Bumbutai wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his eyes and tried every means to coax him into drinking the medicine.
Bumbutai was ill for half a month, but she made up her mind.
He sent a letter urging Sherry to get married sooner rather than later.
The initially arrogant Shunzhi Emperor may have realized his current situation and was willing to get married as soon as possible.
But Sherry didn't want to. In history, he had been giving the original owner the silent treatment both before and after marriage. Shouldn't they reciprocate?
When Bumbutai saw her brother's reply, she was so angry she almost fainted. It was full of promises again.
Wu Keshan wasn't unwilling at all; he felt it was a powerful alliance.
But when I think of Sherry's dream, I feel that some things shouldn't be rushed.
Logically, he should be at ease with his own sister, but he knows Bumbutai too well.
Whether it's patience, endurance, or ruthlessness, Hailanzhu lost to her, and it's no wonder!
But he didn't want his daughter to suffer the same fate in the palace, since there were already quite a few noble Mongolian women in the palace.
But many of them disappeared inexplicably, constantly being sent away and dying, and not a single Mongolian concubine gave birth to a child or two.
Therefore, he couldn't believe Bumbutai's words at all.
He understood her situation, but at this moment, they were essentially checking and balancing each other.
What about the future?
Bumbutai was indifferent to his brother, let alone his niece.
Last time, Birtahar also mentioned to him that Shunzhi treated Bumba very perfunctorily.
They don't even have basic respect.
Thinking of this, Wu Keshan became even more dissatisfied.
It must be said that Bumbutai is truly flexible and eloquent.
Over the years, she has failed to deliver on any of her promises, which he finds ironic.
He had repeatedly promised to help Fulin fight for the throne, but now all that's left is a joke.
He received more from following Dorgon than his good sister gave him.
Mubumutai put on a good show, but he had nothing of substance to offer; he could only laugh at the rewards he received.
Do you think he's a frog in a well who's never seen the world?
After all, she didn't mention the traditional betrothal ceremony she had promised at all, and was eager to bring Bumba into the palace!
How will the powerful and wealthy view his daughter?
Wu Keshan angrily complained to the princess about Mubumutai, but when Xue Li saw Wu Keshan's reaction, she thought of the grand wedding in history.
The 14-year-old Emperor Shunzhi did not like his cousin and instead made excuses to delay, leaving the father and daughter to wait.
Unexpectedly, it dragged on for half a year, until autumn, and there was still no progress.
This seemed to foreshadow the bride-to-be's tragic fate.
At that time, Wu Keshan was also getting restless, not to mention the rumors circulating behind the scenes.
So, it's still interesting to be in power, otherwise why would Bumbutai have such a strained relationship with her son in the later years?
Even later, Emperor Shunzhi erected an iron plaque in the Hall of Union and Harmony, partly to prevent the tragedies of the previous dynasty from interfering in politics, and partly to remind the Empress Dowager that the inner palace should not interfere in politics!
In early December of the 7th year of the Shunzhi reign (1650), Dorgon accidentally fell off his horse while out hunting.
The patient's condition is critical! Undercurrents are stirring among the court officials.
Dorgon was in excruciating pain from his knees to his legs, but he had no choice but to agree to the new treatment recommended by the imperial physician.
Just as he was about to try, his younger brother Dodo, who rushed over, sternly refused.
Finally, they simply crippled the imperial physician's leg and made him use himself as a test subject.
"Imperial Physician Wang, if the new treatment cures your leg, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold; but if it fails..."
Dodo instinctively felt something was wrong; this scoundrel dared to risk his brother's body.
"Your Highness, I'm innocent! There's no other way!"
The imperial physician was dragged out, crying and screaming.
Dorgon swallowed the words that were about to come out; he knew his brother's feelings.
I understand now that the real problem with my body isn't with that leg...
When Dodo saw his brother's haggard appearance, he burst into tears.
Dorgon rubbed his bald head and smiled, his face sallow and his lips chapped.
"Ah Hun, you must get better. They're all eyeing our sacrificial wine!" Dodo said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't be afraid, Ahun is alright!" Dorgon's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes held a meaningful look. "Go, find Wu Keshan, and ask for the kind of pill you took!"
Dodo looked suddenly enlightened, his eyes gleaming with immense joy. He nodded in agreement and strode into the night.
Dorgon gazed silently into the void, gradually falling into a deep sleep.
Emperor Shunzhi also arranged for imperial physicians to treat his father.
Whether they wanted to take advantage of the chaos or find out the truth, the Shunzhi faction knew best.
Bumbutai also devoted herself to Buddhist worship and prayer. As for what she was asking for, the Empress Dowager and her servant knew better than anyone.
It was at this time that Dorgon strangely felt that Wu Keshan could save him.
If he doesn't want to, ha!
Dorgon endured more than ten days of hardship, becoming emaciated.
Dodo rushed back, and Wu Keshan followed him in, panting, and presented him with the jade bottle.
Dodo couldn't wait to pour one, but when he poured the second one, Wu Keshan grabbed his arm.
"One, one, just one will do!"
Dodo glanced at it, then quickly fed the pill to Dorgon.
I also took the jade bottle: "I'll have someone make another one based on this! I'll return it soon, Your Highness, you can rest assured!"
Wu Keshan was stunned for a moment: "This is a gift from the gods! There is another one reserved for our Bumba."
Dorgon took the elixir and instantly felt incredibly comfortable and lightheaded.
He glanced at Dodo and gestured for the bottle to be returned to the owner.
Dodo was somewhat reluctant, but he returned it anyway.
Wu Keshan's serious face was full of displeasure. He wouldn't have brought it like this if he wasn't afraid of losing the efficacy of the medicine by changing the bottle.
If it weren't for his daughter's dream, the will of the gods, he wouldn't have given it to his brothers.
They're truly heartless; I don't want to leave them a single grain.
Wu Keshan, his face dark, stuffed the jade bottle into his clothes. Duoduo stared speechlessly at the bulge protruding from Wu Keshan's large belly.
Wu Keshan rested for two days and went back. Dorgon's life was saved. Why wouldn't he leave?
This outbreak of illness came on suddenly and fiercely; Dorgon himself knew how poor his health was.
Even so, receiving messages from various families in the capital almost made him laugh in anger.
Did he disappoint them?
Even so, Dorgon still did not relinquish power.
After resting for a month, he reappeared at the grand court assembly.
Emperor Shunzhi almost lost his composure, stiffly walking down and smiling as he asked his father about his health.
Dorgon just took it all without a second thought.
The air suddenly fell silent, and the assembled officials remained as still as chickens. Emperor Shunzhi clenched his fists and continued the grand court assembly.
Soon after, Emperor Shunzhi took the initiative to approach the Empress Dowager, expressing his desire to marry her.
Both mother and son understood each other's meaning, even after learning that Dorgon was safe and sound.
Bumbutai had already begun preparations.
Dorgon didn't say anything when he found out. He knew his own health, and the Qing Dynasty was already on the right track.
