When Kangxi entered Yonghe Palace, Consort De, of the Uya clan, was lying on the bed in a daze after taking her medicine. Her face was pale and weak, but her lips, which had regained some color after taking the medicine, were rosy and moist, which made her look less haggard and gave her a somewhat sickly beauty.
Especially today, Consort De, Uya, wore a moon-white cheongsam, which made her look elegant and melancholic, making people feel sorry for her.
When Kangxi saw this scene, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
He was quite satisfied with the past behavior and conduct of Consort De, Uya.
Otherwise, they wouldn't come to Yonghe Palace so often. The Sixth Prince was one reason, and another reason was that Yonghe Palace was comfortable and cozy.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, was not a talkative person. She was like a gentle flower, making Yonghe Palace feel relaxed and at ease. It was easy for her to forget the troubles of the previous dynasty. In addition, with the Sixth Prince's playful company, Emperor Kangxi visited more often.
Consort De, Uya, opened her eyes groggily and saw Emperor Kangxi sitting by her bedside. She was about to ask the nanny again why His Majesty had not yet arrived.
Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed silently, drop by drop. Her silent tears were most endearing, especially those of Consort Wuya.
Her eyes were full of love, and her tears told of her grievances.
"Your Majesty, I... I spoke rudely last time. I shouldn't have implicated the Fourth Prince because of the Sixth Prince's death..."
"At that time, I was in a panic, thinking that my sixth prince was gone, and I don't know how... I said such vicious words."
“...Although the Fourth Prince was not raised by me personally, he is still my biological son. I would never be so heartless.”
The sobbing was accompanied by a gentle, melodious voice.
"...At that time, I was overwhelmed with grief and talked incoherently. In the end, I realized that I was full of remorse and that it was all my fault...I know I was wrong."
After speaking, Consort De, Uya, turned her face slightly to the side, presenting the most beautiful side of her face when she was crying to Emperor Kangxi.
During their intimate moments, Emperor Kangxi once said that her profile was most beautiful when she cried, making him want to cherish her more. Whenever that happened, they would spend a few more minutes together in bed.
Now, Consort De, of the Uya clan, is very clear about her advantages. She must make Emperor Kangxi forgive her this time and show her some tenderness.
Otherwise, now that there is no imperial heir, and Kangxi doesn't show her any favor, Consort Tong would definitely not let her go.
Next month, Consort Tong will be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, at which point she will have no favor from the emperor.
Consort Tong dealt with her, a lowly and unfavored noblewoman, with absolutely no effort.
And then there's that vile Consort Yi. The two of them have been at odds ever since they entered the palace. They used to be equally favored, both holding the rank of Consort, and each had two biological sons.
Now, not only has she lost her own son who raised her, but her rank has also been lowered. When they meet again, she will have to bow to him. Just thinking about that scene makes her feel suffocated.
They wished they could stay in Yonghe Palace forever and never go out.
She must find a way to quickly regain her rank.
As expected, Kangxi paused to calm himself after staring at Consort De's profile. The temperature in his eyes rose a few degrees, and his cold, hard features softened.
"It's good that you know you're wrong. In that case, I don't want to hear it a second time. Otherwise... my beloved consort should never leave Yonghe Palace for the rest of her life."
Consort De's pitiful face stiffened for a moment, she tugged at the corners of her mouth, lowered her head, and said in a wronged tone.
"Your Majesty, I understand. I will never speak ill of you again. It was all my fault. I will reflect on my mistakes every day and never repeat them... Your Majesty, please don't want me to..."
Consort De, of the Uya clan, raised her small, tear-streaked face, her eyes filled with remorse, looking at Emperor Kangxi with an expression of self-awareness and remorse.
Kangxi glanced at her a few times before reaching out to embrace Consort De, Uya.
Out of consideration for the Sixth Prince, Emperor Kangxi was still willing to give Consort De, Lady Uya, some face.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, silently shed tears in Kangxi's arms as she spoke.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. You cannot abandon me."
"Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong."
...
Kangxi felt a dampness in his arms and knew that Consort De, Uya, was still crying.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time. You just had a miscarriage, you shouldn't cry anymore."
"What happened? How could she have miscarried while just staying in Yonghe Palace?"
Consort De, of the Uya clan, gradually stopped crying and said in a muffled voice in Kangxi's arms.
"I don't know why, but ever since I returned to Yonghe Palace, I have been bedridden and taking great care of myself during my pregnancy... But the day before yesterday, I ate the dragon blood bird's nest that His Majesty bestowed upon me. At first, nothing happened, but I felt a little uncomfortable..."
"At that time, I was under house arrest. I thought that the things His Majesty had given me should be fine, and that I would be fine after a rest, so I didn't dare to call the imperial physician."
"Who would have thought that today, while I am lying in bed, I would miscarry for no apparent reason."
"Imperial Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital came to diagnose me... and finally discovered that the dragon's blood bird's nest contained some herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis..."
Lady De, Uya, started crying again, and even sobbed softly.
"Your Majesty, I truly do not know who is so cruel as to cause me to miscarry for no reason... My heart aches so much..."
“My sixth prince is gone, and now… I have nothing left.”
"Why is God so cruel? I have not done anything that is against the will of Heaven. Why is God treating me like this?"
…………
After a long, tearful outburst, Consort De, Uya, didn't even break a sweat. She quietly found her best angle and presented it to Emperor Kangxi unintentionally.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi, remembering the lively and clever Sixth Prince, felt his heart soften completely and gently comforted him.
"I am also deeply saddened by the matter of the Sixth Prince. As for the matter of the Dragon Blood Bird's Nest, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give my beloved consort an explanation. Is that alright?"
"Stop crying, it hurts my heart. I will definitely give the unborn child an explanation."
"When you get pregnant again, whether it's a prince or a princess, I will promote you in rank. For now, just be a Noble Lady for a while."
"I will confine you to your quarters for a while longer. Once you are fully recovered, I will lift the confinement... If you need anything, just send someone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find me."
"As long as I am not busy, I will take the time to come to Yonghe Palace to see my beloved concubine. Please take good care of yourself in Yonghe Palace."
Consort De, of the Uya clan, was very dissatisfied with Kangxi's arrangement, but her face was full of joy.
"Your Majesty, I will do anything you ask. As long as Your Majesty forgives me, I will do anything."
