Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 325 Concubine Dong's Conflict

"In that case, dying in childbirth can be considered as the last respect for her." Dying to give birth to an heir for the royal family is better than dying suddenly afterwards. "Being born to be unlucky can also be used as a handle."

The Empress Dowager was worried that Kangxi would not be able to bear it. After all, the child was innocent, and if he was given such a reputation, he would be gossiped about and slandered for the rest of his life.

"If he is a good person, I will clear his name. If... Wude is deposed, the new emperor will be able to tolerate him."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "I just hope that Hesheli's pregnancy will be good and this baby will be a prince." If it was a princess, not only would Kangxi's patience during this period be in vain, but all his plans and plots would have to be overturned and started over again.

……

When the Empress Dowager rushed to the Qianqing Palace, the masters of various palaces were watching, hoping to gain some information from it.

Everyone knows that something happened in Kunning Palace, but no one knows what exactly happened. Even if someone knows, they can only pretend not to know. The joke of His Majesty is not so easy to laugh at.

After the Empress Dowager left the Qianqing Palace angrily, an imperial decree was sent to the Kunning Palace, ordering the Empress to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the deceased royal heir.

After receiving the news, most people were laughing at Hesheli's joke. Everyone knew how those children died. It was really ironic to ask the murderer to pray for the victims. It seemed that the queen was really not a concern.

However, some people noticed something fishy. If they really couldn't tolerate Hesheli, they wouldn't just resort to such a painless method as punishment of copying.

Concubine Dong thought the same, so she became even more desperate.

She knew that she was not favored by the Emperor, and she could see her situation clearly. She had already used up all her luck to give birth to the second princess safely, and she could not ask for anything else. But as long as one is human, there are desires. After being lucky enough to get involved in the palace power, who would not want to go further?

Concubine Dong was just an ordinary person, without strong self-control, so she naturally couldn't help herself, and ended up angering the queen. She didn't take it to heart, but who would have thought that the queen would have a chance to turn things around?

The first person to be retaliated by the Queen was Irgen Gioro. Concubine Dong thought that by keeping herself out of trouble and ignoring Irgen Gioro's request for alliance, she was telling the Queen that she did not want to be her enemy. She hoped that the Queen would let her go because she knew how to deal with the situation.

What she got in return was someone putting poison near the Second Princess! This made Concubine Dong shocked and angry. She was lonely in the deep palace, and the Second Princess was her only hope. She would never allow anyone to hurt her child.

But Concubine Dong knew better that this matter should not be made public. Not to mention that the Second Princess was not fooled, it would be useless to make a big fuss about it. Furthermore, if the Emperor and the Empress Dowager gave the impression that she had not taken good care of the royal heir, it would be counterproductive.

Therefore, Concubine Dong could only investigate secretly, but this kind of matter had gone through many twists and turns and passed through the hands of countless people, so it was not so easy to investigate.

Given Concubine Dong's ability, the matter would naturally end in nothing.

But even if she couldn't find any clues, Concubine Dong had her own guess, that it was the one in Kunning Palace who did it. If she were the queen, when she lost power, she would definitely retaliate if someone dared to touch her things.

Compared with Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, it would naturally be easier for him and Irgen Jueluo to take action.

Compared with Irgen Jueluo, she has the advantage of having a princess by her side. As long as the second princess is gone, that would be the end of the matter.

Concubine Dong did not think that it was someone else who was trying to frame the queen, such as Irgen Jueluo. But on second thought, it was unlikely. The other party had always wanted to form an alliance with her to fight against the queen, so why would they do such a cruel thing, even if they were not afraid that she would be angry and directly stand on the queen's side.

Concubine Dong could never have imagined that after having Concubine Hui as her backer, Concubine Irgen Jueluo no longer looked down on her and only wanted to push Dong to be the vanguard.

Concubine Dong was about to collapse in fear and anxiety, but in order to protect her child, she decided to ask for help from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Even if it would make them think she was useless, they would not necessarily take the Second Princess away from her because of their love for their daughter.

Zhang made such a big mistake at the time, but for the sake of the eldest princess, didn’t the Emperor and the Empress Dowager still reunite the mother and daughter?

Concubine Dong finally mustered up the courage, but unexpectedly the Empress Dowager punished the Empress to copy Buddhist scriptures. Concubine Dong was like a deflated ball, and she no longer had any courage.

Even if His Majesty and the Empress Dowager believed what he said, what would it matter if they knew that the Empress was going to kill his second daughter? Hasn't the Empress killed enough heirs? How could his second daughter be compared to the prince?

Perhaps, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager would indeed protect the Second Princess, but if anything happened, the Second Princess would probably be dead.

Concubine Dong didn't dare to think about how she would live if such a thing really happened.

The nanny beside Concubine Dong Shu looked at her master's despair and anxiety, and felt bad too. She comforted her, "Master, maybe things are not that bad."

Concubine Dong knew that the nanny was trying to comfort her and didn't believe what she said at all. She just smiled bitterly.

"I'm going to say something disrespectful. With the Queen's methods, if she really wanted to do something, perhaps our princess would have already..."

Concubine Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said hopefully, "Mammy, what you mean is that the Queen may not want to hurt my child, but just want to teach me a lesson?"

Although it was a question, Concubine Dong didn't need an answer at all. She followed this line of thought and thought, yes, if the Queen really wanted to kill her Second Princess, she would never let herself find out.

While she was relieved, Concubine Dong was worried again, "So, what is the Queen going to do?"

Concubine Dong subconsciously looked at the nanny who had spoken. This person was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when she was pregnant, saying that she would wait on her during childbirth. But after the second princess was born, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not speak, so she naturally stayed.

But Concubine Dong did not take this nanny seriously at all. She certainly believed the words of the imperial physician more than the experience of the nanny in the Imperial Household Department.

As for other aspects, to be honest, this nanny is not as good as Nanny Yan and Nanny Zheng who were specially trained by the Hesheli family and sent to the Kunning Palace, nor is she as good as Nanny Li (Zhongcui Palace) who came out of the Qianqing Palace, and Nanny Wu who was specially selected by His Majesty for Concubine Hui.

The only advantage is that she has a clean family background and no other master behind her. This can be regarded as Kangxi's special care for his concubines and children, but that's all.

To put it bluntly, the nanny beside Concubine Dong was not very smart, but an honest person. After all, Kangxi did not want to send a troublemaker to the biological mother of the crown prince.
