Reborn: The Kangxi Concubine

She is Shen Jiayi, the cherished daughter of a modern conglomerate, who is kidnapped and dies in a car accident, only to be reborn into the body of Suozhuolun Wanyi, a low-ranking concubine in the ...

Chapter 58 The Seventh Prince Wanfu Dies Young

"Yes." When Hongxiu and the others left, Sumalagu thought the tea at Wanyi's place was quite delicious and couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

"I wonder what the Empress Dowager's instructions are." The only one who could make Sumalagu stay here and be so cautious is Bumbutai.

"It's nothing. The Empress Dowager sent me to tell you to stay in your place and not to have any other thoughts. Otherwise, it won't just be your problem, but the whole Suo Zhuolun family's problem."

Bumbutai meant that if Wanyi dared to play any tricks, she would exterminate Wanyi's clan to appease her anger.

"This humble servant will certainly behave herself and do her best to tutor Sister Borjigit." Wanyi felt a rebellious thought, but in her current situation, she was not strong enough to contend with Bumbutai.

"That's good. I won't bother you any longer, Your Highness." Su Mala Gu stood up, nodded, and prepared to leave.

“Oh, Aunt Su Ma, as you can see, the head maids here are not clever or quick-witted. I wonder if Aunt Su Ma could put in a good word for me with the Empress Dowager and ask her to find a nanny to teach them the palace rules.”

Wanyi stopped Sumalagu. She did need a nanny. When she was entitled to the allowance of a Noble Lady, she could have an additional second-class palace maid and a errand eunuch. However, neither Consort Ma Jia nor Consort Yehenara had been given any additional servants, so Consort Zhao did not give Wanyi any additional servants either. If it were Emperor Kangxi or the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager could bestow one or two more servants.

"This servant will convey these words to you, my lady." After saying this, Su Ma La Gu left without looking back.

The bestowal of Yongshou Palace by the Empress Dowager caused quite a stir in the harem. People said that Consort Suo Zhuolun was lucky to have caught the Empress Dowager's eye.

"What's going on? I haven't been paying attention for only a month, how did she catch the Empress Dowager's eye!"

Consort Wuya frantically tugged at her handkerchief. After a month of treatment, the pus on her face had dried up and scabs had formed. During that month, she hadn't been able to control her temper and had smashed everything that needed to be smashed. Chuyao only had to fix it once. After Consort Wuya smashed it a second time, Chuyao put all the fragile items into the storeroom.

"My lady, let's heal our faces first. Let's put aside the matter of Consort Suo Zhuolun for now and think about the clan." Chu Yao didn't finish her sentence, but Consort Wuya stopped pulling at the handkerchief.

"They can forget about replacing me." Not long after being disfigured, Consort Wuya lost the support of her clan. She was originally supported by the entire clan and knew a lot about Kangxi's preferences. However, she was disfigured before she could carry out her plan. Her clan also asked her to find a way to get her younger sister into the emperor's bed. How could she possibly agree to that?

She only sent back the message that if anyone dared to send in a face, she would kill them; if two came, she would kill both. The clan was helpless, fearing that Uya would cause trouble, so they had to collect things to cure her face. Perhaps Uya still had some kind of aura, so her face healed quite quickly.

“My lady, don’t think about sending people in from the clan. We need to heal our injuries first before we can try to win the emperor’s favor. As for those concubines in the harem, once you are in a high position, killing them will be as easy as crushing an ant.”

Chu Yao had always been suppressed by Gu Cui and had no chance to stand out, otherwise Wu Ya Shi would not have ended up in this situation. Now she is Wu Ya Shi's head palace maid and has Wu Ya Shi's trust.

"I was possessed before. Have you found out who ruined my face?" She could stop paying attention to the Suo Zhuolun family, but she couldn't let go of the person who had ruined her like this.

"There's been no progress for now. By the time I sent people to investigate, all traces had been cleared. However, I have heard some rumors circulating privately." Chu Yao said, glancing at Consort Wuya's expression, afraid that she might get angry again.

"What news?" Consort Wuya was indeed angry, but she managed to hold it in well.

"They said that it was the young lady who plotted against Consort Zhang's unborn child, and that it was her revenge that ruined your face, making it difficult for you to survive in the harem."

The news had already spread far and wide when Consort Wuya was first disfigured, but Chu Yao suppressed it and prevented Consort Wuya from finding out.

"Consort Zhang, just you wait!" Chu Yao saw the enraged Consort Wuya and silently left the room, standing guard outside the door.

"Did she really say that?"

Bumbutai asked with some surprise. She did not expect that Consort Suozhuolun would request to be monitored. After all, whether it was her or the servants or nannies sent by Emperor Kangxi to serve the concubines, it was said that they were being taught and served, but it also involved monitoring.

"Yes, from what I observed, the palace maids around her did indeed seem rather dim-witted." Sumalagu did not hide anything and instead told the Empress Dowager everything about her conversation with Wanyi.

"The masters aren't very clever, they only have some petty tricks and schemes. Let's call Granny Kong over! If she wants to learn, teach her wholeheartedly, and I think Suo Zhuolun will undergo a complete transformation." She also wanted to know how far Suo Zhuolun could go.

"Yes, this servant will go right away." Su Ma La Gu was somewhat surprised. Granny Kong was one of the Empress Dowager's most capable assistants, and she never expected that she would be willing to send her to teach a mere concubine.

Bumbutai had considered sending two nannies to teach the Borjigit concubine, but the nannies sent to teach the Borjigit concubine never stayed for more than half a month before being sent back by the Borjigit concubine. So Bumbutai gave up on that idea. Now that she can listen to Suozhuolunshi's words, she will have someone teach Suozhuolunshi more, and then have Suozhuolunshi teach Guozhen.

"My lady, my lady, something terrible has happened!... Something terrible has occurred!" Lingzhi quickly shook the sleeping Concubine Ulanara awake.

"Hmm, what's going on in the middle of the night?" Consort Ulanara scolded, displeased that her sweet dreams had been disturbed.

"My lady, my brother, please go and see him quickly."

Lingzhi gasped for breath and said that there was no need to keep watch tonight. The Seventh Prince had a fever in the first half of the night, but that was normal, since it had happened a few times during his postpartum period. The prince sent someone to call her over to take a look, so she kept watch there. Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince developed a high fever in the second half of the night, and the imperial physician is still treating him. She rushed back to tell the young mistress.

"What's wrong with Wan Fu? Has something happened?" Upon hearing that it was her son, Consort Ulanara quickly got up, put on her cloak, and went outside.

On the way, Consort Ulanara told herself to hurry, hurry, and rushed to the prince's residence, only to hear a chorus of weeping inside.

"Wan Fu~" Consort Ulanara rushed into the room. On the bed, a small body lay motionless, her face pale. Consort Ulanara trembled as she touched Wan Fu's face and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

When Kangxi arrived at the Princes' Residence, he saw Ulanara heartbrokenly embracing Wan Fu's body, repeatedly calling out, "Wan Fu, wake up! I am your mother! Wake up and look at your mother!"
