The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 75 Domineering Protection of Son

Seeing the trembling wet nurse kneeling at the bottom, Kangxi felt sorry for a moment, but when he thought of the large boxes that had been placed in the room before, his heart hardened in an instant.

Kangxi: "Nurse, do you know why I called you here today?"

Hearing Kangxi's emotionless question, Guaerjia was stunned. She had not been asked this question for many years, or rather, since the little emperor grew up, no one dared to ask her this question.

She was the wet nurse who nursed the little emperor, accompanied him to the farm to avoid smallpox, the current emperor's wet nurse, and the Guaerjia nanny second only to the emperor in the Qianqing Palace.

Guaerjia did not answer. She really didn't know what the reason was. After being in power for a long time, it was difficult for her to lower herself and always guess what Kangxi was thinking.

Kangxi knew the wet nurse wouldn't explain clearly, so he waved Wei Zhu to bring him over. Wei Zhu moved quickly, dragging the half-dead man into the house. With a thud, the man was thrown to the ground, not far from Guarjia.

Guaerjia was frightened by the voice, and seeing that the other person was dirty, she couldn't help but move to the side.

Kangxi: "Wet nurse, do you know who this is?"

Guaerjia looked down, then covered her nose with a handkerchief. After a few glances, she stopped paying attention to the other person and looked up to reply to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I don't know him. How can such a filthy person get close to Your Majesty? Wei Zhu is not a good brat. Why don't you drag him away!"

After saying this, he ordered Wei Zhu to move the people away in front of Kangxi. Wei Zhu stood quietly by, without saying a word or moving, as if he were a wooden stake.

Kangxi sneered: "Wet nurse, you'd better take a closer look. Otherwise, if he is really dragged out, you will regret it later, what will you do?"

Guaerjia was not stupid. When she heard Kangxi's obvious hint, her heart skipped a beat. She knelt down to the man, ignoring the man's dirty clothes, and used her hands to push aside his scattered hair, revealing the familiar yet unfamiliar face.

It felt familiar because he always saw this face when he looked in the mirror, but it felt strange because the figure and posture of the man in front of him had nothing in common with the tall and mighty son in his impression.

However, a closer look reveals that everything about the other person matches his son's characteristics: there is a small mole between his eyebrows, a small scar on his chin, and even his earlobes show the typical protruding ears of the Hala family.

At this moment, Guarjia couldn't help herself any longer and stepped forward to hug the man who had fallen to the ground: "Son, you are my son, Shan Gu, is that you, son?"

The man on the ground groaned as Guaerjia shook him, then slowly opened his eyes. When his eyes focused, he found that he was actually lying in his mother's arms.

At this moment, he could no longer care about his own injuries. He could not help crying out to Guarjia: "Mother, mother, you are finally here. You must take care of your son! My son was beaten for no reason by evil people. All the good things we have accumulated were stolen. Please go and tell the emperor to send people to bring back the culprits. Your son wants to see those bastards torn into pieces with his own eyes."

Guaerjia hugged her son distressedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away. I'll definitely help you get revenge when the time comes."

Hala Shangu: "Then the whole family will be exterminated. I can't bear this loss. Oh, it hurts."

Guaerjia was distressed and angry. For a moment, she forgot the current situation and shouted to the eunuch guarding the door: "What are you still standing there for? Go and call the imperial physician."

Wei Zhu couldn't help but gasp as he listened nearby. Liang Jiugong, who had sharp ears, overheard and quickly elbowed him. Wei Zhu almost cried out in pain, but then realized he had been reckless. Fortunately, his master had reminded him. Otherwise, if the emperor got angry and punished him, even his master wouldn't have been able to save him.

When the young eunuch outside heard Guaerjia's order, he quickly turned his gaze to Kangxi. At this time, Guaerjia followed the young eunuch's gaze and found that Kangxi had been staring at them with a gloomy face.

Kangxi's face was already very bad when he was listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, especially when Shangu said that he would exterminate his entire clan, which instantly made Kangxi's face as dark as ink.

At this time, he didn't want to ask any more questions. He just thought that he was blinded by the servant. Otherwise, how could such a stupid and ignorant person steal his things under his nose?

Kangxi: "Liang Jiugong."

"The slave is here."

Kangxi: "Guarjia has failed to educate her son properly and allowed him to steal from the imperial treasury. In three days' time, he will be beheaded. Considering the kindness of Guarjia in breastfeeding her, I will spare her death sentence, but I will not be able to escape punishment. I will send her to the imperial farm to feed the horses, and I will not allow her any leave."

After Liang Jiugong responded, he called a few guards to drag the mother and daughter away. Only then did Guaerjia realize that the emperor had noticed that she had stolen from his private vault, and he had no intention of exposing the truth. She immediately threw herself to the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Shan Gu is still young and ignorant. He will change. Please don't take his life. Your Majesty, do you still remember how your wet nurse treated you? You can't repay kindness with hatred. Those are just external things. How can they compare to the love between us as mother and son!"

The Empress Dowager said: "Shut up, you are just a wet nurse, a mere servant. How can you have the right to talk about mother-son love with the Emperor? A servant is just a servant. When did my son have anything to do with you?"

Before Kangxi could get angry, the empress dowager's furious roar came from outside the gate. With the support of Nanny Naren, the empress dowager quickly walked into the inner hall, stretched out her foot and kicked Guaerjia hard, kicking her directly to the side.

The Queen Mother then came to the Emperor's side, tightly grasped Kangxi's arm with one hand, and sternly said to Guaerjia, "You have such a wicked ambition! I shouldn't have been soft-hearted when the Emperor asked me to keep you. Look at all the good things you've done over the years. If I hadn't cared about the reputation of the Prince and the Emperor, I would have dealt with you long ago. All these years, not only have you been ungrateful, but you've also tried to cause trouble. Let me tell you, with me here today, no one can keep you."

After saying that, he shouted at Liang Jiugong, "Hurry up and cover her mouth and drag her away."

The Queen Mother spoke, and Liang Jiugong did not hesitate at all. He had nothing suitable to gag Guaerjia's mouth, so Wei Zhu suddenly had an idea and took off his two shoes. Under the watchful eyes of his master, he stuffed them into the mouths of the mother and son, blocking all the crying and shouting.

Everyone in the room stared at Wei Zhu's actions in amazement. Seeing the mother and son being dragged away, their eyes nearly rolling in disgust, they couldn't help but shudder. At the same time, a thought occurred to them: Wei Zhu is a ruthless person!

After everyone left, the empress dowager asked the servants to close the door, leaving only the empress dowager and the emperor and his mother in the room.

The Empress Dowager said: "When you left today, I was wondering whether I should follow you. You are still as stubborn as when you were little, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. I don't know if you still remember that before you were three years old, you were actually raised by me for a while. At that time, Concubine Tong was not in good health and could not protect you. At that time, the harem was dominated by Dong E. In order to prevent the Emperor Shunzhi's family from being cut off, the Empress Dowager secretly gave you to me to raise.

I was still young at that time. How could an eleven-year-old girl understand what it meant to take care of a child? I was still a child at that time."

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile. "Back then, you were already very sensible. After you came to my palace, you never acted naughty or complained. Even if the food in my palace didn't suit your taste, you would still try your best to eat your fill. Later, when you were sick, I consulted the imperial physician and found out that a three-year-old child couldn't eat such hard beef jerky and couldn't digest it. It was then that I decided to find a professional wet nurse to take care of you. After careful selection, I chose one and the Empress Dowager chose another. I chose the honest and docile Guaerjia, and the Empress Dowager chose the loyal and flexible Sun.

Later on, it was proven that they took good care of you. Even though you later left the palace to avoid smallpox and unfortunately contracted it, you never fell ill again after recovering from it. When you got married, the Empress Dowager suggested that the wet nurse be released from the palace, and Sun Shi was very obedient and went out. However, this Guarjia Shi used a little trick to show you that she didn't want to leave you, and you were so moved that you stayed.

In fact, I should have taken a firm stance and driven her away that year, but your feelings for her were too deep at that time, and I, as your legal mother, did not dare to take the risk, so I kept delaying it until today.

I came here today to tell you that no matter whether you resent me in the future or don't want to bother with me, I just want to resolve the unfinished business of the past and drive her away. I have a clear conscience!"

The Queen Mother sat on the couch, speaking in a very domineering manner, but her eyes kept looking away, not daring to look Kangxi in the eye, so she didn't realize that Kangxi's eyes were full of smiles and satisfaction at this moment.

Kangxi stood up gently. The empress dowager, who heard the noise and felt the movements of the people beside her, didn't even glance at him. She just lowered her head and looked at the chrysanthemum embroidered with gold thread on the front of her clothes.

Without letting the Empress Dowager wait for long, Kangxi knelt directly on the footstool in front of the Empress Dowager and buried his head in her arms: "Imperial Mother, I will never blame you. I am just happy that I am also a child who has a mother who loves me."

Hearing Kangxi's words, the Empress Dowager felt bitter. It was all Shunzhi's fault. If it weren't for his behavior, he would have favored Concubine Dong E, and later took his anger out on Concubine Tong because of the death of Dong E's son. Now, Xuanye should also be a child who is loved by his mother, instead of losing Concubine Tong so early and becoming a real lonely man.

Moreover, before leaving, Shunzhi did something that made her feel disgusted. He forced Xuanye to swear that he would not allow anyone except the Empress Dowager to get close to him, especially the Mongolian concubines.

During those years, she had always secretly watched Xuanye's growth in the Empress Dowager's palace, his first wedding, his first time ruling, his first time becoming a father...

Later, Xuanye became a qualified emperor, and she became a qualified mascot, and she only needed to stay in Ciren Palace all day long.

Seeing Xuanye gradually having children and grandchildren, she began to let go of the entanglement in her heart. As long as Xuanye lived well, what did it matter whether there was a mother-son relationship or not? Anyway, even if there was no mother-son relationship in this life, it was enough for her to be his mother in terms of etiquette and law.

But she never expected that this Guaerjia family, at this age, could actually cause such a big trouble for Xuanye. This was intolerable, and she came here on impulse and sent the Guaerjia family away in front of Kangxi.

What surprised her was what Kangxi had just said. She was extremely satisfied when she heard Kangxi's words. She thought that the happiest moment of her life, except for the time when she was young and riding horses on the grassland, should be this moment. She finally became the mother of the little Xuanye!
