Consort Hui knew that this was the time when she was the one who would garner sympathy, so if she struck him, wouldn't she just lose the emperor's pity?
"You're not allowed to go!!!"
Yinzhi was reprimanded by Consort Hui. Seeing his mother's unquestionable gaze, he felt dejected and squatted down on the ground.
Consort Hui was so angry at his spineless appearance that she dragged him into the study.
The servants saw Consort Hui grab the master by the neck, and the master obediently let himself be carried away.
The servants glanced at it and then lowered their heads, not daring to look a second time.
The mother and son were in the study when they heard Yinzhi's loud shouts, Consort Hui's scolding, then the sound of things being smashed, and finally a long, oppressive silence that made it hard to breathe.
...
Consort Hui was, after all, an imperial concubine. No matter how lax the rules were in the garden, an imperial concubine could not stay overnight in the prince's residence. Seeing that her son's emotions had stabilized and that she could not yet tell the situation of her grandson, she ordered the eunuchs Shuangxi, Qiaogu, and a few other young eunuchs to stay there and report any matters immediately before returning home.
Consort Hui will go back and demand an explanation from Emperor Kangxi. What do the Third Prince's wife and Consort Rong mean by this? She's targeting that vicious maid...
Yes, that's the maid who tried to push the First Princess's belly, the Third Princess's personal maid. She was also taken away by Consort Hui, but she's very useful.
Staying here might result in my son killing me with a single blow, which would be perfect for the enemy to cover up their crime.
She was going to take him to see the Emperor and ask him for an explanation. What did this mean? The Third Princess Consort couldn't have children herself, and Consort Rong had no grandchildren, so she was going to harm my grandchildren.
If anything happens to my eldest grandson, I will absolutely swear an oath against you, the Ma Jia clan and the Dong E clan!
That night, Hongyu developed a fever, his little face flushed red, and the lights in the eldest prince's quarters stayed on all night.
This was, of course, intentional on He Zhuo's part. He had subtly raised He Zhuo's temperature. It was nothing serious; the fact that He Zhuo didn't respond to calls was simply because he had fallen asleep. However, it terrified everyone, because Physician Liu's diagnosis was: "High fever and coma, extremely dangerous."
Finally, having no other choice, in the middle of the night, Yinzhi could only run to the Qianqing Palace to kneel and beg his father, the Emperor. Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi did not summon any concubines that day, otherwise things would have been very difficult.
Consort Hui had complained before, and the maid who pushed the pregnant Consort's belly had been taken away and interrogated by Li Dequan, so she knew about the matter and immediately summoned the imperial physician.
After the imperial physician arrived, Hongyu's condition gradually stabilized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did Hezhuo finally fall asleep. No matter how much everyone tried to persuade her, Hezhuo said she was extremely anxious and unable to sleep. After examining the Grand Consort, Imperial Physician Liu said that she should focus on resting and recuperating during her pregnancy. He said that if she was not at peace, how could she possibly have a healthy pregnancy? Only then did everyone give up.
Hongyu's fever has subsided, and Hezhuo can now log off with peace of mind.
With He Zhuo's cultivation level, he could simply cultivate whenever he didn't need to sleep. He could go a month without sleep, let alone a few days.
However, He Zhuo was pregnant and always wanted to provide the best possible environment for her unborn child. Besides, pregnancy is a vulnerable time for cultivators, so...
Little Zhenbao was physically strong, but she had several nightmares that night. He Zhuo comforted her and patted her until she fell asleep again. The Second Prince was still young, and this incident did not affect him.
Before going to bed, He Zhuo held Yin Zhi's hand and told him not to impulsively cause trouble for the Third Prince. Yin Zhi felt uneasy, as he was planning to take the Third Prince out and beat him up, so he refused to agree.
He Zhuo could only say, "If you don't agree, I won't go to sleep."
Yinzhi felt sorry for his pregnant wife and could only grit his teeth and agree.
