The Virtuous Concubine

Ma Lu noticed the change in Rong Ji's mood and pinched his face with a smile: "Ji Lang, I did this not because I have any special feelings for the emperor, but just for our children and for the stability of Yonghe Palace."

After saying that, she held his face and looked left and right. He was quite quick in action. He had already changed his eyebrows and put on makeup!

He still looks like the same person, but the details of his facial features and the feeling he gives are a little different.

Rong Ji sighed, "I know, but when I think about you dragging your body after giving birth to do these things, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

Malu held his face and kissed him, comforting him: "As long as the emperor can agree to my request and let our children stay in the capital, then what does it matter if I do all this? I can't let you and the children go to Mongolia to eat sand and not see them once in ten years, okay?"

"I will only suffer for one hour of this day in exchange for our reunion for a lifetime, isn't that good enough? Besides--"

Malu hooked her arms around Rong Ji's neck and fell into his arms: "With you here, nothing will happen to me. You can also spend a few more days with me under the pretext of recuperating for me."

Rong Ji simply had no idea what to do with her. He could only clasp his hands together, hug her tightly, and feel her warm and soft body.

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Malu urged him: "Okay, okay, now my body is warm, the medicine must be taking effect. Go and teach the Fourth Prince a lesson and wake him up."

Rong Ji left helplessly.

In the prince's residence, the Fourth Prince was still unconscious, and Doctor Gu was watching over him day and night. When he saw Rong Ji coming, his heart tightened.

Finished!

Rong Ji glanced at his old colleague's nervous expression, suppressed his anger and said, "Doctor Gu, don't panic. I came here because of Concubine De's request."

When Doctor Gu heard this, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he felt a little relieved.

It seems that this imperial physician Rong is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han. Concubine De is very clever!

The person sent by his biological mother would not expose that the Fourth Prince is his biological son, right?

Doctor Gu knew that Rong Ji's medical skills were better than his own, and he would definitely find something wrong. But if he stopped Doctor Rong from seeing him, then this would be a big problem.

So he could only pray secretly in his heart that Concubine De sent Doctor Rong to help.

Rong Ji ignored him and concluded after taking his pulse: He had fainted because of the drug, which had completely messed up his pulse.

He observed the scary bruise on his chest again and shook his head: "You are too careless to have such a big loophole."

One side of the bruise is purple-red, and the other side is bluish-purple.

The bruises that have just formed are red or purple-red, and the purple-blue color is the color after two days. After the bruises spread out, they will turn yellow-green, then slowly fade, turn yellow and disappear.

Doctor Gu was so bold that he even dared to attack the Fourth Prince in order to enlarge the wound.

Although the Fourth Prince had suffered, Rong Ji knew after taking his pulse that he could be awakened by stimulating him with spices or taking medicine.

But whatever Malu says is what it is.

She said she wanted acupuncture, so Rong Ji gave her acupuncture.

Anyway, Rong Ji has superb medical skills and is confident that no matter how he pierces the needle, he can guarantee that it will be extremely painful but will not kill the person, and can still achieve the desired effect.

When Doctor Gu heard him say this, he was completely relieved and realized that Rong Ji was a friend rather than an enemy. Just as he was about to ask Rong Ji what the loophole was, he saw Rong Ji take out a small bag for acupuncture.

This package contains acupuncture needles of various specifications, including three-edged needles specifically for bloodletting, plum blossom needles, and seven-star needles.

What Rong Ji is going to use this time is the Seven-Star Needle, which is made up of seven of the thickest needles.

It's the same with a thin one, but it hurts more.

Doctor Gu had no time to stop it. He wanted to say that taking medicine or burning incense would be enough, as the Fourth Prince had also agreed with him to meet in three days. But then he saw Rong Ji move quickly and thrust the needle into the Fourth Prince's Neiguan acupoint.

The Neiguan point is located on the palm side of the forearm and is a point on the pericardium meridian. The pericardium is responsible for receiving evil on behalf of the heart. Stimulating the Neiguan point can calm the mind, regulate qi and expand the chest, help regulate the circulation of qi and blood in the body and the state of consciousness, and also help to revive the unconscious.

This acupoint can be said to be the most symptomatic acupoint.

Sure enough, just as the needle went down an inch, the Fourth Prince's eyelids moved.

Rong Ji looked at the imperial physician Gu beside him and smiled slightly, then gave the Fourth Prince another injection into his Baihui acupoint.

At this time, the Fourth Prince had already woken up. Although his mind was not fully clear, the tremendous pain made him cry out in pain.

But when Rong Ji thought that Malu was going to the Qianqing Palace to kneel down and beg for mercy today, he became very angry, and gave Ren Zhong another injection while the man was still asleep.

Three positions, three movements equals twenty-one stitches!

The Fourth Prince fainted from the pain again, but the medicine that Doctor Gu gave him completely relieved his pain.

Rong Ji took back the needle, whispered "enough is enough" in the Fourth Prince's ear, and left leisurely.

Doctor Gu was so frightened that he rushed forward to take the Fourth Prince's pulse. Sure enough, the Fourth Prince woke up soon.

He also heard the words "enough is enough".

Doctor Gu had to listen to Concubine De's warning. After waking up, the Fourth Prince still felt severe pain in his body. He glared at Doctor Gu and said, "You quack, does this medicine have side effects?"

Doctor Gu smiled bitterly and told the story of Doctor Rong who had come to perform acupuncture on the orders of Concubine De.

The Fourth Prince was silent: "I understand. Go and prescribe some medicine for me to recuperate."

Soon everyone knew that the Fourth Prince had woken up. Kangxi was overjoyed, thinking that there was a chance that the Crown Prince would come out sooner.

He even went to visit the Fourth Prince in person, but the Fourth Prince had fallen asleep at that time, leaving Kangxi disappointed.

Kangxi originally wanted to ask the Fourth Prince what the situation was like at that time, and then find a reason to let the Fourth Prince take the blame so that he could help the Crown Prince out of his predicament.

But he didn't expect that the patient had fallen asleep. Looking at the horrific wound, he felt it was not appropriate to wake the patient up.

Otherwise, when the fourth child wakes up and finds that he has to take the blame, he will probably feel resentment towards his father.

When Kangxi came back, he saw a mountain of memorials on the desk.

All of these memorials were impeachments against the crown prince. He kept them all in his possession but there was nothing he could do about it.

Unexpectedly, Liang Jiugong brought two more piles of memorials and piled them here - all of them had ulterior motives, trying to take the opportunity to impeach the prince!

Kangxi was really annoyed and could hardly stand the pressure any more, but he still hadn't figured out how to punish the prince.

He couldn't let the Fourth Prince kick back! But dethronement was too severe, and Kangxi didn't even consider it.

The confinement was too light to convince the public.
