Leave no trace!
Recalling the Empress Dowager's earlier words, Rong Xi's eyes lit up as she considered a possibility. Could it be that Kangxi had even altered her own memories?
What is the ultimate level of deception?
Naturally, he even deceived himself, believing that what he said was true.
If Emperor Kangxi wanted to live a carefree life, simply altering the memories of Yan Wuyue and Consort De was not enough; he had to alter his own memories as well!
So, here's the problem!
Did Emperor Kangxi genuinely desire a life of ease and immortality, or was this merely a delaying tactic?
If this was just a delaying tactic by Kangxi, would he have altered his own memories as well?
I can't tell!
The Qing Dynasty in this time and space is completely different from the Qing Dynasty in history.
It's impossible to know what Emperor Kangxi was really thinking.
However, based on her belief in conspiracy theories, Rong Xi felt she still needed to be extra careful around Kangxi. After all, it's easier to dodge a spear in the open than to guard against an arrow in the dark.
After Kangxi left, he disappeared without a trace.
If he harbors resentment, he will surely hide in the shadows and stir up trouble.
If that's really the case, it would be very bad.
"With Grandmother's words, I am relieved!"
Despite still having doubts in her heart, Rong Xi still gave the Empress Dowager a lot of face on the surface.
Since the Empress Dowager said she didn't need to worry, then she wouldn't. But if any unexpected events occurred, then she wouldn't be so surprised if she ordered the Taotie to go on a killing spree.
"You've been wronged in this matter!"
The Empress Dowager looked at Rong Xi with a gentle expression, "Whatever your request, as long as it is within my power, I will grant it!"
"Grandmother, really?"
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Rong Xi immediately feigned great joy.
"Although I am not the emperor, in the Qing Dynasty, my words carry the weight of history!"
The Empress Dowager responded in a deep voice.
In the Qing Dynasty, her status was truly very high.
Even if Emperor Kangxi were still alive, he wouldn't dare disobey her decisions. Moreover, now that Kangxi is gone and the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne.
At present, the power of the Qing Dynasty is in the hands of the Empress Dowager.
"Grandmother, your granddaughter-in-law wishes to have two trees in Yanxi Palace!"
Rong Xi had long seen and remembered the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree. Keeping such a precious thing in Yanxi Palace would be a waste.
Although Consort De was aware of the growth patterns of the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree, its requirements for the growing environment were extremely high. If the environment was not up to standard, the chances of survival were very low. Even if it survived by chance, the chances of it bearing a true Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit were extremely slim.
Although the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree in Yanxi Palace survived, it never bore a true Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit.
The reason for this is that the growing environment is too poor.
The Forbidden City is rich in spiritual energy, comparable to some famous mountains and rivers. However, compared to a blessed land, the environment of the Forbidden City is vastly inferior.
Rong Xi had already planned that once she obtained the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree, she would transplant it into the system's blessed land.
A blessed land is the best place for the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree to grow.
"The Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree?!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's request, the Empress Dowager had no way of refusing.
Although the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree is very precious, and this transplant might cause it to die, the Empress Dowager knew that the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit produced by the tree did not possess the miraculous effects of the original Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit.
The Empress Dowager agreed after only a brief consideration that the two spirit fruit trees, which were like chicken bones (meaning they were of little use), could bring Rong Xi peace of mind.
"Thank you, Grandmother!"
Rong Xi was overjoyed, like a cunning old fox who had successfully stolen a chicken, after receiving the Empress Dowager's permission.
