Kangxi had just learned about this matter and was about to ask Liang Jiugong to investigate what was going on when he saw Concubine Yi and Tong Jia coming together.

After explaining the reason, Tong Jia knelt on the ground and could not get up.

"Your Majesty, only the Seventh and Eighth Princes were playing together at the time. When the Eighth Prince suddenly fell into the water, it's hard not to think that it was the Seventh Prince who pushed him. I don't think that the Seventh Prince framed his brother at such a young age. I just think that children should admit their mistakes. However, Concubine Yi thinks that I am making things difficult for the Seventh Prince and has come to Chengqian Palace to question him."

Concubine Yi was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she held herself back.

Then she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have already questioned the Seventh Prince, his attendants, and his wet nurse in detail in Yikun Palace. I have confirmed that it was the Eighth Prince who fell into the water and not the Seventh Prince who pushed him. That is why I brought a bunch of nourishing supplements to Chengqian Palace."

"Firstly, I was very worried when I heard that the Eighth Prince fell into the water. Secondly, I wanted to teach Concubine Tong that we are all concubines in the harem, and there is no reason to punish other concubines. I can understand that Concubine Tong is worried about the Eighth Prince, but I cannot hit Dai Jiashi."

Kangxi frowned and looked at Tong Jia.

"Did you hit anyone?"

Tong Jia was very unconvinced, but she suppressed her temper. She took a deep breath and said, "When I arrived at the scene, I saw the Eighth Prince soaking wet and unconscious. I panicked and hit Dai Jia, who kept trying to defend herself. Now, after hearing what Concubine Yi said, I realize that I was wrong. I will apologize to Dai Jia later."

Kangxi was somewhat surprised by Tong Jia's change of attitude.

Given her personality, few of the women in the harem could catch her eye, especially a small concubine, so she would just beat her.

Now that he still thought of apologizing, even if he didn't say it sincerely, it really made him look at him differently.

"What's going on with Xiaoba now?"

When Tong Jia saw that Kangxi no longer mentioned the beating, she knew that her submission was still useful.

"The Eighth Prince is still in a coma. The imperial physician said that he is weak and may recover more slowly."

Kangxi stood up and said, "I will go back with you to see Xiao Ba."

After saying this, he looked at Concubine Yi again and then instructed Liang Jiugong, "Liang Jiugong, pass on my decree. Dai Jiashi is promoted to Noble Lady. The title is granted."

Seeing this, Concubine Yi could no longer hold back. "I, your concubine, would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of Noble Cheng."

Kangxi nodded and said, "I will go to visit Xiaoqi tomorrow."

After saying that, he followed Tong Jia to Chengqian Palace.

Kangxi didn't expect that Xiao Ba would recuperate in the main hall, and was a little surprised when he was brought into the inner hall.

"I thought the Wei family's side hall was too small, and I was worried that the palace servants wouldn't be able to provide adequate service, so I let the child recuperate here first, and then send him back when he's better."

Kangxi was very pleased with Tong Jia's motherly heart, but then he thought of the conspiracy between Tong Guowei and her, and he felt uncomfortable instantly.

Is she really just being nice to Xiao Ba out of a mother's heart, or is she trying to use this child to seize power?

"It's better for a sick child to be raised by his mother. We can send him to Wei later."

After saying this, he went to sit down in the main hall. After two cups of tea, he looked at Tong Jia and said, "I know that with the prestige and power of the Tong family, it is naturally unacceptable for you to be a mere concubine. But I believe you still remember how you fell from the position of Imperial Concubine."

"I only want to say that if you can live a peaceful and obedient life in the harem, I don't mind raising you back to your position in the future. If you're thinking of using Xiao Ba to do something, I advise you to give up on this idea. Bao Cheng is a child I personally raised, and no matter what happens in the future, it will not shake his position as Crown Prince."

Tong Jia felt a chill in her heart.

She looked at Kangxi, her voice trembling, "Does the Emperor trust the Crown Prince so much?"

Kangxi stood up and walked out. "Baocheng and I are indeed the chosen father and son. I trust Baocheng, and Baocheng also trusts me."

Looking at Kangxi's departing back, Tong Jia bit her lower lip tightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Shushu could only whisper, "Your Majesty, don't mind it. People say things, but how things are done is uncertain. The emperor said this now, but it doesn't mean he will think the same in ten years."

Tong Jia looked at Shu Shu for a long moment, then closed her eyes and said, "Send the Eighth Prince to Wei's place, and teach the palace maids there a lesson. Make sure they serve him well. Also, send over those nourishing things that Concubine Yi brought."

Shushu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tong Jia was no longer in a bad mood.

After receiving the order, he sent the child and supplements to Wei.

Under the corridor, Uya couldn't help sneering at the scene.

She heard every word of the conversation between Kangxi and Tong Jia.

It seems that Kangxi knew all about Tonggiya's little thoughts.

It was not until Shushu came out of Wei's bedroom that Wuya walked in, swinging her handkerchief.

"Sister, how is Eighth Prince?"

Wu Yashi put on a worried look as she entered the room. "I just saw Shushu send the Eighth Prince back, so I dared to come and take a look. If the prince is still recuperating in the main hall, I would never dare to go there."

Wei knew about the discord between Uya and Tonggiya, so she naturally believed what they said.

"The Eighth Prince has regained consciousness, but the Imperial Physician said he is weak and needs to recuperate."

Wei's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying for a long time.

Seeing this, Wu Yashi also tried to persuade her, "Sister, please forgive me for saying something unpleasant. The child is obviously yours, and the emperor didn't give him to Concubine Tong to raise. Why do you have to look up to Concubine Tong for taking care of your own child?"

Wei said nothing, her eyes turning red again.

Wu Ya sighed, "My relationship with Concubine Tong is not good. If these words fall into your ears, it will inevitably be suspected of sowing discord. But you should also think carefully about it. After all, you gave birth to a prince. Don't act like you are being controlled by others."

"Given the status that Concubine Tong holds in the Emperor's heart, if she really dares to use the child to control you, as long as you come before the Emperor and beg him, he will definitely make the decision for you."

Wei hastily waved her hands, "Madam Tong has been very kind to me and the Eighth Prince, and it's not like she's using the child to control me. Naturally, I don't want to say anything to the Emperor."

Wu Ya's eyes flickered, and after taking a sip of tea, she continued, "Let's not talk about Concubine Tong, don't you, as a mother, want to fight for a way out for your son?"

Wei suddenly looked at Uya and waved her hands in fear.

"Sister, please don't say that. I absolutely don't have such thoughts. I just want Eighth Prince to grow up healthily."

Wu Ya clapped her hands and said, "It's also my fault for not explaining myself clearly. What I meant was that although they are both princes and will become princes in the future, a capable prince and an unfavored prince are treated differently. Of course, there is only one person for that position, but don't you want the Eighth Prince to be a prince in the future?"
