Rong Fei is not honored

Seeing the changes in Nara's expression, Ji Nai knew that the other party had figured it out, but not quite.

She didn't care about Consort Nara's little schemes and continued, "Nara clan, on the matter of wanting to save Wan Fu, you are of the same mind."

"His Majesty is not a heartless person. As Wan Fu's father, how could he not feel sorry for him? But even as an emperor, he has his own helplessness."

Consort Nara suddenly found it ridiculous. Of course, it was herself who was ridiculous, not Consort Rong who had truly fallen in love with an emperor.

Intelligent people know that falling in love with an emperor has no good ending, because emperors are creatures without true feelings.

Rumors had circulated in the palace that the Emperor and Consort Rong were in love. At the time, many people mocked Consort Rong, certain that she would be smashed to pieces.

Some people simply don't believe that a smart person like Consort Rong would give her heart. How could someone who climbed from a lowly concubine to a high position be someone who acts on emotion?

At that moment, she truly believed it.

Perhaps it was because of Consort Rong's sincerity that the Emperor doted on her so much, and even though she had fallen out of favor at one point, he still couldn't let her go.

At the same time, Consort Nara began to believe that Consort Rong truly had goodwill towards the imperial heirs in the palace, because she had fallen in love with that man, and therefore, out of love for him, she was also willing to treat his children well.

Consort Nara felt that Wan Fu had a chance again, and she pleaded, "Please have pity on Wan Fu, just for the sake of His Majesty."

But she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

"I cannot get involved. Remember, it's not that I'm unwilling, but that I cannot. That's why His Majesty also refused your request."

Noble Lady Nara was truly bewildered; she didn't understand why Consort Rong would say such a thing.

Ji Nai said, word by word, "If it weren't for Wan Fu being in imminent danger, Consort Nara, do you really think my cooking skills could save a life?"

After saying that, Ji Nai gave a self-deprecating laugh. What could save lives couldn't possibly be cooking skills, but rather the spiritual liquid added to the food. However, apart from her and Yuan Xu, no one else would know this.

"You love your son so much that you have no other choice but to regard me as your last hope. But who knows if there is someone pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

Otherwise, how could you so readily believe that it was I who saved the Empress Dowager and the others? You want to believe it for Wan Fu's sake, but on the other hand, didn't anyone whisper anything in your ear?

Consort Nara was well aware of why those people kept mentioning the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and even the examples of the eldest princess and Chengrui in her ear.

But as I said before, how could Consort Rong compare to my Wan Fu?

"It's true that I'm the one in trouble, but who's the source of this trouble? Don't glare at me, it's the truth. And have you ever considered what those who want my troubles to escalate might do to your son?"

Noble Lady Nara's face turned pale instantly.

"Even if the food I make is truly miraculous, given Wan Fu's current condition, can he afford to make even the slightest mistake?"

Of course, what Ji Nai said might not happen, and with her vigilance and Kangxi's manpower, she might still be able to guard against those schemes.

But who would dare to gamble, to risk Wan Fu's life?

"I am not Wan Fu's lifeline, but his death warrant. I understand this clearly, so I cannot help. His Majesty also understands this, so after weighing the pros and cons, he is unwilling to gamble with Wan Fu's life."

"But those people might not be able to stop them!"

Even if the food you make doesn't have miraculous effects, at least it will allow Wan Fu to use more of it, and who knows, maybe he'll be able to wait until the day he gets better.

Instead of having to endure such hardship day after day with his tiny body!

Noble Lady Nara was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Knowing that you would think that way, His Majesty didn't explain to you, preferring that you complain about him."

Ji Nai couldn't bear to look at Consort Nara anymore. As a mother herself, she could understand her. If it were Cheng Rui and the others, she would feel the same way...

However, "believe it or not, as long as word gets out that you brought something back from Zhongcui Palace today, Wan Fu's condition will definitely worsen!"

Noble Lady Nara hurriedly assured him, "No, the people guarding Wan Fu are all my trusted confidants. They won't let any villains get close."

Seeing that Consort Rong was still unwilling to budge, she gritted her teeth and asked for a guarantee, pleading, "If Wan Fu is safe after today, may Your Highness lend a helping hand?"

Ji Nai originally wanted to refuse directly. Since the outcome was destined to be disappointing, why give the other party hope?

But just as she was about to refuse, she suddenly remembered something and changed her mind, saying, "Seven days is the limit."

"Your Majesty!" Granny Li tried to stop her, but Ji Nai interrupted her with his hand.

Consort Nara was confident that she could keep Wan Fu, and left with profuse thanks.

After everyone left, Granny Li disagreed, saying, "Why did you have to say so much to her, Master? Noble Lady Nara is only thinking about Prince Wanfu. In her eyes, your explanations are just excuses and a waste of breath."

"I simply couldn't bear to see her loving heart for her son become a puppet that others could manipulate."

“But if nothing happens in these seven days, should we really help them? Not to mention whether someone will use this as an excuse to cause trouble, even if… Noble Nala will still hate us in the end.”

Prince Wanfu doesn't seem destined for a long life. It's more acceptable for someone else to bear the blame than for not taking good care of his son.

Ji Nai finally spoke his mind:

"Granny, don't you think things are going to turn out badly? Compared to those bloody killing moves, this tactic of flattery to kill is truly ingenious."

Regardless of how Cheng Rui and the eldest princess's affair was brought up, now, first it's the Empress Dowager, then the Empress, and now it's Wan Fu.

The Empress Dowager only remembered me after hearing Saiyinchahun's boasting. As for the Empress, it was Consort Tongjia who stirred up trouble. Consort Nara loved her son dearly, so she regarded me as her last hope.

One after another, are these really just coincidences? Can you guess who will be next? Is it someone I can refuse again?

The fact that the person is still alive is irrefutable proof that I am useful. In the eyes of those who are already in despair, this is the truth they want to see.

"But if we can't save them, I'll be the first one blamed, and they might even suspect that I didn't do my best." The more Ji Nai spoke, the colder his eyes became.

In just one year, three people needed her food. Ji Nai was unsure if someone had already discovered something and was deliberately testing her.

Or was he just plotting against her?

Not to mention, in her previous life, Lady Nara became pregnant with Yinzhi in May of this year. If things don't change in this life... Wan Fu's condition is not good, but he won't be in any immediate danger.
