Chapter 1660: The Empress Dowager Slipped 2
Kangxi entered the house, stood at the door, and looked at the old woman on the bed, sleeping there quietly, with her face up to her chin. She was really a monster.
"Tear off her face and see what kind of monster she is." Kangxi, who was well-informed and calm, quickly accepted the facts.
A silent eunuch appeared from his side. He stepped forward and wet the Queen Mother's face with warm water. He pulled the skin on the Queen Mother's chin with his orchid white jade fingers and slowly pulled it upwards...
Tear, tear, tear off the old skin to reveal the white and tender skin.
The process was actually quite enjoyable to watch.
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder will definitely enjoy watching it.
The skin was torn open, and underneath was white and tender skin that had not seen the sun for a long time, without any wrinkles.
It seems that the Queen Mother's skin is even better maintained than that of the Fourth Concubine.
After washing, a strange woman's face appeared under the Queen Mother's face.
After seeing it, Empress Dowager De suddenly said: "This, this, isn't this...isn't this the real Zi Gu?"
The Queen Mother was very superstitious about Zigu for a while in the past few years, so she often invited Zigu to talk to her. However, Zigu was very knowledgeable and would not stay in Beijing permanently. She would spend more than half of the year traveling around.
He ran away, so he wouldn't hurt Kangxi's eyes.
Those who had not seen Zigu in person in the past two years were not particularly surprised. They did not expect that she would turn into the Queen Mother.
"Could it be that this Zigu is really a goblin who ate the Queen Mother, took on the Queen Mother's skin, and pretended to be the Queen Mother in the palace?" Concubine Rong is indeed an amateur in storytelling, and this plot is simply top-notch.
Concubine Hui said: "That must have been that time. The Queen Mother was seriously ill and recruited the real Zi Gu. She has been in a daze since then and has not sobered up. It is probably because she had taken possession of the Queen Mother and was afraid that we would see the flaw.
That’s all.”
Concubine De said: "Yes, there was a time when the Queen Mother loved food very much in the palace. It is probably because Zhenren Zigu couldn't eat royal meals at ordinary times, so she ate so fiercely. Besides, after gaining weight, her facial features became a bit harmonious.
Normally it’s different and I don’t notice it. But then... why did it seem like it was."
Concubine Rong patted her chest, with a frightened look on her face: "I didn't expect Zi Gu to be a goblin. It's scary to think about it. She was so popular back then, and I don't know how many female family members she visited. I'm really lucky that I didn't feed her.
!”
"I guess most people look down on her."
Kangxi coughed, this is a vegetable market, you think I don’t exist anymore.
The third concubine quickly did not dare to say anything.
Kangxi was well-informed, and of course he would not think that this was Zigu's painting of a real person, a goblin, a man-eating ghost, but a disguise technique.
There must have been people like this under Kangxi.
But to be able to disguise herself as the Queen Mother like Zigu and not be discovered for so many years, I really don’t know whether it’s because she is a highly skilled person, or because everyone in the palace is blind!
Kangxi himself was not completely unsuspicious, but he felt that it was impossible for such a thing to happen, so he ignored it.
"Catch this woman and interrogate her carefully. Don't let her die." Kangxi added: "Take her back first!"
Kangxi glanced at the three concubines, his eyes majestic and very serious: "I'll leave the affairs here to you."
The three concubines looked at each other and knew that this was another bloodbath in the Queen Mother's Palace.
