In her heart, they were just two unborn children. Even if they were already born, she would get rid of them without hesitation as long as Empress Xiaozhuang asked.
Just as Su Malagu arranged for people to attack Mu Sili, she was caught red-handed by Kangxi's men.
After all, he was an old man who had lived in the palace all his life. Even if he was captured, his spine was still straight.
"I am the maidservant of the Grand Empress Dowager and the head aunt of the Cining Palace. How dare you attack me?
If the Empress Dowager knew about this, she would probably use your entire family's names to vent her anger on me.
If you know what's best for you, please let me go. For your good sense, I will persuade the Empress Dowager to let you go."
Su Malagu was very calm. She felt that even the people from Kangxi's faction would not dare to argue with Xiaozhuang, so she did not care that she had been captured. Instead, she urged others to let her go.
"I am old, how can I still deceive you? The Empress Dowager is still waiting for me to return and serve her. If she knows that you are making things difficult for me, you will be in big trouble.
I advise you to let me go back immediately. Even if the emperor comes, he won't dare to arrest me directly. Are you trying to commit insubordination?"
Su Malagu's aura was so strong that even the guards holding her were a little scared.
"Aunt Suma, please come with me. The Emperor has been waiting for a long time. The Empress Dowager hasn't come out in such a long time. I think she has given up on you. Don't struggle anymore."
Su Malagu's face turned pale for a moment. She didn't think that Xiaozhuang would give up on her. After all, she knew all of Xiaozhuang's secrets, and it was impossible for Xiaozhuang to give up on her.
She suspected that Xiaozhuang was tripped by something, otherwise why didn't she come to save her?
"Someone, take him away."
Su Peisheng no longer paid attention to Su Malagu's attitude and took her directly to the Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi looked at Su Malagu with an unwilling expression, and there was no extra expression on his face.
"I call you Aunt Suma because you have been serving the Royal Mother. Do you think that just because I call you Auntie, you are my elder?
I can give you honor, and naturally I can also take it back. Tell me, what have you done for Royal Mam over the years?
You don't have to say it. Since I can catch you after playing with you, the Royal Mother has given up on you.
I remember that you have family in Khorchin, so I will be a bad guy and use your family to threaten and bribe you.
If you tell the truth, I will spare their lives. If you don't, you will meet in the underworld. I don't know if they will blame you for taking their lives."
"Your Majesty! I have watched you grow up. Without the support of the princess, how could you have taken the throne?
The princess simply values the crown prince as her legitimate son more and wants the eldest grandson to be born from the Yuqing Palace. She doesn't forbid the first wife from giving birth. Do you have to threaten me like this?
When you were little, I was the one who brought you up. Now that I'm old, do you really dislike me? Do you really want me and my entire family to be wiped out?
Your Majesty, the Crown Prince lost his mother at birth. I wonder how those princes have mocked him behind his back these years. If the First Consort gives birth to the Emperor's eldest grandson, have you ever thought about how difficult his situation would be?"
Kangxi's eyes flashed slightly. He made the prince the prince because he knew that he was in a difficult situation.
But the prince was arrogant and secretly coveted his position, so he lifted Yinzhi up to compete with him.
However, Yinzhi was more capable and put so much pressure on the prince that even Empress Xiaozhuang began to be wary of him.
Knowing how important twins are, she still decided to take action against them. He really didn't know whether Xiaozhuang was afraid of the rise of the Qing Dynasty or worried that the prince would be suppressed by Yinzhi.
"I want to know what the Emperor is planning, Aunt Suma. Are you sure you don't want to tell me? You should know that I have more tricks up my sleeve. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell me the truth."
However, Su Malagu firmly believed that Xiaozhuang would come to rescue her and refused to say anything. Kangxi was furious and directly asked Liang Jiugong to take the person away for interrogation.
"Liang Jiugong, no matter what method you use, I want to know what the Empress Dowager intends to do to the First Concubine and her unborn twins. Also, I want to know how the Empress Dowager passed away."
"yes."
Liang Jiugong took Su Malagu away. Half an hour later, Liang Jiugong came back with a heavy face.
"Your Majesty, I have made all the inquiries clearly."
Kangxi almost laughed when he heard this. He thought Su Malagu was very loyal to the Queen Mother, but it had not been so long and he actually sold her out.
"explain."
"The Empress Dowager ordered Aunt Suma to have the First Wife's pregnancy aborted, and then sent her to Mount Wutai, accused of being unable to protect auspicious signs."
"What else?"
Kangxi was displeased and left his words half-sentence, which only kept people in suspense.
"Your Majesty, there was indeed something fishy about the death of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. It was...it was the Grand Empress Dowager who deliberately poisoned her to protect the interests of the Ningshou Palace Empress Dowager."
"What!"
Kangxi sat dejectedly on the dragon throne. He really didn't expect that Empress Dowager Tong's death was caused by Xiaozhuang. The Empress Dowager was so kind and would not pose any threat to them at all. Why did they do that?
"what else?"
After Liang Jiugong told Kangxi all the results of his questions in half an hour, Kangxi waved him away.
After Kangxi pondered alone in the room for two hours, he called Liang Jiugong in.
"Su Malagu is already old. Considering her service to the Grand Empress Dowager, we have allowed her to retire in Jiangnan. We have sent someone to take good care of her and not to disappoint the Empress Dowager.
In addition, the Queen Mother is looking forward to the birth of my eldest grandson. This baby of the First Concubine is the reincarnation of an auspicious sign, so the First Concubine must be protected well.
Since the Empress Dowager likes Mount Wutai so much, she should go there to pray for the twins. After the First Concubine gives birth, the Empress Dowager should retire and enjoy her old age.
The expressionless look on Kangxi's face when he said this made Liang Jiugong a little worried. He had been serving Kangxi since he was a child, and he knew how difficult Kangxi's situation was at that time.
The death of Empress Dowager Tong was a huge blow to Kangxi. If it weren't for Empress Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager, he would not have survived until now.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Tong was killed by Empress Xiaozhuang. Not to mention Kangxi, even he, a servant, could not accept it.
It seems that Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Aunt Suma don't have much time left. If that's the case, he won't be nice to them anymore, because his master has always been only Kangxi.
Anyone who has any ill intentions towards Kangxi is his enemy.
In the Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang had no idea that Su Malagu had been taken away. She thought that the other party was arranging a way to abort the baby in Mu Sili's belly, so she never asked.
