Emperor Kangxi glanced at the swaddling clothes, and the imperial physician, knowing full well what was going on, said, "It's a fully formed female fetus."

Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong and said, "Let's find an auspicious burial site for him?"

Liang Jiugong said "Yes," and then gave a look to the little eunuch behind him. The little eunuch then took the swaddled baby over.

Kangxi looked at his cousin in his arms and said, "Cousin, don't worry, I will find a good burial place for the child so that she can be reborn into a better life."

In fact, when Consort Jin heard that it was a girl, although she was disappointed, she was also somewhat relieved.

Normally, the sex of the fetus can be determined around five or six months of pregnancy. A few days ago, the imperial physician who examined Lady Wuya felt it was a girl after taking her pulse. However, Consort Jin is taking this pregnancy very seriously, and she is still somewhat unsure whether it is a boy or a girl.

So they didn't tell Consort Jin, only saying that it would be possible to produce the result after six months.

Consort Jin was relieved to hear that the fetus was a girl because she wanted a son, and another reason was that Lady Tongjia needed a prince.

If she had given birth to a princess, she would have had no choice but to adopt her. Now that the princess is gone, she may have the option of adopting a prince in the future.

While somewhat disappointed, there was also a great deal of relief. But even so, the Fourth Prince could not be let off the hook, mainly because of the Imperial Noble Consort.

Consort Jin said, "Your Majesty, Consort Wuya was pushed into the position."

When Emperor Kangxi heard that Consort Wuya had gotten into trouble, he rushed over, but he did not know the cause or details of the incident.

Emperor Kangxi never expected that after such a long period of peace in the palace, someone would still dare to openly promote a pregnant concubine.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi immediately asked, "Who did this? How dare you!"

Consort Jin immediately seized the opportunity and complained, "The 14th Prince and the Fourth Prince were training their dogs in the Imperial Garden. Somehow they bumped into a crow, and the Fourth Prince's dog knocked down Consort Wuya, which is why Consort Wuya was..."

"Your Majesty, you must do justice for your concubine and Lady Wuya! It's one thing for the Fourth Prince to keep a dog, but for his dog to attack a pregnant woman!"

"If the Fourth Prince were to dislike someone in the future and order his dog to pounce on them, that would be..."

Emperor Kangxi was surprised to learn that his son was involved in this matter. He knew that his fourth son liked to keep dogs, and that the Imperial Noble Consort had given him a small dog on his birthday.

He liked it very much, but he had seen the dog before. It was usually very well-behaved, so why would it jump on people?

Kangxi's first reaction was that the Fourth Prince had been used, or that someone was using the dog to smear the Imperial Noble Consort.

Emperor Kangxi said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."

Kangxi wanted to first find out the cause and effect of the matter. "Liang Jiugong, go and investigate. Investigate the evil spirits in the palace. Have they been living too well these past few years, or have they become accustomed to peace and tranquility, that they dare to harm my child?"

Liang Jiugong replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will take men to investigate immediately."

When Consort Jin heard Kangxi's words, she understood that he believed someone was using the Fourth Prince.

That won't do. She has to pin this on the Fourth Prince, regardless of whether he did it or someone else was using him. The fact is, his dog knocked down the pregnant woman.

Consort Jin looked at Emperor Kangxi with tears in her eyes, calling him "cousin".

Although Emperor Kangxi had feelings for his cousin, he trusted the Imperial Noble Consort more.
