Chapter 237 Unable to Control Saliva
Chapter 237 Unable to Control Saliva
"What happened, Ama?"
Ji Nai hesitated for a while, but finally decided to tell the truth, "Prince Chenghu is gone."
Nanny Li was a little worried. Their prince was still so young, and it might not be a good idea to tell him the truth. But then she changed her mind and decided to tell him now, at least as a reminder, so that he would not be harmed by others without knowing it.
"Brother Chenghu is gone?" Chengrui was stunned. Although he was still young, he already understood what it meant to be gone. "So, it was because of Brother Chenghu that Ama was unhappy."
Although Chengrui and Chenghu didn't meet each other often and their relationship wasn't necessarily very good, it was still sad to hear the news.
Ji Nai was about to comfort his eldest son, but Cheng Rui tugged at his clothes, "Did mother get injured in Kunning Palace? Because of brother Cheng Hu?"
Ji Nai could no longer remember what Cheng Rui looked like in his previous life. At that time, Cheng Rui had always been pale-faced, lying obediently on the bed drinking medicine. Was he always so smart? With just a few short sentences, he roughly guessed what had happened.
Ji Nai felt that from this moment on, she should no longer treat Cheng Rui as a child who knew nothing. To avoid any misunderstanding, Ji Nai patiently explained:
"After Chenghu passed away, the Queen was so grief-stricken that she acted a little too aggressively and bumped into Concubine Hui who was pregnant. My mother was worried that something might happen to the heir to the throne, so she stepped forward to stop him and got hurt."
Ji Nai paused and continued, "Chenghu's death may not be an accident, but the Empress Dowager also said that she would personally investigate the matter."
Ji Nai, who had been paying attention to Cheng Rui, keenly noticed that the child sighed quietly, and couldn't help but find it funny. She knew that the child had misunderstood and thought that he was related to Cheng Hu's death, so he was hurt.
Therefore, she would tell the whole story of how she was injured. She would not hide anything for the Queen, nor would she be afraid of being accused of taking revenge and keep silent about the fact that she was injured in order to protect Concubine Hui.
When Chengrui came to his senses, he began to feel guilty for thinking so badly of his mother. However, it was okay as long as it wasn't his mother's fault. He was originally worried that if it was his mother who made the mistake first, how would he talk to his father and seek justice for her?
But now, he no longer has this concern. Chengrui, who inherited Kangxi's narrow-mindedness, kept this matter firmly in mind, waiting to help his mother take revenge in the future.
"Mother, does it hurt?" Chengrui wanted to touch Ji Nai's wound, but was afraid of hurting her, so he was very careful.
Ji Nai kissed Cheng Rui and then said coquettishly: "It hurts so much, Cheng Rui, blow on it for me. With Cheng Rui's blowing, I won't feel any pain anymore."
"Okay." The little guy was full of perseverance. He stayed by Ji Nai's side the whole day, puffing up his cheeks, trying to blow away all the pain for Ji Nai.
In the evening, when Kangxi came, he saw Ji Nai lying leisurely on the couch, and Chengrui kept blowing air at Ji Nai. It was obvious that he had been blowing for a long time and his face was full of fatigue.
"What is this doing?"
"Ama!" Chengrui heard the voice, looked up and saw Kangxi. His eyes lit up instantly and he was extremely happy.
Ji Nai felt a little guilty. She had not expected Kangxi to come today and see her exploiting his son. "Isn't it because Chengrui loves me, so..."
Chengrui nodded seriously, "No, mother's body hurts and she needs Chengrui to blow on it to make it better." While Chengrui was speaking, he couldn't control his saliva and smiled shyly at Kangxi.
The veins on Kangxi's forehead twitched and he looked at Ji Nai, wanting him to give him an explanation.
"Well, when Chengrui saw the injuries on my body, he angrily wanted to avenge me. Of course, I had to stop him and find something for him to do.
Besides, I also told Chengrui to rest for a while, but he refused. " Plus, the warm wind blowing on her body was really comfortable, so she didn't stop him any further.
But when she saw Chengrui talking, she realized that Chengrui was probably very tired. She asked why she felt there was water leaking in the house, and it turned out to be Chengrui's saliva.
"Chengrui is not tired, Chengrui can continue."
"That's enough. If you continue, mother will feel more pain." As he said that, Ji Nai hugged Cheng Rui into his arms.
"Why?" Chengrui hugged Ji Nai in panic.
"Mother feels sorry for Chengrui."
Seeing Ji Nai actually using cheesy love words to deal with a child, Yuan Xu despised him and said he couldn't bear to watch it, so he just floated away, leaving space for the family of three.
However, although it was just a cheesy love talk, it was still very useful to a simple child who had not been abused. Chengrui was so embarrassed that he buried himself in Ji Nai's arms.
While rubbing Chengrui's cheek, Ji Nai expressed his confusion to Kangxi with his eyes, "Why is His Majesty here?" At this time, shouldn't he be immersed in the pain of losing Chenghu?
"You are seriously injured. I am worried, so I came to see you and will leave later."
Chenghu had just died, so he was not so cold-blooded and was in the mood to stay the night. But during the day, Ji Nai looked so miserable that Kangxi was really worried and came to visit.
If Yuan Xu hadn't gone out, Ji Nai would have said to her, "Look, look, Kangxi doesn't really not care about me getting beaten. He's here to show me his warmth."
"I am fine, but I look horrible. I am afraid that tomorrow, it will be even worse. At this moment, I do not want to be seen by His Majesty."
These words were Ji Nai's way of expressing his attitude to Kangxi: "Don't worry and adjust your mood. I really don't need it. I must have your company at this time."
"If Your Majesty feels sorry for me, why not give me some holy medicine to heal my wounds? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be really disfigured." After all, the imperial physician said during the day that there might be a scar left. Even though Ji Nai knew what the imperial physician said, he always left room for maneuver.
"it is good."
Kangxi carefully examined Ji Nai's injuries before leaving. Not long after, various medicines for healing and scar removal were sent to Zhongcui Palace. The action was so quick, it was obvious that they had been prepared long ago.
Ji Nai looked at the medicine bottles one by one and found that they were all suitable. It seemed that Kangxi had carefully selected them after seeing his own injuries.
"Aren't you afraid that these medicines will erase Kangxi's guilt? In my opinion, it's best to make Kangxi remember it forever."
[Guilt accumulated for a long time is not necessarily a good thing, it will crush a person.] The relationship between her and Kangxi does not need guilt to add fuel to the fire.
No one slept well that night.
Kangxi was in deep sorrow as he remembered the deceased Chenghu, Chengqing, and the children who died in the harem struggles; Ji Nai was in great pain, but he had to take care of Chengrui who refused to leave and stayed by his side. The Empress Dowager stayed up all night, trying to find out the force that had been stirring up trouble in the palace as soon as possible.
Concubine Hui already knew that Cui Xin was a traitor, and was afraid that she would attack her belly, so she did not dare to let her guard down. But she could not act rashly, as the Empress Dowager said not to alert the enemy.
Sometimes, Concubine Hui doubted whether the Empress Dowager really cared about the royal heir as much as she appeared to. Otherwise, why would she keep such a dangerous person by her side? Wasn't she worried about something happening to her stomach?
Concubine Hui saw Cui Xin coming over and naturally understood that she wanted to find out what happened in Kunning Palace today, but at the moment, Concubine Hui did not have the energy to deal with her. Therefore, she spoke first:
"You guys please go away first and leave me alone. By the way, bring me a mirror." At some point, the mirror on her dressing table was moved away.
But it was no wonder. Some time ago, she had been immersed in hatred, and wanted to take revenge, not caring about anything else. Later, she felt the threat from Concubine Li, and stopped at the persuasion of Nanny Wu, and then she focused on protecting the fetus.
It seemed like she hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time. It was obvious that she had always been a person who loved beauty. When she paid her respects to the emperor in the past, every time she saw Rongpin's face, she would feel depressed for a while after coming back.
However, ever since Chengqing passed away, she no longer had the heart to dress herself up and became unlike herself.
"Madame Wu ordered me to move the mirror out."
"Then let Madam Wu move it back by herself, and everyone else please leave first."
