Sure enough, after hearing Dulan's words, not only did Tong Jia's face change drastically, but even the Empress Dowager's face turned gloomy.

Dulan was comfortable, her master was noble. If Kangxi was not the emperor and did not hold the power of life and death, she would not let anyone bully her princess!

"Go ask Li Dequan to bring me some clean clothes!"

Kangxi glanced at the dirt on his clothes, which were covered with Harigana's blood. He frowned and thought that he should change them to prevent Harigana from worrying about him.

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Although Dulan said this intentionally, he followed all the necessary etiquette. When he passed by Tong Jia and the Empress Dowager, he even bowed properly, and there was nothing wrong with him.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's medicine is ready!"

Imperial Physician Zhao personally carried the bowl of soup into the emperor's tent, fearing that someone would tamper with the soup along the way, and that all nine clans of the imperial physicians would be in danger.

Hairi took it and prepared to feed it to Harigana, but she was lying down and couldn't be fed at all.

But without waiting for Harigana to say anything, Kangxi directly hugged her in his arms, carefully avoiding the wound on her shoulder.

"Be careful!"

Kangxi told Hai Ri to be careful when feeding the medicine so as not to hurt Harigana. This cautious look made Tong Jia and the Empress Dowager, who were not far away, have their own thoughts in their minds.

Fortunately, Harigana did not bite her lips as tightly as last time, so Hairi was able to feed her the medicine smoothly. When Kangxi put Harigana down, Li Dequan had already brought clean clothes over.

"Grandmother, I'll be in your tent later! You should go back and rest first!"

Kangxi knew what the Empress Dowager wanted to say, but now that Harigana was like this, he absolutely could not leave!

Bumbutai nodded. Although she looked down on Harigana, she was suffering for Kangxi after all, so she nodded and left with Sumalagu.

"Xuanye, you must take care of yourself! Let the imperial physician check your pulse later so that I can feel more at ease."

When she reached the door of the imperial tent and looked at Kangxi, who was looking very solemn, she said this. No matter what, Bumbutai was Kangxi's imperial maternal grandmother!

"Yes! Don't worry, Grandmother, I know what's going on!" Kangxi said, holding the clean clothes, he glanced at Tong Jia who was still standing there and said, "Tong Jia, you can go too!"

Kangxi did not give Tong Jia any good face. Although he admitted that he was suspected of taking his anger out on others, if Tong Jia had not caused trouble that day, he would not have ignored Harigana and would not have thought of taking her out to relax.

In this way, what happened today would not have happened. He admitted his mistake and also admitted that he had fallen in love with Harigana since the first time he saw her, but he had been avoiding her.

Fortunately, he woke up not too late. As long as Harigana can get through this hardship safely, he won't ask for anything else in the future. He only hopes that the two of them can live the rest of their lives in peace.

"emperor!"

Tong Jia wanted to stay here and help take care of her sister, but she swallowed the words back. After all, she was only a Tong Jia concubine, while Harigana was a concubine with a title.

It is obvious who is more noble.

"Concubine, please retire!"

Blood was already seeping from Tong Jia's palms, but the anger and unwillingness in her heart prevented her from feeling any pain.

After everyone in the imperial tent had left, Kangxi asked Li Dequan to bring in a basin of clean water. After a simple wipe, he changed into new clothes!

"You don't need to wash this dress. Just keep it like this and don't throw it away!"

Kangxi looked at the bloodstains on the clothes and wanted to use them to remind himself that he must be nice to Harigana in the future, otherwise he would be unworthy of her kindness.

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Li Dequan had become accustomed to Kangxi's recent abnormal behavior. Not to mention that he wanted to keep the bloody clothes, he was not surprised even if he kept Harigana's clothes for collection.

Kangxi sat beside the bed, looking at Harigana who was still unconscious, gently holding her hand and not wanting to let go.

During this period, Li Dequan still asked Kangxi to take his pulse. Although there were no external injuries, it was still better to be careful.

"I'm going to go to the Empress Dowager. You stay here and don't let anyone get close except me."

Kangxi told Dulan that although he usually looked down on her, she was the one he trusted most at times like this.

Du Lan quickly knelt on the ground and said, "This servant will definitely take good care of the Empress. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Before leaving, Kangxi asked Li Dequan to stay here, and brought Little Li with him, just in case!

"Grandma!"

The Empress Dowager had been waiting for Kangxi, wanting to see how important she was to her grandson. But until now, when it was already dark, Kangxi hurried over to her side.

It was impossible to say that she didn't feel sad, especially because of a woman from the Borchijin tribe, which made her even more sad!

"Xuanye! How's it going? Are you awake?"

Kangxi was a little surprised. He knew how much the Empress Dowager disliked Harigana, so he was a little uncomfortable with her sudden concern for him.

Although his mind was in turmoil, he showed no sign of it. He replied with a worried look on his face, "Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern. Harigana hasn't woken up yet, but she is a blessed person and will be fine!"

Bumbutai nodded and said, "I just heard the maid of Concubine Chen call her Imperial Concubine, what's going on?"

On his way here, Kangxi thought that the Empress Dowager might ask about this matter, but he didn't have time to ask him now.

"Grandmother, Harigana was seriously injured in order to save me. I will promote her to the rank of Imperial Consort, as a token of my congratulations!"

If it was any other reason, Bumbutai could have refuted it directly, but with such an excuse, even after three dynasties, she couldn't say no.

On the surface, it was indeed Harigana who helped Kangxi to avoid disaster. If she refuted this matter because of a position, it would definitely be difficult for the people of Khorchin to get promoted in the future.

"But isn't the position of Imperial Concubine a bit too high? Did Xuanye forget that she has another title? How should Tong Jia cope with this?"

Bumbutai would not disagree, but it was always right to raise reasonable questions. Moreover, Tong Jia had been very much favored by Kangxi before. What kind of choice would he make between the two women now was the most important thing, and that was what Bumbutai wanted to know the most!

"Grandmother, let's discuss this matter later when we return to the palace. Right now, Harigana's health is the most important thing."

Kangxi had his own plans in mind, but some things had not been completely dealt with, so he could not tell everything even to the Empress Dowager.
