Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 114 Concubine Hui’s Funeral

After Qiqige passed away, her servants brought back the last words of her master. She told Ji Nai not to feel guilty. Although she and Ji Nai had been good friends, this ending had nothing to do with Ji Nai. Neither of them owed the other anything.

For Qi Qige, her death was indeed related to Ji Nai, but it was not him who killed her. Ji Nai was also a victim of this conspiracy.

It's just that I'm too cowardly and don't have the courage to break through and then build up, to break out a way of life, so I can only let myself go to death. Those words before dying are not meant to make the other person uncomfortable.

Besides, she felt that she no longer had any friendship with the other party, but hadn't she also used Ji Nai? She used her to take revenge on the Empress Dowager and make her plan fail, which could be regarded as revenge for her miserable life. At the same time, she did this for Korchin.

Perhaps it was because she had been watching the Emperor for so long that she could see many things clearly. She knew that once the Empress Dowager's plan was successful, the Emperor might compromise for a short period of time, but would definitely retaliate afterwards, and that would be a disaster for Korchin.

She didn't understand why someone as wise as the Empress Dowager could not see this and always wanted to restore the glory of the Khorchin women in the harem of Emperor Taizong (Huang Taiji).

Even the late emperor, the biological son of the Empress Dowager, had expressed his vigilance against Khorchin women. But the Empress Dowager still refused to give up and allowed Borjigit women to enter the Forbidden City one after another.

The funeral of Concubine Hui Borjigit was held in a grand manner, even though this woman was not favored by the emperor during her lifetime and had never even slept with him.

But the person is no longer with us. For the sake of the Empress Dowager and Khorchin, he was given the utmost honor after his death, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation. But this is Kangxi's compensation, what about the Empress Dowager? Will she regret her past actions?

Ji Nai didn't know whether the Grand Empress Dowager would regret it, but she felt that Qi Qige would not like this false farewell. At the funeral, Kangxi, the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager all arrived. If the former came out of guilt and the latter out of consideration for family affection, then what about the Empress?

As the queen, she had no need to attend the funeral of a concubine, especially since the concubine was not of high status. Even though Borjigit was posthumously named Huifei after her death, it was not a real concubine if you look closely.

But the Queen still came, and acted very sad, as if she really regretted Qi Qi Ge's death. Ji Nai saw clearly that after the Queen's performance, the eyes of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Dowager softened a little when they looked at the Queen.

Even the arrogant concubine Nara knelt down and cried. You know, since February this year, when Concubine Nara was diagnosed with nearly three months of pregnancy, she had relied on Kangxi's favor and dared to directly challenge the queen's majesty, and even stepped on the queen's face in public several times.

But the queen already had Prince Chenghu, so she was very confident. With the advantage of her status, she easily suppressed Concubine Nara. If she was not pregnant with the heir, the queen would have had Nara tortured long ago.

However, Concubine Nara's actions did anger the Queen. Originally, she wanted to put this fool aside and deal with the two major threats, Ma Jia and Cheng Rui, first, and then free up her hands to deal with Nara.

But since Nara was so ignorant and repeatedly jumped out, the queen couldn't just sit back and watch, even if it was to maintain her own prestige. Moreover, Nara's ability to make people hate her was really first-class, so the queen no longer considered whether there was any risk in doing so, and had to deal with these two bitches, Ma Jia and Nara, together.

There was a lot of crying in the mourning hall, and everyone in the harem was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. Everything you saw was filled with sorrow. But Ji Nai was not moved at all, and instead felt a little breathless.

Although Ji Nai was not unaware that today's scene was the norm in the harem, the actions of others were also the most appropriate. If they really had no sense and revealed their true feelings in such an occasion, they would be doomed.

But maybe Ji Nai truly felt pity for the fate of this woman, and felt sorry for her; maybe Ji Nai had been truly good friends with Qi Ge, and even with all the things that happened later, their friendship was not fake; or maybe Ji Nai truly wanted to save this woman, but ended up letting her fall into another abyss. So Ji Nai couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Yuan Xu noticed that something was wrong with Ji Nai and asked, "Ji Nai, do you regret it?" Although Ji Nai was so decisive when he refused to use spiritual liquid to save Qi Qi Ge, it seemed that he had completely abandoned his friendship with Qi Qi Ge in order to save himself.

But Yuan Xu always felt that deep down in Ji Nai's heart, she was not as cruel as she thought. Her heart was soft, but she had covered it with a hard shell.

Do you regret it? Of course not. Ji Nai knew very well that even if she had to do it again, she would still do it the same way. She would feel regret, pity Qi Qige, and feel sorry for the loss of a fresh life, but she would never regret it.

In addition to Yuan Xu, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager also noticed Ji Nai's abnormal behavior. The former knew everything that happened between Ji Nai and Qi Ge, so he understood Ji Nai's current feelings very well and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Kangxi could naturally see clearly that most of the people present were just acting, and only a few were truly sad, just like how he felt at his mother's funeral.

The latter, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, meant that even though their relationship had become distant, Qi Qi Ge still listened to her words at the last moment of his life.

The words he said to Ma Jia before his death were very effective, erasing all the estrangement of the past few years and bringing the two closer together. The Empress Dowager was deeply relieved that Qi Qige had finally grown up.

The Empress Dowager was not without sadness at the death of her cousin, Qiqige, but she was even more angry that Qiqige dared to disobey her will. Didn't she know that everything she did was for Khorchin and for the Borjigit clan?

The reason why I let Qiqige come all the way from the grassland to marry here and let her enter the Forbidden City was not to relieve my homesickness. Her duty was to restore the glory of the Borjigit family. This was her mission.

But what did Qiqige do? In this harem, she actually had a sincere friendship with her rival, her husband's other woman, and they gave each other their true hearts. How stupid!

She truly regarded the other party as a friend, but the Empress Dowager Ma Jia, who had been immersed in the deep palace for many years, did not think that Ma Jia was sincere and just wanted to get something from Qi Qige.
