Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 258 The dust has settled

In fact, he had felt that there was something wrong with Prince Chenghu's pulse before, but out of confidence in his own medical skills, Doctor Hu did not take it seriously. He just thought that the prince's body was too weak, which affected the absorption of the medicine.

After this, although Doctor Hu tried to change the prescription, Prince Chenghu could not bear the heavy medicine. He also reported this to the Queen, but the Queen misled him and made Doctor Hu think that this situation was caused by human factors.

Although Doctor Hu's brain was not very bright sometimes, it did not mean that he was really stupid, otherwise he would not have become a pediatric expert. Even though the queen said it in a vague way, he still understood it immediately, and the matter had nothing to do with the medicine he prescribed.

Therefore, Doctor Hu put the matter aside and continued to prescribe medicine as usual. After all, he subconsciously believed that since the Queen knew something was fishy, she would handle it. He didn't want to get involved in these things, so he simply pretended to know nothing.

Even though Prince Chenghu died young, Doctor Hu did not think it was his fault. He must have thought that the person who plotted against Prince Chenghu was so vicious that even the Queen was helpless.

However, Kangxi's words clearly shattered Doctor Hu's belief. It was the Queen who harmed Prince Chenghu, and Doctor Hu's indifference and self-righteousness made him an accomplice of the Queen.

Kangxi finally felt relieved when he saw the man who looked embarrassed but not decadent, as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away in an instant and he became old and listless.

As an emperor, he hadn't felt so aggrieved for a long time. Don't think he couldn't understand the look in Doctor Hu's eyes. Did he think he was a tyrant who favored his concubines over his wife? If someone made him unhappy, he would make them unhappy too.

"I, a guilty minister, deserve death!" Imperial Doctor Hu bent his back and knelt on the ground to plead guilty to Emperor Kangxi. At the same time, he was also confessing for the death of Prince Chenghu that he had inadvertently caused.

Kangxi didn't want to see him again, so he waved his hand and asked Liang Jiugong to take the man away.

After this episode, although the cruelty and murderous intent that arose when he first heard the truth did not disappear, it was enough to make Kangxi regain his sanity.

If Chengrui's poisoning caused Kangxi to no longer regard the empress as his wife, then Chenghu's tragedy directly made Kangxi no longer regard Hesheli as a human being.

"Liang Jiugong!"

After escorting Doctor Hu out, Liang Jiugong, who had just returned, heard the voice of the Emperor and did not dare to be negligent. He immediately stood up and obeyed.

"Issue: The Empress is immoral, unable to be filial to the two palaces, Cining and Shoukang, and unable to raise the royal heirs. During her time managing the harem, the six palaces were out of order, the royal heirs always died young, and the Empress Dowager treated me like a slave. I am truly ashamed!

Now, the Empress knows that she has done something wrong, and has vowed to confine herself to the palace to reflect on herself and pray for the heir. I am mindful of her sincerity and have approved it. The harem cannot be without a master, and I respectfully follow the Empress Dowager's kind instructions to order the two concubines Rong and Hui, and the concubines Irgen Jueluo and Dong to assist in managing the harem."

"Hmm!" Liang Jiugong concealed the shock in his heart, turned around and went out to convey the order.

In Kunning Palace

Because the Queen was unable to receive the decree, Nanny Zheng, who received it on her behalf, had a look of despair on her face. She had thought that for the sake of Prince Chenghu, the Emperor would at least cover up for her master.

No matter the outcome is deposing the queen or banishing her from the palace, the excuse of being sick is always better, right? If there is a chance in the future, she can also make a comeback by "recovering from illness", even if the hope is slim.

But now, His Majesty has even lifted the last layer of fig leaf, leaving no chance at all.

Inside the palace, the Queen couldn't hold back her tears any longer as she listened to Liang Jiugong's announcement. Did His Majesty hate her so much? Even with Chenghu's last words before his death, he was still so merciless.

However, it was better than directly deposing her. At least, her title as queen was preserved. The queen smiled bitterly. She had cut off her flesh with such a ruthless heart, but this was all she got in return.

Zhongcui Palace

After the imperial edict was announced to the six palaces, everyone in Zhongcui Palace felt a secret excitement and joy. Even though they knew that the queen was still honored and their attitude was disrespectful, they could not bear to see the enemy who hurt their prince defeated.

Ji Nai looked at Yuan Xu who said he deserved it, but he didn't show any relief or joy, but was a little bored. Yuan Xu complained about the Queen's faults for a long time, but when he turned around, he saw Ji Nai's dead look.

"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be happy? The imperial edict has been issued. No matter whether there is any conspiracy involved, the queen is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame." Yuan Xu frowned.

Yuan Xu looked at Ji Nai like this and thought that there were some twists and turns that she didn't know about, so Ji Nai was not happy about the queen's fall.

She thought: No way, the queen can't be in such a state, can she make a comeback? Kangxi doesn't look like a person who can tolerate it.

Ji Nai interrupted Yuan Xu's imagination. If this continued, the other party would be able to make up a shocking conspiracy. She explained: "Not really, it's just something that has been expected for a long time. There's nothing to be excited about."

"Ah? How did you know?" Yuan Xu was dumbfounded. It seemed that nothing special had happened during this period of time. How come Ji Nai always knew things that she didn't know?

No, that's not right. It seems that nothing happened. Yuan Xu recalled the day when Kangxi came to Zhongcui Palace. At that time, Ji Nai was so frightened that he lost his composure because the queen looked completely different from her previous life.

Afterwards, in order to cover up the matter, Ji Nai deliberately reported the Queen's abnormality to Kangxi and revealed his suspicion that she might be related to Chenghu's death.

"But is there any connection between the two?"

"How can it be unrelated? The emperor has always been a suspicious species. Any random words or looks can arouse their suspicion. And that day, even if my words had no evidence, it sounded like an empty accusation against the queen.

But the pale face that day could not be faked. At least in Kangxi's eyes, I was always a fool and could not act so realistically scared. Then he would think, why am I so scared, is it really just a misunderstanding?

How could he not investigate the matter when he had a suspicion? Not to mention that this matter concerned his own son and queen, how could the emperor, who held great power, tolerate something beyond his control beside his bed? "

"So, Kangxi will definitely investigate. The reason why he issued such an imperial decree is that he has already investigated clearly that the queen is indeed..."

Yuan Xu finally understood why Ji Nai looked so depressed. Kangxi's decree proved what the queen had done to Chenghu, and the queen's change was undoubtedly what Ji Nai feared the most.

Of course, what Ji Nai feared was the Heavenly Dao who might destroy her hopes, not the Queen who might attract the Heavenly Dao's attention.

"In fact, I don't think the queen has changed much. Didn't you say that the queen in the previous life had all the advantages, the emperor's favor, the honorable position, and the advantages, so her position was stable, and she was always a virtuous queen on the surface.

But what about privately? Have you forgotten what happened during the reign of Empress Xiaochengren? Chengrui, Chengqing, Saiyinchahun, Changhua, Changsheng, not to mention those children who died before they were born.

Could it be that all this has nothing to do with the queen who manages the harem? If so, why did you become enemies with the queen? So, in my opinion, the queen has not changed at all, but she didn't need to do this in her previous life."

Listening to Yuan Xu's words of comfort, Ji Nai's frown gradually dissipated.

Yuan Xu was right. Even though the queen in her previous life had a very good reputation in the previous dynasty and had always been like the white moonlight in Kangxi's heart, all the concubines in the palace knew the true face of Hesheli.

If she had not been so cruel and ruthless, the concubines in the palace would not have united and attacked Hesheli when she was giving birth.

I am the one who is crazy and worried too much.

"In the final analysis, it is because the power of Heaven is too mysterious, and our origins cannot stand up to scrutiny, so we feel guilty and have no confidence when facing Heaven."

"In fact, it doesn't have to be that way. I've thought it through these days. Since you can enter this body, you are already a legal resident of this world, not an illegal resident. What you do will not distort the course of history."

"Why not?" Ji Nai didn't understand why Yuan Xu said that.

Her purpose was very clear, which was to give birth to the children from her previous life and raise them well. Perhaps the children of peddlers and hawkers would not have any impact, but their father was Kangxi, and they were the sons of the dragon.

Even if Ji Nai herself has no ambition to compete for that position, she cannot guarantee that her children will do the same. If one day they really want to fight for it, can she really just sit back and watch?
