"Cousin, I also have something I want to say to you!" Consort Tongjia finally turned her gaze to Emperor Kangxi.
"You're tired, take a rest!" Kangxi said.
"It's alright, talking won't tire you out much!" Consort Tongjia smiled.
I don't know when, but now only Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tongjia are left in the room.
"Cousin, do you remember the first time we met?" Consort Tongjia asked, leaning on Emperor Kangxi's shoulder.
Emperor Kangxi moved his position slightly to make Consort Tongjia more comfortable.
"I remember seeing you in my mother's palace. You tugged at my clothes and asked me to get you a kite from a tree!"
"So this is our first meeting!" Consort Tongjia exclaimed. "I don't even remember!"
Do you remember when was the first time?
"We met at the horse farm in the suburbs!" Consort Tongjia recalled the scene.
That was the first time I was moved by you!
Consort Tongjia blushed upon hearing this.
"Cousin, will you blame me for keeping you confined to the palace?"
"No, cousin, I know you've done so much for me. You were deliberately cold to me back then to protect me. I'm already very grateful!"
My only regret is that I couldn't have a child with my cousin.
However, it's good to have Yinzhen by my side!
"Cousin, Yinzhen is all grown up now and doesn't need Mother's care anymore. After I leave, if he doesn't want to go back to Lady Wuya's side, please don't force him, okay?" Consort Tongjia was worried that Kangxi would let the Fourth Prince return to Lady Wuya's side.
"No, Lady Wuya is just a noblewoman and is not qualified to raise a prince."
Cousin, are you upset that I didn't register Yinzhen under your name? Kangxi always felt guilty towards Consort Tongjia when it came to this.
“Cousin, you must have your reasons for doing this!” Consort Tongjia still resented Kangxi, because Kangxi was worried that Yinzhen would threaten the Crown Prince.
After hearing what Consort Tongjia said, Emperor Kangxi knew that Consort Tongjia was blaming him. In order not to leave any regrets for his cousin and himself, he thought it would be better to change Yinzhen's imperial genealogy to his cousin's name.
"Cousin, after I leave, could you please stop letting any girls from Tongjia enter the palace? Tongjia has me and my aunt, that's enough. Please don't let any others enter the palace!" Consort Tongjia knew that after she left, her family would definitely arrange for other people to enter the palace.
"With you here, there's no need for anyone else to enter the palace!" What Kangxi meant by this was that Consort Tongjia was enough in the palace, and that she would always be with him.
Consort Tongjia interpreted this as her not wanting other members of the Tongjia clan to enter the palace while she was alive, but who knows what would happen after her death.
Whether or not she enters the palace is no longer her decision. Fortunately, Yinzhen has grown up, and they should be unable to get close to him anymore.
"Cousin, I'm tired and want to sleep a little longer!" Consort Tongjia said to Emperor Kangxi.
"Alright!" Kangxi placed Consort Tongjia on the bed and awkwardly covered her with a quilt, tucking the corners of the quilt in.
Kangxi did not leave. He sat next to Consort Tongjia and began to process the memorials. While Liang Jiugong was getting him clothes, he also asked Liang Jiugong to bring over the memorials that he had not yet processed.
After everyone came out, they sat in the outer room and waited.
He Xue lowered her head, pondering how to find Consort Wuya. She now believed that Consort Tongjia had been poisoned by Consort Wuya. If so, would finding an antidote save Consort Tongjia?
He Xue became increasingly convinced that Consort Tongjia had been poisoned, and this idea grew stronger and stronger. She didn't know if it was just her own thought or if it was a fact.
Seeing Consort Tongjia lying motionless on the bed, He Xue felt a surge of resentment. Why did everyone else who transmigrated have some kind of cheat or system? Why didn't she have anything? If she did, could she save Consort Tongjia?
Since she lacks those innate advantages, she has to rely on herself to save Consort Tongjia.
He Xue excused herself from feeling unwell and left after saying goodbye to Consort Hui and the other two.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue and felt that He Xue's condition was not simply due to physical discomfort. Could it be that He Xue was going to see Consort Wuya? The Crown Prince made up an excuse and left as well.
After leaving, the Crown Prince dared not delay and immediately went to find He Xue. He worried that He Xue wouldn't be able to handle the cunning Consort Wuya.
