Rong Fei is not honored

In the royal family, the royal heir is naturally more important than concubines, but the Emperor chose Concubine Rong without hesitation, which shows his true feelings.

Not to mention that afterwards, although the Emperor never set foot in Zhongcui Palace again and ignored his mistress Rong Fei, he privately summoned Imperial Physician Wu almost at the frequency of three meals a day to inquire about Rong Fei's health.

Imperial Physician Wu once speculated that if Concubine Rong's condition had not been stable, the Emperor would probably have sent Prince Yinzhi away regardless of everyone's objections.

Even if Imperial Physician Wu was not from Zhongcui Palace, but was just a simple imperial physician with a clean background, given His Majesty's attitude towards Concubine Rong, would he dare to let anything happen to her?

So after Concubine Rong gave birth, when Imperial Physician Wu was reprimanded by the Emperor, he didn't think anything of it. He was even secretly glad that his mistress was fine, otherwise he would have been buried with her.

However, when his intentions were questioned and he was taken away for interrogation, Doctor Wu felt wronged.

Of course, it was impossible that Wu Taiyi was the only one brought in for questioning. Publicly, Kangxi was making big moves, and privately, Kangxi's people were even more active.

Look, while those who are openly investigating have not yet achieved any results, those who are secretly investigating have already thoroughly investigated the "accident" during Concubine Rong's childbirth.

It has to be said that with the full support of the Lord of the Qing Dynasty behind the scenes, even a team trained and built in secret can quickly reach a certain scale.

Because of the various "accidents" that had occurred in the harem in the past and the endless means of harming people, Kangxi felt that his control over the harem was far from enough, especially after he realized that the Empress Dowager had noticed his feelings for Ji Nai and was getting closer to Saiyin Chahun.

He needed a force hidden in the dark, blending into the shadows of the Forbidden City, to monitor, investigate, and control all the evil tricks that could not appear in the sun.

Kangxi called it "shadow".

Looking at the results presented by the shadow guard, Kangxi's face was unexpectedly calm, or perhaps it could be said that the names that appeared on it were all within his expectations.

Rong Fei is pregnant this time, and there are actions in various places in the palace.

It’s not that no one had any ideas when Ji Nai was pregnant several times before, but at the beginning, with Hesheli around, it was not their turn to take action. Later, Rong Fei won the favor and held the power in the palace. Those concubines knew that they were no match for Rong Fei, so they did not dare to act rashly.

But this time, they were really afraid of Rong Fei's physique that was suitable for giving birth to a boy, and did not want to see another prince in Zhongcui Palace.

As luck would have it, a godsend opportunity came and Tonggiya took action.

This move "scared" Rong Fei's pregnancy to the point that it was unstable.

They didn't care what calculations were involved, or what roles Rong Fei and Tong Jia played. They just wanted to confirm that it was true that Rong Fei almost had a miscarriage.

Dealing with a healthy fetus is much easier than dealing with a weak fetus. The key is that there is a ready-made scapegoat.

Afterwards, they blamed everything on Tong Jia, saying that it was the sequelae of the last time. It was because of Tong Jia that Rong Fei and the royal heir became weak, and the slightest disturbance would harm the royal heir.

It would be even better if Concubine Rong couldn't bear it and followed the royal heir directly.

They have been coveting the princes in Zhongcui Palace for a long time.

As a result, some unknown event occurred and the royal heir was saved, but Rong Fei, the "victim", lost favor for no reason.

The development of the matter was beyond their expectations. Out of caution, they did not act immediately. Unexpectedly, they missed the best opportunity and Concubine Rong was confined to her house.

Logically speaking, Rong Fei's house arrest further confirmed the authenticity of her fall from favor, and they should be happy.

However, they could not be happy when they thought that Rong Fei was hiding in Zhongcui Palace and would not come out, and they would have no chance to attack the royal heir in Rong Fei's belly.

Don’t talk about being an idiot who can get his hands on Zhongcui Palace. If it were that easy, how could Rong Fei have given birth to her first few children?

Rong Fei can dominate the palace and leave everyone else far behind. How can she be a simple character? Don't be ridiculous.

If Concubine Rong couldn't even defend her own Zhongcui Palace, she wouldn't be alive today.

Thinking about it this way, the situation this time was surprisingly similar to the previous times Rong Fei was pregnant. The only difference was that Rong Fei took the initiative to stay in Zhongcui Palace to take care of the baby, while this time, she was "forced" to be trapped in her own palace.

If you think about it carefully, it is not certain whether this so-called "being forced" is true or false.

The concubines, who had already lost hope, dared not act rashly.

What if Rong Fei's fall from grace was just a play put on by the Emperor and his concubine? What if the Zhongcui Palace was not only impenetrable, but also a trap waiting for them to fall into? What if their current feelings were deliberately instigated by someone else, just to find a fool to test the waters first?

With the idea of ​​not letting others take advantage of the situation and even being able to be the one who benefits from it, all the concubines suppressed their restless hearts.

Coincidentally, after New Year's Eve, their family members thought the same thing.

With the support of their families, they are more convinced that their decision is right.

This led to the following result on the table presented to Kangxi:

Almost all the concubines in the palace took action before Concubine Rong gave birth, but various forces stopped before trying to reach into Zhongcui Palace.

But the men did not withdraw, as if they were waiting for their master to issue the next order.

Kangxi saw through these people's plan at a glance. They had evil intentions towards Ji Nai and Yin Zhi, but he was concerned about himself and was unwilling to take action himself. He wanted to wait for others to take action first so that he could reap the benefits.

The reason they did not withdraw their manpower was that they were worried that others would have the same idea, and in the end no one would take action, thus wasting this great opportunity.

So they thought that if no "accident" happened in the end, they would have to take their own fate. Even if it was a bit risky, they did not want to see Zhongcui Palace give birth to another prince.

As long as these people were wronged or suffered a loss, they would wish Kangxi to execute the other party directly. Otherwise, it would mean that he, the emperor, was biased.

But when they attack others in private, they are cruel and vicious, completely forgetting how painful it is for them to be the victim.

Just like Zhaojia, when Hesheli passed away, there was chaos in the palace. The people she left behind deliberately caused trouble. Some people who already had ill intentions towards the royal heir in Zhaojia's belly took the opportunity to attack her. Coupled with the interference of the Empress Dowager, Zhaojia's baby was almost not born.

Every time Kangxi went to Zhaojia Palace to visit the Sixth Princess, she would hug the frail Sixth Princess and cry to him.

The implicit meaning of her words is that if she had not been tricked into giving birth, the Sixth Princess would not have been born with congenital defects.

After hearing such voices so many times, it inevitably left a mark in Kangxi's heart.

What's more, the Sixth Princess looked really pitiful, so even though the mess at the time was difficult to sort out, Kangxi still ignored those who were most suspicious.

But what did Zhao Jiashi do? She immediately got involved with Yiergen Jueluoshi and used her to make the "contraceptive soup" incident a big deal.

Do you really think that Kangxi didn't care and didn't know who was hiding behind Irgen Jueluo?

Apart from Zhao Jia, who lived in the Qianqing Palace with him at the time, who else had the ability to spy on the secrets of the Qianqing Palace under the nose of Kangxi.

Kangxi only let Zhaojia go because of the Sixth Princess and was worried that she would lose her biological mother's care.

He felt sorry for the child and had some pity for Zhao Jia, but he placed a poisonous snake next to Ji Nai and personally gave the other party the knife to attack Ji Nai.

For the sake of the Sixth Princess, he did not execute Zhaojia and Irgen Jueluo together, but only gave them a few warnings. However, Zhaojia did not repent and still harbored malice towards Ji Nai.

Ji Nai had never harmed Zhao Jia's mother and daughter. Even for revenge, Zhao Jia should not have looked for Ji Nai.

What's more, Zhao Jia had suffered from difficult childbirth and often blamed herself for not being able to give Liu Gege a healthy body, but she still chose to secretly harm the other mother when she was giving birth.

A former victim, one day, chose to hurt another innocent person in the same way.

It's ridiculous that his pity for the princes and princesses actually became the basis for the child's mother to raise the knife to kill others.
