Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 238 Fighting for Nanny Wu

Cui Xin was anxious to find out the news, but Concubine Hui's behavior made it clear that she wanted to make trouble for Nanny Wu again, and if the mirror was moved here... she'd better avoid it first.

Originally, Concubine Hui just wanted to find something to do and refused Cui Xin's conversation, but now, looking at the mirror disappearing on the dressing table and the subtle expression on Cui Xin's face, she was really curious.

Nanny Wu quickly came over with a mirror, but her expression was a little unnatural and her movements were hesitant. She refused to hand the mirror to her.

Concubine Hui had a bad feeling in her heart, but even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't bear it when she saw herself in the mirror.

The mirror slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground, startling Nanny Wu and the people guarding the entrance to the hall.

It's not just about becoming ugly. The key point is that if she were a little thinner, she would look like a refugee.

Can I really survive childbirth safely like this? Recalling the pain I went through when Chengqing was born, Concubine Hui was a little scared.

Fortunately, I started to take good care of the fetus half a month ago, otherwise, the current situation would only be worse. Moreover, if I had not stopped at that time, I am afraid I would not be able to come back today.

Even if she was lucky enough to return to the Yanxi Palace, there would be all kinds of accidents on the day of delivery, and she would die after giving birth to the child. So, she still had some luck, maybe Chengqing was blessing her.

Concubine Hui was sad for a long time before she came to her senses and dealt with the situation. Nanny Wu had been left out for a while.

Nanny Wu was very conflicted about Concubine Hui at this moment. She should have blamed her for not listening to her and secretly taking revenge on the Queen without her knowledge, which led to the death of Prince Chenghu and implicated herself.

But today in Kunning Palace, when Concubine Hui made her excuses, she was clearly trying to distance herself from Madam Wu and exonerate her, which is why Madam Wu was able to escape.

Otherwise, Concubine Hui could be temporarily spared from punishment because of the royal heir. Why would a servant like her be worthy of forgiveness?

It was true that Concubine Hui had harmed her, but it was also true that she had saved her. Therefore, Nanny Wu could not simply resent Concubine Hui, but she could not simply be grateful to her either.

In addition, after all, she had watched Chengqing grow up, and Nanny Wu was not without pain and guilt for his death. Nanny Wu did not know how to face Concubine Hui, but since the Emperor did not give any order, she could only continue to stay in the Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Hui saw that Nanny Wu was struggling, so she spoke first, "Nanny, do you know why I want to save you?"

"Please teach me, Master."

"Don't you feel guilty calling me master? Logically, I shouldn't keep a servant who betrays his master. I have no psychological burden to get rid of you with the help of His Majesty.

However, the only people in the palace who remember Chengqing are probably you and me. Even his biological father may not remember this child. But it hasn’t even been a year since Chengqing passed away!"

Nanny Wu had never thought that Concubine Hui kept her here for Prince Chengqing. "I am sorry for Prince Chengqing. I failed to protect him well."

Hearing what Madam Wu said, Concubine Hui couldn't hold back her tears any longer. It wasn't just Madam Wu who felt sorry for Chengqing, but also herself who had been provoking the Queen and bringing disaster upon Chengqing, as well as the Queen who was the culprit and Kangxi who protected the culprit.

“There is something strange about Chengqing’s death, but Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and no one is willing to give me justice. Except for our tears, who else would care?

But Chenghu passed away, and everyone in the palace was trembling with fear, fearing that they would be implicated. Rongpin was injured so badly, and I was about to give birth, but I was still interrogated like a criminal. Why? Why! "

"People are divided into different classes. Even if they are all His Majesty's sons, there are still distinctions of high and low status. A son's status is determined by his mother's. Prince Chengqing is naturally inferior to Prince Chenghu."

Nanny Wu's words were very impolite, but her original intention was not to satirize Concubine Hui, nor did she intend to attack her, but this was the fact.

People should always see themselves clearly. Only by knowing their own identity can they put themselves in the right position and avoid making mistakes.

"So, it was my status as a bannerman that dragged down Chengqing? Can we really just let Chengqing's death go like this?" Concubine Hui looked at Nanny Wu, her eyes full of pleading.

Nanny Wu closed her eyes. She knew she had no way to go and could not go back to the Emperor. The only one she could rely on was Concubine Hui. Only when she was well could she be well.

This time, Nanny Wu did not perfunctorily deal with it, but seriously planned for Concubine Hui. She said softly, "Although the palace looks at family background, it does not care too much. No matter how noble the surname is, they are all servants of the Aisin-Gioro family.

Birth did determine the starting point of the nobles, and sometimes the upper limit, but this was not absolute. More importantly, it depended on the emperor's favor, his offspring, and his position.

A concubine of high rank who is favored and has children cannot be easily touched even by the queen, let alone a queen who is not favored, has no children, and has no real power. "

"Mammy, what you mean is that if I were not a mere concubine today, even if that was the queen or the legitimate son, I would not have lost so miserably?"

“To be honest, a concubine without a rank is not much higher than a palace maid. The only difference is that one is a master with a title, and the other is a slave.

The difference between a concubine and a queen is too great. Even if His Majesty has more affection for you, he still cannot ignore the disparity in status between the two. Therefore, I advised you not to seek revenge, because you really had no chance of winning. "

"But Mammy, knowing all this, why did you still bother to sow discord between me and the Queen? Weren't you afraid that I would be defeated by the Queen?"

"This is His Majesty's intention. I came to your side to obey His Majesty's orders and protect you. Moreover, although you are weak, you have His Majesty's support behind you, so you are naturally able to compete with the Queen."

"He backed me up? Mammy, didn't you see how miserably I failed?"

"That's because you attacked the heir to the throne, which touched His Majesty's bottom line, so he naturally won't protect you. Didn't I remind you at the beginning that you can take revenge on the queen, but don't touch Prince Chenghu."

"You can take revenge on the queen, but don't touch Chenghu? You can take revenge on the queen, but don't touch Chenghu. Haha, hahahaha. So that's how it is, so that's how it is. I thought I had destiny and was so smug about it, but it turns out I'm just a pawn."

"Master?" Nanny Wu was a little flustered. How come the master suddenly laughed while she was talking? He looked so crazy. Could it be that he was suffering from hysteria like the queen?

Concubine Hui laughed for a long time before she stopped, tears still in the corners of her eyes, "Mammy, His Majesty suddenly began to favor me and indulge me in provoking the Queen, why is that?"

"I would venture to guess that perhaps she wants to raise you to compete with the Queen and balance the power in the harem."

"If that's the case, isn't Rongpin more suitable than me?"

"this......"

"It's just that I can't bear to let her go. His Majesty likes Rongpin, so how could he bear to let her take risks? And he certainly won't let her become a chess piece that is destined to be abandoned."

"Master, what have you thought of?"

Concubine Hui shook her head. This was just her guess. Although it was very likely to be true, she didn't dare to say it out loud. Having lived in this era for so long, she naturally understood that such a secret could cost lives.

As for the Queen, her mood was the most complicated. She didn't know whether tomorrow would bring hope or a cup of poison bestowed by the Empress Dowager.

She never expected that the way to survival she had fought so hard for, after making a desperate and painful decision, would be ruined by Nanny Zheng. How dare she!

Although the queen knew that she and her family were almost at odds, she still believed that even if people's hearts were not united, their interests were ultimately the same. In addition, if she threatened, the Hesheli family would always stand behind her.

But she didn't expect that Hesheli would abandon her directly. Why did Madam Zheng know her illness, but exposed it so easily? She didn't believe that there was no Madam's hand in this.

If Nanny Zheng knew the desperate words she had said to Mama, she would definitely not dare to use her hysteria as an excuse to absolve herself of the responsibility of Hesheli for not teaching her daughter well.

Mama sent Mama Zheng to the palace not to help herself, but to reveal her illness at an appropriate time.
