The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi
Chapter 179 The Queen Mother
Harigana wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't utter it. After all, there was no such twists and turns in Dulan's eyes as in Li Dequan's.
After taking the medicine, Kangxi began to sweat again. Li Dequan and Xiao Lizi changed him into dry clothes and wiped his body.
After all this trouble, it was almost dawn.
"Miss!"
Li Dequan looked at the still unconscious Kangxi and quietly woke Harigana. It was almost the morning hour, and the palace gates had already been opened. The court officials were about to enter the palace!
Harigana half-closed his eyes and took a long time to wake up.
The person beside him still didn't seem to be awake. He glanced at the sky and said softly, "Li Dequan, go to the Queen Mother immediately and tell her that the Emperor has given her the order. Tell her that the Empress of Qingxi Palace fell down deliberately. Tell her to keep an eye on the harem. Without the Emperor's permission, no one can leave their palace!
Then have the Imperial Guards surround the Qingxi Palace. Anyone who breaks in will be apprehended, regardless of their identity! No one should be harmed; just lock them up.
As for the previous dynasty, according to what I said last night, if anyone causes trouble, just arrest them directly on the charge of disobeying the imperial edict. Don't bring up the matter of the twins unless it is absolutely necessary. Let them jump around as much as they want, so that you won't be passive when the time comes.
Go! Li Dequan, I believe in you! "
Harigana didn't know what would happen in the next two days, but she knew that her reputation was completely ruined.
Li Dequan responded without any doubt about Harigana's words.
Although he is now faking the imperial edict, a woman can stand up for the emperor in such a situation. If he is timid, he is not a man at all!
After leaving the inner hall, he looked at Dulan, who was full of nervousness, and smiled, saying silently: Don't worry! Then he turned around, changed his expression to be icy, and walked out.
After a while, Qingxi Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and those sharp-eyed little palace maids and eunuchs hid themselves, fearing that they would be implicated.
Afterwards, the empress dowager issued an imperial decree, canceling the greetings and requiring all concubines to stay in the palace, not allowing anyone to go out.
Harigana had not originally intended to falsely convey the imperial edict to the Queen Mother, but she was afraid that if the Queen Mother and the Grand Empress Dowager sent someone to see her because of the twins, they would be so smart that they would definitely guess that something was wrong.
If she had her previous personality, she might have asked Li Dequan to go directly to the Empress Dowager and let her preside over the matter.
But that old witch didn't like her. God knew if she would take advantage of Kangxi's coma to fabricate false evidence or stir up something to drag her into the water.
In the entire palace, apart from Kangxi, no one did not want to deal with her, so it was better for her to do it herself.
Harigana did the right thing. The Empress Dowager received the news when she woke up in the morning, saying that her child might be in danger. She also thought of asking Su Malagu to go and see in person to see whether the situation was really bad or whether she wanted to use this incident to cause trouble for Kangxi.
When the Empress Dowager came to tell him Kangxi's oral instructions in person, she was so angry that she threw a teacup directly to the ground.
Fortunately, there are many tea bowls in the Cining Palace, otherwise the Empress Dowager might be the first person to spend money to buy them!
In the previous court, when the ministers saw Li Dequan, they were still wondering why he was standing at the gate of Qianqing Gate instead of serving the emperor. As a result, they heard a voice that made everyone speechless: "The emperor has issued an oral order. Because the imperial concubine's unborn child is in danger, the court is adjourned today. My lords, please return!"
As soon as Li Dequan finished speaking, older ministers such as Tong Guowei were filled with shock.
Since the Emperor took power, he would not cancel his court sessions even when he was sick. Now, he canceled his court sessions just because of a child!
Especially Soetu, although he lowered his head, he was already thinking about whether to take action when Harigana's dragon fetus was in danger. In this way, Yinreng's position as the crown prince would not be shaken!
"Nonsense! Your Majesty, this is nonsense!"
The censor stood in the center, kneeling on the ground and loudly rebuking.
"The Emperor actually stopped attending court for a concubine. How will the people of the world view him? Eunuch Li, please ask the Emperor to attend court in person. He cannot be influenced by that evil concubine and ruin his reputation!"
Li Dequan, reminded by Harigana, looked at the censor with a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly. Then he looked at the officials standing behind him and said, "My ministers, do you share the censor's opinion? When I see the emperor later, I will explain it to him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the timid officials quickly retreated.
Didn’t you see that Lian Suo’etu and Tong Guowei didn’t say anything? What do they need to worry about?
One is the prince's in-laws, and the other is the emperor's in-laws. Since neither of the two major families has spoken out, they are even less qualified!
"Admonisher, I advise you to go back. The Emperor is currently worried about the dragon fetus. What do you think?"
Li Dequan thought to himself, I have already advised you, if you still don’t know what is good for you, then don’t blame me for having you arrested!
The censor was still kneeling on the ground, refusing to move. Li Dequan understood instantly.
"Come here, pass on the emperor's oral order. The censors are guilty of insubordination. If they do not obey the emperor's oral order, they will be arrested and suppressed!"
As soon as Li Dequan finished speaking, two imperial guards came in and dragged the censor away.
"My dear ministers, I will return to serve the Emperor!"
The scene of the censor being taken away made the officials present at a loss as to how to respond. Only after hearing Li Dequan's words did they come to their senses!
After leaving the Qianqing Gate, Li Dequan's legs went weak. If he hadn't had the young eunuch supporting him, he might have fallen to the ground.
Back at Qingxi Palace, Harigana had just finished breakfast and was now feeding Kangxi porridge. Although it was a thin soup, it was better than an empty stomach.
After seeing Li Dequan coming back, her uneasy heart finally settled down.
"How about it?"
Li Dequan did not hide anything and told her everything that happened at Qianqing Gate and everyone's reactions.
"Just lock him up first, don't hurt him, and explain everything!"
"Yes! I obey my command!"
The Empress Dowager was already very angry about the oral order, and now when she heard that Kangxi did not attend the court, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Su Malagu, go and call Xuanye to me!"
Su Malagu responded quickly, fearing that the Empress Dowager would really faint.
"Grand Empress Dowager, please don't get yourself sick from anger! I'll go right away!"
Su Malagu actually felt that the emperor might not come. For the sake of the imperial concubine, the emperor didn't even attend the morning court, so how could he possibly come to the Cining Palace!
But she didn't dare say this, there were some things she couldn't say!
