Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Seeing Concubine Wu's reaction, everyone was shocked. What the two palace maids said was actually true. Concubine Wu really did want to restore the throne and deliberately made the Fourteenth Prince sick in order to win the emperor's pity. However, everyone did not feel too shocked after hearing it.

Although this method is rare in the palace, it does exist and is indeed very useful. However, the prerequisite is that it is not discovered by the emperor.

It was obvious that Concubine Wu was not careful in her actions. Not only was she discovered by the Emperor, which had a counterproductive effect and caused her to lose the position that should have been restored, but now she has been discovered and used as a tool to set up a trap against her.

"This... Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Prince is the heir to the throne. How could Concubine Wu deliberately harm the Fourteenth Prince in order to regain the throne?"

Concubine Hui covered her upturned lips with a handkerchief, then looked up with a look of disbelief.

"No wonder Fourteenth Prince has been acting abnormally recently. He must have known about this incident and was sad, so he didn't want to go to Yonghe Palace. He was distracted and accidentally fell into the water and almost lost his life. Poor Fourteenth Prince, he was only six years old!"

I didn't expect to receive a surprise when I came to the prince's residence today. Concubine Wu has two princes. Now there is a chance to step on her, and of course she can't let it go.

Rong Fei looked shocked.

Disagree:

"Sister Wupin, you are wrong. How can you win favor by hurting the Fourteenth Prince? What if something happened to the Fourteenth Prince?"

She really disagreed. In her heart, favor and status were not as important as the health of the Third Prince.

Concubine Xi also followed suit, because the Fourth Prince had snatched the designated Crown Princess away, and the Hesheli clan all remembered it.

Among the four concubines, Concubine Yi was not here at the moment because she was bedridden. In the corner, the Fourth Lady, who came to visit her brother-in-law, did not expect such a thing to happen. She turned pale, terrified, and knelt down immediately.

Shi Rongyue also knelt down following the Fourth Lady.

Shi Nanxi, who had remained silent the whole time, did not join the other three concubines in adding insult to injury. Instead, she looked at the Fourteenth Prince lying on the bed. It was obvious that something was wrong with him.

"Your Majesty, look at the Fourteenth Prince!" she said anxiously.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone subconsciously looked at the Fourteenth Prince, only to see that his face was red and his eyes were blurry and lifeless. It was obvious that he had a high fever.

Kangxi's expression suddenly changed and he called for the imperial physician immediately. Everyone else stopped talking quickly. Even Concubine Wu didn't care about what would happen if she was exposed and hurried to look at the imperial physician.

After the imperial physician finished examining him, he found out that the Fourteenth Prince had just woken up after falling into the water. He was already weak and had been greatly frightened, which led to his sudden high fever.

Then he gave acupuncture, instructed the servants to apply cold towels, and wrote prescriptions for boiling medicine. During this time, Fourteenth Prince's cheeks were red due to fever and his mind was dizzy, but he kept mumbling to plead for mercy for his mother or that he was wrong.

Kangxi did not say anything. The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician had a sedative and sleeping effect. After the Fourteenth Prince drank it, his eyelids could hardly open. But he did not expect that he still remembered to hold Kangxi's hand tightly and begged for mercy:

"Father Emperor, please don't punish my mother. I beg you not to punish my mother. I don't blame my mother. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have fallen into the water without paying attention. I have hurt my mother..."

Kangxi held the burning little hand in his palm, looking at the Fourteenth Prince who was waiting for his answer and didn't want to go to sleep, and he hated Concubine Wu more and more.

How could he not punish her? The royal bloodline was not something a vicious woman like her could use to harm and win favor.

Not punishing her would not be enough to ease his hatred, and it was also to intimidate the concubines in the six palaces. But how could he bear to see Fourteen do this?

When Concubine Wu saw this scene, a thought quickly flashed through her mind, and she rushed to the bed, hugged the Fourteenth Prince, and burst into tears.

"Fourteenth Prince, mother was wrong, mother was wrong. You are sick, take the medicine, go to sleep! Don't worry about mother. Mother must bear the punishment for doing something wrong. That is, mother can no longer accompany Fourteenth Prince. You must listen to your royal father in the future and study hard and practice martial arts..."

The Fourteenth Prince was startled when he heard this, and he opened his eyes wide and looked at the Emperor intently.

The whole room was filled with Concubine Wu's suppressed crying.

Shi Nanxi looked at Wupin. Did she really think she was wrong? Or did she only think that her mistake was that she had not planned carefully enough and miscalculated the emperor's intentions, which led to the discovery of the plot, and only she knew about it.

However, she was sure that his repentance was not pure. If he was really worried about the Fourteenth Prince, he should have let him fall asleep as soon as possible instead of hugging him and crying, telling him about the future and irritating him. But at the same time, these words were sincere.

Because she knew very well that there was a high possibility that she would never see the Fourteenth Prince again.

She was betting that the emperor would spare her life for the sake of the Fourteenth Prince.

However, he should not die, because Kangxi has to consider the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince, as well as the two princesses. Especially the Fourteenth Prince. Today's incident was caused by him. If Concubine Wu is really executed, he is afraid that he will not be able to live with it for the rest of his life.

Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi, whose face was gloomy and his expression was hard to tell. In the end, he did not answer the Fourteenth Prince's question about whether to punish Wupin, but only said:

"Fourteen, go to sleep first. When you wake up and feel better, you can still see your mother in the future."

The Fourteenth Prince had already been drowsy for a long time, but after hearing that he could still see his mother, he finally let go of the Emperor's hand with peace of mind, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Kangxi gently tucked the quilt for the Fourteenth Prince, then turned and looked coldly at Concubine Wu who was crying on the side of the bed. Without saying a word, he stood up and walked towards the outer room, followed by everyone else.

Concubine Wu, who was left behind, breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor still spared her life for the sake of the Fourteenth Prince. She looked back at the sleeping Fourteenth Prince, stood up with a heavy face, and walked towards the outer room.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. As long as the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are around, she still has a chance to turn the tables.

In the outer room, Kangxi sat on a chair with a gloomy face, slowly stroking his jade ring. Others sat on both sides, and the atmosphere was solemn and serious.

Concubine Wu walked forward and knelt on the ground without any excuses or begging for mercy.

Kangxi looked at Concubine Wu coldly:

"I really misjudged you back then. My cousin said you were gentle, quiet, and honest. I never expected you to be such an ambitious and vicious woman!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Wu bowed her head to the ground:

"Your Majesty, I was wrong for a moment and failed you and Empress Xiaoyi. I know I was wrong, please..."

Before she could finish her words, a teacup fell heavily beside her. A piece of broken porcelain just scratched the back of her hand. Blood immediately oozed out of the wound, but Concubine Wu dared not move.

"A momentary thought? Do you believe it yourself?"

There was a storm in Kangxi's phoenix eyes. Why did Shi Rongyue fall and have bleeding in the palace when she was pregnant? How did Concubine Hui know about the affair between the Crown Prince and Shi Rongyue, and how did she spread the rumors?

She was behind all of this. At that time, for the sake of their four children, he simply demoted her and stripped her of her title as a warning.

But I didn't expect that in order to restore her throne, she would disregard the Fourteenth Prince's health and drug him in an attempt to win his sympathy. How hateful, so hateful.

Shi Nanxi remained silent. The Fourth Lady and Shi Rongyue, who were standing in the corner, also lowered their heads. Concubine Hui and the others did not dare to speak casually at this time.

After a while, Kangxi made up his mind and said in a deep voice:

"My concubine, Wuya, has used all means to regain her position. I am deeply saddened. I am demoting her to a concubine. From now on, she will not be allowed to come out."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, stood up and left. Shi Nanxi glanced at Wu Da Ying who was in a state of dismay, stood up and followed him away.

When passing by Shi Rongyue, he noticed that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Her expression remained unchanged, but after stepping over the threshold, she looked back at the house, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.

It would not be so smooth for Shi Rongyue, a prince's concubine, to get things done in the palace. The rest is all her credit!
