"Many people were dozing off at that time. Those who took care of the children were all waiting around the children." Cuiying said: "The place where Brother Eight went, there was nothing else but a basin for scrubbing. That basin was the child's wet nurse.

Used."

After saying that, Cuiying bravely whispered: "Fu Jin, generally speaking, wet nurses from wealthy families will wipe their bodies first before feeding their children to ensure that the children are clean before feeding, so as to avoid being too dirty.

Dirty the child’s mouth again.”

In other words, if something is added to the basin where the wet nurse is scrubbing, the child may be exposed to the poisonous skin when sucking milk, and if swallowed along with the milk, the child may be poisoned.

Luo Jianing: "Did everything happen to the wet nurse afterwards?"

"If there is nothing wrong with her, I don't need to mention this. When I was chatting with them, I asked about many details, but I chose this to talk to Fujin. Of course I have a slave's reason."

After explaining, Cuiying couldn't help but take a few steps closer to Fujin, and then lowered her voice: "The wet nurse's skin was itchy, red and swollen for a day, but she was fine. The child was not in good condition at the time, and no one noticed her.

.Only a rough little eunuch who was helping her wash clothes saw her and asked a few questions with concern. However,

Since the death of the child, there has been a rumor in my brother's office that the child who dies will turn into a ghost, haunt the person closest to him before death, and take that person away with him. The wet nurse was so frightened by this rumor that she could not sleep peacefully.

He often screams in nightmares, and was beaten up by the 10th Prince and kicked out. Now he is nowhere to be found."

The more Luo Jianing thought about it, the colder her heart became.

Everyone knows that the son of the 10th Prince was born at the wrong time. If his eldest son were alive, he would be very bad to the 10th Prince.

After all, after the daughter of the Mongolian prince married, she found that the concubine had already given birth to an eldest son, and she couldn't explain it.

The Tenth Prince must have known it very well, so after the marriage was confirmed, he suddenly changed his temper and became depressed.

Emperor Kangxi and the Queen Mother were still soft-hearted after all. Neither of them was so cruel. They did not want to remove the fetus before, and they did not murder a newborn baby afterward.

In this case, the existence of the eldest son of the ten princes becomes a hidden danger.

However, the children were all born. But Brother Eight took action to get rid of the children...

And the most important thing is that the evidence should have been destroyed long ago.

Several days had passed since the incident, and the basin of water used by the child's wet nurse had been poured out long ago. Presumably, the basin had also been cleaned quietly by someone afterwards, and there is no evidence at all.

I have to say that Brother Eight did a very "beautiful" job.

Outsiders didn't know that he did this, but Emperor Kangxi must have known it in his heart.

There was basically nothing that could be hidden from Emperor Kangxi in this palace.

After the eighth prince did this decisively, the emperor obviously admired the eighth prince very much recently and was very partial to the eighth prince.

but--

Luo Jianing was always a little confused.

After the fourth elder brother returned to the house, Luo Jianing took advantage of the fact that they were alone and asked Yinzhen quietly: "Does Huang Ama really love the eighth elder brother?"

Why does she always feel weird?

With Emperor Kangxi's temperament, he was able to be emperor for so many years, and he was naturally decisive and resolute. If he really wanted to harm the child, he would have done it before the child was born.

If he didn't take action, it meant he decided to keep the child alive.

Since he decided to keep the child, he would not be truly happy if the Eighth Prince attacked the child afterwards.

Therefore, Luo Jianing feels that the current situation in which Emperor Kangxi loves his eighth prince is a bit unbelievable.

After hearing Si Fujin's analysis, Yinzhen was quite shocked. He did not expect that his little wife could think of such a profound issue.

Yinzhen pondered for a long time and then spoke slowly: "Actually, Huang Ama would not harm a child or a fetus easily. Huang Ama suffered too much pain back then, and he didn't want his children to suffer like this.

kind of pain."

Emperor Kangxi once had the experience of many children dying in infancy, and also experienced the pain of many children being stillborn before they were born.

Comparing himself with his own feelings, he didn't want his children to face this pain.

Luo Jianing thought about it and realized that these words made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

She thought that there was a reason why Emperor Kangxi liked Yinzhen.

At least, this son understands him very well.

After the death of the tenth prince's son, there was another person in the palace who became anxious and couldn't sit still.

That is Brother Nine.

Brother Ninth was extremely anxious.

His two concubines were pregnant one after another. Without his legitimate son Fujin, it was difficult to guarantee what would happen if the two children were born.

Brother Jiu wanted to ask Concubine Yi to urge the Dong E family to marry their daughter as soon as possible.

But when Dong E's family was anxious before, he was not anxious. Now that he is anxious, the other party is calm and unwilling to advance the wedding date.

The two sides are completely at odds.

Brother Jiu was so anxious that there were bubbles on his lips, and he couldn't help complaining to Si Fujin: "Look at my mother-in-law, she can make Dong E's family get rid of two princesses by just letting go and persuading Huang Ama.

Marry her early. But she refuses. Tell me, what should I do if there is a boy among my two children?"

Luo Jianing didn't expect Brother Jiu to think so, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with a boy?"

The tenth prince has the eldest son of a concubine. The biggest problem is that the future Shifujin will be the daughter of a prince from a foreign vassal.

But Brother Ninth's situation was different.

Ninth Prince’s direct descendant Fujin is the daughter of Dong E’s family.

The previous little Dong E from Jiufujin did something wrong, and the Dong E family was disgraced, so they married Er Gege instead.

That matter was originally caused by something wrong with the daughter of the Dong E family. Therefore, even if Brother Jiu's concubine gave birth to a son, the Dong E family should not be angry and could only swallow their anger.

In this case, Luo Jianing really doesn't understand why Brother Jiu is so nervous?

"You don't understand. Huang Ama always does things neatly..." Brother Jiu paused in the middle of his words and did not continue.

Luo Jianing understood.

It turned out that the ninth elder brother was speculating that the matter of the tenth elder brother's concubine's eldest son was caused by Emperor Kangxi.

If that's what he guessed, then it's very likely that Brother Ten also thinks the same.

Luo Jianing couldn't help but admire the eighth prince's cleverness in guiding his brothers to think in this direction.

Unfortunately there is no evidence now.

Even if the Eighth Prince had done something, without any physical evidence, nothing could be said about the Eighth Prince.

Luo Jianing could only advise: "Huang Ama is not such a cruel person, you don't need to think too scary about Huang Ama."

Brother Jiu said "yes", but in fact the sad look on his face revealed that he didn't believe a word of what Luo Jianing said.

Luo Jianing was helpless.

She knew that the friendship between her and Brother Jiu might soon disappear.

Also, everyone has grown up, and each has its own position and worries. It is natural that we gradually no longer trust each other.

Perhaps it was because the eldest son of the eldest concubine of the 10th prince died in less than ten days, so in November and February, when the two pregnant concubines of the 9th prince were about to give birth, everyone was so nervous that they mentioned it.

Heart.

The arrival of the two children attracted the attention of everyone in the palace.

No one wants these two children to be boys.

Fujin gave birth to his eldest son before he was born. No matter what kind of family his in-laws were, their family would not be able to accept this kind of thing.

Luo Jianing understood as soon as she saw everyone's tense state that those in the palace might have thought that Emperor Kangxi secretly got rid of the eldest son of the tenth prince's concubine.

She had some sympathy for Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi himself had lost so many children, so he certainly did not want anything to happen to his grandchildren. When facing his children, he always had goodwill.

But because he was calm and assertive in his days, and his imperial aura was very martial, the people in the harem began to speculate on him as a "ferocious spirit".

On the other hand, the eighth elder brother is as gentle as jade on weekdays, and his smile is like the spring breeze blowing on his face, but people will not think that he is cruel or ruthless.

If others knew that the eldest son of the tenth elder brother was not the hand of Emperor Kangxi, they would naturally not worry about the two children of the ninth elder brother.

But they don't know.

Luo Jianing was not worried about the safety of the two children, so when she saw this situation, she just sighed softly and could not help Emperor Kangxi to argue.

Of these two children, one was born in mid-November and the other in early December.

They are both daughters, two concubines.

Everyone was very happy.

The atmosphere in the harem suddenly became relaxed.

Even Brother Ninth couldn't help but burst into joy after having two daughters. He, who always looked a little proud and a little pretentious, changed his usual calm demeanor and spent his own money to arrange several shopping malls in a row.

day banquet.

This matter made even the wise Emperor Kangxi feel a little confused.
