Rong Fei is not honored

"Imperial Physician Lin is saying that the heir was nearly dead... but it was maternal instinct that caused Concubine Rong to transfer all her vital energy to the heir, thus saving the baby?"

Compared to the unlucky term of giving birth in a coffin, the word "vitality" is obviously more acceptable to the Empress Dowager.

Imperial Physician Liu was secretly annoyed. This Imperial Physician Lin's medical skills were indeed good, and he had been a decent person in the past.

Unlike Doctor Wu, who, seeing that Zhongcui Palace had become prosperous, attached himself to it and took advantage of the situation. Although his behavior was not shameful, it was not likable either.

But today, for some reason, he chose to speak first. Imperial Physician Liu suspected that Imperial Physician Lin could no longer sit still, so he wanted to take the opportunity to speak up in front of His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager.

It would be fine if he could satisfy His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, but he can't even speak. What's with all that talk about "giving birth in a coffin"? Is such an unlucky thing allowed to be mentioned in front of the master?

Fortunately, Huipin smoothed things over, and Imperial Physician Liu quickly agreed:

“That’s right, the human body is mysterious, and a mother’s love for her child is even more wonderful.

It's just that this is too unbelievable, so I can't bring myself to speak.

But the fact is indeed so. In the past, the harem had a healthy body. Even after suffering from heart disease, as long as her emotions did not fluctuate too much and the old disease did not relapse, her body was no weaker than that of an ordinary person. But now..."

"How is it?" Kangxi's voice was so cold that it chilled the hearts of everyone present.

"The vitality is gone, almost to the point of running out of fuel."

Huipin's eyes widened instantly. "Exhausted!" How could this happen? She bit her lip tightly, afraid to scream out in surprise.

If it was Imperial Physician Wu who said this, the Grand Empress Dowager would probably still suspect that this was a play arranged by Concubine Rong. However, with Imperial Physician Liu and so many other imperial physicians present, the diagnosis could not be wrong. So, Concubine Rong really...

"Even I am impressed by Rong Fei's love for her son."

After sighing, the Grand Empress Dowager suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Can Concubine Rong hold on until the day of giving birth?"

After all, he is her own descendant. Since she can protect him, the Empress Dowager naturally does not want anything to happen to the child.

"Empress Rong's condition isn't that bad. As long as she stays in bed and takes ginseng and other precious medicinal herbs to nourish herself, she might be able to hold on until that day."

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. Although the child would inevitably be weak after birth, the royal family had everything they needed and could afford to raise him. As long as the child was ambitious and could grow up strong, any amount of money spent would be worth it.

Kangxi's expression did not become relaxed. He asked, "What will happen to Rong Fei after the baby is born?"

That is naturally after all vitality has been taken away, and it withers and decays.

But there is no way around it. Even now, the imperial doctors have no way to stop Rong Fei's health from continuing to deteriorate, not to mention when she is able to give birth. By then, Rong Fei's condition will only be worse than it is now.

Kangxi was silent. For some reason, Huipin suddenly became a little nervous. She didn't know what she was thinking. Did she hope that Kangxi would say that, or did she hope that he would not speak?

In the end, Kangxi still said nothing.

After waiting for such a long time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were tired, so Kangxi suggested that Nianhulu send them back.

"Your Majesty is tired too. It would be better for you to return to the Qianqing Palace and rest early."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. However... Concubine Rong is asleep, so I must first make arrangements for the children."

"Since that's the case, I'll return to the Cining Palace first. As for Tong Jia, we need to deal with her as soon as possible."

"Yes, grandson knows."

After everyone left, Huipin moved her feet and wanted to leave, but was frozen in place by a look from Kangxi.

On the way back to the Yanx Palace, Huipin held the sobbing Rongxian in her arms, with Yinzhen jumping up and down beside her. She endured it again and again and avoided doing anything disrespectful.

Huipin pinched the soft little ball in her arms and wondered what Kangxi meant.

Is he willing to believe me? But if so, why did he only let me take Rongxian back, but refused to hand over Yinhua and Yinfu to me?

Could it be that he felt that no matter what he did, there was no need to attack a princess?

In any case, Huipin didn't think that Kangxi could be so kind, so she kept the two princes in order to avoid trouble for herself.

"Isn't this favoring boys over girls?" Huipin muttered softly.

People in the palace always talked about how much Kangxi favored this princess, calling her the apple of his eye and the one who would do anything for him. But what happened? When something really happened, it was exposed.

"Hmph! You bastard." After Huipin finished complaining, she realized that something was wrong. Rongxian was in her arms. If he heard anything, he would be in trouble.

Huipin quickly looked down. Fortunately, Rongxian was still sobbing sadly, immersed in his own world, and didn't notice what he said at all.

Huipin breathed a sigh of relief, and dared not say anything more. She closed her mouth and quickened her pace.

And it was because Huipin sped up that Chengrui caught up with the group only after he could see the gate of the Yanx Palace.

After Chengrui paid his respects to Huipin, he immediately asked for his sister back.

Huipin refused without a second thought, "No, this is what your royal father instructed me to do, to take good care of Rongxian. How can I leave it to you? You are just a child."

"Don't worry, Mother Hui, I will talk to the Emperor in person." Although Chengrui's tone was respectful, his attitude was so irresistible.

While Huipin was still hesitating, Rongxian in her arms had already started to struggle, trying desperately to go to Chengrui. Huipin almost hugged him in time and prevented him from falling.

There was no way out. One child was looking at her firmly, and the other was struggling desperately with miserable cries. There were already palace maids peeking around. Huipin could not hold on any longer and could only hand Rongxian back to Chengrui.

"Thank you, Concubine Hui. I will explain the situation to the Emperor and will not let him vent his anger on you."

Yinzhi looked at Chengrui's back as he left with Rongxian in his arms, feeling a little unhappy. He thought he could have a sister, even if it was only for a short time.

"Master, isn't it a bad idea for us to hand Princess Rongxian over to Prince Chengrui like this? I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor." Nanny Wu asked worriedly.

Huipin waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, His Majesty won't mind this little thing."

However, it's not that he doesn't care about himself, but he does it for Chengrui's sake.

"Mammy, this is not what we should be concerned about right now."

"Master, are you talking about... Concubine Rong?"

"No, I just feel that I am short-sighted. Only today did I truly get to know this eldest prince."

Nanny Wu asked doubtfully, "Please forgive my ignorance. I didn't notice that Prince Chengrui was any different from usual."

Is there no difference? However, the palace is saying that the eldest prince Chengrui is a soft-hearted and kind child, and because of his physical condition, he has a bit of inferiority and cowardice.

So even though Chengrui was the eldest, not many people took him seriously.

Firstly, the words of His Majesty at that time directly indicated that Chengrui had lost the qualifications to compete, and even though he was a prince, he was not a threat.

Secondly, Chengrui has a mild temperament and will not be retaliated against even if you offend him. Compared with Saiyin Chahun, who is vindictive and wanton, and Yinzhen, who has a bad temper and will resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, Chengrui is much easier to get along with.

But for the servants in the palace, a good-natured master would not make them grateful. Instead, they would feel that Chengrui was easy to bully, and they would become more and more presumptuous.

However, after all these years, has anyone ever heard of Prince Chengrui being mistreated by servants?

Even if she has Concubine Rong's protection and her younger brother's help, the King of Hell is more difficult to deal with than the little devils. Those servants who have been rooted in the palace for a lifetime have many ways to make their masters suffer in silence.

If Chengrui was really weak, it would be useless no matter how much Kangxi loved this child. He would just be replacing a batch of unruly slaves frequently and then slowly raising the hearts of the new slaves. This would only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Besides, today, can a weak and cowardly child really have his own ideas and chase after his father to bring his sister back after the emperor has made arrangements?

Huipin heard Chengrui's words clearly. He did not seek Kangxi's consent at all. He just acted without authorization.
