The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 237

Concubine De saw Kangxi's skeptical look, and she was secretly proud of herself, but she heard Kangxi suddenly asked in a deep voice: "I remember that when Concubine Xi was running for the election two years ago, you asked me to give her to the fourth son as a side Fujin From this point of view, your determination to maintain the so-called historical trend does not seem to be as firm as you said."

Concubine De panicked, but she still argued frankly: "The reason why I do this is precisely to maintain the orthodoxy of heaven. The emperor must be very clear about Concubine Yi's temper. Over the years, as long as the concubine agrees to something , she always deliberately contradicts the concubine. If the concubine hadn't first mentioned the matter of marrying Nian for the fourth elder brother, I'm afraid she might not have spent so much effort to ask for the eighth elder brother to marry Nian. The reason for the concubine By acting like this, I just want to help Nianshi marry into the Eighth Prince's mansion according to the historical development. The more she resorted to tricks to seduce the emperor, forcing the emperor to ennoble her as a nobleman and bring her into the harem, she is really a flirtatious, shameless bitch!"

Kangxi frowned even more, glanced at Concubine De coldly, and said lightly: "You have misunderstood Noble Concubine Xi. What happened that day was actually because I admired her beauty and couldn't tolerate her being possessed by other men. The side hall of the Chuxiu Palace couldn't wait to take her as its own and brought her into the harem. You should remember that I first gave her the status of a nobleman, and then ordered her to serve in bed. If you dare to slander Xi Noble Concubine, I don’t care about punishing nobles, so I will definitely give you a royal staff in front of everyone in the harem, so that you can have a long memory.”

Concubine De hated her secretly, but she didn't dare to abuse Nian Xilan wantonly in front of Kangxi.Concubine De knew that according to her status, even if Kangxi hated and poisoned her, even if she wanted her life, he would only use such a decent method as bestowing a three-foot white silk or a glass of poisoned wine.However, if she really annoyed Kangxi and ordered her to be punished with a court rod in public, this humiliation would cause her more pain than directly giving her death.

Concubine De originally thought that Kangxi would impatiently ask her about important events in future generations that had not happened since she had thrown out such tempting news. However, to Concubine De's surprise, Kangxi just stared at her with a gloomy face for a while without saying a word. With a single word, he turned and left the Yonghe Palace.

Concubine De looked at Kangxi's resolutely leaving figure, thinking of Kangxi's dark and indifferent eyes just now, she couldn't help feeling cold from the bottom of her heart. Although it was a warm spring, Concubine De couldn't help shivering, gradually I feel icy cold, and I can't see a glimmer of hope for warmth.

Kangxi walked out of the Yonghe Palace, barely exhaled a breath of foul air, but still felt more congested and sad in his heart.

Although Kangxi naturally wouldn't believe everything she said just based on Concubine De's one-sided words, thinking about Nian Xilan may really be like what Concubine De said, once belonged to another man, even if it happened in the previous life However, Kangxi still found it unbearable.

Kangxi went straight back to the Qianqing Palace, concentrated on approving the papers, and then sent someone to order the spies he had placed in the Northwest in the early years to pay close attention to the movements of Tsewang Arabtan of the Junggar Department.

After Kangxi finished handling the government affairs, he still felt disturbed in his heart.

Kangxi got up and paced back and forth in the hall, carefully rethinking every sentence that Concubine De had just said just now, and then glanced sharply at the jade bottle presented by Concubine De, and ordered the hidden guard to take out a small portion of it. The liquid medicine was put into another exquisite porcelain bottle, secretly put into the meal of an imperial guard, and ordered the hidden guard to carefully observe the guard's every move, and to report truthfully about every detail.

Li Dequan saw that after Kangxi went to the Yonghe Palace to meet Concubine De, his face was always gloomy, and it was difficult to show a happy face. He couldn't help but have many guesses in his heart, and he served Kangxi more cautiously.

It was time for dinner, Kangxi not only did not rush to go to Yikun Palace to have dinner with Nian Xilan, but instead ordered Li Dequan to go to Taiyuan Hospital to send Liu Shengfang to Qianqing Palace for his pulse diagnosis.

Li Dequan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly bowed to promise, and went to the imperial hospital to do business in person, but he secretly wondered in his heart, didn't the imperial physician Liu have diagnosed the emperor's Ping'an pulse this morning?Doctor Liu also said that the emperor's dragon body is healthy and does not need tonic. Seeing the emperor's expression at this time, it doesn't look like the dragon's body is not healthy.
Liu Shengfang listened to Kangxi's oral instructions passed on by Li Dequan, and he was secretly suspicious. However, when he hurried to the Qianqing Palace, he respectfully saluted Kangxi, and was about to step forward to diagnose Kangxi's pulse, but he heard Kangxi's blunt questioning. He said: "25 days have passed since Concubine Xi gave birth. When you checked the pulse of Concubine Xi today, did you find anything wrong with Concubine Xi's body?"

Liu Shengfang hurriedly replied: "My Majesty, Concubine Xi's body has recovered very well, even better than many women who have passed a hundred days after giving birth."

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then asked: "According to the degree of recovery of Concubine Xi's body at this time, can I serve you in bed?"

Liu Shengfang was almost choked by her own saliva, she trembled slightly, and stammered: "It should...it should be possible...but, the emperor had better wait another three to five days..."

Liu Shengfang thought to herself, Your Majesty, how impatient you are, now that Noble Concubine Xi's confinement period is not yet over, you actually want Concubine Xi to serve you in bed!A few days ago, didn't you just pamper and concubine Niangniang for three consecutive days?Why do you still look so anxious and dissatisfied?

Kangxi glanced at Liu Shengfang, and dropped another unexpected decree, which made Liu Shengfang dizzy in shock, "You prepare some mild soup for avoiding children yourself, and deliver it to Yikun Palace tomorrow morning, there must be no mistake." Kangxi thought about it Thinking about it, he warned again: "Be careful when dispensing the medicine, and don't hurt Concubine Xi's body."

Liu Shengfang felt a little cold sweat dripping from her back, so she quickly bowed and agreed.Until he exited the hall, Liu Shengfang still felt chills in his heart.Liu Shengfang thought of Kangxi's undisguised favor and pity for Concubine Xi before, but now he suddenly made such a cruel decree for Concubine Xi, and couldn't help feeling that being with the king is like being with a tiger.
