Chapter 4 Overwhelming Hatred
Xiao Feng was indignant. "Bullshit! Master is clearly poisoned. He's a quack! Master, kill him!" Influenced by Fang Hua, Xiao Feng was ruthless towards outsiders.
Fanghua was somewhat surprised by Xiaofeng's attitude, but she liked it.
She remembered Doctor Wang.
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Fanghua, you are worried about the Emperor. I have advised you many times. You are pregnant now, and everything should be for the sake of the child. Why won't you listen to me?" The Empress Dowager stood up with a pained expression and came to the bedside.
"Your Majesty, what could be more important than the Empress's child? You should stop spending all your time in the court and spend more time with the Empress."
Kangxi was still young, and when he had just captured Oboi and was in the mood for reform, how could he have come to the Empress to "humble himself and act subservient"?
Go wherever you feel comfortable.
"Yes, grandson has remembered. It was grandson who neglected Fang'er. The Ghost Festival is coming soon, so I will stay with Fang'er for the next few days."
Emperor Kangxi had feelings for Hesheli Fanghua, and now that she was pregnant with his legitimate son, he naturally valued her.
"It's good that you know. Alright, have someone go and brew the medicine. Let Fanghua rest well first. I'll go out and keep watch over the Emperor."
How considerate those words sound! With the Empress Dowager and the Emperor watching over her, what a great honor! In the entire Qing Dynasty, perhaps only she possessed such prestige. But…
After they left, Fanghua opened her cold eyes and stared intently at the backs of the two departing figures.
She would not let go of either Chenghu, who had harmed her, or Yinreng, who had harmed him.
Outside, after dismissing her attendants, the Empress Dowager pulled Kangxi to sit in the main seat.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant with the eldest son. Nothing is more important than her. You should also focus on your studies. Although Ao Bai has been executed, the troubles he left behind are not insignificant. We must not be careless."
Now we still need to use the Hesheli family; we can't let them lose heart. Besides, Songgotu was one of the heroes who captured Ao Bai this time.
"Grandmother is absolutely right. It was my grandson who was being arrogant. I will keep a close eye on Fang'er every day, so please rest assured, Grandmother." Kangxi had been coerced since he was a child, and even if that person was his own grandmother, he still disliked her.
He cares about the Empress, but he doesn't like being forced to submit to her.
The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Empress Hesheli and Emperor Xuan Ye were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was one that no one else could match. However, as an emperor, Emperor Xuan Ye could not have such feelings.
Her son, Fulin, was troubled by love back then, and she would never allow another infatuated lover to emerge from the Aisin Gioro family.
Although she personally selected the empress, anyone who dared to obstruct her grandson's path to the throne should not blame her for being ruthless.
"It's good that you know. Take some time to go and check on the Niohuru clan. Although Aobai is dead and has deterred Ebilun, we still have to be on guard."
With Consort Niohuru around, she could probably share some of the Empress's favor, since the Emperor couldn't possibly favor only one person.
True feelings cannot exist either.
"Grandson will remember this. However, Grandmother, I also want to use Ebilun to eliminate the remnants left by Aobai. I want to appoint Ebilun as a first-class duke."
Emperor Kangxi was also a man of great talent. He was taught by the Empress Dowager from a young age, and in terms of strategy, he was in no way inferior to the Empress Dowager.
This move would not only reduce the power of the Niohuru clan, but also make Aobai's men oppose Ebilun, so that he could seize real power.
Since he was one of the regents, he couldn't eliminate him too obviously, so he could only use someone else to do the dirty work.
The Empress Dowager was very astute and immediately discerned Kangxi's scheme.
"The Emperor has assumed personal rule, and the affairs of the court are now in his own hands. I am old and it is time for me to enjoy my remaining years." She said to Kangxi with a satisfied smile.
This was also a way of telling Kangxi that she agreed with his approach.
"It is because my grandson is incompetent that I have caused my grandmother worry." Kangxi was very pleased. He was happy to see his grandmother relinquish power, but he also needed her help.
He was very pleased that his grandmother had done so.
"The Emperor has grown up, good, good, good, good! Alright, I'm a little tired. Go in and keep the Empress company. Everything should be done for the sake of the legitimate son."
The Empress Dowager left Kunning Palace.
But no one knows about her conversation with the emperor.
However, after the Empress Dowager left, Kangxi issued an order that was quite puzzling.
"The imperial physician Zhang is hereby summoned to protect the Empress's pregnancy."
Physician Zhang is very young, so young that it's hard to believe he has such good medical skills.
However, what outsiders don't know is that this Physician Zhang's medical skills are unparalleled, so good that he can bring people back from the dead.
This was a talent secretly cultivated by the late emperor. Emperor Kangxi had many talents like Physician Zhang.
Fanghua took a nap. Because there were outsiders around, she didn't dare to make any big movements, so she just slept.
Her body was asleep, but she had already entered Xiao Feng's physical space.
How did you know I was poisoned?
She was so curious. How could Xiao Feng, who was clearly in her mind, know about things in the outside world?
"Master, have you forgotten? When you were a spirit, Xiaofeng was always by your side." It was very resentful that its master didn't remember it.
Hearing it say those words again softened Fanghua's heart, and she became less wary of it.
"I don't remember." Fanghua smiled, then waved to the little phoenix flying in the sky, letting it land on her arm.
Xiao Feng was very happy; it seemed her owner was willing to accept her.
"It's alright, Master. If you don't remember, you don't remember. As long as you remember Xiaofeng in the future, that's fine." Xiaofeng was a carefree phoenix. Perhaps because of the contract, it had no sense of wariness towards Fanghua and was more attached to her.
"You," Fanghua said helplessly, looking at its appearance. "Can this spiritual spring cure the poison in my body? Can it help me repair Chenghu's body?" Fanghua asked worriedly, touching its protruding belly.
After all, in her previous life, her son Chenghu died from a cold due to poor health.
"Of course I can, but Master, aren't you going to kill that old woman who poisoned you?" Xiao Feng had great confidence in her own things, but she hated the person who poisoned her master.
Upon hearing this, Fanghua's eyes turned bloodshot again. "Don't worry, she can't escape."
In the eighth year of Kangxi's reign, that old woman could still live for a few more years, but unfortunately, it depended on whether she would allow it.
"That's good, Master. That person is very wicked. Her scent was very strange today. If you smell it for too long, it will hurt the little master."
Xiao Feng and Xiao Niao tilted their heads, their tone full of dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager.
"How so?" She didn't know that Xiao Feng had this ability. If she released it, wouldn't it be a great help in the future?
Xiao Feng then explained the effects of the fragrance on the Empress Dowager's body, which made Fang Hua's eyes widen in fury.
"How dare she? How dare she?" She knew a lot about that old poisonous woman when she was by Yinreng's side, but she never expected that she would start plotting against her now.
He originally thought that she was just using Niohuru's knife to hurt him, steal his favor, and sow discord between him and the emperor.
She knew that the Empress Dowager had been involved in Chenghu's death, but she never expected it would be through fragrance.
As expected, she was a winner in the harem of three dynasties; she was ruthless and vicious.
"Master, don't be angry. Xiaofeng's spiritual spring water can help you detoxify. After the little master is born, drinking it will make the little master strong and healthy."
Sensing her master's change in mood, Xiao Feng immediately spoke up to comfort him.
