Mu Sili stood directly in front of the Imperial Concubine. She knew what she meant. Wasn’t she just trying to label her a monster?
"Your Majesty, you are really interesting. You are here to attend to the Empress Dowager, but why do you only see me? How did I offend you?
I was blessed by heaven to have multiple children. This is a happy event, but how can you make it a crime against heaven and earth? I don't understand.
The Emperor can decide whether a concubine is a demon or not. The Emperor is the supreme ruler. What demon would be so bold as to act so presumptuously in front of the Emperor?
If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let it go. My child is fine, and I won't tolerate you slandering him in the slightest."
The Imperial Noble Consort was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Mu Sili. She wanted to beat this vixen to death and see how she could seduce Kangxi again!
"presumptuous!"
Kangxi was so angry that he almost died. If he had known that the Imperial Noble Concubine's visit to Cining Palace would cause so much trouble, he might as well have confined her to Chengqian Palace.
Mu Sili's pregnancy was a good thing, but it became a bad thing for her. Not only that, she also made her into a fairy.
Didn't he know if he was a demon? If she was, he would have noticed it long ago. Why did she need to intervene? Did she really think he, the emperor, was a fool?
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I just thought Depin was abnormal, so I said that. Please calm down, I will withdraw now."
The Imperial Noble Consort finally realized what she was doing, but so what? She didn't believe that Kangxi would punish her for Mu Sili.
"Step down? You think you can slander my great-grandson? Xuanye, I said she was not worthy of the position of empress. Look, how can such a person be worthy of the position of empress?
Fortunately, I tried my best to stop you, otherwise you would have regretted it. However, I think she is not even qualified to be the Imperial Noble Consort, so please demote her.
Because she is a member of the Tong family, I will demote her to the rank of Imperial Concubine as a warning to you, lest it be spread outside and people say that the royal family condoned her to spread rumors about the heir to the throne, which would be bad for you."
The Imperial Noble Consort looked at Xiaozhuang with an unpleasant expression. She had only spoken a few truths, so why did she want to abolish her position as Imperial Noble Consort? Could it be to make room for Mu Sili?
But that shouldn't be the case. Even if she gave birth to Xiao Si and was pregnant with another child, she would still be given the title of Defei. How could she possibly skip the title of Guifei and become Huang Guifei?
She was careless this time, but she could be demoted and promoted again. She didn't believe that Kangxi would tolerate her mother's family being inferior.
In the past, her status was lower than that of the Hesheli and Niuhulu families, but now that they have both turned to dust, there is no way he would allow others to suppress the Tong family.
With this idea in mind, she no longer worried about it. Kangxi would restore her to the throne anyway, and she didn't want to be bored in the Cining Palace now, so she might as well go back directly.
"It's my fault. I will accept any punishment you want. Since you think I haven't taken good care of you and I've already been punished, I'll take my leave.
Don't worry, I will reflect on my actions after returning to Chengqian Palace. After all, I am no longer a royal concubine, so I have plenty of time to reflect on my actions."
Hearing her say this, Xiaozhuang had another heart attack. She had an idea that if she continued to stay in the palace, something would happen to her sooner or later. It would be better to send her to hell.
"Grand Empress Dowager, are you alright? It was I who wronged you. If I hadn't come here, Imperial Concubine Tong wouldn't have said such outrageous words."
"What does this have to do with you? I am actually worried about your health now. You should move to the Cining Palace to recuperate as Xuanye said. I will feel more at ease seeing you there."
"This...I wanted to stay in the Cining Palace to take care of my baby, but you are not feeling well, and I am worried that staying there will disturb your peace."
"No, you and your son are blessed. If I lived in the Cining Palace, I would only enjoy the blessings. How could I be affected?
Maybe it won't take long for me to get better after you move in. I'm really looking forward to the birth of your baby. After all, this is my first time seeing quadruplets.
I have often heard people say that it is not easy to conceive multiple babies, and I never thought that such a blessing would come to the royal family. I didn’t expect it to come today.
I don't want anything else, as long as you can give birth safely this time, I will accept it even if I die."
"You can't think like that. I hope you live a long life. If I come to Cining Palace, it will cause you misfortune. I would rather stay alone in Yonghe Palace.
You treat me well and are the kindest elder I have ever met. I don’t want anything to happen to you, or I will be sad.”
Xiaozhuang was very pleased to hear Mu Sili say this. This was the first time someone said she was kind, and she couldn't let her down.
"Everything I said is true. Just stay in the Cining Palace and enjoy the sight of the quadruplets being born first."
"Since the Royal Mother has said so, don't refuse, otherwise the Royal Mother will be disappointed. With you and Xiao Si here, the Royal Mother will definitely recover as soon as possible.
Don't worry, Madam Huang, I had someone pack her boxes before I came to the Cining Palace. Can I let her live in the same room as before?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Suma, take Depin to have a look. If there's anything inappropriate, change it immediately."
"Yes, please, Madam Depin."
"Then I'll go take a look first. I'll take my leave."
"Xuanye, I think the Imperial Concubine is too bold. She probably reacted like this because she thought you would restore her position as Imperial Concubine, so she acted so recklessly.
I was not optimistic about her entering the palace from the beginning. She is young but has strong ambitions. However, Depin is very pleasing to me. I will promote her after she gives birth to a child."
"I thought so too, but she was a little frightened when I made her a concubine before. I'm afraid that I might scare her by making her a concubine so soon."
"What's the big deal? This is what she deserves. She deserves the reward for giving birth to a child. Since you can't do it, let me do it.
It's getting late, and if you're busy, I won't keep you for dinner. Go and do your thing."
Xiaozhuang looked at Kangxi with disdain and drove him away. Since he still needed to deal with Concubine Tong's affairs, she would not keep him.
Kangxi was helpless. He was indeed very busy. He decided to deal with Concubine Tong's matter first. He was worried that she would do something bad to Mu Sili in secret.
Inside Chengqian Palace.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on? Why was she sent to the Xinzheku by the Emperor? I worked so hard to train her, not to send her to the Xinzheku as a slave!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is the Emperor's order. I have already sent someone to ask, and the Emperor has no intention of accepting her. If she doesn't enter the Xinzheku, she will die.
According to this servant's analysis, she probably thought you would find a way to get her out after entering the Xinzheku, so she chose the Xinzheku. Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
