Chapter 196: Transaction with Xiaozhuang
This means that even if this is not the case, as long as Ji Nai can still give birth, he will definitely give Shoukang Palace a prince.
The Empress Dowager was relieved and said with a smile: "Since she is blessed, Chengrui's brother will definitely not be harmed by others like Chengrui. He will definitely turn danger into safety."
Ji Nai's nose was sore. She finally got the guarantee from the Empress Dowager. The safety of her and her son was finally guaranteed. However, the price was to send Saiyin Chahun away.
She was the one who let the child down.
After leaving the Cining Palace, Ji Nai and Yuan Xu were both a little depressed because of the upcoming separation of their babies. But soon, Yuan Xu realized that a pregnant woman cannot be depressed all the time.
So, she mentioned the Queen Mother's actions today to divert attention from milking. But as she spoke, she really started to get angry.
"What? Is this possible? Just for a show, he tortures me like this. You're still pregnant, and he covets your child while ignoring your body."
When this matter was mentioned, Ji Nai became serious, "Do you really believe what they said, that it was just a show? This is more like a test."
"Testing?"
[Do you remember what I told you before? I feel like there is another hand behind Chengqing's death, pushing all this in secret. Maybe the Empress Dowager has also noticed it, and I am the most suspicious.]
"Ah? No, how can I suspect you?"
[In this palace, apart from the Queen, I am the only one who is the head of a palace, and the rest are concubines. In this palace, I, the Queen, and Concubine Hui are the only three who have sons.
If Chengqing died, Concubine Hui would be devastated and might even lose the baby in her belly. As for Chenghu, the Queen would lose power and he would definitely be implicated by her.
Even though he is the legitimate son and has a superior status, the Queen is both his success and his failure. Having a mother like that will make his life very difficult.
Even if Kangxi and the court officials were willing to let him, whose mother had plotted to murder the heir to the throne, take that position, they would have to see whether the other victims of the empress in the palace were happy about it. 】
"Eh? It seems that you are the biggest suspect."
If Yuan Xu had not been with Ji Nai all the time and knew everything about her, he would probably have thought that this was a big show planned by Ji Nai. The main thing is that from this point of view, Ji Nai is really the biggest beneficiary.
There’s a saying that goes, in the palace, don’t look at who is the most suspicious, but who benefits the most.
"What should we do? The Empress Dowager is suspicious of you. Will Emperor Kangxi misunderstand you as well?"
[Since Su Malagu openly stated the test, and the Empress Dowager admitted that it was all a show, it means that her suspicion of me has been dispelled.
Maybe the Empress Dowager hadn't found anything and was just testing her today. Fortunately, I was really confused at the time and didn't understand why the Empress Dowager said that. My subconscious reaction best reflects the real situation.
That's why the Empress Dowager changed her words and sang the same tune with Su Malagu to smooth over the matter. As long as the Empress Dowager no longer doubts me, there's no need to worry about Kangxi. 】
Ji Nai's expression was very cold. It seemed that his feeling at that time was not wrong. It was really that old acquaintance who took action. Unexpectedly, she started to lay out in the palace so early.
So, was she the same in her previous life? Was she also responsible for the death of Saiyin Chahun and the others? After all, if that person could use the queen to kill Chengqing, how could he let his own child go?
Of the earlier children in the palace in the previous life, only Yinzhen and Yinreng were left alive. Chengrui, Chengqing, Chenghu, Saiyinchahun, Changhua, and Changsheng were all gone.
Yinzhen and Yinreng were born late, probably because Yinzhen was sent out of the palace after he was born. Since Yinreng was made the crown prince early, all financial affairs were personally handled by Kangxi.
Even if he was ordered to look after Yinreng at that time, he was just watching from the side. It was Kangxi who really raised Yinreng.
There is no need to say much about Kangxi. If someone succeeds easily, he will not be emperor anymore. As for the ministers who are responsible for raising the prince, they will naturally do their best to protect the prince.
After that, several children were born in the palace, but in the end only his own Yinzhi and Yinzhen survived.
In fact, Ji Nai disliked Wu Ya very much. At that time, everyone said that Concubine De was like them, not in appearance, but in temperament. No one likes others to be similar to themselves, especially when the other person is more fortunate than themselves.
At that time, some people even went to Ji Nai to mock her, saying that Ji Nai was old and ugly, and that she was unlucky and had killed so many of her children. Even the Emperor was afraid of her, so he fell in love with Uya, who was similar to Ji Nai.
However, Wuya was much younger and more beautiful than Jinai, and even more blessed in terms of offspring. Wuya also gave birth to three sons and three daughters for the emperor, but only one prince and two princesses died young.
Although this number is also very shocking, just looking at the fact that Uya still had two princes and a princess, many concubines were envious and jealous.
After all, you can work hard to win favor, but having children depends on fate. The fact that Wu Ya is so fertile is a blessing. As for Ji Nai, who is in the control group, he naturally doesn't like Wu Ya.
In addition, Ji Nai at that time was devoted to protecting her only remaining son Yinzhi, and lived cautiously. She had long since withdrawn from the ranks of vying for favor and was also the most low-key among the four concubines.
Perhaps it was because of this that Ji Nai could see many things clearly, such as Uya, the woman was not at all as gentle and amiable as she appeared to be.
She didn't like Kangxi, nor did she like her own children. All she liked was power.
That's why she could decisively make a deal between Yinzhen and Concubine Tong Jia. That's why she could use Yinzhen time and time again, provoking Concubine Tong Jia while pretending to be pitiful in front of Kangxi, completely disregarding Yinzhen's reputation and mood. That's why she could ignore Yinzhen who was sent back after Tong Jia's death and dote on her youngest son.
Sometimes, Ji Nai also wondered, does Kangxi really like me like this?
That's why he doted on himself so much, and later on Concubine De so much, but she was obviously nothing like him. At that time, Ji Nai just thought that Kangxi was blind to fall in love with such a cold and heartless woman.
Ji Nai just wanted to see Kangxi's joke and see how he would react after knowing the true face of Uya. Look, as an emperor, he didn't have any sense of judging people. He had Hesheli before him and Uya after him. What kind of vision was that?
