"No, it's impossible, this, it's impossible! Dorgon, it's Dorgon and the others, it must be Dorgon and the others, deceiving the emperor and ignoring the superiors, deceiving the emperor and neglecting the superiors!"

Gaizhou City is more than four hundred miles away from Shengjing City. The messenger cavalry sent by Dorgon set off from Gaizhou City in the afternoon and arrived in Shengjing City that night.

Such an urgent military message from the front line of Prince Rui Dorgon's army, no one dared to delay or block it, so that night, it was sent to the Shengjing Palace, and then presented to the Qing Dynasty without any hindrance.

In the hands of Lord Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji, who was in Qingning Palace, was leaning on layers of mats on his back, lying half on a big bed, with his mouth that could no longer be completely closed, looking at Queen Borjijit of Qingning Palace.

Zhe held up the candle specially and shakily opened the report that Dorgon had sent to Beijing overnight.

However, he had just read a few lines when suddenly the veins on his forehead were exposed, he opened his eyes angrily and started yelling.

"Abatai, his whereabouts are unknown?! All the Niulu troops led by Abatai were wiped out?! How is this possible? How is this possible?!"

In just half a year, Huang Taiji, the puppet emperor of the Manchu Tatars, completely changed into a completely different person.

The original big-faced face with big ears and dignified appearance has disappeared, and the fat, pig-liver-colored face is now so thin that it looks a bit out of shape.

Moreover, while her cheeks are sunken, her thinned face is drooping, coupled with a pair of big eyes and a mouth that can't be closed and drooling, she still looks half like a human king.

Last winter, Huang Taiji suffered a stroke, which left him with a lot of sequelae. In addition to hemiplegia and difficulty in moving, his facial expression also looked very strange.

His right eye was normal, but the eyelid of his left eye was always drooped, and he couldn't open it wide no matter what. He had to look up and squint to see people.

At the same time, I don’t know which facial nerve was miswired, causing his mouth to grin from the left to the side and unable to close normally.

This makes him somewhat out of breath when talking, and when he is anxious, he coughs and wheezes and cannot speak clearly.

However, Queen Borjijit's Zhezhe of Qingning Palace and Zhezhe's niece Bumubutai, the concubine of Yongfu Palace, who had been with her for a long time, had gradually become accustomed to Huang Taiji's current appearance.

After guessing, I was able to understand what he meant.

At this moment, the two of them heard the words shouted by Huang Taiji, and saw his excited and violent appearance. Their beauty suddenly turned pale, and they quickly stepped forward to support Huang Taiji.

One of them put down the candle in his hand and quickly rubbed Huang Taiji's chest with his hands to help him calm down and prevent him from losing his breath.

The other one also hurried forward, stood under the edge of the Kang, leaned over and took the report from Huang Taiji's hand, and then handed him a small bowl of soup.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, it's important to take care of your dragon body."

The very young concubine of Yongfu Palace, Borjijitbumubutai, lost no time in passing over a bowl of soup while talking.

However, Huang Taiji, who was burning with anger, did not appreciate it at all. He stared angrily with one bulging eye and waved his arm violently. He heard a clang and the soup bowl fell to the floor tiles under the edge of the Kang, smashing to pieces.

The decoction was also spread all over the bed, floor and body.

Huang Taiji's crazy expression and sudden actions frightened the young and beautiful Zhuang Concubine Bumubutai, and she took a few steps back and knelt on the ground.

"Pass it, pass it to the inner courtyard, and the great scholars Fan Wencheng, Xifu, and Gang Lin will come to the palace to see me immediately."

Huang Taiji finished speaking these instructions almost word for word, then lay down on the big kang panting, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

At this time, the beautiful middle-aged woman in a gold-embroidered palace flag dress knelt on the outside of the big kang. While continuing to massage Huang Taiji's forehead, she said softly:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. What Da Yu'er said is right. No matter how big a thing is in the world, how big can it be when it comes to the Emperor? It's more important for the Emperor to take care of his dragon body."

This middle-aged beautiful woman is none other than Huang Taiji's Dafu Jin or Queen Borjijit's Zhezhe, and the Da Yu'er she refers to is naturally the one who was pushed away by Huang Taiji just now, breaking the medicine bowl, and was so frightened.

Concubine Zhuang Bumubutai kneeling on the ground.

After Queen Zhezhe said this, she saw that Huang Taiji was still breathing heavily and could not calm down at all. Then she turned to Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai who was kneeling on the ground and said:

"Da Yu'er, please go and personally arrange for the palace officials to go out and deliver the message. Please ask Mr. Fan and others to enter the palace as soon as possible to see the emperor."

"But, Madam, it is already late at night. It may not be appropriate in terms of etiquette to invite foreign ministers into the palace at this time."

Zhuang Fei Bu Mu Butai was not an ordinary maid, she naturally had her own perspective when considering issues. However, when she said this, she once again angered Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji, who was lying on the kang panting, suddenly struggled to sit up, with an angry eye wide open. He used his hand that could still move independently to take something out of his arms and threw it towards Bumbutai.

He passed by and shouted at the same time:

"Take it, take it, call Fan Wencheng, Xifu, Gang Lin, come into the palace and see me!"

The thing Huang Taiji threw over was a white jade waist badge that he had worn when he was making Four Belles. Ever since he became the Great Khan and Emperor, this waist badge had become his most personal token.

At this moment, the white jade belt hit Zhuang Fei Bumu Butai's chest, causing her chest pain. However, she didn't dare to complain. She immediately said that I obeyed the order, got up, and retreated out of the door.

At this time, Queen Zhezhe sighed inwardly when she saw Huang Taiji's furious look, and said to Concubine Zhuang Bumubutai who was about to exit the door:

"Da Yu'er, you can just ask someone to do the edict. Go to Guanju Palace in person and see if Concubine Chen is resting. If she is still awake, invite Concubine Chen to accompany the emperor in a while.

"

After Zhuang Fei Bumu Butai heard this, her body froze, feeling disappointed and sad. She then bowed to Huang Taiji and Queen Zhezhe who were on the kang, then turned around and left the bedroom of Qingning Palace.

Huang Taiji's original temper was not like this, especially when dealing with his concubines in the palace. Huang Taiji was always as graceful and generous as the warm spring breeze.

In particular, he loved a few women from the Borzijit family in the Horqin Grassland, and would not easily become cold-hearted or angry.

However, in the past few months, the situation has changed dramatically.

Needless to say about the external physical changes, today's Huang Taiji has long lost the appearance of the heavenly emperor that made Bu Mu Butai fall in love with him in the past.

However, these physical conditions and changes in appearance were secondary. After Huang Taiji suffered a series of strokes that caused him to suffer from crooked mouth, eyes, and hemiplegia, the changes that occurred in his heart were the biggest changes.

Huang Taiji, who was originally self-proclaimed, no longer had the extreme self-confidence he had before that he thought he was blessed by destiny, and his temper became more and more irritable, weird, and unpredictable.

Not only was he full of fear and suspicion towards his brothers, nephews, and subjects of the Eight Banners outside the palace, but also the concubines living around him in the palace no longer had the warmth, gentleness, and affection of the past.

In addition to his attitude towards Hai Lanzhu, the concubine Chen of Guanyong Palace, who was still as gentle as ever, he was often furious with the other concubines in the palace, and he would often vent his anger on those around him.

And every time he got angry, only Concubine Chen Hailanzhu of Guanju Palace could calm him down.

This situation made the young concubine Zhuang Bumbutai secretly jealous.

Of course, the more emotions in her heart were sadness and disappointment.

She is the only one among Huang Taiji's five officially canonized concubines who has given birth to a son.

But her status in Huang Taiji's heart is inconsistent with this fact.

Huang Taiji's body is now like this, but he still keeps calling Concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu to sleep with him, and also wants Hai Lanzhu to get pregnant again and give birth to the heir he wants.

This made Bumbutai feel dissatisfied.

It's not that she has any dissatisfaction with her biological sister Hai Lanzhu.

The eighth prince Hai Lanzhu gave birth to to Huang Taiji died when he was less than one year old. She was also a poor person, and it was understandable that she wanted to give birth to another child to have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

However, Huang Taiji completely ignored the ninth son of the emperor who was born to Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai, and treated each other so favorably that she couldn't bear it.

If the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Su Hauge, is still alive, then Concubine Zhuang Bumbutai, the biological mother of the emperor's nine sons, will not say anything. After all, her son is too far away from the throne of the Qing Dynasty.

However, now, the emperor's eldest son, Prince Su Hauge, has died, and Huang Taiji's other named concubines have no sons. Among the existing concubines, the most distinguished one is Fulin, the direct son of Zhuang Concubine Bumubutai.

.

Under such circumstances, Huang Taiji was obsessed with having a son as his heir with Concubine Chen Hailanzhu. How could Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai not be disappointed and dissatisfied?

Let's just say that tonight, it was originally her turn to sleep in the Qingning Palace, but looking at the situation now, the person sleeping in the palace became Concubine Chen again.

In this regard, Bumubutai certainly did not dare to say anything. She could only follow the orders of Huang Taiji and Queen Zhezhe, and while sending a female officer to the minister on duty in the outer court to deliver the message, she turned around and headed to Guanju Palace in front of her to find him.
