Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 236 Guessing the Truth

"What nonsense did I say? Either the Queen doesn't care about a sick child who can't bring you any benefit, so she ignored my brother.

Or maybe you have already noticed it, but you wanted to use this incident to bring me down more than my brother's health, but I didn't expect that I had stopped half a month ago."

In fact, Concubine Hui had guessed half of it, but the truth is often more cruel.

"I didn't, I just, I..."

Feeling Kangxi's icy gaze, the Queen hurriedly wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.

It was Madam Zheng who came up with the idea and helped her master out by saying, "Concubine Hui misunderstood the Empress. The Empress naturally cares about the prince, but she was deceived by the villain."

"Villain?" Concubine Hui said sarcastically.

"Since there is a traitor in Kunning Palace, there may be a second one."

"Are you doubting me?" Concubine Hui sneered. She wanted to see how this servant would put the blame on herself.

Madam Zheng would not be so stupid. The Empress Dowager had already made the final conclusion, proving that Concubine Hui did not lie. Even if she was unwilling to let Concubine Hui go, she would not stir up trouble at this time. The most urgent task was to save the Queen.

"I am talking about the power behind Cui Xin. Since they were able to reach into the Yanxi Palace, I think they will not let go of the Kunning Palace. Besides, she is just a low-ranking palace maid. Do they really trust her to murder the heir alone?"

It has to be said that Nanny Zheng accidentally guessed the truth.

The Empress Dowager thought about it for a long time. She didn't think that the Queen was really deceived, which led to Chenghu's death, but the fact that there was a traitor in Kunning Palace was very likely true.

With such a force hidden in the palace, the Grand Empress Dowager could not sleep peacefully, and immediately decided: "I will investigate this matter myself. I think in order to find out the real murderer who killed Chenghu, the Queen will not mind me investigating your Kunning Palace."

Of course the Queen minded. She was afraid that the Grand Empress Dowager would find out other things, but just as she was about to refuse, she was stopped by Nanny Zheng beside her, and she had to swallow the words.

The matter came to an end here. When the concubines and servants outside saw the people coming out, they were still looking forward to it. Who was the real murderer? Was it Rongpin Ma Jia? Or Hui concubine Nara?

But no matter which one it is, they both have children. Since the biological mother is convicted, it is natural to find a foster mother for the royal heir.

It’s a pity and disappointing that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager said nothing and just let everyone go.

Originally, Kangxi wanted to send Ji Nai back to Zhongcui Palace because she was too badly injured. But Ji Nai saw that Kangxi was in a bad mood and took the initiative to refuse.

"My injuries are not serious. If you want me to accompany you, then go to Zhongcui Palace. If you just want to be alone, don't force yourself. I am fine alone, but I feel a little sorry for you."

Kangxi touched Ji Nai's face and said in a hoarse voice, "I will visit you again in a few days."

"it is good."

Ji Nai knew that at this time, it was useless to ask Kangxi to mourn and take care of his health. She could only tell Liang Jiugong: "Remind His Majesty to remember to eat and don't sleep too late at night. If he doesn't listen, come find me."

In fact, it was inappropriate for Ji Nai to say this, as it might seem like he was trying to spy on the emperor and inquire about Kangxi's daily routine. However, Ji Nai said this to Liang Jiugong openly in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi did not refute, which meant he acquiesced. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly agreed. He was worried about what to do if His Majesty was hurt by his grief, but now that he had Rongpin, he was no longer worried.

Kangxi did not mind Ji Nai asking about his affairs. If he was not in a bad mood today, he would even laugh and joke with Ji Nai after hearing her words. At the same time, Kangxi tacitly agreed to this matter in order to put Ji Nai at ease so that he could recover from his injuries.

After Kangxi left, Ji Nai could no longer hold back her cries of pain. With the nourishment of the spiritual fluid, her skin became exceptionally delicate, and she felt extremely painful after being injured.

In the end, Ji Nai was supported back by Li Ma and Yu Sheng.

Yuan Xu was heartbroken and kept muttering, "You are still enduring it. You should cry out in pain in front of Kangxi so that he knows how much you have suffered."

[I'm injured like this. Even if I don't say it, anyone who sees me will know how serious it is. Tomorrow, it will only look more horrible. Why should I repeatedly remind others how miserable I am? Talking too much will only do harm.]

"Even if that's the case, why did they keep you here? You're injured like this, and you're still being suspected. It's too chilling."

[I know you are trying to defend me, but there is really no need. The Empress Dowager kept me here, not necessarily because she thought I was suspicious. She just wanted to give me some warnings and let me stay here as a witness.]

"You are crazy, right? Why do you want to beat me up like that? Have you ever done anything out of line since you entered the palace? She has already snatched Saiyin Chahun away from you, and she still treats you like this. Don't you feel guilty at all?"

Yuan Xu's eyes were red with anger, and she wanted to tear the Empress Dowager apart right now. She admired Xiaozhuang in history as much as she hated the Empress Dowager. She didn't expect that after traveling through time, she would still encounter the collapse of her idol.

[Most of the records in history books have been beautified, or the bloody truth has been glossed over. The Empress Dowager was never a good person.

However, if you feel uncomfortable, you can just treat them as two people. After all, this is a parallel universe. Isn't the character setting of the virtuous and generous Kangxi Baiyueguang, Hesheli, also ruined? 】

"No, you don't feel uncomfortable at all?"

[Uncomfortable? As long as I keep this face, the Grand Empress Dowager will not like me, unless I take this opportunity to disfigure myself, then the Grand Empress Dowager may treat me with extra favor.]

"...Does it have to be this way?"

[Yuan Xu, do you still remember what I asked Xiao Anzi to do? I never intended to live in peace with the Grand Empress Dowager. Now it's just a deal. If I use her protection to develop carefully, sooner or later we will fall out.]

"Are you so sure? The Empress Dowager is very old and probably doesn't have many years left. Can't you just wait patiently?" Yuan Xu was a little worried. With the Empress Dowager's methods, Ji Nai really had no chance of winning against her.

[Aren’t you afraid that the Empress Dowager will issue an imperial decree to sentence me to death before she dies?] Seeing Yuan Xu’s eyes widened, Ji Nai continued:

[Although the possibility is small, it is not foolproof. I am not willing to sit and wait for death and gamble my life on the mercy of the Empress Dowager.

Moreover, Kangxi's dissatisfaction with the Grand Empress Dowager was deepening, and with the death of Empress Xiaokangzhang in between, I naturally had to stand on Kangxi's side. 】

[So, the Empress Dowager has always been your enemy. Can you expect your enemy to be kind to you? Are you feeling better now?]

"No, I will remember this incident and take revenge after defeating the Empress Dowager."

[Okay, then you remind me when the time comes.]

Just when Ji Nai thought his ears could be quiet, Yuan Xu started to nag Kangxi again. Although he felt that Kangxi was not up to standard today, Yuan Xu did not say too much because of the slap and the loss of the child.

Ji Nai interrupted Yuan Xu's mumbling, "If you have time to pick on Kangxi, why don't you help me think about how to explain to Chengrui. If I go back like this, he will definitely cry when he sees me."

"Yes, crying is bad for your health. It would be bad if Chengrui fainted. Otherwise, you said you fell down?"

[Can a scratch from a nail be left? Cheng Rui is not easy to fool. 】

……

Sure enough, when Chengrui saw his mother coming back covered in wounds, he burst into tears. After coming to his senses, he rushed out with his fists clenched, but was stopped by Ji Nai.

Ji Nai asked with amusement: "What are you going to do?"

"Chengrui wants to avenge his mother."

"Mother is very touched by Chengrui's filial piety, but you are still so young, how can you avenge mother?" Not being beaten is good enough. But in order not to dampen Chengrui's enthusiasm for protecting mother, Ji Nai did not say it out loud.

"Chengrui can go find Ama. Ama is the most powerful and can avenge E'niang."

Ji Nai sighed, squatted down, looked Chengrui in the eye, and explained: "Ama is in a bad mood now, Chengrui, please don't disturb Ama at this time, okay?"
