Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 194 The Empress Dowager Summons

[But now everyone has unanimously determined that Chengqing's death was caused by the Queen. Do you think this scheme to escape the blame was successful? Compared to the Queen's failure, I am more inclined to believe that there are other things behind this that we don't know about. ]

“Yes, although many of the queen’s actions seemed stupid in our eyes, she did not have a God’s perspective. She did not know that Kangxi would easily get rid of Oboi, that he would be on the throne for 61 years, and that he would have so many sons in the future.

Although those actions were radical, as long as Kangxi was short-lived and he only had two or three heirs, Chenghu was undoubtedly the most promising one. The temptation of the throne was worth the risk for the queen, but she lost the bet.

In everyone's eyes, Cheng Rui was out, so Cheng Hu was the legitimate son and the elder brother. To deal with a younger brother born to a concubine, there was no need to kill him directly. With Concubine Hui's attitude of being a patriarch, Cheng Qing's future..."

Yuan Xu felt that the child was already dead, and it was not good to say bad things about him now, so she did not finish her words. But Ji Nai understood what she meant, and this was also what she thought.

Compared with Chenghu, Chengqing was at a huge disadvantage. It can be said that if Kangxi had not lived so long and had not had so many children, Chenghu would almost have been the heir.

Even if there are concerns about unexpected events, it would not be too easy for the queen, who has the support of the Hesheli family, to deal with Concubine Hui and her son. There is a lot of room for maneuver.

So, why did the Queen make such a bad move?

Not long ago, the queen's reputation for jealousy and cruelty had just spread, the turmoil over the dethronement of the queen had just subsided, and Sony had just passed away due to illness. The queen and the Hesheli family were in an unstable period.

Why doesn't the Queen wait a moment?

"Could it be that someone really framed me?"

[However, the style of the plot to murder Chengqing does seem like something the Queen would do.]

Among the people Ji Nai knew, the only ones who could be so roundabout, making it difficult to track down the real culprit even after the fact, were the Queen and that old acquaintance from his previous life.

But it can't be her. She hasn't entered the palace yet. How could she stretch her hand so long?

[Or maybe someone was fanning the flames and facilitating the Queen's murder? ]

"Could it be Kangxi?" Yuan Xu guessed. If it was really this man, it would be too scary.

Ji Nai rolled his eyes, [If it was really Kangxi, then the Queen must have killed Concubine Hui. After all, killing the Emperor's favorite concubine is also evidence of the Queen's jealousy.]

"That's right. No matter what Kangxi does, he will never kill his own son." Yuan Xu smiled embarrassedly.

[Are you demonizing Kangxi? I admit that this man is indeed a little cold, a little ruthless, a little suspicious, and a bit of a scumbag, but after taking off his identity as an emperor, he is also a flesh-and-blood person.

Even though Kangxi was mean and ungrateful in his later years, as long as his fragile and sensitive nerves were not provoked, he still cherished the old people who had accompanied him in the past. 】

Yuan Xu curled his lips. How could an emperor be compared with ordinary people? Only a love-brained person like Ji Nai could say such a thing.

If Ji Nai knew Yuan Xu's slander, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged. She had accompanied Kangxi for decades in her previous life, and she really didn't think the emperor was so scary that it made people tremble with fear. Of course, she was specifically referring to the emperor she served.

Here, Ji Nai had just resolved his grudge with Yuan Xu, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Malagu came to invite him. It was basically no good news for the Empress Dowager to summon him.

Besides, who was he now, so why did he bother Su Malagu to come and invite him in person? Ji Nai did not feel honored by this, but only felt terrified, thinking that this matter was probably not a small matter.

"Aunt, please wait a moment. I will go change my clothes first." Unless it is an urgent matter, it is okay to wait a moment. Ji Nai wanted to change his clothes first to show respect to the Empress Dowager, and Su Malagu naturally smiled and said that there was no hurry.

While changing clothes, Ji Nai told Yu Qing, "Just wait and see. If I don't come back from the Cining Palace for a long time, then go look for His Majesty."

Nanny Li and the others asked nervously, "Master, what happened?"

Ji Nai looked at the worry and confusion in their eyes and laughed at himself for being confused.

At least so far, the Empress Dowager has not shown any malice towards me. On the contrary, she often uses Qiqige's relationship to show concern for me like an ordinary elder.

It can be said that in the eyes of everyone, the Empress Dowager was really good to her. Even the Queen, who made frequent mistakes now, had never received such treatment.

Therefore, when he faced the Empress Dowager, his expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy was too abnormal.

Only Ji Nai knew what a cruel man he was, that he could watch his grandson being killed just to teach his concubine a lesson.

It was just that the lesson was too painful, leaving Ji Nai with a deep memory and a deep shadow from then on. That was why he would unconsciously be on full alert when facing the Empress Dowager.

Fortunately, Nanny Li and Yu Sheng and Yu Qing are all my family members. They will only worry about me and wonder what happened that they don’t know about, but will not doubt my attitude towards the Empress Dowager.

"I was confused just now. I was just worried that I would be summoned by the Grand Empress Dowager at this time. What if I encountered something on the way? I am due to give birth in a month or two, so I was overly nervous."

Nanny Li understood that her master was frightened by Prince Chengqing's incident, so she was so worried even when she was leaving the house. She consoled him, "Don't worry, Master. He is under house arrest now and can no longer cause trouble."

"Mammy is right. Right now, both me and Nara are pregnant in the palace. Your Majesty will definitely send someone to monitor the movements of Kunning Palace."

In fact, Li Ma also knew that those calculations behind the scenes could not be kept under wraps. But the master was pregnant, and it was not good for her to be worried all the time. It was not good for the young master, so she could only comfort her first.

Besides, even if something really happened on the road, distant water cannot quench nearby fire. What's the point of going to find the Emperor? It would be more effective for her to use her own connections to clear the road first.

As soon as Ji Nai entered the Cining Palace, he felt that the Grand Empress Dowager was very different today. In the past, the Grand Empress Dowager would have told him not to be polite and would have directly given him a seat before he even had time to perform the greetings.

But today, the Empress Dowager looked at him with a cold gaze, and only after he had completed the formalities did she slowly let him stand up.

Then, it was Su Malagu who reminded, "Grand Empress Dowager, Master Ma Jia's belly is so big, she will get tired if she stands for a long time."
