The Virtuous Concubine

He was originally the emperor's spy planted by the prince, and he finally became the prince's confidant. In the end, due to various reasons, he completely became the prince's man.

Chen Xin followed the prince closely all day long. Even though he was a eunuch and a fool, he could see through the prince's feelings for Concubine Dezhao.

It is best that Concubine De Zhao has the prince in her heart.

But Chen Xin was also in a difficult situation, as he had advised the prince openly and secretly to show off more in front of Kangxi.

It’s just that the prince is too confident in the emperor’s feelings for him, and he really values ​​state affairs, and is afraid that the previous dynasty will be unstable because of the emperor’s illness, so...

Chen Xin came up with a plan, walked up to the prince who was reading the memorial and bowed, saying: "Your Highness, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you."

The prince didn't even raise his eyes: "Just say it."

Chen Xin cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is ill now, and Concubine De Zhao stays by his side every day..."

The prince thought that this was too harsh to hear! He didn’t like it! He didn’t want to hear it!

Is Chen Xin tired of living?

The prince was somewhat unwilling to see Malu in front of the emperor's father, so he deliberately avoided many opportunities to visit the emperor and instead used government affairs to divert his attention.

Malu served the emperor wholeheartedly this time. Who in the harem would not say that Concubine De Zhao and the emperor were extremely loving?

Whenever he encountered such talkative servants, he would punish them one by one!

Before the prince could get angry, Chen Xin quickly told him his idea: "The Imperial Concubine is concerned about Your Highness. If Your Highness goes to take care of the sick, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for you to meet the Imperial Concubine? Moreover, the current situation is turbulent. Why don't Your Highness discuss with the Imperial Concubine and work together to deal with the current situation. If the Imperial Concubine helps, Your Highness should be able to relax a little."

The prince couldn't help but be moved after hearing what Chen Xin said. The words "hand in hand" were too tempting for him.

Her hands are soft.

But he was also worried that after meeting Malu, his emotions would become even more difficult to control. He might not be able to completely hide it from the Emperor now.

However, it seems that the two people have not seen each other for a long time?

The prince thought for a long time, and finally gave in: "You are the one who has a lot of bad ideas, I know. But why did you suddenly think of this?"

Chen Xin chuckled: "The Imperial Concubine sent a message, saying that she wants you to attend to the sick. I tried to persuade you last time, but it didn't work..."

The prince raised his foot and hit Chen Xin: "You little slave, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Seeing this, Chen Xin didn't dare to say anything more. He stood there and quietly stepped aside after being kicked.

It has to be the Imperial Concubine!

Although the prince scolded Chen Xin, he was actually looking forward to it. While asking Chen Xin to clean up for him, he kept reminding himself that this meeting was only to take care of the sick and he should not let his emotions control him and show his true colors.

While changing clothes, the prince frowned: "What's wrong? The clothes are so wrinkled! And--"

Chen Xin bowed quickly: "Your Highness, the Queen has ordered that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to go, the more shabby he is dressed and the more tired he looks, the better!"

The prince immediately understood Malu's intention.

He smiled, no longer resisting the wrinkled clothes: "What else did she say? Tell me all about it."

Chen Xin raised her head slightly to observe the prince's expression, then quickly lowered her head and answered respectfully: "Her Majesty also said that Your Highness has been working hard for state affairs, and the Emperor will definitely see it and feel pain in his heart. Her Majesty hopes that Your Highness can take this opportunity to let the Emperor better understand Your Highness's efforts and responsibilities. And Her Majesty also instructed me to take good care of Your Highness and not be careless in the slightest."

In fact, Malu didn't mention anything about clothes or sacrifice. Malu just asked Chen Xin to remind the prince to come and take care of him.

I am just a servant, so I naturally know what to do to serve my master. Since I have gone, it cannot be in vain, it must be effective. Since His Highness will not listen to advice, I can only rely on Concubine De Zhao!

The prince hurried to Kangxi's bedroom, and the moment he saw Malu, the emotions in his heart almost broke through the defense line of reason.

She only wore light makeup today, which could not hide the fatigue on her face from days of nursing. She usually looked very healthy, with red lips without any makeup, but now she looked a little pale, which made people feel pity for her.

There was only a simple white jade hairpin inserted in her hair. The hairpin managed to hold her thick black hair together with difficulty, but a few strands of hair still came out, making her look more fragile and casual.

She was not wearing a cheongsam, but rather a pair of shorts that were neat and easy to move in. It was obvious that she did everything herself in front of Kangxi.

He had never seen Malu like this before. The prince couldn't help but take a step forward and whispered, "I'm here."

Malu also looked at the prince and revealed a sincere smile. It seemed that her little prince was quite obedient.

She put on makeup herself simply because Rong Ji was Kangxi's imperial physician and could meet her in the Qianqing Palace every day. She subconsciously kept herself in a peacock-like state, but she didn't expect that the prince would come today.

"It is my duty to serve the emperor when he is ill."

The prince felt even more uncomfortable when he saw her smile.

I wonder if she was happy to see me or happy to be with the Emperor?

The prince knew that it was irrational to think this way, but he couldn't control himself. He strode forward and pushed Ma Lu aside in a somewhat rude manner: "Noble Concubine De Zhao, please go and have a rest. It's enough for the emperor to be with me."

Malu felt like his heart was gently scratched by a feather. He was just being stubborn!

He clearly came over and rubbed against me like a puppy, yet he still said such things.

"It is great that Your Highness has come. But shouldn't you first listen to the Emperor's condition and how to take care of him? Besides, the Emperor has already gone to bed. If Your Highness goes in, wouldn't it disturb the Emperor's sleep?"

Malu tilted her head slightly to look at him, with a hint of anger in her eyes, and she was very coquettish.

The prince could not resist Malu's seductive eyes at all. He looked at Malu with a stern face, then looked at the servants standing silently with their heads bowed respectfully around him. Seeing that no one was abnormal, he nodded hoarsely and said, "Okay, but the emperor's condition needs to be kept secret. Outsiders are not allowed to listen."

In fact, this statement is really unreasonable. Which of the servants in the Qianqing Palace, especially those who were always by Kangxi's side and were more important, would not be aware of Kangxi's illness?

However, the prince's reason seemed reasonable and hard to refute. Kangxi's physical condition was indeed a top secret. So the prince and the imperial concubine who entered the warm room sent away all the servants.

The prince was very familiar with the Qianqing Palace. He grew up here when he was a child. He naturally knew where the servants' blind spots were and how loud a noise would be heard.

So he listened attentively to the footsteps, and when the people walked away, he directly used his hands and mouth, hugged Malu, and then naturally kissed her lips.
