What was her plan? How could he, as the emperor, not know? But since she had indicated that he didn't need to come out, he might as well wait and see.
If she can't handle it, then she will go out and kill them by surprise.
Mu Sili leaned lazily to the side, then looked at Concubine Tong with a smile.
"Concubine Tong, if I remember correctly, you are a concubine, right? How could you have the guts to let me, the queen, watch over you while you give birth?
Even if you really need to go, it should be the Emperor. I will never grant you this favor."
"Your Majesty, what you said is not true. Didn't you just say that you would treat the Emperor's children equally? I gave birth to a child for the Emperor, and you going to see him would put my mind at ease."
"That's even more wrong. You can rest assured only when the Emperor is here. I don't want to be blamed if something goes wrong when we go to Jingren Palace.
After all, before I got married to the emperor, you, Concubine Tong, suggested that I change my palace to Jingyang Palace.
Everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows that Kunning Palace is where the Empress lives. You asked the Emperor to move me to another place. Are you planning to live in Kunning Palace yourself?
You have to think carefully, Kunning Palace is not a place where anyone can live, and the only people who live there are the empresses."
With a thud, Concubine Tong fell to her knees on the ground with a pale face.
Is the Queen mentally ill? How did she know that I had mentioned this to the Emperor? Could it be that the Emperor told her?
Yes, seeing how much the emperor favors her, it is understandable for him to tell her, but isn't she afraid of becoming the target of public criticism if she says it in public?
After all, she knew all the private conversations between the emperor and herself, so what about them? She must have known other things as well.
In this situation, isn't she afraid that everyone will gang up on her and she will lose her position as queen?
"Your Majesty, this is all a misunderstanding. I said this for your own good. After all, that was where Concubine Jing lived. She was deposed there, which means it has a bad meaning.
You came all the way from Khorchin to marry me, and I don't want you to be contaminated by such an unlucky place, so I suggested this to the emperor.
And you can go and have a look, Jingyang Palace is actually not bad, and the word "Yang" is very good. I am doing this for your own good, so please don't misunderstand me."
The concubines who were watching the show lowered their heads one after another. If they didn't know clearly that Jingyang Palace was the most deserted palace among the six east and west palaces, they would have believed it.
After hearing this, Concubine Gongjing smiled. Jingyang Palace is a good place. It would be great if the queen could move there.
But she had just offended Mu Sili, so she didn't dare to speak casually, otherwise no matter whether she said good or bad things, she would not believe it.
By then, she would definitely be in a difficult situation. Besides, Mu Sili was her enemy now, so why would she tell her all this?
It would be great if she really moved to Jingyang Palace, so that she wouldn't have to worry about me. Maybe she wouldn't have the time to take care of me by then.
However, she wanted to be mute, but Mu Sili did not give her this opportunity.
"Concubine Tong, do I look like a fool? Concubine Gongjing, please explain to Concubine Tong what Jingyang Palace is."
"ah?"
Concubine Gong Jing was confused. What did he mean? Why did he ask her to explain to her? She had been in the palace for some time. How could she not know what Jingyang Palace was?
"Why, you don't know?"
“I know…I know.”
"Then tell me."
Concubine Gong Jing was helpless. Mu Sili had said so, what else could she say? She could only honestly explain to Concubine Tong.
"I didn't know Concubine Tong was so bold. You don't know where Jingyang Palace is, right? It's okay, I'll tell you.
Jingyang Palace is the most deserted palace among the six east and west palaces. Although it is large in area and was once prosperous, it has been uninhabited for many years and has long lost its former glory.
The most important thing is, people in the Ming Palace all said privately that Jingyang Palace was a cold palace. Why did you suggest that the emperor turn it into the empress's bedroom?
Do you think you can rest easy just because you're pregnant? Kunning Palace is where the Empress lives, not a place you can covet.
Listen to my advice and honestly admit your mistakes to the Queen. Since you are pregnant, the Queen will not make things difficult for you."
"No, you're wrong. I will definitely make things difficult for her. If you try to trip me up, I'll be very unhappy."
Shunzhi found it funny when he heard this from behind, but he also felt that he should go out and make the decision for her. After all, she was his queen, and he should be the one to make the decision for her if she was wronged.
However, just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Wu Liangfu.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. Please think about how to explain it to Her Majesty later."
Shunzhi was speechless. Hadn't he opposed it at the time? Why did he need to explain? Could it be that opposing was wrong?
"The Queen is not a petty person. She will not quarrel with me over such a small matter. I only know that if I don't leave now, I won't be able to enter Kunning Palace tonight."
Without caring what Wu Liangfu said, Shunzhi walked out from behind the screen.
Concubine Tong, who originally wanted to explain that she didn't know what happened in Jingyang Palace, suddenly sat down on the ground, her face becoming paler. People who didn't know would probably think that Mu Sili bullied her.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please help me. I said those words so that Your Majesty would not harbor any resentment. I really didn't mean it. Please help me explain to Your Majesty.
Hiss! My stomach hurts a little. Your Majesty, please save me. I really didn’t mean it. Your Majesty, please believe me…”
As she was talking, she was about to faint. Tana immediately stepped forward and pressed her philtrum, forcing her to wake up.
You good dog slave, you hurt me to death! When the day comes that my mother becomes rich because of her son, I will use your blood to celebrate for my mother.
"Are you awake? I didn't do anything to you, so why are you like this when you see the emperor? I almost thought I did something shameful to you.
Your Majesty, you are really something. Didn’t we agree that I can handle it myself? Now that you are here, they will probably think that I did it on purpose.”
"I see they're getting more and more excessive. If you hadn't asked Concubine Gong Jing to explain, I'm afraid no one would have told you where Jingyang Palace is.
It was my fault that I forgot to introduce you to the six palaces. Since the harem is under your control, the decision on the treatment of Concubine Tong is also yours."
"Is what the Emperor said true? If so, then I think Jingyang Palace is a good place. Since Concubine Tong is so concerned about it, why not let her move there?"
"Okay, come here, pack up Concubine Tong's boxes and move her to Jingyang Palace today."
