"Granny Hu, just tell me! I can take it!"

Harigana was already sitting in the chair that Li Dequan had brought over, holding a handkerchief in his hand to cool down Kangxi's fever.

Li Dequan's tears streamed down his face as he kept looking at Granny Hu, wanting to know what was wrong with the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this servant has diagnosed that His Majesty has been poisoned!"

Harigana's hand paused. Was he poisoned? Why would poisoning cause a high fever?

"Master, the imperial physician has arrived!"

Xiao Li stood outside, not daring to bring the imperial physician in. His master had just said that the Imperial Concubine had fainted, and he didn't know what was happening inside, so he stood at the door and didn't dare to go in.

"Come in quickly!"

Upon receiving a signal from Harigana, Li Dequan immediately called for help.

When Physician Zhao and Xiao Li entered, both of them were stunned.

"This servant greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort!"

Zhao Rongxi was truly bitter inside. She had thought that something had happened to the Imperial Concubine, but she thought that the Imperial Concubine was a person of great fortune and that nothing serious would happen to her.

But who would have thought that the one lying in bed now is the Emperor himself? What sins has he committed?

"Imperial Physician Zhao, come and examine His Majesty!"

After speaking, Harigana stood up and gave up his seat, as he was a man and she needed to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Zhao Rongxi didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly went up to take Kangxi's pulse. As soon as his hand touched Kangxi, his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the slight change in Physician Zhao's expression, Harigana's heart sank to the bottom.

Whether it was poisoning or some other problem, Emperor Kangxi's health was indeed in trouble.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been poisoned! This poison comes from the previous dynasty and will weaken a person's body. Logically, it shouldn't show results so quickly."

But the Emperor must have been overworked and was physically weak, which is why he fell into a coma!

However, the Emperor's poisoning has lasted for quite some time, possibly as long as a year, or even five or six years. If it weren't for this recent fainting spell, no one would have been able to detect the signs of poisoning!

Zhao Rongxi knelt on the ground, no longer complaining about fate.

After saying that, they waited for Harigana to make a decision. The poisoning was raging and had been going on for years.

As one of the emperor's personal physicians, he failed to detect such a serious problem in advance. Regardless of whether the emperor will be seriously injured, he will definitely be punished!

Regardless of when or by whom Harigana was poisoned, the most important thing now is for Kangxi to wake up; otherwise, chaos will ensue in the court and the harem.

"Zhao Rongxi, you must not reveal a single word about what happened today. You are absolutely not allowed to leave Qingxi Palace before the Emperor regains consciousness! Tell Xiao Li Zi or Li Dequan everything, no matter what medicine is needed. Do you understand?"

Zhao Rongxi nodded repeatedly, feeling that this man's aura was now so much like that of the emperor!

"Your Majesty, this servant obeys! Please rest assured!"

Harigana was a little unsteady on his feet, so he sat down next to Kangxi.

"Is there a cure for the Emperor's poison? How long will it take? When will the Emperor wake up?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's poison can be cured, but it will take some time. As for when he will wake up, this servant cannot guarantee! I will know after I prepare the medicine and take his pulse again."

Harigana breathed a sigh of relief; at least it was resolved.

"Little Li, you'll be assisting Physician Zhao for the time being. Go to the study for now!"

Everyone present understood what Harigana meant. He said he was having Little Li assist him, but in reality, he was just keeping an eye on Physician Zhao.

However, Zhao Rongxi didn't think anything of it. As an imperial physician, this was the best time to act if someone truly harbored rebellious intentions. Therefore, he fully understood the Imperial Concubine's cautious approach.

"Yes! This servant obeys!"

After Physician Zhao left, only Du Lan, Li Dequan, and Granny Hu remained in the room.

"Granny Hu!"

Harigana tried to appear calm, but she was actually terrified. However, she couldn't afford to panic now.

"Your servant is here!"

"Keep a close eye on the people in Qingxi Palace. If any servant acts even slightly suspiciously, arrest them and lock them in the woodshed."

We can't let them die; we must leave them alive.

Because you were sent by the Emperor, I have never hidden anything from you. I still trust you and am entrusting Qingxi Palace to you!

Granny Hu immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Granny Hu sighed inwardly, realizing that the Emperor's previous favor towards this concubine was not without reason. She seemed rather absent-minded most of the time, but now, faced with such a crucial matter, she was truly capable of handling things with composure!

"Yes! If anyone asks, just say that I bumped my stomach and the baby might not survive. The Emperor is very worried and forbids anyone from getting close!"

Hu Mama was shocked, but the Imperial Concubine must have her own reasons. As a servant, she should just follow orders!

Moreover, she probably understood the Imperial Concubine's meaning; she was likely worried about instability in the imperial court and the harem.

"Your Majesty, what about the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager?"

Granny Hu asked in a low voice, "What if they hold us accountable later?" She didn't want to file a complaint, but she was afraid of future trouble.

"Needless to say, once His Majesty wakes up, he will naturally be able to protect me. If he doesn't wake up, do you think I will survive?"

After instructing Granny Hu, Harigana had someone bring over a bowl of strong liquor, intending to use it to wipe Kangxi's body.

The temperature is just too high. Not to mention whether detoxification will take too long, I don't want to end up like an idiot.

Li Dequan and Du Lan wanted to offer some advice, but seeing Harigana's cold face, they didn't dare to say anything more and could only try their best not to trouble her.

They wiped Kangxi's body with strong liquor, and then wiped it again with warm water.

She often had a fever when she was hospitalized. At that time, her mother asked the nurse to use alcohol diluted with water to wipe her body. Later, she endured the discomfort and wiped herself herself.

After all that effort, Harigana was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had been soaked in water.

"Your Majesty, please change into some dry clothes!"

Harigana nodded. She could only change her clothes and wipe herself down a bit. As for washing up, she could forget about it, because someone would find out!

After changing into clean clothes, seeing that Dulan was about to hand over the dirty clothes, he quickly stopped her: "Dulan, I'm about to lose my baby. It's not appropriate without blood. Can you secretly find some chicken blood and sprinkle it on my clothes in a bit?"

Harigana thought that regardless of whether there were traitors in the Qingxi Palace, at least for the time being, it would be convincing.

"Princess, chicken blood and human blood are not the same!"

After Dulan finished speaking, he took out a small knife from behind his back and stabbed his arm directly.

"Dulan!"

"Dulan!"

Harigana and Li Dequan were shocked; neither of them expected her to do this.

"Dulan, are you stupid?!"

Harigana, who had been holding back her tears, couldn't hold them back any longer and burst into tears.
