An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 489 The Emperor's Weakness
"I know that the emperor is inevitably soft-hearted towards his beloved, but the emperor must also think about himself. If he blindly protects and tolerates, how can he stop those gossiping people? Then, how will others view the emperor?"
The Empress Dowager's voice was not loud, but it was like a bolt of lightning to Yongzheng.
Indeed, he was only concerned with protecting Concubine Quan, but he forgot one important point.
That is, everything the other party did really happened. Even if he told the Queen Mother with certainty that all this was done by Nian Shilan who was bewitched by Cao Qinmo behind the scenes, could those things be erased?
Moreover, there was one thing the Empress Dowager said that hit Yongzheng's heart right away, and that was - reputation!
An emperor will cherish his reputation as long as he does not ignore the evaluation of himself after his death.
Yongzheng took his imperial model ancestor Kangxi as his goal and intended to become an emperor whose name would be passed down through the ages.
Therefore, he must not allow himself to be branded as a "tyrant" because of some trivial matters of personal love!
"What the Empress said makes sense. I also know that things like this cannot be tolerated."
Yongzheng thought about it in his heart, and when he looked at the empress dowager, his expression was extremely serious, "However, Empress Dowager, the matter of Concubine Nian is originally a royal matter, and it happened in the harem, so I'm afraid it won't affect the previous dynasty, right?"
The Queen Mother originally said those words against her will in order to hit her son's weak spot and make him wake up.
Now, the emperor was not unconscious, but he still wanted to give Concubine Nian a chance, so he said these tentative words to the empress dowager. His purpose was very direct, which was to see if the empress dowager would help him find a way out for the other party!
"Haha, what the emperor said is true. This is indeed the royal family's 'family affair', but the emperor must not forget one thing. Concubine Nian not only behaved recklessly in the harem, but also sold official positions and titles. How can this be separated from the previous dynasty?"
The Queen Mother said calmly: "Of course, a Concubine Nian alone doesn't have such extraordinary abilities."
However, Concubine Nian is not alone, behind her there is General Nian who was in the emperor's favor not long ago!
Nian Gengyao!
Yongzheng also heard the empress dowager's hidden meaning and his face immediately turned pale.
A surge of anger surged in his heart. This anger was naturally not directed at the Queen Mother, but he felt that Nian Gengyao was a good-for-nothing who had betrayed his trust over the years!
Having said that, Yongzheng also selectively forgot that after his power became a little more stable, he began to fear Nian Gengyao.
If it weren't for the frequent wars in the northwest, Nian Gengyao might not have survived until now!
In this respect, Yongzheng is indeed a leader in "putting away the bow when the bird is dead".
"Thank you, my son, for your advice."
After a moment of silence, Yongzheng had made up his mind. He decided not to stay any longer and immediately said goodbye to the empress dowager.
After the emperor left, the empress dowager asked Sun Zhuxi to bring the queen back.
"Okay, now I have helped you deal with the emperor's problem."
Looking at the queen kneeling in front of her, the queen mother said with neither joy nor anger, "I hope this is the last time you act arbitrarily. If there is a next time, I will make you pay the price!"
After saying this, the Queen Mother waved her hand.
"I know I was wrong. Thank you, Queen Mother, for saving me!"
The queen didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal at this time. After facing the emperor who came to question her angrily, she knew that she had to let it go in this matter.
Now that she has the Queen Mother's support behind her, the Emperor has stopped pursuing her. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, the Queen wouldn't dare to think about how she would get out of this situation.
At the same time, after realizing that the Emperor cared about Concubine Nian, the Queen suddenly came to her senses.
You can't continue to attack Nian Shilan, otherwise, the emperor will be the first one to not let her go.
Therefore, when leaving Shoukang Palace, the queen's strong momentum suddenly collapsed.
"My Lady! Are you okay?"
Jianqiu was originally helping the queen walk normally, but the queen's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
This time, Jianqiu was frightened quite a bit.
"It's okay, I just don't have much strength."
The queen sighed and motioned for Jianqiu to help her to the side.
"My queen, you are not feeling well. Why don't you go back to the queen mother and rest for a while?"
They had just left Shoukang Palace, and the person sent by Jianqiu to summon the imperial carriage had not returned yet. At this time, the Queen looked weak, and she really did not dare to take the risk.
"No need." The Queen shook her head. "I may just be tired. There is no need to alarm the Queen Mother for such a small matter."
Because he had just been reprimanded by the Queen Mother, if he went back now, the Queen Mother might think that he had done it on purpose.
In fact, the main reason why the queen was like this was that she had been extremely nervous before.
When only her own people were left, the queen relaxed and she began to feel unable to hold on any longer.
"Then you might feel better if you lean on me?"
Seeing that the queen was so stubborn, Jianqiu had no choice but to let the queen lean on her.
After the queen's carriage arrived, he quickly helped the queen onto the sedan chair and rushed to Jingren Palace in a hurry.
At the same time, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Jianqiu asked someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician.
These things happened right at the gate of his own palace. Even if the empress dowager did not ask about it, there would be people under her command who would tell Sun Zhuxi.
After all, Sun Zhuxi had followed the empress dowager for so many years, and he knew that she was attracted by the glory of the Uya and Ulanara families.
Therefore, no matter how unreasonable the queen is, the empress dowager will never give up on her unless she has no other choice.
Thinking of this, Sun Zhuxi did not dare to hide anything and immediately told the Queen Mother that the Queen might have "scared" her sick.
"Haha, is the situation really that serious?"
When faced with Sun Zhuxi who came to report to her, the Queen Mother did not take what she said to heart at first.
As for the Queen Mother, she was used to these little tricks and naturally didn't take them to heart.
"I can't say for sure about this."
Although Sun Zhuxi wanted to help the Queen Mother eliminate some of her anger towards the Queen, how could she not tell who was her master?
No matter how much the Queen Mother values the Queen, that is her own business.
She is a servant and all she needs to do is be loyal to her master, the Queen Mother.
Like what happened outside before, Sun Zhuxi did not hide anything and told the Queen Mother everything.
But what the Queen Mother thinks is the master's own thought.
Sun Zhuxi didn't dare to say anything and began to pretend to be confused.
"Don't worry about her." The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Send someone to bring Huipin to me!"
