Chapter 107 The Emperor Who Didn't Act Like a Human

Because of the Emperor's instruction, Yehenara announced that her daughter was pregnant with twins, and now it is said both inside and outside the palace that the Qing Emperor has been blessed by Heaven and given this auspicious sign.

Because of this, Emperor Kangxi actually came to reprimand Fanghua, implying that he hoped the two children would be born safely.

The fleeting beauty of youth was inexplicable, yet it also made me laugh in exasperation.

She never intended to harm Yehenara, after all, she knew what kind of child Yehenara was carrying.

She was very unhappy about being threatened like this.

"Hmph, Your Majesty's words make it sound like I'm a jealous woman. I'm innocent!" Fanghua's face was very unpleasant, but her words still carried a hint of coquettishness.

Her eyes were also filled with tears. "Does Your Majesty think that I would harm Consort De's unborn children out of jealousy that she is pregnant with twins? In Your Majesty's eyes, am I so intolerant of others?"

That scoundrel, he's perfect.

She had originally wanted to give him more children, but now it seems she has to cut off his future, so he won't just do nothing but think about having kids all day.

Although it is said that having many children brings good fortune, having many sons does not necessarily bring him good fortune.

There can only be one throne, and for the sake of her son's peace, she should remove any obstacles for him.

When Kangxi saw the Empress crying her eyes out because of his words, he immediately felt sorry for her. "What are you saying, Fang'er? That's not what I meant at all. My Empress is the most virtuous and kind woman. How could she do such a dirty thing?"

“If the Empress cannot tolerate others, then there is no one left in the world who can tolerate others. Fang’er, what I mean is that you should take better care of Yehenara. She is a stubborn person, and I don’t want the twins to get into trouble because of her.”

After all, the Qing Dynasty had to seize this auspicious omen, as the previous dynasty was still eyeing them covetously and they couldn't allow others to take advantage of it.

He often thought how wonderful it would be if the empress were pregnant with twins. Alas.

Fanghua wouldn't listen to his explanation. He clearly didn't speak like that when he came. Haha, his face really changes quickly.

"Since His Majesty has said so, how can I refuse?" Fanghua said outwardly, but inwardly she was cursing Kangxi to the core.

It's true what they say: a man's words are enough to make a woman run herself ragged.

With just a simple wish to ensure the safety of her and her child, all the responsibility fell on her, the empress.

"Fang'er, I know you've been wronged, but don't worry, I will make it up to you after the child is born." Kangxi wasn't blind; he could see the Empress's displeasure.

All he can do is try to compensate as much as possible.

"Your Majesty is too kind. Consort De's child will call me Empress Mother when he is born. It is my duty to protect them, mother and child."

Does she need compensation?

snort.

That sounds nice, but if she can't give birth, she'll be the one to take the blame.

"However, Your Majesty, as a woman, I can understand some of Consort De's feelings. I'm just afraid she might not trust me. Your Majesty will have to talk to Consort De about this."

She tried to be a good person but ended up being criticized; she wouldn't do that.

"Yes, I will inform Consort De. Fang'er, thank you for your hard work."

Fanghua pouted. "If you know you've worked hard, why don't you make it up to me with something? You're just all talk and empty words. Thank you."

Fanghua never expected Kangxi to be so cunning. Now she's just waiting for the woman in Jingyang Palace to make her decision. If she refuses, Fanghua will be more satisfied.

The next day, Fanghua waited and waited but did not receive any news of Jingyang Palace's refusal. She couldn't help but take people to Jingyang Palace.

Looking at the person lying on the bed, Fanghua wanted to curse them to death in her heart.

She's really making trouble for herself. If she had known it would be pushed onto her, she wouldn't have let Granny Zhang start so quickly.

They're just asking for trouble.

"This humble servant is unwell and unable to get out of bed to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress. Please forgive me," said Consort De, smiling respectfully, to Her Majesty the Empress standing before her bed.

Fanghua looked helpless. Could she possibly give birth to the baby safely in this state?

"No need for such formalities, Consort De, you've already suffered a miscarriage." Fanghua raised her hand. "His Majesty has entrusted your life, mother and child, to me. Is Consort De aware of this?"

Not one to engage in excessive social interaction, Fanghua spoke frankly and directly.

Consort De was also surprised by the Empress's directness. Although she did not know what the Empress meant, she still smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, I understand. Thank you for your trouble."

Seeing her like this, Fanghua knew that she had accepted the emperor's suggestion. Ha, she's quite bold.

In the time it took to say a few words, the palace servants had already brought a chair for the Empress.

Upon hearing this, Fanghua sat down with peace of mind. "Very well then. I won't waste any more words with you. Although I don't know why you started bleeding so soon after becoming pregnant, I still have to say, don't do anything reckless. If you do, I won't be able to protect your child."

The sound wasn't loud, but the person who served him personally still heard it.

Granny Ye was greatly alarmed. She knew that the Empress was not simple, but she did not expect her to be this extraordinary. She just didn't know how much the Empress knew.

Suddenly, Granny Ye felt a chill run through her entire body.

"This humble servant does not know what Your Highness means, but this humble servant will obey Your Highness in everything." Yehenara's heart also tightened, but would she admit it?

Of course not.

No matter who she's facing, she always says the same thing: she fell after going out.

"If you really listen to me, that would save you a lot of trouble," Fanghua said meaningfully. "In that case, I will arrange for a trustworthy imperial physician to stay in your palace, and you can leave all matters related to your pregnancy to him."

She trusted the imperial physicians, but she didn't trust Yehenara, who was the most cunning of all the women in the palace.

"Of course, if you want to die, I don't mind sending you on your way. After all, no matter what, your Yehenara clan can't shake my position as Empress."

Fanghua showed no mercy to Yehenara, her words were full of warnings.

"Although I am not as virtuous and gentle as the rumors suggest, I am still more magnanimous than the wives in the inner palace. You can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. If you need anything, you can have the palace servants come to me."

After giving her a warning, Fanghua made her stance clear.

"Oh, right, let me introduce you." Fanghua then waved her hand, signaling the imperial physician who had come with her to step forward.

"This is Physician Wen, and this is Physician Hua. Both are experts in the care of pregnant women. I hope you will heed their advice."

The two imperial physicians summoned by the Empress stepped forward to pay their respects to Consort De.

"Your subject has met with Noble Person De. May you be blessed with good fortune."

Yehenara clan members did not dare to act arrogantly. When the emperor came to talk to her about this matter yesterday, her instinct was to refuse.

Fortunately, Granny Ye stopped her and prevented her from refusing in front of the Emperor.

But he didn't agree, only saying he would consider it.

The emperor looked very upset, but she couldn't do anything about it; she didn't trust the empress.

After the Emperor left, she angrily questioned Granny Ye, but after listening to Granny Ye's analysis, she finally calmed down.

That's why we have the peace and the opportunity to negotiate with the Empress today.

"Get up. I'll be relying on you two imperial physicians from now on." Although she didn't know whose people these two were working for, she believed that the Empress would not lie about this matter.
