Chapter 776: It would be strange if His Majesty had the interest to touch her (39 reward points plus
"I agree to your request as well."
It is reasonable to be promoted because of raising the royal heir.
With the example of Wang Fei, no one in the previous dynasty would say anything.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Concubine Kang, whose face was covered in tears, and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my decree. From now on, Concubine Kang will be promoted to Concubine Kang, and she will raise the fifth prince. She will be granted a residence..."
The Shangxiang Palace where Concubine Kang now lives is the right side of Changchun Palace. As the main seat of a palace, she naturally has to move out.
Kangpin knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I want to move to Chuxiu Palace. When the fifth prince grows up, I will tell him that this is where his biological mother lived and gave birth to him..."
The most important thing is that Concubine Kang felt that... even if Concubine Hao was gone, as long as the Fifth Prince was still in Chuxiu Palace, her spirit in heaven would always be with the Fifth Prince.
Concubine Hao used her last bit of strength to say, "I hope...I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission..."
Maybe God will show mercy and allow her soul to stay here and watch the fifth prince grow up...
Nangong Xuanyu nodded slightly.
Haopin smiled with relief, slowly closed her eyes, and let her arms fall down weakly...
Until her death, she never got to see her own child...
Chu Er burst into tears and cried bitterly, "My Lady!"
"Your Majesty! I beg you! Please don't leave me, don't abandon the Fifth Prince! Your Majesty..."
However, no matter how Chu'er shouted, Hao Bin, who was lying on the bed, did not respond at all.
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions were somewhat sad, and a complex feeling surged in their hearts...
Nangong Xuanyu was silent for a long time... a long time...
"Pass on my order to bury Concubine Hao with honor."
When he left Chuxiu Palace, his steps were heavy, and his mood was as depressing as the weather outside...
The servants in Chuxiu Palace knelt on the ground, and bursts of sad cries were heard: "Your Majesty..."
"Your servant respectfully sends off Concubine Hao!"
Even those palace concubines who had been jealous of Concubine Hao because of her pregnancy felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.
Things harm their own kind.
Who knows if they will end up like Concubine Hao in the fight for flattery one day...
Although Concubine Hao was gone, she was buried in the imperial mausoleum as the head of a palace, and she was also the biological mother of the fifth prince. Her name was engraved on the imperial jade book, and the fifth prince would always remember her.
Maybe their future ending will be worse than hers...
Chu'er knelt beside Concubine Hao's bed and almost fainted from crying.
Kangpin saw her loyalty to Haopin and couldn't bear it: "...Chu'er, you were the closest person to Haopin when she was alive. She is gone, you have to cheer up..."
The fifth prince is still young.
Although the real murderer who killed Concubine Hao had her reputation ruined, she still held the position of concubine and enjoyed wealth and glory!
Chu'er understood what Kangpin had not yet said.
Under normal circumstances, if a palace maid who has lost her master is not yet old enough to leave the palace, she will return to the Imperial Household Department and wait for reassignment.
Chu Er wiped the tears from her face and knelt down in front of Shen Zhinian: "Please allow me to serve the Fifth Prince beside Concubine Kang after the funeral of Concubine Chen!"
She had promised Her Majesty that she would watch the Fifth Prince grow up for Her Majesty.
She will also wait for the opportunity to take revenge on Concubine Zhuang and do it at all costs!
Although there are many people in the harem who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, there are also many loyal servants.
Shen Zhinian looked at Chu'er and nodded: "I agree."
Chu Er said gratefully: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine Chen!"
Concubine Xue looked at Concubine Hao's lifeless face and sighed heavily in her heart.
Concubine Zhuang...what a sin!
……
Kangpin had to wait until the funeral of Haopin was over before she could officially move into Chuxiu Palace. Before that, she still lived in Shangxiang Palace.
Caiju accompanied Kangpin back.
She could clearly feel that although the queen had risen from a not-so-favored noble to the head of a palace and had the fifth prince by her side, she felt more sad than happy.
Cai Ju didn't know how to comfort Concubine Kang, so she could only say, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hao has fulfilled her last wish. Knowing that you will treat the Fifth Prince well, her spirit in heaven is at peace."
"You... should also be more open-minded."
Kangpin nodded: "The harem... is really a place where people are eaten."
Whether you want to fight or not, you will eventually be drawn into this vortex.
Empress Xue Fei was also in trouble because of her high status. Her mother's family held a large number of troops. She was unable to give birth and had no princes. She never competed for favor, so there were few people who could harm her.
Concubine Kang understood that she was now raising the Fifth Prince, and no matter how old he could live, she would inevitably encounter attacks from both sides in the future.
Cai Ju said firmly: "My lady, no matter how cruel the harem is, I will always accompany you!"
Concubine Kang looked at her, nodded and smiled.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Cai Ju finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "... Madam, Concubine Zhuang has tried to raise other people's children many times but failed. This time she planned to kill Concubine Hao and take her child away."
"If that's the case, why did she secretly reveal this news to Jiang Shuren and Liu Ruyan when she found out you were pregnant, and let them kill your child?"
"You are from Changchun Palace. You were not on guard against Concubine Zhuang at that time. Wouldn't it be easier for her to raise your child?"
Kangpin's hand slowly touched her belly, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "I have thought about this problem countless times. But I am not the worm in Concubine Zhuang's stomach, how can I know what she is planning."
"My final guess is... maybe at that time, Concubine Zhuang still wanted to have a child of her own, so she wanted to get rid of someone else's fetus to clear the way for her future child."
"It's just that every time His Majesty turns over her card, he hardly ever orders water at night. His Majesty has no interest in touching her, so how could she be pregnant? That's why she wants to raise someone else's child."
Cai Ju said angrily, "Forgive me for saying something disrespectful, but Concubine Zhuang is so young, but she spends all day chanting in the Buddhist temple. Her temperament is similar to that of the Empress Dowager. It would be strange if Your Majesty would be interested in touching her."
……
Changchun Palace.
On the way back, Concubine Zhuang and Ruoli were extremely silent.
Suspecting that there was a spy in Changchun Palace, Ruoli entered the main hall and waved everyone to leave. Then he said to Concubine Zhuang, "Your Majesty, today's incident was obviously a conspiracy between Concubine Hao and Concubine Chen, and Doctor Tang, to frame us!"
"I didn't even know when she joined the Imperial Concubine Chen. You were so kind to her before, but she is such an ungrateful person!"
"Humph! She deserves this fate entirely because of herself. You just wanted to protect the fifth prince. What's wrong with that?"
Concubine Zhuang raised her eyelids and glanced at Ruoli: "What you say now is meaningless."
Her mistake was that she trusted Concubine Hao too much. She never imagined that she had betrayed her in secret.
