Rong Fei is not honored
Chapter 406 Only 2 survived
When Kangxi said this, Ji Nai was not happy. What did she mean by "no one protects her"? Wasn't she a human being?
Although, it is true that she would not spoil her child like the Empress Dowager, but as a mother, Ji Nai did not like others to say bad things about her child, even if it was the child's father.
"The child hasn't made any mistakes yet, but His Majesty is already calling for his death. I knew that once you have too many sons, you won't care about them anymore, right?"
Kangxi felt that he was really wronged. If Ji Nai hadn't reacted like that, how could he have said such a thing, "If it weren't for you just now..."
"What happened just now? I didn't say anything just now!"
"Yes, you didn't say anything, but your reaction just now clearly said everything."
Ji Nai thought about her reaction and realized that it was indeed ambiguous. She explained, "I hesitated to speak just now. It was not because the children were disobedient that I didn't know what to say."
Kangxi, who felt a little aggrieved after being wronged, was eagerly waiting for Ji Nai's explanation. Then he was shocked to the spot by the other party's words in a tearful tone.
"I, I don't know. I don't even know what kind of personalities they have."
Kangxi had a bad feeling. He always felt that the truth was not so easy to accept.
"They were sick from the moment they were born. Taking medicine and eating almost used up all their energy, but they didn't even make it past the age of three."
Kangxi's hands were shaking as he held Ji Nai. He seemed to understand Ji Nai's nervousness about the children and why a nightmare could hurt Ji Nai's heart. She was clearly suffering day and night.
Kangxi paused for a moment before making up his mind and asking the question he wanted to know the most but was afraid to know the outcome:
"Who will be left of our children in the end?"
Ji Nai was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak. This was a hurdle she would never be able to get over. Life was so good now that it was so hard for Ji Nai to forget the memories of her past life for a short time. But, this bastard had to ask her questions and brought up her pain.
Kangxi's lips had turned pale as he carefully said the worst possible outcome, "Could it be that, except for Chengrui and Saiyinchahun, these two children were unable to..." Kangxi was reluctant to say those two words.
The loss of the two children, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, was already difficult for Kangxi to accept. He thought of Chenghu and Chengqing who had died young. If it were his and Ji Nai's children, he would definitely be even more sad.
Ji Nai, who was stuck in the quagmire, suddenly woke up when she heard Kangxi's voice. After realizing what Kangxi said, Ji Nai suddenly felt malicious and wanted to drag the man in front of her into hell.
"Did His Majesty misunderstand something? We didn't lose two children, but only two survived."
There was a buzzing in Kangxi's head, and he seemed to be unable to hear anything. Only Ji Nai's voice was so clear. He obviously didn't want to hear it, but it still entered his mind word for word.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what I cried to you about? I said that our children died one after another, and many people mocked me, saying that I had one child that died after another."
"Stop talking." Kangxi pushed Ji Nai out of his arms, as if he wanted to escape.
Ji Nai grabbed Kangxi's hand and said word by word: "Didn't you want to ask me? Guess why I didn't tell you? Because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it.
Chengrui, Saiyinchahun, Yinhua, and the one in my belly, they all died. The only ones who survived were Rongxian and Xiaoliu.
Sometimes, even, I suspect that Xiaoliu is your compensation to me.
Because, their death, my children, was never God's will, but a man-made disaster.
After Xiaoliu was born, you never favored me again. I thought you also believed what Na Kezi said. Xiaoliu was the last mercy of you, the great emperor.
Do you remember what you said at that time?
You bastard! I didn’t believe you would do this to me, but that’s what happened in my dream.”
Kangxi subconsciously wanted to escape, but he still had some rationality. He remembered that Ji Nai was pregnant and was afraid that his big movements would hurt her.
"On the day Chengrui was poisoned, did His Majesty know why I fell? Because that scene overlapped with the scene in my dream.
And as for Saiyin Chahun, I actually know that His Majesty is unwilling, and I also know that you are unhappy that I gave him to the Queen Mother. The reason you are so tolerant of Saiyin Chahun now is because you feel guilty, guilty that you couldn't stop me, guilty that you didn't act tougher at the beginning.
Do you think I want to give my child to someone else to raise?
But, but I had no choice. In the dream, the Empress Dowager also proposed to raise Saiyin Chahun, but I refused. Then, the healthy Saiyin Chahun fell ill and died. What could I do? "
Yuan Xu's horrified voice sounded, "Um, Ji Nai, can you please calm down a little?"
Ji Nai regained his sanity. If Yuan Xu had not mustered up the courage to stand in front of Kangxi, he would never have been able to calm down just by looking at his face.
Ji Nai said sadly: "So Your Majesty, why do you have to investigate what I dreamed about?
I wish I was the only one who had seen that kind of hell.
I will protect our children."
Kangxi's eyes were red. Everything Ji Nai said made his mind very confused. He didn't know what to say. In the end, he just looked at Ji Nai sadly.
"So, you hate me?"
"It's resentment! I blame you for not protecting them, and I blame you for not seeking justice for the children.
But I know that it was a dream, it was you in the dream who did it, and the living you in front of me has been protecting us, and you did better than him.
What's more, even in a dream, I...even if I become disheartened later, I cannot completely sever this friendship."
"I am not him, I will not treat you like that." These words seemed to be spoken to Ji Nai, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
Kangxi took Ji Nai into his arms again, and the two cold bodies pressed together to keep each other warm.
"I didn't do well enough before. I...I will protect you."
Kangxi's gradually sinking heart glimpsed a glimpse of hope. He could feel that Ji Nai's friendship for him was not fake, and that he had the trust that he would give to him completely from beginning to end.
Even though the dream was magical, it could not affect the relationship between him and Ji Nai.
Ji Nai shed tears silently, not knowing whether he was crying for his previous life or for the changes in this life.
The two hugged for a long time, so long that Liang Jiugong asked cautiously at the door: "Your Majesty, Master Rongpin, it's getting late, do you want to order food?"
"It's my fault for not considering your health. I'll ask them to serve you food and then ask the imperial physician to take a look at you."
