The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 119

With Nian Xilan's mobilization, Yikun Palace immediately became busy.Fortunately, Kangxi had already made arrangements in advance. At this time, under the leadership of Li Dequan and Fang Wan, the palace people of Yikun Palace were all performing their duties, and there was no confusion.

And the midwives and maids who served Nian Xilan in the delivery room were strictly screened by Kangxi.Kangxi not only knows his character and abilities well, but even uses secret guards to find out the eighteen generations of his ancestors, ensuring that all the people he uses are innocent and loyal to Nian Xilan.

The reason is that during the Duanyang Festival palace banquet, Mu Jin found a drug that could cause miscarriage in the black chicken soup with red dates prepared for Nian Xilan in the imperial dining room.

When Kangxi found out about this incident, he was naturally furious and ordered Li Dequan to investigate the matter strictly, and by the way, re-investigated all the palace people in Yikun Palace.Although the secret work sent by other palaces was not found out, two palace maids with suspicious identities were still transferred to serve in other palaces, and the four nuns who were in charge of delivering babies were naturally investigated most carefully.

However, after careful investigation, Kangxi failed to find out the mastermind who murdered Nian Xilan with drugs.

Although Kangxi ordered someone to strictly interrogate the maid who presented the soup to the palace, after being sentenced, the maid only admitted that she was ordered by Concubine Rong, and planned to pretend to accidentally slip while presenting the soup to the palace, and intentionally put the soup on the table. The soup was splashed on Concubine Xi, making Concubine Xi embarrassing on the spot.However, regarding the matter of poisoning and murdering Concubine Xi, the maid refused to admit it until she died.

Kangxi once asked Concubine Rong to check the matter, but Concubine Rong, who had always been timid and fearful, confessed to the matter.

Faced with Kangxi's questioning, Concubine Rong tearfully mentioned that when she was pregnant with her eldest son Chengrui, she was murdered at a palace banquet and injured by the hot soup deliberately overturned by a maidservant. Having scars also caused Chengrui to give birth prematurely, and her congenital deficiencies led to her premature death.At that time, although Kangxi had also investigated the matter, it was left alone afterwards, and he was partial to the most suspected Yuan Empress Hesheli.

Concubine Rong was unwilling, so she deliberately used the same strategy on Nian Xilan, who was deeply favored, hoping to make Kangxi heartbroken and seek justice for Chengrui, who died innocently and prematurely.

Concubine Rong's words reminded Kangxi that when he was young and weak, and had not yet won the power in the court, in order to win over Sony, Ye Bilong and other ministers who were responsible for life, Hesheli and others had to be married into the harem and promised high positions.In order to gain Sony's support, Kangxi intentionally or unintentionally allowed the Hesheli family to control the harem. Although Kangxi had heard about the fact that his envoys controlled the royal blood, he had been reluctant to think about it.

Because, at that time, Kangxi needed a virtuous queen who was born in the Hesheli family, so the Hesheli family could only be a virtuous queen with outstanding virtue and respect for the world.

Therefore, when the Hesheli family suffered from dystocia in order to give birth to Yinreng, Kangxi actually did not have the slightest entanglement or reluctance in his heart to abandon the Hesheli family and keep his urgently needed son.

But the young Yinreng is indeed very well-behaved. In the process of raising Yinreng himself, Kangxi had indescribable love and affection for the young Yinreng who lost his mother.Although the current ending is not perfect, there was a time when Kangxi really cared to cultivate Yinfeng as the crown prince.

Now that the time has passed, Kangxi can only sigh at Concubine Rong's hard-to-let go of the past.

Kangxi persuaded Concubine Rong earnestly, "As the saying goes, death is the last thing. Don't think about the past. Although Chengrui is no longer here, don't forget, you still have a son. Even for Yinzhi , you should also take good care of yourself. I see that you have been a little restless recently, so stay in the bedroom and copy the scriptures."

Although Kangxi dealt with Concubine Rong, Kangxi naturally would not let Nian Xilan know about these disturbing things.But through this incident, Kangxi discovered that the mastermind behind the scenes had amazing control over the slaves in the palace.

Kangxi secretly took this matter to heart, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to strengthen the control over the maidservants and eunuchs, and dispatched reliable confidants to investigate secretly, gradually sorting out the intricate relationships between the maidservants and maidservants in the palace.

Kangxi originally thought that he had arranged everything and confirmed that the palace servants around Nian Xilan were not in any danger. Then, when Nian Xilan gave birth, he would not be too worried.However, when things came to an end, Kangxi suddenly realized that the person who brought great danger to Nian Xilan was none other than himself.

Kangxi, who already had many heirs, knew that since ancient times, giving birth to a woman was like walking half a circle through the gate of hell.But because Kangxi didn't have too deep feelings for those women, he also felt that it was normal for the court to leave the mother and keep the child.After all, no matter how noble the empress and concubines are, they cannot compare to the blood of the royal family.At the critical moment, it is very important to preserve the future of the Qing Dynasty.Because of this, even the Hesheli family, who was the queen, died of blood collapse in order to give birth to Prince Yinreng, let alone other concubines in the palace.

At this moment, Kangxi looked at the delivery room with the closed door, and regretted letting Nian Xilan become pregnant at a young age.When Kangxi thought of Nian Xilan's slender body and her huge round abdomen, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Distraught, Kangxi kept paced outside the delivery room, sometimes stopping to frown, staring at the closed door of the delivery room in a daze, for fear that a servant girl would suddenly open the door and come out and kneel on the ground and ask him, what do you want to do? Keeping Concubine Xi is still the two heirs in her womb.

Li Dequan saw Kangxi walking around outside the delivery room in agitation, so he naturally didn't dare to disturb him, but he couldn't stand by in a daze, so he gritted his teeth and followed Kangxi around in circles. .

Kangxi waited for a long while upset, always feeling something was wrong.When Kangxi turned around suddenly, Li Dequan couldn't dodge in time, and bumped directly into Kangxi's body.

Li Dequan was startled, and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty.When Kangxi was hit by Li Dequan, he suddenly remembered a very important thing.It has been less than half an hour since Nian Xilan entered the delivery room, but there was no shout or cry in the delivery room, and the silence was a little scary.

Kangxi was very worried, and quickly called Fang Wan out of the delivery room. He frowned anxiously and asked: "How is Concubine Xi doing now? Could it be that she fainted from the pain? Why is there no sound at all?"
