyang's turn to go to Yonghe Palace.
In fact, Siyang suspected that the Empress's poor health was fake. She was probably preparing for pregnancy in the palace, so she said these evasive words.
"Empress Dowager, you're still too impatient. Why did you argue with the Emperor? Look at it now, it can't be resolved."
Yin? The Empress Dowager didn't get along with Yun Zhen. In addition to standing on opposite sides in the fight for the throne, the Empress Dowager, Concubine De, gave the two sons unequal feelings.
It was Yin who was unequal.
The narrow-minded Emperor had always kept this in mind.
Now Wuya was throwing a tantrum with him because of Yun Zhen. It would be strange if he was happy.
"Ahem …"
Wuya was really ill this time. As long as she thought of what her eldest son did to her youngest son, she was angry and angry. At this moment, she looked at Siyang, who was sitting by the bed, and stared at her, "You, you said …"
"Hey." Siyang interrupted Wu Ya's words, "Empress Dowager, you can't put the blame on me. Fourteenth Master was indeed released, but who asked His Majesty to always suspect him? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for causing the two sons to be at odds with each other. Now they are like fire and water. It's your fault after all."
Wuya stopped talking. Her vision became blurry, and there was a look of reminiscence on her face.
"Yes, Yin came back to me at that time. If it weren't for the pit in my heart … I wouldn't have fallen into this situation today … "
Tears flowed from Wuya's eyes.
"Empress Dowager." The old maid beside Wuya hugged her and comforted her, "You also suffered. If it weren't for Tong Jiajia who insisted on fighting with you for the Emperor, how could you …"
"It's all a sin." Wuya closed her eyes and tears flowed down uncontrollably. She only felt heartache.
Siyang looked at her and shook her head silently. It was indeed a sin.
After crying for a while, Wuya suddenly broke free from the old maid and stared at Siyang.
"You have a way, right?"
"Huh?" Siyang raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Why do you say so, Empress Dowager? I don't have such a great ability."
"I can give you whatever you want, as long as …" Wuya choked and took a breath, "As long as my fourteenth master can be well."
"Alas, Empress Dowager is a kind mother. I understand, but I really can't save the fourteenth master. Since the Emperor has imprisoned him twice, it shows that he has made up his mind. No one can do anything about it." Siyang's face was full of helplessness.
How could Wuya not know? But she was afraid that if she didn't think of a way, once she passed away, her youngest son would really be imprisoned by her eldest son for the rest of his life. If she died, Yin? He would be even more fearless.
"Empress Dowager, in fact, I'm just telling you frankly." Looking away from Wuya, Siyang sneered, "As long as the Emperor is on the throne, he won't let the fourteenth master go."
"Won't let him go …" Wuya, who was sitting on the bed, was defeated. Her eyes were empty and she murmured sadly.
"If …"
"If what?" Wuya looked at her sharply and eagerly.
Instead of answering immediately, Siyang got up and sat on the edge of the bed. She raised her hand and straightened the pillow behind Wuya. When she got close, she put her lips near her ear.
"If … a new Emperor ascends the throne, of course, he can pardon the world …"
The message of this sentence stunned Wuya.
Siyang raised the corner of her mouth and left without saying anything.
"You, you are so rebellious …" Pointing at Siyang, Wuya was speechless for a moment. She always knew that Siyang was ambitious, but she didn't expect her to have such an idea.
Straightening up, Siyang looked at Wuya coldly, "Empress Dowager, you are wrong. It is you who wants to save the fourteenth master. I am just giving you a possible way. Now, in the inner court of the palace, I am the Imperial Concubine and have two brothers. In the future, you only need to … Haha, I don't know if the fourteenth master will be released one day."
At this point, it was up to the Empress Dowager to choose. She could only choose one of the two sons.
The current situation could be planned slowly, but the obstacles were troublesome and eyesores. It was best to get rid of them once and for all.
The harem quieted down. The Empress Dowager's illness was getting worse. After the imperial physician saw her, there was no improvement. Yin was sent over to the Empress Dowager. Although the medicine didn't cure her, her condition stabilized. This time, the doctor was praised again.
Yin? They were not stingy with their rewards.
At the same time, news came from Jingren Palace that Imperial Concubine Xi was pregnant.
Imperial Concubine Xi's stomach hadn't been pregnant for many years. After being nursed by the doctor, she was pregnant. This caused an uproar among the concubines.
However, the one who felt the most upset was Empress Wuya.
She wanted to have another child, so she specially told the Emperor about it and asked the doctor to take care of her. She didn't expect that there would be news of Imperial Concubine Xi when she had been taking the medicine.
Jingren Palace was jubilant these days. It was different from the gloomy atmosphere when Fourth Elder Brother broke his leg. The joy on Empress Dowager's face couldn't be concealed.
"Empress Dowager, these are freshly pickled plums. Try it. They are very sour." A palace maid brought over a stack of candied plums.
Empress Dowager smiled and put a piece in her mouth.
"It's said that sour boys and spicy girls. Empress Dowager likes sour food so much. It must be because of Little Elder Brother." The person beside her flattered.
Empress Dowager frowned slightly. After eating two pieces of plums, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said lightly, "I like the taste of these plums."
"Oh right, keep an eye on the palace these days." Empress Dowager attached great importance to her pregnancy. She was worried that someone wouldn't want to see her.
"Empress Dowager, don't worry. I will keep an eye on everything in the palace." Her confidant beside her promised.
"That's the best." Empress Dowager's eyes were full of pride as she stroked her belly that wasn't showing yet.
After waiting patiently for a few days, Siyang finally got the answer she wanted from Yonghe Palace.
"Tsk, it's been hard on the Empress Dowager. No matter what, it's still from her."
"Why must Master help the Empress Dowager?" Xiang Lan saw it clearly. "Even if we plan it ourselves, it's still easy."
"You don't understand." Siyang shook her head lightly. "The Manchus of the Great Qing Dynasty all have their eyes on the top of their heads. They think that they are better than others. What a headache. It's better to pave the way for them now. "
"Is that so?" Xiang Lan seemed to understand.
Siyang looked at her with a smile and didn't explain further.
"Then, then Imperial Concubine Xi …"
"If she's pregnant, then so be it. Let's wait and see first. Maybe someone can't sit still anymore."
Siyang hadn't spoken for a few days when something happened in Jingren Palace.
While taking a stroll in the small courtyard of her palace, Madam Niubalu sprained her ankle in a small pit and almost fell. Although she was caught in time, her fetus was affected. Lying on the bed, she immediately thought of a conspiracy and thought that someone had framed her. She interrogated everyone in her Jingren Palace.
