Chapter 248 Listen to the corner
The story of the master killing Prince Chenghu was spread all over the palace. What if it was true? The Emperor disliked the master because of this, and even disliked the child born by the master.
This was not Wang Sheng's groundless guess. After all, when the master was giving birth, not only did the Emperor not come, but even the servants in the Qianqing Palace were nowhere to be seen.
Nanny Wu naturally knew what Wang Sheng was thinking, and this was probably what most people in the palace thought. The master still needed to rest and recuperate after the baby was born. If people in the palace continued to hold this idea, I'm afraid that the Yanxi Palace would not be peaceful in the future.
After thinking about it, Nanny Wu explained to Wang Sheng:
"It's a good thing that Your Majesty is doing this. After all, the one in Kunning Palace is said to be crazy, but who knows what's going on. If she keeps pretending to be crazy, can the imperial physician still insist that the queen is not crazy.
With the deaths of Prince Chengqing and Prince Chenghu standing in the way, the master and the queen are mortal enemies. With her means, if she really wants to do something to the little prince, can we prevent it?
But it is different outside the palace. Hesheli has lost her natural advantage. Even if she can reach out even further, for the sake of the lives of the nine clans, the officials who raised the prince have to protect him desperately. "
Wang Sheng suddenly realized, "In that case, it is a good thing for the prince to be raised outside the palace."
"Of course. When the prince is six years old and ready for enlightenment, His Majesty will definitely take him back. Our His Majesty is wise and powerful. Is there anything he hasn't considered?"
Of course, His Majesty would not have the nerve to keep the prince in the home of a minister. So don't worry, the prince will not come back after being sent out of the palace.
Facing the meaningful look of Nanny Wu, Wang Sheng understood what she had not said. Now, he was really relieved. As long as the prince was still alive, their master would not fall.
"With Madam's words, I feel relieved. The people under the throne have been in a state of panic recently, and now that they have received His Majesty's order, I am afraid they will have wild thoughts. I will go and reassure them now."
"Don't just focus on the bottom and forget about the outside world. There are many people who are eager to take action against us. The master still needs to take care of his health, so he needs some peace and quiet."
"I understand Madam's concerns, and I will do it right away."
Spreading the news through Wang Sheng that His Majesty has never despised his master can only stop the temporary ill will. The key still lies in His Majesty's attitude.
When Nanny Wu entered the room, she thought she would see her master crying with her face covered, but she was surprised to meet her master's calm eyes.
"Just now, I heard what Madam said to Wang Sheng outside. You are right. It is safest to keep the child outside the palace at this time."
Huipin, like Ji Nai, was one of the people in the palace who firmly believed that the queen could not be crazy. The queen was dangerous before, and now she would be even more lethal.
Now there are only three princes left in the palace, Chengrui, Saiyinchahun and his own children. Chengrui is physically disabled, and Saiyinchahun is protected by the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so his children are not exposed to danger.
Moreover, Chenghu had just died, and the queen was not willing to let herself and her child go at this time.
His Majesty gave me a month and leaked the news in advance. I'm afraid it was not only to test me, but also because he didn't believe that the Queen was really crazy.
However, Huipin still had a hidden worry in her heart. Although Yinzhen returned to the palace safely in history, only a few of Kangxi's sons were left at that time, and the other party was really short of sons. This nominal eldest prince would be a rare one.
But now, many things are different. Will destiny still continue along its original trajectory?
Especially Concubine Rong. Concubine Hui remembered that in history, Concubine Rong had always lived a lonely life and was the least noticeable among the four concubines. But what if Concubine Rong’s children survived like Chengrui?
Five sons and one daughter are indeed enviable, but if they really lived to adulthood, and lived to the later years of Kangxi's cold and suspicious years, with five adult princes standing together naturally, would Kangxi still take Rongpin seriously?
Huipin suddenly felt a little excited, but she didn't know whether Rongpin would be hurt all over by her lover like herself, or whether they would dislike each other and become strangers.
Huipin never thought that Kangxi would regret it. That man is heartless.
Seeing that Concubine Hui was not really willing to send the prince out of the palace, and was just comforting herself after having no choice but to compromise, Nanny Wu wanted to comfort her, but she felt that no matter what she said now, it would be easy talk and her master probably didn't need it.
Nanny Wu thought for a while and finally asked, "Master, are you worried that the prince will not come back?" It is better to solve the practical problem than to say some light and warm words.
"Ah."
Although Nanny Wu's tone was confident when she explained to Wang Sheng just now, in fact, she herself did not have much confidence. Leaving the palace meant that it would be difficult to see him again. His Majesty had no impression of the prince, so naturally he would not have much affection for him.
Nanny Wu hesitated for a while and suggested, "If His Majesty is satisfied with you, even if He forgets, we have the confidence to remind him. Moreover, because you are favored, the prince will be taken care of more carefully."
"You're right. The child can only rely on me now." Huipin forced herself to cheer up.
In the past, she was floating in the air, and everything seemed within reach, but in fact it was just a mirage. The glory, favor, and honor were all false. From now on, she only lived for her Chengqing and Yinzhen.
"Master, please take a rest first. Once you have rested enough, we still have a lot of things to prepare in advance."
"What else do you need to prepare?" Huipin's eyelids were almost unable to open, and she asked subconsciously.
"As the servants around the prince, even if His Majesty has his own plans, he can't really not let us go. There must be someone who always mentions you to the prince, so that he won't forget his biological mother. And..."
Amidst Nanny Wu's muttering, Concubine Hui fell into a deep sleep.
When Ji Nai learned that Nara was promoted to concubine but the little prince had to be raised outside the palace, he felt it was unexpected but also seemed reasonable.
Nanny Li asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is doing this because he really hates Hui Shu and Hui Concubine?"
“Although I don’t know what happened between His Majesty and Nara, one thing is for sure: His Majesty will never use a child as a weapon.
He sent the little prince out of the palace, and there could only be one reason, His Majesty sincerely thought it would be better for the prince to be raised outside the palace."
"Doesn't His Majesty believe that the Queen is really crazy?"
"Whether you believe it or not, the Queen is not the only one belonging to the Hesheli clan in this palace. Unless all these culprits are found, the young prince will not be safe."
Chenghu, the value of a legitimate prince is much greater than that of the queen. Nara killed the wealth of Hesheli, so she must bear their revenge.
These big families have always been arrogant and conceited. How could they tolerate a little bondservant girl attacking a noble prince who has their own bloodline?
Even if the source was that the Queen killed Chengqing first, they would not think that they were wrong, nor would they feel the slightest bit of guilt for Chengqing's death. They would only feel provoked and offended.
But Ji Nai didn't say the rest of the words, as she had already received Yuan Xu's reminder. Ji Nai was really helpless. When did Kangxi develop this habit of eavesdropping?
"However, no matter how they make trouble, it has nothing to do with me. I am only worried that the harem is so chaotic. Will Chengrui and Saiyinchahun be hurt?"
"Well, Prince Saiyinchahun is in Shoukang Palace, so those people shouldn't be so bold. As for Prince Chengrui, I don't think anyone in Yanxi Palace would attract their attention more."
"I'm still a little worried, afraid that Chengrui might be affected. How about sending Chengrui to Shoukang Palace to stay there for a few days?"
"Don't you trust me?" Kangxi strode in.
Ji Nai showed surprise on his face at the right time, "Your Majesty, when did you come? Why didn't anyone inform you?"
"I told them not to make any noise, and you haven't answered me yet. Don't you believe that I will protect you and Chengrui?" Kangxi looked at Ji Nai with burning eyes. She had reluctantly sent the child away because she was worried about Saiyin Chahun.
