Liang Jiugong admired Concubine De's courage very much. It had only been a few years and she had become so arrogant. If it went on for a few more years, wouldn't she become the overlord of the harem?
"Your Majesty, the Queen is a very kindhearted person. She has never made enemies in the palace for many years and has always lived a peaceful life in her own little piece of land.
This old minister truly cannot understand how Your Majesty has offended Consort De, causing her to resort to using her family's influence to destroy the heir in Your Majesty's womb. I beg Your Majesty to intervene on Your Majesty's behalf."
"I will give the Imperial Concubine an explanation on this matter. Concubine De is too careless. After she gives birth to this child, I will punish her. As for the Wuya clan, you don't have to worry about it.
Everything they have now was obtained because of Concubine De. If Concubine De is punished, they will naturally suffer the consequences.
Furthermore, they are planning to attack my offspring. Even if they haven't taken any real action yet, I won't let them off easily."
What Kangxi said was true. He had just said how important this pregnancy of Mu Sili was when Concubine De asked the Uya clan to find a way to abort the baby in Mu Sili's womb.
If she really gets what she wants, then I, the emperor, should abdicate and let others take over.
"I thank Your Majesty for your help. I also ask Your Majesty not to spread this news to Yongshou Palace. Your Majesty has not been in good health since giving birth to the Tenth Prince, and I do not want to cause you any worries."
Kangxi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Is it possible that the strong woman Mu Sili is in poor health?
If I didn't know her true face, I would have believed it based on the way she behaved every day.
After all, no one wants to be in poor health. Everyone hopes to live a long life. But he is different. He just wants to be lazy and even wishes to take Yongshou Palace with him and never go out.
Thinking of this, Kangxi nodded helplessly. This matter really couldn't be let her know. She had just become pregnant with twins, which was not comparable to a single baby. She had to be extremely careful.
"I understand. Don't worry. This is the imperial palace. The imperial concubine holds a high position and I am here to protect her. I will not let anything happen to them and their child."
Of course, what Kangxi actually wanted to express was that it was normal for Mu Sili to be envied because she was in a high position.
If no one envied her, she would worry whether she had fallen out of favor. After all, a person who was out of favor was not worthy of others' envy.
"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. I will take my leave."
After he could no longer see anyone, Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong understood that he was going to attack the Wuya clan.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will immediately send someone to investigate the behavior of the Wuya clan since the conferment of the title of Consort De. Do you want to inform the Imperial Concubine?"
"No need, just go and handle this matter. I want to see how a newly-established bannerman family like them can have the guts to fight against an established family.
Not only that, I also need to investigate Concubine De carefully. I have given her too much honor and favor over the years, which has caused her to have thoughts that she shouldn't have.
I originally doted on her more for the sake of the child, but now it seems her heart isn't as pure as I thought it was. Ultimately, it's all just an act."
"yes."
After Liang Jiugong arranged for people to investigate Concubine De and the Uya clan, Kangxi slowly walked towards Yongshou Palace.
"Your Highness, you are pregnant now and have to take care of the Tenth Prince. Why don't you send the Tenth Prince to the Prince's residence and bring him back after you give birth? That way you can rest assured and take care of your baby."
Because Mu Sili is pregnant with twins, Nanny Chen has been almost going crazy these days.
Originally thought that Yongshou Palace would only produce one prince and that would be the end, but unexpectedly the Empress not only suddenly gained favor but also got pregnant again.
The Tenth Prince is now at the age of being naughty. It would be bad if he accidentally offended the Empress and harmed the baby in her womb.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with going to the prince's residence. The eldest prince and the others are all there. Judging from the Tenth Prince's bold character, he will definitely not suffer any loss.
The key is that he only needs to stay there for a few months, and then he can be taken back after the queen gives birth safely.
"No need, Xiao Shi is still young. If I really send him to the prince's residence just because I'm pregnant, he'll inevitably have some thoughts.
Besides, there are so many people in the harem who want to see me make a fool of myself. If I really send Xiao Shi to the prince's residence, I'm afraid there will be another case of Concubine De and her son."
Nanny Chen was shocked when she heard this. She was so busy trying to make Mu Sili feel more relaxed that she forgot that there was a precedent in the palace.
"I was mistaken, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's okay, you're doing this for my own good. Even if I give birth to the child in my belly, my love for Xiao Shi will not change.
However, I have to mention this to the Emperor. We have already started the enlightenment process, and it would be bad to give up halfway. It would be better to let him go to the Palace of Purity first.
With the emperor watching over him, he certainly won't dare to be lazy. If he's dissatisfied at that time, I'll use the excuse that his younger brothers and sisters won't like him in the future to make him study hard.
Based on my experience, this child will develop a sense of responsibility once he becomes a big brother. If I ask him to teach his younger siblings, he will definitely be happy to do so."
Outside the door, Kangxi had a helpless smile on his face. He didn't know whether he should be angry or agree.
Yin? is not even three years old yet, so it’s okay to give him some enlightenment, but can he really accept it?
"Father, my son needs to study. Please take him to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Just when Kangxi was struggling, Yinzhen arrived.
After coming over from Mu Sili, Yin? clearly felt that his thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer, and even when he was enlightened with Yin'er, he felt very relaxed.
Although he was young, he already knew that Mu Sili's actions were all for his own good.
The most important thing is that he is about to become a big brother, and he has to set a good example for his younger siblings.
Kangxi was a little surprised. He really didn't expect Yinzhen to take the initiative to ask to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to study.
"I remember that you used to be the one who hated studying the most. You even started learning enlightenment only because your mother asked you to. How did you suddenly figure it out?"
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is nonsense. My son is studious. You cannot wrongly accuse him."
My mother is in there. What if she hears this and misunderstands? I have to set an example for my younger siblings and I can't let the emperor ruin my reputation.
"Father, I'm serious. I'll report to the Palace of Heavenly Purity tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll send Liang Jiugong to pick you up tomorrow."
"I pay my respects to the Emperor. Why don't you come in now? If I hadn't heard Xiao Shi's voice, I wouldn't have known you were outside."
"I came to see you and tell you something."
Mu Sili looked at Kangxi with confusion. What was the matter that required a special trip?
"Just now, the leader of the Niuhulu clan came and said that the Wuya clan was about to attack you."
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this matter? Concubine De is so bold that she actually dared to attack a concubine like me. Does she think she can rest easy just because she has a piece of meat in her belly?"
