Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 247 Covering up the past

Only Nanny Wu understood the master's fear and worry, but since this was the Emperor's order, the master had no right to refuse.

Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "Your Majesty's order, I dare not make a mistake even if I have the courage of heaven. Master Hui, this is a great joyous event, you should be happy."

Huipin looked helplessly at Wu Mama with tears in her eyes. Wu Mama shook her head at Huipin invisibly. They could do nothing but follow His Majesty's arrangement.

If you disobey the order, you will die; if you accept the order, there may be a chance of turning around in the future.

"I was so happy that I lost my composure and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, Eunuch Liang. I can't get out of bed now, so I can only ask you to convey my gratitude to me."

"Master Hui, rest assured, I will definitely bring it to you."

Huipin was impatient to continue chatting with Liang Jiugong, so she asked directly: "Eunuch Liang, does His Majesty have any other instructions?"

"There is one more order, but His Majesty has also said that you still need to take good care of yourself after the baby is born, so you can choose not to listen to it for now. Anyway, this order will be issued at the prince's full moon banquet."

Huipin looked at Nanny Wu in panic, only to hear her say something silently. Huipin tried hard to identify Nanny Wu's lip shape, and finally discovered in despair that it was the three words "little prince".

There was no more sound outside, but Huipin knew that Liang Jiugong had not left yet and was still waiting for his choice.

Huipin struggled. She didn't want to hear any bad news about her youngest son, but Kangxi had obviously made a decision. Refusing to hear the news now was just pretending to be deaf and dumb for a while, and nothing could be changed.

In the end, Huipin chose to listen now. She didn't want to live in fear for the next month.

"Since..." Huipin started to speak, but found that her voice had become hoarse. She cleared her throat and continued, "Since it is the order of His Majesty, I have no choice but to obey. It doesn't make any difference whether I know it earlier or later. Why is Eunuch Liang keeping me in suspense? Just tell me directly."

"His Majesty said that when the little prince is one month old, he will give him a name, and then he will be sent out of the palace to be raised by foreign officials."

"What did you say?" Huipin was so shocked that she almost fell off the bed.

She had guessed that Kangxi would take the child away, but at most would give the child to other concubines to raise. At least, that would still be in the palace, and she would still be able to see her child often.

But outside the palace, that’s outside the palace. Not to mention that they can’t meet, even passing on messages is probably impossible.

What should she do? What should she do?

Huipin didn't want to be separated from her child. She had already lost Chengqing and couldn't lose this child again. Huipin struggled to get up and ran to the wet nurse holding the child.

She wanted to snatch the child away, hold him in her arms, and not allow anyone to take her child away.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Wu quickly pushed Concubine Hui back onto the bed.

Nanny Wu was stronger than Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui had just given birth, so she didn't get enough information and was unable to move for a while.

However, don't underestimate a mother's instinct. Huipin burst out with unprecedented strength and almost knocked Nanny Wu over.

Madam Wu sensed her master's inexplicable strength and quickly leaned close to her ear, whispering, "Master, don't forget how you and the young prince were saved."

Huipin stopped struggling instantly.

Yes, the Emperor was unwilling to spare her, but she was willing to be the emperor's knife. Considering that she still had value, Kangxi gave her another chance.

If he disobeyed the order and expressed his dissatisfaction with Kangxi's order, how would the other party react? Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. The child had already been born, and Kangxi would not kill his own son. But what about himself?

All the blood in Huipin's body seemed to be frozen. At this moment, she finally understood why the Queen attacked the royal heir again and again even though she knew it was wrong.

Having lost the emperor's blessing and favor, she could clearly see his coldness and ruthlessness. Such a Kangxi was too terrible, so the queen could only desperately keep what she had and dared not lose the special significance of the queen and the legitimate son.

That would be more terrible than death!

The noise made by Huipin and Wu Mama was not loud, but after Liang Jiugong spoke, the entire Yanxi Palace fell into silence. Once the environment became quiet, the slightest movement would stand out and be infinitely magnified.

Liang Jiugong asked the people around him with a fake smile, "What's that sound? Could it be that Master Hui is dissatisfied with the order of His Majesty?"

The person being questioned was the chief eunuch beside Huipin. Wang Sheng smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be possible? Maybe you heard it wrong. I didn't hear any sound."

"Really?" Liang Jiugong looked at Wang Sheng with an ambiguous look.

Inside the house, Huipin regained her sanity after being reminded by Nanny Wu. She could not disobey the order. Who knows, this might be a test from Kangxi to see whether his knife would be obedient.

Child, it doesn't matter if the child is sent away, sooner or later, she will be able to take him back. She was too excited when she heard the news, and almost forgot that in history, the eldest prince Yinzhen was sent out of the palace to be raised until he was six years old.

Concubine Hui sat up with messy hair and gave a look to Nanny Wu.

Nanny Wu understood immediately and shouted at Nanny, "How did you do that? You almost dropped the prince. If I hadn't caught him in time, you would have lost your life!"

The wet nurse was stunned by the scolding. When she came to her senses and was about to open her mouth to defend herself, she was so scared when she saw the threatening look on Nanny Wu's face that she stepped back and dared not say anything.

Nanny Wu signaled to the others to keep an eye on the wet nurse. Anyone who could serve the master closely would certainly not be a stupid person. Everyone understood that their master must not be suspected of being dissatisfied with the imperial edict, so the wet nurse would have to take the blame.

And this wet nurse lost the best opportunity to defend herself, and she had no chance to explain herself afterwards. She could only be accused of failing to serve the prince well.

Nanny Wu tidied up her mess and walked out with a smile. When she saw Liang Jiugong, she apologized, "The nanny just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not very good. She almost dropped the prince. Didn't Eunuch Liang misunderstand?"

Liang Jiugong smiled falsely and said, "I am just a servant, how could I misunderstand anything?" He would naturally tell the emperor everything in detail and let him judge for himself.

"I'm glad there's no misunderstanding. Our master just said that she would accept His Majesty's orders wholeheartedly, no matter what they were. It's just that it's too tiring to talk through a door, so she asked the servant to come out and answer her."

"In that case, I will go back and report. Master Hui, have a good rest."

Nanny Wu looked at Liang Jiugong's departing back and sighed softly. Her master had had a really bad start, and it would be extremely difficult for him to carve out a way out of it.

But she was a servant abandoned by the Qianqing Palace and the Emperor, so she had nowhere to retreat no matter where she was. Fortunately, her master had been favored in the past, and at least he had accumulated some deterrence, even if he had provoked more hatred.

But as long as His Majesty still needs the master, the people in the palace will watch His Majesty's attitude and dare not offend him to death, not to mention that the master has a prince and is the head of a palace.

Thinking of this, Nanny Wu felt that the situation was not that bad.

Rekindling her fighting spirit, Nanny Wu was about to go inside to comfort her sad master, but was stopped by Wang Sheng. Seeing the flattery on the other's face, Nanny Wu knew that the other was up to no good.

As expected, Wang Sheng approached Madam Wu and asked, "Madam, you are the most well-informed. Please tell me what is going on."

"What else can it be except His Majesty's order?" Nanny Wu snorted coldly and ignored Wang Sheng's flattery.

"Hey, Ma'am, please tell me so that I can have a clear idea. This lady was made a concubine, which is a great joy. Why did she send the prince out of the palace? Did she dislike our prince?"

Nanny Wu slapped Wang Sheng on the forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our prince is a very good child, and he was just born. How could he be disliked by His Majesty?"

Wang Sheng apologized repeatedly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart that the prince would not make the emperor dislike him, but the same could not be said for his mother.
