Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 25

Kangxi is well-read and knowledgeable, and has seen a lot of medical skills. Hearing him say this, he felt a little nervous, frowned and said sharply: "What are you talking about with these yin and yang? Tell me the result will be!"

Hou Zheng was wiping his sweat, glanced at Rong Huang inadvertently, and replied truthfully: "The yin and yang in the empress Yi's body are out of harmony, and she suffers from heart palpitations. I'm afraid...it will be difficult to conceive children."

As soon as this remark came out, not only the Emperor and Empress Dowager were taken aback, but even Rong Huang almost jumped up in shock.

This... what's going on here?

Tong's is not just as simple as falling into the water, she also has heart palpitations!In modern times, this may be just a common heart disease, but in ancient times, heart palpitations could kill people at any time...

With such a serious illness, it's impossible for Tong to know nothing about it before?But before, they had never heard that Concubine Yi had heart palpitations.Otherwise, the possibility of Tong's entering the palace is very small. After all, a woman suffering from heart palpitations can hardly have sex, let alone bear children.

Could it be that the Tong family deceived the emperor by saying that Concubine Yi was in good health on purpose, and wanted to send her into the palace in a bluff?In the end, I didn't expect that Concubine Yi "accidentally" fell into the water, and the imperial physician diagnosed her with palpitations?

Once this is the case, Tong Shi has committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.Putting concubine Yi into the cold palace is all a slap in the face.If it gets heavier...the consequences will be disastrous.

Rong Huang sneaked a glance at Kangxi, he was quite calm, but his face was not very good-looking: "Tell me clearly, why does Concubine Yi have heart palpitations? During the audition, Concubine Yi was still fine." In other words, he already had some doubts about the Tong family.

It would be fine if he didn't doubt it, but when he doubted it, Rong Huang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

No, it's not that there's something wrong, it's very wrong.

If the Tong family is really bold enough to deceive the Holy Majesty, then they will definitely be fully prepared.For example, the candidate for the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse of Concubine Yi should definitely not be Hou Zheng from the Niu Hulu family, but Lu Ling, the confidant of the Tong family.That's the only way to keep the secret of Concubine Yi's illness, isn't it?

This can only show that the Tong family, including Concubine Yi herself, did not know that she had palpitations before.Perhaps there is another possibility, that is—Concubine Yi is not sick at all.

It's time to lie!
But why should he lie?Ama once promised that Hou Zheng would never betray their family.So if Hou Zheng lied, there must be some reason.And this reason should be related to Rong Huang, otherwise he wouldn't have glanced at Rong Huang just now.

But... that doesn't make sense, does it?Ruohou is working for Ronghuang, but she doesn't know anything!How can there be such a slave who serves the master?
Just as Rong Huang thought of this, she suddenly heard Xiulan, the court lady who was serving Yi's concubine, shouting, "Master Yi is awake!"

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, only to see Concubine Yi blinking her eyes lightly, and whispered like a mosquito: "Cousin." She was always polite, but she didn't stand up to salute at this time, she must have been exhausted to the extreme.

The word "cousin" made Kangxi feel stagnant. This woman is his cousin, his relative!How could his cousin lie to him?This must be a misunderstanding.

"Jinglin, tell cousin, did you suffer from any serious illness at home before?" Xuan Ye held her hand, his voice was so gentle that it was almost coaxing.

Tong Jinglin was taken aback for a moment, and when she rolled her eyes, she saw the Empress Dowager, Rong Huang and the waiting imperial doctor behind Kangxi with different expressions.She was silent for a moment, and suddenly a look of horror appeared in her eyes: "Cousin, what's wrong with me?"

Rong Huang's heart skipped a beat.Just now Tong Jinglin clearly thought about it before acting scared, so that means...she knew she was sick before!
It's messed up, it's all messed up...

Seeing that Concubine Yi was panicked, Kangxi quickly patted her hand to signal Concubine Yi not to be impatient, then sighed, raised her head and looked at Hou Zheng: "Tell me, what is Concubine Yi's illness? Is it... When did you get it?"

Hou Zheng frowned slightly, and replied without hesitation: "The palpitations are related to Master Yi's usual weak constitution. If the constitution is not strong, he will not have enough effort. Moreover, the empress is too worried and overworked, which makes her mind unable to control herself. The empress just entered Palace, presumably very tired, deficiency of kidney yin, deficiency of water and fire, impulsive movement of deficiency fire, disturbing mind and spirit and causing illness."

So, it's Yibi's own heart disease?But freezing three feet does not happen in a day, according to Hou Zheng's statement...it doesn't make sense.

Kangxi was about to inquire, but Waiting Zheng continued: "However, these are not enough to induce the onset of the empress's illness. In my opinion, I am afraid that the empress was frightened by falling into the water this time, her emotions were injured, and her sweating was affected by evil spirits, which led to the sudden illness. Heavy. When the imperial physician in the palace was checking the safety of the selected women, they probably just thought that Master Yi was weak and there was nothing serious."

Rong Huang thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.According to Hou Zheng's statement: Tong Jinglin was originally weak, and everyone didn't take it seriously when she entered the palace. I didn't expect that falling into the water this time caused palpitations.So it was said that the Tong family did not deceive the emperor, and no one was to blame for this matter, only the Yi concubine "accidentally" fell into the water.

Concubine Yi's pupils tightened, and she held Kangxi's hand unconsciously with a little strength: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that I... have heart palpitations?"

When Kangxi saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so he persuaded in a soothing and gentle voice: "Don't worry, just take care of your child, and you will be fine."

Rong Huang felt a little ridiculous, hearing Kangxi's voice, he either regarded Concubine Yi as a fool or a child of two or three years old.

Concubine Yi naturally didn't believe it, so she didn't speak at this time, she just shed tears silently.When Kangxi saw him, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and gently wiped Yipin's tears regardless of Ronghuang's presence.

Rong Huang didn't feel jealous or anything, she just felt that she should say something, do something, but she couldn't think of it for a while.Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that the Empress Dowager's face was not right, and Rong Huang stepped forward in time and said, "Sister Yipin, how did you fall into the water?"

Kangxi was reminded by Rong Huang, and also noticed something strange about it: "Concubine Yi has just entered the palace, what are you going to Fubi Lake for?"

Concubine Yi was startled, and suddenly stopped crying.She raised her head to look at Rong Huang, her eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of words, but she didn't seem to say anything.She just looked at Rong Huang quietly for a while, then suddenly said word by word: "Concubine Rong invited me to go."

"Concubine Rong?" Kangxi frowned, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the silent queen mother: "Emperor!" The queen mother stood up, suddenly sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the harem , Your Majesty, don't bother. This matter... I will leave it to the Ai family to investigate. The most important thing now is the body of the concubine Yi."

Kangxi nodded, and did not object: "What Huang Erniang said is true." He called Hou Zheng again: "How should concubine Yi be cured?"

When Hou Zheng saw the emperor calling him, he quickly bowed and said: "The most urgent thing is to adjust emotions and prevent emotions such as joy and anger from being too extreme. Your empress should pay attention to rest and avoid... intercourse."

Concubine Yi's face turned red when she heard the words, but Kangxi nodded without changing his expression: "I see, you go down and prescribe the prescription." After saying that, he whispered to Concubine Yi: "You have to rest, I still have something to do. , see you again tomorrow."

Seeing that Concubine Yi nodded obediently, Xuan Ye pulled Rong Huang and the Queen Mother to leave, and the two still walked out of Chengqian Palace side by side.When they arrived at the door, Xuan Ye was about to get into the sedan chair naturally, and when he was about to sit down, he realized that Rong Huang was still standing there without moving.He moved with certainty, turned around and said, "Little Phoenix, come?"

Rong Huang took a step back slightly, and said strangely: "Isn't the emperor still busy? The concubine dare not bother."

Xuan Ye laughed when he heard this: "Isn't it you who have something to do? Come up quickly, I'm starving."

He had been keeping a straight face in Chengqian Palace just now, and he suddenly smiled, which was indescribably gentle and dazzling.Rong Huang didn't dare to look too much, and got on the dragon chariot as promised, and the two went to Yikun Palace.

Yikun Palace is not far away, and soon arrived at the place.Rong Huang got off the sedan chair with Ru Lan's hand, and just walked a few steps into the courtyard, suddenly heard a little maid named He'er excitedly shout: "Master is very happy, Eunuch Wei just came to pass the decree, saying yes The emperor has overturned the brand of the master today!"

Rong Huang was stunned, her face flushed immediately, and she reprimanded softly: "Shut up!" The Ministry of Internal Affairs gave her a crazy girl, why are you so reckless?In the future, Ruilan will have to teach her well.

He'er was dumbfounded by her scolding, and after a closer look, it turned out that the emperor was also by the master's side, no wonder the master was going to lose his temper!She hastily slapped herself across the face, and backed away disheveled.

Seeing her distressed appearance, Xuan Ye couldn't help but turned sideways and laughed at Rong Huang: "So our little Phoenix is ​​looking forward to my favor so much?"

In fact, Rong Huang blushed not because she was shy, but because she thought that she would be treated lightly by this little brother... Well, well, even though this little brother is her legitimate husband now, he is still a little brother.It's still the question from three years ago, has he... developed well?Haven't had a chance to check it out either.

But they can all give birth to a son, so there should be no problem, right?Rong Huang coughed lightly, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "I don't have one!"

"No?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows and turned around immediately. "Then I'm leaving."

"Hey, don't..." Rong Huang subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, Kangxi didn't seem to notice, but still walked forward on his own.Rong Huang instinctively exerted more force, unexpectedly, he took two steps back and hugged Rong Huang in his arms.
