Chapter 465: Didn’t You Ask For It?
"I always thought she had traded her child for a concubine position, and only then did she catch up with the second great promotion and become one of the four concubines."
"In the 17th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinzhen was born. Uya was subsequently granted the title of noble lady, and the following year, she was promoted to Depin. The first major promotion of the six concubines took place in the 16th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. Even though Kangxi wasn't as stingy with positions as he had been in the early years, Uya had no family background and no looks like Concubine Yi. How could she suddenly be favored and become the head of a palace?
Was it just because of the child? Nala's wife Wan Ruo died in the 18th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, so she had no place among the seven concubines in the six palaces during the first grand ceremony.
If it is to compensate Uya for having her child taken away from her, that is impossible. The thunder and rain from the superior are all rewards. Even if it is poisoned wine, you have to thank him.
Besides, wouldn't the guilt and compensation for Uya mean that Kangxi also felt that Tonggiya was indeed wrong? Would Kangxi slap Tonggiya in the face for Uya?
The more Yuan Xu listened, the more she felt there must be something fishy going on. She thought she was about to have a good time, but she saw Ji Nai stop talking. "What's wrong? Why don't you say anything?"
"That's all." "That's all?" "What else?" Ji Nai rolled his eyes. "At this time in my previous life, Rongxian and Yinzhi were the only ones around me. I was suspicious all the time, afraid that these two children would be harmed. Even though Uya's promotion was unusual, I didn't have the heart to investigate further."
At that time, Ji Nai was a walking corpse, caring nothing for anything except the instinct to protect his child. Even when he was one of the four concubines during the second grand ceremony, Ji Nai was surprised.
But she would rather not have herself, would rather Kangxi really forget her, than he clearly still remembers her and cherishes their old friendship, but his actions all show that in his heart she is not as good as the mother of his eldest son, nor as good as the newcomer.
But at the beginning, they were clearly in love, and she was so arrogant that she flaunted her power in Kunning Palace and forced the Queen to give in by using her status as a concubine. Who still remembers that in the eyes of the newcomers, Rong Fei, who had always been low-key and self-centered, had also been flamboyant, even more so than Yi Fei.
Kangxi took advantage of Nara, but at that time, he was really good to me. Even if he was dissatisfied, he never embarrassed me in public. He only taught me not to be rude to the queen when they were alone.
However, when she turned around and found fault with the Queen because she was dissatisfied, Kangxi did not get angry and still protected her in front of outsiders.
At that time, Ji Nai truly believed that Kangxi's kindness to him would last a lifetime. But when did it all change? It seemed that after Chengrui's death, Kangxi's attitude changed. Then came Saiyin Chahun, Changsheng, Changhua...
Ji Nai had resented Kangxi, but he still fell in love with this man again. It was not only because they had truly loved each other, but also because Ji Nai knew that he was one of the culprits of the tragedy in his previous life, and it was not entirely Kangxi's fault.
"You're keeping me in suspense." Yuan Xu complained, pretending not to notice the flash of sadness on Ji Nai's face.
Ji Nai came back to his senses and snorted coldly, "Originally, as long as we don't interfere too much, we have a chance to figure it out."
"That's not necessarily true," Yuan Xu said guiltily, defending himself. "I was thinking that even the mildest contraceptive pills would harm a woman's body. What if the pills were too strong and Wu Ya felt unwell? Wouldn't it be exposed if she asked the imperial physician to see her?"
This is possible. After all, for ambitious women in the palace, the ability to give birth is of paramount importance. They will naturally be cautious in this regard. Uya is a cautious and shrewd person, so she will naturally not ignore the changes in her body.
So... Ji Nai sneered, "So, the medicine you gave me was the mildest kind, which has a chance of being cured."
Yuan Xu's eyes wandered. Furthermore, she had originally planned to do it less often and in greater quantities. Even if Ji Nai found out, she wouldn't stop. She thought, wait and see for a while, and then make her move once she was free of any problems.
It is impossible for the heaven to keep an eye on her all the time, right? There is also a Concubine Hui who traveled through time. What if she knew in advance that Uya would give birth to the future emperor and took the initiative?
"If you continue like this, I might as well destroy everything in the system space right now."
"No! What if they can be used in the future? Those are all useful, and some are life-saving..." But no matter what Yuan Xu said, Ji Nai remained indifferent.
Although the things were all on her, Yuan Xu really didn't dare to disobey if Ji Nai forced her to destroy them all.
"I was wrong. I just... I just feel like I'm completely useless. I could help you watch over the cubs before, but now... not only Zhong Cui Palace, but also Cheng Rui and Sai Yincha are all protected by many people, both openly and secretly. There is almost no chance of success.
You're also starting to get serious and prepare to join the palace fight... I can't do anything except wander around every day."
Ji Nai suddenly realized that he seemed to have ignored Yuan Xu for a long time. This child wanted to commit suicide and took action because of the conflict with his family. His mental state may not be very healthy.
In addition, they were later exploited and squeezed by the system. Even though the two of them accompanied each other, they must have been left with psychological trauma.
She had Kangxi and the children, and most of her time went by just taking care of them. But what about Yuanxu? She was all alone. How could she get through those days and nights while Ji Nai was busy with his own affairs?
It is possible that Yuan Xu's attack on Uya this time was because he had thoughts of committing suicide again.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not need you!" Seeing that Yuan Xu didn't believe what he said at all, Ji Nai sneered: "Originally, I was worried that excessive exploitation would cause some people to feel dissatisfied, so I specially gave them a holiday.
But now it seems that being too idle isn't good either, it makes me overthink things. So, I'll end my vacation early and go straight back to work."
"what?"
Before Yuan Xu could react, Ji Nai rattled off a string of names, then added, "These people aren't simple. It's easy to find them if they're hiding something, but thankfully, we have you here to monitor them."
"No, I...I'm alone, I can't split myself."
Ji Nai said coldly, "Just make a few more trips. The possibility of them doing things at the same time and plotting at the same time is still very small."
Seeing Yuan Xu's face full of disbelief, Ji Nai frowned and said, "Why are you making that expression? Wasn't this your own request?"
