Rong Fei is not honored

Su Malagu paused, took a closer look at Concubine Rong's face, frowned, and asked, "Why does your Majesty look so grim?"

Could it be that Rong Fei was neglected by His Majesty for a long time and was afraid, so she didn't rest well during the confinement period?

Nanny Li stepped forward, winked at Su Malagu, and explained:

"Our master is extremely concerned about Prince Yinzhi's health. No matter what the servants say, he can't let go of his worries. Today, seeing how well Prince Yinzhi is being taken care of by the Empress Dowager, the master can finally rest assured."

Ji Nai smiled and explained, "It's not that I'm worried about the Grand Empress Dowager, it's really..."

Su Malagu quickly responded, "This is the Queen's motherly love, no one can find fault with it."

"Tomorrow, I will ask His Majesty for an imperial decree, and personally go to thank the Grand Empress Dowager."

"The Empress Dowager specifically instructed that you don't need to thank her. As long as you and Prince Yinzhi are doing well, the Empress Dowager will be happy."

"But……"

"If you really want to go, just wait until the next greeting day. You don't have to make a special trip."

Ji Nai looked at Su Malagu in surprise, as if she didn't understand why she said that. She looked embarrassed and reminded her, "I am still under house arrest."

So, in order to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, she could still ask the Emperor for an imperial decree and make an exception to leave the palace. But paying her respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, she was afraid...

Su Malagu sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager said that His Majesty has indeed gone too far this time. Your Majesty has suffered an unprovoked disaster. Even if Tong Jia is His Majesty's cousin, he cannot be so partial..."

Perhaps realizing she had slipped up, Su Malagu changed the subject and said, "You gave birth to a prince, which is a great achievement. You deserve a reward anyway. The Empress Dowager simply issued an imperial decree to release you from house arrest."

Ji Nai pursed his lips and said nothing, but the palace maids from Zhongcui Palace beside him were very happy. Nanny Li thanked the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu profusely.

Su Malagu interacted with Li Ma without any perfunctory attitude. Both sides were very polite and said a lot of nice things. But in fact, Su Malagu's attention was always on Rong Fei.

Finally, Ji Nai couldn't help himself and asked tentatively, "Is this just the Empress Dowager's intention, or has His Majesty also agreed?"

Su Malagu hesitated, not knowing how to respond. Finally, she said dryly, "Your Majesty is naturally aware of the Empress Dowager's decree."

knowledge?

The word "know" is very cleverly used here, as it means that Kangxi knew the Empress Dowager's intentions, but it was unclear what the other party was thinking.

After all, Kangxi also agreed to lift Ji Nai's house arrest, so when the Empress Dowager mentioned this matter, he simply went with the flow and agreed.

However, Kangxi was still reluctant to lift Ji Nai's house arrest, but after all, it was the Empress Dowager who asked for it, so he had to give her face, so he reluctantly agreed.

Su Malagu's reaction clearly hinted to Ji Nai that Kangxi's hospital belonged to the second type.

Ji Nai understood what Su Malagu meant, a trace of loneliness flashed across his face, and the pressure on his body even lowered.

"Master, please don't be confused! Even if it's for the brothers..." Nanny Li blurted out anxiously, and only realized halfway through that she shouldn't have said this because Su Malagu was still there.

Su Malagu pretended not to hear what Nanny Li said. After all, her purpose for the day had been achieved, so she bowed and said goodbye, "The Empress Dowager's orders have been fulfilled. I will not disturb the Empress and the prince's rest any longer."

Ji Nai seemed to be immersed in his own emotions and had not yet reacted. He did not express any reaction to Su Malagu's departure. It was Li Ma who took the initiative to offer to see Su Malagu off.

All along the way, Nanny Li hesitated to speak, and finally, when Su Malagu was about to leave the gate of Zhongcui Palace, she spoke: "I spoke without thinking today..."

Su Malagu raised her hand to interrupt Li Ma's explanation. "I know you're doing this for the master's own good. Concubine Rong has so many children. It's really inappropriate for her to be locked up all the time. It's also not good for the reputation of the princes and princesses."

"That's right, but the master..." After all, this matter concerned the master, so Nanny Li didn't know how to continue.

But Su Malagu understood that Rong Fei was sad about the Emperor's attitude.

Su Malagu frowned and asked worriedly, "I just saw that Concubine Rong looked very unhappy. Is she in a bad mood or is she unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li's expression froze, and then she sighed deeply and said:

"Although our master was fortunately rescued this time, his health is not as good as before. His mood was not good to begin with, so we servants dared not say anything and could only keep it a secret for now. I winked at you just now because of this."

Rong Fei's health is not good? How bad is it? And from what Li Ma said, Rong Fei herself doesn't know?

Su Malagu changed her mind and comforted Li Ma Ma again, asking her to take good care of Rong Fei and Prince Yinzhi, and then returned to the Cining Palace.

Nanny Li stood at the palace gate and watched Su Malagu's back until her figure completely disappeared, then she turned around and went back.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Ji Nai holding Prince Yinzhi and smiling gently.

If Su Malagu were to come back and see the current Rong Fei, she would find that she is completely different from before, and there is no trace of depression or weakness on her face.

"Master, Su Malagu has become suspicious and will probably come to see Doctor Lin soon."

After all, it was Imperial Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Wu who saved Concubine Rong on the day of delivery, and afterward, it was the two of them who took care of Concubine Rong's body together.

As for Imperial Physician Wu, everyone in the palace knew that he was Rong Fei's man. So, if the Cining Palace wanted to know about Rong Fei's situation, they would naturally choose to ask Imperial Physician Lin.

But who could have guessed that Imperial Physician Lin was also a member of the Zhongcui Palace? In fact, Imperial Physician Lin's surrender was earlier than Imperial Physician Wu's, and the reason why the Zhongcui Palace accepted Imperial Physician Wu was simply to cover up for Imperial Physician Lin.

Nanny Li asked worriedly, "Master, is it really okay for us to do this? After all, you are a concubine. If the Empress Dowager knew that you could no longer have children, I'm afraid..."

After all, the duties of the concubines in the palace are not only to serve the emperor well, but also to expand the royal family.

Yes, there was indeed something wrong with Ji Nai's health, so even when Doctor Lin was visited by the Empress Dowager, he was telling the truth.

"Don't worry, even if the Grand Empress Dowager knew, she would only focus on my health, which is almost exhausted and shortening my lifespan."

Compared to this, the mere inability to have children is nothing to mention.

After all, the Empress Dowager wouldn't really want to see more princes in Zhongcui Palace.

"But no matter what, once it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation." This is how it is in this era. If a woman loses the ability to bear children, what is the difference between her and a useless person?

"I can't hide it. As long as I appear in front of the people in the harem again, they will definitely start to inquire about my pulse."

Although the pulse records of every master in the Imperial Medical Bureau are confidential and no one except Kangxi and the Empress Dowager has the authority to check them, don't underestimate the means of the people in the palace.

Nanny Li still didn't understand. Even if that was the case, their master shouldn't have taken the initiative to leak the news. The longer it could be kept secret, the better.

"Mammy, have you forgotten that before I became pregnant with Yinzhi, I was truly the 'exclusive favorite'?"

During those months, Kangxi either stayed in Zhongcui Palace or rested in his own Qianqing Palace. Moreover, he slept alone in order to recuperate, and did not invite the palace maids behind the Qianqing Palace to have sex.

"You are also an old man in the palace, how could you not know the taboos of the Grand Empress Dowager?"

Nanny Li's expression immediately changed. She said weakly, "That shouldn't be the case, right? Didn't the Grand Empress Dowager say anything at the time?"

"This is the most terrifying thing. The Empress Dowager didn't want to see another Dong E Consort appear in the palace, but when she saw that His Majesty had favored me for several months, she didn't react at all.

Not to mention issuing an imperial edict to reprimand me, what if she could just find an excuse to make me copy Buddhist scriptures for a few months to teach me a lesson? Do you think she no longer cares about my exclusive favor, or...?
