Chapter 49 Secret
The next morning, Bai Xingjian came a few minutes earlier than usual to the Ganqing Palace, but found that Kangxi also got up early.
However, looking at the black green at the moment and the bloodshots in his eyes, it should be more appropriate to say that he was not sleeping.
Seeing Bai Xingjian coming, Kangxi immediately couldn't sit still and pulled him to Cining Palace.
This time, Bai Xingjian did not stop him.
Seeing Kangxi coming, Mao Dongzhu pretended to be surprised and hurriedly asked him what he was doing.
Kangxi toughly asked all the palace servants in Cining Palace to be removed, leaving only Bai Xingjian, and only asked him to tell what happened last night.
When Mao Dongzhu heard that Shunzhi was not dead, he was also shocked.
Later, when Bai Xingjian told the cause of death of Dong Efei and others, if he hadn't known that Bai Xingjian was from the same group as her, he would have been scared and sweated a lot.
However, it was this uneasy look that made Kangxi even more convinced that Mao Dongzhu knew something.
After Bai Xingjian finished speaking, Kangxi knelt down with a pounce, which scared Mao Dongzhu.
"Emperor, what are you doing?" He said that and was about to help Kangxi up.
Kangxi stopped Mao Dongzhu, kowtowed a few times, and said sincerely: "Mother, although you are not my biological mother, you have been carefully educated over the past few years, and I am no different from my biological mother. My son has pain in his heart, so he can only tell the mother and queen."
"My mother is also indescribable to hide, but as a son, how can I remain indifferent to the death of my biological mother?"
"Besides, Xiao Guizi was responsible for the order of the late emperor to investigate the cause of the deaths of Concubine Dong E, Prince Rong and Concubine Zhen."
"For both public and private, my son asks the mother to tell the truth, and the son asks the mother to the mother to the mother." After that, he kowtowed hard again.
Bai Xingjian, who was standing by, saw Kangxi's behavior, could not help but compare himself with his reaction last night. He thought that Kangxi was sincere and sincere. If he had competed with acting skills, his performance yesterday would definitely not be as moving as Kangxi now.
In fact, Kangxi's performance is indeed unbearable, not to mention that this incident was planned by Bai Xingjian and Mao Dongzhu from the beginning, and it would not be hidden from Kangxi.
Mao Dongzhu's face changed again and again. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he nodded heavily and looked directly at Kangxi.
"Okay, since the matter has come to this point, I'll hide it from you."
"I don't know whether the death of Empress Xiaokang and the others is related to the Empress Dowager. I don't know much about this, nor do I have sufficient evidence to make the case. I dare to commit the crime and say that this is related to the Empress Dowager."
"I can only tell you some secrets from the past."
"Actually, the Empress Dowager has never liked Concubine Dong E. Emperor, you are still young and don't understand palace struggles. After you get married, you may find that the harem is not a peaceful place."
"In order to compete for favor, the concubines fought even more than the previous dynasty."
"When the late emperor was still alive, the empress dowager always controlled the harem, hoping that the late emperor could give birth to a prince who used the golden blood of Mongolia and inherit the Qing Dynasty's country."
"So in the harem of the late emperor, the high-ranking concubines were all from Mongolians. Before me, there was also an empress, who was also from Mongolians."
"It's a pity that the late emperor believed that Mongolia had controlled the bloodline of the Qing Dynasty for several generations. If there was another prince with Mongolian bloodline, would the Qing Dynasty have the country of mankind or Mongolian?"
Hearing this, Kangxi frowned, and his dissatisfaction with Shoukang Palace became even deeper.
Seeing this, Bai Xingjian's lips curled upside down a little deeper. The best way to provoke the emperor is always to threaten his imperial power.
Mao Dongzhu continued: "So, in the struggle between the late emperor and the Empress Dowager, the first empress was deposed, but under the oppression of the Empress Dowager, the Ai family became the new empress."
"But the emperor doesn't like me. He favors concubines who are born with people, such as Dong E and Empress Xiaokang."
"Originally, the Empress Dowager was just dissatisfied with this, but the emperor was the emperor and he was willing to favor anyone. It was difficult for the empress dowager to be concerned about it. Until Concubine Dong E gave birth to Prince Rong and the emperor was determined to make Prince Rong the prince, the conflict between the two completely broke out."
"The Empress Dowager hopes that the prince with Mongolian blood will inherit the throne, but the emperor favors Concubine Dong E and Prince Rong, and even plans to depose the Ai family and give Concubine Dong E the empress."
"You will know what happened later. Prince Rong and Concubine Dong E suddenly died suddenly, Concubine Zhen also died, and even Empress Xiaokang died soon."
Speaking of this, Mao Dongzhu subconsciously glanced at Kangxi. Sure enough, Kangxi's face was as gloomy as if he could squeeze out water.
Even though Mao Dongzhu knew that this was not directed at her, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She didn't dare to look at her again, so she hurriedly turned her head away.
"If you suspect that Empress Xiaokang's death is related to the Empress Dowager, then the biggest possibility is probably the Ai family."
As he said that, Mao Dongzhu smiled helplessly, "After all, the Empress Dowager values Mongolia so much. If Empress Xiaokang is still there, she is the emperor's biological mother, and the impact on the emperor will be greater."
"And I am from Mongolia, maybe it may be because of this."
Although, from the beginning to now, Mao Dongzhu has never said these things in his or her own words, it must be the work of the Empress Dowager.
But she had already explained all the motivations for the Empress Dowager to do this.
Before the Liu Yan incident happened, these motives were just motivations.
But now in Kangxi's mind, these motives are not just motivations, but real evidence.
"So, are these things really the Queen Mother's actions? What about the Queen Mother, why did she attack the Queen Mother this time?"
After hearing this, Mao Dongzhu smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because of the emperor's wedding."
"Big wedding?" Kangxi was stunned.
Mao Dongzhu nodded, "The emperor chose Soetu's niece Hesheli, who was married for a long time. According to the rules, the emperor should have had a big marriage, but the Empress Dowager kept suppressing the emperor because the emperor was still young."
"In secret, I have always asked me to choose a noble Mongolian girl to enter the emperor's harem. Even if it is not the queen, at least I would be a noble concubine. But I was worried about the events of the late emperor back then, so I never agreed."
"The Empress Dowager, maybe because of this, I sent someone to give me a warning."
"Of course, it may be that I am gone. As the emperor's grandmother, she may be able to interfere in the emperor's marriage with justice. It may be like this."
"This damn old witch!" Kangxi could no longer help but hit the table hard and shouted with gritted teeth.
"Emperor, if you don't understand the Queen Mother's methods, don't do anything." Mao Dongzhu fanned the flames.
