Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 100

With the support of many important ministers in the court, Kangxi finally decreed to withdraw the vassal.

Not long after the imperial decree came out, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, tore his face. First, he killed Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, and claimed that "everyone in the world recruits the generals of soldiers and horses", and proposed "Xingming to ask captives", and then pretended to support "the first The third prince of the emperor", pointing the spearhead at the Qing court.

Wu Sangui's army marched from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to Hunan, and soon almost occupied the entire Hunan province.When he marched into Sichuan, Sichuan officials surrendered one after another.Not only is his army powerful, but there are vassal kings or generals in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanxi, Hubei, Henan and other places to respond to Wu Sangui.

The situation in the south is critical, and Emperor Kangxi once again proposed a personal conquest by the imperial driver. Suo'etu and Tuhai knelt on the ground and forced each other to die, but they still couldn't stop the young emperor.

But even though it was a personal conquest by the royal driver, the emperor would not rush to the front line to kill the enemy.The Qing court has increased its troops in Liangjiang, and the emperor only needs to command the battle from a distance.

Because of this war, the emperor has not entered the harem for many days.On this day, he stepped into the concubine's bedroom for the first time after withdrawing from the domain, but he did not go to the Kunning Palace where the empress was, but stepped into the gate of Chengqian Palace.

The noble man is happy.In order to make the emperor happy, the imperial physician concluded that Wu Ya's womb was a boy.

Xuanye was so happy that he stayed in the noble man's house that night.

When Rong Huang heard the news, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.Should it come or will it come?Is the fourth elder brother destined to be the son of Concubine De?This child of hers shouldn't have existed in history?

But if that's the case, why did she get pregnant half a year earlier than Wu Yashi?
When Rong Huang was in a state of confusion, the newly appointed young eunuch at the gate of Kunning Palace yelled loudly, "Imperial Concubine Yi, please see the empress!"

Rong Huang settled down and asked someone to invite Mrs. Tong in.What surprised her was that Concubine Yi, who had always been calm about things, was in a panic at this moment.

"Sister Queen, no, it's not good!"

Rong Huang's heart sank, and he quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Jing Lin, calm down, what happened?"

Concubine Yi was so tangled up that her entire face was wrinkled together: "I...I really don't know how to speak! Please hold back, sister!"

Rong Huang winked at Jing Yi who was at the side, and Jing Yi obediently led the palace people down.Only then did Concubine Yi say: "Didn't the Emperor come to Chengqian Palace yesterday? This morning the nobleman came to me and said, the Emperor, he, he..."

"What happened to the emperor?" Rong Huang was also anxious.

"It's not the emperor what's wrong, it's you, sister." Concubine Yi raised her head abruptly, tears streaming down her face. "The emperor was happy last night and drank a few more glasses. When the nobleman said how about the fifth elder brother in her stomach, the emperor suddenly said no, it was the fourth elder brother. The nobleman asked the emperor, where is the empress's son?"

In fact, the period of pregnancy of the noble people is still young, the fetus has not yet formed, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.As for Rong Huang's fetus, several imperial physicians had been invited to see it, and all the imperial physicians agreed that it was a male fetus.

Rong Huang's heart skipped a few beats, and there was only one thought swirling in her mind - companion king is like companion tiger, this emperor is too scary, she can't figure out his thoughts at all!He keeps saying that he likes her, but what is he doing?Did he say that to the noble people because he didn't want their child?If she didn't want it, why did she look so happy when she was pregnant?Or did he just want a daughter who was not a threat to the crown prince, a daughter who looked like Rou Jia? !

Concubine Yi saw that the queen didn't speak, and thought she was frightened, so she slowed down and said: "The emperor spoke the truth after drinking, he said... If the empress really gave birth to a son, she will adopt him Clan upbringing is not counted in the ranking. If the empress refuses to obey, she will send the son of the noble man to Kunning Palace in the future, and let the empress take care of her..."

Rong Huang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.Smiling and laughing, shed tears all over her face.It turned out that she suggested that the emperor make Yinreng the crown prince, but couldn't Xuan Ye's wariness towards their mother and son be dispelled?

Seeing this, Tong was terrified, and began to regret his recklessness just now.She held Rong Huang's hand worriedly, and asked her over and over again: "Sister, are you okay? Sister? Sister?"

Rong Huang kept shaking her head, weeping, and finally said softly: "I'm fine, I'm very happy. Thank you His Majesty, he made a decision for me. I don't need to be sad or entangled anymore."

In fact, after Rong Ruo left that day, Rong Huang was still very conflicted when he was alone.In the past, she wanted to change Rong Ruo's fate without hesitation, so she agreed to go with Rong Ruo.But now that she has a child, the child of her and Xuan Ye, can she really escape from the palace with a heartbroken heart?
She wondered again and again whether she should break up with Rong Ruo.Just for the sake of the child, stay and be a magnanimous first wife, even if Kangxi just came out of another woman's body and ran over to press her, she endured it for the child.

But is it really good for the child to do that?Whenever she thinks of this, Rong Huang will fall into entanglement again.

If they don't get along with Rong Ruo and run away, then Rong Ruo is doomed to die young.But if she left and left the child here, the fourth elder brother could not escape the fate of not being loved by his biological mother.

But now... Kangxi said in person that Wu Ya's child is the fourth elder brother, and her child must be adopted because it will threaten the crown prince.She is the queen, and the queen's son is the legitimate son, with a noble status, who will he adopt the child to?Prince Ann?Prince Li?Maybe... for the childless Rou Jia?

No matter who she gave the child to, she was doomed to be no longer worthy of this child's mother and child in her life.Since it is impossible to escape this ending no matter what, why doesn't she make up her mind to stay away from Kangxi?If she is gone, there will be no possibility for the queen to seek the crown prince for her son.Kangxi misses her all the more since he can't be with her and turns to be nicer to their only child.

"Sister, sister...you, don't be like this..." Tong hugged Ronghuang helplessly. She didn't know what she could do to make Ronghuang feel better, but she knew that compared to the beautiful illusion, Ronghuang Definitely want to know the truth more.So she chose to tell Rong Huang the truth, and Tong did not regret it.She was just annoyed that she was too anxious just now, she should tell Rong Huang in a more relaxed way.

Rong Huang hugged Tong Jinglin with her backhand, the only good sister in the harem who was sincere to her, her heart was full of guilt and gratitude.She patted Tong's back tenderly, and said in a low voice: "Jinglin, I'm fine. Come on, let's sit down, sister has something to tell you."

Rong Huang let go of her hand and pulled Concubine Yi to sit down.Tong Shi still looked at her with a panicked expression.Tong's intuition told her that what Rong Huang would say next would change her life.

"My dear sister, to be honest, my baby is in an abnormal position, and I don't know if I can survive the delivery. If the adult and the child can only keep one, I have repeatedly asked the imperial physician to keep the emperor's heir. "

"Sister..." Concubine Yi's eyes were red, and she was about to refute, but Rong Huang shook her head to stop her.

"Listen to what I have to say." Rong Huang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Jinglin, you are unlucky, but you are also lucky. You were unfortunately trapped in the Forbidden City, but fortunately you kept yourself I have been in the palace for two years, and I have to be pampered for two years. From a concubine to a queen, I may be enviable to outsiders. But you have always been by my side, you should be the most clear, like this I don't like life. Not only do I have to guard against other people's calculations all day long, but in order to survive, I also have to plot others against my conscience."

Tong Shi kept nodding, choked up, unable to speak a word.

柔嘉
"If one day I'm really gone, I...I beg you, please, help me take care of this child." Rong Huang raised his hand and placed it on his protruding abdomen reluctantly.

This feeling is so poignant.Obviously the child is still in her body, but it is already destined to be separated.Obviously they haven't separated yet, but they have already begun to feel reluctant and nostalgic.

She thought about taking this child along with her, but the palace was strictly forbidden and there was chaos outside, so she might not even be able to get out alive, so why would she want to take this child with her?

She couldn't think about it anymore.If she tortured herself like this again, she would definitely collapse.

Rong Huang gritted her teeth, supported her stomach and wanted to kneel down to Concubine Yi, but was quickly stopped by Tong Shi: "Sister, what are you doing?!"

"Please……"

"Sister, you don't have to be like this!" Tong Shi said, shedding two more lines of tears, "I just promise my sister, if there is such a day, I will definitely try my best to protect this child and treat him well." Treat it as your own."

Rong Huang breathed a sigh of relief, Manchu paid great attention to the oath, she believed that Mrs. Tong would not lie to her.

"But sister, you have to promise me, don't let this day happen." Concubine Yi looked at her and said seriously: "Sister, do you know that I'm really scared to be alone in the palace. If it weren't for you, I would have been so scared." I can't go on...Once you are not by my side, what should I do...I am not as smart as my sister, and I can't deal with people like Hesheli and Majia, I, I am afraid."
