The Virtuous Concubine

The prince is seriously ill.

The disease came on violently and the patient collapsed all of a sudden. A few days ago, he was still full of energy and was packing his things to go hunting with Kangxi, but the next day, he couldn't get out of bed.

After Malu knew about it, he also sent some gifts, but perhaps because the prince was ill and Chen Xin was busy, there was no response.

Kangxi was very anxious. He scolded the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau for not doing their job well every day and even sent Rong Ji to do it.

Rong Ji went there several times, but told the emperor that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine.

What on earth caused the prince to worry so much that he became ill and developed such a serious disease?

It’s Yang Gege!

After Kangxi came to this conclusion, a trace of regret flashed across his face.

He sighed heavily, feeling even more regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would have kept that Yang Gege.

How much of a stir could a woman in the backyard stir up? Yinreng had only just tasted something new. As time went by, the novelty would always wear off, and he would get tired of it sooner or later.

But now, I have forcibly gotten rid of her when Yinreng loved her the most. This has undoubtedly planted a seed in the prince's heart, making him think about her all the time, to the point of missing her to the point of becoming sick and falling into his current situation!

Kangxi thought he understood and decided to go to Yuqing Palace in person to persuade his eldest son to be more open-minded.

If it really doesn't work, there are thousands of women in this world, so just order someone to find one with a similar appearance and temperament to Yang Gege for the prince.

After thinking of a solution, Kangxi ordered to move to Yuqing Palace.

However, he only brought Liang Jiugong with him, and stopped the eunuch who was about to report it.

He wanted to see what had caused the prince to become so ill!

As soon as he entered Yuqing Palace, Kangxi saw dozens of pots of golden lotus neatly placed at the door.

The golden lotus has layers of emerald green leaves. It is not yet the flowering season, but among the green leaves, there are already flower buds sparkling like broken gold.

Kangxi nodded slightly and felt relieved when he saw this: "The servants in front of Yinreng have really put in a lot of effort. The golden lotus has always been delicate and difficult to cultivate. I didn't expect it to grow so luxuriantly in Yuqing Palace."

Liang Jiugong next to him quickly echoed: "The Crown Prince must treasure the Emperor's reward very much, how dare the people below neglect it."

Kangxi frowned slightly, said nothing, and walked straight towards the prince's bedroom.

When the eunuchs and palace maids on duty along the way saw Kangxi arriving, they knelt down in fear to pay their respects, but Kangxi was eavesdropping and raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.

For a moment, both sides of the road were filled with people kneeling, all with their heads hung, not daring to breathe.

Chen, who was in the house, heard the noise outside and came out, becoming extremely anxious. What should he do?

The prince is now unconscious. If he said something he shouldn't have said... Chen Xin really wanted to jump up and wake the prince up so that he could be more sober.

Kangxi walked lightly and slowly approached the bedroom. As expected, before he even stepped into the room, he heard the prince's heavy and disordered breathing due to a high fever.

Kangxi quietly looked inside from the window and saw the prince lying on the bed, his face flushed, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead. It was obvious that he had a severe fever and was in an unconscious state, mumbling nonsense.

There are so many people in the backyard, but not one of them is by Yinreng's side? !

Kangxi leaned close to the window frame and listened carefully. He could only hear the weak and broken voice of the prince: "Father Huang... I'm sorry... My son... My son is useless..."

After hearing this, Kangxi felt both distressed and relieved.

After all, this was his son whom he had loved since childhood and had high hopes for. Now seeing him suffering from illness, as a father, how could he not feel heartbroken? From the prince's unconscious mumbling, he felt that although the child had grown up and had his own ideas, he sometimes disobeyed his words.

But even when he was unconscious, he still had himself in his heart, and his father still occupied an important position.

Hey!

Kangxi had been depressed a while ago because his son always talked back to him, but now he was happy again.

He was so happy that he was about to go in when he heard a message from outside.

"Noble Consort De Zhao has arrived—"

In fact, before reaching the door, Malu felt a little regretful when she saw Kangxi's ceremonial procession.

But unexpectedly, the young eunuch at the door was probably the prince's man. Before Malu even reached the door, he hurriedly started to make a announcement in a loud voice, which scared everyone inside.

There was no other way. If he passed by Yuqing Palace and didn’t come in to see the sick prince, it would be a bigger problem.

Malu had no choice but to go in.

"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

Kangxi nodded and said, "Stand up. My beloved concubine, are you here to see the prince?"

Malu raised her head, quickly glanced around the room, and nodded quickly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwell, and I was very worried, so I came to visit you."

Kangxi was in Malu at the moment. She rarely wore clothes as brightly as she did today, and she looked quite charming and seductive.

Dressed up in formal attire, it seemed a little out of place for visiting a patient, which inevitably made people suspicious.

Kangxi sighed secretly in his heart. He thought that maybe he had been busy with government affairs these days and neglected the harem, and rarely went to Yonghe Palace to see her, so she became a little anxious.

That's why she dressed up so deliberately today, trying to attract my attention. Never mind, everything she did was for me in the end, why should I be angry?

Malu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Kangxi, so she lowered her head slightly and avoided Kangxi's gaze.

Kangxi's gaze lingered on her for a moment. Originally, Kangxi wanted to send Malu away, then go back to see her and talk to the prince first.

But when I thought about how seriously ill the prince was now, he needed someone to take careful care of him. But there was only Chen Xin in the room just now, and none of the women in the backyard were there!

How could this be possible? Eunuchs are men after all, and if they rely on a group of eunuchs to take care of him, how could this disease be cured?

Women are more careful. Maybe it was because these eunuchs were clumsy and failed to take good care of Yinreng that the prince's condition became worse!

Finally, he changed his mind and said, "My beloved concubine is thoughtful. The prince is resting now, so it is not appropriate to disturb him too much. Please come over and talk to me for a while."

Having said that, under the guidance of Chen Xin, he went to the prince's study.

Malu stood in this familiar place, she just felt uncomfortable. Before, she and the prince had laughed and played in the study, but now she had to be alone in a room with Kangxi, a strong sense of embarrassment surged in her heart.
