Rong Fei is not honored

"That's right, but even so, there are still people who are more willing to believe it's a conspiracy."

Noble Lady Sochoro began to get restless and wanted to interrupt Noble Lady Nara, but was stopped by the other with a smile: "Don't rush, the important point is coming right now?"

"The Empress fell ill, and rumors spread that were detrimental to Consort Rong. Then, the Niohuru family of the previous dynasty began to target the Hesheli family. Subsequently, Consort Rong and Uya clan got into trouble."

As a result, Consort Rong's hand was crippled. If she were to come to ask for advice again in the future, the other party would probably... My Wan Fu, it would be a miracle if he could even save his life. As for getting rid of his weakness and recovering his health, I don't expect it at all.

Fortunately, Lady Uya only suffered a miscarriage scare; otherwise, she would have lost the pregnancy, and Consort Rong would have been ruined. How could her children escape the consequences of their mother's actions? At that time…”

At that time, the only one in the palace who could threaten the Crown Prince was Yinqi, who was disliked by the Emperor.

Now, without Noble Lady Nara saying it directly, Noble Lady Sochoro could guess what the other party was implying.

"What a... clever scheme!"

When Consort Suochuoluo finally realized what had happened, she felt a chill run through her body. She truly hadn't expected that the mountain that had once weighed heavily on the heads of everyone in the harem, even in death, could still cause them so much unrest.

"Unfortunately, the princesses in the palace also suffered an undeserved calamity."

It was truly an undeserved disaster. Pregnancy was difficult, and after finally giving birth, without exception, they were all born with congenital deficiencies. When Empress Hesheli died, she went mad again and almost wiped out all the princes and princesses in the palace.

This time, in order to scheme against Consort Rong, they dashed their hopes once again.

Lady Sochoro gritted her teeth in hatred. She wouldn't think that it was her own suspicion and distrust that caused her to miss the precious opportunity for her daughter to recover. She only knew that it was all the fault of the Hesheli family.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Noble Lady Sochoro left quickly.

Noble Lady Nara didn't linger. She knew that the other party was leaving in a hurry, most likely to exchange information with the mothers of the other princesses.

“My lord, you have said far too much today. If Noble Sochoro intends to harm you, he might spread what you just said…”

“She wouldn’t. She’s focused on her role as a princess and what’s going on with the Hesheli family right now. How could she have time to cause trouble for me? Besides, there’s no conflict of interest between us.”

If Lady Sochoro had a son, or if there was still a chance of her giving birth to a prince, Consort Nara would choose someone else.

“My son, who in this palace cares about him besides me? But my strength alone is far from enough to contend with the Hesheli family. I must drag more people down with me.”

During this turbulent time, Emperor Kangxi intensified his surveillance of the palaces. The not-so-secret conversation between Consort Nara and Consort Socholo was soon presented to the Emperor.

Kangxi saw through Nara Consort's scheme, but made no reaction. He simply chuckled and said, "Indeed, there is no shortage of clever people in this palace." He then ordered, "Keep an eye on them. If they don't target the imperial heir and Zhongcui Palace, let them be."

If you have the guts to harm others, you should also be prepared to face retaliation.

Consort Nara was able to analyze the cause and effect to determine that the Hesheli family was the biggest suspect, and thus reasonably deduce the course of events. Emperor Kangxi, who knew the truth about Empress Niohuru's illness in advance, could not possibly not have noticed that the Hesheli family was behind it.

He just didn't expect that the Hesheli family would use the Uya clan to target Jinai. Who could have imagined that?

Although Ji Nai's trip to the Southern Three Palaces was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, not everyone could know her itinerary. Furthermore, Wuya's background was too low; if it weren't for this incident, no one would have taken her seriously.

Would an elephant pay attention to an ant that gets close to it?

Ironically, it was the Uya clan member, who was largely ignored by everyone, who dared to risk her pregnancy to scheme against Consort Rong, who was second only to the Empress and held a position of great power among the concubines.

Was she so confident that she wasn't part of a conspiracy? Or did she think that no one would dare to harm the child in her womb?

Emperor Kangxi understood the Hesheli family's motives and schemes, but he couldn't see what role Uya Shi played in it—a pawn? A henchman? Or an ally?

Could a bondservant be an ally of the Hesheli family? In the past, Kangxi would never have thought of this, since it was common for "noblemen" to be arrogant and haughty. But now Kangxi thought differently.

Although the Uya family originated from the bannermen, their lowliness was only due to their surname. Their power, especially within the royal family, was immeasurable.

If the Hesheli family is interested in the Uya family's extensive network of connections and inherent secrecy, and wants to do something through the Uya family...

Emperor Kangxi even suspected that the reason why Empress Hesheli was able to commit several shocking crimes while she was alive was because she had already colluded with the Uya family after he and the Empress Dowager had worked together to cleanse the harem several times.

They removed the spies planted by the Hesheli family, focusing primarily on servants connected to the Hesheli family. However, the Kangxi Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not touch those bondservant servants with "clean family backgrounds."

The masters in the palace need servants; how could they possibly slaughter everyone? Even if they did kill them all, wouldn't they just have to choose people from those few bondservant families later?

On the other side, Cheng Rui and Saiyinchahun, who were recuperating in bed, heard that their mother wanted to see them. After a long silence, they finally decided to be dutiful sons.

They simply couldn't bear to see their mother, who was still recovering from her injuries, come to the South Third Hospital. Although her injury was to her hand, they...

Cheng Rui and Saiyinchahun, grimacing and protecting their swollen buttocks, helped each other as they slowly made their way to Zhongcui Palace. They even had to feign nonchalance.

After all, as everyone knows, Mother only gave them a "gentle" reprimand.

"Mother." The two brothers lowered their heads, looking extremely aggrieved.

"sit down."

Even though it was their beloved mother who said these words, Cheng Rui and Saiyinchahun couldn't help but distort their expressions for a moment.

Ji Nai chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there are cushions."

Cheng Rui and Saiyinchahun looked over and, sure enough, saw the cushion on the chair; it was soft and had a concave curve.

After her two audacious sons sat down, Ji Nai said earnestly, "Do you know why your mother beat you?"

"Because we disrespected Amma."

Ji Nai shook his head. "That's just the superficial reason."

Chengrui and Saiyinchahun looked up at their mother, their eyes filled with the innocent confusion of children. So, their belief that their mother felt sorry for their father was wrong; their belief that they understood their mother was also wrong?

"Your mother has always hoped that you would be close to your father, and has always taught you to treat your father as your father, not as the emperor. How could she get so angry just because her sons are dissatisfied with their father?"
