Chapter 497 Paper Tiger
Chapter 497 Paper Tiger
"Your Majesty, so, you want me to give up this child?"
Kangxi was silent, and Chengrui and Saiyinchahun also lowered their heads.
They don't want to hurt their younger brother or sister, but they don't want to lose their mother even more. People are always partial.
"Your Majesty, please let the two children go out. I have something to tell you."
Kangxi was already stressed by the word "concubine", and in this situation, he couldn't bear to hear this. "You, you should rest first. It may not really come to this. The Imperial Hospital will always find a way."
The Imperial Hospital, which was entrusted with an important task: I don’t have it, I can’t do it!
"Long live the Lord!"
Ji Nai was so excited that her body began to tremble. Seeing that she insisted, Kangxi had no choice but to let Chengrui and Saiyinchahun go out, leaving him alone to face the coming storm.
"Your Majesty wants me to give up on him?"
Unable to escape any further, Kangxi had no choice but to face Ji Nai's problem. He said, "I don't want to give up on him, and I want to do my best to keep him, but if the price is your life, I would rather not have him."
Kangxi closed his eyes in pain.
Ji Nai sneered, "Just for me?"
Kangxi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ji Nai in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that. The past is still vivid in my mind. Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I haven't noticed your suspicion at all.
But this is not surprising. You are the emperor, and most of your male heirs are my children. Especially since Saiyin Chahun is close to Shoukang Palace, it is inevitable that you will be suspicious. "
"I did make a mistake in that matter, and I regret it, but... at that time, you weren't pregnant with Xiaowu yet, so I never could have imagined..."
Kangxi explained in a panic, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, "...You suspect it was me who did it?"
Ji Nai was stung by the hurt in Kangxi's eyes, looked away, and said, "You have a criminal record."
"But how can these two be the same!" Kangxi's suddenly raised voice startled the people outside the house.
"Ama?"
"Everyone, get away from me! Liang Jiugong! Guard the door and don't let anyone get close!"
Anyone here naturally included Chengrui and Saiyinchahun. The two of them didn't understand. They were clearly trying to persuade their mother to take care of herself. They were all prepared to face their mother crying, but why did their father break down?
Could it be that my mother would rather give up her own life to save this child?
When Chengrui and Saiyinchahun were driven to the side hall, their faces looked very ugly.
"Ma Jiajinai! How can these two things be the same? How can you doubt me like this?"
"Your Majesty, I dare say that you have never doubted me, and never worried about the Zhongcui Palace's excessive power?"
"If I were worried, I wouldn't have repeatedly given you power over the palace!"
"That's because this is just the harem! You are the emperor, holding great power. Naturally, you don't take this little power seriously. You only care about the previous dynasty!"
Seeing Kangxi fall silent, Ji Nai knew he was right, and tears could not stop falling. "You are worried that there are too many princes in Zhongcui Palace, and when they grow up, they will become a considerable force, and even threaten you."
"The Empress Dowager has both the Qing Dynasty and Khorchin in her heart. Now that the Qing Dynasty is stable, she will naturally make plans for her mother's family. I... must be on guard."
"So, you're going to kill my child!"
“I don’t have any!
Ma Jiajinai, I was indeed worried about the alliance between Zhongcui Palace and Cining Palace. By then, I am afraid that I, the emperor, would not even be able to guarantee my own safety.
But how could I possibly kill our child?"
"But isn't the incense for avoiding children your work?"
"Yes, but you weren't pregnant at that time. I just didn't want you to get pregnant again. But if you really were pregnant, how could I bear to hurt him!"
"Tong Jia has only been in the palace for a few days, and hasn't even taken the position of concubine yet, yet she dares to say such things. How dare you say that you don't have your backing behind this!"
Kangxi felt as if his heart was torn in two. "No wonder a single word from Tong Jia could cause you to collapse so much and nearly cause a miscarriage. You're not afraid of her at all, you're afraid of me."
Kangxi stepped forward, pinched Ji Nai's chin, and said coldly: "All the kindness I have shown you over the years has been eaten by dogs."
"At first, Huipin also thought that you were sincere to her, but what happened? Even if you hated Hesheli, in your heart, concubines and heirs could not compare to her.
Even though Chengrui was poisoned, even though Chengqing died young, you... still couldn't make up your mind to deal with Hesheli."
"I had no intention of letting her go." "But you wavered! Because of Chenghu. You even allowed her to give birth to another prince for you."
"So, you've been bothered by this all along."
“How could I not mind?
You promised me that you would help Chengrui get revenge. Do you know how I felt when I received the news?
One voice told me to trust you, but another voice said that I had to avenge Chengrui on my own."
"I did not break my promise. Hesheli is dead."
"But how did she die?
If Hesheli had not died of postpartum hemorrhage, would you think of Chenghu when looking at Yinreng?
Do you want to spare her life? At worst, you can take away her honor and imprison her until death."
"I won't."
"Of course you wouldn't, Prince. How could a crown prince have a mother like that?
But the decision made after weighing the pros and cons doesn't mean you don't have a soft heart towards her."
Kangxi did not refute, because he knew that what Ji Nai said was not a hypothesis, but something that really happened. He had indeed wavered because of Chenghu, but even for the sake of Ji Nai and Chengrui, mother and son, he soon made up his mind.
"Your Majesty, Huipin killed your child, so you no longer have any closeness to her. Hesheli did even more evil than Huipin, but why did you still let her give birth to Yinreng?"
Ji Nai did not give Kangxi a chance to explain and answered himself: "To check and balance, right?"
Kangxi let go of Ji Nai and sat down weakly, holding on to the bedpost. He looked at Ji Nai, as if he had never known the person in front of him.
Kangxi sat quietly, thinking about the past, his heart sank. Perhaps he thought too well, and what he thought was a clear sky after the rain was just an illusion, but in fact, Ji Nai had never forgiven him.
Whether it was Chengrui’s poisoning or the incident with the contraceptive incense.
However, that dream left a deep impression on Ji Nai's heart. She firmly believed that they would have six children, so even if it was just for the unborn children, Ji Nai had to compromise and continue to please him.
How ridiculous! He, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, the supreme ruler, actually became a tool for giving birth to children.
What's even more ridiculous is that after realizing this, Kangxi found that he still didn't feel much anger. He was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he was deceived by a woman. Shouldn't he be angry?
He should have told the person in front of him, "You are just one of the many women in my harem. You are no different from the others, and you are not irreplaceable."
She had only been with me for a few more years, and her appearance was better than others, yet she dared to take advantage of the emperor's favor and humiliate him!
Didn't she know that even if she gave birth to many royal heirs, as long as he, the emperor, didn't care about them, even the sons of dragons and phoenixes would be no different from common people?
This is putting the cart before the horse and is so stupid!
Even though he had some feelings for her, he could not tolerate her being so presumptuous. She must be severely punished!
He wanted to strip her of her title, demote her rank, and take away her beloved children one by one, leaving her trapped to death in the Zhongcui Palace, which was no different from a cold palace.
"You hate me, but you are still gentle and considerate to me, just to get pregnant with Xiaoliu?" Kangxi should have done so, but he was still unwilling to accept it. He wanted to seek justice for himself.
Ji Nai didn't say anything and turned her head away. It was not intentional, but her physical weakness made her heart disease worse. She could feel the pain in her heart with every breath.
"I am the Son of Heaven. With just one word, I can destroy the child you tried so hard to conceive!" Kangxi said gritting his teeth.
Ji Nai was shocked. Could it be that he had made Kangxi so angry that he completely disregarded their old friendship?
Ji Nai turned his head and saw Kangxi staring at him with red eyes. Ji Nai began to feel heartbroken again, but this time it was not because of heart disease.
The two have been together for many years, and Ji Nai naturally knows that although the current Kangxi looks terrifying, he is actually just a paper tiger that will burst with a single poke.
If Kangxi really turned against him, he would not have wasted his time talking to him and would have arranged for someone to bring the abortion pills.
