The Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 559: Confrontation in front of the palace

Obviously, Liang Jiugong did not realize that Malu was so cooperative. He was stunned for a moment before walking to the front of Malu and leading Malu to the Qianqing Palace.

Behind Malu, there were several people brought by Liang Jiugong, who moved away several pots of golden lotus from Yuqing Palace.

Soon, they arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Guards lined up at the gate of the palace. From a distance, the black armor was impenetrable. The number of guards was more than ten times that of usual, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Malu looked calm and walked straight into the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi, who was supposed to be unconscious on the hospital bed, was now sitting upright on the dragon throne. It seemed that his eyes were hurt by the glaring light outside the door, and he squinted his eyes and could not see clearly who was coming.

When the door closed, Kangxi saw that it was her, but he didn't say anything.

Malu then noticed that the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" that was originally placed in the hall had been removed, and the entire hall seemed empty. No wonder Kangxi squinted his eyes because of the change in light.

Normally, the embroidered screen she carefully embroidered provided soft light, but today it was taken away, so Kangxi naturally felt it was a little dazzling.

Seeing that Kangxi did not speak, Ma Lu bowed gracefully and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you and congratulate you on your recovery."

Kangxi nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Malu, and after a moment, he slowly said: "You are here."

Malu nodded slightly and said softly, "I heard that the emperor has summoned you, so I dare not delay."

Kangxi looked towards the open space in the center of the hall, speaking in a leisurely tone, as if he was casually discussing something: "This hall is missing some of your screens, and I always feel like something is missing."

Kangxi clapped his hands gently. Liang Jiugong, who had quietly appeared from nowhere, immediately came forward with a group of people, holding some things.

Ma Lu looked up and saw the prayer flags she had embroidered for Emperor Kangxi's birthday, and next to them were several pots of golden lotus flowers brought from Yuqing Palace. The flowers embroidered with golden thread on the prayer flags were lifelike, and they contrasted beautifully with the flowers in the pots.

Seeing that Malu was calm and not panicked at all, Kangxi could no longer suppress his anger. A trace of pain and anger flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a trembling voice: "I don't understand, why?"

Malu sighed softly, raised her head and looked directly into Kangxi's eyes, without any fear in her eyes, and asked calmly, "Why?"

Kangxi's eyes were full of disappointment and anger. He raised his voice a few degrees and asked loudly: "Why did you betray me? Why did you seduce the prince? Am I not good enough for you?"

After saying that, Kangxi quickly picked up the tea bowl beside him and drank a mouthful of the medicine in it. He had just taken a strong medicine and just woke up, so it was not appropriate for him to get angry.

Malu shook her head and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I did not seduce you."

Kangxi snorted coldly, thinking that Malu was struggling to death, and said disdainfully: "Humph, you still want to quibble? Do you think I am blind or stupid? ! I just didn't expect you to be so bold! How dare you... How dare you have such dealings with the prince in front of me!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the prayer flags and golden lotus angrily, his eyes bloodshot, and he shouted almost out of control:

"Do you think that these are the only evidences I have? The Fourth Prince framed Concubine Mi for you, and the Crown Prince betrayed his father and the emperor for you! Even the Fourth Lady Guaerjia wanted to get rid of the Crown Prince's child for you, and there was also the dead trial marriage princess, and Chen Xin, who arranged for you two to meet in private many times - evil beast! Evil beast -"

"How dare you quibble! I already have enough evidence, and you still want to deny it?!"

Just as Kangxi was furious, Malu could not help but interrupt him: "Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want with me. But please send someone to Yuqing Palace to check——"

As she spoke, Malu felt her stomach churning, and she couldn't control it. She tried to hold back the discomfort and was about to continue, but she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't control the pain in her stomach, so she vomited.

After vomiting, he couldn't stop. Malu was so weak that he collapsed to the ground, but no one in the Qianqing Palace dared to help him.

How many concubines had Kangxi seen getting pregnant? Seeing her like this, his heart sank even more.

He thought of Rong Ji, the imperial physician whom he had been suspicious of since he woke up but had no evidence, so he decided to just get rid of him at once!

He was the most familiar with Rong Ji's medical skills. How could it take so long to wake him up? And every time he was vaguely conscious and about to wake up, he would faint due to external forces.

Restraining the urge to kill, he directly asked someone to call Rong Ji to check the imperial concubine's pulse.

Liang Jiugong quickly brought Rong Ji over and also called another imperial physician.

When Rong Ji arrived, he saw Malu lying on the cold ground. His heart tightened, but he could only bow to Kangxi without looking away: "Your Majesty, I greet you."

Kangxi had calmed down by now. He narrowed his eyes slightly, examined Rong Ji, and said, "If I remember correctly, you first served in Yonghe Palace, right?"

Rong Ji's heart trembled, and he replied calmly, "Your Majesty, it is true."

Kangxi stared at Rong Ji with a sharp gaze and said slowly, "Then tell me, what's going on with this imperial concubine?"

Rong Ji thought quickly in his mind, but said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. She may have been stimulated, causing the blood and qi to become disordered."

Kangxi sneered, his eyes full of suspicion and disdain, and said: "You know without feeling the pulse? Hurry up, come forward and feel the pulse."

Rong Ji, however, was reluctant to move.

Kangxi was furious and threw a teacup down, "Do you dare to disobey my order?"

Rong Ji gritted his teeth and prepared to kowtow to Kangxi.

Today, he had to obey his order.

Unexpectedly, Malu suddenly said, "Doctor Rong, please come in."

Rong Ji turned back to look at her in disbelief, but saw Malu smiling at him: "I know you are loyal to the emperor, but you don't want to embarrass your old master. It's okay, just report the truth as usual."

Rong Ji shook his head: "Your Majesty, the emperor no longer trusts me. I came with another imperial physician. No matter what conclusion I diagnose, the emperor will not believe it."

As he spoke, he straightened his back, looking like a subject who had to die if the king wanted him to.

Seeing that Rong Ji was still looking for an opportunity to remind himself at this time, Malu was deeply moved.

But she still stretched out her hand, revealing her wrist as white as jade: "Then as long as what you said matches that of the imperial physician behind, you can prove your innocence."
