Inside Chengqian Palace, Tong Jia looked coldly at Uya, who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer, "You said you gave birth to two princes, so what? It's okay if you didn't get any. The Fourth Prince was plotted by you, and as his mother, you don't seem to be very anxious."
Wu Ya's heart was as calm as water.
The child has already been given away, so it has nothing to do with her anymore.
I always wanted to see the child before, but it was just a pretense to gain the emperor's sympathy.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated. Not only did she not get sympathy, but she got into trouble instead.
"Madam Tong, you're joking. The Fourth Prince has been handed over to the care of the Grand Empress Dowager. The Grand Empress Dowager and the Emperor will take care of the Fourth Prince's injuries. As a concubine, I cannot interfere."
Tong Jia sneered, "Oh, they were both given away, but how come Concubine Yi was able to become a concubine thanks to the Fifth Prince, while you gave away two sons and are still just a concubine? Is it because the Emperor thinks you are too cunning and can do things that he doesn't like you?"
Wu Ya clenched her fists, but had to say humbly, "Madam Tong, you are joking."
Tong Jia's face straightened, "I have no interest in joking with you. If you have the ability, give birth to another child."
Ever since Wei moved away, Tonggiya has focused all her attention on Uya.
She was furious that the prince she had just gotten was gone, and she became even angrier when she saw her former enemy. She wanted to find ways to bully her every day.
"Your Majesty is right. I am now in your palace. If I can give birth to a child, it will naturally become your greatest help."
Tongpin sneered, "You've plotted against me, you're really capable. Get out and kneel outside for an hour."
Wu Ya wanted to say something, but Shu Shu quickly asked her to leave.
What Uya said was not without reason. She had thought about the current situation in the harem and knew that if she wanted to advance to the next position, she had to have another child.
But relying on her own abilities, she was afraid that it would not be possible. If she could unite with the Tonggiya clan, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
However, the grievances between her and Tong Jia cannot be resolved with just a few words, but after leaving this seed, Tong Jia may one day come to her senses.
In the inner hall, Shushu looked at Tong Jia's face and asked cautiously, "Did your Majesty believe what Concubine Wuya said?"
Tong Jia stroked her nails and couldn't help but sneer. "Even if her trick works, I will only support a newcomer, not her. In other words, I can support any concubine, but definitely not her."
Shushu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that her queen would be fooled, mainly because Uya was very cunning. Although her queen was a little domineering, she was not as cunning as her.
"Then does your Majesty have anyone you want to support?"
Tong Jia pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "I think Wan Liuha from Changchun Palace is quite good."
Shushu thought for a moment, "There's no main queen in Changchun Palace. Noble Consort Jin and the two concubines there are not favored. They don't even see the emperor as often as the third princess."
Tong Jia smiled meaningfully, "Without someone to be their main queen, they will sooner or later be buried in the harem. If we can lend a hand to her, are we still afraid that she will not agree?"
"But...she belongs to Changchun Palace. If we want to transfer her to another palace, should we inform the Imperial Concubine or Concubine Hui?"
Tong Jia snorted in dissatisfaction.
The women who used to be under her feet are now all climbing over her head. It's really bad luck.
"I have made arrangements for this matter. I will ask her to come over when I have time. Remember to tell her to come in a low profile."
"yes."
For the next period of time, the harem experienced an unprecedented low pressure. Even the concubines felt the pressure when they paid their respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother on the first and fifteenth days of each month.
Only after returning to their respective palaces did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief or speak loudly.
"My Lady, who is the murderer behind this? Why can't we catch him?"
Ruixue was a little confused.
The two most powerful people in the palace joined forces to catch this person, but they still couldn't catch him. This person is hiding too deeply.
Concubine Hui quickly made a gesture to silence her and whispered, "Don't mention this matter."
Ruixue also lowered her voice, "This is our Yanxi Palace. It shouldn't be a problem if we just say a few words, right?"
Concubine Hui glared at her and asked, "How do you know there are no spies from the Grand Empress Dowager and the Emperor in our palace?"
Ruixue immediately widened her eyes, covered her mouth with her hands and did not dare to speak for a long time.
"You don't have to be so scared. We are upright and have no intention of harming anyone. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, it's not certain whether it exists or not. I'm just saying that."
She had never thought about this before, but the Fourth Prince was injured in the Cining Palace, and the person who caused it has not been caught yet. It is very likely that the person was originally from the Cining Palace.
Since other people's spies can hide in the Cining Palace and stir up trouble, why can't the emperor's spies hide in her palace?
"What is the eldest brother doing?"
Concubine Hui changed the subject.
Ruixue then said, "The eldest prince is taking a walk with the support of Li Zhong."
The imperial physician told him to walk as much as possible, otherwise his legs would become weaker and weaker.
Concubine Hui nodded and said, "Take good care of the eldest prince. It seems that this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet will not be very fancy."
Sure enough, the New Year's Eve palace banquet was hosted by the imperial concubine. Everyone at the banquet looked unhappy, and the atmosphere was much worse than in previous years. Everyone from top to bottom looked cautious.
Fortunately, in the first month of the year, the imperial concubine brought good news that she was pregnant.
Although the time was short, the pulse was very obvious, and the eyes of everyone in the harem instantly changed from looking for the murderer to staring at the imperial concubine.
In Chuxiu Palace, Hongmei and a group of palace maids knelt down to congratulate.
The imperial concubine smiled, ordered people to reward all the palace maids with three months' wages, and then asked them to leave.
"My Lady, you are finally pregnant."
Hongmei was extremely excited.
The imperial concubine waved her hand, and the servants in the palace withdrew. Then she suppressed her smile and ordered Hongmei, "Go and make a bowl of abortion medicine."
Hongmei was so shocked that she knelt down. "Your Majesty, you can't... you... I'm sure the news of your pregnancy has spread throughout the harem. If the Emperor knew..."
The imperial concubine pulled Hongmei up and said with a wry smile, "Of course I want to keep this child, but I'm not sure if the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager can keep him. Go and make the medicine. After you're done, bring him with me to the Qianqing Palace to find the Emperor."
After the imperial physician diagnosed the concubine's pregnancy, he reported the matter directly to Kangxi.
Kangxi waved his hand to signal the imperial physician to leave, and he himself remained silent with a sullen face for a long time.
The reason why he asked Niohuru to send someone into the palace was to balance the political situation, but Niohuru's family was powerful, and if she really gave birth to a prince, there was no guarantee that she would not have ambitions.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."
