The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 459 What’s going on?

The imperial doctors finally rushed over and arrived quickly.

Firstly, they all came jogging; secondly, today was the day they were supposed to come to check the patient's pulse, but the sudden heavy rain delayed them.

But after the rain stopped, they did not dare to delay and hurried to Chengqian Palace. Especially after meeting Eunuch Cangzi, who was serving by the side of Concubine Nara in Chengqian Palace.

Since the emperor has ordered the imperial physician to be summoned to Chengqian Palace, the imperial physicians have to serve carefully no matter who it is, whether it is the emperor or the concubine.

The first thing that the imperial doctors thought of was the royal heir in Concubine Nara's belly!
Is there something wrong with the heir? The emperor is here too. They dare not delay even a moment!

Cangzi was also impatient, so he dragged the imperial physician to Chengqian Palace. He was in a hurry, and it was right for him to be in a hurry. If there was really something wrong with the heir, the sooner the imperial physicians arrived, the better for the heir and the concubine.

How could Cangzi not be anxious? He was a servant serving in Zhenshunzhai. His wealth, life and future all depended on the concubine. Only if the concubine and the royal heir were well, would he have a more promising future.

Cangzi dared not be impatient. After Aunt Chen and others retreated from the hall, they sent a eunuch to chase Cangzi, reminding him to slow down. However, he failed to catch up with him the whole time, which shows how fast Cangzi ran!

If Qinrou was really in trouble one day, he would go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician at this speed. Qinrou would definitely be very pleased and would remember him as a great achievement. Aunt Chen and other servants who served her closely were also very pleased. After all, it was his own people who cared more.

After running for a while with the imperial doctors, they finally met the eunuch who came later. However, Cangzi ran too fast and he couldn't catch up.

But I finally met him, breathlessly, but still able to say a few words, in the shortest possible terms, to express my meaning.

There is no need to rush. The concubine is not feeling unwell.

Upon hearing this, the imperial doctors no longer had to rush all the way there, which indeed made them less tired; but they slowed down a little, and still walked or trotted all the way to Chengqian Palace.

Regardless of whether Concubine Nara was feeling unwell or not, it would not be wrong for them to arrive a little earlier. They would always serve her wholeheartedly, for the eyes of the light and darkness to see, for the emperor to see.

Therefore, the imperial doctors arrived quickly. Aunt Chen looked at the two eunuchs following the imperial doctors, stepped forward to pay her respects, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is talking in the palace. The two imperial doctors will wait a moment. Allow me to report first."

"Of course," the imperial doctors often interacted with the eunuchs in the palace, and there was a set of procedures. It can be seen from this that Concubine Nara's stomach was indeed fine, otherwise they would have been urged by the servants to go into the palace for treatment when they arrived here.

Look at Zhenshunzhai, it is in order, and there is no sign of panic caused by the discomfort of the concubines in the palace.

The imperial doctors also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if they were not needed. They would rather just check for an ordinary pulse check. When something really happened, it would be hard to tell whether the credit would come first or the disaster would come first.

Generally speaking, the latter is more violent!

The imperial doctors were waiting outside the palace at this time, waiting for Aunt Chen to come in and report. Only after obtaining permission from the emperor and concubines in the palace were the imperial doctors allowed to enter the palace.

Aunt Chen entered the palace. The emperor was still sitting on the couch, and Qin Rou was still held by Kangxi. Aunt Chen looked straight ahead, as if she hadn't seen anything, and said, "Your Majesty, concubine, and the imperial doctors are outside the palace asking to see you." Qin Rou glanced at Kangxi, who looked at her without raising his head and directly ordered, "Let them in!"

Today is the time to check my pulse! It would be better if the imperial doctors came to check it out, which would make me feel more at ease.

"I obey your command." Aunt Chen replied, then stood up and took a few steps back before turning around and walking out. Her every move was extremely cautious, like a very prudent aunt in charge.

Aunt Chen walked out, Qin Rou prepared to come down, and said, "Your Majesty, I will come down first."

She had no scruples about being too intimate with the emperor in front of the imperial doctors, as there was no way anyone could avoid breaking taboos.

It was just that the imperial physician had to feel Qin Rou's pulse in a while, and since Qin Rou was sitting in Kangxi's arms, it was difficult for the imperial physician to feel her pulse!

Kangxi supported her and let her struggle to get down by herself, just to prevent her from falling. However, she got down from his arms, her movements were not very smooth, and she was hesitant. Kangxi took a breath of cold air, and only said after Qinrou got down, "You are really!"

Qin Rou looked up at Kangxi. What kind of expression was that? He was still holding her hand. Qin Rou glanced at Kangxi's hand. Seeing that Kangxi had no intention of letting go, she sat down next to Kangxi.

After sitting down, Qin Rou did not forget to turn her head to look at Kangxi. She had become accustomed to being close to Kangxi and had sat so close to him more than once or twice.

An emperor and a concubine were just sitting there. The imperial doctors, led by Aunt Chen, came into the palace. The imperial doctors were all smart people and knew their own status. It was not certain whether they would keep their mouths shut after leaving this door, but in this palace, they would keep their mouths shut about every move of the emperor and the concubine.

"Long live the emperor; may the concubine be well." From the moment they stepped into the palace, or rather, from the moment they waited outside the palace for the emperor and the concubine to summon them, the imperial doctors perked up and were extremely careful and cautious in serving the concubine in the palace.

When they entered the palace, the imperial doctors only caught a glimpse of the emperor and the concubine sitting on the same couch, but this had nothing to do with them. Although they were surprised in their hearts, the first thing the imperial doctors learned when walking in the inner court was to turn a deaf ear and not look!
"Stand up." Kangxi behaved casually, and did not restrain himself at all because of the presence of the imperial doctors. Everyone in the world is a slave, and the imperial doctors are even more so. How could Kangxi restrain himself?

Kangxi then directly ordered, "First, check the concubine's pulse."

He had already taken her pulse, but Kangxi was not very proficient in it. He only vaguely felt that it was really impossible to tell if there was any discomfort by taking the pulse or observing her complexion.

Even so, Kangxi was still a little worried, and the imperial doctors' examinations made him feel more reassured.

"Yes!" The imperial doctors took the order, took the concubine's pulse and asked her to put down her wrist. Aunt Chen then put a silk handkerchief on Qinrou's wrist, and the whole process went smoothly.

Then the imperial doctors came forward and knelt down to take the patient's pulse.

It took quite a while. The two doctors seemed to have encountered some problem. They tried their right hand first, then their left hand, and then their right hand again.

Qin Rou also didn't understand what the imperial doctors had seen.
One imperial physician was like this, which was a bit puzzling; then another imperial physician was replaced, and the same thing happened. It was not like I had never taken Ping An's pulse before!
The imperial doctors were so serious that Qin Rou felt a little uneasy.
What's going on here?
"What's going on?" Kangxi also noticed the hesitation of the imperial doctors and asked with a frown. He was also shocked in his heart. Could it be that the heir in Qin'er's belly was uneasy?
This was the first thing Kangxi thought of.
