Mu Sili once again ordered a thorough investigation into the source of the rumor, and those who were secretly operating quickly stopped.
No one had expected that she would be pregnant, and the news was reported just when the ministers went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, which disrupted their plan to spread false information.
"My Lady, I've found something unusual."
"What?"
"The rumor comes from the Toffee's side."
"Toffee? Which Toffee?"
There were many concubines in the Shunzhi Dynasty. The most famous one was Consort Yijing Namu Zhong. But Namu Zhong has been dead for eleven years. Could it be that her people did it?
"It was the news secretly spread by people from Linzhi Palace."
Linzhi Palace? They really are Namu Zhong's people. But Namu Zhong has been dead for so many years, how come there are still people loyal to her?
And what is the charm of Namu Zhong that can gain the support and love of these people?
"Have you found out why they spread the news?"
"I have learned that their action is targeting the Grand Empress Dowager. The Emperor is her grandson who was raised by her own hands. If the Emperor suddenly becomes impotent, the country will be plunged into turmoil.
At that time, they only need to spread the news that her presence has caused the emperor to lack energy and become impotent, and then she will have to leave the palace or die.
And she had to make this decision because the emperor would force her to do so."
Mu Sili just thought it was funny. She had read an unofficial history in modern times.
It describes that Namu Zhong's son Boghor married a woman from the Dong E clan as his concubine. Later, Shunzhi took a fancy to this woman and plotted to kill Boghor.
Namu Zhong only gave birth to this one son for Huang Taiji. She was determined to build a career for her son, but in the end, her son died.
Her daughter-in-law was living with the murderer who killed her son. In her grief and anger, she killed Dong E and her son after she gave birth to the child.
As she expected, Shunzhi could not bear the death of Dong E and became a monk.
Xiaozhuang always thought that he had become a monk in Mount Wutai, but she didn't know that he was killed by people sent by Namu Zhong before he even arrived in Mount Wutai.
The man who had been a monk in Mount Wutai was just an orphan who looked like Shunzhi. This was also the reason why Xiaozhuang could only see him from afar when she went to Mount Wutai.
Because the other party was afraid that if Empress Xiaozhuang got too close, she would find out that the person in front of her was not her biological son.
"Does the Emperor know?"
"have no idea."
"Lian Yi, accompany me to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I will personally speak to the Emperor about this."
"yes."
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi really felt proud.
My cousin is so awesome. Revealing her pregnancy at this time is such a slap in the face to those people.
When he saw Mingzhu and Suo'etu's faces change, he felt like he was finally released after being suppressed for a long time, and he felt very happy.
This must be commended. Let him think about what new things are in this private storehouse. He will find them out and send them to her to play with.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."
"Please come in quickly! I wonder if your master is pregnant? You've actually left her waiting outside for an audience!"
"I will go and invite the queen in right away."
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Hurry up and get up. Why are you here at this hour? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, cousin. I just want to ask your opinion on something."
"What's up?"
"You are aware of the recent rumors. I asked someone to investigate, and the information they found out was that the rumor originated from the Concubine Dowager.
This concerns the Dowager Consort. Although I am the Imperial Noble Consort, it is not easy for me to take action."
"Toffee?"
Kangxi frowned. Why did the imperial concubine come into this? There weren't many imperial concubines in the palace.
However, he suddenly thought of Namu Zhong, the former owner of Linzhi Palace.
Although he didn't know everything about the emperor and Concubine Dong E, he knew a lot. After all, since she entered the palace, everyone in the harem had fallen out of favor.
Later, she gave birth to the emperor's favorite son, but unfortunately he died and Dong Efei also died.
The emperor passed the throne to him in despair and then went to Mount Wutai to become a monk. Years ago, the emperor's mother went to Mount Wutai to see him.
Even the emperor still ignored people as before and devoted himself to Buddhism.
"It's the Linzhi Palace, right?"
"Well, their target is the Empress Dowager."
Kangxi laughed. These people were really unwilling to give up. It was obvious that the ones who were wrong were the emperor's father and Dong Efei, but they insisted that it was the emperor's mother's fault.
Those children of his who died young were killed by Namu Zhong's people.
Considering that it was indeed Shunzhi's fault that she lost her own son Boghor, he could only listen to Xiaozhuang's opinion and not pursue the matter.
Fortunately, the survival rate of his children has been high since Namu Zhong's death, otherwise he would have destroyed this force long ago.
I didn't expect that after just a few years of peace, they would pop up again and want to target Empress Xiaozhuang. What wishful thinking!
No matter what Xiaozhuang did at the beginning, he was the one who benefited in the end, so he should be on Xiaozhuang's side.
After all, without the support and love of Empress Xiaozhuang, he would not be able to hold this position.
"Come here, eliminate all the forces of Linzhi Palace. I don't want Grand Noble Consort Yuan Yijing's people to remain in this palace."
"yes."
Three days later, the palace cleared out a group of people with ulterior motives. These people included both young and old, and were distributed in various palaces.
Kangxi's face was very gloomy because there were two of his opponents in the Qianqing Palace, which he thought he had a strong control over.
Although she was just a palace maid cleaning the room and couldn't touch him at all, he still felt it was a slap in the face.
After being unknown in the palace for decades, she unexpectedly exposed herself by falsely spreading the story that Kangxi was impotent.
Xiaozhuang also didn't expect that even though Namu Zhong had been dead for eleven years, there were still so many people in the palace who were loyal to her, which made her feel a little fortunate.
Fortunately, she was the winner that year, otherwise if Namu Zhong came to power, she and Fulin, mother and son, would definitely suffer.
Chengqian Palace.
"Mother, my elder brother is leaving the palace to visit Lady Mingzhu's home tomorrow, and I want to go with him."
"Yinzhi? Concubine Hui is Mingzhu's niece. Yinzhi went to the Nalan Mansion to visit relatives. Why did you follow him?"
"Mr. Nalan has passed away, and his son should go and burn some incense."
Mu Sili was suddenly stunned. Nalan Rongruo passed away? What a pity.
"If life could only be like the first time we met, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan? Forget it, go if you want, but you need to change your clothes."
"I know, thank you, mother. I will be back before the palace gates are locked."
Yinzhen and Yinzhi left the palace together. Defei was very sad after learning of Nalan Rongruo's death. She drank alone in Yonghe Palace.
Before she entered the harem and became Kangxi's concubine, she had fallen in love with Nalan Rongruo. Unexpectedly, two years after entering the palace, she could not resist her desire and climbed into Kangxi's bed.
When she saw Nalan Rongruo again, she was a concubine. Nalan Rongruo was Kangxi's guard and had married a wife he loved deeply - Lu.
What a pity. How could Lu win his favor? Three years after she got married, she died of childbirth complications. Who knew that it was she who had someone do it?
