Dulan winced in pain; he had hit her rather hard and hadn't expected it to hurt so much.

"Your Highness, don't cry! This servant is thick-skinned and will be fine in a few days! Chicken blood and human blood are really different. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, we'll be exposed!"

In just a short while, Harigana's clothes, which he had changed out of, were stained red with blood. His white nightgown and blue outer robe had all changed color.

Harigana wanted to use a silk handkerchief to cover her wound, but Li Dequan took the handkerchief first and pressed it down on her wound, and then took out some wound medicine from his pocket and sprinkled it on her wound.

She was initially quite moved, but seeing the harmonious scene between the two of them, Harigana suddenly couldn't cry anymore.

Isn't this a bit too intimate? Especially Li Dequan, whose eyes were full of heartache, no less than hers.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, I'm really alright!"

Harigana suddenly felt somewhat superfluous, as if she and Emperor Kangxi were the only ones interacting.

"Silly girl, if anything, I should do it. You're just a young girl, aren't you afraid of getting a scar later?"

Alright! Now Harigana is no longer heartbroken.

He glanced at the two of them with a complicated expression, then turned to look at Kangxi.

He's the most important person right now. As for those two, we can talk about that later. What if she misunderstood? That would be so awkward!

Physician Hu first wrote out a prescription, and then took Xiao Li to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine to avoid being discovered. He even brought out medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old ginseng and Tian Shan snow lotus!

Rumors began to circulate in the imperial court and palace, ranging from the initial fear that Harigana's child might not survive to the final possibility that she might not live.

In short, everyone except the people in Qingxi Palace was hoping she would just die.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's fever has subsided. As long as he doesn't have a fever tonight, he should be able to wake up tomorrow."

Zhao Rongxi was very glad that he liked reading medical books and had once studied some secret medicines from the previous dynasty out of curiosity.

Harigana did not let her guard down. In fact, she was somewhat relieved that she had not gone out recklessly to make any allies in the palace. Her relationship with the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager was not very good, otherwise someone would definitely have come to Qingxi Palace by now!

Moreover, it is already very late. Even if the Empress Dowager and others are worried about the child in her womb, they can only send someone over tomorrow.

By then, Emperor Kangxi might have already woken up!

"You may all leave now!"

Li Dequan and Du Lan wanted to stay, but in the end they left with Physician Zhao.

"Li Dequan!"

Just as Li Dequan reached the door, Harigana suddenly called out to him, and the latter immediately came back.

"Your Majesty!"

After Dulan and Zhao Rongxi left, she slowly said, "The Emperor may not wake up for tomorrow's morning court session. Even if he does wake up, he cannot go to court in a sickly state."

So go to the Qianqing Palace first thing tomorrow morning and tell them that the Emperor will be suspending court tomorrow because of me and the child.”

Li Dequan was shocked. In this way, the Imperial Concubine's reputation would be ruined by a wicked concubine who brought disaster to the country!

How could Harigana not know? But is the current situation something she can control?

He hasn't been back much these past few days because of court affairs, and he doesn't know exactly what happened. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this, the entire court will be unstable.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Dequan knelt on the ground, wanting to persuade them, but he had no other way!

"Li Dequan, keep things stable until tomorrow! If the Emperor still doesn't wake up, then release the news that I'm pregnant with twins."

According to Zhao Rongxi's diagnosis, the twins might be a boy and a girl. The emperor's suspension of court was also to preserve the auspicious symbolism of the dragon and phoenix since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

"If anyone causes trouble again, we'll use the Emperor's name to arrest and imprison them! Don't worry about the Emperor's punishment; I'll take full responsibility."

"Your Majesty! This servant knows that Your Majesty is doing this for the Emperor's good. This servant is not afraid of being punished! I will obey Your Majesty's every command!"

"Well! Let's leave it at that for now!" After Harigana finished speaking, Li Dequan agreed and withdrew, leaving only Kangxi and the other person in the inner hall.

Harigana ate only a little for dinner that evening; she had no appetite.

After several hours of fussing, she was exhausted. She had originally planned to lie down on the soft couch outside for a while, but in the end, she decided to go to bed, so that she could at least know immediately if Kangxi was getting a fever.

She lay on her side, her hand resting comfortably on his neck, and closed her eyes; her mind was a jumbled mess.

Who could possibly poison Emperor Kangxi?

He had not only guards but also secret agents around him! Not to mention his food, clothing, and daily necessities, everything he came into contact with was thoroughly screened. How could he have been poisoned?

Moreover, Zhao Rongxi just said it would take anywhere from one to five or six years. Who exactly is capable of doing this?

Harigana felt that the answer was in her mind, but she was just one step away and couldn't remember it.

I desperately tried to recall the novels, historical records, and unofficial histories I had read before, but none of them mentioned that Emperor Kangxi had been poisoned!

Could it be that the dynasty she always thought of wasn't the actual Qing Dynasty in history, but rather a novel written by that damned author, and that she had time-traveled?

But that doesn't make sense either. Although she reads books, she never comments on them. She doesn't even have a chance to transmigrate into a book. She can't just transmigrate into it out of nowhere!

As Harigana pondered these thoughts, he succumbed to drowsiness and fell asleep.

However, she was still preoccupied with something, and woke up after sleeping for less than fifteen minutes.

"Xuan Ye!"

Her hand was still on Kangxi's body, but his body temperature had risen again. Although it wasn't as high as before, she was sure he had a fever again!

"Li Dequan!"

Harigana called out in a low voice, and Dulan and Li Dequan, who were standing at the door, came in together!

"Your Majesty!"

Before Li Dequan could get close, he heard, "Go and fetch the imperial physician! The Emperor has a fever again!"

Li Dequan hurriedly ran outside, but fortunately the imperial physician was in the study and arrived quickly.

After taking the emperor's pulse, he said that half of the poison in the emperor's body had been neutralized, but it would take several more days for him to fully wake up. After saying this, he took Xiao Li to brew some antipyretic medicine.

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while!"

Dulan changed the handkerchief for Kangxi and placed it on his forehead. Looking at Harigana's tired face, she felt very sorry for him.

"Dulan, I just had a nap, I'm not sleepy now, don't worry! Does your arm hurt? Such a big cut, are you stupid?!"

Dulan shook her head. Before she was with Harigana, she didn't know what kind of life she had lived. How could she forget the suffering she had endured after just a few days of good days?

I just used too much force, so the wound is a bit deep. It looks scary, but it will heal in a few days!

"Princess, I'm tough and resilient, so don't worry. Eunuch Li gave me some excellent wound medicine, and it doesn't hurt at all now!"
