"So after I was injured, this is what the Emperor and the Queen Mother did to Nian Shilan?"
Under Jianqiu's careful care, the queen first drank the soup and then the tonic, and she felt her stomach was filled with water.
Perhaps the warm medicine took effect, in any case the queen's mental state was indeed much better than before.
At this time, the Queen faced Jianqiu and asked her about the result of Nian Shilan.
After learning from Jianqiu that Nian Shilan had been banished to the cold palace and demoted to a commoner, the Queen looked indifferent, without any trace of pride on her face.
"The queen doesn't seem happy?"
Jianqiu naturally noticed this and said immediately: "The Queen Mother originally wanted to persuade the Emperor to deal with it severely, but the Emperor seemed to have concerns at the time. Afterwards, the Queen Mother and the Emperor left Jingren Palace. I don't know what happened next..."
At that time, the queen was still in a coma and the entire Jingren Palace was in chaos.
As the head maid of Jingren Palace, Jianqiu was not only responsible for dispatching personnel to fully cooperate with the imperial physician in treating the empress, but also had to deal with both the empress dowager and the emperor. It was really a headache for her.
Under such circumstances, it was already quite difficult for Jianqiu to remember what the emperor and the empress dowager had said.
The queen also knew this, so when she heard Jianqiu say this, she did not show any blame.
"I know you have done your best for me."
Why didn't the emperor follow the empress dowager's advice? What happened in the middle? Although the empress was not involved, with her understanding of the emperor over the years, she only needed to speculate in her mind to come up with a general idea.
After all, the reason why he was reluctant to let go was simply because the Nian family had been destroyed by the emperor.
For a concubine, even if her hands are not clean and there is a lot of real evidence to prove it, the emperor would never stab her to death unless she really caused an unmanageable disaster!
"It's just me who's injured now, and it's not a serious injury. I'll be fine after a period of rest. How could the emperor be so angry about this?"
Thinking of the emperor's cold character, the queen sneered, "If it was Wanpin who was stabbed by Nian, and she had a miscarriage because of her, maybe the emperor would really punish her severely!"
"My lady, how can you say such sad words?"
Jianqiu didn't want the Queen to be sad and angry about those unworthy people and things at this time, so she wanted to persuade the Queen.
But the Queen was very clear in her mind. The reason she used Zhen Huan as an example was just to let Jianqiu understand that she didn't care about these things.
"Isn't what I said the truth?"
The queen asked back calmly, leaving Jianqiu speechless.
Yes, that's the truth, it's just hard for people to accept it when you say it out loud.
"Okay, I want to rest and recuperate for a while. You go back to the Yangxin Palace and tell the emperor what I mean. Then send someone to inform the concubines in the palace. From tomorrow on, you don't have to come to pay your respects to me anymore."
The queen closed her eyes, and a trace of fatigue appeared on her face.
"My queen wants..."
Jianqiu understood that the Queen was planning to retire at this time. On the one hand, she really wanted to recuperate, and on the other hand, she wanted to avoid the chaos in the harem.
"Now that you understand what I mean, you naturally know what to do."
The queen looked at this senior palace maid whom she had personally trained, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face.
……
"That's what the Queen decided. My son thought that the affairs of the harem still need someone to take care of them, so he came to ask the Queen Mother to make the arrangements."
After receiving the message from the Empress who sent Jianqiu to the Yangxin Palace, Yongzheng was not too surprised. He took the opportunity to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager to question her.
The affairs of the harem are neither big nor small, so it is impossible for the emperor to be involved in everything.
Originally, as the mistress of the six palaces, it was the queen's duty to manage the harem, and she had no choice but to do so.
In the past, the emperor asked Nian Shilan to assist in managing the affairs of the six palaces, but the latter had to take care of more things than the empress, the proper head of the six palaces, which seemed to have sidelined the empress as the central palace.
The queen knew very well at the time that the other party was powerful and favored by the emperor, and she could not win against him no matter what, so she could only choose to give in.
Later, when new people entered the palace, Nian Shilan's favor gradually faded, and the queen seized the opportunity to regain power.
The emperor naturally had a clear understanding of these matters.
This time, the queen was accidentally injured. Perhaps the injury was really serious, or perhaps it was because she was old. Anyway, since the queen was willing to give up power, Yongzheng was naturally happy.
"I am already old, so I naturally cannot help you, the Emperor, to deal with these complicated matters."
It is impossible for the Queen Mother to care about trivial matters, nor does she want to bother with the concubines in the harem.
Since the queen intends to "retire" for a period of time, this itself is a good thing.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment, then said to her son, "I think Huipin and Jingfei are both very good, and they have helped the Queen deal with the affairs of the six palaces. Let them continue to manage these matters. If there is anything important, they can report to me or the Queen, so that there won't be any trouble."
"What the Empress said is true."
Yongzheng nodded first, then changed the subject and said, "My son thinks that although Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui are virtuous and decent, they are still young after all. Among them, Concubine Hui just gave birth to a princess. Even with the care of those maids and palace maids, it is inevitable that she will not have enough energy."
"What does the emperor mean?"
How could the Empress Dowager not understand that Yongzheng's words were full of hidden meanings? It was clear that she was not satisfied with the fact that she only mentioned Shen Meizhuang and Jingfei's names. She immediately narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "Emperor, I know that you have always favored Wanpin, but is her current body more 'relaxed' than Huipin's?"
Because Yongzheng has always treated Zhen Huan differently, and the reasons behind this are well known to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Queen, who are "insiders", and there is no need to point them out.
At this time, the Empress Dowager wanted to warn Yongzheng not to lose his sense of purpose and act completely at will, which would lead to bitter consequences in the future.
"My dear mother, I know."
Yongzheng didn't expect that his own mother would think this way, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After some explanation, Yongzheng finally dispelled the Empress Dowager's doubts.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager stopped preaching, Yongzheng breathed a sigh of relief and put forward his own ideas.
"My son went to see Concubine Duan a few days ago. She looked much better than before. I think her 'condition' has finally improved. My son thinks that instead of letting her lock herself up in the palace all day, it would be better to find something for her to do."
After Yongzheng finished speaking, he looked at the empress dowager with burning eyes, waiting for her decision.
