Kangxi's eyes instantly turned red. He felt sorry for his unborn child and hated the queen for being so cruel. If Yonghe Palace had not been protected by people he arranged, would Mu Sili have also been killed by her?

"You jealous woman, take a good look at this for me. What is this? I had full confidence in you before I saw the evidence, but how did you repay me? It's all true, it's all true!"

The queen had become very calm at this time. She knew that all her calculations had become empty talk. Since she had been exposed, there was no need to continue pretending.

"If the Emperor was willing to give me a child, why would I do such wrong things? Ultimately, all of this is caused by you. It's a pity that I didn't get to see the miscarriage of the child in Lady Ding's womb."

"You actually wanted to harm her child. She has never done anything to hurt you and is very respectful to you. How could you have the heart to do that?"

"Just because she is your exclusive favorite and the only one who is pregnant, that's the reason I want to destroy her. How can they have what I don't have?

I don't want to do this, and I hate myself looking like this, but this is the reality. The more you don't want something to happen, the more it will happen. You can't escape it or avoid it.

Do you think I regret it? Yes, I do, but what I regret is that I didn't kill the Crown Prince on the day Empress Yuan gave birth.

If you don't have a crown prince, you won't have a legitimate son. Since you don't have a legitimate son, you will definitely give me a child.

You know what, after thinking about it this way, I realized that everything I did before was false. I have nothing except the title of queen."

Anyway, Kangxi has already known what she did. If nothing unexpected happens, she won't live for a few more days. Since she won't live long, she naturally needs to make herself more comfortable.

It can be said that her current retribution was caused by her being too soft-hearted. Just as she said, if the Queen Yuan had not given birth to the prince smoothly, but had killed two people, she might have had her own child.

Kangxi's words about respecting her as the queen were all to fool her. His purpose was to make her help the prince. But the prince was not her child, so why should she protect him?

But if she is not good, the other concubines cannot be good either, especially Concubine Tong. I guess she already thinks she can become the next queen, right?

What a pity! How could she possibly let her become the empress? If someone who didn't even know how long she could live sat on the throne of empress, wouldn't that make Kangxi bear the reputation of being a wife-killer?

After all, she was a famous and virtuous queen, so how could she let Kangxi bear such a crime?

"Your Majesty, I did something wrong, but I also did one thing very well, for example, I helped you maintain your reputation. If I died, would you be labeled as a wife-killer?

I am not begging for mercy on my own behalf, but I hope you can consider my words. Since I have done something wrong, I deserve death. However, after my death, you will definitely be branded as a wife-killer.

I know you've always wanted Concubine Tong to become the Queen. If I hadn't been capable, I wouldn't have been able to take the position. But Concubine Tong isn't in good health. If I had become the Queen...

I know that you will think that I am selfish when I say this, but I am doing this for your own good. Even if I do bad things, my true feelings for you will never change.

If you make Concubine Tong your empress after I'm gone, how long can she stay in that position, considering her frail body? If something happens to her, your reputation as a wife-killer will be solidified."

At this moment, Concubine Tong didn't care about whether she was the queen or not. She only knew that she was definitely being plotted against, and she didn't want to go any further.

They are all old people who have been in the palace for many years, and they still know her thoughts. As expected, the women in the harem are not simple.

"Your Majesty, I did have thoughts about the position of Empress before, but I did not absolutely want that position. The Empress herself is vicious and thinks everyone is like her, which I do not think is appropriate.

Although she knew she was wrong, who knew how much truth there was in what she had just said? I never thought the Queen was a simple person. She just said that to make you suspicious of me and ruin my chances of climbing up the ladder.

I am weak and cannot bear the position of queen. If something happens to me behind the upper left position, not to mention others, even you will think it is my fault.

The relationship between you and me is not only that of a monarch and his subject, but also that of a family member. How could I allow myself to do something that would undermine your majesty?

The Queen's words are meant to sow discord between you and me. Your Majesty, please understand. I have absolutely no second thoughts, and I dare not have any. I only wish you well."

The queen watched her performance coldly. She didn't believe that she had no improper desires for the position of queen. Since she entered the palace, she must have longed for the position of queen. The reason she said this was probably to make Kangxi sympathize with her.

As expected of a member of the Tong family, she was able to sit on the throne of a noble concubine despite her weak health. If she had been in good health, she might not have been able to sit on the throne of the queen.

"You're right, you really don't dare to have second thoughts, but who can guarantee that the Tong family doesn't have second thoughts? After all, the Tong family is the queen's mother's family, so it's normal to have such thoughts.

Your Majesty, I know that I have committed serious sins, but I still want to ask you for one favor. This is my own idea. Please do not implicate the Niuhulu clan.

They are unaware of what I have done, and they are innocent. You can reduce their power, but please spare their lives."

Kangxi almost laughed out loud after hearing her words. What did she mean? Did she think that if she said a few words, she would release the people of Niuhulu's clan? It was a pipe dream.

If he really pardoned the punishment of the Niohuru clan because of her few words, then what was he talking about fairness and what was he talking about being a famous king throughout history?

Oh, I almost forgot, the Empress Yuan is not a good person either, and the same goes for the concubines in the harem, none of them are good people.

It would be fine if they just competed for his favor on a daily basis, but they actually dared to attack his offspring. Did they really think they could hide it well?

If the Empress could find out, surely the Empress Mam could find out too? No wonder the Empress Mam was very unhappy when she mentioned Empress Yuan later. This was probably the reason.

It's really ridiculous. He's the king of a country, but he doesn't even know the personality of the person next to him, and those concubines, forget it...

No wonder they say that every wrong has its perpetrator, and Empress Yuan has paid for her sins. It is impossible for her to kill so many people just for a dead person.
