Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Feng Xi returned to Hesheli Mansion and learned from Yan Sanniang that her grandfather was going to enter the palace to exempt her from the selection. She hurried to her grandfather's study.

dong dong dong...

"Come in!" Soetu was in the study, handling government affairs. He put down his pen when he heard someone knocking on the door. Seeing that it was Feng Xi who opened the door, he smiled and said, "Little Feng Xi, how come you have time to play with grandfather today?"

Feng Xi walked over and said with a smile: "Grandpa is busy with all kinds of things every day. How can he have time to play with me? He just teases his granddaughter!"

Suo Etu: "Good! Good! Good! Grandfather, please don't tease my little Fengxi!"

Feng Xi: "I heard that Grandfather is going to enter the palace for the selection of concubines?"

Suo Etu: "Yes, your mother came to me for help. You are the only legitimate daughter left in the Hesheli clan. Your mother doesn't want you to marry into the royal family and die young like your aunt!"

Feng Xi: "Grandfather, have you ever thought about this? The Emperor will not allow me not to marry into the royal family! The Hesheli family's position in the court is too important. He will not let me marry an ordinary prince, as that will cause the division of imperial power. The most likely outcome for me is to enter the palace or the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Suo Etu was stunned. The emperor had indeed been wary of his Hesheli clan in recent years. But this was the only legitimate daughter left in his Hesheli clan. He didn't want her to be sacrificed in the struggle for power.

Feng Xi looked at Suo Etu with a frown on his face and slowly said, "Grandfather, the Hesheli clan is too glorious. I've heard a Han Chinese saying: When the cunning rabbit dies, the good dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bow is put away!" Suo Etu's face turned pale after hearing this, and he dropped the pen in his hand and said, "No way, the emperor would not do this. We are the prince's mother's family..."

Feng Xi: "What if the Emperor never intended for the Crown Prince to take that position from the beginning? What if the Crown Prince was just a target set up by the Emperor? Or what if the Emperor lives too long and the Crown Prince can't wait?"

Suo Etu was furious: "How dare you! Feng Xi, do you know that what you said today will kill all nine of my Hesheli clan!"

Feng Xi stood up and said, "Grandfather, the Hesheli clan has no way out. Behind them is a bottomless abyss. If the prince cannot ascend the throne and I cannot become the crown princess, then welcoming the Hesheli clan will be a catastrophic disaster."

Suo Etu's lips trembled as he asked, "Is there really no other way?"

Feng Xi: "Grandfather knows that the battle between you and Mingzhu for so many years was instigated by the Emperor to keep them in check. You knew the reason for your aunt's death. It's not that you didn't want to seek revenge, but you didn't dare. Because the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die. You hid it from everyone and allowed the Hesheli family's children to be dissolute in order to reassure the Emperor... But it's useless! When things are full, they will overflow, and the Emperor will not tolerate it. Before the next heir ascends the throne, my Hesheli family will be in great trouble..."

Suo Etu slumped in his chair for a long time, unable to speak. He knew his granddaughter's analysis was correct. He and Mingzhu had fought for so many years just to reassure the emperor and let the Hesheli clan go, but it seemed to be useless. It was a pity that none of his Hesheli clan members saw through it, but his granddaughter saw it so clearly.

Soetu: "What should we do now..."

Feng Xi: "Reorganize the Hesheli clan, eliminate the pests, and send the young men to various armies for training. I believe that with my grandfather's help, they won't suffer too much, but before that, the pests must be eliminated. Don't feel bad about it. Also, my grandfather resigned from his post to the emperor when I participated in the selection."

Suo Etu: "Is it necessary to do this?"

Feng Xi: "If I don't do this, I won't be able to enter the Eastern Palace. I will have to go to the palace. I don't want to be the emperor's concubine, because he won't let Hesheli give birth to another prince. This will threaten the prince's position. If I enter the Eastern Palace, I will definitely become the prince's consort. What if the next heir comes from my belly? What if the prince can't have any children except me and anyone else?"

Suo Etu: "Are you planning to poison the prince? This is a crime punishable by genocide..."

Feng Xi laughed and said, "No, I didn't poison the prince! It was the prince who poisoned himself... I made an agreement with the prince to keep the Hesheli clan safe!"

Suo Etu: "Do you and the Crown Prince have any plans?"

Feng Xi: "I just told the prince that Yuqing Palace was a sieve, and about my aunt's death, and that he had been under surveillance by Kangxi..."

Suo Etu: "Grandfather knows about it and will take care of it! From now on, I will ask your grandmother to prepare more dowry for you, and you will be in charge of the Hesheli clan!"

Feng Xi bowed slowly and said, "Thank you, Grandfather!" Then she left with her maid.
