The Virtuous Concubine

Rong Ji looked at Malu's eyes full of expectation. Even though he was extremely reluctant, he really couldn't bear to make her sad anymore, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing Rong Ji nod, Malu felt relieved. She was tired of crying, but she wanted to let him go see their daughter while she still had energy.

The two princesses are now cute, smart and lively, he will definitely be happy.

Rong Ji shook his head and said, "Your health is more important. I will prescribe some medicine for you later. The smell of the medicine will be unpleasant if it sticks to your body. It will scare the children. How about going to see your daughter tomorrow?"

Malu's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she knew that Rong Ji was thinking about her, so she nodded obediently: "Okay, then you must go. You don't know, they can learn new things every day."

Rong Ji smiled and comforted her: "I will definitely go, you should have a good rest first and don't get tired."

Malu nodded, but couldn't help asking him, "Then...how will you tell others?"

Rong Ji thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the truth about your deficiency of Qi and blood. You have given birth to children many years in a row, so your body needs careful care. This is something that everyone knows, and no one will suspect anything."

Malu breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, you are right. Can...can I announce to the public that I can no longer get pregnant?"

She didn't want to be favored anymore, didn't want to cater to anyone anymore.

So Malu asked Rong Ji to say this to others, so that after Kangxi knew it, he would not waste his time on her.

Rong Ji nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I will take care of everything. You just need to rest and recuperate, and leave the rest to me."

After Malu fell asleep, Rong Ji left the room quietly, his eyes instantly turned cold. The prince's matter could not be let go like this.

Bai Fu, who was outside, was a little stunned when she saw him coming out with a cold face: "Rong... Doctor Rong? How is the queen?"

Rong Ji then repeated to Bai Fu everything that Malu had told him.

Bai Fu's face was filled with astonishment. She had never expected that things would turn out like this. No wonder Imperial Physician Rong had asked the Empress to dismiss her attendants.

She thought the two would take this opportunity to rekindle their old love.

After Rong Ji finished giving the instructions, he went to prepare Malu's prescription. While selecting the herbs, his mind drifted to the prince.

As Kangxi's personal physician, he had accompanied the emperor for a long time and naturally knew that although Kangxi occasionally showed some suspicion towards the prince, it was far from enough to shake the prince's position.

But he couldn't let Malu suffer such a great injustice in vain.

"One life for another." Rong Ji swore secretly in his heart.

However, he was not alone. There were many princes who coveted the position of crown prince, including the fourth prince, the eldest prince, the eighth prince... Which of these princes did not want to tear off the flesh of the crown prince and drain his blood to clear the way for themselves to ascend the throne?

Rong Ji was extremely grateful that he was an imperial physician and had some skills, otherwise he would have no way to take revenge.

At this time, Chen Xin in Yuqing Palace lowered his head and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The prince noticed his little action, but he still held the book in his hand without raising his head. He just said one word lightly: "Speak."

Chen Xin whispered, "The Imperial Physician Rong, who was sent by the Emperor to treat Imperial Concubine Dezhao in Yonghe Palace, should have arrived at Yonghe Palace by now."

The prince then put down the book in his hand, and a barely perceptible haze flashed across his eyes: "Doctor Rong? What illness did he go to Yonghe Palace to see?"

Seeing this, Chen Xin quickly replied, "Your Highness, I don't know the specific condition of the patient. I only know that the Royal Concubine of Yonghe Palace is bedridden, so Princess Wenxian asked the Emperor to send the Imperial Physician Rong to go there."

The prince moved his hand at his side, but soon regained his composure, picked up the book again, and said casually, "The doctor beside the emperor must be very skilled and can cure the disease with his medicine."

Chen Xin observed the Crown Prince's expression and knew that he had not let go of the matter, so he said, "Your Highness, although Imperial Physician Rong is an excellent doctor, Imperial Concubine De Zhao is in a high position and is deeply loved by the Emperor. If Your Highness could go to visit her... or send someone to send some precious medicinal herbs and supplements, it would not only show Your Highness's kindness and love, but also let the Emperor know your care and consideration."

The prince couldn't help but throw the book away: "So much nonsense! Get lost!"

He scolded me, but he didn’t ask me whether I wanted to see it or send me something.

Chen Xin had long been accustomed to the prince's mood swings, and when he saw that things were not going well, he quickly retreated. The prince was alone in the palace, his face terribly gloomy.

It’s not that he didn’t want to go to Yonghe Palace and take this opportunity to reconcile with Malu, but Chen Xin’s words really made him unhappy.

Especially the words "deeply favored by the Holy One", which were like a sharp thorn, piercing his heart.

What does it mean to win the Holy Heart?!

If she really had the emperor's heart, why would she need to write such a heartfelt letter, begging the emperor to take her to the Nanyuan Palace? And why would she pretend to be sick to gain the emperor's attention? !

It was rare that Kangxi left the palace without taking her with him. She could stay in the palace with him, and they would have many opportunities to get close to each other. He was so happy at that time that he even deliberately acted to get the emperor to keep him.

But what about her? She was not willing to stay at all, and even couldn't wait to write a letter to the emperor to express her feelings, hoping to meet him in the Nanyuan Palace as soon as possible.

When the prince thought of this, he felt that his liking for Malu and his desire to see her were so ridiculous and he was simply willing to debase himself!

The prince became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He clenched his fists unconsciously, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

A book would become rotten after being flipped through so many pages. He simply threw the book aside and read the letter from Suo Etu.

He was already in a terrible mood, and when he read the contents of the letter, it only added fuel to the fire. Every word in the letter from Soetu was urging him to form a clique for personal gain, and every word between the lines revealed that it was all for the benefit of the Hesheli family, or more bluntly, for Soetu's own interests.

The prince was even more helpless, thinking that Suo Etu would implicate him sooner or later. But he couldn't leave him!

The Emperor's father put too many constraints and restrictions on him, and he could only do many things through Soetu.

But as the prince gave Soetu more power, his greedy nature became more exposed.

The prince was clearly aware that what Soetu was doing now was gradually beyond his control, but because of Kangxi's control, he had no better way to check and balance him. To kill Soetu would be to cut off his own arm.

The prince rubbed his temple irritably, a trace of fatigue and disgust flashing in his eyes.

"When will these people be satisfied? How far do I have to go before that day comes?"
