However, Harigana felt quite pleased that Soetu was imprisoned, as he had previously read in history books that the famous Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed by him.

At that time, the affairs of the Dzungar Khanate and Tsarist Russia came together, and I forget the specific reason why that unequal treaty was signed.

In short, a great deal of territory was lost.

Now, because of her appearance, the butterfly's wings are flapping wildly.

The war between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty had already begun. She heard from Dulan that Dai Zi was among the troops going to war, and she felt that they would definitely win.

This would mean the Treaty of Nerchinsk would not exist, making the campaign against the Dzungar Khanate much easier.

The most important point is that she simply disliked Suo'etu. If it weren't for him, Yinreng might not have become a good-for-nothing and said those outrageous things later on.

In any case, since things ultimately turned out the way they are recorded in history, none of them can escape responsibility.

Isn't it said that during an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent?

The struggle for the throne among the nine princes involved not only the scheming of court officials and the vying among the princes, but also the indulgence and indifferent observation of the man before them.

However, history is written by the victors, and no one knows exactly what happened.

She had neither the ability to change history nor the intention to do so.

The best approach is to adapt to the times and let things develop naturally.

She's not God or the Virgin Mary, so where would she get so many ideals and ambitions?

"Jiaojiao, in the next life, I will definitely find you sooner and give you a complete version of myself."

Kangxi's words made Harigana blush. How could this man suddenly go off on a tangent?

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the next life."

After being cured, Emperor Kangxi carried Harigana out to review memorials as if he were a baby, and did not forget to ask Li Dequan to prepare a meal for him.

"By the way, Li Dequan, tell Dulan to tell the Empress Dowager not to leave her waiting in vain."

Harigana couldn't see Li Dequan; he was straddling Kangxi's lap with his waist tightly bound, and could only give instructions with his back to him.

"Yes! This servant obeys!"

Li Dequan's lips twitched. These two living ancestors really didn't treat him like an outsider anymore.

Luckily, he was a eunuch. If he were a normal man, he would go crazy watching the two of them being all lovey-dovey every day.

After leaving, he immediately instructed Dulan to go to the Empress Dowager's place, and then he himself went to the small kitchen to order the cooking.

At the entrance to the Imperial Study, only a young eunuch remained on duty, sighing helplessly as he watched the closed door and the two people walking away.

The news of Suo'etu's imprisonment spread like wildfire to everyone's ears.

Not to mention the other powerful families, even the women in the harem were shocked.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuqing Palace, wanting to see how the Crown Prince would react.

They sent people out to inquire about news from that side, only to find that all the palace servants who went out to inquire about the Crown Prince and Yuqing Palace never returned.

Once they realized what was happening, no one dared to act rashly again. They all closed the palace gates tightly, fearing that they would be implicated.

"Su Ma, go to the front and ask the Emperor to come over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Bumbutai never expected that Kangxi would act so quickly. Although he repeatedly assured her that he would not touch Yinreng's position as crown prince, she could no longer see through the current situation, and she had no information what had happened in the previous dynasty.

Her life now is not as good as that wretched Hailanzhu's when she was alive. Although she was only Consort Zhuang at the time, the news would definitely reach her first.

Now, she does everything by guessing, trying to predict the course of events based on the emperor's usual behavior.

The matter of the movable Suo'etu was of utmost importance. If not handled properly, it could cause turmoil in the court, and even damage Yinreng's reputation. She had no choice but to remind Kangxi.

"Yes! Your servant obeys!"

Sumalagu no longer tried to persuade the Empress Dowager. People learn from their mistakes, and the Empress Dowager became more and more resourceful with age.

It had only been a few days when the old problem flared up again.

"By the way, Su Ma, have you found out why Qiqige went to the Qianqing Palace today to take those two little ones back with her?"

Just as Sumalagu was about to turn around, she heard the Empress Dowager asking a question.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the people in the Qianqing Palace are very tight-lipped. All we know is that His Highness the Crown Prince went there before Your Majesty went to the Qianqing Palace. As for what happened inside, we have not yet found out."

Bumbutai's eyes flashed. Could it be that Baocheng caused trouble, and then that bitch was kicked out by the emperor?

But that doesn't make sense. Why would Qiqige get involved in this?

"Su Ma, has the Khorchin region contacted Qiqige recently? Or has Qiqige written to the Khorchin region to send any messages?"

She is now quite old, while Qiqige is still very young. If the forces on the Khorchin side are swayed by Qiqige's words, then everything she has done will become a joke.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty has not contacted the Khorchin."

Only after hearing that no contact had been made did Bumbutai feel relieved.

She waved her hand, telling her to go and invite Kangxi, while she herself leaned back on the soft pillows, closing her eyes and pondering the recent events.

Although it was just a little bit of information, she felt that things were definitely not simple and that it was right to take precautions in advance.

But she knew very little, so she could only call Kangxi over.

When Sumalagu arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the two of them had just finished eating.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Su Ma has arrived."

Upon hearing Li Dequan's message, Harigana's fish tasted bland.

It's that old hag again. Whenever something happens in the palace, she's always the first to rush to the front lines, more diligent than anyone else.

"Bring it in!"

Kangxi was still picking out fish bones, not even glancing at Li Dequan, for fear that he might carelessly drop a fish bone and get it stuck in his throat.

"Yes! Your servant obeys!"

Li Dequan withdrew, and soon after, he brought Su Mala Gu in.

"This servant greets Your Majesty and the Imperial Noble Consort!"

Harigana found Sumalagu quite agreeable, but what could he do when she was that old witch's woman?

"Get up, Aunt Su Ma. Does the Empress Dowager have something to say to me?"

Sumala sighed inwardly, wondering how the two of them had become so estranged.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager requests your presence, saying she has something to discuss with you."

Kangxi's expression didn't change at all, and his hands didn't stop moving until he had cleaned the fish. Only then did he raise his head and say, "Aunt Su Ma, I have lunch and still need to review memorials. I will go see the Empress Dowager later."

Harigana gave a small round of applause in her heart. Although it was a bit unethical of her to be hoping for a conflict between the grandmother and grandson, she was still happy.

As long as that old hag gets the short end of the stick, she can eat an extra two ounces of rice.

"What? Is there something else, Aunt Su Ma?"
