"Empress Mother, you may have forgotten that the power of the palace is now in the hands of my daughter-in-law. These people listen to my daughter-in-law and will no longer listen to your orders."

Xiaozhuang looked at the empress dowager as if she were a fool. She had only been in contact with the palace power for a few days, but she was so ignorant of her own limitations.

She didn't even think about it. If she didn't have her support behind the scenes, how could she, a queen dowager who was silent in the harem, convince others?

"I want to see how many people in the harem are on your side. Why, my words are no longer effective? No one has taken any action for such a long time. It seems that the Cining Palace needs to be cleaned up."

"The Empress Dowager has misunderstood. It's not that the servants didn't go to invite the Emperor, but that the Emperor has already arrived and is waiting outside the door."

Regardless of how Empress Xiaozhuang reacted when she heard the Empress Dowager outside the door, the Empress Dowager was frozen in place.

Kangxi is coming, who notified her, and why didn’t she know?

"I seem to have come at the wrong time. The Empress Dowager looked at me as if I were a ghost. Why does the Empress Dowager not want to see me?"

"No... no, I don't have that thought. Isn't the emperor busy with government affairs? How can he have time to come to the Cining Palace? I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first."

The Queen Mother wanted to leave in a hurry, but Kangxi did not give her a chance. Liang Jiugong had someone capture her when the Queen Mother moved.

"How dare you, Liang Jiugong, you dog slave! Do you want to die? Do you know that I am the Queen Mother? You actually had me kidnapped!"

The Queen Mother was furious. They really didn't take her seriously.

"Your Highness the Queen Mother has misunderstood. Of course I want to live, but my master is the Emperor, so I must obey his orders."

When Liang Jiugong mentioned Kangxi, the empress dowager instantly wilted. She knew that she was probably going to be in trouble this time, so she stopped resisting.

"My skills are inferior to others, and I admit my defeat. But I wonder if I can keep the filthy things the Empress Dowager has done hidden."

Xiaozhuang was furious. The Empress Dowager was slandering her. She didn't expect that at the last minute, she would be slandered by her daughter-in-law like this. It was over. Her head hurts!

"My head hurts so much, Su Ma, call the doctor!"

Xiaozhuang fainted with a dark face, and Kangxi was also angry. Although the empress dowager was the empress dowager, she was not his biological mother. If he had not received a little protection from the empress dowager when he ascended the throne, he would not respect her so much.

In addition, he yearned for the Manchus and the Han to be one family, and the image of a loving mother and a filial son was what the Han people wanted to see. So he became a filial son as everyone wished, but he didn't expect that the empress dowager was not worthy of his respect and love at all.

"Come, call the imperial physician, Liang Jiugong. You personally lead the troops to arrest the empress dowager and assign guards. I want to know what else the empress dowager has done to provoke the imperial mother to such rage that I am willing to turn against her."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will arrange it right away."

The Queen Mother wanted to argue a few more times, but as an old lady who had lived a life of luxury, she was no match for the young and strong man. She was taken down in a few moves, and the people who came with her were also taken down.

After the Queen Mother was taken into custody, she saw Tana who was also taken into custody. At that moment, her anger reached its peak.

"You lowly slave, I have treated you well, yet you dare to complain to me."

Tana looked at the Queen Mother sarcastically. Her words were really funny. If the Queen Mother didn't want to do something to her, how could she have gone to the Queen Mother to complain first?

"How dare you look at me with that expression? Don't you want to live? Have you forgotten that your family's lives are in my hands?"

Tana's expression relaxed a little, but she quickly calmed down. She believed that Su Malagu would protect her family more than the villain, the Queen Mother.

Indeed, after the Queen Mother learned that Tana had come to the Cining Palace, she immediately sent a message back to Korchin to kill Tana's family.

However, the letter was not sent out as it was intercepted by Kangxi's men. Even if a carrier pigeon was released in the palace, it would be hard to tell whether it could fly out.

"Your Highness, I have served you for many years and I still hope you can turn back.

The road ahead is too difficult and dangerous. I believe that if you can turn back, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will allow you to die in a dignified manner for the sake of the royal family."

This statement drove the Queen Mother mad. Why did she want to die? What did that bitch Tana say to Empress Xiaozhuang? Did she know that words can cause disaster?

"Tell me honestly, what did you say to the Empress Dowager? Why is she so angry?"

"Your Highness knows exactly what you did, so why ask me to tell you? If I die, you won't live either.

I feel it is worth it to have you accompany me on the road to the underworld. As for my family, I believe they are safe. After all, you are no match for the Grand Empress Dowager, and she will protect my family."

The Empress Dowager was really dumbfounded this time. She understood that Tana must have told Xiaozhuang about her murder of Shunzhi, otherwise she would not be so sure that she would die.

"How dare you tell the Empress Dowager that I murdered the late Emperor? If so, you can die first. As for me, with Abu and Eji here, the Empress Dowager will not touch me.

After all, I am related to the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Khorchin. If I am executed, Khorchin will rebel. The emperor is still young and cannot withstand such a blow."

The Empress Dowager was certain that Kangxi would not allow Khorchin and the Qing Dynasty to fight, so even though she was uneasy in her heart, she acted fearless.

She was born proud, so how could she allow herself to show a cowardly expression?

Seeing this, Tana stopped paying attention to her. At this time, she was more worried about her own life.

"Empress Dowager, I hope that after the Emperor knows that you have killed his father, you will still be so sure that you can survive."

The Queen Mother stared at Tana sinisterly. No matter what, she was determined to kill her.

In the Cining Palace, Empress Xiaozhuang's headache symptoms became more and more obvious, and the imperial physician was completely helpless. Just when he was at a loss, Mu Sili came over with Lingran.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

"Why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about? I'm busy now, so go back first. I'll come to Yikun Palace to find you after I'm done."

Kangxi was confused about the fact that Mu Sili came to the Cining Palace at this time. Does this woman know that the Cining Palace is now a place of right and wrong? She really doesn't take her body seriously!

"I'm not here to see the Emperor. I've been in the Cining Palace, feeling unwell and resting in the back hall. I heard the Empress Dowager had a severe headache, so I came to see her."

Only then did Kangxi realize that Mu Sili had not left the Cining Palace before. He didn't see her after he arrived and thought she had returned to the Yiku Palace. He was busy listening to the empress dowager's words at the time, so he subconsciously forgot to ask.

"Aunt Suma, do you have the pills I asked Lingran to bring you earlier?"
