Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

There was a cold look in Kangxi's eyes. As an emperor, he could clearly feel his sons' desire for his position, and they were even willing to kill each other.

He raised his eyes, took a deep look at Yixiu, and then said calmly, "Fourth Lady, you said Eighth Lady added something to your pregnancy-preserving medicine. Do you have any evidence?"

Because of Honghui, Yixiu often went to the palace to see Kangxi in recent years. Usually, Kangxi was kind to Yixiu, but today Yixiu could clearly feel Kangxi's anger.

Yixiu had already prepared herself mentally before she came. She knelt down and spoke in a firm tone.

"I beg Your Majesty to intervene for me. My eighth brother has tried to harm me more than once or twice. It was fine before, but now he wants to harm my child. As a parent, my child is my lifeblood. The eighth prince is a sinister and cunning person. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter."

After Yixiu finished speaking, the Fourth Prince also started to cry, "Father Your Majesty, I don't know how I have offended my Eighth Brother, allowing him to repeatedly reach out to my palace. If it weren't for Doctor Wen's timely discovery, I'm afraid that by the day of delivery, Yi'er would have died. By then, I would have lost both my wife and my son, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of the others in the palace. I..."

Some things don't need to be said out loud, just mention them briefly.

Kangxi felt that the Fourth Prince and Yixiu did not seem to be lying, and the words about losing both his wife and his son deeply touched Kangxi.

I know the pain involved better than anyone else.

The Eighth Prince was anxious. The Fourth Prince and his wife deserved to be sent to the Nanfu troupe to perform. It was a pity for this natural-born famous actor.

He also said aggrievedly: "Father, Imperial Physician Wen has been treating Fourth Sister-in-law. He is too deeply involved with Prince Yong's Mansion. How can his words be true? Not to mention that Fourth Sister-in-law is fine now, think about it. Empress Wang of Emperor Gaozong of Tang was framed by Wu. Wu gave up a child, but got the throne. Who knows if this is a self-torture trick by Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law."

Yixiu scoffed and retorted, "Eighth Brother, you have a real tongue! Could it be that in your eyes, everyone is as heartless as Wu Zhaoyi, or is it that you are just that kind of person, which is why you think of everyone like that? In my heart, nothing is more important than my children!"

If you want people to believe what you say, you cannot tell complete lies, but a mixture of truth and lies.

After hearing this, Kangxi's heart had already turned to Yixiu. He knew that Yixiu had always been a good mother, but he still asked someone to call Doctor Wen.

Doctor Wen trembled as he bowed deeply to Kangxi before explaining, "Your Majesty, when I was taking Fourth Lady's pulse the other day, I suddenly felt something was wrong with her pulse. The baby in her womb was doing well, but she looked a little weak. Generally speaking, if the child is doing well, the adult should also be doing well. This situation is very strange."

Before Doctor Wen could finish his words, the Eighth Prince interrupted him.

"The world is vast, and nothing is impossible. Imperial Physician Wen, can you guarantee that your opinion is absolutely correct? Based on this alone, can you jump to the conclusion that the Fourth Concubine was given a secret drug? Your Majesty, I beg you to summon all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to examine Fourth Sister-in-law and prove my innocence!"

Kangxi nodded, but said to the Eighth Prince meaningfully, "Old Eighth, it's good to be smart, but not too smart."

Kangxi was not an emperor who always stayed in the deep palace. He also visited the people in disguise.

When he was young, he had fought in many places and had heard a lot about some folk secret medicines.

Most of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau studied orthodox medical skills and knew little about these secret medicines.

But to be on the safe side, Kangxi agreed to the request.

At once, many imperial doctors came before the emperor and took Yixiu's pulse one by one.

An older imperial physician took Yixiu's pulse several times before standing up and saying, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Lady's pulse is indeed a little strange, but I have never heard of that secret medicine. However, the world is full of strange things. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, so I can't draw a conclusion. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

The other imperial doctors all said the same thing. After all, no one wanted to take the blame on themselves.

For a moment, the atmosphere was at a stalemate.

The Eighth Prince even insisted that the Fourth Prince and Yixiu were slandering him.

Although Kangxi believed in the Fourth Prince and Yixiu, he had no concrete charges and could not convict the Eighth Prince.

At this moment, Liang Jiugong came in from outside and said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, Lord Su requests an audience!"

The Eighth Prince's face instantly turned panicky. Su Chou! How could he forget about him?

But at this point, the Eighth Prince could only comfort himself that he had done a clean job and Su Chou should not be able to find out.

Su Chou strode forward and bowed respectfully to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I, Su Chou, pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."

Kangxi glanced at Su Chou hesitantly. He smiled, but it wasn't a smile. With a hint of teasing in his tone, he said, "I think Su Qing knows that your cousin has been wronged, so he came to me specially to help her!"

This sentence just happened to remind the Eighth Prince.

Yes, Su Chou is Yixiu's cousin after all. He can insist that this is a conspiracy between them and that he is being wronged.

Unexpectedly, Su Chou shook his head and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I came here today for an important matter!"

Kangxi immediately became interested. He asked with a half smile, "Can you tell me what the big deal is?"

Yixiu and the others also turned their attention to Su Chou. Unexpectedly, Su Chou said calmly, "I want to report that the Eighth Prince has bribed the court officials and colluded with the other princes, and has the intention of treason. I ask the emperor to investigate the Eighth Prince strictly."

The Eighth Prince was stunned. The only thing that made him happy was that Su Chou did not produce any evidence that he wanted to harm Yixiu, so he would not be punished.

But what Su Chou said would get him killed!!!

He didn't feel any pain because the knife hadn't stabbed him. Looking at the evidence handed over by Su Chou, Kangxi felt like his head was about to explode!

You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking that so many ministers are friends with the Eighth Prince, as well as the Ninth and Tenth Princes, including Khorchin of Mongolia…

These should only be the main reasons, there are many other intricate relationships. Kangxi really couldn't imagine that if one day the Eighth Prince wanted to become emperor, could he just wave his arm and drive his father off the throne?

Seeing Kangxi's face getting darker and darker, the Eighth Prince could only cry and explain: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. I just want to share your worries and serve the Qing Dynasty. I have absolutely no intention of being disloyal!"

After hearing this, Kangxi slammed the memorial viciously in the Eighth Prince's face and cursed, "Do you still have any rebellious intentions? You colluded with so many ministers! Don't think I don't know that you were also involved in the Crown Prince's dethronement!"
