Rong Fei is not honored

If even his own son could be so cruel, what about Kangxi, who was a generation apart?

Don’t even talk about intergenerational kinship. Even intergenerational kinship requires an emotional foundation.

Moreover, could a Grand Empress Dowager who once had real power and an emperor who held absolute power really give up their usual insistence for the other?

Not to mention this life, the relationship between Kangxi and the Empress Dowager was not that deep. Even in history, did Kangxi allow the Khorchin woman to continue to enjoy unlimited glory in the Qing harem for the sake of the Empress Dowager?

Both Concubine Hui and Concubine Xuan, who were from Khorchin, were never favored and had no children in their lives. They were just invisible figures in the flourishing harem of the Kangxi Dynasty.

Even if Kangxi did not want Borjigit to give birth to an heir for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he should have honored her for the rest of her life, even for the sake of the Empress Dowager.

Not to mention Concubine Hui. Although she enjoyed the status of a concubine, she was actually just a concubine and was only posthumously honored after her death.

Concubine Xuan entered the palace in the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, but was not conferred the title of Concubine Xuan until the 57th year. Before that, she had always been a noble lady and had not even been given the position of a concubine.

She must go back quickly and tell Ji Nai!

【Are you back? 】

The weak woman leaning on the bed looked at the panicked Yuan Xu and sneered: [It seems that my thoughts were right.]

"Ji Nai, did you know that the Empress Dowager was going to attack you?"

If the news of my pregnancy hadn't arrived in time, the Empress Dowager would have already taken action. Just because I was her exclusive favorite for a while, she wouldn't have tolerated me.

"No, why? It's obvious that the Empress Dowager has been..."

[She is not stupid, and naturally knows her position in Kangxi's heart. Just because her own son would not kill his mother, it does not mean that her grandson would not do the same.

Moreover, with the precedent of Emperor Shunzhi and Consort Dong E, how could they possibly put all their thoughts on the table and fight to the point of mutual destruction?

She attacked me in private and then put the blame on the concubines. With her methods, Kangxi might not be able to find out the truth.

First of all, it’s normal for me to be envied because I have a favorite and a son, isn’t it?

Secondly, Saiyin Chahun, who lost his mother's protection, would naturally become closer to the empress dowager, and being close to the empress dowager meant being close to Khorchin.

Once Saiyinchahun is really tied to Korchin, can Chengrui, Yinhua and Yinfu still distance themselves from it?

Don't forget, Rongxian has to be supported. Although her marriage is also a matter of state, the Empress Dowager can still interfere in the marriage of her great-granddaughter, even if there is a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

Do you think Chengrui and Saiyinchahun would accept the goodwill offered by the Empress Dowager so that their sisters can live a better life?

Thirdly, Tong Jia had already entered the palace, and I got into trouble this time because of her. It was only natural that I would be retaliated against by her afterwards.

Even if Empress Xiaokangzhang left some people in the harem, how could they resist the Empress Dowager who had been in power for decades? Not to mention, Tong Jia had just entered the palace and had not yet integrated the power of the Tong family.

The Empress Dowager saw that Kangxi had feelings for me. If I was repeatedly murdered by the Tonggiya clan and finally died, there would be two lives lost.

Do you think that the legacy of Empress Xiaokangzhang can still protect the Tong family?

Killing two birds with one stone, eliminating both my and the Tong family's two biggest threats at the same time. What a great opportunity! If I were the Empress Dowager, I would also choose to take action at this time.]

"So, the Empress Dowager's conciliatory attitude over the years was all fake? It was all to paralyze Kangxi and clear herself of suspicion."

[It may not have been the case at the beginning. I guess Kangxi did something that made the Empress Dowager mistakenly believe that although he favored me, he might not be truly sincere towards me.

But... the Empress Dowager had lived through three dynasties, so it was okay for her to be deceived temporarily, but how could she not see through this little trick?

However, Kangxi's mind was mostly on the former dynasty, and the calmness of the harem in the past two years and the Empress Dowager's intention to seek peace made him careless.

Therefore, Ji Nai's original plan was to deliberately stage a scene of difficult labor and hemorrhage during the delivery, so as to put the blame on Tong Jia's head.

Although she was rescued in the end, both she and Yinzhi were "injured". Yinzhi was as weak as Yinfu, and she had lost her ability to bear children. This only slightly relieved the pressure of the raging fire in Zhongcui Palace.

Of course, I couldn't serve the Empress Dowager in bed as I needed to recuperate. After that, Uya, Guo Luoluo and others would appear in the Empress Dowager's sight one after another.

With so many beautiful women in the harem, his old lover who had fallen into obscurity was naturally no longer such an eyesore.

At that time, she would chase Kangxi and ask him to give her justice. On one side was herself, and on the other side was her mother's family. It would be difficult for Kangxi to give up, but what Ji Nai wanted was his hesitation.

As long as Kangxi hesitated, Ji Nai would have an excuse to bring up the old matter again and quarrel with Kangxi. The best thing would be to anger the emperor and cause him to fall out of favor.

Anyway, her children have all returned, so Kangxi's favor is naturally unnecessary. Although it is a bit unfair to Kangxi, she can only let him down for the safety of herself and her children.

But Ji Nai changed her plan temporarily. She didn't want to get involved with Tong Jia anymore and wanted to destroy all possibilities of Tong Jia gaining favor right from the beginning.

The consequence was that Kangxi cared about Ji Nai and did not want to lose her, so he would rather abandon the child.

The Empress Dowager absolutely could not tolerate Kangxi's idea.

Originally, because of the exclusive favor, the Empress Dowager was ready to take action against Ji Nai, but she was concerned about the royal heir and had the patience to wait until the birth. Now...

As long as Kangxi made up his mind, the Empress Dowager could send him and Yinzhi to death in the next second.

Yuan Xu, who knew Ji Nai's plan...

"Have you ever considered that after Zhong Cuigong fell out of favor, Cheng Rui and the others would be like fish on the chopping board, helpless?"

[Of course I thought about it, but my mother is useless, and the Cining Palace and the Qianqing Palace will only pay more attention to it.

Kangxi has feelings for Chengrui, Rongxian, and the others, and they wouldn't ignore their younger brothers. It's just that my Yinzhi has suffered, and I'm afraid we'll still have a shallow father-son relationship in this life.

Yuan Xu wanted to ask, was the quarrel between Ji Nai and Kangxi really an act? Wasn't it just an opportunity to vent and express his feelings?

Also, will Ji Nai's ruthless words, which stab Kangxi in the heart, really not affect Kangxi's feelings towards Chengrui and others?

Whenever he recalled that scene, Yuan Xu's heart trembled...

Kangxi sat at the head of the bed and gently held Ji Nai in his arms, while Chengrui and Saiyin Chahun stood by the bed, looking at his mother worriedly.

"Did I scare you today? Don't worry, I'm fine, and the child is fine too." Ji Nai stroked his lower abdomen and smiled gently.

In contrast, the father and his two sons all changed their expressions.

Kangxi ignored the gazes of his two sons. He had not yet figured out what to say. Others did not know how Ji Nai had developed a heart disease, but didn't he, the culprit, know it?

Ji Nai was weak now and could not withstand the blow. Kangxi knew that some words, once spoken, could not be undone, so he was still hesitant.

Of course, Kangxi's hesitation wasn't whether to abandon their son Xiaoliu for Ji Nai. That wasn't really a multiple-choice question, was it? He had only one answer.

Kangxi's chest was pressed against Ji Nai's back, and the two people's temperatures blended and intertwined, becoming inseparable. If they were cut off with a sharp blade, the flesh would be blurred.

Even though Kangxi didn't think Ji Nai would go that far, he didn't want to see her try to escape.

"Mother..." Chengrui felt soft-hearted and could not continue after just starting to speak.

Such a truth is so cruel to my mother!

Seeing that his father and elder brother were of no use, Saiyinchahun had no choice but to do it himself. However, when the words came to his lips, he found it so difficult to say them.

"Mother, you won't be willing to abandon us, right?" Saiyin Chahun buried his face in Ji Nai's hands to avoid her sight.

Ji Nai's smile froze. He took a deep breath and said, "Did something happen? Or is my condition very bad?"

At this point, even if Kangxi didn't want to say it, he couldn't really let his two sons bear most of the firepower in the front.

Although he was shamefully moved for a moment, his sense of responsibility as a father ultimately prevailed.

Kangxi told Ji Nai the imperial physician's diagnosis and speculation. He opened his mouth and wanted to say, "I don't want to lose you!" But he was afraid that the same thing would happen again.

But even if Kangxi didn't say it out loud, Ji Nai still didn't let him go.
