Chapter 108 The Empress Wants to Sterilize the Emperor
Regardless of the Empress's attitude, she cannot afford to be rude to these two imperial physicians, otherwise she will only suffer the consequences.
In response, Yehenara treated the two women very gently, saying, "As long as they give birth to the child safely, I, the noble lady, will reward them handsomely."
The two imperial physicians thanked the emperor and stood up, saying, "Yes, thank you, Noble Lady De."
Fanghua's smile deepened as she saw that she was trying to use sweet dates to manipulate the two imperial physicians.
As expected, this person is quite cunning.
"Alright, I don't know why you agreed to the Emperor's request for me to protect your pregnancy, but I'll say it again: don't do anything reckless, or no one can save you."
Seeing that things were mostly arranged, Fanghua got up and prepared to leave.
No matter how much she talked to this kind of person, she wouldn't get a single truthful word. She didn't intend to waste any more time arguing with her. As long as she behaved, everything would be fine.
Disobedient, huh.
Fanghua hoped she wouldn't listen, after all, she wasn't really keen on giving birth to twins, which she considered an auspicious sign.
She has plenty of ways to protect herself, but whether Yehenara can survive is another matter.
As Fanghua had expected, after she left Jingyang Palace, Yehenara and Granny Ye also talked about the Empress's visit.
"Granny, do you think the Empress is willing to protect me?" She was uneasy, but she had no choice but to relinquish control.
If she were handed over to the Empress, she would have one less rival. But if something were to happen to the child in her womb, the Emperor would be the first to punish her.
Even if the emperor and empress have a deep affection for each other, can it be deeper than that of the royal offspring?
“Whether she likes it or not, the Empress cannot refuse the Emperor’s request,” said Granny Ye. “I suppose the Empress’s arrival today is also because she was waiting for your choice, Your Majesty.”
Yehenara asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?" Leaning back against the soft pillow, Yehenara's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Her Majesty the Empress is probably unwilling to protect this pregnancy, Your Highness. Whether it is a princess or a prince, twins are an auspicious sign. What do you think Her Majesty the Empress will do?" Granny Ye was a shrewd person who could see through people and things.
Unfortunately, she made a mistake this time: the Empress was certain that the baby was a princess before accepting the task. Otherwise, she would have had plenty of ways to refuse.
Even if it would damage her image in the Emperor's eyes, she would refuse.
After deliberation, Yehenara said, "If it were me, I would never agree to this." Yehenara was not stupid; she naturally understood the meaning behind Ye's words.
That's precisely why she had even more questions in her mind.
"Then what do you think the Empress is after? Her reputation? Her reputation is already very good. One more or one less won't make a difference. I don't think the Empress can't see through this."
Yehenara's suspicions were correct, but she overlooked one thing: Fanghua could see through all the women in the harem who were pregnant with children, and could tell at a glance whether the child was a boy or a girl.
With this powerful weapon, what wouldn't she dare to do?
Not to mention Yehenara, even Granny Ye couldn't understand it. "This old servant doesn't know either, but there's still a long time to go, so we should be more cautious." They would naturally use the imperial physicians invited by the Empress, but that didn't stop them from using their own.
As long as Imperial Physician Wen and Imperial Physician Hua prescribe the correct medicine, the imperial physicians they prepared will be useless.
If the two of them have problems, well, don't blame them for being ruthless.
Compared to the speculation and unease of the mistress and servant, Fanghua's heart finally died.
Kunning Palace.
When Fanghua returned, she threw a tantrum, scaring everyone serving her so much that they didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
It wasn't that I was afraid of being punished by the Empress, but rather that I was afraid of startling her.
After Fanghua calmed down, she cursed loudly in the direction of the Qianqing Palace. Fortunately, there were no outsiders serving in the room.
Otherwise, these words would definitely have reached Emperor Kangxi's ears.
"Hmph, she's got a big heart, actually daring to agree to this." She was really angry. She realized that Yehenara must be out of her mind.
"Your Highness," Qiaoling said worriedly as she poured tea for her. "Have a sip of tea to soothe yourself. Even if you're angry, you shouldn't let it get to you." She said these words in a flattering way.
Fanghua glared at her, annoyed. "I'm not angry enough to die yet, Qiaoling. Don't you think I brought this on myself?" Thinking about everything that had happened before, she felt regretful.
"Is that Yehenara clan member mentally ill?" She gets very angry whenever she thinks about it now.
Since things have come to this, no one can say anything more.
"Forget it, forget it, let her give birth, let her give birth. It's just an auspicious omen. Do you think I, an empress, am afraid of her auspicious omen?"
Hmph, what good fortune.
I hate it so much.
However, Fanghua hated Kangxi even more. After dismissing everyone, Fanghua called out to Xiaofeng.
Xiao Feng knew her master was angry as soon as she heard his voice.
It had sensed its master's fluctuations just now, and dared not return to its own space, so it could only fly higher and communicate with its mind.
I'm afraid I'll get beaten up if I go back.
"Master, your favorite Xiaofeng is here. What are your orders, Master?" Xiaofeng was incredibly obsequious.
Fanghua didn't think much of it. If she didn't see Xiaofeng, she didn't care. "Where did you run off to again?" Fanghua couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Master, I'm outside the palace and won't be back for a while. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Fanghua pouted, "It's nothing. I plan to have my baby sterilized by Emperor Kangxi after I get pregnant with Yinreng." In the past, she definitely wouldn't have dared to think like this.
Since she achieved a state of mental clarity, there's nothing she wouldn't dare to think about or do.
Xiao Feng was shocked by these words. "Master, are you serious?" If she had no heirs with Yinreng, wouldn't people doubt her as Empress during the later years of Kangxi's reign?
"Master, if this is really the case, the Emperor might become suspicious in the future," Xiao Feng advised after thinking for a moment.
"What are you afraid of? It's his own fault for not being able to have children. What does it have to do with me?" Does he think he can shift the blame onto her?
Xiao Feng got anxious.
This time it was really in a hurry.
It's not that I feel sorry for anyone else, but I feel sorry for my own owner.
"Master, please don't! Don't just focus on their fratricide; think about their good points too!" Xiao Feng quickly gave examples to prevent her master from making a decision.
"For example, Yinzhi is a rare military talent, and Yintang is a business genius. The thirteenth and fourteenth princes are all outstanding individuals who excel in both literature and martial arts. Although the fourth and eighth princes are a bit cunning, with you keeping them in check this time, would they dare to rebel?"
With so many people, if we make good use of them, the Qing Dynasty could expand several times over. Besides, an emperor can't do everything himself; otherwise, he'd end up like Yinzhen, working himself to death at his desk.
Its little owner can't do that.
"Hmph, you're good at making excuses for them, but don't you think about it? Even brothers from the same mother fight to the death, let alone those who don't share the same mother." She had no intention of letting them have so many children.
If everything is done according to the previous life, then what is the point of her being reborn?
That's nothing.
"I can't stand it. What use are they if they're talented but can't be of one mind?" Besides, she couldn't guarantee that they would all be on her side.
What if they harbor rebellious intentions?
Who can vouch for this?
