The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 150

Liu Shengfang trembled more and more, and replied stammeringly: "According to the slave's diagnosis, the date of concubine Xi's concubine should be from the tenth day of August to the thirteenth day of the eighth month. The slave's medical skills are superficial, and it is really impossible to diagnose more For the exact date... please forgive me, the emperor!"

When the Xianfu Palace incident happened, only Liu Shengfang was brought into the side hall by Kangxi to treat Nian Xilan.Liu Shengfang has a keen mind, how can she not guess what happened in the side hall?Although Kangxi's next clean and neat arrangement clearly showed his determination to protect Nian Xilan, but Liu Shengfang, who is also a man, could not believe that Kangxi had no qualms about this matter anyway.

Liu Shengfang believes that even if this incident happened in an ordinary family, most men in the world would care about it, and some even beat and scolded their wives and concubines, wrote divorce papers angrily, detested and alienated them, and forced their lives, not to mention How could the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the most respected emperor in the world, bear and swallow this bad breath?Even if it is for the sake of the beloved woman, there will inevitably be a thorn in the heart that cannot be removed.Can't mention it, can't touch it, and can't forget it.

However, Concubine Xi actually diagnosed the slippery pulse at this time, and the date of pregnancy happened to include that fatal day. Isn't this the same as stabbing the emperor's heart with a sharp knife?Don't say that this baby can't be born, even if she is lucky enough to give birth, sooner or later she will be rejected by the emperor and stay away.I'm afraid that at that time, even Empress Xi, brother 21 and princess [-] will be implicated.It can be seen from this that this fetus is a huge disaster, and it is better not to give birth.

August thirteenth.Whenever Kangxi thinks of the day when Xilan was injured this year, his heart still feels cramped and angry.Kangxi naturally understood why Liu Shengfang was so afraid, but what Kangxi was most worried about, Liu Shengfang never thought of.

Kangxi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "When recording the pulse record, advance the date of Concubine Xi's pregnancy by two days. If Concubine Xi asks about this, you only need to tell her that the date of pregnancy is most likely eighth." On the eighth day of the lunar month, at most it will be postponed for two more days. Can you hear me clearly? Don't let your words slip away in front of Concubine Xi."

Liu Shengfang was stunned for a while, and finally figured out the hidden meaning of Kangxi's words.Liu Shengfang suddenly realized that not only did the emperor not think of taking medicine to get rid of the fetus, but he tried every means to conceal the exact time of pregnancy from Concubine Xi.Judging by the situation, the emperor is determined to keep the baby.

After thinking this through, Liu Shengfang not only did not relax at all, but became even more frightened.Originally, Liu Shengfang deliberately mentioned to Kangxi the time when Nian Xilan was pregnant, and at the same time concealed other illnesses, with the intention of exonerating herself.

Liu Shengfang thought to himself that if the emperor knew the day when Concubine Xi's pregnancy was conceived, he would be concerned and decided to use medicine to induce pregnancy, then his crime of improper medicine and damage to the fetus would be lessened.However, now the emperor is determined to keep the baby.This is really going to kill me!

Now that the matter has come to this point, Liu Shengfang didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly replied in a trembling voice: "My Majesty, when Concubine Xi was seriously injured a few days ago, the servant did not diagnose the Xi pulse, so I was treating her head with medicine. When she was injured, she never avoided any taboos, so that the fetus in the womb of Concubine Xi was congenitally deficient and suffered from fetal poisoning... Most of this fetus will slip within three months... Even if you try your best to protect the fetus with medicine, I am afraid that the one born will be just A stillborn..."

Kangxi shook his body violently, stared at Liu Shengfang in shock, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Liu Shengfang was so nervous that she almost lost her breath, but she didn't dare to disobey Kangxi's will, so she repeated what she just said in a trembling voice.

Kangxi was so startled that he took two steps back, holding onto the case with his right hand to barely support himself.Kangxi was originally worried that the time of pregnancy would stimulate Nian Xilan to recall the unhappy past, so he deliberately ordered Liu Shengfang to change the date of pregnancy.However, now he suddenly learned that this fetus has great hidden dangers, and it is impossible to keep it.When Kangxi thought of Nian Xilan's sad and desperate appearance after learning about this, he felt distressed.

Kangxi asked again unwillingly: "The dragon fetus in Concubine Xi's womb...is it really impossible to keep it?"

Hearing Kangxi's words, Liu Shengfang's thoughts changed, she guessed Kangxi's thoughts, and carefully explained: "The dragon fetus in the womb of Concubine Xi was indeed affected by drugs, so that it was congenitally deficient. According to common sense, it is absolutely difficult to keep this fetus Yes. According to this situation, the longer the time delays, the greater the physical harm to Concubine Xi will be. The servant suggested that some mild abortion medicine should be used as soon as possible to give Concubine Xi the birth as soon as possible. Fortunately, Concubine Xi The empress is still young, so as long as she takes care of her properly, she can still give birth to an heir for the emperor."

When Liu Shengfang said this, there was a crisp sound, and Kangxi had already swung the teacup on the imperial case to the ground.Broken pieces of porcelain flew everywhere, and some even hit Liu Shengfang's body.

Seeing that Kangxi was so furious, Liu Shengfang hurriedly continued to explain: "Please appease the emperor! According to the humble opinion of this servant, there may still be room for reversing this matter. Concubine Xi is auspicious, blessed by heaven, and she can save herself from danger many times. Ordinary poisons are harmful to Xi. The empress concubine has no influence at all. The dragon fetus is connected to the empress by blood, so it may be able to get the protection of the empress and save the day. However, the matter of healing the eyes of the empress Xi is now at a critical juncture. If you continue to use medicine, it will be extremely detrimental to the dragon fetus. If in order to save the dragon fetus, the decoction to heal the eyes is stopped... I am afraid that it will be difficult for the eyes of the empress to heal in the future."

Kangxi heard that Liu Shengfang claimed that the baby might be saved, and before he had time to rejoice, he learned that if he wanted to keep the baby, he would have to sacrifice the best time to heal Nian Xilan's eyes.Nian Xilan may even miss this only chance to restore her eyesight, and she can only live in darkness for the rest of her life, never being able to see him and the children again.

Kangxi frowned, rubbed his forehead, and dismissed Liu Shengfang distractedly, "You should step back for now. Don't mention this matter to anyone, let me think about it..."
