"Oh? In this palace, who can boss around a palace head maid?!"
Just as Shunzhi was about to say something, the Empress Dowager, who had received the message, arrived.
Bo Wengkuo followed behind, the little girl also looking shocked, angry and anxious.
The Empress Dowager and her servants first looked at Sherry.
Seeing her calm demeanor and oblivious expression as she ate the fruit, the Empress Dowager felt a tightness in her chest.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but glance at Su Ma La Gu again, whose expression was also somewhat complicated.
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, and considering that the jadeite was originally his, Shunzhi was deeply moved.
The master and servant, both feeling guilty, changed their expressions.
After bowing to the Empress Dowager, Shirley continued to sit there and slowly eat her food.
The Empress Dowager decided to ignore it and shifted her gaze to Aunt Jade, who was kneeling in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"
Jade Aunt displayed an unyielding and resolute attitude.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Bo Weng, who was standing next to Sherry, became unhappy.
"Aunt Jade is quite the loyal servant, daring to disregard even the Empress!"
In a fit of anger, the little girl went up and kicked Aunt Jade.
Aunt Jade lay half-reclined on the ground, still looking completely bewildered.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Once he realized what was happening, Shunzhi glared at Bo Wengkuo, then glanced at the Empress Dowager and let out a cold laugh.
"Does this mean I'm dead?"
"So you're saying I'm dead?!" Sherry stared straight at Shunzhi.
Shunzhi felt a bit stifled, and his eyes were filled with frost as he looked at Xue Li.
"Alright, Bowengkuo, as a concubine, you still need to pay attention to the rules!" The Empress Dowager gave Bowengkuo and Xue Li a stern rebuke, then looked at Shunzhi. "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise, even I, the Empress Dowager, will find it difficult to sleep soundly."
Shunzhi's expression softened slightly, and he stared at Aunt Jade, lost in thought.
Bo Wengkuo looked at the emperor's attitude and his eyes turned red with anger.
Sherry gently patted her hand.
"Then I'll trouble Your Majesty to send a royal physician to examine my pulse! If my health is truly failing, then we can arrange for someone more suitable for His Majesty."
As Shirley spoke to the Empress Dowager, she stared at Shunzhi with a half-smile in her eyes.
Shunzhi's expression suddenly changed, then softened as he spoke gently to Xue Li, "We are still young, perhaps our time has not yet come! I have the Empress in my heart, and I cannot let go of anyone else! The Empress is more to my liking than anyone else! Guards, seize Fei Cui and Chun Tao, and interrogate them thoroughly!"
"Yes!" Ao Bai bowed and replied, then ordered his men to gag Aunt Jade and drag her away.
The Empress Dowager had long suspected Shunzhi.
After all, she was in charge of the palace.
Her eyes are more than many.
She had known about the jade's origins for a long time.
Seeing that the emperor and empress got along quite well, they didn't dare to think too much about it.
However, perhaps it was the emperor's cold reaction that provoked the empress.
In a short while, the Empress realized what was happening.
The Empress Dowager was both happy and conflicted.
Seeing the emperor's two faces, the empress dowager felt a pang of unease.
This is?
They're not giving us any hope at all?
Even after the previous empress was deposed, Shunzhi rarely visited her.
Meanwhile, Shunzhi was visiting Sherry frequently, but unexpectedly, he actually took action directly at the source!
But if word got out that the emperor had drugged the empress, it would be an even bigger laughingstock!
The Empress Dowager stared blankly at the Emperor, appearing to have aged considerably in an instant.
She knew the emperor was against the Mongol concubines, and even against her, but she never imagined he would go this far!
Emperor Shunzhi had spent half his life strategizing with his mother, and he understood that this matter had been exposed.
