Zhang Tingyu's judgment was indeed correct. Kangxi is becoming more and more suspicious now. Not to mention these ministers, even his own son has to make plans.

Kangxi, who was so talented and arrogant back then, has long gone forever, but now he is just an old emperor who is good at means.

After asking about the arrangements of various departments in the central government, Kangxi asked Zhang Tingyu to speed up the tax work in various places. Zhang Tingyu did not dare to say anything more. With the loss of Jiangnan, the taxes in various places became heavier, but the military expenditure in the central government was getting bigger and bigger, and now it was already ineffective. If it weren't for the recovery of the owed silver by the Ministry of Revenue, it would have been supportive for some time, otherwise this company would have no way to be a company.

"I know, I will do it according to the emperor's wishes." Zhang Tingyu replied.

After saying something, Kangxi seemed to be in a much better mood. Perhaps he found the feeling of having a word in Zhang Tingyu again.

Just as Kangxi was about to continue saying something, a eunuch came to report that the Liang Concubine had specially sent some food.

"What are she doing?" Kangxi immediately felt his old face sank when he heard the concubine.

This Liangfei is no other person, but the biological mother of the Eighth Prince. Liangfei's surname is Wei, and her father is Baoyi Nu, a prince under Zhenghuang. When he entered the palace, he was just a very ordinary palace maid.

The specific situation of Liang Fei was attracted by Kangxi was roughly that one day, Kangxi came to the scene and was pleased with a palace maid. Who would have thought that Liang Fei became pregnant after just one spring breeze, and then gave birth to a prince in ten months. This prince was the later eighth prince and the current prince.

It is precisely for this reason that Kangxi has always been displeased with the Eighth Prince, although it is good on the surface, but he is always disliked. The key is the origin of the Liang Concubine.

Liang Fei was born into a treasury leader. To put it bluntly, this position was to take care of the emperor's money to see the warehouse. This position is a low-ranking position and is looked down upon by others. Moreover, Liang Fei was only the lowest-level palace maid after entering the palace. With such an identity, he became the prince's mother. Kangxi felt embarrassed to say this.

In fact, history often has similarities. There was a famous emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and this emperor was Zhu Youzhang, the Ming Emperor, who was known as Zhongxing Renjun and Ming wise ruler in Ming history.

Zhu Youting's biological mother was the daughter of the chieftain. After being captured, she went to the palace to guard the warehouse for Emperor Xianzong. Because Emperor Xianzong fell in love with this girl while inspecting the inner treasury, Chunfeng once had Zhu Youting.

After getting pregnant with Zhu Youtang, in order to avoid the persecution of Concubine Wei at that time, the girl experienced several life and death in the palace. Even after Zhu Youtang was born, she was gradually grown up under the secret care of the eunuchs in the harem, and eventually became the crown prince and the emperor...

In fact, in the Eighth Prince's heart, perhaps he also felt that his life experience was similar to that of this famous benevolent king, so he was always called the wise king when he was a prince.

But Kangxi is different from Xianzong. Compared with Xianzong's overjoyed when he learned that he had a son, Kangxi had two attitudes towards the Eighth Prince and his biological mother, Liang Feifei. On the surface, it seemed good, but in fact it was extremely disgusted. This is also an important reason why he has always been unwilling to let the Eighth Prince be the crown prince.

The position of Liang Concubine was a barely conferred title until Kangxi had no choice but to be forced to be granted. At that time, the Eighth Prince was already a prince, and his biological mother was not a prince. This is unreasonable.

But even so, Kangxi only granted an ordinary Liang Concubine to Wei. After the Eighth Prince became the crown prince, it was logical that Liang Concubine should be promoted to the imperial concubine, but Kangxi did not do anything and just chose to forget this matter. Therefore, Liang Concubine was an anomaly in the palace. She was born as a concubine, which was unique in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Liang Fei is kind by nature, weak and never fights. Although she is the mother of the crown prince, she is not a concubine, and she has never complained about anything. But she also knows in her heart that although the eighth prince was the crown prince, she never likes Kangxi. This makes Liang Fei feel uneasy and always wants to do something for her son and husband. Therefore, Liang Fei knows that Kangxi has a bad appetite these days, so she made millet porridge and brought it to Kangxi.

When Kangxi heard the eunuch's return, he felt even more irritable. This Liangfei really didn't know the importance of it. What millet porridge is made? His bad appetite is just annoying to her son. Don't she know?

However, when Zhang Tingyu was there, Kangxi was not angry, so he immediately asked the eunuch to let Liangfei come in. He originally planned to ask Liangfei to put down the things and leave directly. Who would have thought that after Liangfei saw Kangxi, he took the initiative to raise porridge for Kangxi, and persuaded Kangxi not to work too much in state affairs, pay attention to rest and health care.

Hearing this, Kangxi's face became darker and darker. He didn't like the good concubine at all, and now he was nagging so much that he couldn't help but start to get angry immediately.

First, he stopped Liang Fei's actions, and then Kangxi scolded Liang Fei for interfering in politics in the future, so he asked someone to take Liang Fei back to the palace immediately and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

After hearing this, Liang Fei was shocked. She never expected that her kindness would be like this. When Mu's lazy Liang Fei was taken down, her face was full of sadness and sadness. Zhang Tingyu, who was standing beside her, felt a little sad, but she couldn't say anything. She could only look at her nose and her nose, as if nothing had happened.

Unexpectedly, he scolded Liang Concubine for no reason. After Liang Concubine was taken away, Kangxi felt a little regretful. He was not regretting the scolding, but regretting that he had lost his attitude in front of his ministers.

Next, he was not in the mood to continue discussing matters with Zhang Tingyu. After chatting a few more casually, Zhang Tingyu, who was tactful, knelt down and said goodbye.

This seemed just a small matter, but it was a big matter for Liang Fei. Not long after being taken back to his palace for care, Liang Fei fell ill. Later, although an imperial physician came to see him and prescribed medicine, Liang Fei not only did not recover after taking the medicine, but his condition became worse and worse. After just a few days, Liang Fei was unconscious and became even more sick and detached.

When he learned that his mother was seriously ill, the Eighth Prince rushed to visit him from the East Palace. Seeing Liang Fei like this, the Eighth Prince was heartbroken. He personally guarded his mother and looked after him carefully, hoping that his mother would wake up as soon as possible. But who would think that Liang Fei's illness had not been cured at all, and no matter what medicine it was, it would not work.

The Eighth Prince quickly learned the cause and effect of Concubine Liang. Looking at her mother who was still unconscious, the Eighth Prince felt anger burning in her heart. After waiting for five days, Concubine Liang finally woke up, but she woke up at this time, not because she was cured of the disease, but finally she looked back and reflected.

Seeing her son beside her, Liang Fei's red face showed a maternal smile. She stretched out her hand to hold on to the Eighth Prince, gently called the Eighth Prince's nickname, and still reminded the Eighth Prince to be the crown prince, be filial to Kangxi, and never let down the hopes of herself and his emperor...

Faced with all this, the Eighth Prince could only cry and nodded silently. Not long after, Liang Fei fell into a coma again. This time she was unconscious, she never woke up again. When the sun rose from the east in the early morning the next morning, the woman left the world.

Dragging his extremely tired body, with endless sadness and anger in his heart, the eighth prince walked out of his mother's palace staggeringly, looking up at the direction of the Ganqing Palace, clenched his fists, and dripping blood oozed out of his fingertips.
