"I dare not, I did not. Your Majesty, you cannot just listen to the words of this lowly maid and doubt me. I am devoted to you, how could I prevent your child from being born?
Damn you slut, I took pity on you for being bullied in the Imperial Garden so I brought you back to Kunning Palace and wanted to give you a chance, but you only thought about slandering me.
If I had known you were close to Noble Lady Ding, I would never have brought you back to Kunning Palace, and today's situation wouldn't have happened. I feel so wronged."
"Your Highness, do you really not feel guilty when you say this? I know you don't want His Majesty to know about the evil things you've done, but you've done it, and no matter how well you cover it up, it will eventually be exposed.
Your Majesty, what I said before was all true. I saw many unknown things during the month I was in Kunning Palace. The Empress is not as magnanimous as she appears to be. She is just pretending.
The Emperor must be very surprised as to why there has been no birth in the harem for so long. That is because the Empress did something while the concubines were still unaware, making them think that they were having their periods, and that is why it has not been discovered.
I know that what I said was disrespectful, but I swear that everything I said was true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to search for evidence. There must be evidence in my room that Your Majesty had placed there. Your Majesty can send someone to check it out."
The murderous intent in the queen's eyes became more and more obvious. She thought that the other party was a dog that was easy to control, but she didn't expect that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. If Kangxi believed her, then her position as queen would really be over.
"Your Majesty, how could I do such a thing? Please understand clearly, I did not do it. Uya, you, a servant, dare to slander me like this. Have you thought about the consequences?"
"Since I dare to speak out, I am naturally prepared to be silenced, but I believe that the emperor will not kill innocent people by mistake, so I dare to say these words."
When Concubine Tong heard Uyama say that the queen had taken action before the concubines found out she was pregnant, she felt terrible. She thought that it must be Uyama's fault that she had no children.
She was a noble concubine and Kangxi's cousin. If she could give birth to a son or daughter, the Tong family's position in the capital would be more stable. But she couldn't get pregnant.
Before, she always thought it was due to her physical condition, but now it seems that she was probably harmed by the Queen without knowing it. Poor her child was gone without her even noticing. She was so heartbroken!
As he was already a weak person, it was normal for him to faint after hearing the news. This made Kangxi even more angry.
"Niuhulu, tell me, is what she said true? Did you really attack my offspring? When have I ever made things difficult for you? When have I ever wronged you? Why did you attack my offspring?"
Seeing that Kangxi believed Uyama's words, the queen did not explain much. It was indeed what she did, and she admitted it, but admitting it did not mean that she felt she was wrong.
If a person does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is the imperial palace, and there is no family affection in a place like the palace. Everything she does is for herself. Since it is for herself, there is nothing wrong with it.
“Your Majesty, instead of asking me why I attacked them, you should ask me whether I am your wife or just an empress who helps you handle harem affairs.
I also want to live in harmony with my husband, but you only have respectful feelings towards me. I was supposed to stay in Kunning Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, but now I am too lazy to go.
What have I done wrong to make you hate me so much? Do you know how I have been through all these years without an heir? I have to pretend to be dignified during the day and pretend to be generous at night while watching others sleep with me. I can't stand it.
You yourself said why I took action against them? Of course it was because they were favored and had children. Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you. These things were indeed done by me.
I couldn't get pregnant, so how could they get pregnant one after another? You don't know how ridiculous I felt when they miscarried and thought they were having their period.
Kangxi couldn't bear it any longer, so he went up and slapped her, knocking her to the ground.
He thought she was framed, but he didn't expect that these were actually true. If they were true, then were the deaths of those children who died prematurely caused by her?
"I'm asking you, was it you who did this to Chengrui and the others?"
The queen was stunned when she saw the bloodshot in Kangxi's eyes. She didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question, but since she didn't do it, she naturally would not admit it.
“Although I have done many evil things and harmed many unborn heirs, I did not do them. I will admit to everything I have done, except this one.
Looking at my poor memory, I think you probably don’t know what kind of person is behind your Empress Dowager. Why don’t you listen to me tell you in detail?
Chengrui was the eldest son, Rongpin was favored at the time, and Empress Yuan already had a legitimate son. How could he possibly take the title of the eldest son? So, Empress Yuan had Chengrui secretly eliminated.
Of course, Empress Yuan also got her retribution, and Chenghu followed her. In this way, Chengqing became the eldest prince. Do you think Concubine Hui was happy?
The position of the eldest prince belonged to Empress Yuan's child. How could she watch Chengqing take advantage of it? Look, Chengqing also died. The princes who were born later died for similar reasons.
What do you think happened to Empress Yuan? It wasn't retribution. It was me, the concubine, who leaked what she had done, and that's how the other concubines united to attack her.
Unfortunately, although Empress Yuan did all kinds of evil things, she was sincere to her child. She could have saved her own life when she gave birth, but she gave up because she wanted the prince to live.
As she expected, you made her child the Crown Prince, and you even felt guilty towards her and doted on the Crown Prince. You really need to be calculating to succeed."
Kangxi was shocked by the Queen's words. He never expected that the wife he thought was a truly virtuous woman was actually such a person behind the scenes. Those were his children. How could she have the heart to kill them?
He vaguely remembered how sad she was when Chengrui and the others passed away. He thought she felt the same way, but he didn't expect to find out today that it was not empathy, but she was just pretending for him.
When he thought about the fact that she had schemed to take the crown prince's position, he felt uncomfortable all over. The crown prince is still young, so it shouldn't be a problem if he is deposed from the crown prince, right?
However, he always acts based on evidence and would never make a decision based on just a few words. In this case, let someone investigate first. If it is true as the queen said, he will depose the prince.
