Kangxi acted as if nothing had happened, which made Yuan Xu sigh: "The emperor is really thick-skinned."

Later, when Kangxi was chatting with Ji Nai, he mentioned incense and asked Ji Nai whether he liked it.

"This incense is even better than last time. Thank you, Your Majesty. Speaking of which, I was also used to spices when I was at home, but later I gave them up for the sake of my children. The only scent I could smell on a normal day was ambergris."

Looking at Ji Nai's happy expression, Kangxi's eyes were dazed for a moment.

Ji Nai realized that something was wrong with the spices so quickly, which was not what Kangxi had expected. So Ji Nai's performance deceived Kangxi, who was feeling guilty, and at the same time he also noticed Kangxi's momentary unnaturalness.

There was no need to ask Imperial Doctor Wu for advice now. Kangxi's attitude had already explained everything. Ji Nai's heart sank, but he could only pretend that he knew nothing.

At night, Ji Nai was awakened by dreams several times, but every time Kangxi asked about it, Ji Nai just said it was a nightmare, "I am fine, Your Majesty has to attend the court early tomorrow, you should rest first."

"I asked Liang Jiugong to invite the imperial physician."

Ji Nai held Kangxi back, "Really, there's no need. Besides, tomorrow is the day to check your pulse. There's no need to call in the imperial physician in the middle of the night. I'm living in the Qianqing Palace now. If I call in the imperial physician in the middle of the night, it will inevitably make everyone panic and worry about your health."

"Then you must ask the imperial physician to take a good look at it tomorrow. Never mind. I will come and accompany you then."

Ji Nai agreed with a smile, but he had no intention of doing so. If Kangxi was really present, how would he perform the next play?

In the dark night, Ji Nai lay softly in Kangxi's arms, but his eyes were cold.

The next day, Ji Nai's face turned pale and he kept covering his chest from time to time.

Matron Li asked worriedly, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night and kept having nightmares."

Nanny Li looked at Yuqin, it was she who was on guard last night.

Yuqin has always been careful, and she heard everything that happened last night. However, since the Emperor and the master did not summon her, she did not want to go in and disturb them, but she carefully counted the noises inside.

At this moment, in response to Li Ma's question, Yuqin replied with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Last night, the master woke up at least three times. This has never happened before."

That's right. With the nourishment of the spiritual liquid, Ji Nai is in excellent health and he insists on exercising. Apart from exercising or worrying about his children at night, he always falls asleep immediately.

Nanny Li thought about it and advised, "The master is not feeling well, why not let Doctor Wu come over earlier?" It was not the time to take his pulse yet. The master was not feeling well, and it could not be delayed until then.

Ji Nai nodded, as if he had completely forgotten what Kangxi said last night.

Imperial Physician Wu arrived soon and carefully took Rongpin's pulse.

Ji Nai realized that Doctor Wu had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative to speak: "Everyone says that having many children brings good fortune, but I don't know how long my good fortune can last."

Nanny Li and the others turned pale with fear, "Why did the master say such an unlucky thing?"

Ji Nai noticed that Doctor Wu's hand trembled twice, but he pretended not to see it. "Last night's dream was too horrifying and too real. It's really hard to be at peace."

Nanny Li hurriedly asked Doctor Wu, "Doctor Wu, is the master okay?"

"Empress Rong is in good health, but she had a nightmare last night, which caused her to feel depressed. This is a heart disease. As long as she is open-minded, she will be able to recover without any medicine."

"Since my health is good, will I still be blessed with a child in the future? To be honest with the imperial physician, even though I already have three sons and one daughter, I still want to give birth to another princess for His Majesty."

Now, everyone knows that Concubine Rong’s nightmare last night must have been related to the young masters. Who dares to say that Concubine Rong is not blessed?

Are you cursing your master when you say Rongpin is unlucky? Are you cursing the princes and princesses?

But if Imperial Physician Wu admitted it, what if Concubine Rong asked him to take care of her own health and ensure that Concubine Rong could have more children for His Majesty? What should he do then?

In the past, Imperial Doctor Wu would have been very willing to take on this task. After all, everyone knew that Concubine Rong was a good fertile woman. But now...

Imperial Physician Wu was preparing a plan, thinking about how to avoid offending Concubine Rong and getting himself into trouble. While thinking, Imperial Physician Wu felt a strong presence, and because he was distracted thinking, he subconsciously raised his head.

Then, his eyes met those of Concubine Rong.

(The imperial physician was a servant, while the concubine was the master and the emperor's woman, so even when taking the pulse, they would avoid suspicion. For example, they would put a silk handkerchief on their wrists, and they would not raise their heads or look directly at their masters unless it was necessary to "look, smell, ask and feel".)

Doctor Wu wanted to die. Why were Concubine Rong's eyes so creepy, as if she had seen through everything?

Doctor Wu quickly lowered his head, sweating coldly. Why did he feel that Concubine Rong had seen through everything? Could it be? This was the order of His Majesty, who had specifically instructed not to reveal it. Who was so fearless as to disobey the Emperor's will?

Although Concubine Rong has a mixed reputation in the harem, everyone in the Imperial Hospital knows that none of the masters in the harem are simple. If they want to survive, they must be extremely cautious when dealing with the concubines and ladies.

Otherwise...just look at how His Majesty has only been on the throne for a few years, and several people have already been killed in their Imperial Hospital.

But, then again, he was deeply involved with Zhongcui Palace. From the first time he was plotted against and forced to "deceive the emperor", he had already boarded the pirate ship of Zhongcui Palace.

Imperial Physician Wu did not notice it at the time, but after it happened many times, Imperial Physician Wu realized that he seemed to be being targeted by Concubine Rong.

Doctor Wu's first reaction was not panic or excitement, but surprise. After all, in the Imperial Medical Service, his medical skills were not considered very advanced, and he was not proficient in gynecology and pediatrics.

Previously, he was assigned to check the pulse of Concubine Rong, but it happened that the older doctors with better medical skills were not there, so Doctor Wu had the opportunity to go to Zhongcui Palace. But he didn't know why he was often assigned to check the pulse of Concubine Rong.

Thinking of this, Imperial Doctor Wu felt numb. Could it be that he had already fallen into Concubine Rong's trap?

However, he did not know that although Ji Nai wanted to have his own person in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he did not want to attract the attention of the Empress Dowager and Kangxi. As for several experienced imperial physicians, as long as Ji Nai made the slightest move, he would be discovered immediately no matter how careful he was.

After the incident between Hesheli and Imperial Physician Hu, Kangxi tightened his control over the Imperial Medical Bureau. Ji Nai had no choice but to settle for the second best and choose Imperial Physician Wu.
