Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 495: Unable to Raise the Royal Heir

Whether it was active or passive, "Yinzhi" was actually robbing his mother of her vitality.

Ji Nai and Yuan Xu knew that they had the spiritual liquid to back them up, enough to last until the birth of their child and a safe delivery, but others didn't know.

In their eyes, Ji Nai’s current condition is already so bad that it is not easy to reach the day of delivery, but what will happen to Ji Nai after giving birth?

If it's better, it's a one-shot death, if it's worse, there's no chance of survival, and if it's even worse, there will be two lives lost.

Who dared to gamble? Not Kangxi, not Chengrui, not Saiyinchahun.

So what should I do to save my beloved (my mother) life? Need I say more? As long as this child is gone, Ji Nai's vitality will not continue to fade. Even if his body is not as good as before, he can always slowly recover.

And it seems that the father and his two sons all have this idea, but Chengrui is still concerned about Ji Nai's feelings, while Saiyin Chahun wants to settle the matter directly.

If Kangxi really let Saiyin Chahun persuade him... it's over! The sky is falling!

If this father and son killed Yinzhi before Ji Nai woke up, she would go crazy!

Yuan Xu hurried to wake up Ji Nai. Fortunately, she was not really unconscious, but her body was too damaged. Ji Nai wanted to continue this self-torture trick, so he refused to use spiritual fluid to repair herself. She was just exhausted and fell asleep.

However, things developed just as Ji Nai had expected. The imperial doctors only dared to mention the strangeness of Ji Nai's rapid health decline, and even then, they took the initiative to come up with a more reasonable explanation.

As for whether Ji Nai's health was that bad or not, no one dared to say it.

It is true that Concubine Rong almost had a miscarriage, and it is also true that Concubine Rong's health deteriorated rapidly after the pregnancy was stable. As for why it was so much worse than before and to what extent, who can tell?

The people in the Imperial Hospital didn't know why Concubine Rong was like this, and they couldn't come up with any specific and feasible solutions.

If they don't make the matter more serious, what if Rong Fei and the royal heir are not safe in the end, and the Emperor asks them to protect Rong Fei and her son, and they are helpless, how will they explain it then?

The emperor has supreme power, and the lives of the entire family are in his hands. When he is furious, rivers of blood will surely flow.

Are they going to say that Concubine Rong got better on her own and didn't contribute anything to her condition in order to exonerate herself? Who would believe that?

Even if the masters believed them, why didn't they tell the truth in the beginning? Was it to take credit for themselves? Wouldn't that still be deceiving the emperor?

Therefore, saying that a three-point bad situation is seven points, and saying that a seven-point sure situation is three points, is a common tactic used by the imperial doctors in the palace.

Didn't Tong Jia want to take advantage of this to throw dirty water on Ji Nai and Huipin? Then Ji Nai would retaliate in the same way.

But now, a simple miscarriage has turned into a near-miscarriage. Can Tong Jia still withstand it? How does she plan to break the deadlock?

However, Ji Nai had planned everything, but he didn't tell Yuan Xu. What should he do if Kangxi and Chengrui, father and son, wanted to eliminate the source of the "disaster"?

Yuan Xu thought it would take a lot of effort to wake up the sleeping Ji Nai, but he didn't expect that when he called him for the third time, Ji Nai had already regained consciousness.

"What's wrong?" Ji Nai asked tiredly, closing his eyes.

Yuan Xu said distressedly: "Well, something happened, otherwise I wouldn't bother you."

[It's okay, I didn't sleep well anyway.]

It was so uncomfortable to drag a weak body around. I felt uncomfortable everywhere, but I couldn't tell where exactly I felt uncomfortable.

This long-lost state reminded Ji Nai of the worst period in her previous life, when she was frequently pregnant and lost her children.

However, Ji Nai not only did not regret it, but felt sorry for Chengrui. Has Chengrui been tortured by such powerlessness and weakness all these years?

Turning around, he could only watch his growing younger brothers indulge themselves in the horse riding and archery field, while he himself was limited by his physical condition and could only do so much. How did Chengrui feel?

[No wonder I'm becoming more and more sensitive.]

Ji Nai muttered softly, full of guilt and heartache.

"What?" Ji Nai's voice was too soft for Yuan Xu to hear clearly.

【Nothing, what happened? 】

Yuan Xu paused, then carefully told her guess about Kangxi's plan.

Unexpectedly, Ji Nai was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked calmly:

Where are Chengrui and Saiyinchahun?

These words sounded like he was asking where Chengrui and Saiyinchahun were, and also like he was asking for their reaction. Yuan Xu was not sure whether Ji Nai had already known something, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

She only mentioned Kangxi just now because she didn't want Ji Nai to know that her two sons also had the same idea.

Even if their starting point was to protect Ji Nai, for a mother, "fratricide" for any purpose is heartbreaking.

"Did you guess it?" Yuan Xu asked tentatively.

[No, it's just that this is indeed something Kangxi could do.]

Isn’t the incident with the incense stick a ready-made example?

Ji Nai knew very well that in the eyes of the current Kangxi, he was much more important than their children, let alone an unborn child.

However, what Ji Nai didn't know was how much of this was purely due to his feelings for her and his unwillingness to lose her.

[As for Chengrui and Saiyinchahun, Saiyinchahun's temperament is very similar to his father's, and he can be cruel.

As for Chengrui, he didn't want to lose any of the family members he cared about, nor did he want to see any discord between family members.

So Saiyin Chahun would urge his father to act quickly, and Chengrui would definitely stop him, but his attitude might not be so firm, because he was afraid that something would happen to me, and that I would be angry and not forgive them.

Seeing that Ji Nai had guessed it right, Yuan Xu no longer needed to hide it. He told Ji Nai the conversation between the father and his two sons and asked her to make a decision.

Ji Nai sighed. She had originally planned that even if she fell out of favor, she should wait until after she gave birth to Yinzhi. However, plans could not keep up with the rapid changes. Now, Kangxi was afraid that he would be even more displeased with Yinzhi.

……

Cining Palace

When the Empress Dowager learned that Concubine Rong had woken up, she angered the Emperor and asked Kangxi to put her under house arrest despite the fact that she was still bedridden to protect the fetus.

Even Chengrui and Saiyinchahun who pleaded for mercy were scolded, and the children of Zhongcui Palace, Rongxian, Yinhua and Yinfu were directly taken to Qianqing Palace.

To the outside world, Kangxi directly issued an edict stating that Ma Jia of Zhongcui Palace was ill and weak and unable to raise the royal heir.

This news shocked everyone in the palace. His Majesty had taken away Concubine Rong's right to raise the child personally? Doesn't that mean they all have a chance?

That was two princes and a princess. Even if she only won a princess, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. For a while, even the concubines who had been hiding, determined to keep a low profile, or unwilling to be dragged into the fight, could no longer sit still.

"Su Ma, tell me, is this true this time?"

"It doesn't look fake. After all, the decree has been issued. If it was just a show for you, the most they would do is take the children away. But once the decree is issued, it's a golden word, and there's no turning back."

The Grand Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It seems that I was overthinking it before. Concubine Rong is really not pretending. She really loves the child."

"The key is still His Majesty. He has deliberately acted harsh and ungrateful several times before in order to ease the relationship between you and Concubine Rong. This time, he and Concubine Rong have gotten into such a mess, I'm afraid he really has that intention."

"That depends on whether Concubine Rong is useful or not. If the Emperor really takes action against my great-grandson for her sake, there will be no place for him in the harem anymore."

Yuan Xu, who was sent to the Cining Palace by Ji Nai, was frightened. She was already frightened by Ji Nai's sudden outburst and the quarrel with Kangxi that almost led to a break. Now, seeing the conversation between the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu with her own eyes, she felt even colder all over.

How could that be? Hadn't the Empress Dowager softened her attitude towards Ji Nai? Hadn't she already stopped caring about Ji Nai's favor?

Even after being the exclusive favorite for several months, the Empress Dowager hadn't shown any dissatisfaction...

No, that's not right. How could the Empress Dowager not be dissatisfied!

If her mind was really so easily changed, Empress Xiaozhuang and Emperor Shunzhi would not have reached the point of discord between mother and son, either in this world or in history.
