Rong Fei is not honored

"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead."

"I would like to borrow someone from you, anyone. When the day comes, accompany me to see Concubine Borjigit."

Kangxi frowned, looking somewhat unhappy, "What are you doing? Can it be that I don't believe you?"

Ji Nai smiled in a flattering way. "I am afraid that something might happen that day, so I asked your people to accompany you. If something really happens, we will have a witness."

Kangxi tapped Ji Nai's forehead and said unhappily, "If you are afraid, why do you still want to go? Why not just refuse directly?"

"After all, I have a history with Borjigit's concubine, so I can't bear to refuse."

Seeing Ji Nai's dejected expression, Kangxi could not help but hug her and comfort her, "Life and death are all determined by fate. The Imperial Hospital has indeed done its best. This is her fate."

Perhaps Kangxi's words were a little cold to Borjigit concubine, but this was not his fault. Before Borjigit sent someone, Kangxi had already made it clear that he did not want another Khorchin noblewoman to be a concubine in the palace.

But the Empress Dowager and Khorchin insisted on doing so. Even if the people arrived, Kangxi would not change his original intention.

The Borjigits would become victims.

Borjigit concubine looked at Ji Nai in front of her, her expression a little dazed, she hadn't changed at all in the past two years, it seemed as if they were talking and laughing just yesterday. But after feeling the pain in her body, she realized that the past could no longer be returned.

Especially as he walked step by step into the abyss, Qi Qige raised his hand with difficulty to touch his face. The pearl on the grassland had become rotten in this deep palace.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?" Qiqige suddenly felt a little tired and didn't want to talk about the past with Ji Nai anymore. No matter how sincere the friendship was at that time, it was no longer necessary. "I want to tell you that it was the Empress Dowager who killed me."

Ji Nai was so shocked that she stood up subconsciously. She felt that the next words might not be for her to hear, so she wanted to leave immediately.

Seeing her actions, Qi Qi Ge laughed at her and said, "You are still so cowardly. Don't worry, it's not the secret you think. I mean that the Empress Dowager has cut off my chance of survival."

"Life?" Ji Nai was a little puzzled. The Empress Dowager was probably the one in the palace who wanted Concubine Borjigit the best, so why would she cut off her life, and what life was it?

"My way of survival lies in you. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. It is you who made me realize that there are other ways to survive in the palace. When I am with you, I feel alive and warm. I am not exaggerating. You are my last hope."

"But the Empress Dowager has dashed my hopes." Qi Qige looked a little crazy. "You probably don't know, but the reason I was poisoned before was because the Empress and the Imperial Kitchen Manager arranged something that would counteract my poison."

So that's why. No wonder Esen, who had been doing well in his previous life, suddenly fell from power. I didn't expect that Uya had connected with the Hesheli family so early. No wonder Defei was so consistent with Kangxi's preferences in all aspects. But I didn't even know a lot of things at the time, so I just thought it was just a coincidence.

Later, I heard about the conspiracy theories of later generations, and I was half-believing and half-doubting, because it was just speculation without any evidence. But now that I know that the queen had been connected with Uya for a long time, all those doubts can be explained.

Even if the banner families jointly cultivated Consort De, they could not have known all of Kangxi's preferences. But if the queen helped, it would not be surprising.

After all, Kangxi and Empress Hesheli had a very good relationship in his previous life. The people who knew Kangxi best were not those who were the first to accompany Kangxi, but the empress who worked hand in hand with him.

"But in fact, the Empress Dowager knew about it a long time ago. She didn't stop it. Do you know why?" Qi Qige smiled strangely, "It's also because of you."

"Why? I don't see how this has anything to do with me?"

"Because the Grand Empress Dowager thought that the Queen had set up this trap to harm you, and you have a son, which is what the Grand Empress Dowager wanted. Once you commit a crime and are punished, you will die, whether you are afraid of the crime or feel guilty. If you die, Chengrui will be without a mother. Who do you think this child will be given to?"

"Your Majesty will not hand over the child to Korchin, at least not Chengrui." The reason why Ji Nai said it so confidently was because Chengrui was the only prince among Kangxi's brothers. If anything unexpected happened, Chengrui would be the heir.

However, the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty must not have any relationship with Khorchin. He must not be born to a Khorchin noblewoman, nor must he be raised by a Khorchin woman.

This was a signal that Kangxi had already clearly sent out, so Ji Nai said it without hesitation. She was not afraid even if the young eunuch went back and repeated today's conversation.

"But what if His Majesty finds out that you are innocent and that it was the Queen who plotted to harm you? In order to protect the child you left behind, will His Majesty find a powerful backer for the child?"

Yes. Ji Nai closed his eyes. If this was true, Kangxi would definitely feel guilty and blame himself. Even if he knew that his suicide was not an accident, he would still hand Chengrui over to the Grand Empress Dowager, because the Grand Empress Dowager was the only one in the palace who had the ability to ensure that Chengrui grew up safely.

"What a pity. The Empress Dowager didn't expect that the Queen would be so crazy. She poisoned me just to lure out all the pregnant concubines. What she really planned on were the heirs, so she didn't put any thought into you."

Qiqige was somewhat amused. "It's a pity that a person like the Grand Empress Dowager could allow the Queen to use such a simple method to capture all the pregnant concubines. All the children were lost just because of a fall. How ridiculous."

Ji Nai knew, however, that it was not as simple as she said. Just to get all the concubines together, one had to control the timing very accurately.

Furthermore, it was not just one fall, but so many people fell together, pressing the pregnant concubine at the bottom, and her stomach suffered a violent impact. This time, she could not be saved before the imperial physician arrived.

But being able to achieve this extent shows that the concubines she chose who leaked the news were the most suitable ones. This is the real strength of the queen. Her understanding of human nature is truly terrifying.

"So that's why you distanced yourself from me and Zhongcui Palace?" Although it was a question, Ji Nai used an affirmative tone.

"Yes, I can't hurt you. As long as you and I are close, the better our relationship, the more likely it is that the Empress Dowager will persuade His Majesty to let me raise your child after something happens to you."
