Chapter 192: Death of Nanny Zhao



Chapter 192: Death of Nanny Zhao

Who would have thought that the Queen wanted to let Nara go for the time being, but she couldn't stand the fact that she was looking for death and kept jumping around in front of the Queen, so the Queen took the opportunity to deal with Chengqing as well.

However, the queen at that time was still somewhat rational. She knew that the palace had lost two princes in succession, leaving only her own Chenghu, which would inevitably cause an uproar.

Therefore, the Queen gave Chengrui a heavy dose of medicine, but Chengqing a very small dose. The Queen's original plan was to let the poison eat away at Chengqing's body bit by bit, making him weak, and it would be best if a cold could kill Chengqing.

But some time ago, the Queen was unhappy. She wanted to take revenge on Nara and deal with the wet nurse who betrayed her, so she said those words to her.

The queen originally thought that Zhao Ma was a fool and that she only needed to find an excuse to deal with Zhao Ma when the matter failed. If the matter was done, in order not to implicate herself, she had no choice but to kill her to silence her.

The Queen just didn't expect that Nanny Zhao had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. This made the Queen terrified that there was actually a poisonous snake lurking beside her.

For the sake of her own life, Madam Zhao could only advise: "Concubine Hui is still pregnant, and Prince Chengqing just died. At this time, His Majesty must be paying attention to Concubine Hui's safety at all times."

Nanny Zhao's original intention was to mention His Majesty to make the Queen cautious, but she never expected that the Queen had just been offended by Kangxi and was not in a position to listen to this.

"Isn't it better to be pregnant? Pregnant women are the most vulnerable. If you're not careful, two people could die."

Zhao Ma, who was familiar with the queen, felt strange. The queen was not in a good state. Was she crazy? Zhao Ma, who felt that she had discovered a big secret, did not dare to provoke the queen anymore. She had to agree to it first and only said that she would think about what to do.

After leaving, Madam Zhao quickly contacted the man and asked them to think of a way to rescue her from the palace. At first, the other party was very confused and just asked Madam Zhao to wait patiently, but suddenly she heard the other party reveal a big secret.

"What did you say? Is there something wrong with the Queen's mind?"

"It was said by Aunt Zhao who is beside the Queen. It shouldn't be false."

"That's really, really interesting!"

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhao urged us to rescue her from the palace immediately. Should we agree to her request?"

"Of course not! From the beginning, I never thought of saving her. She is the Queen's wet nurse, but she betrayed the Queen for the sake of profit. Can she still be loyal to us? Keeping such a person will only bring hidden dangers."

"Then..."

"Well, after all, the mouth of the dead is more reliable."

On the second day, the queen, who was waiting for good news from Nanny Zhao, only received the news of Nanny Zhao's death.

The Queen did not seem to be sad at all, and even blamed Nanny Zhao a little. She said that even if she was going to die, she should finish her job before dying. She was still expecting someone from the Yanx Palace to announce her death.

Moreover, Zhao Ma died in the evening when she fell into the water. Could she have been doing something at that time? If an accident happened at this time, would it leave any traces? I have to clean up the mess for her myself, which is really troublesome.

After hearing the news of Zhao Ma's death, Kangxi no longer felt any ripples in his heart. In his opinion, this was another work of the Queen, who wanted to push a servant to take the blame and put an end to the matter.

However, Kangxi did not want to continue to let the empress go, even though he could not depose her on the charge of murdering the royal heir. So the empress was placed under house arrest, and as the year drew to a close, the duration of her confinement was undecided.

This news caused an uproar in the former dynasty. Everyone thought of the untimely death of Prince Chengqing. It seemed that the Queen was responsible for confining him at this time.

Some relatives began to impeach the Hesheli family, saying that they did not teach their daughter well. They did not target the queen openly, but anyone could see that the turmoil originated from the palace.

Who let the Hesheli family raise a good daughter? The repeated attempts to murder the heir to the throne made these princes and dukes unhappy. But now the queen is from the Aixinjueluo family and the wife of the emperor, so they can't speak up.

In the end, they could only vent their dissatisfaction towards the Hesheli family. At the same time, they also felt sorry for Kangxi. With such a jealous and vicious wife, Kangxi was deeply sympathized by his relatives.

We are all relatives. Since His Majesty is limited by his status and has to consider the face of the Aisin-Gioro family and the Qing Dynasty, they will seek justice from the Hesheli family.

The Hesheli family had been tormented by the royal relatives these days, and they complained all day long. Suo Etu had to deal with the attacks from outside and comfort his family, and he was very busy.

For a moment, Suo Etu wanted to break up with the debt collector, but in the end, for the sake of Prince Chenghu, he gave up the idea. He had to patiently pass on the message to the palace, asking the queen not to act rashly, and he would find a way.

During this period, it was not only Soetu who was irritable and angry, but also Ji Nai, who was also annoyed by Yuan Xu.

"You know that, don't you?"

【What? 】

"Don't play dumb with me. You knew the Queen would take action against Chengqing, right? That's why you were so nervous. You asked me to keep an eye on Chengrui and let Chengrui pretend to be sick outside so that he could avoid the Queen's plan."

Ji Nai was aware that he could hide this matter from others but not from Yuan Xu who had always been by his side. However, he did not expect Yuan Xu to react so quickly.

Ji Nai's face was full of relief. It seemed that Yuan Xu was getting more and more adaptable to the rhythm of the palace. Not only would he not need to take care of him in the future, but he could also become his right-hand man.

Yuan Xu saw Ji Nai's expression and guessed what he was thinking. He rolled his eyes and said, "You were too obvious. You clearly said that you would give Cheng Rui an image of being sick but not dying, but you suddenly changed your mind.

Now everyone in the palace probably thought that Prince Chengrui of Zhongcui Palace was about to die. Even Kangxi, who was relatively clear about Chengrui's true situation, was misled.

Haven't you noticed that the imperial physician has been visiting more frequently recently? Although the big pig's hoof has basically stayed in Kunning Palace and Yanxi Palace because of Chenghu and Chengqing's affairs, he still takes time to visit Chengrui every day."

Ji Nai smiled bitterly, [Isn't this because the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes? ]

"But I always feel that when the Queen opened her mouth and proposed that all the heirs gather together in Shoukang Palace, you already knew her plan."

[At that time, the atmosphere in Shoukang Palace was too awkward, and the Empress Dowager couldn't understand what they were saying. If I didn't speak up to smooth things over, would the Empress and Concubine Hui cause a scene in Shoukang Palace?

The Empress Dowager was Kangxi's legitimate mother. If his empress and concubine really started a fight in Shoukang Palace, not only would the Grand Empress Dowager be angry, but even the court would make a big fuss about it, and it would be a huge loss of face. 】
