These past few days, Consort Jin's health has been deteriorating. The Fourteenth Prince, being a dutiful son, has been frequently visiting Chengqian Palace to serve her medicine.
After giving birth to the Fourteenth Prince, Lady Uya never had another child. Taking advantage of Consort Jin's declining health over the past two years, she secretly made contact with the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince always thought he was the child of the Imperial Concubine, but now he never expected that he was the child of a Noble Lady.
Putting aside how difficult it was to accept, Consort Jin also doted on him immensely.
So the mother and son got along very well. But then a woman suddenly jumped out and said, "I am your biological mother." You can imagine how big of a blow that was.
Yinzhen was deeply saddened upon learning this, but he was already grown up. Furthermore, his mother was seriously ill at the time, and he couldn't very well ask her if it was true.
Although Yinzhen served the Consort her medicine as usual, the mother and son got along well, and the Consort naturally noticed that something was wrong with Yinzhen.
Consort Jin spoke weakly, "Fourteenth Prince, is something troubling you? Why do you look so frowning?"
Yinzhen was taken aback when he heard this, apparently still unable to control his expression. "Mother, you're overthinking it. I'm just worried about your illness."
"They're all quacks; they've been treating me for so long and still haven't cured me."
Consort Jin accepted this well, saying, "I know my mother's health is not good, but I'm worried about you."
In fact, Consort Tong lived a few more years, because she did not give birth to the Eighth Princess and her health was not damaged, but she still could not escape the fate of dying young.
Yinzhen felt complicated when he heard his mother's words. Even now, his mother was still worried about him.
"Mother, what are you saying? Will you wait until you get better? And will you watch over your son?" Yinzhen asked with some difficulty. In fact, he also had a vague feeling that his mother was probably not going to get better.
Consort Jin looked at the child she had raised from a young age and said, "You still haven't told your mother the truth?"
Yinzhen was a little confused. "Mother, what are you saying? I don't understand?"
Consort Jin smiled weakly, "Is Mother saying that you didn't tell Mother the truth when you first came? Why are you unhappy?"
Yinzhen was now in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he should ask the question or not. On one side was his mother, whom he had been doted on since childhood.
On the other hand, it is highly likely that this is not his biological mother. The fact that Consort Wuya dared to say that to him shows that she is not afraid of being exposed. Therefore, it is highly likely that he is not his mother's biological child.
Yinzhen still had a conscience; even though he thought that way, Tong Eniang was still the most important person to him.
Yinzhen finally spoke up, "It's nothing serious. It's just that today, one of Father's noblemen stopped me and said that I am his biological child. But I don't believe it. Mother has loved me so much since I was little. How could she not be my biological mother?"
Consort Jin immediately understood Consort Wuya's plan; she was looking for a way out for herself since she was no longer capable of handling things.
But she didn't consider that she was just a concubine, how could she possibly raise a prince? Moreover, since that incident, Emperor Kangxi had clearly stipulated that concubines of bondservant origin could not raise children, but they could raise princesses.
Even if she were a Noble Lady now, or even a Consort, she wouldn't be able to raise a prince.
