Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 113 Qiqige Dies

Qiqige suddenly laughed, and his laugh was somewhat desolate. "How good is this? You and I have suddenly become distant. Everyone knows that we used to be good friends. It's just that there's no reason for this. Naturally, people will secretly speculate whether something has happened. In the end, they will no longer think that you and I have a good relationship."

"Why do this? You can just tell me straight." Ji Nai felt a little distressed.

"You know, there used to be someone close to the Grand Empress Dowager around me, so that day I asked her why she didn't tell me about food incompatibility. The Grand Empress Dowager clearly said that she knew some medical knowledge, but she said that these were all ordered by the Grand Empress Dowager."

Qiqige closed his eyes, tears falling from the corners of his eyes. "The Empress Dowager said that the tiny amount of poison would not kill me. The Empress Dowager saw my attitude clearly that day. She knew that if I continued like this, I would never sit idly by and watch you fall into their trap. So she told me her plan to make me realize that we are not on the same path."

"Although my behavior angered the Grand Empress Dowager, she actually didn't care much. I know she is still waiting for an opportunity. Even without me, she, the great-grandmother or the Empress Dowager, can still have a chance to raise the child. That's why I told you the truth today to remind you to be careful."

Ji Nai's eyes were moist, "I'm sorry, and thank you."

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat sad. Qi Qige deliberately raised his tone and drove people away like he used to: "Okay, you've stayed long enough, go back quickly, don't let Chengrui wait anxiously."

"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"No need, our relationship doesn't need to be that good."

Ji Nai was a little stunned, but finally nodded in agreement. When she reached the door, she suddenly heard Qi Qige shouting, "Ji Nai! Call my name again!"

Ji Nai couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She choked back her sobs and said, "Qi Qi Ge!"

"Ugh."

When Ji Nai came out of Ningshou Palace, her body was a little weak. Yu Sheng used a lot of strength to support her master and prevent her from collapsing. Fortunately, she came in a sedan chair today. Ji Nai leaned on the back of the chair, just like usual, but her eyes were a little red. But it was normal to have such emotions when visiting a seriously ill person.

"I can't go back after all." Qiqige murmured to herself. She was talking about the little eunuch beside Ji Nai, whom she had seen before, beside the Emperor.

Qiqige suddenly felt a little resentful that he had always paid attention to the emperor, so he even remembered the insignificant eunuch beside him. It would be great if he didn't remember, so that he could have a dream before he died.

Soon, the maidservant beside Concubine Borjigit brought in a nanny from the next room. "Go back and tell the Empress Dowager that you have been staying by my side, listening to me and Ma Jia reminisce about the past and rekindle our friendship."

"How dare I deceive the Grand Empress Dowager!" The nanny knelt down immediately. She had a bad feeling when the princess locked her in the side room before. She didn't expect that the princess would actually want her to lie to the Grand Empress Dowager.

"I didn't lie to you. I just didn't want you to know some embarrassing things. Mammy, you followed me from Khorchin. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

This is indeed true. The princess has always been a simple-minded person. Not to mention lying, she doesn't even understand some twists and turns.

"Besides, I'm already like this. You will naturally have to go back to Khorchin after I die. If the Empress Dowager knew that I didn't obey, she would definitely be unhappy. If she knew that I was ignorant, she wouldn't do anything to me anyway. As for whether she would vent her anger on you and not let you go back, I don't know."

This nanny was not smart, but she was honest. It was for this reason that after Qiqige entered the palace, the Empress Dowager assigned a nanny who knew medicine to serve her. But after Qiqige was poisoned, she drove the nanny away.

When Ji Nai returned to Zhongcui Palace, he had calmed down. But Yuan Xu couldn't stop crying and said in a sobbing voice: "Let's save her, use the spiritual fluid to save her, at worst we can go slower and give her a little bit at a time."

"It's impossible to save someone who is determined to die, even if there is a panacea, it can't be saved."

Qiqige's knot is this deep palace and the calculations of the Empress Dowager. But in fact, if Ji Nai ignored everything and was close to Qiqige like he was in the past, there might be a chance to pull her out of the abyss.

But Ji Nai didn't dare, and couldn't, for she was afraid of the Empress Dowager's methods. She knew that if she gave the Empress Dowager a chance, she would never be her opponent.

So she would not gamble with herself and the child, even if things had not reached that point yet. So she could only give up Qi Qi Ge, even though it was very selfish, but she did not tell Yuan Xu.

Perhaps secretly, she didn't want Yuan Xu to hate her or even be afraid of her. But although Ji Nai was sad, she didn't have the sympathy and compassion that Yuan Xu had.

Because in her opinion, wasn't this Qiqige's own choice? Even she herself had given up struggling, so she couldn't blame others for not trying their best to save her.

Just like when she saw Yuan Xu committing suicide, Ji Nai looked down upon such behavior. If it were not for the various encounters that happened later, she would not have become a like-minded friend of Yuan Xu.

But after all, Qi Qi Ge is Ji Nai's first and perhaps only friend in this palace, so he has been in a bad mood and a little depressed these days.

After Kangxi learned what the young eunuch had repeated, he became even more wary of the Empress Dowager, but surprisingly, he was not surprised.

Then he went to Zhongcui Palace, hugged the wilted Ji Nai tightly, and whispered in her ear, comforting her: "I promised you before that I would protect you. This is valid no matter when and where, even if that person is the Grand Empress Dowager."

Ji Nai hugged Kangxi's waist and said aggrievedly: "Qi Qi Ge died for me."

"It has nothing to do with you. Borjigit died for Khorchin. Her fate was sealed the moment she entered the palace."

Ji Nai understood, and that was why he felt sad for Qi Qi Ge. Because the master of the deep palace who really killed her, her husband who was unkind to her, could not stop her from entering the palace. And the one who pushed this matter and forced her into a desperate situation was her own close relative.

"Remember, no matter what the Grand Empress Dowager says, don't agree to it yet. If you don't understand, come back and ask me first."

Seeing Kangxi's eyes full of worry, Ji Nai wanted to cry, "I will remember this. I will only believe what you say."

Half a month later, Borjigit Qiqige, the daughter of Borjigit Ayushi, the third-rank Taiji of Khorchin and the concubine of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, came to the end of her life and died on April 12, the ninth year of Kangxi.

On May 9, the ninth year of the Kangxi reign, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites to posthumously confer the title of Huifei on Borjigit in the palace.
