Ever since Kangxi left that day, Concubine Yi has been feeling uneasy, always feeling that she might lose her child.
Her body was already injured during childbirth, and now she was worried about not being able to keep the baby, so her body was recovering even slower, and the blood in her lower body was still dripping.
Huanxi felt that something was wrong and hurriedly called the imperial physician.
The imperial physician frowned after taking her pulse. Logically, Concubine Yi was already weak after giving birth, and a steady diet of tonic herbs would have been enough to keep her healthy. So why was she not only weaker now, but also experiencing bleeding?
"Are the dregs of the Empress' medicine still there?"
When the imperial physician asked this, Huanxi's face turned pale, but she still pretended to be calm and went to get the medicine residue.
The imperial physician frowned after a careful examination, and when he turned around and looked at Concubine Yi, his expression also looked a little bad.
"To answer your Majesty, judging from the medicine residue, one of the herbs has been replaced. Although it's just one herb, it's the main ingredient for treating the disease. The tonic herb was replaced with one that can cause continuous bleeding in postpartum women."
Concubine Yi's face turned pale and she became furious.
"Who is so brave?"
Huanxi hurried forward to calm her queen, "Don't be angry, queen. It's more important for you to take care of your health."
The imperial physician's forehead also began to sweat. "To answer your Majesty, the medicines are all taken out from the Imperial Hospital. No one would be so bold as to change the medicine in the Imperial Hospital. Perhaps..."
Concubine Yi closed her eyes and said, "I will send someone to investigate this matter. Can you tell me if my health can be restored?"
The imperial physician nodded, "There's no problem with the treatment, but it might take a little longer."
Concubine Yi closed her eyes for a long time, and when she opened them again, she spoke in a soothing tone, "Thank you, Imperial Physician, for your hard work today. I will naturally investigate the matter of the medicinal materials, but please help me keep this secret."
After a pause, she continued, "Except for the Emperor, I don't want anyone else to know."
The imperial physician hastily agreed, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know my limits. I will prescribe a new prescription for you now. Don't worry."
Concubine Yi nodded and signaled Huanxi to send the person out properly.
When Huanxi returned, both the master and the servant looked unhappy. "Your Majesty, there is a special maid in the Yikun Palace who is responsible for your medicine. I will send someone to arrest her immediately. However, aren't we going to tell the Emperor about this?"
Concubine Yi sneered, "Of course we have to tell you, but we have to first understand the whole story. You can arrest that palace maid and interrogate her. When you have a result, tell the emperor."
Watching Huanxi leave, Concubine Yi leaned against the head of the bed and fell into deep thought.
Who in the harem today would make a move on her?
Tong Jia is no longer useful, and Concubine Niu seems to be someone who doesn't care about things and doesn't like to get involved. Concubine Hui has her own son, and as long as the crown prince is not overthrown, the other princes have no chance.
In that case, who else would attack her?
What was the reason for attacking her?
Did he simply dislike her and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of her, or did he want to kill her and then raise her child?
Get rid of the mother and keep the child?
Tonggiya clan?
While Concubine Yi was pondering, Huanxi walked in angrily, "Your Majesty, the little palace maid who was decocting the medicine committed suicide."
Concubine Yi was startled at first, then furious. "Go to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor. No need to waste time talking. Just tell him exactly what happened."
Huanxi responded and ran out, and Concubine Yi was so angry that she pounded the bed.
Damn it, who wants to harm her?
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was also very angry after hearing Huanxi's report.
In this situation, there are still people who dare to take action in his harem. They are really brave.
"Go back and tell your queen to take good care of her health. I will send someone to investigate this matter. I will visit her another day."
Huanxi secretly hoped that the emperor would go and see his queen right now, but after the emperor said so, she didn't dare to say anything else.
After all, her queen is no longer as favored as before, so naturally, they, the servants, dare not be too ostentatious.
After watching Huanxi leave, Yinreng walked in from the inner hall.
Looking at Kangxi's deep eyes, Yinreng was also a little puzzled.
[The most powerful woman in the harem now is Empress Hui, but it is clear that she is not the person to do this, whether in terms of intelligence or thoughts.]
[Niuhulu never participated in harem struggles, so naturally she wouldn't do such a thing.]
[Others...Tong Jia is capable, but she may not be able to take care of this matter at this moment.]
[As for Wu Ya, she was both scheming and capable, but she was still in Xinzheku preparing to give birth, so it's unlikely she was the one who did it.]
Who else is there?
After listening to these voices, Kangxi began to think about this matter. Who on earth dared to test his bottom line again and again under his nose?
In Yiku Palace, Concubine Yi listened to Huanxi's report and felt a little disappointed.
"Huanxi, go check on Concubine Guo and carefully check everyone, from the palace maids who boiled the medicine to the wet nurse."
Huanxi comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. I have just sent someone to check everything out, and everything is fine with Concubine Guo."
Concubine Yi nodded wearily. "That's the best. We also need to keep a close eye on Dai Jia. She's due to give birth in two months, so we can't let anything go wrong."
He happily accepted the order and left.
That night, Concubine Yi had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by Huanxi.
"My Lady, when I went to see the Fifth Prince just now, I found that his mouth and nose were covered by the quilt, and the nurse was sleeping beside him, and I couldn't wake her up no matter what I did."
Concubine Yi suddenly sat up, ignoring her discomfort, and walked towards the side hall holding Huanxi's hand.
At this time, the lights in the Yiku Palace were on. Concubine Yi walked to the side hall with a gloomy face and saw another wet nurse coaxing the Fifth Prince, while the wet nurse who was taking care of him to sleep was still sleeping beside her, obviously having been drugged.
"Go find the imperial physician."
After Concubine Yi gave the order, the eunuch took it and ran out.
When Concubine Yi looked at the Fifth Prince, his face was a little pale, but he was still breathing, but he couldn't open his eyes. The child looked very weak.
"Your Majesty, I'd better go and invite the Emperor."
Huanxi was frightened, but Concubine Yi was a little hesitant.
If something happens to her, it can be said that she was harmed by someone, but if something happens to her child, it will be because she, as a mother, did not take good care of her.
If the emperor feels that I have not taken good care of the child, will he still let her raise the child?
While Concubine Yi was struggling internally, the imperial physician was dragged over.
He first took the Fifth Prince's pulse, frowned, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fifth Prince has had his breathing blocked for a long time, so he has some breathing difficulties. Dress warmly and take him for a stroll in the yard. I will prescribe some medicine for him and there will be no major problems. However..."
The imperial physician was somewhat embarrassed. "Fifth Prince has been covered up for quite some time. Although his life is not in danger now, there is no guarantee that it will not affect his brain development when he grows up."
