Shunzhi was speechless for a moment. Why wasn't he here? If his body was still the same body that was not suitable for conception, Concubine Tong's words would definitely make him feel resentful.
However, his health had completely recovered under the witness of Doctor Zhen, and it was all thanks to Mu Sili that he recovered. He didn't believe that she would betray him.
Moreover, the reason why Concubine Tong said this was that she thought her plan had been completed and he had long lost his ability to have children, so she dared to spread rumors about the queen.
If she knew that her body had recovered, she would have been terrified.
"You... Queen... Why is the Queen here? Where is the Emperor? Where did he go? Why didn't he come to see me? I'm bearing children for him, how could he be so indifferent?"
It is true that the Queen is pregnant with triplets, but she is pregnant with illegitimate children, not the Emperor's children at all. Could it be that something has happened to the Emperor? Come, quickly capture the Queen!"
"How dare you! I'll see who dares to disrespect the Queen, Concubine Tong. I previously favored you for a little longer because you served me fairly diligently, but this has only made you more ambitious.
You poisoned me so that I would be childless and eventually have to make your son the crown prince? You are simply wishful thinking.
I knew a long time ago that you drugged me, but you were pregnant, so I couldn't do anything about it directly, so I let you live for two more months.
I originally wanted to make you suffer before you die, but you wrongly accused the Queen. You probably don't know that because of the Queen, not only was my poison cured, but my body also recovered.
The Queen is pregnant with my child, this is absolutely true. No matter how you slander and spread rumors, I will never doubt it.
By the way, regardless of whether the Tong family knows that you drugged me, they are finished. You should think about how you will face the Tong family in the underworld."
In the delivery room, Concubine Tong's face was as pale as paper. She didn't believe that Shunzhi had already known about her health problems.
He was an emperor, how could he possibly tolerate such a thing? He must have been deeply in love with Mu Sili and couldn't bear to see her die, so he made up such a lie.
After all, she gave him a sterilizing drug, which had no cure and could not be found out. If it could be found out, she would not have lived to see the birth of the baby.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and deliver the baby. The Queen is indeed carrying my child. If anyone dares to spread any rumors, everyone in Jingyang Palace today will have their property confiscated and their entire clan exterminated."
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I dare not."
"Your Majesty, why is Concubine Tong so sure that the infertility drug has no antidote? Even if there really is no antidote, it can still make people pregnant after conditioning. After all, to put it bluntly, the infertility drug is just a very cold substance."
"I don't know. Did I scare you just now? I told you not to come, but now you see the excitement, but it's your own excitement. Are you surprised?"
Seeing Shunzhi's somewhat gloating expression, Mu Sili suddenly felt like she was being treated like a monkey.
"Your Majesty, I'd better go back. I'm in no mood to watch this melon being eaten by myself.
It’s just that Concubine Tong had a bit of difficulty giving birth to this child. I’m afraid that after giving birth to this one, she won’t have the courage to have a second one.
I have decided that if I give birth to a little prince this time, I will not have any more children. After all, I already have a legitimate son, and having more children will only lead to fights.
You know, I'm still a child at heart, and I'm afraid I can't take care of everything, so I'll just give birth to this one child. Is that okay with you?"
Shunzhi was confused. He had no objection? He had a lot of objections!
He now only trusts Mu Sili. If she really only gives birth to this one child, then wouldn't he still be the person with the fewest offspring in the history of the Qing Dynasty?
No matter what, the child said it is better to let nature take its course, but the child must be born.
"I don't think it's good at all. I still want to live a life with many children and grandchildren. Queen, you can't let me down, otherwise I won't be able to give birth alone."
The palace maids all bowed their heads when they heard this. Does this mean that the Emperor is bowing to the Empress? I didn't expect the Empress to be so favored. I will have to respect her even more in the future.
"Since Your Majesty has said so, it would seem a bit arrogant if I refused. Your Majesty, rest assured that you will have no shortage of offspring."
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. The Tong family was unaware of my drugging you. Please forgive them for the sake of my unborn child.
You can send them to Ningguta, or you can let them all guard the northwest. Please don't take their lives!
This was done by me, and has nothing to do with others. Your Majesty, for the sake of the good times we had together, please forgive them!"
Concubine Tong was really scared now. If her family was really in trouble, what was the point of all her planning?
She could die, but she still had family after her death. As long as she could give birth to a prince successfully, with the ability of the Tong family, they would one day send him to the throne.
Even if I die at that time, I will be posthumously named queen. Although it is a posthumous glory, it is also a kind of honor!
If the Tong family died with her at this juncture, what would happen to her child? She didn't believe he could sit in that position on his own.
She believed that she had ambitions and her child was not stupid, but without the support of his family, how could he fight the queen?
Therefore, the Tong family must be saved. Only by saving it can her death not be in vain.
"Do I look like an idiot? Concubine Tong, I am the emperor and I have the power of life and death over you. Even if the Tong family is unaware of this, they are still guilty of not teaching them well.
If I had educated you strictly, you would not have done anything wrong. In the past, you dared to give me a sterilizing drug. If I don't deal with it, you might give me a poison called "Crane's Beak Potion" in the future.
I have been the emperor for so many years, I am not a soft-hearted person. Don't worry, the child is innocent. You Tong family members should go to the underground to talk about it. Do it. "
Without giving Concubine Tong a chance to speak, Shunzhi directly asked the midwife to do the work.
Deep down, he has never been a good person. Even if the target is his own mother, if someone dares to do something to hurt him, he will deal with it.
It's just that the way of handling it is different. It's just like before, because he hated Dorgon for having an affair with her, he whipped Dorgon's corpse after his death.
Concubine Tong should be thankful that she did not poison herself with other poisons, otherwise she would have died as soon as the matter was discovered.
Now she still wants to plead for the Tong family, which is ridiculous. Does he think he doesn't know that her real purpose is to keep them supporting her child?
Why should he give her the chance to compete with the child in her belly for the one with Mu Sili?
