Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 256: Never Win a Bet

Hearing this, Yuan Xu's eyes lit up. Yes, there were wet nurses and palace maids, and she didn't need to help her bestie take care of the child like the godmothers of later generations. At most, she could just look after the child from the side, and it was not like she couldn't run away even if she was annoyed or made a fuss.

[But, you also know that the people in the palace would not want to see me have more children, and I don’t know what endless means they will come up with.

In my previous life, it was because of this that they developed a sense of crisis and joined forces to murder me and the children. Changhua and Changsheng died within a few days of birth. Even with the protection of Kangxi's people, it was still hard to guard against.

Alas, Yuanxu, I can only rely on you. After all, by then, I will have to take care of the baby and recuperate, and I am afraid I will not have enough energy. 】

Yuan Xu's face turned numb.

Humph! How petty! Isn't it just comparing her to a sow? As for saying these words, are you trying to scare me? Yuan Xu didn't believe it. Ji Nai had done so much preparation before, didn't he consider the situation in the next three years?

However, seeing Ji Nai deliberately "retaliating" against her, her eyebrows relaxed, and the gloom in her eyes disappeared. Well, she would regard it as sacrificing herself, and Cai Yi would entertain "Ji Nai". After all, she was much more generous than Ji Nai.

With such a narrow mind, Ji Nai had the nerve to say that Kangxi held a grudge all day long. Yuan Xu could only say that there were two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.

Suddenly, Yuan Xu remembered another thing. "Why has Chengrui been running to Shoukang Palace all the time? Is this really okay? People who don't know would think that you are worried about the Queen Mother and sent a spy on purpose."

[Even if I want to send someone, I can just pick two palace maids and place them next to Sai Yincha. The Queen Mother won't say anything anyway, so why bother involving another son?]

"I'm just afraid that others will think too much, especially the Empress Dowager. Once she finds out that you are not disfigured, she will be even more unhappy. What if she takes advantage of the situation?"

[Have you not noticed that the Queen Mother has been smiling more during this period? So, my doing this not only does not mean that I don’t trust the Queen Mother, but it also suits her wishes.

In the heart of the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is always different. Even if it is just to make the Empress Dowager happy, even if she is dissatisfied with me, she will not use this matter to criticize me. 】

"Even if the Empress Dowager won't take advantage of this, Chengrui is always running away. I'm afraid someone has noticed his physical condition. In the past, they all thought that Chengrui was not a big deal and there was no need to take action against him, but now..."

[So, I couldn't hold Chengrui hostage and let her run to Shoukang Palace. From the beginning, I reluctantly separated from Saiyin Chahun, hoping not only for the safety of Saiyin Chahun alone.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager also understood what I meant, but she didn't know whether the other party had forgotten about it after so much time had passed. I should at least remind them. 】

Yuan Xu muttered: "Can't you just be straightforward? When you do something, you always have to go around in circles to express your meaning. What if you guess wrong?

Moreover, I guess the Empress Dowager has not forgotten at all, she did it on purpose. Anyway, Saiyin Chahun has already arrived at Shoukang Palace, she has broken her promise, what can you do? You used Chengrui to remind her, but she simply pretended that she didn't understand, what can you do? "

【She won’t! 】

"You said it won't happen? What if it happens?"

【Then let's make a bet? 】

"No! I've never won a bet with you."

......

Qianqing Palace

Liang Jiugong came back with the news he had just gotten from the interrogation, his legs trembling. His face was so terribly gloomy that the servants in the Qianqing Palace avoided him and dared not approach him.

Who knows the pain in Liang Jiugong's heart?

He just said that this was a tough job. The Queen really wanted to make herself die, but she also wanted to implicate herself. The His Majesty was furious when he heard the news. Would he, the person who reported the news, have any good consequences?

Or maybe there are too few servants in the Qianqing Palace, so His Majesty only thinks of sending me when there is something going on. This can't go on any longer. It seems that I have to train apprentices, and push them out next time something like this happens.

Kangxi, who was correcting the memorials that were delayed in the afternoon, heard someone coming in and subconsciously looked up. Sure enough, it was Liang Jiugong, whom he had been waiting for for a long time.

However, looking at Liang Jiugong's constipated expression, Kangxi knew that it might not be good news.

Kangxi tried hard to calm his turmoil and listened to Liang Jiugong's report with a calm expression.

"According to the confession of the servants in Kunning Palace, the night before Prince Chenghu passed away, the Empress was indeed alone with the prince, and at that time the Empress said that she wanted to be alone with the prince.

At that time, the servants all thought that the Empress, seeing that Prince Chenghu was seriously ill, finally had a motherly heart and wanted to make amends to Prince Chenghu, so they did not suspect anything. During the interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment, they did not mention this matter. "

In fact, if Kangxi had not specifically asked Liang Jiugong to ask whether the Queen had been alone with Prince Chenghu before the accident, no one would have thought that there was anything wrong for a mother to be alone with her own son.

Liang Jiugong paused, then continued: "But on the second day, Prince Chenghu was critically ill." Liang Jiugong lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence.

If we say that at the beginning, Liang Jiugong didn't know what the Emperor intended to do, but after interrogating the servants and imperial doctors in Kunning Palace, putting their answers together and thinking carefully, he knew what the Queen had done.

"Heh, Chenghu's condition suddenly worsened overnight. Didn't anyone notice that something was wrong?"

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to answer, but if he really asked him to say it, His Majesty was just being wise after the event.

Not to mention, Prince Chenghu was already very ill at the time. It was normal for a child with a weak constitution to die suddenly overnight. After all, the prince had been ill on and off for a long time.

Besides, who would doubt that the queen would harm her own child?

Even if the Queen had been too harsh on Prince Chenghu because of the enlightenment issue, and even if the Queen did not look like someone who truly loved the child, no one would think that the Queen would kill her own child, whether out of emotion or out of considerations of interest. No one would even have this idea.

Moreover, even if a palace maid really noticed that the queen's behavior was not right, would she dare to speak out? She would just keep the matter to herself forever. If she didn't speak out, she would die, but if she spoke out, she would die faster.

"What about the imperial physician? Did he find out anything?"

"It's not wrong for the imperial physician who specializes in treating hysteria for the queen. He said that he had no relationship with the Hesheli family, but his medical skills were not very good, and the money he earned with his skills was not enough to support a large family.

So when the Hesheli family came to him with a large amount of gold and silver, he was tempted. He thought that he was only helping the queen with her illness and did not help the Hesheli family to harm the royal heirs and concubines, so nothing would happen, so he agreed. "

Kangxi snorted coldly. He hated the queen, but he also disliked Hesheli. When dealing with Oboi, Hesheli took the benefits but was unwilling to put in the effort. She took the ability to judge the situation and avoid harm to the extreme.

So from the beginning, Hesheli had no good intentions in finding this imperial physician for the queen. Money can indeed tempt people, but how many people who are attracted by money are reliable?

Hesheli abandoned the queen so easily, it seemed that she had indeed learned the news that he was going to depose her. In this case, Ji Nai's guess that the queen also knew this news was very likely to be true.

The reason for the assassination was revealed, and the opportunity to do it was also there. The truth that Kangxi was most reluctant to see was about to surface. He suddenly didn't dare to ask any more questions, but things had come to this point. As a father and an emperor, he couldn't help but pursue the final answer.

"Where is the imperial physician who treated Chenghu?"

"The imperial physician insisted that his diagnosis and treatment were correct. According to his prescription, even if Prince Chenghu would not recover, it would not be possible for him to recover so quickly..."

"But the fact is that Cheng Hu did die of illness under his care, and he still dares to make excuses until now."

Even if the Queen wanted to use Chenghu as a victim and secretly reduced Chenghu's medication dosage, the Imperial Physician took Chenghu's pulse every day and did not notice anything. Wasn't this his dereliction of duty?

"Doctor Hu has even been protesting his injustice, saying that Prince Chenghu's death was clearly due to him being dragged into the underworld of the harem and it was not his fault." At this point, Liang Jiugong was already sweating profusely.
