The Virtuous Concubine

Kangxi was already very weak, and when he saw the Fourth Prince force himself to try the medicine and end up being poisoned, his blood boiled and he fainted.

The Jiangnan Palace suddenly fell into chaos.

The prince and the imperial doctors rushed to Kangxi. After a while, the prince reacted and called two imperial doctors to treat Yinzhen.

Everyone quickly helped Yinzhen to sit aside and let the imperial physician feel his pulse. After the imperial physician made a diagnosis, he said solemnly: "Fourth Prince was poisoned by strychnine. Fortunately, the dose was not large, so his life is not in danger for the time being, but he needs to be nursed back to health. Fourth Prince, I'm sorry!"

The imperial physician first asked the Fourth Prince to lean forward slightly, then gently held his forehead with one hand, and with the other hand, he put his fingers together and reached directly into his throat, trying to induce vomiting.

While vomiting, Yinzhen glared at the imperial physician with hatred in his heart, wishing he could cut the person who poisoned him into pieces.

In this life, I have never been so embarrassed. And, doctor, have you washed your hands? !

Malu paid great attention to hygiene and required people in the palace to wash their hands and bathe frequently to avoid diseases from the mouth. So when Yinzhen thought that the imperial physician might not have washed his hands, his stomach churned and he vomited even more violently.

When Yinzhen had almost finished vomiting, he looked very weak. The imperial physician quickly handed him a cup of warm water and asked him to rinse his mouth. Yinzhen frowned, endured the discomfort, took the cup of water, and simply rinsed his mouth.

When the imperial physician saw that the Fourth Prince was fine, he simply wiped his hands with a handkerchief before turning around to write a prescription.

In the following days, the Fourth Prince could only drink licorice soup and mung bean soup to detoxify.

If the missionaries were here, they might be able to help. Rutaecarpa is a plant that can help relieve the pain of convulsions and seizures.

But at this time Yinzhen could only bear it.

When the crown prince saw that Kangxi's condition had stabilized, he directly ordered the blockade of the Jiangnan Palace, imprisonment of the eldest and third princes, and imprisonment of all the people from the Jiangnan Cao family who were responsible for Kangxi's daily diet and receptions. The crown prince then personally tried the case.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense and depressing.

During his lucid moments, Kangxi learned from Liang Jiugong about what the prince had done, and felt quite dissatisfied.

He knew that the prince was right to do so, but the prince was also suspicious, and the suspicion was... not small.

If it was just that he was attacked by miasma, but the prince was safe and sound, this alone would not be enough to make him suspicious.

But the medicine he took turned out to be poisonous, which made Kangxi highly alert.

If I die now, the eldest and third princes will never be able to succeed to the throne. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, then it is legitimate!

He decided to keep quiet for the time being and secretly observe the actions of the Crown Prince and other princes.

In this matter, the ones he was satisfied with were Yinzhen, Yinzuo, and Wenxian.

Yinzhen was smart and alert. He was the first to realize that there was something wrong with the medicine and even dared to test it on himself.

Yinzuo was also doing well. He had a high fever before, but he recovered quickly and even came to serve me.

Is there really something magical about twins? After Yinzuo came over, his mental state improved a little, and his body also had some positive changes.

Although the imperial physician diagnosed that he had improved a little, he could not tell the reason - only he knew that the changes occurred after Yinzuo came over.

Kangxi simply ordered the Fourth Prince and Yinzuo to come and live with him so that they could be looked after by the imperial physician.

Liang Jiugong quickly added two beds to the bedroom of Kangxi's palace and placed them next to Kangxi's dragon bed.

Wen Xian naturally didn't want to be separated from Yin Zuo, and his fourth brother was also there. If he was left alone, he didn't know what would happen.

So she also cried and made a fuss, saying that she wanted to come in and live and die with her father, the fourth brother Yinzuo.

Kangxi listened to Liang Jiugong trying to persuade Princess Wenxian, but Wenxian was still refusing to give in, and his eyes became a little red.

At the moment of life and death, only Defei and her children were willing to stay by my side!

Or maybe the prince really suffered. He hadn't slept for two days, investigating cases and trying people all night, and also had to monitor the order and patrols of the palace, fearing that something might happen to Kangxi again.

If he didn't take charge, Kangxi would feel that he couldn't take on the responsibility. But if he took charge, it would be impossible for him to accompany Kangxi like this.

"Liang Daban, I beg you, I want to go in! I am not afraid of danger, I want to accompany my father and brothers."

Her little face turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stood there stubbornly, refusing to leave no matter how Liang Jiugong tried to persuade her.

Liang Jiugong was also anxious, this... Three children came to Yonghe Palace, and two of them were inside.

What's more, the princess is delicate and frail, and it might be the most likely for something to go wrong if she goes in.

The two men were in a stalemate for a while, and then the voice of the Fourth Prince came from inside: "Eunuch Liang, let Wen Xian in. The Emperor has agreed."

When Wen Xian heard this, she rushed in. She held up the hem of her Manchu dress, stepped on the soft-soled embroidered shoes that all southern women wore, and ran to Kangxi's bed.

The weak Kangxi looked at Wen Xian who ran to the bed panting, his eyes full of love and helplessness.

Wen Xian's face flushed with excitement. She stared at Kangxi with burning eyes: "Father, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight."

Kangxi was about to reach out and touch the small bun on her head, but when he was about to touch it, he thought that he was sick, so he withdrew his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Wen Xian, didn't you promise your mother to be obedient?"

Wen Xian sat down beside Kangxi's bed, tucked the quilt for Kangxi, and then said, "I am just listening to what my mother said. My mother said that we must take good care of Huang Ama and protect Huang Ama. That's why Wen Xian came here."

After hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of his eye.

Liang Jiugong couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the young princess saying these words in her childish voice.

Only Yinzhen lay on the footstool next to Kangxi with her head lowered - what a good sister she was!

There was a warm and affectionate atmosphere in the palace, when Wei Zhu outside suddenly asked for a meeting, saying that someone had come from the capital!

The person who came was Rong Ji, who was exhausted from the journey and had no time to change his clothes.

Along the way, he disguised himself as a messenger with an express mission of eight hundred miles, and led a team of people from the slightly farther Tianjin Wei to Hangzhou.

At the same time he set out, there were several disguised groups of people from the capital and other places.

They traveled day and night, without stopping, and encountered many difficulties along the way.

It can only be said that Malu's caution was justified, because the first groups of people who were chased and blocked were those who came out of the capital!
