Concubine Yi couldn't stand and fell backwards.
"Empress" happily stepped forward to support Concubine Yi, and the whole person was panicked, "Quick, go and report to the emperor."
At this time, Concubine Yi no longer cared about whether she could raise the child. She hated the person behind her.
If you can't harm her, you have to harm the child.
"Doctor, could you please take a look at this nurse? She's been in a deep sleep. Has she been drugged?"
When the imperial physician heard the words "being drugged", his legs went weak.
It’s over, how could such a thing happen in the harem?
His legs were weak, but he still felt her pulse and asked questions. "She was indeed drugged. I will prescribe a prescription for her to drink."
When Liang Jiugong came in to report, Kangxi was stunned at first, and then became furious.
He put on his cloak and went to the Yiku Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Concubine Yi sitting in the corridor with disheveled hair. She just cried when she saw him.
She cried weakly and aggrievedly.
All of Kangxi's anger was suppressed in an instant. "You are not feeling well, why are you blowing in the wind here?"
Then he looked at Huanxi and said, "Help your mother into the house quickly."
Concubine Yi broke free from Huanxi's hand and slowly knelt before Kangxi. "Your Majesty, I will die, but this child was born at the cost of my life. He is less than a month old. Please have mercy on him."
On the way here, Liang Jiugong had already told Kangxi the imperial physician's diagnosis of the fifth prince, and Kangxi was naturally very angry.
He had never had many children to begin with, and now that he finally gave birth to a child, he was almost suffocated to death by the quilt.
"He is also my son. I will naturally send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly and will never let anyone harm Xiaowu."
Kangxi personally helped Concubine Yi up. Seeing that she was cold all over and her pale little face looked pitiful in the moonlight, his heart softened immediately and he carried her sideways into the inner hall.
When the wet nurse woke up, she was terrified. She only said that she felt extremely sleepy when she was coaxing the Fifth Prince to sleep, and then fell asleep unknowingly.
"Your Majesty, I have questioned her. The nurse said she hadn't eaten anything since dinner. I think there must have been something wrong with the meal. But when I went to check, the kitchen had already disposed of all the leftovers."
Kangxi said coldly, "He's quite skillful. Liang Jiugong, I'll leave this matter to you. First he tampered with Concubine Yi's medicine, and now he's doing it to the Fifth Prince's wet nurse. If he did it, he would definitely leave clues. Investigate it for me, investigate it thoroughly, and make sure to catch this murderer."
Seeing that Kangxi was furious, Liang Jiugong immediately agreed.
That night, Kangxi naturally rested in the Yiku Palace.
After this incident, everyone in Yikun Palace was on high alert, fearing that any mistake would happen again.
Originally, she wanted to show off after giving birth to a prince, but at this time, Concubine Yi just wanted to keep the child safe and sound, and didn't dare to think about anything else.
So when Concubine Hui asked her how to arrange the full moon celebration, she directly refused.
But even though he was so low-key, he still couldn't escape being plotted against.
Looking at the Fifth Prince, whose body was covered with red rashes and whose face was flushed red, Concubine Yi suddenly burst into tears.
Huanxi hurried forward and hugged Yipin, crying and pleading: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. The imperial physician will be here soon. The imperial physician will be here soon."
"Has the Fifth Prince got smallpox? Is it smallpox?" Concubine Yi cried out loudly, her heart was really broken.
After taking the pulse and observing the situation, the imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to advise, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. The Fifth Prince doesn't have smallpox."
Yipin's voice suddenly stopped, and she asked again as if she didn't believe it, "Is it really not smallpox?"
The imperial physician shook his head. "It's just a common rash. I'll prescribe some medicine for you now. Take it for a few days and see how it goes."
Looking at the imperial physician's expression, Concubine Yi felt that he had something else to say.
After he finished writing the prescription, he asked, "Fifth Prince is only one month old, how come he has a rash? How did this rash come about? Is it contagious?"
The imperial physician broke out in a cold sweat at the question, but after pondering for a long time, he said honestly, "The Fifth Prince's rash is indeed contagious, and the most likely culprit is the wet nurse. If the wet nurse is fine, then the Fifth Prince might have come into contact with something from a patient with the rash."
Upon hearing this, Huanxi immediately took people to take the two wet nurses to the side hall. One of the wet nurses had large patches of red rashes on her body.
Huanxi was completely shocked when she saw this. She stumbled back to the main hall and cried out in a sobbing voice, "My Lady, it's the wet nurse. Her body is covered with large red rashes."
At this time, Yipin no longer had any strength left, "Huanxi, first take down that wet nurse, and then go find the emperor."
She was almost in despair and just wanted to stay with her son.
But when she looked up, she saw the little child crying so hard that he couldn't even make a sound. She was heartbroken.
She stayed by the Fifth Prince's side. After an unknown amount of time, Kangxi walked in with a gloomy face. Looking at the Fifth Prince at this moment, he suddenly remembered Yinreng when he had smallpox, and his heart was suddenly broken.
"I already know. Xiaowu just has a rash now and is not in danger of death."
Kangxi helped Concubine Yi up and said comfortingly, "First, take good care of your health. The imperial physician will take care of everything else."
Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi with tears in her eyes, her voice a little hoarse.
"Your Majesty, have the whereabouts of those things previously been found?"
Kangxi pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
He asked Liang Jiugong to investigate who had replaced Concubine Yi's medicine and who had attacked the Fifth Prince, but after a few days there was no news at all.
He had never felt so frustrated that someone could do such dirty things right under his nose without being discovered.
Now looking at Xiaowu's appearance, his heart ached so much.
Kangxi held Yipin in his arms and comforted her, "Take good care of yourself and the child. I will take care of the rest."
As if he couldn't face what was happening before him, Kangxi comforted him with a few words and then left.
He had never been so frustrated before, so much so that he didn't say a word for the entire day after returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When Yinreng came back from get out of class, Liang Jiugong felt like he had seen a savior.
"Little Ancestor, please persuade the Emperor. He hasn't spoken a word all day."
Afterwards, Liang Jiugong told Yinreng what happened in the Yiku Palace, and he frowned.
[Could it be because of these reasons that Concubine Yi sent Xiaowu to be raised by Ukuma Ma in the previous life?]
Kangxi, who was sitting silently in the inner hall, frowned when he heard this voice.
He had previously been wondering what had prompted Concubine Yi to send the child to the Empress Dowager. Now, after hearing what his eldest son said, it seemed that this was indeed possible.
"Emperor Father"
Yinreng walked over to Kangxi and hugged him, "Father, don't be sad. Your son will be heartbroken."
