Yixiu stroked her son's little head with a complicated look. She hoped that Honghui could gain favor in front of Kangxi, but she was reluctant to let her son leave her.

Honghui had been intelligent since childhood, and now that he was old enough to understand things, he smiled and comforted Yixiu, "Mother, don't worry about me. I can take good care of myself! I will serve the Emperor well and be filial to you and me!"

Seeing Honghui being so sensible, Yixiu couldn't help but feel sad, but he didn't want to shed tears in front of Honghui.

Yixiu simply smoothed her son's collar silently and said softly, "Although your Royal Highness is a good person, you must be cautious. You are a smart child, and I won't say much. Take good care of yourself, do your homework well, put on more clothes when you are cold, and eat when you are hungry. If you encounter any problems, you can go to the Virtuous Concubine! You can also send a message back home. No matter what happens, I will stand by you!"

Little Honghui nodded, and before leaving, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yixiu very sensibly.

"My son is gone. Mother, you must take good care of yourself and your sister in the future."

He looked into the room again with his little head and shouted, "And Gan E'niang, you have to take good care of yourself and your brother Hongpan. I know you are in there, and Honghui will come back in the future. If you miss Honghui, you can come to the palace to see me!"

But no sound came from the room. Finally, Honghui sighed and left with his servants.

As soon as Honghui stepped out of the yard, Gan Ziyun could no longer suppress her emotions and rushed out, she was already crying.

"Honghui, I can't bear to leave you, and Gan'er Niang can't bear to leave you either!"

Gan Ziyun spent even more time taking care of Honghui than Yixiu. It was she who risked her life to save this child. She and Honghui are not mother and son, but they are better than mother and son.

Honghui's sudden visit to the palace was a huge blow to Gan Ziyun, and she cried her heart out.

Even Yixiu, her biological mother, didn't care about her own sadness and could only comfort her first, fearing that she would faint from crying.

Gan Ziyun lay in Yixiu's arms, crying bitterly, "Sister, is it that Nian? Is it because she wants to harm our Honghui that you sent Honghui away! I want to kill her! I..."

Seeing that Gan Ziyun's words were getting more and more outrageous, Yixiu could only cover her mouth. Fortunately, she did not tell Gan Ziyun that it was Cao Qinmo who instigated it behind the scenes. Otherwise, according to Gan Ziyun's protective nature, she would probably strangle Cao Qinmo immediately.

Yixiu patted Gan Ziyun's back and comforted him, "You're already such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child? Don't let your imagination run wild. His Majesty has long wanted to bring Honghui to his side to teach him personally. The child is grown up now, and he can't always be under our wings. He has to learn to spread his wings and fly on his own, otherwise, what will he achieve!"

Gan Ziyun sniffed, "I understand the truth, but I really can't bear to part with him. He grew up from such a small little ball to what he is now. Sister, to me, Honghui and Hongpan are both my biological sons."

Yixiu had no choice but to continue comforting Gan Ziyun.

A strange sight has been appearing in the palace these days. The prince has been chasing after Concubine Nian every day, but Concubine Nian has no time to care about this matter at all because she still has to coax Concubine Gan.

After all, whenever Concubine Gan sees the pond, she will say, "Back then, Hong Mou played with me here. Now that the child has gone to the palace, I can't even see him..."

When the servants brought a plate of snacks, she would say, "This snack is what Honghui likes. Although the palace is good, it is not as good as home. I don't know if he can get used to the food and the living conditions there!"

...............

Because the Fourth Prince was busy coaxing Nian Shilan, and Yixiu was busy coaxing Gan Ziyun, they had no time and energy to deal with Cao Qinmo.

When the Fourth Prince came to his senses and finally coaxed Nian Shilan, he wanted to deal with Cao Qinmo, but found that Cao Qinmo was pregnant.

The Fourth Prince had a complicated expression. He asked the doctor over and over again, "Are you sure she's pregnant?"

The imperial physician was also puzzled by the question. Shouldn't one be happy when his woman is pregnant? Why did the Fourth Prince have such an expression?

If you don’t know, you would think that the Fourth Prince has never touched her and was cheated on!

The Fourth Prince is in a very difficult situation now. How could this woman be so lucky? He hasn't even touched her a few times, but she's already pregnant!

Originally, he wanted to sentence her to death quickly to prevent any trouble in the future. This would not only prevent future troubles, but also give an explanation to Yixiu. But now, she is pregnant and cannot be killed.

Cao Qinmo keenly realized that something was wrong. She had originally wanted to deliberately plot against Nian Shilan to please Yixiu, but she didn't expect to backfire and instead let Fu Jin send the child to the palace.

Now Fu Jin was probably hating him to death and wanted to cut him into pieces. Cao Qinmo thought about it again and again, and finally chose to surrender to Nian Shilan.

Although Nian Shilan's position was not as stable as that of a wife, she had children.

But her brain wasn't very good, so she could be manipulated. Plus, the prince doted on her very much, so if she followed her, there would be a way out.

Cao Qinmo knelt on the ground and repeatedly assured Nian Shilan that she had no intention of competing with Nian Shilan for favor, and only wanted to follow Nian Shilan wholeheartedly and give her advice.

"Who in the whole house doesn't know that Concubine Jin is the most favored by the prince? I'm afraid that Concubine Fu Jin and Concubine Gan are now full of resentment towards you. I am not talented enough, but I am willing to serve Concubine Jin. I only ask that Concubine Jin protect us mother and son."

Nian Shilan had already become enemies with Yixiu, and seeing that although Cao Qinmo was pregnant, the Fourth Prince did not visit her, she agreed to Cao Qinmo's request.

The Fourth Prince discussed with Yixiu and decided to take action after Cao Qinmo gave birth to the child.

Yixiu recalled the evil deeds Cao Qinmo had done in her past life and said to the Fourth Prince, "Please, Your Highness, do not be soft-hearted. Such a sinister person must not remain in the palace! Although she is pregnant with your child, but with such a vicious mother, the child might grow up to be a bad child. Even for the sake of the future of the young prince and the little princess, this person must be punished."

The Fourth Prince thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

But after Cao Qinmo's child was born, who would raise him became a problem.

Yixiu is the legitimate wife and has both a son and a daughter, so she definitely cannot raise Cao Qinmo's child personally.

Gan Ziyun also has her own children, and it is probably not appropriate for her to be the housekeeper and take care of the children.

As for Nian Shilan, the Fourth Prince ignored her without even a second thought.

Let’s not talk about Li Jingyan’s brain anymore.

After a long deliberation, the Fourth Prince could only say, "If Cao gives birth to a daughter, I will give her to Qi Yuebin to raise. If she gives birth to a son, I will bring him into the palace to be raised by my mother. Now I am away on business, and Fourteen is fighting on the battlefield. My mother must be lonely. This child will be my filial duty to her!"
