"Don't worry, Gege. I won't mention the marriage again. It's my fault for making you think of those sad things."
"I know you are loyal to me. If you hadn't been by my side all these years, I would have collapsed long ago. I'm sorry for you. You don't have a close friend by your side."
"You are talking nonsense again. From the moment you rescued me in Khorchin, I swore that I would stay by your side for the rest of my life and help you solve your problems.
You think I don't have a close friend to accompany me, but I am not the only one who is very satisfied with my current life. I don't want to marry someone casually and spend the rest of my life with him.
These are not the main points. The main point is that if I really leave the palace and you stay alone in the Cining Palace, I will miss you.
Therefore, in order to prevent me from living in fear, please do not say these things in the future. I am happy to serve you."
Upon hearing this, Empress Xiaozhuang just patted her hands and said nothing. If it weren't for Su Malagu's dedication to planning for her over the years, she would probably not have been able to sit on the position of Empress Dowager.
It was said that she relied on Dorgon to successfully sit on the throne of Empress Dowager. She did not deny it. After all, it was Dorgon who made Fulin become emperor.
But they didn't know that Dorgon only helped her because he was attracted by her beauty. If she were uglier, Dorgon would never help her but would sit on the throne himself.
In the whole world, the only person who was truly devoted to her was Su Malagu, but because of this, Su Malagu's life would be ruined in the Qing harem.
In Jingren Palace, in order not to attract other people's attention, Concubine Tong planned to stay there until she gave birth before appearing in public.
"My child, my mother's future depends on you. I have done many bad things for you, and even drugged your father. You must do your best to live up to her expectations."
"My lady! You can't say that carelessly. Even though Jingyang Palace is remote, there are always people walking around. What if someone hears it?
You are now more than seven months pregnant and will give birth in two months. Nothing can go wrong at this time.
If nothing unexpected happens, this baby of yours will be a little prince. Even for the sake of the little prince's safety, you can never say these words again.
I don't think you're wrong. It's a good thing that you have expectations for the young prince, but walls have ears. You are a smart person and you should know the seriousness of this matter."
Concubine Tong was generally speechless and scared. She knew that the palace was unsafe everywhere, and the young lady didn't think about being careful with her words and actions, but why did she talk nonsense?
If this gets out, not only will her life be over, but the lives of her entire family will be over!
I don't know if my decision to follow her was a wrong one. It's too late to regret now. I can only try my best to bring her back to the right path.
There are still two months left before she gives birth. I think she will understand after she gives birth to my brother.
Concubine Tong was somewhat unhappy. Jingyang Palace was a remote place, and the fact that she was arranged here by Shunzhi proved that she had fallen out of favor.
Even if she was pregnant, and it was possible that she was pregnant with a prince, compared to the queen Mu Sili who was just pregnant with triplets, others would not pay too much attention to her.
Therefore, it didn't matter how much she said in Jingyang Palace to express her dissatisfaction with Shunzhi, because no one would complain to him, unless it was the maid in front of him who complained, otherwise Shunzhi would not know.
Now she has come to terms with things. Jingyang Palace is a good place. After her son was born, she thought she should stay in Jingyang Palace and not go out. She wants to train her son in secret.
Another thing is that Mu Sili is pregnant with an illegitimate child. When she is about to give birth, she will find a way to let Shunzhi know that he has been poisoned and cannot have children.
By then, even with Empress Xiaozhuang's protection, Mu Sili would definitely be deposed and beheaded by Emperor Kangxi in his rage.
By then, the position of queen will be vacant. In this situation, Xiaozhuang will not have the face to transfer someone from Khorchin to be the queen, so she will have a chance.
However, she was just a concubine, and it was probably not her turn to think about the position of queen. She could just wait for them to fight to the death, and she could just take advantage of the conflict.
And there is Fuquan. Now that she has given birth to a prince, Fuquan no longer needs to live. Before getting rid of him, she still has to get rid of Concubine Ning Que first.
The prince without his mother's protection is very worried and calculating. If he is forced to do it himself, he will destroy himself.
Since his son was the only prince left in the harem, Shunzhi had to make him the crown prince even if he disliked him much.
All I have to do then is wait obediently in Jingyang Palace for Shunzhi's death. As soon as he dies, I will be the empress dowager. How wonderful, how wonderful!
Forget it, this girl is right. No place in the palace is safe. I'd better not say these things in the future, so as not to bring disaster to myself.
"Go make me some soup. I suddenly want chicken soup. I don't know why, but I can't eat a single bite of this bird's nest soup."
"Maybe you've been using it too much lately, and our little prince is tired of it and wants to change his taste."
"That should be it. Don't worry, I will be careful with what I say and do in the future. Fortunately, you are here to remind me. After this Japanese little master succeeds, you will definitely benefit from it."
"My lady, you are wrong. This is what I should do. As long as my lady and my master are well, I will be satisfied."
The two of them didn't know that their conversation had already been heard by someone hiding in the dark. The person in the dark sighed and said, "What was he thinking about drugging the emperor and still wanting him to stay alive?"
However, their main task now is to monitor Concubine Tong's every word and action. They cannot do without people here, so they should wait until someone comes to take over the shift before reporting to Shunzhi.
Two months later, the Tong family finally realized that something was wrong, because they had less and less power, and their positions were constantly changing, and they were already on the edge.
"What's going on? Has the Emperor made any major moves recently? Why has he assigned us to these insignificant positions?
The young lady is about to give birth. If this baby is a prince, we will also be rewarded. But now we are being transferred for no reason. Isn't that right?"
However, no matter how hard they thought about it, they could not imagine that the reason for such a disaster was entirely caused by Concubine Tong.
It is said that it is the father's fault if he fails to educate his children. Now they have to pay the price for their actions.
In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Tong had just finished her meal and wanted to discuss the matter of Mousse Li with her maid, but as soon as she started talking, her stomach started to bleed.
"Quick, call the imperial physician! This young lady seems to be about to give birth!"
"Someone come quickly, the little girl is giving birth!"
Fortunately, although Shunzhi wanted to kill her, he was reluctant to sacrifice the child's life, so he sent someone to deliver the baby.
