The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 421 The Queen Goes to Chengqian Palace
Imperial Physician Wang felt the patient's pulse again, but his brows were still furrowed, and the pulse was still not very peaceful. Looking at the pulse, he was afraid that the patient might relapse.

It was already past morning. The emperor was still guarding in Zhenshunzhai, so Wang the imperial physician could only report truthfully.

Sick people sleep a lot. Qin Rou took the medicine while half asleep and half awake, and then continued to sleep. Maybe it wasn't that serious, and her body wasn't too tired, so she slept more peacefully.

Kangxi sat beside the bed, looking at the weak person lying on the bed, so weak that he looked harmless. He was so obedient that Kangxi even showed some panic.

He stretched out his big hand and touched her head. The heat on her forehead was still hotter than that of an ordinary person. Or, it was still a little bit warm, and it took a long time to dissipate.

"Since there are signs of recurrence, you should continue to guard here!" The emperor ordered. Whether it is rules or not, her body should be the priority.

"Your servants obey your orders." Several imperial physicians obeyed the orders. Wang Yuyi was the director of the Imperial Hospital. To him, the concubine's illness was both difficult and not that difficult. As long as the fever could be reduced, he could basically give his orders.

He naturally didn't want to stay in Zhenshunzhai, but since the emperor had given the order, Wang Yuyi would not have any other thoughts. After all, isn't the imperial physician supposed to serve the royal family?
The emperor's intention is important.

As he pondered, Wang Yuyi thought of one more thing. As imperial physicians, they always had to advise and remind him. This was their loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the country, and loyalty to the master. Wang Yuyi said, "Your Majesty has been up all morning. Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

Imperial Physician Wang thought that if Kangxi wanted to rest, he would not do so in Zhenshunzhai! After all, there was only one bed in Zhenshunzhai, and Concubine Nala was lying on it right now? Whether he went to another concubine's palace or returned to Qianqing Palace, he would at least leave Chengqian Palace and Zhenshunzhai, and it would be his merit if he did not let the emperor get sick.

Kangxi was full of energy and spirit, and did not feel the need to rest. He was a little hungry, so he said, "I will go to the side hall to eat."

I didn't have any meals early in the morning, so I relaxed a little and finally felt hungry.

"Yes! I will order the meal to be served right away." Li Dequan said happily before the imperial physician said anything. The emperor finally had his meal. As for whether to eat in the side hall of Zhenshunzhai, then he can eat in the side hall of Zhenshunzhai!
The emperor finally freed up his mind and was willing to eat, which was better than anything else. The time for breakfast was when the concubine was in danger. Li De was the chief steward of the emperor, so naturally he took Kangxi's health as the priority.

So, while smoking in the gap, he naturally asked Kangxi to eat first. However, Kangxi was upset because of Qinrou's high fever at that time, so he frowned impatiently and waved his hand to stop him.

No matter how anxious Li Dequan was, he didn't dare to mention it again! He was just a servant, and it was his duty to remind him a few things, but if he wanted to make decisions for his master, he would violate the emperor's taboo.

How many servants in the Qianqing Palace fell into trouble because of this inconspicuous point.

Kangxi stood up and told a group of servants, "You guys wait on her. The concubine will take a nap, remember to wake her up and serve her some food."

"Yes." The servants all answered. The emperor went to eat at the side, still in Zhenshunzhai? It was just not under the emperor's nose, but they dared not not serve him attentively.

Li Dequan waited on the emperor and went to the side hall. In Kunning Palace, the empress was wearing casual clothes and didn't wear too many hairpins and hair ornaments on her head. First, too many hairpins and hair ornaments would be messy and not beautiful; she was the empress, not a nouveau riche! Second, too many hair ornaments would be too heavy and her head would not be able to bear it for a whole day.

This kind of attire makes the queen look more noble and graceful. The queen's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "How is it?"

She didn't mention what she was asking, but Ding Ruzhong understood and replied in a low voice, "I heard that he is better now, but he still has some residual fever. The imperial doctors haven't left Chengqian Palace yet, and the emperor is still guarding him."

The queen looked pretty good, and she said calmly, "For someone who has never been sick and has a strong body, when she gets sick, it's really a serious problem."

Ding Ruzhong lowered his head and closed his eyes. Hearing this, he quickly smiled and said, "My master is right. I heard that this high fever was coming on fiercely. The imperial doctors first prescribed a prescription and boiled some medicine for me to drink. As a result, the imperial physician prescribed another heavy medicine, wiped my body with wine, and asked the female doctor to give me acupuncture. It can be seen that this high fever was really fierce and rapid."

"Is the Emperor still guarding in Zhenshunzhai?" The Empress asked again for some unknown reason. Her heart sank. There was no shortage of favorite concubines in the palace, but she had to admit that the Emperor was indeed indulgent towards Nara.

Hearing this, Ding Ruzhong and Yuanyan both frowned. If possible, they did not want to mention this, but Ding Ruzhong had no choice but to respond, "Yes."

In the past, it was not uncommon for favored concubines to fall ill, but it was not uncommon for the emperor to stay with them all the time. This was a treatment only enjoyed by the heirs of the royal family. During the weak days before the death of the former Concubine Hui, the emperor only visited her every day. This showed that he valued the former Concubine Hui and Mongolia.

The most important thing is, Yuanyan turned to look at the queen and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please go and persuade the emperor. His health is the most important thing. If he gets sick, Concubine Nara will be blamed for his death."

A mere concubine. If the emperor becomes ill because of her, compared with the emperor's body, the one is as light as a feather and the other is as heavy as Mount Tai.

The most important thing is that the harem is ruled by the master and the queen. If the emperor gets sick, it will be blamed on the master and the queen. A charge of poor supervision involves the emperor's body. Although it is not a big deal, it is not a small matter either.

Moreover, although the harem is managed by the master, the Empress Dowager is still watching from the side. I am afraid that when the time comes, she will give me another warning.

The Queen thought for a moment and decided that it was time to go and see the Emperor. The Queen could accept whether the Emperor wanted to accompany her or not, but as Yuanyan said, it was the Queen's duty to manage the six palaces and advise the Emperor. Whether the Emperor would listen to her was not a big deal!
But she always had to give some gentle advice. The queen had seen quite a few concubines, and the emperor was always the only one, but he had always had many concubines around him. The only thing that could threaten her was the heir she gave birth to.

The queen ordered, "Prepare the sedan chair, let's go and take a look!" She went to see for herself what had happened.

"Yes," Ding Ruzhong replied, and then hurried out to tell the servants to prepare the sedan chair.

The Queen's phoenix sedan had just left Kunning Palace and was heading for Chengqian Palace. Soon all the concubines in the palaces knew what they needed to know.

However, they still need to consider carefully what to do and whether or not to go to Chengqian Palace to visit.
