"Put your sword away first!" This was the first time that Kangxi's life was threatened. He felt very unhappy both in his heart and on his body! However, his momentum did not drop at all, and he spoke in a commanding tone. The emperor was indeed an emperor.
Tribes fight at all times.
The corners of Wen Xi's mouth slightly raised, and she said with a smile: "With the emperor's macho spirit, he will definitely not ask the outside guards to come in to help, right?" Being threatened by a woman is enough to damage his face. If he is seen by others,
In the eyes, Kangxi had lost all his face. Wen Xi thought, and the sword returned to its scabbard with a swish. Wen Xi also needed to preserve enough mental power to reduce unnecessary consumption for emergencies.
Kangxi turned around and sat back on the throne, tapping his index finger slowly on the table with a deep and slow rhythm. After a long time, he looked directly into his gentle eyes and asked: "What on earth are you doing that makes you willing to go back with me?"
Wen Xi said forcefully: "I will never go back no matter what!"
"You——" Kangxi was furious for a moment, "Yuludai is four years old. What does the princess of the Qing Dynasty look like outside all the time?!"
Wen Xi snorted and said, "When I go back, are you using it as a tool for marriage with Mongolia?"
The gentle and sarcastic tone made Kangxi grit his teeth and said bitterly: "I promised you long ago that Yu Ludai will not marry far away from Mongolia! You can rest assured! But if she follows you and does not have a glorious identity, how will she marry in the future?
In a good family?"
Indeed, Kangxi's words hit Wen Xi's core. Yu Ludai is still sleeping soundly in the space, and she doesn't know anything about it. If she gives up her identity as a princess, it will definitely be worse for her to marry back to the palace in the future.
Kangxi saw that Wen Xi had not spoken for a long time. He promised, "I like Yu Ludai very much, and I will never wrong her!"
Wen Xi's heart wavered slightly, but she finally settled down. Without her status as a princess, Yu Ludai may not be able to marry someone with a high status in the future, but at least she can choose someone she likes. There are too many fights in the palace,
What Wen Xi fears most is that she cannot protect the safety of her children. So, she turns to ask: "Why does the emperor have to ask me to go back?"
Kangxi clenched his fists and suddenly shouted: "I like you, can't you tell at all?!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but be stunned. She suddenly felt that such an answer was a bit funny, but she couldn't laugh out loud.
"Except for you, I have never tolerated any woman like this!" Kangxi said these words, and his teeth itched with hatred.
Wen Xi smiled, pulled an embroidered pier over for herself, and sat down sideways: "Come today. I also plan to explain everything to the emperor - maybe if I explain everything clearly, the emperor will not like me."
There was ambergris burning in the study, and the fragrance was faint and refreshing with a bit of mint. It was very refreshing. The tea on the table had already cooled down for most of it, but I didn't mind it because it was warm. I took it and took a few sips slowly.
Then he slowly said: "I am not a kind person. If someone punches me, I will make him return double the punch! It can be said that I killed Concubine Tong, Concubine De, and Concubine Fu."
"I don't want to hear this!" Kangxi suddenly interrupted Wen Xi's words and said in a strong and authentic voice, "Let the past go by!"
"If the emperor doesn't like them, he can naturally let them go. Then, what about the empress dowager?" Wen Xi suddenly asked with a full smile.
Kangxi suddenly opened his eyes wide and hurriedly denied: "The witchcraft incident was the work of the Liu family. I have already found out the matter clearly, you don't need to blame yourself!"
Wen Nuan snorted and said: "I won't do useless tricks like witchcraft! If witchcraft is useful, the people in the palace don't have to work hard to fight. A doll can solve the opponent. Isn't that right?
Isn’t it more straightforward? I’m talking about Fu Shou Ointment!”
Kangxi said angrily: "I have found out more about the Fushou Ointment. Two boxes came from Concubine De, and the rest were donated by Sun Wencheng!"
Wen Xi nodded and said: "Yes, the source is not bad at all. It's just that I knew the use of Fushou Ointment early on, so I recommended it to the Empress Dowager!"
Kangxi then said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it!"
Wen Xi sneered, put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup with clouds and dragons in her hand, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Your Majesty is willing to believe even the nonsense about witchcraft. How come I have told the facts and yet you don't believe it?"
"You have no reason to do this!" Kangxi said without hesitation.
"Originally, it was, but since I got pregnant during my last tour to the south, everything has changed. The Empress Dowager hinted that I should call out the 10th Prince to be raised by Concubine Fu, but I refused, so we broke up with each other.
Then I became pregnant, and the Empress Dowager had pearl powder sprinkled outside Cining Palace in an attempt to get me to slip in. When the plan failed, she rewarded Xuan Pin with pearls. The pearl box was also smeared with pearl powder, so Xuan Bin
The concubine slipped and caused me to fall, but fortunately the eunuch caught me in time! No one was killed or two were killed!"
"But that's not what you said at the beginning!" Kangxi's voice became urgent, and he immediately said: "I don't believe that Queen Mother would do such a thing!"
Wen Xi smiled and said: "Believe it or not, it's up to the emperor. The emperor can ask Concubine Xuan after he returns to the palace. The box coated with pearl powder is still in Concubine Xuan's hands!"
"That's enough!" Kangxi suddenly roared, "Mother Huang has gone, I don't want to read this again!"
"It was I who killed the Empress Dowager, and then forced Concubine De to commit suicide! I am such a woman, does the Emperor still like me?" The corners of Wen Ru's mouth raised high, "Tear open the hypocritical face, and everything underneath is
It’s unbearable, and so am I!”
Kangxi's eyes fell on Wen Xi's face with a cold smile, the look in his eyes was wandering, and his mood was ups and downs, "I??? I don't believe it!" His tone at this time was no longer as firm as before.
"I don't need to taint myself! I was the one who killed Xiaozhuang! Instead of waiting for her to kill me, why don't I kill her first!" The gentle voice gradually became colder. She had no intention of killing Xiaozhuang.
I have no regrets. I will tell you all today to completely cut off the little remaining friendship in Kangxi's heart! No one would like the person who killed his grandmother, right?
Kangxi stroked his painful forehead and said slowly: "Why didn't you tell me when Madam Huang made things difficult for you like that?"
"Is it useful to tell you? Will you believe it? Even if you believe it, can you protect me? I'm not that stupid. Living in the harem, if you expect the emperor to protect you, then you will end up being the second Concubine Dong E! The emperor treated me like that before
So many promises, so many vows, no more wronging me, no more injustice! I have never believed it. If I had believed it, I am afraid I would have been killed by someone long ago! And the emperor has never kept it.
Keep your promise!"
Kangxi leaned on the desk, his head sinking more and more, and his breathing became heavy and painful. "I??? It's because I can't help you."
"To take a step back, if it was not me who killed the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother who killed me, then Your Majesty, would you avenge me? Will you let the person who killed me pay with his life?!" Wen
Xi asked.
"I??? can't do it." Kangxi said these words with extreme weakness and decadence.
"Yeah???" There was a hint of emotion in the gentle tone. "The Emperor can't do it, so I don't dare to rely on the Emperor. Faced with someone who wants to kill me, I have no choice but to do it myself!" Even if it's filial piety.
So what about Zhuang, Wenxi will not let a person who deliberately wants to kill her and her children live in this world!
They were silent for a long time, then Wen Xi took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve and put it on the table, "This is the last pill of returning Yang."
Kangxi suddenly raised his head and said, "Didn't I give it to Rongruo?" Nalan Rongruo was originally in critical condition. Even Gu Chengzong concluded that it would be difficult for him to survive the winter of any year, as all his internal organs were damaged.
The medicine has no effect, it's just a hard life! But after returning, Nalan Rongruo's face turned rosy, and the damage to his internal organs was completely gone. He was in a healthy state. Except for Yang Huan Dan, no medicine has such a resurrecting effect!
Seeing that Rong Ruo didn't have to die young, Kangxi was both happy and a little jealous! This cousin who grew up together had an extraordinary relationship with Kangxi, and Kangxi didn't want him to end up like this, but this woman actually put the last
A precious Yang-Returning Pill was given to Rongruo, how could he not feel sad?!
"Yes," Wen Xi nodded. She always admired Nalan Rongruo, the first poet of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and naturally she would not ignore death. Besides, Qinglan had already refined a lot of Huanyang.
Pill, and then changed his words and said: "It's just that what I gave to the Empress Dowager was a fake Yang-Returning Pill!"
Kangxi was silent for a long time, looked at the jade bottle, and asked: "What do you mean?"
"I'll give you the Returning Yang Pill to end our relationship. Please ask the Emperor to announce that Concubine Wen Xi has passed away after returning to the palace!" Wen Xi made her request, which was what she had wanted all along!
"Don't even think about it!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, then turned his head away without even looking at the Huanyang Pill.
Wen Xi smiled and said: "Isn't the emperor not interested at all in extending his life by ten years?!" It is now the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, and he is already thirty-six years old. As he grows older, he must have begun to notice that his body is not
Not as good as when he was young. The emperor is even more afraid of death.
"Of course I'm tempted!" Kangxi took a deep breath, "But I won't let you go!"
Wen Xi raised the corner of her eyes and said: "Why bother? I was the one who killed the Queen Mother. There is already a rift between me and the Emperor that can never be repaired. Even if we force ourselves to get together, we are not in harmony with each other.
What do you mean? Why not get together and part ways to avoid becoming enemies in the future."
Kangxi suddenly grabbed Wen Xi's wrist, and his voice couldn't help but soften a bit: "Everyone was at fault for what happened in the past, okay?"
Wen Xi couldn't help laughing, her smile was as bright as clouds, and she looked at Kangxi and said, "To be honest, can the emperor really not mind the death of the empress dowager?"
Kangxi's hand holding Wen Xi's wrist suddenly tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "I can't mind at all, but I'm even more unwilling to let go!"
"If I want to leave, the Emperor will not be able to keep me," Wen Xi said. "Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to deal with, but Wushan is not a cloud. The Emperor's feelings for me will definitely not be the same as before in the future. Why not cut the knot quickly and end this relationship?"
everything?"
Kangxi just held her wrist tightly and refused to let go. Once Kangxi accepted his death, he could not change it easily. Wen Xi was also very distressed. It was undoubtedly best to end the situation completely. He also
You can still get benefits. That pill of returning Yang is also genuine and definitely not the kind of Xibei stuff that Xiaozhuang had eaten at the beginning.
Wen Xi picked up the jade vase with one hand, poured out a Yang-Huan Dan that looked like a piece of ice carved jade, and brought it to Kangxi's mouth, saying: "I can see that your body has been strained in the past two years. After taking
Well, all internal diseases can be eliminated, and your life can be extended by ten years. You will know the benefits of this thing after you take it."
Kangxi turned away fiercely and slapped the precious Huanyang Pill off Wen Xi's hand, and the pill rolled and fell to the ground.
Wen Xi shrugged, hurriedly picked it up from the ground, and said, "Why, are you still worried that it's poison?" After saying that, she unscrewed a little bit from the top and said, "I'll eat some first and show it to you."
Kangxi said: "You can eat it all, and then come back to the palace with me!"
Wen Xi was stunned, she really had a headache now! Could it be that even the Huanyang Pill couldn't impress him? Kangxi was too stubborn, right?! Are all emperors like this?!
Kangxi looked at Wen Xi and said, "You had heavy bleeding when you gave birth to Yu Lu Dai, and you must have been injured in some way. You can be cured by eating it."
Now Wen Xi doesn't know whether to be moved, angry, resentful? Depressed?
Kangxi said quietly: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, Queen Mother is already very old. Even if she didn't have the Fushou Pain, she wouldn't have many years to live. What's more, she went there not long after Liu did the witchcraft! Fushou Pain
Although it can kill people, it won’t happen so quickly! It may not be entirely your fault!”
Wen Xi naturally wanted to kill Xiaozhuang, but Kangxi was actually trying to excuse her? Witchcraft was so taboo, did Kangxi still think that it was the culprit that killed the Empress Dowager?
"Aunt Sumala once warned Mama Huang to control the dosage of medicine. It was Mama Huang who didn't listen to the advice and blindly increased the dosage of medicine herself, so she got sick so quickly????" Kangxi sighed,
"There are many people in Jiangnan who are addicted to Fushou Ointment, and there are also many who have completely given up their addiction by their own will! It is Mama Huang who cannot withstand the temptation! And, I think, you are just trying to make Mama Huang
I am addicted to drugs and have no intention of harming you again!"
Kangxi's words did indeed mean something to Wen Xi. Xiaozhuang's blind overdose was indeed beyond Wen Xi's expectation. Death from Fushou Ointment did not happen overnight. If she had not taken too much, she would have lived until her real death date in history.
Almost the same. It's a pity that things in the world are often beyond people's expectations. Xiaozhuang died too quickly, so Concubine De died in a hurry, and the witchcraft also came in a hurry, which was why Wenxi left later.
The window on the west side was still open, but the wind had picked up at night, and the cold wind blew in, making the warm corners of her clothes dance. Today she was wearing a Han woman's attire, a coat and skirt, and a moon-shaped upper body with sleeves and collar.
She wears a short white dress with flowers, covered with a fox fur waistcoat to keep warm. The lower body is a Ruyi horse-faced skirt that is azure after rain outside the window. The hoop that presses the skirt corners rises and falls gracefully.
The moonlight is like a wash, spreading softly on the ground. Today is the fifteenth, a full moon. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
