Rong Fei is not honored
Chapter 74: Nara's Plot
"Oh, pathetic! You and I are in completely different situations, but how can we be the same people? Are you mocking me on purpose?"
"How are they different? Aren't they both mothers who have lost their children?"
Hearing this, the concubine opposite fell silent. She had just lost her child not long ago, so it was impossible for her to get over it so quickly.
"Sister, don't look at how glorious I am now, but in fact, this is all the compensation from His Majesty."
"Compensation? I don't understand what you mean."
"The person behind the scenes is well-connected. He caused us to lose our child without a single word. Everyone in the palace knows that he did it, but even if they know, what can they do? Even His Majesty can't do anything about it."
"Sister, do you know who killed my child?"
"Sister, why do you have to pretend to be confused with me? How many people in the harem can have this ability? But how could the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager harm our child, their own grandson? Who else could it be except that person?"
"You mean the Queen?"
"Shh, how can you say that?"
"How did sister know it was that person? Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? Where can there be evidence? Sister, have you forgotten how your sister lost her child? Wasn't there irrefutable evidence at that time? But what can we do? In the end, the queen only needed to pray for the country for three months, and the matter would be over."
"Without any evidence, how can we conclude that it was her who did it?"
"My sister is confused. Just look at the attitudes of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. They said they would punish severely, but in the end, it was left unresolved. Who else could it be besides the Queen? My sister thinks that if someone else had committed a crime, would they have been let off so easily?"
"It is also possible that it was done by Madam Ma Jia. After all, she has a prince. If she is concerned about the reputation of the prince, it is not impossible."
"If it is really her, even if we take Prince Chengrui into consideration and cannot punish her severely, there is no reason for her to be awarded palace power afterwards."
"Yes, but it was only the Queen who was punished with three months' house arrest. How could it be that the Queen was punished because of the miscarriages of several concubines and she did not manage the harem well? After all, the Queen could not have predicted the farce that day, let alone prevented it. Last time Xuemei harmed the heir to the throne, the Queen just prayed for her, but this time she clearly stated the house arrest, which is not enough to prove it."
Concubine Nara saw that the other party's expression gradually calmed down, and it was obvious that he accepted what she said.
"I came to tell you all this today because I don't want you to be a confused person. I advise you, since you have even let the Empress Dowager and His Majesty go, you should not do anything to the Queen. Otherwise, it will be a serious crime for a concubine to disrespect the Queen."
"Of course I won't disrespect her. The funny thing is that disrespecting the queen is a serious crime." But the queen was only confined to her house for murdering the heir. Is there really such a big difference in status? The former is extremely noble, while the latter's life is worthless.
The rest of the words were not spoken, but both of them understood. The more the concubine thought about the truth, the more she hated him. But she could only bury her hatred in her heart. What was the point of being disrespectful to the queen in public? It would only hurt herself.
But secretly, she didn't believe that she would never find an opportunity. Such conversations were repeated over the past few days, and only after all the concubines who had miscarried had been found did Nara stop talking.
The Queen in Kunningli saw how much the concubine Nara was jumping up and down, and she just thought it was ridiculous that she could be so rampant just because she was in charge of a small plant. Before this, she thought that the Nara family would be a big enemy, but it turned out that they were so useless.
Not long after Concubine Nara was at peace, something happened again in the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager's incident was a big deal, and the entire Forbidden City was shaken. When Ji Nai arrived, he saw the Empress Dowager leaning on the couch, talking to Emperor Kangxi who was sitting next to her.
Ji Nai glanced at the Empress Dowager's face secretly. Although it was a little pale, it was still not bad.
When the Empress Dowager saw Ji Nai coming, she smiled and said, "Look, I told you everything is fine, but you just don't believe me. If this gets out, people who don't know will think something has happened to me."
Ji Nai was still panting slightly. She had been jogging all the way here, without even waiting for the ceremony. If something really happened to the Empress Dowager, it would be even more difficult to predict what would happen next, but many people would definitely die. Fortunately, observing the Empress Dowager's demeanor, it seemed that nothing serious had happened.
"Ji Nai." Yuan Xu noticed something and reminded: "The Empress Dowager has makeup on her face, so she looks a little pale."
The makeup was applied with great care and was difficult to detect. Besides, who dared to look directly at the Grand Empress Dowager except Kangxi? Ji Nai and other concubines did not even have the opportunity to get close to the Grand Empress Dowager, so naturally they could not have noticed.
So after hearing Yuan Xu's words, Ji Nai secretly wondered who the Empress Dowager was going to deal with? But no matter what she thought in her heart, she still didn't show it on her face, and asked with a worried look on her face: "I heard that the Cining Palace invited the imperial physician, and Su Malagu looked very anxious, so I came to visit her specially."
"How can you be so honest, kid? Your head is all sweaty. Sit down and have a rest." He asked the palace servants to bring a chair to Ji Nai.
"I am fine, but the Empress Dowager's voice sounds full of energy, so I think she is in good health. I am just overthinking it."
The Empress Dowager was very relieved to hear Ji Nai's words. It was mainly because she thought more as she got older. Although she wanted others to care about her, there was a limit to her care.
If she was always treated with caution, the Empress Dowager would always feel that this was a reminder that her life had come to an end, and the slightest disturbance could extinguish the candle.
So even though the Empress Dowager was acting by using her phoenix body as an excuse, she didn't want to see the other person looking like the sky had fallen, as if the person had passed away, which would be really unlucky.
On the contrary, Ji Nai showed his concern through his actions without emphasizing it in his words. This degree was just right.
However, the emperor heard the news on his way to the Cining Palace to pay respects, so he was the first to arrive. The Empress Dowager was the second, and Ji Nai was the third. It is said that the higher the status and the wider the network, the faster the news will be received. So why is the Queen still nowhere to be seen?
Just as I thought of the Queen, someone from Kunning Palace came. It was Xuepo, the head maid of Kunning Palace. She brought the Queen's concern for the Grand Empress Dowager and explained, "The Queen is under house arrest and cannot come to visit the Grand Empress Dowager in person, but she is thinking of you in her heart. She will pray for you day and night, and only hopes that the Grand Empress Dowager can get better as soon as possible."
This would be fine if the Empress Dowager was really bedridden, but now it is clear that she is fine, so the words are not so pleasant to hear.
In fact, these were the Queen's original words, but she did not know the current condition of the Empress Dowager. She just saw Su Malagu's anxious look when she went to ask the imperial physician, and she thought that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill.
Xuepo saw the expression of the Grand Empress Dowager, but due to her status, she only caught a glimpse of her face when she came in just now, and she only felt that her face was a little pale. She did not think about why the Emperor and Ma Jia were very calm and did not look anxious.
