Rong Fei is not honored

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful. We should ask the Imperial Hospital to conduct a thorough investigation."

After she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager showed a hesitant look, which attracted Kangxi's attention. "Grandmother, do you have anything else to say?"

"Alas, everyone in the palace is restless. When Huipin mentioned Yilanhua today, she also brought up another matter. Does the emperor know about it?"

"The Empress Dowager is talking about the Irgen Jueluo family sending flowers?"

"That's right. Although Rongpin took the lead in sending the flowers back, Huipin threw them away without giving face, which led the concubines to follow suit. But, I don't know if there were any omissions in the process."

"Is the Empress Dowager afraid that someone else will know about the problem with the Yilan flower, so she deliberately took advantage of the situation and left some things behind?" The royal family is no shortage of conspiracy theories. With the reminder of the Empress Dowager, Kangxi quickly thought of the worst case scenario.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu, who were following Kangxi, were shocked and began to desperately recall whether similar things had appeared in the palaces of their masters.

"Perhaps there is no pot of flowers placed openly, but in order to conceal the truth, pollen and flower juice are used to make something else?"

"If so, it's hard to guard against." Kangxi had no doubt about the means that the women in the harem would use to win favor. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he was in great danger. If there was another person like Hesheli in the palace who wanted to kill the king, his life would be in danger.

Although, in most cases, it is impossible to attack Kangxi because the risk and reward are not proportional, but how could Kangxi take his life to gamble on this possibility?

"Does the Empress Dowager have any good ideas?" In fact, Kangxi had thought of a way, but it was not easy for him to say it out loud. It would be most appropriate for the Empress Dowager to propose it.

The Empress Dowager cooperated and said, "Investigate! Not only must all palaces be checked, but all concubines must also have their pulses examined by the imperial physician again."

“If there really was something fishy going on, they wouldn’t have brought such an important item with them, and it would most likely be hidden in the palace.

I am also afraid that some things left over from the struggles in the harem of the previous dynasty may hurt the emperor and the royal heir. I will take this opportunity to investigate it inch by inch, which will make people feel more at ease.

As for the latter, I am not unaware that those people in the Imperial Medical Service helped to tamper with medical records under coercion or inducement.

It just so happens that when I search the palace, I will ask you and the imperial physician whom I trust to re-diagnose my pulse, right under my nose. I want to see who dares to do anything wrong! "

The Empress Dowager noticed that Kangxi looked a little unnatural and asked, "Why, are you hiding something from me?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "There is one thing, Grandmother, Rongpin is pregnant."

The Empress Dowager suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, otherwise how could she hear the Emperor say that Concubine Rong was pregnant again? It couldn't be Concubine Rong, but someone else, right?

But when the Empress Dowager looked at Su Malagu, she found that she was also shocked and incredulous. So, did she hear it wrong? "I didn't hear clearly. The Emperor just said, who is pregnant?"

"It's Rongpin."

The Empress Dowager exhaled: "Really, what a blessing..."

After saying that, the Grand Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi reproachfully, "Your Majesty, why don't you pay attention? Frequent pregnancies are extremely harmful to a woman's body and may even affect her lifespan. If Your Majesty really loves her, wouldn't you want Rongpin to stay with you for a long time?"

Kangxi touched his nose embarrassedly, "I and Rongpin were also surprised that she got pregnant so quickly, but we have asked the imperial physician to check it out. Rongpin is fine except that she is a little weak."

Kangxi said this not only to reassure the Empress Dowager, but also to tell her implicitly that Ji Nai's frequent births of children were not due to any means, but were God's will.

The Grand Empress Dowager could naturally hear the hidden meaning of Kangxi's words, but she still had some concerns, "Was it Doctor Wu who diagnosed the pulse?" The Grand Empress Dowager meant that Doctor Wu was good at gynecology, but might not be familiar with some secret medicines.

"I was worried at the time, so I asked Imperial Physician Liu to take a look as well."

The Empress Dowager was relieved. Imperial Physician Liu had rich experience and had seen some of the secret methods of the previous dynasty. Since he didn't say there was a problem, it was most likely true.

So, Concubine Rong is really lucky.

The Empress Dowager said with concern: "This is Rongpin's fourth child, which will surely make some people jealous. We should really keep it a secret. By the way, Rongpin is a few months old now. If she is less than three months old, it is better not to tell anyone. I will inform the imperial doctors when the time comes."

Kangxi said embarrassedly: "Rongpin has been pregnant for almost five months. Fortunately, she has just shown her pregnancy and the baby is not big, so she can keep it secret."

In fact, Ji Nai was plump. When she was pregnant and raising a child, she was used to wearing loose clothes, unlike other people who deliberately tightened their waists. Even if someone felt something was wrong, they would only think that Ji Nai had gained weight after giving birth. In addition, Ji Nai did not like to go out, so she had few opportunities to meet outsiders, so she successfully concealed it this time.

After all, no normal person would have thought that Concubine Rong would be pregnant again so soon.

"Five months!" The Empress Dowager stood up in shock. Rongxian was only a few months old! The Empress Dowager pointed at Kangxi and scolded, "You are too reckless."

Kangxi humbly admitted his fault and finally persuaded the Empress Dowager to stop. Then he said, "I never thought that Rongpin would get pregnant the first time she slept with him after she came out of confinement."

The Empress Dowager was too lazy to talk to him. He invited her to his wife's house right after her confinement. Was that reasonable? But it was true that the Emperor had been wronged after ten months of pregnancy. He was used to eating rich food and porridge, so he didn't care about plain porridge and small dishes. These people in the palace were really disappointing.

"Since it's only been five months, I can tell everyone. Hiding it will only make people suspicious. What I'm most afraid of is that if someone notices something and takes advantage of it under the pretext of not knowing, it will end badly."

Kangxi nodded. What the Empress Dowager said made sense. He and Ji Nai had never thought of keeping it a secret forever.

"By the way, now that it has been confirmed that Yilan flowers have appeared in the Socho Luo palace, how will the emperor deal with it?"

Kangxi frowned in disgust. He now disliked the cunning Sochorolo. He didn't remember at all that he thought it was comfortable to go to Sochorolo's palace, which was why he favored her several more times.

"This should be the conspiracy of Irgen Gioro. Sochorolo is pregnant with the royal heir. Your Majesty..." The Empress Dowager wanted to persuade Kangxi.

"Perhaps the two of them are in collusion? Even if Suochuolo is really innocent, she has benefited in the end. Don't worry, Grandmother. I know the difference between her and Hesheli, and I won't do anything."

But that was all. It was impossible to ask him to pay attention to this child and the Socho Luo family. He felt uncomfortable with that.
