What else could Empress Xiaozhuang say? She could only express regret that she could not take care of her throughout her pregnancy.
Perhaps Kangxi and Xiaozhuang attached too much importance to Mousse Pear, and the harem was calm for a long time until the queen gave birth.
Three months later, the Queen launched the rebellion in Kunning Palace.
I thought she would have a safe delivery this time, after all, she had already given birth to one. Who could have thought that she would have a difficult delivery and hemorrhage?
"I'm afraid I'm in great danger. Go and ask Concubine Chen to come over and tell her that I have something to ask of you."
The queen's maid agreed with tears in her eyes, then went out to invite Mu Sili in to talk.
Kangxi knew that she was going to entrust her son to someone before her death, so he did not stop Mu Sili from going in. He just asked Ziyuan to go in with her so that he would be the first to know if anything happened.
As soon as she entered the delivery room, Mu Sili smelled a strong smell of blood. It seemed that the queen was really suffering from hemorrhage.
"You're here, and you've seen it too. I'm having a massive hemorrhage. I'd like you to monitor me. Please agree."
"Please tell me, Madam. If I can do this, I will definitely live up to your trust."
The Queen hadn't taken any action against her during the few months she had been a concubine. This alone was enough to make it worth her while helping her. It was just a matter of entrusting her with the care of her son before her death, so she could do it.
"This is the child I risked my life to give birth to. Please help me raise her. I don't know why I trust you with so many people in the harem, but I just feel that you can protect her.
I am now on my deathbed, and it is at this moment that I realize that the position of Queen was not my original intention. I do not ask him to become the Crown Prince, I only ask that he grow up safely."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely raise the little prince. Everything in the world is changing rapidly. Since he is my adopted son, I will definitely raise him as my own son."
"Thank you. I'm so glad I didn't do anything wrong to you. Otherwise, what would happen to my child?"
After taking a reluctant look at the little prince, she asked Mu Sili to leave, and then Kangxi walked in.
"Queen, you can go with peace of mind. Concubine Chen will raise him well."
"I understand, Your Majesty. I cannot accompany you any longer. You must take good care of yourself. The prince is still young. Please protect him."
"I know. He is my only legitimate son. Even if he doesn't inherit the throne in the future, he will still be a prince. I will not treat him unfairly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The news that the queen had passed away and her only legitimate son had become Mu Sili's adopted son spread quickly throughout the court and the harem. They were all surprised. After all, Mu Sili was just a concubine, and it was a bit far-fetched for her to raise a legitimate son.
But this was the Queen's decision, and they had no choice but to accept it.
Concubine Tong thought that after the Queen's death, the child would be given to her or Concubine Nianhulu to raise, and never thought that she would give the child to Mu Sili to raise.
Therefore, when she learned that the queen would rather believe Mu Sili than her and Concubine Niohuru, she was very angry, but helpless.
After learning that the queen had entrusted her with the care of her son before her death, Hesheli's opinion of Mu Sili changed. The fact that she was valued by the queen proved that she was a kind-hearted person.
It is a blessing for the little prince to grow up by her side. In this case, the Hesheli family will be her mother's family in the future.
Even Kangxi did not expect that Soetu would ask to adopt Mu Sili as his adopted daughter. He did not agree at first, but thinking of her future, he decided to agree to Soetu's proposal.
"Since you have adopted Concubine Chen as your adopted daughter, then let her be included in the Hesheli family tree. From now on, she will be your daughter."
"I understand, Your Majesty, rest assured. Since you have adopted Concubine Chen as your adopted daughter, I will definitely use the whole family's strength to support her."
When Kangxi told Mu Sili the news, she was coaxing the little prince born by the queen.
"The Emperor is probably teasing me. Suo Etu is a first-rank minister. How could he possibly adopt me as his adopted daughter?"
"How could I possibly lie to you? Your future achievements will go far beyond this. Having a strong family is a good thing. After all, I can't always be by your side to protect you. I feel more at ease with them around."
Since Kangxi said so, she should accept Soetu as her father.
"I understand. From now on, I will be called Hesheli Su Moer."
The fact that Mu Sili was registered under Soetu's name made Concubine Tong lose her defense again. Before the emperor died, he gave his legitimate son to her to raise, but why did Soetu adopt her as his adopted daughter and include her in the family tree?
She is listed in the family tree as the legitimate daughter of Hesheli. Have they never thought of pushing another person into the palace?
"My Lady, your emotions are fluctuating too much today, which is not good for your health. Please don't worry about what's going on over there."
"No, judging by the current situation, it's only a matter of time before I fall out of favor. Concubine Chen is raising the Emperor's only legitimate son and is pregnant. If I don't make preparations, she will step on me sooner or later.
That old man Suo Etu wouldn't adopt her as his daughter for no reason. They must have made some kind of deal. Go ask my father to investigate carefully. I want to know the reason."
The reason? What could be the reason? Most likely, it was because she was raising the Queen's only legitimate son that they resorted to this desperate measure.
This not only saved the legitimate son, but also gained a concubine favored by the emperor, which was much more beneficial than pushing a member of the clan into the palace again.
I'm not a fool, I naturally know what to choose. Your Majesty is still a little young and can't see such a simple thing.
"Your Highness, this matter is a done deal. Even if you know the reason, can you change it? I still say the same thing. If you have that time, you might as well think about how to win your favor.
Concubine Chen is not allowed to sleep with the emperor while she is pregnant. If someone can share her favor at this time, the emperor's attention to her will be reduced.
As long as she gets less attention, you can do whatever you want in the future. Why bother with her now?"
Yes, she cannot sleep with the emperor now. The emperor will not allow her to stay until she gives birth. If she takes this opportunity to gain favor, what role will she have?
However, even if she is favored, she cannot get pregnant with her current health condition. It would be better to push someone out to consolidate her favor.
As long as she took the other party's child into her arms and raised it, Kangxi would not ignore her as before for the sake of the child.
Even if he finds out the truth about how Mu Sili and Rong Guiren almost had a miscarriage, he will not do anything to her. With the child, she can live a worry-free life.
"You're right. So, go and help me find a beautiful woman who's easy to control. Since I'm going to give her such great wealth, I naturally can't give her the chance to turn against me."
"I understand, your majesty, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you."
When Mu Sili learned that Concubine Tong was planning to recruit someone to consolidate her favor, she immediately attracted attention. She was not worried, but simply wanted to know whether the person she was looking for was Uya.
