With a heavy sigh, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang felt guilty towards her niece.
The marriage was arranged by her and Dorgon back then, and she never expected that Fulin and Mengguqing would turn out like this.
Both children were stubborn, and after getting married, they didn't act like a couple at all. They argued all the time, neither of them would back down, and in the end, it came to this point, which she was powerless to stop.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew very well that Meng Guqing's position as empress was doomed.
So after failing to stop it, she made a concession to her son: you can depose Mengguqing from the position of empress, but the successor must be a Borjigit from the Khorchin clan.
In exchange for favors, the Empress Dowager gave up her niece, but on the condition that the next empress would still be from the Khorchin.
Shunzhi was able to get his wish and dismiss the despised Meng Guqing. He also knew that his mother had made concessions to him. He thought that he was not yet powerful enough and could not push his mother too hard, so he agreed to the request.
He is the emperor, and he is still young. Sooner or later, he will be in charge of the country. If he can depose one empress, he can depose a second one.
So what if Empress Consort was from the Khorchin? He would depose these Mongol women sooner or later and make his beloved Wan Ning his empress.
This power struggle between the mother and son of the imperial family brought misery to the original owner of this body. As the daughter of a prince and a princess of the grasslands, she became a deposed empress and was moved to the Frost Moon Palace, which was like a cold palace, where she lost her freedom.
The original owner of this body died of illness in Frost Moon Palace. On the day she was deposed, she fainted and was diagnosed by the imperial physician as pregnant, but due to excessive emotional fluctuations, she miscarried.
The original owner of this body, already deeply affected, became depressed and her health deteriorated. She refused to bow her head and beg her aunt who had abandoned her.
The original owner of this body stayed in this Frost Moon Palace, listening to the news that Consort Dong'e became a Virtuous Consort, then an Imperial Noble Consort, gave birth to the fourth prince, and finally passed away.
She also knew that Consort Dong'e was posthumously honored as Empress Xiaoxian by Emperor Shunzhi, and that Emperor Shunzhi contracted smallpox and passed away after passing the throne to his third son, Xuan Ye.
In the eighteenth year of the Shunzhi Emperor's reign, the Shunzhi Emperor passed away in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In the same year, the original owner of the body, who had been supporting the body for a long time, died of illness in the Frost Moon Palace, ending her tragic life.
In this world, the first task assigned by the original Borjigit clan was to protect her child, but the second was not about Emperor Shunzhi or Consort Dong'e, but about returning to the Khorchin grasslands she longed for.
In the last few years of her life, the original owner of this body was filled with regret and longing. She regretted marrying Shunzhi and longed to return to the vast grasslands she had always dreamed of.
So Yunyi said she arrived late but not late, as she happened to have transmigrated on the very day the empress was deposed.
After waking up and figuring out the time, Yunyi immediately took a pregnancy-preserving pill to stabilize the pregnancy; otherwise, the mission would have ended before it even began.
Touching her belly, which wasn't showing yet, Yunyi already had a plan in mind.
The child will grow up safely and have everything he wants, and I will return to the place she wanted to go, according to the original owner's wishes.
Yunyi took a nap in the evening, but couldn't fall asleep at night. But it didn't matter. After the night was quiet, Yunyi pretended to be asleep, but her soul actually entered the system space.
Although she already had a vague plan, there were still some parts that needed improvement, and now was the perfect time to think things through.
This year marks the tenth year of the Shunzhi Emperor's reign. Xuan Ye's "mother," Lady Tongjia, had just entered the palace and should have been pregnant at this time.
After being deposed, Shunzhi was plotting how to seize his brother's wife, Dong Eshi, so that she could openly enter the palace as a concubine.
Having his wife stolen by his own brother, Bogor must have found it hard to swallow this insult.
Moreover, he died young at the age of fifteen. Yunyi didn't believe that Shunzhi hadn't done anything. Such a pitiful child, she would help him.
Thinking of her plan, Yunyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Although the original owner of this body hadn't said how to treat Shunzhi and Dong'e, Yunyi was not going to let them off the hook.
Yunyi had a sleepless night. She had planned everything out last night, so she had no worries and slept very well until dawn the next day.
The temperature is alright at night when there's no sun, but during the day it gets unbearably hot.
Because it is August now, one of the hottest months of the year, and the Forbidden City has few trees, it gets very hot in the summer.
After Yunyi got up in the morning, a palace maid who was fanning her never stopped.
The main reason is that she is currently pregnant and has just recovered from a serious illness, so the servants dare not let her use ice to cool down her body, and therefore they can only resort to this primitive method of cooling down.
Yunyi had no choice. She said she was fine, but no one believed her. She could only endure it and wait until September was over and autumn came and the Forbidden City got cold. She wasn't afraid of the cold, but she was afraid of the heat.
After a few leisurely days, the imperial physician came to check her pulse again. Yunyi had secretly taken care of herself and was in very good health, so the imperial physician said the same thing.
With the imperial physician's certification, Yunyi can use ice in small amounts, but not too much, as it will harm her health.
Accompanying the imperial physician was Su Mala Gu, who, on Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's orders, would visit Yunyi every three to five days.
Everyone present could hear what the imperial physician said. When Su Mala Gu learned that Yun Yi was in good health and that there was nothing wrong with the child in her womb, she was immediately relieved.
Meng Guqing is Gege's niece. Su Mala Gu felt heartbroken when she learned that Gege had abandoned Meng Guqing, but there was nothing she could do but watch.
Later, when Su Ma La Gu learned that Princess Meng Gu Qing had fainted and that the imperial physician had diagnosed her as pregnant, she was both happy and scared.
I am glad that Princess Mengguqing has a child by her side, so she will not be lonely in the days to come.
But I was also afraid, afraid that she might not be able to think straight because of the matter of being deposed as empress, and might get stuck in a rut.
Now that everything is alright, and both adults and children are safe, Su Ma La Gu can finally relax.
She accompanied her own princess through the birth of three daughters and one son. Although she herself had never been pregnant, Su Mala Gu still possessed a great deal of theoretical knowledge.
Yunyi used the excuse of asking about pregnancy to keep Sumalagu behind.
The imperial physician had already left, leaving only Yunyi, Wurina, Qimuge, and Sumalagu in the room.
While they were talking, Yunyi instructed her Muge to stick the loyalty talisman on Sumalagu.
Yunyi lives in Shuangyue Palace, the most remote place in the entire Forbidden City. She doesn't have many people at her disposal, so it's impossible for her to do anything she wants.
But Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was different. She was the Empress Dowager who once managed palace affairs and ruled from behind the curtain. In the entire palace, she had the most people and the deepest influence.
If Sumalagu is Yunyi's person, then it means she knows Xiaozhuang's movements and can also use Xiaozhuang's people.
