Chapter 6 Struggling
She had been condemned long before she came here, and she was the fish in it. No matter how hard she struggled to her death, she could not escape.
After Nanny Su finished speaking, Xiaozhuang said, "Ms. Wei, what else do you have to say?"
Wei Jue completely gave up and calmed down: "I have nothing to say. I am greedy for money and blinded by oil. I am trying to make a fool of myself. I have made such a big mistake. I ask the Empress Dowager to punish me and the Emperor to punish me."
Xiaozhuang smiled slowly and looked at the person kneeling on the ground. She was pale and lying on the ground, but her back was stiff and straight, and her fingers turned white when pinched. She was really a person with a bad temper.
Son, it doesn't matter, no matter how stubborn the person is, she can get rid of him. She asked slowly: "Emperor, what do you think?"
Kangxi smiled: "From my grandson's perspective, she didn't make a big mistake. She just picked the wrong person to enter the Chuxiu Palace. Furthermore, the draft is a happy event, but we can't let the palace be destroyed before it starts."
The inside and outside of the palace are stained with the smell of blood, so, except for the duty of her aunt in charge, she should be sent to the same place as her duty."
Xiaozhuang turned his head and said softly: "Emperor, is this punishment too light?"
Kangxi lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Imperial grandmother, my son, the emperor, should be more submissive and gentle."
There was not even the slightest sound of breathing in the hall. Wei Jue felt that as soon as the sound reached his ears, a cold air rose from the soles of his feet and spread to the whole body. The roof beams carved with gold and jade seemed to be coming from above.
And the pressure came down, crushing her to pieces.
His voice was still so pleasant, but there was no emotion at all, only a chill that penetrated his bones.
But she understood that his punishment actually made her life worse than death. She had offended too many people in Xingzheku. If her aunt in charge was stripped of her authority, she would be bullied by others in Xingzheku. Those people
, those who in the past only dared to insult her behind her back felt like they had received the order of forgiveness, and when she returned there, it was like returning to the wolf's den.
This method of killing without blood can make her live in panic every day, spend every day in suspicion, and even panic when she sees other people's eyes.
Wei Jue slowly raised his head, straightened up, lay down on the brocade mat, and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not taking your life. I accept the order and thank you."
Xiaozhuang waved his hand, "Go down."
Wei Jue stood up slowly. Although his feet were numb, he tried his best to stand firm, relaxed his face, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out of the hall.
Xiaozhuang watched her figure disappear behind the palace door, and couldn't help but show appreciation in his eyes. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Emperor, this is a sensible person. He knows that you didn't want her life, nor did you spare her. She replied
What would she encounter when she arrived at the Xingzheku, but she had already made up her mind in an instant to continue fighting... She was panicking in her heart, but when she walked out, Si Hao couldn't see her defeat. She went back,
Maybe we can really fight to create a new world..."
There was no emotion in Kangxi's eyes: "Isn't she called Emperor Zhen? Let her have a taste of what it's like to be a grandson and a son."
Xiaozhuang sighed, with a slight pity in his eyes. He reached out and patted the back of Kangxi's hand: "Emperor, this is a man who tells the truth. How did we get here all these years? How did grandma get here?
, you all know, and I also understand in my heart, we shed tears to our stomachs despite this seemingly glamorous appearance, but we still have to live like this."
Kangxi held her hand and absorbed the warmth from her dry palm: "My grandson understands, grandma."
"Isn't this woman amazing? The Ministry of Internal Affairs should also deal with it. Those people are so outstretched that they really treat our family as an orphan and a widowed mother? The Ai family hopes that she will
It can stir up a pool of troubled waters!”
"Grandma, are you talking about the Chief Superintendent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"They treat our royal family as the eyes of a blind man, and treat the royal family's things as their own. This time, we have to clean it up at once!"
A cold light suddenly appeared in Kangxi's eyes, with a resolute expression on his face: "You are right, their hands have already reached my harem. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the commander of the guards are in one, and fortunately the library belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs
The government is in charge, this time..."
Xiaozhuang nodded appreciatively: "So, Wei Jue, you have to keep her alive. She has offended too many people. Letting her go is like putting her into the wolf's den. But this woman's methods are eclectic.
As long as they bite, we will have a chance."
Kangxi's face was as cold as ice. He raised his head. The lights in the palace fell on his side face, covering his face with a layer of soft light. It made his handsome eyebrows and eyes look colder: "Grandma, you
That’s right.”
"In this draft, grandma is watching and choosing the best ones for you. Grandma just wants to find you some companions who will accompany you, understand you, and become a family with you, so that your life will not be so bad."
Fortunately, when grandma is old, there must be someone to accompany you."
A warm current flowed through Kangxi's heart, "Grandma Imperial..."
He bent down and lay on Xiaozhuang's knees, just like he did when he was a child. When he was eight years old, he sat on the dragon throne for the first time. After returning to the court, he lay on her knees like this, calming his panic.
Once you calm down, you will be able to muster up the courage to sit on it again next time.
Xiaozhuang looked at his side face and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. He ascended the throne at the age of eight. She knew what kind of life he lived. He had lost his innocence early and only had responsibility left on him. In the eyes of others,
, He is the most noble emperor, but she knows what that position means to an eight-year-old child. It means that it is a felt filled with needles. This palace is her battlefield, so why not
his?
In this battlefield, there is no distinction between young and old, let alone sympathy.
"I never thought that everyone would show up. Grandma hopes that you can find someone you like, who can manage this harem for you, and don't let those people stretch their hands so far..."
As Xiaozhuang talked, she became a little sleepy and closed her eyes slightly. The light in the palace shone on her head through the hollow-backed chair, reflecting the green color of her emerald hairpin and highlighting her gray hair.
The hair and the layers of wrinkles on his neck made Kangxi's eyes feel hot. He raised his head and pushed the heat straight into his stomach. His eyes gradually became clear and sharp. He reached out and took out the handbag hanging on the chair behind him.
The brocade quilt with the word "Shou" was placed on her body and she slowly walked out of the Shouqing Palace.
...
When Wei Jue returned to Xingzheku, she was escorted back by two nuns. She knelt down in the yard with her head bowed. Under the gaze of the Xingzheku slaves, she listened to Li Degui, the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, announce:
"The Emperor's grace is great. Your aunt Wei, who is in charge of the affairs, was found out by the emperor because she formed a clique and secretly manipulated the draft. She was removed from the position of the administrator. The emperor was merciful and did not punish her. He only released her back to the treasury of the lucky ones.
