Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 49 Xuemei's Family

How could this be an accident? How could she be so lucky? A fire broke out in the house of a regent minister, and as luck would have it, all the people who were burned to death were servants. Not a single member of Xuemei's family survived.

When the Empress Dowager in the palace found out, she just said it was an injustice and didn't mention it again. Kangxi just ignored it and didn't want to find out whether it was an accident or not.

In fact, ever since Xuemei started to attack the royal heir, her nine clansmen were not far from death. Perhaps, after the incident, if Xuemei could die calmly and take all the blame for her master, her loved ones would most likely die suddenly like Xuezhi's family, but it would never be like now, with no one left alive.

How could the royal family accept being threatened? They would never allow others to offend their reputation. Once offended, they would only wash away the shame with blood and death.

Ji Nai understood this truth, so when Yuan Xu felt sorry for Xuemei and thought she was too brave to confront the imperial power, Ji Nai had concluded that this was not bravery, but stupidity. Before you have absolute strength, you can only keep a low profile. Nanny Yan also understood this, so she only asked to save the queen that day and was not worried about the rumors outside. Only the truth from the mouth of the superior is true. Concubine Nara also understood this, so she suddenly became so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed.

To a body that had not yet fully developed, conceiving a child was a burden. Unfortunately, she lost the baby because she had eaten too many cold foods. She was devastated and her emotions were so volatile that how could she rest assured and take care of her body?

This time, she deeply felt the cruelty of the feudal dynasty and the contempt for human life. Zhizhu, who came from the new era, had never felt the power of the emperor so directly. Even before, when she faced Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, she had never been so scared. In fear, her originally weak body could not bear it at all, and she fell ill directly.

Fortunately, Kangxi was a man who cherished the past. Even though he was dissatisfied with Concubine Nara's slander against Ji Nai, she had once borne him a child and suffered the pain of losing a child. So he ordered the Imperial Hospital to cure Concubine Nara. How could the Imperial Hospital not do its best when it was risking its life? Although the worry was not cured, Concubine Nara's life was saved.

In April, after the confinement of Empress Hesheli ended, Kangxi still went to Kunning Palace. This was his empress, and also the empress of the Qing Dynasty. He could not always treat Hesheli as a decoration. If there was no Oboi in the previous dynasty, perhaps he could also depose the empress as he wished, just like his father did.

But how can the cracks in their hearts be restored? In this life, Kangxi and Hesheli can no longer support each other and overcome difficulties together. Empress Hesheli has her own selfish desires, and Kangxi dare not trust the queen anymore, even though Empress Hesheli also failed this trust in the previous life, but it is different after all.

This time, Kangxi no longer patiently waited for the queen to grow up, but warned her directly, "Fangyi, if you can do a good job as the queen, you will be my wife. If you can't do it well, I can fulfill Oboi's wish and replace her with Nianhulu."

Hesheli Fangyi understood what Kangxi meant, forced a smile, and assured Kangxi: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely be a good queen."

The three-month cold war was enough for Hesheli Fangyi to see her position clearly. Even though she was the queen and the Hesheli family stood behind her, not everything could go as she wished and she could act as she pleased. This was because her husband was the master of the world, the most supreme man in the Qing Dynasty. To him, everyone was his slave, even her, the queen.

He can't be alone, he must have many women and many children. If he doesn't recognize this, his future life will be very difficult.

And she was wrong. No matter how annoying the concubine Nara's child was, no matter how much of a thorn in her eyes and flesh, he was still the emperor's child. A man's friendship could not compare to his offspring. That day, Kangxi's cold eyes seemed to be engraved in the depths of Empress Hesheli's soul, making her understand that the child was Kangxi's bottom line and must not be touched easily, unless she could never let Kangxi know that she had done it.

Many times, people just walk into a dead end, so they bump their heads and bleed, but after walking out, they can see the scene in front of them clearly. Queen Hesheli saw clearly how to go on her own path, and she would never let the fog cover her eyes and cause herself to lose her way.

Seeing the queen standing up again, Ji Nai felt sorry. After all, she was the queen. She was different from others. Her position had natural advantages. Even if Kangxi had no feelings for her, he would let her go again and again. If it were someone else, there would never be a second chance.

Just after the queen regained her favor, Sony of the former dynasty was also conferred the title of first-class duke. The Hesheli family no longer had an ambiguous attitude, but stood firmly against Oboi.

Kangxi is now more stable. Even though he was just forced to lose his composure, he can still maintain his usual appearance when he comes to the harem. Ji Nai finds that she is increasingly unable to understand Kangxi's thoughts. Sometimes she can't even tell whether Kangxi is in a good or bad mood. Even if she can tell, most of the emotions Kangxi deliberately reveals.

Ji Nai lamented that his past life was wasted. He lived many more years than the current Kangxi, but he was still not as cunning as him. Yuan Xu said it well: the brains of the two of them who had lived for hundreds of years were not as good as that of a teenager. It was too hurtful to their self-esteem.

But Yuan Xu thought it was good. She watched Kangxi grow up and become more suspicious. She tried to test Ji Nai several times, but she didn't say it because she was afraid that Ji Nai would be sad. Ji Nai, who could be understood at a glance, could make Kangxi feel at ease. They could get along without guarding and show their true feelings, instead of calculating gains and losses all the time and putting on a mask to perform.

As the weather got hotter, Ji Nai's belly grew bigger and bigger, and he was not allowed to get out of bed for some time.

Previously, the imperial physician had diagnosed Concubine Nara and said that her injuries were too severe and she had to stay in bed until giving birth. But the pulse was false after all, so after a few months, the imperial physician said that Concubine Nara had improved. It was not until Nanny Li said that frequent walking would be beneficial to childbirth that Kangxi agreed and allowed Ji Nai to walk around in Zhongcui Palace, but he was not allowed to go out.

Kangxi was really afraid that something would happen to Ji Nai again. He could not bear the possibility of losing Ji Nai, nor did he want to see Ji Nai like Nara, who was bedridden and mentally confused after losing her child. Kangxi knew how much Ji Nai loved the child, and he could not imagine what Ji Nai would become if something happened to the child.
