Chapter 9 The Empress Dowager's Wrath
Many people are destined to be unable to sleep peacefully this night.
The news that the Empress had gone through a miscarriage naturally reached the ears of the other masters.
At this time, although there were few people in Kangxi's harem, it did not mean that there was only the Empress; there were several other concubines and mistresses.
Consort Niohuru also came over. Not only that, but several concubines, including Lady Magiya, Lady Nara, and Lady Zhang, also came. They all had children, so they were considered half-mistresses because of their offspring.
It's normal for him to come and attend to the Empress when she is ill.
With the Empress still asleep, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the Kunning Palace.
The side hall was not far from here, so the commotion could not be kept secret. The Empress Dowager personally sent Niohuru and the others away, then her eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Investigate for me. I want to see who dares to harm His Majesty's health."
Several hours have passed and the emperor still hasn't stopped. What else could it be but a scheme?
After settling the Empress in, she personally led her men to the side hall and ordered, "Get out of the way."
Seeing Wei Zhong blocking the door, the Empress Dowager pushed him aside without saying a word, saying, "I want to see who dares to plot against the Emperor." She then rushed in with her servants and Imperial Physician Wang.
Wei Zhong cried out in pain and got up immediately to follow.
Inside the room, a thick, smoky atmosphere filled the air, and the smell was nauseating.
"Go, separate the two of them. Imperial Physician Wang, go and see if the Emperor has taken the medicine."
"Su Ma, go and see for yourself if there's anything wrong with that slut."
The Empress Dowager's actions are truly extraordinary.
The truth was quickly uncovered.
What she didn't expect was that this matter was actually related to one of Nara's concubines.
"How dare she scheme against the emperor! She's really tired of living. Take Nara to Cining Palace. I want to see how many heads she has."
Seeing the emperor unconscious from being pricked unconscious by the imperial physician Wang with needles, the Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said, "Wei Zhong, take your master back to the Qianqing Palace. Your matter will be dealt with after your master wakes up."
Don't stay in Kunning to serve the Empress. If the prince in her womb is lost, who knows how crazy the Empress will go.
There's never a moment of peace, not even from morning till night.
"Yes, this servant thanks the Empress Dowager for sparing my life." Wei Zhong was also terrified. He had failed to protect his master. If anything had really happened to his master, he would have been guilty beyond redemption.
Emperor Kangxi was carried back to the Qianqing Palace. Not only that, all the imperial physicians on duty at the Imperial Medical Academy were also invited to the Qianqing Palace.
The Empress Dowager was left alone to guard the Empress's residence.
The Empress Dowager was still very young at the time, and she did not know much about her aunt's affairs, but she knew that ever since Sony died, her aunt had harbored resentment towards the Empress.
If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor had a concubine named Suo'etu who caught his eye, the Empress would probably have had to be replaced.
well.
She was a pitiful girl.
Looking at the pale-faced person on the bed, the Empress Dowager felt pity.
"Silly child, who in this world can't be trusted? The only one you can trust is yourself. From now on, be more careful and don't be so honest."
The Empress Dowager spoke Mongolian, and none of the servants around her, except for those she brought with her, could understand her.
Fanghua, hiding in the space, could understand.
"Master, she was still a good one. Yinreng received a lot of protection from her. It's a pity that she was an empress dowager in name only."
Xiao Feng rarely showed a hint of kindness.
Fanghua felt very bitter. Her mother and the Empress Dowager were from the same clan, but unfortunately, the two branches were not close. She never expected that in the end, she would be the one protecting Yinreng in every way.
"Yes, I remember her kindness."
When she first entered the palace, she was young and spent a lot of time by the side of the Empress Dowager. At that time, the Empress Dowager was busy helping the Emperor stabilize the court, but the one who accompanied her the most was the Empress Dowager in front of her.
But she understood even more clearly that this person would never betray the Empress Dowager.
If she remembered correctly, a Mongolian concubine named Consort Hui would be entering the harem next year, and this was the Empress Dowager's own niece. In this way, she would be able to repay the kindness she had received.
"Master, how do you plan to report this?" Xiao Feng became interested. Could it help its master and then get its master to release it from the space?
Fanghua glanced at it, "Oh, do you have any good ideas?" This bird has such a small brain.
I wonder if she is the master of this space, and as a subordinate, her thoughts can be shared with the master?
Want to go out? No problem, grant its wish.
However, we need to find a good time. In the harem, even a single stone will attract countless people to investigate.
Not to mention it's such a clever bird.
"No." Xiao Feng felt wronged. It was a bird; what could it do?
"Alright, I'll take you out when I have the chance."
...Cining Palace...
"Speak, who gave you the audacity to plot against the Emperor?" From her high seat, the Empress Dowager glared fiercely at Nara, who was kneeling below, and the lowly maid who had previously slept with the Emperor in Kunning Palace.
The Empress Dowager was indeed the Empress Dowager; she investigated the matter thoroughly in just half a night.
The young palace maid, bewitched by Nara, used aphrodisiac incense on the emperor and also applied aphrodisiac powder to her body. Under this double effect, even the strongest-willed person could not resist.
Not to mention Emperor Kangxi, a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Although Emperor Kangxi reigned for eight years, he only indulged in marital relations for a short period of two years.
How could he withstand this double attack?
In addition, Fanghua secretly used some tricks, so it's fortunate that Kangxi wasn't deposed.
Unfortunately, Fanghua's scheme was ultimately foiled by the Empress Dowager.
She never imagined that the Empress Dowager would personally lead a group to break in and interrupt the Emperor's good time.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't be angry. There was still plenty of time, and she had plenty of ways to get back at him.
When Nara was brought to Cining Palace, she knew that the Empress Dowager had seen through her scheme, but she was not afraid. She had a get-out-of-jail-free card in her belly. As long as she didn't die, she would find a way to regain the Emperor's favor.
If it weren't for her family background and the support of the Empress Dowager, she wouldn't have become Empress.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong." Nara was a bold woman and immediately confessed her crime. "However, I only asked her to seduce the Emperor. Nothing else is my business."
But she was also clever and capable. She knew in advance about the Emperor's incessant night battle in Kunning Palace last night, so she took the blame for the minor offense and denied the serious one.
The palace maid had no way to deny it, because the concubine had indeed only given her one kind of medicine, and the perfume on her body was something she had bought herself at a high price from an old nanny in the palace.
I heard that the old woman was the one who served Lady Dong'e back then.
She escaped death because she was only a second-class steward back then, not a personal servant, which is why she survived.
As the person in charge, she naturally knows things that others don't, so it's not surprising that she has good things in her possession.
The Empress Dowager glared angrily and threw the teacup in her hand heavily at Nara. "How dare you! You even dare to scheme against the Emperor. If we let you continue like this, won't everyone in the harem follow your example?"
Teacups scattered, and some porcelain shards, propelled by gravity, directly slashed Nara's fair face, causing blood to flow freely.
