Doctor Wu's brain was working rapidly, analyzing the pros and cons.

In fact, Imperial Physician Wu was not unmoved by the olive branch extended by Zhongcui Palace. After all, in this palace, being an imperial physician is a high-risk profession.

If she wasn't careful, she would be dragged into the fights between concubines, or threatened, "If you can't cure so-and-so, you will be buried with him!"

If he could have a master, especially Concubine Rong, the most important lady in the harem, then Doctor Wu's life and property would be protected.

The reason why Concubine Rong is called the first is not because she is so favored. After all, favor in the palace is just a mirage and cannot last long, but because of the several princes under Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong is blessed. Not only can she give birth to children, but all of them are healthy. As long as they don't fall victim to a plot like Prince Chengrui, and if nothing unexpected happens, the children will grow up safely.

The people in the Imperial Hospital all privately believed that as long as the masters of Zhongcui Palace did not commit suicide, Concubine Rong would have more blessings to come!

Therefore, how could Doctor Wu not be tempted by the Zhongcui Palace's offer? Besides, bribery and coercion have always been a series of tactics.

If he refused the invitation of Zhongcui Palace and offended Concubine Rong, she would be so angry that she would tell His Majesty about her previous deceitful behavior...

After thinking it over, Imperial Physician Wu was ready to agree, just waiting for Concubine Rong to speak up, or for him to express his loyalty implicitly when taking Concubine Rong's pulse. However, he didn't expect this to happen.

His Majesty actually asked them to prescribe contraceptive medicine for Concubine Rong, which must not only not harm Concubine Rong's body, but also must not let Concubine Rong notice!

Originally, he should not have known such a secret. After all, he was not the Emperor's confidant, and his medical skills were not very advanced. But who let him know about Concubine Rong's physical condition?

Imperial Physician Wu was captured and forced to prepare contraceptive medicine together with Imperial Physician Liu and others, and was threatened not to tell anyone about it.

Imperial Physician Wu should be thankful that as an ordinary imperial physician, no one thought that Concubine Rong would win him over just because of a few times of taking Ping'an's pulse, so he escaped the disaster and was not directly punished.

Anyone who can work for His Majesty is truly amazing. In just half a month, he managed to concoct a contraceptive incense that would not harm the body.

After this thing came out, the director of the court specifically warned that it must not flow into the harem. Otherwise, if it was known by some concubines and caused problems for the Emperor's offspring, they would all die.

Imperial Doctor Wu was troubled for many days and did not dare to tell Concubine Rong. After all, that was the Emperor!

When he took the patient's pulse several times afterwards, Doctor Wu's eyes were a little evasive, and he was very nervous, fearing that Concubine Rong would notice something strange. But today, what Doctor Wu was worried about happened.

Doctor Wu complained bitterly in his heart, what kind of thing is this! He dotes on others, but doesn't want them to have children, making them servants in a dilemma.

To say or not to say, that is the question.

If he said it, it would mean that he had completely turned to the Zhongcui Palace, and from then on, Concubine Rong would be his master; if he didn't say it, it would mean that he was standing on the opposite side of the Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Rong would not only not recruit him again, but would instead regard him as an enemy.

However, although Doctor Wu thought a lot, only a few breaths of time had passed, and the reality did not allow him to think slowly.

It was the first time that Doctor Wu realized that his brain could work so quickly.

Finally, Doctor Wu thought about the Emperor, the young Prince Yinreng, Prince Yinzhi who was raised outside the palace, and the several princes in Zhongcui Palace.

I gritted my teeth and decided to give it a try!

"Master Rongpin is naturally a blessed person. As long as you take good care of your health, you will naturally have the opportunity to give birth to another heir for His Majesty."

There was nothing wrong with what Doctor Wu said. To people who didn't know the truth, it just sounded like auspicious words said just to please Concubine Rong. As for whether Concubine Rong would get pregnant again in the future, he didn't make any promises.

But in the ears of Ji Nai and Li Ma, this was not the case. They keenly noticed that Doctor Wu's title had changed from "Empress Rongpin" to "Master Rongpin".

In fact, strictly speaking, only those above the rank of concubine can be called "Empress", but the ranks of the harem have not been determined, and His Majesty has stipulated that the rank of concubine is also the main position of a palace, so in order to please people, it is not wrong to flatter them by calling them "Empress".

Therefore, Ji Nai was addressed as Master Rongpin and Madam Rongpin when outside.

Doctor Wu changed his words now, it certainly wasn't to offend anyone, so this was a sign of surrender.

"That's good." Ji Nai did not forget that he was in the Qianqing Palace, and did not react to Doctor Wu's surrender.

Doctor Wu was sent out of the Qianqing Palace with trepidation, and he could not stop worrying: Did Concubine Rong accept his surrender, or not? Could everything today be a misunderstanding? In fact, Concubine Rong knew nothing.

It was not until he stepped into the gate of the Imperial Medical Bureau that Doctor Wu suddenly realized that he had not received any reward for taking Ping An's pulse today.

So, I was accepted.

Doctor Wu couldn't suppress his excitement, but he was worried that he was overthinking. He wanted to rush to the master Rongpin again and get a word of affirmation. But reason stopped Doctor Wu in time. No matter how anxious he was, he had to wait until the master returned to Zhongcui Palace.

Nanny Li recalled that Doctor Wu had just emphasized the words "take good care of yourself", and she knew that her and her master's guess was true. Even though this was the most unwilling result, she had to face this fact.

Nanny Li looked at her master who had been in a daze since Imperial Doctor Wu left. She felt a little reluctant, but more worried, worried about the future of the entire Zhongcui Palace.

"Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I had nightmares last night, so I'm a little tired."

Nanny Li opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. Didn't the imperial physician say that I'm fine? Maybe I just had a nightmare last night. I just need to rest for a while."

"Then let Yuqing serve you and take a rest for a while?"

"Forget it. I've rested enough during the day, but I'll be restless at night."

Hearing the word "uneasy", Nanny Li's eyelids twitched. She seemed to understand what her master meant, but it was just her guess after all, and she needed to confirm it in the evening.

at night

Ji Nai's face didn't look very good, so Kangxi did nothing and just fell asleep holding Ji Nai in his arms.

In the middle of the night, Ji Nai fell into a nightmare again. She looked painful and trembling all over, but no matter how she struggled, she could not escape from the nightmare.

Kangxi, who was standing beside him, noticed something was wrong almost immediately. He turned over and sat up, holding Ji Nai in his arms, "Ji Nai, Ji Nai, wake up, Ji Nai, wake up."

Seeing Ji Nai's face even more embarrassed than at night, Kangxi's heart ached. Fortunately, he did not completely let his mind down because of the imperial physician's diagnosis. He was alert when he fell asleep, so he noticed that something was wrong with Ji Nai at the first time.
