Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 378

"Not once?"

Nanny Li shook her head with certainty. The gate of the Cining Palace was closed during this period. Not only did the Empress Dowager go out, but even when a concubine came to visit, the Empress Dowager avoided her.

Both the master and the servant were very confused about the abnormality in the Cining Palace, and then a terrible idea came into their minds.

No way!

Ji Nai and Nanny Li could both see the shock and disbelief on each other's faces, but it seemed that only this possibility could explain the current situation.

Yuan Xu looked at the two of them, and she found that even though she had made progress, she still couldn't keep up with their thinking.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Why would the Empress Dowager do this? After all, the princesses are the great-granddaughters of the Empress Dowager."

It’s not that the Empress Dowager, who served three dynasties, was a kind person and would not do such a thing. The key point is, what did she want?

"Perhaps, it's for the position of Empress?" Ji Nai guessed, "The more chaotic the palace is, the sooner His Majesty will appoint a new Empress, and the Empress Dowager will have more influence on the selection of Empress."

Otherwise, when the Three Feudatories Rebellion was quelled, Kangxi would have time to spare and would have no time to care about his grandmother, the Empress Dowager.

"For the sake of choosing the successor, she would harm her own great-granddaughter?" Yuan Xu thought that he knew enough about the cruelty of the women in the palace, but now his three views were refreshed again.

Ji Nai explained to both Li Ma and Yuan Xu, saying, "If it was really the Empress Dowager who did it, it would be very difficult for anyone to find evidence against her. Even if His Majesty had doubts, he couldn't do anything. After all, His Majesty values filial piety, so how could he slap himself in the face for something he had no evidence of.

But the reaction of the Cining Palace showed that this incident was very serious. At least Emperor Kangxi was really angry, so the Empress Dowager had to temporarily avoid the limelight. "

Nanny Li speculated, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager was also being plotted against?"

Ji Nai nodded in agreement with Li Ma's words. She thought so too.

Yuan Xu guessed, "So the Grand Empress Dowager did want to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to influence the selection of the successor, but while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind. A group of people have targeted the Grand Empress Dowager's people and are plotting behind her.

Maybe the Empress Dowager didn't really want anything to happen to the princesses, but because of that group of people's promotion, the matter was blown out of proportion."

[No matter what the Empress Dowager thought, she ultimately put the children in danger. If she hadn't been calculating, those people wouldn't have found an opportunity to do it.]

"Indeed, the reason why the Empress Dowager treated the princesses as pawns shows that she despises them. The Empress Dowager herself has daughters, so why is she like this..."

[The children of the royal family are precious, but not that important. When necessary, even if they are princes, what? They will still be abandoned without mercy. Anyway, as long as the one on the throne is healthy, there will always be another child.

Men are different from women. Even when they are older, they can still have children, and there is no shortage of young women in the world. 】

Yuan Xu nodded sympathetically, then she suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Hey? That's not right, Chengrui's accident wasn't caused by the Empress Dowager, was it?"

[No. Chengrui is the eldest son. Even though he is not qualified to inherit the throne, the significance is different. Moreover, he has several brothers. The Queen Mother has no need to make a deadly feud with Zhongcui Palace at this time.]

It’s not that the Empress Dowager can’t do it, but there is really no need to do it.

Even if Saiyinchahun was raised by the Empress Dowager, can the deep love between grandfather and grandson erase the hatred of his brother's murder?

The children have not grown up yet, and because ambitions and interests are drifting further and further apart, taking action against Chengrui at this time will only push Saiyinchahun to Zhongcui Palace, and the Empress Dowager's efforts over the years will be wasted.

In fact, Ji Nai knew clearly that the people who hurt the princesses and Cheng Rui were two different groups. As for the people who set fire to Zhongcui Palace, Ji Nai was more inclined to believe that they were the same group that hurt Cheng Rui.

Ji Nai had two suspects in his mind, one was Hesheli, and the other was Nara.

If it was the former, then her purpose was naturally to pave the way for her son. Once Chengrui and Yinhua died, Yinreng's position would naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

After all, Kangxi would never consider Sayin Chahun, who was supported by Khorchin. As for Yinzhen, who was outside the palace, Kangxi was unlikely to consider him as long as he remembered Chenghu's death.

Or perhaps, Hesheli might not be willing to let Yinzhen go, but he was far away from the palace and Hesheli could not reach him, so she did not take action against Yinzhen.

If it was Nara, she was naturally concerned about Yinzhen's future, and even her injury this time might have been directed and acted by herself.

"But who in this palace has the ability to plot against the Grand Empress Dowager?" Nanny Li hesitated and said, "It can't be..."

"Impossible." Ji Nai knew, of course, that Nanny Li was talking about Kangxi.

But Kangxi was not so crazy as to sacrifice his own daughter in order to plot against the Grand Empress Dowager. If it really came to that, Kangxi would not just want the Grand Empress Dowager to retreat to the Cining Palace, but would definitely kill her with one strike.

"It's more like someone is trying to sow discord between His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager, trying to drive them apart."

Nanny Li followed her master's line of thought and it seemed to be true. "So, even if His Majesty knew that someone was behind this, he would not be so resentful of the Empress Dowager's behavior."

"So, who is it?"

……

"It must be Hesheli. She has always resented me and thought that I was the one who caused the relationship between her and the emperor. But she didn't think about it. As the queen, she not only failed to fulfill her duties, but also attacked the royal heir and concubines. She has no tolerance for others. Which king can tolerate this?"

The Empress Dowager twisted her Buddhist beads, but she could not eliminate the murderous intent in her heart.

"I was wrong when I said the Queen was stupid. How could she be stupid? Even I fell into her trap." The Empress Dowager now regretted very much that she had not gotten rid of this scourge earlier, and she gave her the opportunity to fight back.

"These people can't stand the good relationship between me and the emperor. The Tong family is like this, and so are the Hesheli family. But what makes me most heartbroken is the emperor's attitude. He actually refuses to forgive me. Do I want to hurt the eldest princess and the others? They are also my descendants!"

Su Malagu listened quietly to her princess' complaints without saying a word.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager noticed something was wrong with Su Malagu and asked, "Su Malagu, why don't you speak?"

Su Malagu then said, "Gege, you really did something wrong this time."

The Empress Dowager was excited when she heard this. "Su Ma, even you don't support me?"
