Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 369

If Ji Nai could move around freely, he would not dare to make the situation in the palace become more unpredictable. However, in order to protect several children, especially Chengrui who was far away in the South Third Institute, Ji Nai had to take risks.

Ji Nai still had confidence in the Zhongcui Palace, which she had run for many years, so she planned to send her most trusted nanny, Li Ma, to Chengrui's side.

In order to prevent the people below from feeling uncomfortable, Ji Nai specially called everyone over and explained his plan to them:

"Madame Li, I have confidence in your abilities. I'll leave Chengrui in your care."

Nanny Li was well aware that a storm was about to come. So many eyes were watching the Empress's baby. There would definitely be trouble during the birth, not to mention that there was also a concubine, Zhao Jia, who was also expecting a baby. It would be easy for her to fish in troubled waters.

As long as the Queen falls, even if the concubines below are still some distance away from the imperial concubines, there is no need for them to unite and fight against each other. At that time, the "Concubines Alliance" which already has its own thoughts will immediately collapse.

In this case, these people naturally would not want their allies to turn into competitors to safely give birth to a royal heir.

However, compared to Prince Chengrui, the master who had just given birth to a child and was still very weak was more dangerous.

After all, as long as the master died, the princes and princesses in Zhongcui Palace would lose the protection of their mothers. Except for Prince Saiyinchahun who was raised in Shoukang Palace, which one would be difficult to deal with?

What's more, there is a newborn baby boy who doesn't remember anything yet. Such a young child is the easiest to raise.

As for the future, if she has her own biological child, she can either use this little prince to pave the way or let the adopted son become a helper to her biological child. If she cannot give birth to her own child, as the prince's adoptive mother, she may not be without a chance to compete.

If she wins, even if she is not her biological mother, she can still become the empress dowager based on her filial piety. If she loses, since she is not her own flesh and blood, she will not feel sad if she is sentenced to death. At least she can save her own life.

I'm afraid many people have such thoughts, so Nanny Li doesn't want to leave Zhongcui Palace and doesn't want to leave her master's side.

Ji Nai understood Li Ma's loyalty, so he patiently advised: "I am the only master of Zhongcui Palace. Over the years, even if not all of them are our people, those with problems will not be able to touch important things. Besides, Yusheng and Yuqing have been trained by you and can handle things on their own. There are also Yuqin, Yuhu and other second-class palace maids under them, so there will be no shortage of manpower."

"But Princess Rongxian and the little prince are still young. If something happens to the servants around them, I'm afraid Yusheng and the others won't be able to take care of them."

"Don't worry. I'll have someone bring the baby here in the next few days. The delivery room is small and can't accommodate so many people. If the baby is hungry, have the wet nurse squeeze the milk into a bowl and feed it to the baby after testing."

After Chengrui's wet nurse backstabbed him, even though the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs had their backgrounds checked several times and had never revealed any hidden tricks, Ji Nai did not dare to trust them, especially at such a critical moment.

It is still safest to keep the children by my side.

However, Rongxian and "Changhua" can be kept by his side, but Chengrui and Saiyinchahun cannot.

The child has grown up and she is in confinement after childbirth. Even if they are biological mother and child, they have to avoid suspicion according to the rules.

It's okay with Saiyinchahun, as the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are there, so nothing will happen to him. Ji Nai only needs to ask Xiao Anzi to send a disciple over to report the news.

Only Chengrui made Ji Nai most worried.

"Mammy, Chengrui is not in good health and can't stand the hardship. He is in the South Third House. If something happens, distant water cannot quench nearby fire. Although the eunuch beside him has been with him since he was a child and is loyal, he is still young and inexperienced. I don't plan to keep those wet nurses, so I didn't let them get close to Chengrui. If something happens, I'm afraid they won't be very attentive. You are the only one I can count on."

Seeing that the master insisted, even though Li Ma Ma was still worried, she had no choice but to agree. Only if she protected Prince Chengrui could the master feel at ease.

……

Soon, it was the day when Empress Hesheli launched the rebellion. After receiving the news, Ji Nai, who was still in confinement, immediately asked Xiao Anzi to close the door.

As for Chengrui and Saiyinchahun, a few days ago, when they came to visit Zhongcui Palace, Ji Nai had carefully reminded them not to run around during this period and to keep someone around them.

No matter where he went, Chengrui had to take Li Ma and Xiao Fuzi with him, and Saiyin Chahun had to take the people arranged by the Empress Dowager to be around him.

Once you receive the news that the Queen has launched an attack, you don't have to worry about your mother, and don't come to Zhongcui Palace. No matter what news you hear, don't believe it and don't be afraid.

Even if someone familiar in Zhongcui Palace said something, you couldn't believe it, let alone follow them. The only people you could trust were your father, the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager.

As it turned out, Ji Nai's worries were not unnecessary.

In May of the 13th year of the Kangxi reign, Empress Hesheli gave birth to her second son, but died in Kunning Palace due to complications during childbirth.

On the same day, ominous signs occurred in many places in the palace:

Zhongcui Palace and Chuxiu Palace caught fire. Concubine Rong Ma Jia, Princess Rongxian, and the newborn prince were frightened. Fortunately, the eldest princess was rescued by concubine Zhang and was not seriously injured, but the concubine's face was destroyed by the fire.

When the wet nurse in Ningshou Palace was holding the fourth princess, her elbow suddenly lost strength and she accidentally dropped the princess to the ground.

The concubine Zhaojia accidentally slipped on the palace path and became ill due to the fright. She still hadn't given birth to an imperial heir until midnight.

When Concubine Hui Nara went to Kunning Palace, she was bumped by a servant and fell on her head, breaking her head and she is still in a coma.

In addition, several concubines were also injured to varying degrees for various reasons. Among them, the most serious injury was that of Concubine Irgen Jueluo, as she only suffered a wound on her face.

When Kangxi learned that Hesheli had given birth to a prince, he also received news from various places.

His first reaction was worry, worry that something might happen to Ji Nai and the children. His second reaction was wanting to kill someone. These women in his harem were really resourceful. They could cause all these troubles in just one day.

Kangxi took advantage of the Queen's death to suspend court for five days. He also mobilized his own people to cut off communication between the palace and outside, and strictly prohibited any news from the palace from leaking out.

Then, he took the newborn baby prince away from Kunning Palace, and regardless of the fact that Hesheli's body was still warm, he ordered all the palace maids in Kunning Palace to be buried with her.

Nanny Zheng, who was originally crying with joy because the Empress gave birth to a little prince, suddenly widened her eyes.

She wanted to regain the hope of the Hesheli family and wanted to ask the Emperor why, but before she could make any sound, she was blocked by the people led by Liang Jiugong and dragged away.
