Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 118: Cleaning the Palace

Seeing that Ji Nai was silent, Yuan Xu stopped dwelling on this question and asked again, "Since there is doubt, it is possible that it is not true. If Empress Xiaokang Zhang really died of illness and was not killed by the Empress Dowager, what should we do?"

“Even if it’s fake, you can make it real.”

Yuan Xu discovered that Ji Nai really hated the Empress Dowager so much that he even said such words. You know, Ji Nai once said: It is best not to do things that harm others, because as long as you do it, it will leave traces, even if you think it is flawless.

The foundation of Ji Nai's life now is still the friendship of Kangxi. Cheng Rui is not only not Ji Nai's support, but also needs Ji Nai's protection. So, "Aren't you afraid that Kangxi will find out and hurt your friendship?"

"Of course I'm afraid." Besides, Saiyin Chahun and the others were not born yet. What if she lost Kangxi's favor at this time and he was unwilling to have children with her?

"But who said I had to do it myself?"

"Who are you looking for to make a knife?"

"Do you think that it is more painful and guilty that your biological mother died of illness or that she was killed for you? If you feel guilty, since she is no longer with you, who do you think will make up for it? Do you think Tong Jia will be moved if she knows about this?"

"You are in the deep palace, so it is probably difficult to contact Tong Jia, right?"

"Why should I contact them directly? Even if Empress Xiaokangzhang is not favored, she has left some people in this palace. And these people are all loyal to the Tonggiya clan. Coincidentally, because of my memories from my previous life, I know who they are and where they are now."

What Ji Nai didn't say was that if Tong Jia took action, there would be hidden dangers, and how could the Empress Dowager not retaliate? Under such circumstances, it was simply a foolish dream for Tong Jia to want to become the Tong Banchao who was once glorious like in her previous life.

In this case, can the women of the Tonggiya clan still regard themselves as the future queens as soon as they enter the palace? Can the Uya clan, who climbed up by stepping on the Tonggiya clan, still ascend to the throne so smoothly? Ji Nai is looking forward to meeting them again in this life.

Two days later, Ji Nai called Xiao Anzi over. Looking at the tall and strong man in front of him, he was completely different from the skinny man he had seen when he first met him. Ji Nai was a little moved. He had grown so big before he noticed.

Xiao Anzi was a little uneasy, not understanding why the master asked him to come and dismissed the others. In recent years, Yu Sheng accompanied the master on outings, Yu Qing took care of the housework, Li Ma was in charge of Zhongcui Palace, and he was just running errands at most.

The truth is that my master is not used to the eunuchs serving me closely, of course, most of the masters in the palace are like this. Fortunately, the master does not dislike or hate me because of my status as a eunuch, which is rare in the palace.

So although Xiao Anzi's life was not very popular and he was not as valued as Yu Sheng and Yu Qing, he did not have any other thoughts. But when he was suddenly summoned, even though he had not betrayed his master, Xiao Anzi still felt a little fear of the unknown.

At this moment, a gentle female voice came from the top, "Xiao Anzi, I want you to do something, but this matter is of great importance and must not be heard by a third person. So, can I trust you?"

Xiao Anzi's heart was beating wildly, but not because of fear, but because he knew his chance had come. As long as he did this well, he would become the master's confidant and be valued.

Xiao Anzi ignored the rules, looked up and looked directly at Ji Nai, and said solemnly: "Master, you can trust me." "Even if this matter is very dangerous? Once it is exposed, you may lose your head?"

"Yes!" Xiao Anzi answered straightforwardly. He knew there would be danger, but danger often comes with opportunities. Only by seizing this opportunity could he successfully climb up.

Similarly, Xiao Anzi never thought of betraying his master. The first old eunuch who followed him into the palace once warned him that loyal servants in the palace had a hard time living, but servants who betrayed their masters would surely die.

Although the old eunuch was involved in a harem fight and was beaten to death soon after, Xiao Anzi always remembered this sentence and regarded it as a guiding principle.

Xiao Anzi moved very quickly.

In the imperial garden that day, a maid was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground at dawn. She didn't even raise her head when maids walked by, and even when she passed by the rockery, she pretended not to hear any whispers.

Curiosity can kill people in this palace. And my work is not finished yet. Otherwise, I will be scolded by the steward. If I attract the attention of the master who comes to visit the imperial garden, I may not even be able to save my life.

"That's His Majesty's mother!" This exclamation stopped the palace maid who was about to leave quietly. She really didn't want to pry into the secret, but the words involved Empress Xiaokangzhang, which made things different.

First of all, she was a staff member arranged by Empress Xiaokangzhang when she was alive, but her master was not up to the task, so she had been left idle. Since this matter concerned her old master, she could not completely pretend to be ignorant.

Secondly, everyone knows that the current emperor is the child of Empress Xiaokangzhang. If he can make meritorious contributions, then he won't have to continue doing these dirty and tiring jobs? Hope flashed in the eyes of the palace maid.

Even though she knew she might lose her life, the palace maid couldn't control her feet and walked towards the rockery, just to hear more clearly.

"How could this be false? My fellow villager heard it himself. He suddenly disappeared after that day, and even his body was not found. If he hadn't known that he would be silenced and told me in advance, I would have thought he was missing."

"It's not that I don't believe it, but why would he tell you about such a big thing?"

"It's all because of his sister outside the palace. He wanted me to transfer his savings to his sister. How could I not ask about this? If I don't ask clearly, I might get involved in some secrets and I won't even know how he died."

"So he told you?"

"He refused to tell me at first, but I threatened him that if he didn't tell me clearly, I wouldn't help him. You know, in that situation, he couldn't find anyone to help him, so he had to tell me."

"So, everything you said is true."

"Of course it could be false. I tell you, after he disappeared, I felt like I was being watched, too. I felt like I was being followed several times when I went out. I was afraid that it was because he had looked for me before, so I was also suspected. Fortunately, I pretended that I knew nothing and didn't act alone. It took more than a year before I felt better."

"Then why are you telling me this now? I was wondering why you suddenly stopped looking for me, and I thought you were looking for someone else."

"At that time, I was afraid of the person behind me, so I let my guard down on purpose. How could I dare to implicate you? Besides, even though we are not a formal couple, we have also prayed to heaven and earth, so how could I find someone else?"
