After getting ready, Consort Wuya headed towards Chengqian Palace. Unfortunately, she was heavily pregnant and had to walk all the way there, as she was only a consort and not entitled to ride in a sedan chair.
Thinking of this, Consort Wuya gritted her teeth in hatred. If it weren't for Tongjia Qingyao, how could she have become a consort? Today was the day for her to take revenge.
The maidservant beside Consort Wuya looked at Consort Wuya's belly with concern, "Consort, why don't we visit the Imperial Concubine again tomorrow?"
It's getting late, and we can't see the road clearly. For the sake of your unborn child, let's go back!
"Go back?" Consort Wuya sneered. "Do you know how long I've waited for this day? How can I go back?"
Besides, Tong Jia Qingyao might not make it through the night; how could I not go?
The little palace maid had gone from being afraid of Consort Wuya's disrespect towards Consort Tongjia to now just letting it go in one ear and out the other. She didn't know why Consort Wuya harbored such deep hatred for Consort Tongjia!
"As for the child in my womb?" Consort Wuya gently stroked her belly. "If it can't even endure this little bit of suffering, it doesn't deserve to be my child, Wuya Zisu's child!"
Seeing that Consort Wuya insisted on going to Chengqian Palace, the palace maid said nothing more and could only help Consort Wuya more carefully.
"By the way, I heard that Consort Hui and Consort Rong went to Chengqian Palace. How could it be appropriate for Consort Yi not to go?"
"Isn't Consort Yi's favorite Consort Tongjia? Go tell Consort Yi quickly, or you might not get to see Tongjia Qingyao!" Consort Wuya said to the eunuch behind her.
The young eunuch nodded immediately and quickly disappeared into the night.
Inside Chengqian Palace, the Crown Prince looked at He Xue, who was crying uncontrollably, and felt as if his heart was bleeding.
The Crown Prince walked gently to He Xue and half-squatted down. "He Xue, be good! If Mother Tong saw you like this, she would be heartbroken! Listen to your Crown Prince brother and get up first, okay?"
"I don't want to!" He Xue shook her head. "Brother Crown Prince, I want to stay with Aunt! Otherwise, she won't be able to see me when she wakes up!"
"He Xue, how about this, you take your fourth brother to rest first. He's been here with Mother Tong all day, otherwise his body won't be able to take it!"
"Your Highness, I'll stay here and wait until Mother Tong wakes up. I'll go and call you then, okay?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade He Xue, the Crown Prince had to change his approach.
"I'm not leaving!" No matter what the Crown Prince said, He Xue kept repeating this sentence, holding Consort Tongjia's hand in hers, her eyes empty and devoid of their former vitality.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue and the Fourth Prince with a headache. Why were they both so stubborn? If this continued, it was likely that while their mother, Tong E Niang, would be alright, the two of them would be the first to give up.
"Second Prince, stop trying to persuade him. Let's all stay here with him! We can also keep an eye on He Xue and Xiao Si!" The First Prince and the Third Prince also came to Chengqian Palace after hearing the news.
The Crown Prince had no choice but to give up, but he kept his eyes on Xue and the Fourth Prince at all times, keeping a close eye on them.
"Your Majesty, Consort Wuya has arrived!" Liang Jiugong said as he approached Emperor Kangxi.
"What is she doing here? Tell her to go back to where she belongs!" Kangxi said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, Consort Wuya says she has a way that might save the Imperial Concubine!"
"What did you say?" Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong in shock.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Liang Jiugong, and He Xue and the Fourth Prince also turned to look at Liang Jiugong.
"Your Majesty, Consort Wuya says she has a way to save the Imperial Concubine!" Liang Jiugong said again, bracing himself under everyone's gaze.
As soon as Liang Jiugong finished speaking, Kangxi strode out, followed by the Crown Prince, the First Prince, and the Third Prince.
