Chapter 142: Unable to Give Birth to a Son, Changing a Wife

After Zhang Jia left, the first wife retracted her gaze and said, "Mother must be very worried in the Old Summer Palace. You should go back first."

Yinzhi's tone was a little hesitant, "But you just gave birth, I'm worried--"

"Don't worry. I've given birth several times before, so I'm very experienced. The maids and nurses were all carefully selected by you, so nothing will go wrong. Right now, mother is the most important thing. If she is found guilty, I'm afraid there will be no chance of recovery."

With her patient persuasion, Yinzhi had breakfast with her in Zhongcui Palace and then rode back to Yuanmingyuan on a fast horse.

As soon as he returned to the Old Summer Palace, he went straight to Kangxi's residence and personally reported the good news again.

The eldest son had a legitimate son, and Kangxi's mood, which had been affected by Concubine Hui, improved a little. "Your wife has worked hard, why did you come back so soon?"

Yinzhi looked a little hesitant, then he clasped his fists and spoke slowly, "Father, my mother..."

As soon as he said this, Kangxi guessed what he was going to say next and immediately reached out his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Your mother did something wrong, so she should be punished. There is no need to ask for mercy. I know what is going on. However, your mother doesn't know the good news yet. I allow you to go and tell her in person."

After saying that, he picked up the memorial on the table and saw that it was obviously about chasing someone away. Yinzhi had no choice but to say goodbye.

Although I can't beg for mercy, it's good to be able to see my mother.

When Yinzhi left, Concubine Hui was leaning against the head of the bed in a daze.

All the original servants in the courtyard were taken away for interrogation. The newcomers did not serve attentively and just delivered the meal and left.

At noon, Concubine Hui's hair was still messy as it was last night. Her face and neck were covered with red and swollen slap marks and bleeding scars. She had simply applied some medicine.

"Mother——"

The guards would not let him enter the room, so Yinzhi had to call for help through the window.

Concubine Hui looked towards the bedside as if awakened from a dream, then stumbled over and said, "Yinzhi, you're here."

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she was filled with panic and grievance.

"Mother, why are you being bullied like this?"

Concubine Hui cried softly, shook her head slowly, and recounted the details of what happened yesterday in even greater detail than the eunuch who came to deliver the letter in the morning.

"In short, my mother said something wrong without restraint. I'm afraid she's going to be in trouble this time—"

As she spoke, she seemed to think of the punishment and fate she would suffer after her past deeds were discovered, and her crying became even more miserable.

"Mother, I just went to see the Emperor, but he wouldn't let me plead for mercy. I don't know what to do."

"Don't even mention begging for mercy. Even if you, Guo Luomafa, use the military power as a bargaining chip, there is nothing I can do. But His Majesty will definitely not kill me."

There was hopelessness and sorrow in her voice. She rolled her eyes and lowered her voice to continue, "Now I just hope that your wife is useful and can give birth to a legitimate son to suppress the crown prince. Now the crown prince is under house arrest and has lost the emperor's favor. If you perform well, you may be able to take his position as crown prince in the future."

"When you ascend the throne, my mother will have finally gotten over it."

Concubine Hui held Yinzhi's hand tightly through the window, her eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Yinzhi was just about to tell her that he already had a legitimate son, but suddenly heard Concubine Hui change the subject with a bit of complaint on her face, "But if your wife still can't have a baby this time, you should think of other ways."

Yinzhi felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, mother?"

Concubine Hui looked at him with an expression that said, "You're probably a fool." "She's not pregnant, so find someone who is. Zhang Jia's family background is not low either, so she's good enough to be your wife. If you don't like her, then choose another one from the ministers' legitimate daughters."

"What about Nichang? She and my son have been married since they were young."

Nichang was the maiden name of the eldest wife.

"Of course we have to do what we have to do. Mother knows that you truly respect her, but you can't let these personal affairs hinder your future."

When mentioning the First Wife, Concubine Hui's face was full of dislike, having already forgotten that it was she who had people secretly talk to them several times before bringing the two together.

Although the matchmaking was also based on the first wife's family background, it still took many active requests before it was successful.

Although she did not say specifically what she was going to do to the First Wife, Yinzhi already knew it in his heart, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

In a royal marriage, the wife cannot be divorced at will unless she has committed a grave fault. So there is only one way...but he is unwilling to do it no matter what.

He had been here too long, and the eunuch guarding the gate came to urge him to leave.

Yinzhi slowly stood up, the eagerness and distress in his eyes no longer existed, "Mother, Nichang gave birth to a legitimate son for me last night. You have got what you wished for. Please do not torture her in private anymore."

But... there shouldn't be any chance to torture me anymore.

After saying that, without waiting for Concubine Hui's reaction, he walked out of Tongling Garden without looking back. Concubine Hui's laughter could be vaguely heard behind him...

This night, at the same time as last night.

In Hanhui Tower, Qixi successfully transformed into a new bracelet.

When he returned to Xiyu's wrist, he found that there was already another bracelet there.

She actually bought another bracelet behind his back!

"Humph!"

He snorted softly, raised his tail and angrily shook the butterfly tassels below. The ethereal and pleasant collision sounds between the butterflies were particularly abrupt in the silent night.

He was so frightened that he dared not move, and immediately transformed into a simpler style - a plain silver bracelet without any patterns, staying obediently on Xiyu's wrist.

The style is more matching...

He left the brocade box, and inside the box there was a fake snake that he had cast an illusion on.

When she woke up in the morning, Xiyu felt a different weight on her wrist than usual. She raised her wrist, lowered her eyes to look at him, and raised her eyebrows in understanding.

At the dinner table, Xiyu sat up, holding her belly, and pushed the brocade box in her hand in front of Yinzhen.

"Master~" she called softly.

Because he felt a little guilty, his voice was soft and gentle.

Yinzhen paused while picking up the food, and turned his head slightly to look at her, his voice a little hoarse from waking up in the morning, "Don't act like a spoiled child."

"No spoiled."

Xiyu extended her index finger again, and didn't stop until she pushed the brocade box to Yinzhen's plate. "I want to tell you something."

Yinzhen's eyes fell on the brocade box and he raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning her to speak.

"That's right... I just happened to pick up a little snake before, and I thought it was cute, so I kept it and didn't tell anyone. But just now when Qiu Xu was helping me tidy up the dressing table, she told me that this snake is poisonous, and I'm afraid it might hurt the child by accident. Can you help me take it to the wild and release it~"

She put on a complete show and she did show Qiu Xu the brocade box intentionally or unintentionally in the morning.

Hearing Fu Jin's words, Chun Shi and the others who were serving her were stunned.

There was such a dangerous thing appearing next to Fu Jin. They all deserve to die.
