The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 166: What’s the point of keeping a useless person?
The emperor didn't need to go to court for the time being. He was in Qianqing Palace. Hearing the news that Concubine Li was ill, he stopped handling court affairs and hurried to Qixiang Palace.

The queen also got the news. The queen only thought for a while and said, "Go and pick up some medicinal materials. Let's go and take a look too!"

Although the illness of a little concubine was not worthy of a special trip to Qixiang Palace as a queen, the emperor went to see her.

The queen has always followed the emperor's footsteps.

It doesn't matter if you condescend your dignity for a while.

Concubine Li is the emperor's old love for many years, and now it seems that this old love still holds the same weight. The queen lowered her eyebrows. Fortunately, Concubine Li would not give birth.

Moreover, she is a woman born in Hanjun Banner.

A woman born in the Han Army Banner is not noble enough; to the queen, she is not that big of a threat.

Yuan Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

I went to visit a concubine and picked up some medicinal materials. It couldn't be cheaper and could be prepared in no time. It is easiest to pick up some commonly used and expensive ones.

Both the emperor and the empress moved, and the concubines in the harem did not dare to move, so they all went to Qixiang Palace. The only ones who did not go to Qixiang Palace were the Yongshou Palace Concubine Niu Hulu and Qinrou.

When the queen's phoenix arrived at Qixiang Palace, the emperor's remaining years had already taken their seats in Qixiang Palace. The concubines from the Sixth Palace in the West of the harem had gradually arrived. Only those in the Sixth Palace in the East were far away and had not yet arrived. Can make it.

Concubine Li has a better personality. She is not the only concubine who lives in the entire Qixiang Palace. But Concubine Li is a good person, and it is impossible to share favors with her on weekdays!

But he doesn't hesitate to extend favors. Moreover, she has always been favored by the Holy Spirit, and the concubines in Qixiang Palace have all benefited from her.

All in all, various reasons. Concubine Li's illness was too desolate. At least now, when I am lingering on the sick bed, I have concubines and concubines accompanying me beside the bed. It doesn't look too desolate.

The imperial physician's pace was not fast, coming and going again and again, but it took time for the news to spread. When Kangxi arrived at Qixiang Palace, the imperial physician was one step ahead and was already diagnosing the pulse in front of Concubine Li's bed.

Concubine Li's illness came very quickly. At first she just felt a fever on her forehead, but within half an hour, her forehead started to feel hot.

The servants who served brought cold water and began to do physical cooling. If that didn't work, he quickly went to Kunning Palace to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look.

They were not worried about not being able to find an imperial doctor. The concubines were always favored, and the queen was very virtuous. If the emperor liked it, even if the queen didn't like it, she would pretend to like it and take care of her to a certain extent.

The imperial doctors did not dare not to serve him attentively.

The news in the East Wing Palace quickly spread throughout Qixiang Palace. Concubines who lived in other palaces in Qixiang Palace also rushed over. Whether they were really helping or pretending to help, it seemed that Concubine Li was really busy here. , then he quickly ordered the minions around him to act together.

As for themselves, they were not idle either. There were also people sitting aside to help pass handkerchiefs and other things.

Everyone is anxious, no matter how anxious it is. It has to be said that because Concubine Li was favored, their lives in the transparent world were much easier. Because of the close relationship with Concubine Li who lived in the same palace.

And they have never shown themselves not to drink.

Unlike Chengqian Palace, Concubine Nala is really unruly. Every concubine in the harem, no matter which palace she lives in, has no face, although she will not deliberately bully anyone.

But for the concubines, the fact that they are not easy to get along with is the biggest disgrace.

Therefore, it concerns my personal interests, and they really hope that Concubine Li will get better. Giving someone a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in the hand; it is easy to add flowers to a cake, but difficult to give charcoal when the time is right. They also wanted to use this to ask Concubine Li to remember their feelings. It has always been difficult to repay personal debts.

Concubine Li has always been favored. News of her illness will reach the emperor's ears sooner or later, and the emperor will have to send a servant to take a look.

If they can leave a small impression in the emperor's mind, even if they don't ask for favors, as long as they get along well with Concubine Li, in the future, even if this harmony is hindered by the emperor's eyes, Concubine Li will still favor them.

Therefore, they cannot be said to be unsatisfied.

This is how people get along with each other. Almost every relationship is made after careful consideration. This is also why there is a saying that people are well-matched, because people are good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. People first love themselves, and then they know how to love others.

Regardless of the reason, the concubines and concubines in Qixiang Palace were in harmony.

The queen didn't just do the job perfunctorily, and she ordered her servants to hire the imperial doctors. They were not unknown people, but they had real skills. Last winter, it was the two of them who checked the pulses of the concubines.

The queen should be generous and virtuous. After taking ninety-nine steps, you will not be blamed at the last step.

The emperor's chariot stopped at Qixiang Palace and headed to the east side hall. Li Dequan was waiting beside him and he quickly followed.

"Your Majesty has arrived..." Li Dequan fulfilled his power and responsibilities. Before Kangxi arrived in person, he had already cleared the way and informed the concubines and slaves to greet him.

Hearing this, all the servants and imperial doctors in the East Wing Palace put aside what they were doing and knelt down to greet him. "Welcome your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Concubine Li, who still had a faint remnant of consciousness on the bed, also used her confused brain to hear this extremely symbolic announcement. Finally, I fainted with relief.

The emperor's face was cold as he stepped into the East Wing Hall and immediately saw Concubine Li lying on the bed. His eyes only glanced at the servants.

"How is Concubine Li?" the emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, the concubine's fever suddenly broke out and spread rapidly. It needs to be cooled down as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be danger to her life." The two imperial doctors did not want to take responsibility and did not tell the truth. It would not be more serious. Impossible.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and this is the emperor's favorite concubine. If it comes to the final situation, they at least have to protect themselves from being implicated.

Naturally, the two imperial doctors were not being alarmist. Given the intensity of the fever, if the fever did not subside, death would not be impossible. After a long time, even if the person is not dead, he may be burned into a fool.

Kangxi glanced over with a sharp eye and asked: "Then if you don't hurry up and get treatment, what are you doing here? Waiting for Li's fever to go away automatically?"

Then what should the imperial doctors do? What's the use of keeping useless people? It's better to kill them.

"I obey the order." The two imperial doctors were not stupid. They also felt the unkindness in the emperor's words and did not dare to make any unnecessary moves at this time.

Concubine Li's personal maid felt even more relieved when she saw this.

If the emperor doesn't come, she, a slave, may not be able to suppress the hard work of the imperial doctors. Now that the emperor is here, with the emperor's pressure, the imperial doctors will have to show a performance of 120 percent even if they only have a score of 100 percent. .

She can completely relax.

No need to worry anymore that the concubine will ask these dog slaves to assassinate her!

Watching the two imperial doctors continue to diagnose and discuss quickly, Zhichun secretly commented.
