Furong, who had followed to see what happened next, cursed the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Noble Consort, and Emperor Kangxi a hundred times over. Such a serious matter, and they just let the murderer go so easily. She felt sorry for her master.

After Furong and the others left, she told Wanyi everything that had happened in the palace.

"Empress Dowager?" Wanyi wondered. What connection did the Empress Dowager have with Consort Sun? Why did she suddenly appear in Yongshou Palace and plead for Consort Sun at every turn?

"Yes, this servant is puzzled. The Empress Dowager has always been on good terms with you, so why is she now..." turning around and opposing you at every turn!

"Perhaps they've sown discord, but I wonder what caused the Empress Dowager to dislike me!" If they're truly an eyesore, then I'll just get rid of them. With so many powerful backers, can't I kill them? If only Yinzhen weren't still so young…

Wanyi suppressed the urge to act, thinking of the increasingly brazen Consort Sun, and decided to make her the first target! Wanyi overthought things, and her head began to throb, making her feel quite uncomfortable.

"What's wrong, my lady? Is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll go and call the imperial physician right away." Furong said, and was about to walk out, but Wanyi pulled her back.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about some things and my head is a little throbbing. Just give me a massage, don't make a fuss!" She had just seen Kangxi off and didn't want to come back again.

"My lady, don't overthink it. Overthinking is the worst thing you can do during pregnancy!"

Furong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if her words caused problems for her master, it would be her fault.

"Mmm!" Wanyi was so comfortable under Furong's massage that she only answered with one word before slowly falling asleep again.

"Ha! Heaven blesses me! Although I've been demoted and confined, I'm pregnant!" This is a precious dragon fetus, my mother's good son. I never thought that in the end, it would be my own child who would save me.

"Your Highness need not be angry. You are pregnant with the Emperor's child, and the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort have all sent gifts, which shows that they are concerned about your pregnancy. Besides, this confinement is also a form of protection. By then, you will be four months pregnant and the pregnancy will be stable, so you will not be afraid of them!"

Muzhi was also happy. Her mistress was pregnant, and once she gave birth to a prince, the status of them, the servants, would rise accordingly. At that time, some unfavored concubines would not live as well as these favored concubines with children!

"You're right. Let's put personal grudges aside for now and focus on getting the baby healthy. The outcome is still uncertain! Consort Chen, we have plenty of time. Just you wait!"

When Consort Sun thought of Wanyi's false accusation in Yimei Courtyard, she couldn't calm down. In fact, she was also affected by her pregnancy. Otherwise, how could such a shrewd and careful person suddenly lose her temper and come up with such a bad idea?

"This isn't right!" Consort Bu's heart tightened. Her second princess was the same age as the fourth prince, but now the Imperial Noble Consort wanted her to deal with a mentally challenged child. How could she possibly do that?

"What's wrong with it? Think about it these next few days! Duanjing can be taken to the main hall to get closer to her foster mother!"

The Imperial Noble Consort said expressionlessly, "Wanting to have a powerful backer while doing nothing at all? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"Your Highness, may the Second Princess stay by my side?" Consort Bu asked boldly for the sake of her daughter.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I, her foster mother, will treat her badly?" Originally, the Imperial Noble Consort was just making a token gesture, but she didn't expect Consort Bu to react so strongly, as if she knew her lifeline.

"This concubine wouldn't dare!" Consort Bu now wished she were dead. She was so proud when she hooked up with the Imperial Noble Consort, and now she regretted it so much.

"It's best if you don't dare. Let's carry Duanjing to the side hall in a moment!"

She didn't want things to go her way. The princess was right there at her feet, and she was supposed to be grateful for the favor she had received. Instead, she had only made the princess more demanding.

"Yes, Your Highness, I shall take my leave now!" She needed to think it over carefully and then have a proper talk with her daughter.

"Your Highness, it seems that Consort Bu is quite fond of Princess Duanjing. Bringing her here might cause Consort Bu to develop rebellious thoughts!"

Ning Dong said worriedly, putting herself in the other person's shoes, she would definitely go to the Emperor or the Imperial Concubine to cooperate in rescuing herself and the princess, even if life would be difficult in the future.

"She's just a lowly noblewoman, where does she get the guts? I just wanted to give her a little warning. If she wants to see Duan Jing, let her go! As for taking her back, we'll see how she behaves once she makes her move!" Is it really necessary to be so nervous about a mere maid? In my opinion, the prince is more important.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after Princess Duanjing is brought here, would you like to take a look at her?" Does this mean she wants to come over and pay her respects?

"No need, just let the wet nurse take good care of her!" Don't waste her time, she's just a princess!

"Yes!" Ning Dong frowned, bowed, and withdrew. She disapproved of her master's actions but did not want to dissuade him further.

"Your Highness, everything is packed!" As soon as Consort Bu returned to the side hall, she told Caixia to pack the princess's things, while she herself quietly held the three-year-old Duanjing in her arms.

"Okay!" Consort Bu's voice was a little choked, but she was reluctant to let go of his hand.

"Mother, what's wrong? Is Mother going there?" Three-year-old Princess Duanjing was well-educated by Consort Bu and was very sensible.

"Jing'er, Mother is fine. Just be good when you're with the Empress Dowager, and don't throw a tantrum. Mother will come to see you every day, okay?"

Consort Bu embraced Duanjing, not wanting her to see her tears. Duanjing had never left Consort Bu's side since childhood. "Consort Bu, how can I not feel sorry for you?"

"Mother, are you abandoning Duanjing?" Duanjing seemed to realize something and suddenly struggled to get up, looking pitiful, which made Bu Guiren's heart ache again.

"How could that be? It's just that Her Majesty misses you and wants our Duanjing to go and have some fun. You should take good care of Her Majesty on behalf of your mother, okay?"

Although Consort Bu was reluctant to let her go, she lied to Duan Jing so that Duan Jing could have a better life, but in her heart she was also thinking about bringing her back as soon as possible.

"Alright then! As long as Mother doesn't abandon Duanjing, that's fine!" Little Duanjing only wants to be with her mother. Those concubines who stole Father Emperor are all bad people.

"Good girl, Duanjing!" Consort Bu sang a lullaby that Duanjing liked, and then reluctantly let Duanjing leave after being persuaded three times by the wet nurse.

"How is it? Am I alright?" Wanyi looked expectantly at Physician Lu, who was taking her pulse. Kangxi was also sitting on the couch next to her, looking on with a nervous expression.

"The Imperial Concubine's pregnancy is stable and she is fine. She can get out of bed and walk around a bit, but she cannot go far to avoid disturbing the pregnancy!" Physician Lu said with a smile.
