Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!
Chapter 1061 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (98)
"Why are you so sure, Imperial Noble Consort?"
Consort Yi looked puzzled. "Perhaps they've all been locked up."
Or they have already been murdered.
"impossible."
Consort Wenxi gently shook her head, "Given how many princes they kidnapped, they must have had a purpose."
Since there is a purpose, it cannot be done quietly.
They will eventually let everyone know why they kidnapped so many princes.
So the fact that there's no movement means they're safe.
"It would be nice if that were the case."
Consort Yi smiled bitterly, "Suffering a little is nothing, as long as I can return safely in the future."
In the end, it all comes down to...
I want to complain...
In the end, reason prevailed and she stopped.
Some things are known to everyone, but saying them out loud or not makes a world of difference.
No matter how much resentment she harbored, Consort Yi could only swallow it down.
She knew that she, her child, and her family could not withstand the wrath of an emperor.
"Alright, don't overthink it."
Consort Wenxi gently comforted her, "You should learn from Consort Liang. Since you think she's different..."
Just go along with her.
I believe this will protect you and the children.
"I understand."
Consort Yi nodded gently, "No matter who it is for, I cannot act recklessly."
"That's right!"
……
Consort Yi returned to Yikun Palace and began to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion.
Day after day.
Both the imperial court and the harem were incredibly oppressive.
Emperor Kangxi also stopped entering the inner palace.
Occasionally, after paying respects to the ailing Empress Dowager.
Even if he wanted to favor a young concubine, he would summon her to the Qianqing Palace.
This atmosphere didn't gradually dissipate for several months.
Time flies.
Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Emperor Kangxi finally dared not depose his sons again.
At most, they would verbally attack their sons.
Even the Fourth Prince was almost driven to despair by his scolding.
As for the ninth, tenth, and eleventh brothers, they are all lazy bums who like to do business.
Although he was often scolded, he would send a sum of money to Emperor Kangxi each time.
They always handled things with care.
The other princes didn't have this good fortune.
Especially the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth princes, who were practically cannon fodder.
As for now, it seems that Kangxi still hasn't thought about passing the throne to anyone.
As time progressed to the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
The Empress Dowager is seriously ill.
All the concubines took turns attending to the ailing emperor.
Two imperial concubines form a group.
Consort Hui and Consort Yi were in one group, while Li Siqi and Consort Xuan were in another.
Then there are the imperial concubines, also in pairs.
Because there were enough concubines, each person only had their turn about every two weeks.
They saw the Empress Dowager, who was already unconscious.
Li Siqi also knew that her lifespan had come to an end.
In feudal times, living to seventy or eighty years old was considered a great blessing.
The Empress Dowager before us is indeed a blessed person.
Although she was not favored by the late emperor after entering the palace.
However, she enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and honor, making her more fortunate than any other empress dowager in history.
this day.
Li Siqi was caring for the sick for the second time.
Because Consort Xuan was quite old, she took care of her during the day.
That evening, Li Siqi took care of the sick man.
The other concubines were the same; one would guard the daytime and the other the nighttime.
Although the concubines were supposed to attend to the sick, they did not actually need to do any of the work themselves.
All you have to do is sit and wait.
Everything else was handled by the palace maids and nannies.
"Liang, Consort Liang!"
Suddenly, shouts rang out.
Li Siqi immediately opened her eyes and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I am here!"
"water!"
The Empress Dowager cleared her dry throat and uttered a sentence.
"it is good!"
Li Siqi's words had just fallen.
The palace maid standing nearby immediately brought over a cup of warm water.
This is ready to drink anytime.
Li Siqi took it.
I took a look at everything inside the cup.
There was nothing unusual, so he served her the drink.
"Will you stay by my side tonight?"
After drinking a glass of warm water, the Empress Dowager seemed to feel much better and began talking to Li Siqi.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen."
Li Siqi nodded in agreement. "What do you think?"
Do you need some bird's nest porridge?
Should we summon the imperial physician?
The imperial physicians were on duty at Kangshou Palace 24 hours a day.
The imperial physician can be summoned at any time to examine the patient and save their life.
"I am indeed a little hungry."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Have someone send me some porridge."
"Yes!"
Li Siqi nodded and looked at the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid immediately turned and left.
The small kitchen in Kangshou Palace also prepares various kinds of nutritious porridge.
The Empress Dowager can eat it whenever she wakes up.
Take advantage of this time.
Li Siqi suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't we invite the imperial physician over?"
"Well, it's up to you."
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, "With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."
"Your Majesty flatters me."
Li Siqi responded with one sentence, not daring to say anything more.
I only used a little bit of spiritual energy just now.
Just so she can endure it for a few more days.
At the very least, Li Siqi didn't want the other person to take their last breath while she was taking care of them.
The imperial physician was quickly summoned.
After carefully taking his pulse, he talked about a bunch of trivial things.
Actually, everyone knows what's going on.
The Empress Dowager's days are numbered in the next few days.
After the imperial physicians left.
Li Siqi checked the delivered bird's nest porridge and found nothing wrong with it.
The palace maids were instructed to serve the Empress Dowager her food.
Perhaps because she had food in her stomach, the Empress Dowager's spirits improved considerably.
She immediately dismissed the palace maid.
Looking at Li Siqi, she said, "Consort Liang, I know my days are numbered."
They dared not ask for a long life.
At my current age, I am already content.
"What did Your Majesty say?"
Li Siqi gently comforted her, "You have a long life ahead of you."
"Your Majesty, I would also like to spend more time with you."
"You have a heart."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I know you are a clever child."
You've spent half your life in the imperial harem, so you've lived a relatively comfortable life.
I know you hold a special place in the Emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?"
Li Siqi gave a wry smile, "In my life, I have only ever adhered to two words: duty and responsibility."
Your concubine is someone who walked out of Kangshou Palace.
I only wish to be as cautious and conservative as Your Majesty the Empress Dowager.
"Of course I know."
The Empress Dowager smiled happily upon hearing this, "That's why I said you're a smart person."
With your intelligence, protecting yourself is easy.
Consort Xuan was getting old, so the Fourth Prince was also registered under her name.
I have no idea what the future holds.
I will not do anything to put you in a difficult position.
No matter what situation you face in the future, I hope you can protect Consort Xuan.
Don't let her suffer a miserable old age.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, such a thing will definitely not happen."
Li Siqi comforted her, saying, "Your Majesty, I dare not make any promises. I can only say that I will try my best to make Consort Xuan live the same kind of life as I can."
Please do not worry about Consort Xuan.
We'll all be fine.
