Chapter 45: How can Concubine De feel at ease to have a child with him? ...
Yuyan was very considerate and immediately went forward to take care of Concubine De. She really took care of her and didn't do anything else. Looking at Concubine De's condition, she had cramps and twisted her foot, and it was obvious that she had been tortured badly.
The two kinds of pain combined together are still very painful.
The maids beside Concubine De were extremely nervous and immediately asked for the imperial physician to come and see Concubine De.
It's the New Year, and there are still many things to do. What if something happens to the Queen?
But Concubine De stopped him and said, "Don't go yet. I'm fine."
The palace maid was anxious: "Madam!"
"Don't go yet." De Fei said, "Bring the medicine oil for sprains and bruises here. I will deal with the emergency first. You go outside to comfort him, and then stay outside. Don't let anyone in."
De Fei handed the medicine oil to Yu Yan and said, "You come and apply the medicine to me. I just sprained my foot, it's not a big deal."
Originally, Defei was not feeling unwell. She just used the excuse that she was tired and wanted to set some rules in front of Li and Ulanara.
After coming in, the fatigue of the past few days hit Defei. Ulanara was quite good at serving people, so she felt a little drowsy. As a result, when Ulanara opened her mouth, she almost shocked Defei.
Defei sat up in shock, and ended up getting hurt.
Defei thought it was her own fault. If it were any other day, she would have summoned the imperial physician to see her.
Such an unexpected injury would certainly win the emperor's sympathy.
Having been in the palace for so many years, Concubine De knew very well how to maintain the king's favor even after she was no longer serving the emperor.
When the emperor came back from his southern tour, Concubine De could sense that the emperor had become a little cold towards her.
She always thought it was the fourth child's fault.
It was obvious that the fourth child did not grow up in front of her, but now that he had caused trouble, he could have implicated her and the fourteenth child.
Even Old Fourteen was injured by him.
Defei didn't dislike the fourth son from the beginning. She tried to repair the mother-son relationship between her and the fourth son, but after all, they were still strangers after many years. Defei herself couldn't stand the fourth son's cold personality, so she let him go.
Originally, the relationship between mother and son was good, but how could the fourth child hurt the fourteenth child?
That's his biological brother!
Defei wants to put some pressure on those close to the Fourth Prince. After all, the Emperor seems to have become somewhat distant from the Fourteenth Prince. Defei hopes that Yinzhen will go to the Emperor and admit his mistake, so that everyone will feel better.
So what did Ulanala say?
The Fourteenth Prince actually instigated the Eighth Prince to frame the Crown Prince? And he also wanted to pull Cao Yin in?
De Fei's heart was beating wildly. She asked Yu Yan: "Tell me in detail."
The Defei's cry of pain just now was quite loud, someone outside must have heard it.
The people outside knew that Concubine De was not well, and wanted to come in to check, but they were stopped by the palace maids beside Concubine De. The palace maids smiled and swore that nothing was wrong and asked everyone to rest assured. They also said that Concubine De had already rested, so who could just break in?
But Fourteenth Concubine Jin was worried and asked, "Can I go in with you to serve my mother?"
She was really worried about her fourth sister-in-law being alone in there.
The maid smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Fujin. Your Majesty is fine. Your Majesty said that it is good to have the fourth Fujin by her side."
She was a maidservant beside Concubine De, and she had heard what Si Fujin had just said, but she could not say anything without her master's order. She felt very uneasy. If what Si Fujin said was true, then wouldn't Fourteenth Prince be——
The palace maids did not dare to think further, they only felt that there were unknown crises hidden in this bustle and excitement among the younger generation.
Yuyan told Concubine De everything.
After hearing the whole thing, Concubine De was in a trance.
She had always known that the Fourteenth Prince and the Eighth Prince were good friends, that the Eighth Prince was well liked and respected by the court officials, and that the Emperor also had a good opinion and impression of the Eighth Prince.
The ninth and tenth brothers were getting along well with the eighth brother, so Defei didn't stop them after making some plans. It might also be beneficial for the fourteenth brother to follow the eighth brother, but we can't let the fourteenth brother follow the fourth brother, right?
The fourteenth brother was very dissatisfied with the fourth brother.
Concubine De acquiesced to her younger son's decision.
But no one expected that the younger son would be so bold that he instigated Yinsi to frame the prince and even wanted to win over the emperor's confidants. The thing was done, but how did the emperor find out?
After the emperor returned to Beijing, he kept silent about the prince's affairs and only dealt with the people around him. However, he did not say a word to the fourteenth and eighth brothers. It seemed that the fourteenth and eighth brothers were also unaware of this. So what did the emperor want to do?
Defei herself was terrified by the thought.
But she couldn't tell these things to the Fourteenth Prince. If the Emperor didn't tell her, but she did, and the Fourteenth Prince did something impulsive, wouldn't that harm her most beloved youngest son?
If she did nothing, she didn't know what the emperor would do. She was really worried. Her son's future was so important that she had no time to bully others.
Yuyan threw the time bomb to Concubine De and then ignored it.
Defei was indeed restless, so she didn't let her serve for too long. She let her out after a while, obviously wanting to be alone and think quietly.
Defei and Yinzhen always liked to make trouble because their lives were so smooth, as if they had never suffered any losses. So as long as many things did not go according to the wishes of the mother and son, they would lose their temper and make trouble.
It would have been fine if she hadn't come, but since she was here, how could she just watch Yinzhen suffer such injustice again?
She was not the kind of person who was willing to accept the humiliation now and then take revenge later.
As long as she knows it, she will certainly bully those who bully her back.
Being filial to your mother-in-law? Screw that.
Only when the elders are kind will the younger generations be filial.
If the elders are not kind, why should the younger generation be filial to them?
People are people, not animals. A word of filial piety is more important than heaven, so do you really have to put your life on the line?
Yuyan can't do this.
It is obvious that Concubine De is a very disciplined person, but she seems to be very undisciplined towards the people she favors.
For example, when she saw her coming out, the Fourteenth Concubine Jin would look at her curiously, then look inside. She was very cold to her, but also acted as if she was very worried about Concubine De.
If Fourteenth Prince Fu Jin didn't bother her, Yu Yan would ignore him.
But looking at Li, the eldest and second princesses, and the Thirteenth Concubine Jin sitting there upright, Yu Yan sighed in her heart, thinking that there were still a few honest people who were afraid.
Yuyan walked over and sat down, took away the cold hand warmers from the hands of several people, and ordered someone to replace them with warm ones. Then she looked at them and said, "You can relax a little. The Queen has always been kind and will not blame you for relaxing during the New Year."
Her words sounded awkward and strange, and the palace maids serving beside her didn't dare to say anything, but it was indeed true. Otherwise, then Concubine De was really mean.
Yuyan was very relaxed. With Defei's current mood and mentality, she would definitely be distracted and worried throughout the New Year. It was impossible for her to be distracted and bully anyone. She would only care about Yinzhen's affairs.
If she couldn't handle it herself, she would definitely discuss it with Yinzhen and Fourteenth Concubine Jin, and that would be their own business. Anyway, as long as Concubine De didn't cause trouble, Yuyan would not make any more big moves.
They don't have to go out, they just need to serve Concubine De in Yonghe Palace. Concubine De can't control them now, which means they are comfortable and free now.
Li looked at her own Fu Jin, who seemed to be relaxed at home, and wrote the letter thoughtfully. But she could not guess what Fu Jin had done.
But the experience of the past six months has shown that following Fu Jin is definitely the right thing to do.
Sitting stiffly for most of the day must have been very tiring. Li couldn't hold on any longer and slowly relaxed. She and Thirteenth Prince Jin looked at each other and both sipped some tea.
The two children also relaxed.
The second princess learned from her mother, while the eldest princess could only watch Fujin secretly. Before she entered the palace, her mother specifically instructed her that if she didn't know what to do, she should listen to Fujin and do whatever Fujin said.
Then just listen to Fujin, the eldest princess thought.
What Yuyan is thinking now is, I wonder when Yinzhen will be able to prepare the ground and send the children out first.
The grandchildren of the emperor who were active in the palace were basically the children of the Prince of Zhi and the Prince of Cheng. As for the princes under Yinzhen, their children were still young and were not old enough to be brought in.
These children are all very active and in good health.
Yinzhen's children are not as troublesome as others.
And even though the crown prince is under house arrest, his children still receive the love of Kangxi, and this has not changed.
But the mere fact that the crown prince was under house arrest was enough to make the Prince of Zhi, who had always wanted to surpass the crown prince, ready to make a move.
Not to mention that Prince Zhi's eldest son was also quite favored by Kangxi.
There are two brothers, one is the legitimate son and the other is the eldest son. When they fight, it is impossible for the children not to be involved. Others may be able to take sides and avoid it, but having a healthy body will definitely be a torment.
But Yinzhen's children, the second and third princes, looked so weak and fragile, how could they be tortured?
It’s better to send it out early.
Yuyan's gaze turned to the eldest and second princesses, and it would be better to send the two maids out as well.
No more children can die in the mansion. Jian Yuyan has a bit of an occupational disease and cannot accept that after she becomes the fourth concubine, there will still be children dying in the mansion.
There is no need for him to be tortured to death under the strict royal rules.
Now, no one will win in the fight between Prince Zhi and the Crown Prince, and it would be in vain to fight.
There is no need to waste children's energy on this. If you are sick, you should just keep it to yourself. Once you get through this period, that will be good.
Xiaohong came in hurriedly, and the palace maids from Yonghe Palace also hurried over after hearing the news.
"Fujin, the prince was leading the second and third princes to the front of the palace, and the second prince suddenly fainted. The emperor was shocked and said that since the second prince was sick, he asked the prince to send the two younger princes back. The prince said that he wanted to take the eldest and second princesses back together."
Li was shocked when she heard this and wanted to stand up immediately, but Yuyan looked at her and Li could only hold back and sit down.
Yu Yan was helpless.
How did Yinzhen raise his children?
He is the child's biological father, why did the child faint?
With him being like this, how can I feel comfortable having a child with him after I get better?
