Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 189 Concubine Hui's Self-Reflection

But Concubine Hui at this time was obviously a little crazy. She had no time to consider these things. She was immersed in the pain of losing her son and only wanted justice for her child.

"I won't shut up! Is Your Majesty trying to protect the Queen?"

"How insolent!" Kangxi was really fed up with Nara's unreasonableness, and the guilt and pity in his heart disappeared a little. But when he saw Chengqing's small figure on the couch, his nose was sore, and he finally softened his heart.

"You have to tell me what happened first. Don't worry, I will find the real culprit and avenge Cheng Qing."

After receiving Kangxi's assurance, Concubine Hui was calmed down and no longer so crazy. "Chengqing was poisoned. Wasn't Chengrui also poisoned? They were all harmed by the Queen."

"Based on this alone, we cannot conclude that it was the Queen who did it."

"But, Your Majesty, I asked you to find the imperial physician, but there was no imperial physician, not even one. The Imperial Hospital was empty, and everyone was with the Queen.

Your Majesty, do you remember? Chengrui survived because of his good physical condition and the timely treatment by the imperial physician. The Queen did it on purpose, deliberately preventing Chengqing from receiving timely treatment!"

"Is that so?" Kangxi looked at the imperial physician.

It was a pity that the imperial physician was unlucky enough to be involved in such a secret affair. He didn't want to get involved, but since the Emperor asked him personally, he dared not not answer.

"Yes, when I got the news and rushed to the Yanxi Palace, Prince Chengqing had already stopped breathing." After hesitating for a moment, the imperial physician spoke again: "The poison that Prince Chengqing was infected with is very similar to the poison that Prince Chengrui was infected with."

It's not that the imperial physician wants to discredit the queen. It's just that the two are too similar. Any imperial physician can diagnose them. If he hides it, wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor?

"Your Majesty, did you hear that? Even the imperial physician said so. It must have been the Queen who did it. You have to do something for poor Chengqing!"

Even though Kangxi was somewhat reluctant, he had to persuade her: "Even though it seems that the Queen is the most suspicious now, but... Zhizhu, you should understand that it is far from enough to convict the Queen of a country."

"Not enough? How can it be not enough? Your Majesty, the Emperor! Apart from the Empress, who else in this palace can escape the heavy protection and murder the heir to the throne?"

Concubine Hui was right. Among Kangxi's concubines, even some of them were noble ladies from the Eight Banners, and their family backgrounds were not necessarily good.

If she really was the type of person who had both capable father and brother, it would be impossible for her to stay in the position of concubine for so long with a group of bondservant women. She would have been promoted as an exception long ago, just like Ji Nai.

Although on the surface the harem hierarchy is in chaos and due to the busy government affairs of the previous dynasty, His Majesty is unable to spare the time to deal with this matter, so he can only put it on hold for the time being and inconvenience the concubines to stay in the position of concubines first, and then be canonized.

But as long as Kangxi wanted, he could always find a reason.

Just like Ji Nai was promoted to concubine because of her son, and Borjigit was given the title of concubine as soon as she entered the palace for the sake of the Empress Dowager. When she was actually canonized, she was a concubine.

If these concubines who were born as noble ladies of the Eight Banners were truly outstanding, they would not have been buried for so long.

Moreover, even if they have a good family background, they are just concubines, without favor or children. Why should they ask those powerful servants in the palace to help them with things?

"I already know what's going on. You don't need to say anything more." Seeing that Nara was still pestering him, Kangxi said coldly, "If you keep making trouble like this, do you want to give up the baby in your belly?"

Then he slowed down his voice and said comfortingly, "Just rest and take care of your pregnancy. I will take care of Chengqing's matter."

Concubine Hui just stood there in a daze, watching Kangxi leave.

"master."

"Mammy, tell me, can the Queen pay for my Chengqing's life?"

Nanny Wu was startled and quickly advised: "Oh, my master, you shouldn't say such things."

"You can't, right? I know. Even if the queen is wrong, even if the queen deserves death, that's what we think. In His Majesty's heart, Chengrui, Chengqing, and so many fetuses killed by the queen are not as valuable as a queen who is as precious as gold and jade."

Nanny Wu felt that Concubine Hui was really crazy and had been spoiled by His Majesty. Even if she was at war with the Queen, she couldn't say it out loud, because she was the Queen after all.

Concubine Hui seemed to have heard what Nanny Wu was thinking. She smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you are thinking. The Queen is the most noble person in the harem. So no matter how much hatred or resentment you have in your heart, you cannot speak out."

She could even deal with the queen in private, poisoning her, framing her, using any number of methods, but she couldn't say it out loud. At least on the surface, she still had to fulfill her duties as a concubine to the queen.

But why? Why couldn't she even speak out her resentment when the queen killed her own child? Was it because she was the queen? Was it because the hierarchy was strict and committing crimes against superiors was not allowed?

Concubine Hui suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted that she shouldn't have relied on her shallow historical knowledge and her identity as a time traveler to enter the palace and replace Concubine De to become the final winner.

In fact, apart from being favored by the emperor, she has actually been losing things. The child who left on New Year's Eve and her own Chengqing, Concubine Hui's heart is bleeding.

However, it seemed that even the love she thought Kangxi had was not reliable. At least, the scene she hoped that Kangxi would share the same hatred with her to deal with the queen and avenge their children did not happen.

This man has always been calm and rational. He has not lost his usual wisdom because of himself or Chengqing. Does such a Kangxi really love himself?

It was not until this moment that Concubine Hui began to regain her sanity and wavered in her relationship with Kangxi. As a result, she no longer floated in the sky because of the emperor's love, but returned to ground.

She seemed to be blinded by the false glitz and glamour in her complacency day after day, and destroyed the good situation she had established in the past.

At the beginning, although she looked down on Ma Jia, she was unwilling to make enemies with her. After all, Ma Jia was abandoned by Kangxi because too many of her children died. But at the same time, if all her children could survive, she would be a very threatening existence.

At the beginning, she wanted to unite a group of concubines to fight against the queen. If everyone worked together, they would be a considerable force. In this way, no one of them would be too conspicuous and be hated by the queen.
