Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 81 Fainting and Three Children

In this extreme emotional state, Concubine Yi gradually lost her reason, and the news she received today became the fuse for her mental breakdown.

The note read: The Zasakdoro Prince of the Khalkha tribe requested to come to the capital to pay tribute, and the emperor gladly agreed.

The note fell from Concubine Yi's hand to the ground. The world in her eyes began to spin. The maidservant beside her rushed over and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone come quickly! Your Majesty has fainted!"

Concubine Yi realized later that I was the one who fainted. Then it went dark and I fell into a deep sleep.

After hearing the news, Kangxi, Noble Lady Guo Luoluo, the Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Fourth Princess all gathered beside Concubine Yi's bed and watched the imperial physician acupuncture Concubine Yi. The imperial physician stopped the needles and reported to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi fainted because of a moment of impatience and her weak health in recent days. After the acupuncture, we can wait for her to wake up naturally."

Kangxi nodded to show that he understood, and seeing the three children huddled together in panic, he couldn't bear to see them frightened, so he asked Noble Lady Guo Luoluo to take them back to her palace. Noble Lady Guo Luoluo felt sorry for the children, so she took them away in silence. The Ninth Prince wanted to stay, but was forcibly dragged away by the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Prince.

Kangxi sat beside Concubine Yi, who lay there with her eyes closed, having lost the energy to open them, and her pale lips made her look even more sickly. Kangxi couldn't help but touch Concubine Yi's long hair. Concubine Yi had always been good at dressing up and taking good care of herself, but now she looked haggard, which made Kangxi panic. He was older than Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi was old, so what about him?

When Concubine Yi woke up, she saw the bright yellow next to her and asked, "Why is the emperor here?"

Kangxi smoothed Concubine Yi's hair and said, "Such a big thing has happened here, how can I not come to see it?"

Concubine Yi knew that Kangxi was just trying to coax her, but she was a weak person and just liked to be coaxed. She smiled and scolded, "What's the big deal here?"

Kangxi liked the lively look of Concubine Yi when she smiled, and he spoke tenderly to her, "Everything about Nalanzhu is a big deal to me."

Concubine Yi was intoxicated by this atmosphere and didn't want to torture herself anymore. She stared at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, Galudai is fifteen this year. Isn't it time to find someone to look for him?"

Kangxi's smile disappeared. He didn't expect Concubine Yi to bring up this topic. He looked back at Concubine Yi and remained silent.

Concubine Yi did not move, tears welling up in her eyes. What Kangxi could not stand the most was Concubine Yi crying. Concubine Yi was bold and daring and did not cry easily. In the past, when they quarreled, Kangxi would soften his attitude as soon as Concubine Yi cried.

This time, Kangxi remained silent.

Concubine Yi grabbed his arm and begged, "When Yinqi was born, he was taken away. It was Garudai who comforted my heart as a mother. To me, she is my daughter!"

Kangxi placed his hand on Concubine Yi's hand, trying to calm her broken emotions.

But what Concubine Yi wanted was not comfort, but a promise, a promise to let the fourth princess stay in Beijing. But Kangxi could not give this promise.

Concubine Yi grabbed Kangxi with her backhand and asked sadly, "Isn't Galudai your child?"

Kangxi finally spoke: "But Chunxi, Rongxian, and Duanjing are also my children!"

Concubine Yi couldn't help but complain, and said sarcastically, "What are you going to do, Fifth Princess?"

Kangxi knew that Concubine Yi just couldn't accept this result, but it was still a bit embarrassing for Concubine Yi to point out the difference between the five princesses so bluntly, so he could only withdraw and leave, ordering: "Your mistress Yi has been stimulated, take good care of her and don't let her go out and catch a cold."

Since then, the atmosphere in the palace has been very bad. Everyone knows that the Emperor and Concubine Yi are having a quarrel.

The newcomers were amazed, thinking that Concubine Yi was so unscrupulous because of her favor that she dared to get angry with the emperor. The old people were used to it. When the emperor and Concubine Yi were young and had a good relationship, they had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. How could this be possible?

However, this time it was indeed different. Kangxi did not give Concubine Yi a gift, and Concubine Yi did not go down the stairs. Now it seemed that Concubine Yi had confined herself to her own house. She refused to bow to Kangxi, and Kangxi would not come to set up a ladder for Concubine Yi again.

The children in the palace were precocious. When the children in Yanx Palace learned that Concubine Yi and Emperor Kangxi had parted ways on bad terms, the three of them gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

The Ninth Prince was the most anxious: "Mother will definitely not offend the Emperor. There is a misunderstanding here. How can the Emperor not distinguish right from wrong?"

The Fifth Prince quickly covered his mouth. Little Nine was spoiled and dared to say anything. When she and the Tenth Prince were together, they were like two pieces of trouble-making meat. They were not afraid of being scolded at all.

The fourth princess looked at her two brothers. The fifth prince was raised by the queen mother to be honest and simple, while the ninth prince was just a clever one and could not do anything. Moreover, the fourth princess suspected that the consort Yi's closure of the palace was because of her marriage. Such speculation made the fourth princess restless. How could a child let her mother suffer?

She just patted her butt and got married, but Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo still had to live and die in this deep palace. The palace was full of snobs. Without the favor of Kangxi, how could Concubine Yi, who was so proud, tolerate the neglect of the servants?

The fourth princess' silence caught the attention of the ninth prince, "Fourth sister, why don't you say anything? Do you agree with me and think that the emperor is wrong?"

As he spoke, he shook off Fifth Prince's hand and said disdainfully, "Fifth Brother, please don't come here. Your hands smell like sweat."

The Fifth Prince grew up with the Empress Dowager and had no enlightenment. When he first entered the Shangshufang, he could only speak Mongolian. Now he can speak Chinese, but he speaks slowly: "Ninth brother, the walls have ears, so you should not talk nonsense about your elders."

The fourth princess mustered up her courage and said, "My mother might have done this for me."

This sentence attracted the attention of the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was puzzled: "What could Fourth Sister do to anger the Emperor?"

The Fifth Prince knew that the Fourth and Fifth Princesses had gone out, so he pursed his lips and asked, "Is it because of the marriage?"

The Ninth Prince saw that the Fifth Prince knew everything and he was the only one who was kept in the dark, so he scratched his head anxiously and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

The fourth princess explained: "My mother wanted me to stay in Beijing, but Galdan in Mongolia has evil ambitions."

Although the Ninth Prince was still studying, he still knew some of the major events of the previous dynasty, especially the national war against Galdan. When he heard about it, he regretted that he was not old enough and could not gain military merit like the older princes!

But now, before he could even see the war of the previous dynasty, his sister was about to be sacrificed first.

The Ninth Prince stopped teasing the Fifth Prince and asked in a hoarse voice, "Has the Emperor decided?"

The fourth princess said calmly, "There is no choice but to go with those families in Mobei."

The Ninth Prince jumped off the kang and was about to rush out, but was stopped by the Fifth Prince. The Fourth Princess also held him back, "What are you going to do?"

The Ninth Prince's eyes were red and he was breathing heavily, "I'm going to find the Emperor to argue..."

Pah! A crisp slap. It wasn't the fourth princess, but the fifth prince who had no idea what to do.

He asked in Mongolian: "What are you arguing about? Now that my mother has stayed at home, you still want her to run around for you?"

The Ninth Prince tilted his head and said loudly, "So are you going to watch your Fourth Sister marry into a barren land like you did in such a cold-blooded way?"

The Fifth Prince was trembling all over at his words, but he still said firmly: "You can't go! If you want to go, I will go!"

After the Fifth Prince understood the situation, he knew that he had been abandoned by Kangxi. But now his mother could not be touched, and as an older brother, he had to protect his younger siblings.

The fourth princess looked at the confrontation between the two brothers, and she felt very peaceful. Her mother and brothers all loved her. Galudai, you can't let them continue to sacrifice. You don't want to stay in the capital and be a canary that can't fly, right?
