Villains of the Heavens: The Empress Dowager Is Pregnant

Chapter 42 Your Majesty, the princess is happy
Shunzhi was attacked in Wutai Mountain, which made Kangxi furious.

However, Wutai Mountain is close to the border of southern Yunnan, and it is the territory of Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi.

Rao Kangxi was furious in his heart but didn't dare to speak out. He really rushed back to the capital with Shunzhi's remains as Chen Xuan thought.

Kangxi had just rushed back to the capital, so he didn't have time to deal with all the affairs.

Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty outside Qianqing Palace, reminded.

"My lord, Ao Zhongtang has been visiting in the past few days, saying that there is a happy event to report back."

"Happy event? What happy event can he have?!"

Kangxi spoke angrily, but for a moment the little eunuch didn't dare to say anything.

Maybe because he noticed his emotions, Kangxi's face darkened, and he waved indifferently.

"not see."

"Yes." The little eunuch agreed and turned around to leave.

Kangxi beckoned again, "Wait...call him over, I have something to ask him."

"Yes." The little eunuch hurriedly agreed, looking at his face with a smile on his face.

How could he be unhappy, after all, Chen Xuan had already greeted the little eunuch.

Just say that he has been looking for Kangxi a few days ago, if he can be summoned by Kangxi, Chen Xuan will reward him with a bounty.

The little eunuch didn't know the reason, so he just passed on a word, so naturally he made up a sentence.

In fact, Chen Xuan rushed all the way back from Mount Wutai in eight hundred miles, but he was not much faster than Kangxi.

But between the little eunuch's words, it seemed that Chen Xuan had been in the capital these days.

Kangxi didn't wait long.

Chen Xuan led Princess Jianning into the palace.

Kangxi's tiger eyes were full of anger, and he glanced at the two of them, then indifferently retracted them, and asked lightly.

"I heard that Ao Zhongtang has been looking for me to announce the good news for the past few days, but unfortunately I feel cold and have no chance to meet each other. I don't know what the good news Ao Zhongtang wants to say?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister and Princess Jianning are in love with each other and have a very strong relationship. She has recently become pregnant, and I am here to announce the good news."

"is it?"

Kangxi's reaction was very dull, and he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of clear tea.

On the one hand, when Jianning asked to marry Oboi, Kangxi looked down on her as a royal sister.

Furthermore, because of Shunzhi's death, Kangxi's lingering hatred was hard to quell.

This time he rushed back to the capital, in fact, he wanted to find Chen Xuan, the Oboi, to question him.

After all, Shunzhi abdicated to become a monk and lived in seclusion in Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain. This news was told by Aobai.

Only four people in the palace know about this matter, one is Chen Xuan, Oboi, the other is the Empress Dowager, and then he and Wei Xiaobao.

Now that Shunzhi was assassinated, how could Kangxi not suspect Chen Xuan?
I just didn't want Chen Xuan to take the lead and bring Princess Jianning to announce the good news.

Although Kangxi faintly felt that Princess Jianning was pregnant, it was a bit too coincidental.

But if Chen Xuan indulged in having fun with Princess Jianning these days, then the suspicion of murdering Shunzhi would naturally be cleared up a lot.

Kangxi's face darkened, and he didn't even have time to be courteous to Princess Jianning, so he waved directly.

"Okay, I already know about this. Jianning, go down, I have something to discuss with Ao Zhongtang."

"Brother...I..."

Princess Jianning had a bitter face, and felt a little sad for a while.

She was already very depressed to stay alone in the palace these days, but she didn't expect Chen Xuan to come back suddenly last night, forcing her to pretend to be pregnant, and even made up some excuses for her.

Princess Jianning was squeamish in her heart, and she didn't want to talk to her at first, but after Chen Xuan cleaned it up, she finally convinced her.

Unexpectedly, after preparing for the whole night, Kangxi didn't even ask her a word.

Princess Jianning faintly felt that her brother, the emperor, seemed to be separated from her.

For a while, I felt even more sad.

But Kangxi has the appearance of an emperor, how could he think about the feelings of brothers and sisters who are separated from each other?

Seeing this, Princess Jianning could only salute, turned around and left aggrieved.

....................................

Princess Jianning just walked away.

Kangxi suddenly dropped the teacup in his hand, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", Kangxi shouted angrily.

"Oboi! What should you do!"

"Your Majesty, what is your crime?"

As soon as the teacup fell, Chen Xuan was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and said in panic.

"Also ask the emperor to make it clear."

"You still dare to ask me? Oboi! You secretly hired assassins to follow Xiao Guizi and attack and kill the emperor, how dare you make excuses!"

"You are wronged! Your Majesty! The old minister has been accompanying Princess Jianning in the mansion today, and has never left the mansion for half a step."

"You haven't left the capital, can't you send your subordinates there?"

Kangxi slapped the table suddenly, very annoyed.

It's just that under this continuous pressure, Chen Xuan felt certain and secretly thought.

"It seems that Kangxi has no evidence, and he is full of these frightening empty words, otherwise he would have done it long ago."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan pretended to be surprised.

"Dare to ask the emperor, have you found the former emperor?"

"..." Kangxi was cold and speechless.

Chen Xuan, however, was very good at acting, and he burst into tears.

"I think back in the past, several of our veteran ministers assisted the late emperor to ensure that the great power was not lost, and the Qing Dynasty would not change. I don't want the late emperor to hide from the world in his prime, and let the emperor provoke the burden of the country in Kyushu."

When Kangxi heard the words, his eyes hesitated slightly, and he vaguely thought of his experience of succeeding to the throne as a teenager.

The most important thing is that Chen Xuan's bitter plan can be regarded as a reminder to Kangxi.

He, Obai, was one of the four ministers who were left behind by Shunzhi and was the most trusted minister of Shunzhi.

Even if Oboi is now arrogant and arrogant, ignoring the imperial power, he really intends to compete with Kangxi for power.

The person Aobai wanted to assassinate would not be Shunzhi, but Kangxi.

Amidst the ups and downs of his thoughts, Kangxi looked up but with tears in his eyes, he quickly stepped forward to help Chen Xuan up, and cried.

"Ao Zhongtang, my father was intercepted by assassins at the foot of Wutai Mountain. I was very anxious and lost my sense of proportion. Lord Zhongtang forgive me."

"What? The first emperor was assassinated! Where is he now, and what are his injuries?"

"..."

Kangxi said nothing, just shook his head slightly.

Chen Xuan took advantage of the situation and knelt down on the ground again, crying out Shunzhi's name a few times.

For a while, Kangxi was heartbroken and burst into tears.

It's been a long time.

Chen Xuan sneaked a glance at Kangxi, and seeing Kangxi's expression calmed down, he tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the former emperor is now powerless to recover, but this matter is of great importance. Now there are undercurrents surging in the world. The Han people perish and the Qing Dynasty will not die. They use the slogan of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty to entangle many people. The assassination of the first emperor cannot be simply dismissed."

"However, only you, Zhen, Xiao Guizi and the Queen Mother knew about the fact that the late emperor became a monk in Wutai Mountain that day when Ao Zhongtang told about it. Could it be the Queen Mother..."

"Your majesty, why did you suspect the old minister and the queen mother instead of the little eunuch who ran errands?"

"This……"

Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't recover for a moment.

Chen Xuan saw it and sneered in his heart.

"Wei Xiaobao, this time I want to see how you die!"
