Rong Fei is not honored

The imperial physician understood what Madam Ma Jia meant, so he gritted his teeth and said, "When I examined the little princess's pulse, I found that she had a cold in her body and was a little stunted. It seemed that she had not received enough, um, nourishment."

Although the imperial physician spoke in a tactful way, Kangxi and Ji Nai understood clearly that such a young child did not need any nourishment. It was obvious that the child was hungry and had caught a cold.

A princess of the Qing dynasty could not even have enough to eat, and even had to be tortured by servants. Kangxi took two deep breaths and asked Liang Jiugong to drag all the servants who served the little princess out and send them to the Ministry of Punishment.

A few people realized that something was wrong and wanted to cry out for mercy, but the young eunuchs led by Liang Jiugong covered their mouths to prevent them from making any sound and disturbing their master.

Kangxi got angry at the imperial physician again, "Since you had already diagnosed that something was wrong, why didn't you report it to me?"

The imperial physician knelt down and explained, "A few times before, I had already told Concubine Zhang that the little princess had caught a cold, but Concubine Zhang said it was because the weather was too cold and told me not to worry too much."

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and confessed directly: "Before His Majesty came, I had already reported to Concubine Zhang about the little princess's condition. But Concubine Zhang threatened me, saying that the little princess's condition was my dereliction of duty. She told me to do my best to treat her and not to say too much."

Kangxi felt a little regretful that he did not take Ji Nai's feelings to heart that day. He never thought that Zhang, as the biological mother of the little princess, did not notice at all that the servants who served the little princess were so negligent.

Looking at the skinny little body still struggling to breathe, Kangxi's eyes became sore. Zhang didn't care about the little princess at all. The rising tyranny in his heart made him want to kill someone.

Ji Nai took advantage of Kangxi's uneasy mood to pour a glass of water and dripped the spiritual liquid into it. She didn't dare to feed the water containing the spiritual liquid directly to the little princess. She could only wet it with a clean handkerchief and wipe the little princess' lips.

Perhaps she sensed the sweetness on her lips, and out of a desire to survive, she kept licking the wetness on her lips with her tongue. Ji Nai was surprised that this really worked, so he kept repeating the action.

After the little princess felt better, she asked the doctor to try to feed her medicine. After all, the amount of water that could be used to wet the lips with a handkerchief was very small, so when Ji Nai stopped, the water in the cup did not seem to have changed.

This was enough. Ji Nai was afraid that too much spiritual fluid would directly impact the little princess' body, making her unbearable, just like herself in the past, fainting from the pain.

Kangxi looked at Ji Nai's actions and felt a pang in his heart. How many people in the palace really treated the heir to the throne? Even the little princess's biological mother was so careless. Only Ji Nai was different. She didn't know how gentle her actions were just now, even though this was not her own child.

Kangxi suddenly felt impulsive and wanted to let Ji Nai be the mother of the little princess. But then he thought of Zhang's crazy look just now and was afraid that this was not a good decision.

After the Imperial Household Department sent a new nanny, Kangxi directly scolded the Imperial Household Department's manager, who came to apologize and send the maid off.

He said directly: "If the people sent here this time dare to neglect the little princess again, wait for me. And the servants, listen to me, if the little princess is in trouble, then you and your family members should go down together to accompany the little princess!"

On the way back, Kangxi waved his hand and asked Liang Jiugong to follow with the servants behind him. He asked in a rare and vulnerable tone: "How dare those servants treat my daughter like this?"

Ji Nai held his hand and did not try to comfort Kangxi first. Instead, he told him a cruel fact: "Your Majesty is busy with affairs and has no time to care about the little princess. Zhang is also confused. Without the pressure of the parents of the children, those servants will naturally become rampant. The servants who just came today are trembling with fear, and they will be like the previous ones after a long time."

"Besides, does Your Majesty really not know why those servants did this?"

Kangxi looked at Ji Nai and had a vague idea of the answer in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it.

"It is the Qing Dynasty's national policy for the princess to pacify Mongolia, and I dare not interfere. But the reality is that those servants have their own families, so why would they be willing to follow the princess to the Mongolian grasslands as a dowry? By then, the princess will be alone, and even if she is a rich and beautiful woman, the situation may not be very good, let alone those servants who come with her as a dowry. Besides, the grasslands are not as prosperous as the capital."

"So what?" Kangxi's voice was a little cold.

"If it's a little princess... then these servants will naturally return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The veins on Kangxi's forehead bulged. "So they are so bold as to want to kill my daughter?"

"Fortunately, the little princess is still fine now. As long as we pay more attention in the future, we can still take care of her health. It's better than us being kept in the dark all the time."

Kangxi pinched Ji Nai's chin and said coldly: "You have warned me before, so you knew it would be like this?"

Ji Nai was not afraid at all. She looked directly into Kangxi's eyes and said, "I don't know. It's just that I know that the child is fragile, so I always assume the greatest malice towards others and anticipate the dangers that the child may encounter in advance."

Kangxi's hand loosened, but he did not let go.

Ji Nai continued, "When the little princess was sick before, I didn't know the truth. But I always wanted to think too much, so I reminded Your Majesty and thought of asking you to check it out. If it's not the case, it would be the best. It was not until this time that I was sure that what I thought was correct. Besides, it's not difficult to guess what those servants are thinking, isn't it?"

Yes, the thoughts of those servants were vicious, but they were superficial and not very profound. At least, compared with those old foxes in the previous dynasty, Kangxi could see through the thoughts of these servants clearly.

But how could Kangxi think that way? As the master of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor who controlled the life and death of all people, how could he believe that a mere servant would have the guts to treat his daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Qing Dynasty, so harshly.

Kangxi suddenly felt a little weak, and he moved closer to Ji Nai, leaning against her. Ji Nai knew that Kangxi was in great pain, so she did not say anything, but just supported him silently.

Fortunately, Liang Jiugong was a man who understood the situation and had ordered people to clear the area in advance. If he saw a concubine coming over from afar, he would go forward and stop her.

But Kangxi is Kangxi after all, and he will not allow himself to be sad all the time.

Kangxi stood up again and said to Ji Nai apologetically: "I was emotional just now and hurt you." Kangxi touched the red mark on Ji Nai's chin. His eyes were full of seeing.

Ji Nai knew that Kangxi's mood had passed, and said, "I know that you just suspected that I had known about the little princess's situation for a long time, but because of my status, I didn't say it out loud, and let the little princess suffer from the torture of the servants. In fact, this is normal. After all, she is your daughter, and you are worried about her. If it was Chengrui, I would have such doubts."
