Chapter 87 Little Princess is Seriously Ill
It's just that he also understood that there is a great possibility that the Queen would use the little princess as a scapegoat to deal with him.
That was why Ji Nai dared to openly propose other methods to Kangxi without fear of causing Kangxi's dissatisfaction.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Did my beloved concubine just roll her eyes at me?"
Ji Nai regretted that she had gotten carried away just now, but she saw that Kangxi could joke with her now and looked much more relaxed, so she thought that he had accepted this method. However, Ji Nai still had another concern, which was the Empress Dowager.
The main reason was that Kangxi was originally hesitant, but after leaving Zhongcui Palace, he thought of a third method. Wouldn't that make the Empress Dowager think of other things, which would not be in line with his usual image?
That is, Kangxi knew her well and had deep feelings for her, so he did not become suspicious. If it was the Empress Dowager, I am afraid she would not have gotten away with it so easily.
But he did not expect that the things he was worried about were directly solved by Kangxi. It is not known whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, or whether he had other concerns. In short, after Kangxi left the next day, he did not directly issue an order.
Instead, he first stayed in the Yanx Palace for one night, then went to the Kunning Palace for another night. After that, he went to see the little princess during lunch, and then announced the decree to Concubine Zhang.
That night, Kangxi stayed in the Qianqing Palace again, and did not enter the harem for three consecutive nights. Ji Nai saw that Kangxi's intention seemed to muddy the waters of the harem. But now that Oboi and his followers had not been dealt with, did Kangxi still have the energy to make arrangements in the harem?
In fact, Ji Nai forgot that this was the cause she had sown. It was Ji Nai's reminder that made Kangxi realize that the former dynasty and the harem were closely connected.
Even if he is busy with the affairs of the former dynasty, he cannot ignore the harem. Otherwise, if someone continues to become arrogant, the safety of everyone in the harem, especially the royal heir, will be unguaranteed.
It can be said that although Kangxi's decree had other considerations, a large part of it was for the children.
He took into consideration that the little princess would be taken care of wholeheartedly if she stayed with her biological mother; he even considered that in the eyes of the people in the harem, Concubine Zhang was not a threat, and neither was the little princess, so the mother and daughter could live a stable life.
But Kangxi did not consider Concubine Zhang's brain, that is, she was an insane fool. If she had a sober mind, she would know that this was for the good of herself and the child. As long as she stayed with the child, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
Perhaps it was because among so many pregnant concubines, she was the only one who gave birth to a child safely, which scared Concubine Zhang; or perhaps it was because the Queen was ordered to take care of Concubine Zhang's pregnancy, so she sent good things into Chuxiu Palace like water, and those things had already exceeded the share of a concubine, and it was such wealth that dazzled Concubine Zhang.
In short, now Concubine Zhang only wanted to get close to the Queen. After learning about the Emperor's decree, Concubine Zhang not only failed to understand Kangxi's good intentions, but even complained that the Emperor left the child to her. If she could push it to Ma Jia, maybe the Queen would accept the olive branch she offered.
During this period, the irritable Concubine Zhang was thinking about finding another way to show the Empress her sincerity, thus ignoring the frail Little Princess. You know, it is normal for servants in this palace to flatter the powerful and trample on the weak.
There were loyal servants, but unfortunately the ones around the little princess were not. Originally, after Concubine Zhang became pregnant, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already selected the servants to serve the young master. They thought they would become the prince's wet nurses like the previous ones.
When the young master grows up, gets married and leaves the palace to set up a mansion, I can follow him. If I have great means, I can even suppress the mistress of the house, whether it is the front yard or the back yard, as long as I have power, what's the worry about not being rich?
Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhang turned out to be an unlucky person, and gave birth to a sickly little princess. What's the use of a princess? Even if she is a princess of the royal family, she will still have to marry a distant Mongolian princess when she grows up.
Generally speaking, as a wet nurse, she must marry with the princess. Compared with the capital, the grassland is poor and remote. And they are not willing to be so far away from their families.
Besides, the little princess's biological mother, Concubine Zhang, did not look like a scheming person, and she was not lucky enough to gain the favor of the Emperor.
So, after realizing that Concubine Zhang had neglected the little princess, the people who served the little princess became bolder and tried to take action against her.
They didn't do anything, except not taking good care of her, occasionally letting the little princess go hungry and let her get some fresh air. But the child was weak, especially the little princess who was born with deficiencies, so she couldn't stand such torture. So she fell ill every other day.
Now, Concubine Zhang felt even more troubled. If the little princess was sent to Zhongcui Palace, then it would be Ma Jia's responsibility now, so there was no need for her to worry about the little princess's health. Concubine Zhang subconsciously did not want to see her daughter again.
She could never have imagined that the reason why the child fell ill so frequently was because the servant who took care of the little princess saw that she, the biological mother, was not paying attention, so he had bad intentions. He thought that as long as the little princess died, they could return to the Imperial Household Department, which was better than waiting for the little princess to grow up and marry with her far away.
Concubine Zhang Shu had always known that the little princess was not in good health and had been sick frequently before, so even though she had been sick more frequently recently, she did not pay much attention to it. It was not until this day when the imperial physician said that the little princess was not feeling well that Concubine Zhang Shu began to panic.
If something really happened to the little princess, would His Majesty hate her for it? No, she wouldn't, she was the little princess's biological mother.
If the little princess died, she, as her biological mother, would naturally be the saddest one, and she was also a victim. It was all Ma Jia's fault. If Ma Jia had raised the little princess, nothing would have happened to her.
If Yuan Xu knew her thoughts, he would definitely sigh: Parents like Zhang will never realize that they are wrong. As long as something happens to their child, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, they will find the murderer who caused the accident to the child, and that person cannot be themselves anyway.
Ever since Ji Nai knew that the little princess was often ill, she felt that there might be something fishy going on with the palace servants who served her. However, she mentioned it to Kangxi several times, but he did not take it to heart, so Ji Nai could only sigh and stop talking.
She understood what Kangxi was thinking. He simply felt that Concubine Zhang was the child's biological mother, so she should be very attentive when taking care of the little princess. If the servants who served the little princess were not doing a good job, he would naturally notice it. But now that he didn't say anything, it showed that those servants were not at fault.
