The Virtuous Concubine

Malu was lying on the bed, watching the situation outside through the video. She was more and more impressed by the acting skills of the two girls. She quickly asked the system to exchange some of the best hemostatic and scar-removing medicine, and when the matter was over, she would give it to Bai Fu as soon as possible to make her suffer less.

The system notified her: "The ephedra you just took has been metabolized. The heartbeat, blood pressure and pulse disturbed by the ephedra are about to return to normal. What should I do?"

Malu's lips curled up in a sneer: "That's even better. Let's see what Doctor Lin will do then. The pulse says I'm fine, but the emperor says I'm in trouble, which makes him anxious to death." Doctor Lin had already revealed his true colors in front of the emperor, and no matter what he said next, he couldn't match what the imperial physician said before.

If it weren't for the fact that Wuya's family was not strong enough and nothing had been found out for so long, she wouldn't have to rely on Kangxi to solve this matter today. But the timing is just right, it's the Wanshou Festival and the Grand Conferment of the Six Palaces, and she must have a concubine position after she was revealed to be pregnant with twins!

After seeing the people sent by the consultant, Doctor Lin hurried to Yonghe Palace. When he saw the emperor sitting in the main hall with a sharp gaze, his heart beat fast. Why is the emperor here! Although the palace gates had been locked at this time, and Depin must have been able to summon him with the emperor's consent, Doctor Lin really did not expect that the emperor himself would be here to guard.

When Kangxi saw Doctor Lin coming, he put down the book in his hand and asked, "Doctor Lin, Concubine De said today that she was not feeling well and her fetus was not moving. Have you treated her?"

Doctor Lin knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, I am indeed responsible for Concubine De's pregnancy. As far as I know, her pulse is stable and there is nothing serious. May I ask if I can check her pulse first?"

His palms were slightly sweaty, and he secretly prayed that he could escape this disaster today. Kangxi was waiting for Lin Taiyi to fall into his trap, so he agreed: "Okay. Go and check the pulse, and be sure to be careful."

Doctor Lin kowtowed to express his gratitude, then stood up carefully and followed Bai Xia to check Malu's pulse. Malu lay quietly, and through the screen she knew that her plan had entered the most critical step. She gently adjusted her posture and prepared to accept Doctor Lin's pulse check.

Doctor Lin couldn't see Concubine De's condition through the curtain, but Bai Xia's usual enthusiasm and carefulness made him feel a little relieved. He placed his fingers on Malu's wrist through the handkerchief and began to diagnose seriously.

After a long time, Imperial Physician Lin withdrew his fingers and turned to report to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, after I took your pulse again, it seems that your Majesty had some major emotional ups and downs before. Now your pulse is indeed stable, and the fetal movement is also normal. There is nothing serious."

Kangxi's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Doctor Lin, is there nothing else you want to say? Think about it carefully, is there anything you missed?" His voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible sense of oppression.

Doctor Lin knelt down again in a hurry. This time he could no longer hold back his disguise. His heart was beating like a drum and fear was spreading in his heart. "Your Majesty, I did not find any other abnormalities when I took your pulse. Your Majesty is in good health. If there are other situations, I will report them truthfully."

Kangxi really felt that the imperial physician Lin in front of him was unyielding: "Imperial physician Lin, you have been practicing medicine for many years and know countless difficult and complicated diseases, but you don't even know the crime of deceiving the emperor."

These words were truly heartbreaking. Imperial Physician Lin kowtowed repeatedly, his voice full of panic: "Your humble servant dare not. You humble servant would never dare to hide anything from Your Majesty." He said this with a tough mouth, but unfortunately every word he said revealed extreme fear and despair, as if he had foreseen his own tragic end.

Kangxi was unwilling to talk to him and asked the doctor to come out from behind the screen. Seeing the doctor come out from behind the screen with a serious face, Doctor Lin collapsed to the ground.

His mind was blank and he felt dizzy.

It's over, it's all over!

Although the imperial physician had worked with Lin Taiyi for many years, he did not show him any mercy. Showing mercy to Lin Taiyi at this time would mean showing no mercy to his own nine clans! He directly and coldly asked Lin Taiyi: "Has anyone in the Imperial Hospital done anything wrong to you? Has Concubine De done anything wrong to you? What exactly did you intend to do by hiding the fact that Concubine De was pregnant with twins?"

Doctor Lin's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were trembling and almost bleeding. He knew he had no way out, and faced with the questioning of the imperial physician, he was speechless.

Kangxi watched this scene coldly, and was really annoyed with the tricks of the harem. Suddenly, Liang Jiugong rushed forward and pried open the jaw of Lin Taiyi to prevent him from biting the poison in his mouth. It turned out that Liang Jiugong saw that the imperial physician's mouth kept moving, but he didn't speak, and guessed that he was using his tongue to feel for the location of the poison.

"I know I am totally wrong!" After Doctor Lin's suicide attempt failed, his defenses collapsed and he began to cry and shout. "But as a human being, I naturally have shackles and fetters. Others are holding my son's life in their hands! What can I do?"

Kangxi looked at the collapse of Doctor Lin, but his heart was not moved at all: "Enough!"

Kangxi interrupted Lin Taiyi's crying and said, "I just want the truth. Lin Taiyi, if you still have a trace of regret, if you still want to save the lives of your family, tell me everything you know."

“Yes… yes, Your Majesty.” Doctor Lin’s voice trembled. “I… I am willing to tell you everything. I only ask Your Majesty to forgive my children. They… they are innocent.”

A complex emotion flashed in Kangxi's eyes. He knew that Lin Taiyi's confession might involve more palace secrets, but he really didn't want to hear it. In the affairs of the harem, if you pull out the carrot, you will bring out the mud. How many people can be clean? What's more, he came to the harem for entertainment, and he really didn't want to spend too much time and energy on this group of unknown women.

But today the matter has come to this point. If he does not give an explanation to Concubine De and the imperial harem, it will be difficult to convince the public.

At the same time, he really felt strange in his heart, why are there always so many people targeting Depin? Depin is usually very honest, although she is aggressive in front of me, she usually does not leave Yonghe Palace if she can. Why does everything have to be targeted at her?

"Your Majesty, the reason why I concealed the fact that Concubine De was pregnant with twins was because..." Doctor Lin paused for a moment, as if he was gathering his courage, and then he continued, "It was because someone threatened me that if I didn't obey, it would be bad for my family."

Kangxi was very dissatisfied with his hesitation and felt that his limited patience had run out. He decided that no matter what Lin said, he would execute the entire family. But now was not the time to settle the score, so he could only ask: "Who is it?"

A trace of fear appeared on Doctor Lin's face, and his voice trembled even more: "Yes...it was a noble lady in the palace. She...she promised that as long as I follow her arrangements, she will ensure the safety of my family." As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Lin closed his eyes, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he died in front of Kangxi!

This scene shocked everyone present. The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly, and there was a dead silence. Kangxi's face turned gloomy. This man dared to play with himself! The imperial physician was also extremely shocked, and hurried forward to check on Lin Taiyi's condition. He squatted down, first opened Lin Taiyi's eyelids to look at his pupils, then felt the pulse at his neck, and finally opened Lin Taiyi's mouth to check for a while before shaking his head.

"I am useless. Doctor Lin has died of the poison. It should be that when he was talking about hiding the twins, he took the opportunity to bite open the poison sac hidden in the other mouth..."
