Kangxi paused, and without bothering to tidy up the things on the table, he turned around and ran out. Seeing this, Li Dequan hurriedly followed him.

"emperor!"

As soon as Little Li finished reporting the news, he went straight back to Qingxi Palace. The situation here was urgent, and as the chief eunuch, he had to stay here.

Fortunately, the Qianqing Palace and the Qingxi Palace are very close, and not long after Leo came back, Kangxi arrived at the door.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"

The servants of Qingxi Palace knelt on the ground to pay their respects. Kangxi waved his hand and was about to go inside, but was stopped by Li Dequan.

He knew that the emperor and the imperial concubine had a good relationship, but now the palace gates were wide open. If any eunuch or palace maid saw it and spread it, who knows what kind of big deal it would become.

Besides, it’s useless for the emperor to go in now. What help can he provide other than causing trouble?

"Your Majesty, you can't go in!"

Kangxi wanted to shake off his hand, but Li Dequan actually hugged his legs and sat on the ground.

"Li Dequan, let me go!"

"Your Majesty, there are people watching outside, please calm down!"

Kangxi stopped moving. Li Dequan's reminder was indeed reasonable. He was so anxious that he lost his mind.

"Little Li, close the palace gates. No one can come in without my permission!"

Little Lizi responded and went to take charge of the palace gate. He gave instructions to the eunuch guarding the gate and warned the servants before standing beside Li Dequan.

Inside the hall, when Kangxi entered, Harigana was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

In addition to Doctor Zhao, there were two other doctors taking her pulse. Du Lan was standing beside them, and Nanny Hu was also there.

"Slave,"

When the group saw Kangxi, they wanted to salute him, but Kangxi waved his hand and exempted them from the ceremony.

"How is your concubine?"

I walked to Harigana and looked at her pale face and sweaty forehead. I felt worried and scared, and my hands were shaking with nervousness.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the Empress is about to give birth, but she is pregnant with twins, and I cannot guarantee when the labor will begin.

But judging by the pulse, I don't think it will take more than three days.

I will make you a bowl of medicine now. After drinking it, you will no longer feel the pain like you do now."

Doctor Zhao sighed in his heart that this person's life was better than he could have imagined.

The Emperor's birthday is coming soon. It would be a great blessing if these two children were born on that day.

"Go!"

There were only Harigana and Kangxi in the room, even Dulan was driven out by him.

"Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi helped her wipe the sweat off her face, wishing he could suffer this pain for her.

Harigana didn't have the energy to talk to him. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths, trying to ease the pain.

Kangxi didn't dare to say too much to her at this time, so as not to upset her and make her feel even worse.

The fact that the imperial concubine of Qingxi Palace was about to give birth could not be concealed, nor did anyone want to conceal it deliberately.

So after a while, not only the people in the harem knew about this, but even people outside the palace knew about it.

Cining Palace.

"Giving birth?"

The Empress Dowager put down the brush in her hand and looked at the destroyed Diamond Sutra, her mind in turmoil.

Pregnant with two children, she thought the woman from the Borchijin tribe would give birth prematurely, but she didn't expect that she would carry the children to nine months.

If it were a child, it would be considered premature now.

But she was pregnant with two, so it made sense for her to give birth at this time.

"You go and take a look. I won't go!"

Su Malagu sighed in her heart, said nothing more, and turned to go to Qingxi Palace.

However, in the end, it was unsuccessful.

After the Queen Mother received the news, she wanted to go, but the eunuch told her that the gate of Qingxi Palace was closed and no one was allowed to enter, so she gave up the idea.

However, the Queen Mother asked the head maid to wait at the gate of Qingxi Palace, and took her wet nurse to the storeroom to choose gifts.

With two children and one adult, no one can be left behind, and even the best things are needed.

However, everyone in the harem felt that Harigana might be doomed this time, after all, it had only been nine months.

Outside the gate of Qingxi Palace, a young eunuch watched for a long time and then disappeared on the official road, thinking that he had done it without anyone noticing. However, he had no idea that this might be his last time doing something for his master.

In a palace in the imperial palace, after listening to the eunuch's report, he sent the man away and stood by the window with a flickering look in his eyes.

But she is young after all, and her complexion is difficult to conceal, revealing her true inner feelings.

The people in Qingxi Palace had no idea what was happening outside. They were now doing what Nanny Su had arranged in an orderly manner and did not dare to delay at all.

Doctor Zhao prepared the medicine quickly. After drinking it, Harigana did not feel as much pain, but he began to feel sleepy again and fell asleep in a short while.

Harigana was tossing and turning all night long, and Kangxi stayed with her all night without any rest.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Dequan could only quietly remind Kangxi to go to court at the door.

"Li Dequan, stop courting today!"

Kangxi's words stunned everyone present. Although Harigana was also a little shocked, she still endured the pain and persuaded him.

"Xuan Ye, don't make me angry. I'm in enough pain right now! I can't give birth for a while, so go to court quickly."

He didn't attend court before because of himself, and this matter will be known to everyone sooner or later.

But if it is really because she didn't go to court to give birth to a child, then her reputation will be ruined and she will never be able to wash it off.

Kangxi wanted to say something, but in the end he obediently went to court.

He arrived at the Qianqing Gate on time, and looking at the crowd of ministers below, he felt extremely irritated.

An emperor wanted to accompany his wife during childbirth, but was stopped by an early morning court session.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Li Dequan looked at Kangxi who was worried, and even interrupted him to speak. It can be imagined how anxious he was.

"emperor!"

An official walked out from behind and knelt in the middle of the court.

"Tell me what's going on!"

Kangxi was in a bad mood, but since everyone had already come out, he could only listen.

I thought it was something important, but it turned out that I wanted to persuade him to participate in the draft.

He clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, wanting to get angry, but ultimately suppressed his anger.

"Your Majesty, the selection is for the sake of our country and our people. Please agree." The minister knelt on the ground and spoke in a loud voice.

"Besides him, who else do you want to talk about this?"

Kangxi did not answer him, but asked other officials below as he had done in previous times.

As mentioned before, Kangxi was very vengeful during this period. Some people had already seen that the emperor would take revenge later, so no one dared to stand up.

After watching for a while and making sure that no one came out, Kangxi chuckled.

"Look, it's not that I disagree, but no one else thinks there should be a talent show except you, so don't mention this matter again.

If you really want me to hold a selection, go and lobby all the civil and military officials. As long as they all agree, I will definitely hold a selection."
