Chapter 1686 Influence

At that time, she climbed step by step from the court lady to the position of empress dowager.

Her humble status as a maid of honor brought her a lot of inconvenience and cold eyes.

Even if she gave birth to one child after another, she could not raise them by herself.

The child she had worked so hard to give birth to became someone else's son.

Just because Empress Tong Jia was noble but barren, her fourth child was brought up under her knees.

It wasn't until later that she was promoted step by step in the harem that she had the right to raise her own children.

However, it was only raised in her yard, and most of the time the nurse was looking after her.

And when the children are a few years old, they will be taught by those teachers.

Because she was favored, the emperor's heirs were born one after another, which became her bargaining chip to win over the royal family and the basic ladder for her promotion in the harem.

The son born in October after a hard pregnancy was taken away by others before he had time to hold him for a while.

That's all, after the key's own son was raised, he still disliked her identity.

This kind of pain is unbearable for any mother!

Because of this, she hated Tong Jia's women all her life.

I hate that they were born noble, and belonged to one of the eight major families in Manchuria.

I hate them even more for taking away her first son, and hate them for instigating her son into an unkind and unfilial person who doesn't recognize her as his mother!

Others can laugh at her humble background, but her own flesh and blood can't!

If someone told her that the emperor did not recognize her as a mother, she might still be suspicious.

But back then, it was the sixth elder brother who told her personally.

She asked sixth elder brother why he didn't play with fourth elder brother when he was studying in the study.

The sixth elder brother said angrily: "Huh! The fourth brother said that Queen Tong Jia treated him well, and only Queen Tong Jia was his mother. He said that you are humble. Without you as a mother, my son would not want to play with him!"

For this matter, she was angry for a full month, and she didn't think about food or tea.

Later, it's not that she didn't think about asking Sixth Brother to verify this matter.

But the sixth elder brother had a serious illness and passed away.

Although she thought so in her heart, the queen mother still questioned: "Concubine Xin, could it be that the queen bought you and asked you to say so?"

Ruoyin pulled her lips, and was about to say something, when Concubine Xin replied, "Queen Mother, you are already like this, and you have no right in your hands. The queen bribed your concubine to lie to you. What is she trying to do? She didn't lie at all Your motive!"

"The Empress is nothing more than complaining for the emperor and feeling wronged for the emperor. She wants to reveal the truth of this matter and ease the mother-child relationship between you and the emperor."

"After all, this matter is like a thorn, deeply pierced in the hearts of you and the emperor. You are over half a hundred years old, so you can't let this thorn stick you forever, right?"

"This time, the concubine also brought a maid here. This maid was the personal maid of Concubine Xian's life. Listen to what she has to say."

So, the court lady knelt down, followed Concubine Xin and said, "Queen Dowager, what Concubine Xin said is true. After Empress Tong Jia passed away, Concubine Xian wanted to raise the emperor, but Grandfather didn't agree." .”

"It wasn't long before Concubine Xian conceived a child once, but because of an accidental miscarriage, it was gone. This miscarriage hurt her body and she couldn't have another child. And when Concubine Xian had a miscarriage, St. The ancestor stayed in your house, so she hated you."

"In addition, in the next few years, you were quite favored by the ancestors. Almost every one or two years, you gave birth to an emperor's heir, which deeply hurt the concubine. She became jealous and wanted to make your family unhappy. It’s better to provoke the relationship between you and the elder brothers.”

"Do you still remember the sixth elder brother's nanny?" the maid asked the queen mother.

The queen mother nodded, "Of course I remember, that nanny has a gentle personality and is very patient with the sixth elder brother, and the sixth elder brother is also very clingy to her, but unfortunately, she fell ill and passed away at a young age. …”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother paused slightly, as if thinking of something.

Her eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be that that nurse was the one who instigated Sixth Brother, so she was murdered by Concubine Xian?"

"Exactly." The palace maid replied affirmatively.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the Empress Dowager was a little shocked, "Thanks to the fact that I saw that she took the sixth elder brother well, I don't know how much money I rewarded her, but she actually betrayed the Ai family! And not long after her death, the sixth elder brother of the Ai family Elder brother is gone too, could it be that sixth elder brother was also killed by her?"

Without waiting for the maid to answer, the queen mother asked herself and answered, "But the imperial doctor showed the sixth elder brother what happened back then. Did the sixth elder brother die because of an illness?"

As she said that, the queen mother stared at the maid, desperately wanting to know the answer.

Maid: "That's not the case. Concubine Xian just doesn't want you to live comfortably in the harem. She said that she has no children under her knees, and your children are born one after another. She wants to see you breaking up with your children, watching you Your sons and daughters are at odds, I think your life is not going well."

"In addition, although you let the nanny take care of the sixth elder brother, you are strictly guarded about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if the imperial concubine wants to do something, there is nowhere to do it."

The Queen Mother sneered, "So, did Concubine Xian have this idea?"

Maid: "This slave doesn't know, but I know that although Concubine Xian hates you, she never wanted to kill the lives of the harem and the emperor's heirs. Presumably, she never thought of killing Sixth Brother either."

If the Queen Mother didn't believe Concubine Xin's words before.

But now, what the maid said is convincing, and many things are consistent with the past, and the Queen Mother has to think about it.

Ruoyin was sitting in an armchair, and she saw an expression of annoyance and remorse on the queen mother's face.

To be honest, when she heard what Concubine Xin said, she couldn't believe that a gentle and kind concubine like Concubine Xian would do such a thing.

Concubine Xian knew that Concubine De cared about children, and knew that children were best to be coaxed, so she bought the sixth elder brother's nanny and provoke the relationship between sixth elder brother, queen mother, fourth master, mother and son.

And this strategy was undoubtedly successful.

Because even after the sixth elder brother passed away, this incident was like a thorn, deeply piercing the queen mother's heart, affecting the queen mother and fourth master for decades.

It even affected the brotherhood between the fourteenth master and the fourth master.

Although Concubine Xian is gone, she has no children in her life and suffered from gynecological diseases. I don't know if it is retribution or what.

Ruoyin was in a daze when she saw the queen mother leaning on the bed, and Concubine Xin and the others had already explained the matter, so she was ready to go back home.

As for the rest, it depends on what the Queen Mother thinks, how she does it, and how she gets along with her son, Fourth Master.

So, she stood up and said to the queen mother: "Okay, what should be said has been clearly stated, and the concubine will not stay here any longer. Take care of yourself."

As she spoke, she led the people and turned around to walk outside.
