The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 70: Finding Old Seven to Take the Blame

As soon as the Crown Prince and Imperial Physician Liang left, Kangxi opened his eyes. He was just angry at first, and he didn't expect that the wet nurse who raised him would betray him, so he fainted due to cerebral congestion.

He was actually already conscious when the imperial physician came in, but he didn't want the prince to know that he had fainted from anger in front of him, so he subconsciously hid it at that time.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but that didn't stop him from doing anything. As long as he didn't open his eyes, no one would be able to laugh at him.

At this time, Kangxi deceived himself and forgot that the cause of this incident was proposed by the Crown Princess. Although outsiders did not know why Kangxi called the imperial physician, the Crown Prince and his wife had a conversation at night, so wouldn't the cause and effect be obvious?

When Liang Jiugong saw the emperor wake up, he quickly brought the still warm medicine to him and said, "Your Majesty, the medicine that Imperial Physician Liang prescribed while you were unconscious was instructed to be drunk while it's hot. It's just right now."

Kangxi wanted to say, "You little dog slave, didn't you hear what Liang Imperial Physician said just now? That's just for removing heat. If it's for removing heat, then you can drink it or not. What's more, this bowl clearly has a lot more coptis root added."

But then he thought about it, he really hadn't heard Liang Jiugong's voice before. He must have gone to boil the medicine himself, so he didn't know what Liang Yuyi said? Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong with suspicion. Liang Jiugong tried to remain calm and pretended not to see it.

Seeing Liang Jiugong's guilt-free look and the slight pain in his chest, Kangxi hesitated and took the bowl of medicine. He wanted to drink it all, but when he smelled the taste, he told Liang Jiugong to prepare candied fruit. Then he drank it all in one gulp while Liang Jiugong looked at him as if he was looking at Baturu, and handed the candied fruit plate to the emperor before he frowned.

This medicine is really bitter! I really can’t trust that old thief Liang! Kangxi couldn’t breathe in or out, and felt that his chest was about to ache again. But he had no choice but to rely on Liang, the imperial physician, who was really good at it. After drinking a bowl of medicine, the emperor was now unable to get angry, and the pain in his chest gradually subsided.

In this situation, even if Kangxi wanted to get angry, he would have no reason to. It couldn't be because the medicine was bitter! Good medicine tastes bitter. He also has some medical knowledge. He can't just deny this just because he is the emperor. Isn't it unreasonable?

Seeing that the emperor had recovered, Liang Jiugong took the medicine bowl back. At this moment, Yinreng, who had returned from his absence, appeared before Kangxi and asked, "Father Emperor, are you feeling better?"

Kangxi felt a little awkward seeing Yinreng, but since he had already taken the medicine, he didn't care anymore. It just so happened that the Crown Prince was here, so he could just hand over the rest of the matter to him. After thinking about it, he decided that Yinreng couldn't get involved in this matter.

The bannermen families had already had issues with Yinreng due to his previous work on the Imperial Household Department. Even a small Daijia clan dared to test his hand, so he couldn't interfere this time. Apart from anything else, he still loved the twins dearly and didn't want them to be in any danger.

Then let Old Seven handle this matter. Although Old Seven has Baoyi blood, he has now been reformed into a Jade Butterfly. He can't be so confused as to save these Baoyi families, right? Besides, reforming the Jade Butterfly can also be considered as giving Old Seven some backing. Now that Old Seven is a prince of Mongolian origin, he has the support of the Mongols. If those Baoyi want to touch Old Seven, they must be prepared to bear the wrath of the Mongols.

As for the fourth son, Kangxi originally wanted him to do this matter, but you can't just take advantage of everyone. Last time, the blame was put on the fourth son. If the forces behind the Shi and Dong E families in the fourth son's backyard hadn't taken action, the fourth son would have definitely fallen. This time, the fourth son's wife is pregnant, and the baby may be the eldest son. Kangxi felt guilty and decided not to let the fourth son participate!

Thinking of this, Kangxi directly instructed Yinreng: "I haven't been feeling well these past two days. You should stay in Danningju and help me deal with the memorials. Oh, you should also keep an eye on the progress of your brothers' studies. In a couple of days, arrange for the twins to go to school!"

Then he waved his hand to signal Yinreng to kneel down and said to Liang Jiugong, "Go and call the seventh brother over. By the way, did anyone offend the Crown Princess today?"

Liang Jiugong had originally thought of going to find the Seventh Prince in person, but after hearing this, he could only wave to Wei Zhu to go, and he stood in front of Kangxi and told him about the little promised Crown Princess who was fine this morning and what happened to Bu Er and Heng Ji.

Kangxi didn't show much expression, just raised an eyebrow and said to Liang Jiugong, "Take off her green card. She won't be used anymore. Go find a Ruyi in the library and deliver it to her personally. I just relaxed my stance a little, but these people are like leeches, taking advantage of the situation. They are really a worry."

Seeing that Kangxi had no other instructions, Liang Jiugong replied yes and went to find Ruyi.

Liang Jiugong and Yinreng returned to Qingfeng House one after the other. Bu Erhe was a little puzzled by Liang Jiugong's arrival, but the prince smiled mysteriously. It seemed that the emperor remembered and came to make amends.

She shook her head at Buerhe, indicating that they should talk about it when the couple was alone together at night.

Liang Jiugong: "Your servant pays respects to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Buerhe: "Liang An Da, please excuse me. What do you want to ask the Emperor?"

Liang Jiugong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The Emperor knows that you were wronged this morning, so he asked me to personally bring you a Ruyi. As for the other person who offended your promise, please don't worry about it. The Emperor has already dealt with it."

Bu Erhe didn't ask any more questions. He thanked Eunuch Liang and gave him a purse before sending him away.

Meanwhile, at Qingxi Library, Wei Zhu had just brought back the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince, Yinyou, had a low sense of presence since childhood, and was born with a short leg and was quiet, so Emperor Kangxi didn't pay much attention to him.

However, no matter how many he was, he was still a prince, so Kangxi knew clearly that although his son had physical defects, he was one of the best in riding and shooting. If Galdan had not been wiped out early in his life, the Seventh Prince should at least be a Beizi now.

Kangxi said, "Seventh Brother, I asked you to come here today because I want to tell you something. If you can handle this matter well, I will no longer pursue Dai Jia's faults and will let bygones be bygones. What do you think?"

The seventh prince Yinyou is not the fourth prince Yinzhen. He grew up with Concubine Cheng and has a close relationship with his mother. It is emotionally difficult for him to accept the sudden change of his name to Yudie at such an old age. Besides, his mother raised him so much, and he would not be at ease even if she made a mistake. So when he heard Kangxi say that there was a chance to save his mother, Yinyou must have agreed without hesitation.

Kangxi: "Okay, I know that my sons are all good people, not afraid of difficulties, this... that..." After giving some instructions, he asked Liang Jiugong to bring the former deputy general manager Zhang Lin to hand him over to Yinyou, and then let him leave.

Now that the current problem was finally solved, Kangxi finally had some time to think about how to deal with his wet nurse.

Kangxi had many wet nurses, but the most famous one in later generations should be Madam Cao, the mother of Cao Yin. However, there was another woman who was more favored by the emperor than Madam Cao, namely Guaerjia.

There are not many records about this Guwalgiya in history. We only know that she was a servant of the Three Banners Baoyi Zuoling of the Imperial Household Department, and was posthumously named "Lady Baosheng" by Emperor Kangxi after her death.

It can be said that Lady Baosheng was indeed dedicated and responsible when Kangxi was young. She was personally selected by Empress Dowager Borjigit from among many nannies. She was chosen for her "prudence and honesty" and entered the palace to take care of the infant Xuanye.

Guaerjia was loyal to her duty and cared for Emperor Kangxi day and night, just like a loving mother. In order to take good care of Emperor Kangxi, Guaerjia even neglected her own family.

Emperor Kangxi spent most of his time away from home with his nanny to avoid smallpox, unable to enjoy the joys of a normal family. This experience, while a lifelong regret, also contributed to his deep bond with his nanny, Lady Guaerjia. Therefore, to repay Lady Guaerjia's kindness in raising him, Emperor Kangxi treated her generously, ensuring she enjoyed her remaining years.

According to historical records, in 1699, the th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Guaerjia fell seriously ill and was bedridden. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Kangxi immediately dispatched imperial physicians to treat her, sent her the finest medicines from the palace, and frequently sent inquiries about her condition.

Due to advanced age and overwork, Guaerjia passed away in the intercalary seventh month of that year. Upon hearing the tragic news, Emperor Kangxi was deeply saddened and personally went to Guaerjia's coffin to pay his respects and mourn.

Soon after, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict posthumously bestowing her the title of Lady Baosheng, and all funeral arrangements were handled by the imperial family. Furthermore, a fine plot of land was chosen near the imperial mausoleum, next to Lady Fengsheng's garden tomb, for Lady Baosheng's garden tomb, and officials were sent to offer sacrifices four times.

It can be said that Kangxi really treated this wet nurse as his own mother, and all the treatment he gave her was really not bad at all.

In recent years, because Guaerjia was not used to life outside the palace, Kangxi handed over the management of the inner treasury of the Qianqing Palace to her. This job was more like retirement than work. Every day, Guaerjia was served by two palace maids, and all her daily life was taken care of. Kangxi personally approved the treatment of her as a noble, and even rewarded her with some imperial meals that he thought were delicious from time to time.

This was Guarjia's husband, Tuksan, originally a casual official. Because his wife had made significant contributions in raising the young emperor, he was "repeatedly favored" and, in the sixth year of the Kangxi reign, was awarded the hereditary title of Baitalahafan, a higher rank. However, he has been dead for nearly twenty years now, so it's best not to mention him.

Kangxi couldn't understand why the wet nurse who had treated him so well would do such a thing. Was this still the wet nurse he remembered, who had refused to return home for his sake?

After dinner, Kangxi was tossing and turning, unable to figure out the problem and unable to fall asleep. He got up, put on his cloak, and asked Liang Jiugong to go out with a lantern to get some fresh air.

When he walked near the Empress Dowager's Zen mountain retreat, he saw that the courtyard was brightly lit and the Empress Dowager had obviously not rested yet. After thinking for a while, Kangxi stepped into the courtyard.

When the servants saw Kangxi, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Good luck to the emperor." Kangxi signaled the servants to go in and report, while he stood in the yard waiting.

The Queen Mother was in her room listening to Naren's gossip when she heard a servant announce that the Emperor had arrived. She instinctively glanced out the window. "It's so late, why is the Emperor here?" she asked. She exchanged a glance with Naren, then stood up and, supported by Naren, led her to the main gate.

Seeing Kangxi standing in the courtyard, the Empress Dowager asked in confusion, "Emperor, why are you here so late today? Although it is midsummer, it is still chilly at night. Please come in quickly!"

Kangxi shook his head and said, "My Queen Mother, I'm not cold. I'm just a little upset and want to talk to you."

The Empress Dowager nodded to Kangxi, then ordered the servants to decorate the pavilion in the yard. Nanny Naren also took out two blankets from the house, which were prepared in case the Empress Dowager felt cold and got sick easily.

Kangxi stepped forward, held the empress dowager's hand, and slowly walked into the pavilion.

The pavilion had been decorated at this time, and the tents covered the surroundings tightly. Not even a flying insect could break through this layer of defense and enter the inside. Lanterns were hung on the four corners of the pavilion. Although they could not illuminate as clearly as during the day, they were not blurry either, and the layout inside could be seen clearly.

On the stone table were two plates of snacks, a pot of hot tea, and a small, covered box. The Empress Dowager invited Kangxi to sit down, had Naren pour hot tea for them, opened the box, and dismissed all the servants.

Naren and Liang Jiugong led the servants away from the pavilion silently, but they stopped ten meters away. The location here was just right, as they could not hear the conversation in the pavilion and could still get there in time when their master needed them.

The Queen Mother pushed the box towards Kangxi. Only then did Kangxi see clearly that the box was filled with melon seeds. Each one was big and plump, and smelled of milk, which was very tempting.
