The Virtuous Concubine

Before she could twist it, Malu couldn't bear to do it anymore and changed to wiping motion, trying to wipe away the tears on his face.

But he couldn't wipe it clean, because Rong Ji was still crying. He grabbed Malu's hand and led her to the shadow of the corner of the Imperial Hospital: "You are going to die! Sister is a daughter of a thousand gold, how can you take such a risk?"

Malu raised her head, trying to see Rong Ji's face clearly in the darkness, but could only vaguely see a silhouette: "For you, there is nothing I can't do."

She also felt that she was crazy, but she just wanted to come and see him. She relied on the system's positioning and video functions along the way, and asked Bai Fu to find her own clothes and waist badge for cover, so that she could get through safely.

To be honest, she and Nalan are really the same in this regard.

Strictly speaking, Rong Ji was her first lover in this life and the past. What's wrong with being willful?

Rong Ji was very worried: "What can happen to me? As long as my sister is safe, I will be fine."

As he spoke he fell silent.

Malu reached out and hugged him: "Rong Ji, I know your heart hurts, and I hurt too."

Rong Ji's body trembled slightly. He knew that he would feel pain, but he didn't expect that she cared about him so much, even to the extent of disregarding her own safety.

He hugged her back tightly, as if looking for comfort and strength. The two of them hugged each other quietly, time seemed to stand still at this moment, everything around them became blurred, leaving only the heartbeats and breathing sounds of the two of them.

But soon, Rong Ji forced himself to let go of Malu: "You'd better go back soon. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be. How did you get here?"

Malu tugged at the clothes on her shoulders, indicating to Rong Ji that this dress was the magic weapon that allowed her to get through safely, but she inadvertently loosened the collar a little.

She smiled and asked him, "You came here just like this, does it look good? This is the dress I wore when I was a palace maid, I didn't expect I could still wear it."

Rong Ji looked at her carefully again, and nodded without any perfunctory attitude: "It looks good. You look better than others in anything you wear."

When Malu heard him say this, and knew from his tone and expression that he didn't seem to be very concerned about what happened between her and Kangxi today, she felt relieved. She stood on tiptoes and kissed him, then turned and left, blending into the deep night under the protection of the system.

Rong Ji looked at her leaving figure and wanted to send her back, but he was afraid that he would attract other people's attention and end up making things worse. He hesitated and paced for a long time before going back.

He knew why she came, simply because she was afraid that he would be sad.

But how could he not be sad? Especially when she had just shown him her clothes like a treasure, with bite marks and purple and blue marks on the collar.

Even sadder.

But no matter how sad and concerned he was, he couldn't let her go.

After returning, Rong Ji started making plasters for pain relief, blood stasis removal and scar removal. When Zheng Taiyi got up at dawn, he saw a table full of bottles and jars.

On the way here and on the way back, the system that kept cursing couldn't stand them anymore: "I've had enough! If I had known this would happen, I would never let you have this crappy relationship."

Malu observed the surroundings, walked in small steps, and argued with the system: "What? Wasn't it you who encouraged me to pursue love?"

The system was a little furious after hearing this: "I wanted you to die, Kangxi, and talk about it after the mission is completed. Who told you to talk about it before you even gave birth to your child! Don't wrongly accuse Haotong."

When Malu heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then he asked the system with difficulty: "Then I still have three children to give birth to... but I don't really want to give birth to Kangxi."

The system was shocked: "Ah? What should we do then?"

Malu rolled his eyes and asked the system: "Does this child have to be Kangxi's?"

The system hesitated: "No... I don't know. Aren't you afraid that you won't look like him and people will suspect you? Rong Ji... is handsome and unique. What if the child looks like him? Wouldn't you be finished?"

Malu felt regretful: "That's true. Then..."

The system strictly stopped it: "Nalan Rongruo is not allowed either."

Malu found it a little funny. She had never thought about giving birth to a child for Nalan Rongruo. She just thought the system that was startled was cute, so she wanted to tease it and deliberately contradicted it: "Why is it not working?"

The system said earnestly: "Of course, Nalan's child could also look like Nalan Rongruo!"

Ma Lu didn't think so: "Of course I know, but Nalan Rongruo can explain it. You see, the eldest prince has similarities with Rongruo and Huifei. When the time comes, people will only say that the child looks like the eldest prince."

ah------

The system screamed like a groundhog: "Isn't that even worse! Your child looks like the eldest prince, or like the eldest prince but not Kangxi. Just thinking about it is a disaster!!"

Malu looked at the Yonghe Palace not far away and wanted to cover his ears. "It's just talk. You are not strong enough. If you have some magic golden finger, I can not only use magic to avoid physical contact with Kangxi, but also don't have to worry about the child."

The system was relieved. It was okay to scold itself for being incompetent, but it was not okay to walk on a dangerous tightrope.

Malu hid in the corner of the palace wall and imitated the calls of a gray forest owl twice.

"Goo-goo-"

Bai Fu, who was waiting inside, quickly opened the small corner door of the back garden of Yonghe Palace and let Malu in: "My queen! You are really making me anxious!"

Bai Fu was standing in the small garden wearing Malu's clothes, and next to her was Bai Xia who was equally worried.

Malu nodded: "It's okay, no one saw me along the way. I avoided the patrols of the Royal Guards."

Several people hurriedly walked into the house and quickly changed their clothes. Bai Xia dared to ask: "How did the queen know about the Imperial Guards - Oh~"

Bai Xia suddenly remembered the first-class guard in front of the emperor, and thought that it was Nalan Rongruo who told her master, so she kept silent, fearing that Bai Fu would ask her what was going on.

Malu glanced at Bai Fu nervously, and seeing her shake her head slightly, he knew that Bai Fu had not told Bai Xia where she was going.

After packing everything up, Malu lay on the bed with her heart pounding in her chest.

She closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing, but she couldn't fall asleep at all, so she chatted with the system: "You have three children left, are you really not going to have any more?"

Malu calculated with her fingers that the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince would be born soon. The Eleventh Prince was also from Concubine Yi, the Twelfth Prince was born to Wan Liuha, and the Thirteenth Prince... was born to Jingyi in history, so it was still too early.

She sighed, "I will give birth, but there is still a lot of time. I need to adjust my mindset first. I don't know how to face Kangxi or Rongji now."

The system can also understand this. After all, the tasker is still influenced by modern concepts. He will not be as calm as men or people in the Qing Dynasty who can accept dating multiple people at the same time without any psychological burden.

It thought about it and could only try to comfort her: "If you want to enjoy the happiness of having many wives, you can't have this kind of psychological burden, otherwise this happiness of having many wives will be meaningless. You don't have to feel sorry for Kangxi..."

She said quietly, "I feel I have let Rong Ji down. Moreover, every time Kangxi touches me, I feel sick."

The system then understood that the tasker had a knot in his heart!
