Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have absolutely no intention of disobeying you. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Kangxi looked at the Eighth Prince coldly, his mouth opening and closing as he said:

"Eighth Prince, born to a lowly woman in the Xinzheku, has been arrogant and treacherous since childhood. When I was ill, my ministers recommended that he inherit the throne. I was helpless and had no choice but to release the unappointed prince. For years, I was extremely depressed. Eighth Prince still wanted to follow his original intention, forming a clique with treacherous ministers and rebels, secretly committing treacherous acts. I fear that in the future, there will be brothers who act like dogs and pigs, relying on my kindness, raising an army to force me to abdicate and enthronize the Eighth Prince. If so, I can only die with a smile on my face. I am deeply angry and am here to reason with you, the princes. Obey my will and then you will act like a loyal subject."

Su Chou bowed deeply and respectfully, his dark eyes filled with calmness, as if he had anticipated this outcome.

The Eighth Lady was in a panic. She cried and shook her head, unable to believe that Kangxi would say that.

The Eighth Prince's face was so pale that he couldn't bear it anymore. He had never expected that in Kangxi's heart, he was actually such a traitor!

He understood that the royal family was indifferent.

I should have known this earlier. The prince was so favored back then, but what kind of ending did he have in the end?

Even the legitimate son of Empress Yuan was like this, let alone the son of a lowly maid in Xinzheku!

The Eighth Prince's eyes slowly closed, then slowly opened again. He looked up at Kangxi with tears in his eyes, but he still managed to speak: "What happened today was all done by this son and this minister alone. My wife and mother are unaware of this. Please, Your Majesty, do not implicate them!"

Kangxi glanced at the Eighth Prince indifferently without saying anything. Liang Jiugong stood quietly by the side. As long as the Emperor gave the order, he would immediately drag the Eighth Prince away.

Kangxi still did not kill his son, he just confined the eighth prince to the palace.

Although the Eighth Prince saved his life, he completely lost his hope of becoming the crown prince and was basically ruined.

After the Eighth Prince dealt with the matter, the Fourteenth Prince also received his punishment.

Kangxi sent him to the border, saying that he was allowed to redeem himself for his crime, but in fact it was the Fourteenth Prince who asked for the order himself.

The young man's handsome face was filled with longing and determination. He wanted to establish military merit on the border so that he could protect his mother, his fourth sister-in-law... Honghui... and his fourth brother.

Therefore, it is more of an experience than a punishment.

Kangxi has always valued this son. This time, when he went to the border, he gave the Fourteenth Prince a lot of people to protect his safety.

…………

Before leaving, the Fourth Prince specifically asked Kangxi for permission to take Concubine De and Concubine Yixiu to the palace gate to see off the Fourteenth Prince.

A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Concubine De touched the Fourteenth Prince's cheek with heartache, and tears filled her eyes.

"Fourteenth Brother, don't try to be a hero on the battlefield. You must protect yourself. Do you hear me? Remember to eat well there. Wear more clothes when it's cold. If you need anything, write to Mother and she will send someone to deliver it to you..."

At first, Prince Fourteen could still listen to Concubine De's chatter, but in the end he became a little annoyed.

He hugged Concubine De and whispered in her ear, "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I asked my father-in-law for permission to go to the border this time, so don't worry!"

Yixiu supported Concubine De and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. The Fourteenth Prince is skilled in archery and horsemanship, and he's intelligent. He won't be in any danger on the battlefield. He might even achieve some military merit. Then, not only mother, but also me, your sister-in-law, will be honored!"

De Fei wiped her tears with her handkerchief and forced a smile, saying, "You guys only know how to comfort me. It turns out I was worrying for nothing. The children will all go out when they grow up, and I, as their mother, am worried for nothing."

The Fourth Prince looked at this scene and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

He forced a smile and said to Concubine De, "Mother, you don't have to worry too much about the Fourteenth Prince. Although he has gone to the battlefield, I will be filial to you in the capital!"

Now, the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince is still pretty good. The Fourteenth Prince rushed to the Fourth Prince and bumped him hard with his shoulder, almost knocking him down.

The Fourth Prince clutched his chest and said, "Old Fourteen, where do you get so much strength? Be careful on the battlefield and don't act rashly. If anything happens, you must write back and discuss it with me. Got it?"

The Fourteenth Prince nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I will take good care of myself. By the way, you must take good care of Fourth Sister-in-law. Don't let anyone take advantage of you like this time. If Eighth Brother and Tenth Brother continue to bully you, don't worry. I will beat them up when I return from the army!"

Yixiu felt a little funny, but was deeply touched.

The Fourteenth Prince looked at Yixiu deeply again. Now that the Fourteenth Prince was getting older and the two of them were uncle and sister-in-law, they always had to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, the Fourteenth Prince just bowed to Yi Xiuxi.

"Fourth sister-in-law, take care of yourself!"

After saying that, the Fourteenth Prince turned around and waved to a few people, then mounted his warhorse and rode away into the distance.

Concubine De took a few steps forward and opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Her tears had already ruined her makeup.

…………

The following spring, when the weather was warm and flowers were blooming, Yixiu gave birth to a daughter.

Because the Eighth Prince had drugged Yixiu, Yixiu had a difficult birth.

The Fourth Prince was a little scared when he heard Yixiu's difficult roar in the delivery room. Now, to him, Yixiu was not only his wife, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance.

He has already regarded Yixiu as a relative and an ally who walks side by side with him. In the eyes of the Fourth Prince, no one is more suitable to be his wife than Yixiu.

Yixiu finally gave birth to the child, but the child was a little weak.

Doctor Wen said with a bitter face, "If the little princess can make it through three days, then I am confident that she can help. If she can't, please..."

Gan Ziyun was afraid that Yixiu could not bear the news, so she asked someone to hide it from Yixiu and lied to her that the child was healthy.

Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Doctor Wen privately told Gan Ziyun that Yixiu also hurt herself during childbirth, and if she gets even more upset, it's likely to be bad.

However, the Fourth Prince and Gan Ziyun secretly searched for famous doctors in the capital, and even declared that no matter what the cost, as long as the little princess could be saved, Prince Yong's Mansion would give her ten thousand taels of gold.

The Fourth Prince even went to Ganlu Temple to pray in person, and even knelt in front of the Buddha for three days and three nights without closing his eyes, copying Buddhist scriptures for his daughter, just hoping that his daughter would be safe.

Such a big commotion also alarmed Kangxi.

When he learned that his granddaughter was like this because of the Eighth Prince, he was so angry that he asked Liang Jiugong to slap the Eighth Prince for a month and asked him how he came up with such a vicious idea.

Kangxi was very satisfied with the Fourth Prince's fatherly love.

Kangxi named Yixiu's daughter Princess Pingle, which means peace, happiness and longevity.

Perhaps the gods and Buddhas in the sky heard everyone’s prayers, and Princess Pingle survived three days and saved her life.

Yixiu learned about this when she was already out of confinement.
