Chapter 188 Cheng Qing Dies Young
Yuan Xu murmured, "Something happened in Yanxi Palace? I hope Chengqing is also sick. Recently, it has been a troubled time."
Only Ji Nai felt that the dust had settled, and his nerves, which had been tense recently, relaxed. [Wrong.]
"what?"
[People from the Yanxi Palace shouldn’t have gone to the Imperial Hospital.] Ji Nai was still a little soft-hearted. Even if he didn’t like them, Chengqing was just a child. Was he really going to stand by and watch?
In the end, Ji Nai hardened his heart. At this point, he could not regret it. Was he going to help Concubine Hui at this time? Impossible.
Even without talking about the past grievances, Ji Nai would not rashly come forward in such a situation and arouse suspicion. Besides, it was probably too late now.
At this time, Yuan Xu thought he had heard it wrong. It was not until he heard the news of Cheng Qing's death that Yuan Xu realized that he had not heard it wrong.
The news of Chengqing's death was like an earthquake, catching everyone off guard.
Kangxi suppressed his grief and hurried to the Yanxi Palace. He had been staying in Kunning Palace for the past two days, fearing that he would experience the pain of losing his son. He never thought that Chenghu was fine, but he lost another child.
Kangxi walked hurriedly, and at the same time instructed Liang Jiugong: "Send someone to stop the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. They are old and can't stand the stimulation. It's better not to let them come. Just tell them that I am here and ask them to rest assured.
Tell the Zhongcui Palace to tell the servants to guard the master and not to alarm Ji Nai, otherwise, I will hold them accountable. Also, tell the people in other palaces to stay in their own palaces and not to wander around if there is nothing to do. "
When Kangxi stepped into the Yanx Palace, he saw Nara, who was pregnant, holding the lifeless Chengqing and crying loudly, while the imperial physician beside her was prostrating on the ground, trembling.
Kangxi kicked the doctor, who was thrown to the ground but dared not cry out in pain, and lay down again. Kangxi angrily yelled at the trembling palace servants: "Are you all blind? Don't you know that the master is still pregnant? If something happens again, I will make you all die with me!"
The servants at the side seemed to have just reacted and went forward to support Concubine Hui, but Concubine Hui held Chengqing's body tightly and refused to let go. The palace servants did not dare to use force for fear of hurting their master.
In the end, Kangxi had to persuade her personally, "Zhizhu, the dead are gone, you should take care of yourself and don't hurt the baby in your belly."
Concubine Hui tightly grasped Kangxi's arm and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please ask them to save Chengqing, save Chengqing!"
Kangxi couldn't bear it and said, "Chengqing has already gone."
Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she hugged Chengqing's body again, mumbling, "How could this be? Chengqing is obviously fine. He was just angry at me, saying that I don't love him anymore."
Kangxi had no choice but to find a way to get Nara to get up from the ground. He persuaded her, "Then you sit on the couch first. The ground is cool, and you won't be afraid of freezing Chengqing."
Concubine Hui felt the temperature of her hands and found that they were indeed a little cold. She hurriedly picked up Chengqing, but she couldn't hold him up. Fortunately, Kangxi and Nanny Wu helped her on both sides.
During the action, Kangxi saw that Chengqing's face was dark purple, which was a sign of poisoning. Kangxi naturally knew that Chengqing's death so soon must have been a trick, and the possibility of an acute illness was very small.
But I didn't expect that Chengqing was poisoned!
Kangxi could no longer hold back, and without bothering to comfort the sad Nala, he shouted, "What is going on? Why on earth did Chengqing...why on earth did he become like this!"
Kangxi's voice became choked, but no one dared to laugh at the emperor's weakness at this time, because at this moment, Kangxi was not only grieving, but more like an enraged lion, showing his murderous intent nakedly.
If Kangxi was frightened when Chengrui got into trouble, he was sad and angry now.
The young and proud emperor had a bumpy road, but he was able to achieve what he wanted in the end, and was very proud of himself. However, Chengqing's death was like a wake-up call, shattering Kangxi's pride.
He realized that there were things in this world that he could not control, such as death. He wished that his Chengqing could be like his brother, blessed by God and have a miracle happen.
Unfortunately, Chengqing's gradually cold and stiff body clearly told Kangxi that the miracle did not happen again. Kangxi felt that this was God's punishment for him, because he had been given a chance, but the accident still happened again.
In his previous life, Kangxi focused most of his attention on the previous dynasty. Although the death of his offspring made him sad, at that time, the death of children was common, so Kangxi did not pay too much attention to it.
Even though he noticed something strange, the harem at that time was a mixed bag with many forces from all sides, so after weighing the pros and cons, Kangxi could only suppress his sadness and force himself not to alert the enemy.
Not to mention, because Kangxi's children could not be raised at that time, rumors had already spread among the people that he was not the son of destiny, and that he was punished by heaven. Kangxi did not dare to pursue the murderer at this time, which would make things worse.
In the end, Kangxi became numb to the deaths of his children, so he had to find another way. He sent Yinzhi and Yinzhi to be raised in ministers' homes. He did not send his children away again until the situation in the harem became clear.
However, due to Ji Nai's intervention, Kangxi was well aware of the depth of the harem and cleansed it several times. By this time, the palace had become very "clean".
But even so, Chengrui was ruined by the infighting in the harem, but fortunately he managed to save his life in the end, so Kangxi could remain rational and take his time.
However, Chengqing was in trouble again. This was not only a bloody harem fight, but also a repeated challenge to his dignity as an emperor. Therefore, Kangxi was more angry than sad at this moment.
Who would dare to speak at this time? The prince was poisoned, and they, the servants, would be doomed. But they still had hope and did not dare to face the emperor's wrath, for fear of being remembered.
Finally, it was Concubine Hui who reacted. She rushed towards Kangxi and kept shouting, "Your Highness, it's the Queen. It must be the Queen. She killed Chengqing."
"Shut up!" Kangxi stopped Nara from continuing.
Before the matter was clarified, a concubine dared to accuse the queen, which was disrespectful. If the news got out and the queen insisted on severely punishing Nara, even Kangxi could not say anything, after all, the other party was acting according to the palace rules.
Of course, Kangxi was the emperor, and if he really wanted to keep Concubine Hui, he could do it, but it would be untenable and easy to be criticized. So Kangxi stopped Nara because he really cared about her.
