The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 41

Fang Wan hurriedly wiped away her tears, ran to the outside of the hall and gave a blessing to Liu Shengfang, and said according to Nian Xilan's previous instructions: "Your Majesty Xi went to Jingren Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong Gui and has not yet returned. Maybe there is something delaying you?" Yes. Before leaving, Mrs. Xi specifically told the maidservants that if she gets stuck due to certain things and fails to return in time, please ask Mr. Liu to go to the Qianqing Palace first to diagnose the emperor's peace pulse."

Liu Shengfang was slightly taken aback, thinking that there was still some time before the emperor went up and down, he said: "It's still early at this time, it's why I wait here for Mr. Xi for a while."

Fang Wan shook her head with red eyes and said: "Lord Liu, don't embarrass your servant. If Mr. Xigui knows that your servant is waiting for her in Chuxiu Palace, and thus delays the time to diagnose the emperor's peace pulse, Mr. Xi will definitely blame this servant Before going to Jingren Palace, Mrs. Xi had told her thousands of times that her body was just a trivial matter, and the health of the emperor's dragon body was related to the Qing Dynasty's long-term foundation and the well-being of all people in the world. There must be no mistakes. Master Liu still Let’s go to Qianqing Palace first to diagnose the Emperor’s Ping An pulse. It’s fine for the servants to wait here for Mr. Xi.”

As Fang Wan spoke, she shed tears again, choked up and said, "Your Excellency Xi will definitely be back soon..."

Liu Shengfang's heart trembled, and she was about to ask again, but Fang Wan ran away quickly, wiping her tears.

Liu Shengfang frowned and pondered for a moment, although she didn't say anything more, she had some calculations in her heart.

When Liu Shengfang came to Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had just come to court and was discussing state affairs with Crown Prince Yinreng and Prince Yong Yinzhen in Qianqing Palace.

As soon as Li Dequan saw Liu Shengfang, he smiled and took a few steps forward, "Lord Liu came so early! This old slave thought that the emperor ordered Master Liu to go to Chuxiu Palace to check the pulse of nobleman Xi first, and Master Liu would delay for a while. So it seems that Mr. Xigui's body should be fine, right? The emperor is still thinking about it!"

Liu Shengfang shook his head and sighed: "When the lower officials arrived at Chuxiu Palace according to the time ordered by the emperor, Mrs. Xi had not yet returned. According to what the maid who served Mrs. Xi said, Mrs. Xi went to Jingren Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong, and has not yet returned. ..."

When Liu Shengfang said this, he paused for a moment, there seemed to be something hard to say, and his face was a little ugly.

Seeing that Liu Shengfang's expression was not right, Li Dequan couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and asked anxiously: "But the maid of honor serving Mr. Xi has a different look? Mrs. Liu must make this matter clear! You know that as long as it concerns Mr. Xi, No matter how small things are, they are big things!"

Liu Shengfang nodded suddenly, and hastily explained to Li Dequan what happened in Chuxiu Palace just now.

Li Dequan has worked hard in the palace for decades, and to be able to survive to the current position of the head of the inner court, his mind and mind are naturally not bad.Hearing Liu Shengfang's narration at this time, Li Dequan's heart sank, he secretly thought that it was not good, this nobleman Xi was probably framed by others, and now being detained by Concubine Tong Gui in Jingren Palace, I'm afraid it will be more or less auspicious.

Thinking of Kangxi's concern for Nian Xilan, Li Dequan felt his scalp tingling.Even though it was a bone-chilling weather, Li Dequan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Li De read the telegram wholeheartedly, only thinking that Mr. Xi's matter should not be delayed.If the emperor had finished discussing the matter with the crown prince and Prince Yong, I'm afraid something big has already happened to Mr. Xi.At that time, the emperor will be furious, and he does not know how many serving servants will follow suit, even himself, the head of the inner court, will be involved.

Li Dequan pondered for a moment, then decisively took the tray containing the teacups from the maid's hand, and walked lightly into the hall.

When Kangxi saw that the person who served tea for him today was not the maid in charge of tea making in Qianqing Palace, but Li Dequan, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Li Dequan saw that there was a flash of doubt in Kangxi's eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Kangxi's ear: "Liu Yuyi is asking for an audience outside the hall, and the servant saw that his expression was different, as if something happened to Mr. Xi."

Kangxi's heart trembled, but he drank two small sips of tea calmly, put the teacup on the kang table at hand, and then said to Yinreng and Yinzhen who were standing in front of him: "It's getting late , you step back first. Go back and think about what you just discussed, each write a statement and submit it tomorrow."

Yinreng and Yinzhen hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and bowed to Kangxi to leave.

When Kangxi saw that Yinreng and Yinzhen had left, his complexion immediately darkened, and he said to Li Dequan: "You slave is getting more and more incompetent now, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and call Liu Shengfang into the palace to answer!"

Li Dequan knew that Kangxi was in a bad mood, so he ran out of the hall and called Liu Shengfang in after he said a few words "Damn the servant".

Seeing Kangxi's anxious expression, Liu Shengfang didn't dare to waste time, and after kneeling down to salute, she told Kangxi exactly what happened in Chuxiu Palace.

When Kangxi heard that Nian Xilan always prioritized the health of his dragon body and asked Liu Shengfang to come to Qianqing Palace to diagnose his pulse first, he couldn't help feeling warm, but thinking of Nian Xilan's pale face in the morning and his current situation, Kangxi felt It was an indescribable panic.

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he suddenly stood up and strode out of the hall.

Li Dequan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly trotted after Kangxi, "Your Majesty, where are you going? This servant can prepare the imperial chariot for you."

Kangxi ordered without looking back: "Go to Jingren Palace. You and Liu Shengfang will come with me. Since nobleman Xi is still in Jingren Palace, let Liu Shengfang be in Jingren Palace in front of all concubines, Take a good pulse diagnosis for Mr. Xi."

A flash of light flashed in Kangxi's deep phoenix eyes, and he cursed bitterly: "Aren't they jealous just because I love Mrs. Xi so much? It's these petty people who make trouble and provoke trouble all day long." People! Hmph, they thought that I just let nobleman Xi stay in the Qianqing Palace for a few nights to be called petting? Now I will let those jealous women take a good look at how I pamper and spoil nobleman Xi!"
