"Mother..." At this moment, a few murmured calls suddenly came from inside the bed curtains.
Consort De was overjoyed. "Mother is here!" she exclaimed, taking a step forward. Just as she was about to respond, she was delighted that the Fourth Prince had come to her rescue. She thought to herself that the two of them were indeed of one mind as mother and son!
Liang Jiugong took a step forward and blocked her way. He did so quickly and calmly, standing slightly in front of Consort De. He was neither forceful nor did he back down.
She frowned deeply, "Your Majesty..." She glared fiercely at Liang Jiugong.
"Consort De, don't worry, Yinzhen isn't calling you..." Emperor Kangxi explained. Even though Yinzhen wasn't fully conscious, Emperor Kangxi knew in his heart that the person he was calling for was definitely not Consort De, his biological mother. The two of them had only spent a few days together, after all.
Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi suddenly sighed. The two people in the room had no emotional foundation at all, and Consort De had done such a thing before... Would it be too irresponsible and inappropriate for him to send Yinzhen back to Consort De's side directly?
Yinzhen really didn't mean to embarrass Consort De. Although he did set a trap to get Consort De in, he was genuinely ill, which was something he couldn't break.
Emperor Kangxi was as astute as he was, and he wasn't blind. How could he not see that the illness was feigned? Moreover, apart from a very few, all the imperial physicians were Emperor Kangxi's men, so it was impossible to hide anything from them.
So he is indeed just talking nonsense right now. Of course, the "mother" he is calling out is Empress Tongjia, not Consort De.
After hearing Emperor Kangxi's heartless words, Consort De's expression quickly cracked. Why did even the Emperor have to embarrass her like this?
Since she was Yinzhen's biological mother, Yinzhen could only refer to her, not anyone else!
As for that woman who died long ago, who would remember her? After all, she left first.
Why would someone who's dead want to fight with her?
The person is already dead, so why is their spirit still haunting them?
She may not understand that there is a saying that the living can never compete with the dead. That is because although the person is gone, they have left behind the deepest and most beautiful memories, which no matter how hard anyone tries afterward, they can never compete with!
At this moment, Consort De's gentle demeanor could no longer be maintained. She lowered her head in a daze, looking pitiful. However, Emperor Kangxi would no longer be fooled by her appearance. He used to think that women were weak and that even if they had some ulterior motives or other thoughts, he, as the emperor, could control them.
However, because of his indulgence, Yinzhen has ended up in this state, and Emperor Kangxi still feels somewhat distressed and guilty.
"I already know about the things you sent to Yinzhen. There's no need to put on this act anymore!" Emperor Kangxi said coldly.
Consort De was Yinzhen's biological mother, and with so many eyes watching both inside and outside the palace, this was an inescapable fact.
However, this does not mean that Yinzhen would let Consort De control him, and that she did not respect him as the emperor.
Since Consort De is so selfish, then let's find someone else for Yinzhen!
With so many women in the house, surely one of them is willing to treat Yinzhen sincerely and take good care of him?
Consort De slid down, unaware of what the Emperor knew. She pursed her lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unsure where to begin, fearing the Emperor was trying to trick her.
I'll tell everyone about those things later.
But while Consort De was still pondering what she should tell him, Emperor Kangxi was already very disappointed in her. He gave the imperial physician a few simple instructions and then left, leaving Consort De sitting there dejectedly.
She came to deliver chicken soup, but she never saw Yinzhen's face from beginning to end, and was even advised by the people around her not to get close to Yinzhen.
Separated only by a thin bed curtain, Consort De could see Yinzhen lying there, yet she felt a growing distance between them, as if she would never be able to touch him in this lifetime…
That's impossible! This is a child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. Although I didn't raise him/her personally, the blood ties between us can never be severed!
Yinzhen was sick for a whole week before he slowly recovered... He underestimated Consort De's ruthlessness; she had only slightly increased the dosage, and he was in this state now.
Actually, based on the dosage Consort De prescribed for herself, it wouldn't be too different; she would at least need to lie down for three to five days...
Consort De was placed under house arrest.
The whole story was told to Jingrou by her aunt. However, her aunt was unwilling to tell her everything. It was only after she found out about it and pestered Yinreng that Yinreng finally understood the situation. Jingrou had learned that if she kept bothering Yinreng for a while, he would eventually be unable to tell her everything. This was a trick that Jingrou had mastered over the years!
"As expected, it's all about having a strong belly. Even if she makes too many mistakes, the Emperor will still protect her on the surface..." When she said this, her tone was a little sour. Just because the Fourth Prince was born to Consort De, if the Fourth Prince didn't have any major stains that would affect his future, Consort De couldn't afford to have anything happen to her. At most, she would just quietly die in the palace.
However, since she has more than one child, the Fourth Prince, but also Princess Mingyue, she cannot die of illness. Princess Mingyue is already so old and sensible, so she can only be given a minor punishment. However, if the Fourth Prince's imperial genealogy can be changed so that it is not recorded under Consort De's name, that would be the greatest punishment for Consort De.
If you're asking who would be willing to take her in, there are plenty of women in the palace! Take her for example, if it were just to cause trouble for Consort De, Consort Yi would be willing to acknowledge Yinzhen as her son.
However, since she already has the Fifth Prince and is pregnant with another child, the Emperor will most likely not allow it.
