Chapter 46 There is something dirty in Kunning Palace
Xiangzhu knew she had offended the Empress, but with her mistress's safety at stake, she could only look after her mistress first. Once her mistress was safe, she would apologize to the Empress herself.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I had no intention of offending you. Once Your Majesty is out of trouble, I will certainly apologize to the Empress."
Since that's what they said, Fanghua naturally wouldn't hold a grudge. "She's loyal, that's fine. I'm not petty. Now, can you tell me why your lady is like this?"
Xiangzhu did not hide anything, because she served by the Empress's side and clearly remembered that the accident happened when her Empress handed Prince Chenghu to the wet nurse.
Fanghua's brows furrowed more and more as she listened.
She raised her hand to Qiaoling and then whispered a few words in her ear.
Qiaoling quickly went down.
"Think again about what your lady took before coming to Kunning Palace? Or what she was carrying?" Based on her understanding of Niohuru, she genuinely liked Chenghu, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed her to spend time with Chenghu.
Now that something has happened, it must be someone's doing something, but we don't know what kind of trickery they've used.
The imperial physician arrived before Qiaoling returned.
Fanghua told the imperial physician to dispense with formalities and to quickly examine Niohuru's pulse.
Fanghua was getting anxious, wondering if the imperial physicians were incompetent. Just as she was about to send someone to invite Physician Zhang over, the emperor's arrival was announced from outside.
Fanghua immediately stepped forward to greet her.
Kangxi did not immediately go to see Niohuru, but stopped and helped the Empress up. "Your Majesty, there is no need for such formalities. How is the Consort?" His tone did not reveal whether he was anxious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fanghua stood up with his help and then replied, "The imperial physician hasn't finished taking her pulse yet." She had a clear conscience and wasn't afraid of the imperial physician checking.
Emperor Kangxi knew the Empress well, and seeing her like this, he knew that the matter concerning the Consort had nothing to do with her. "Did I frighten you? It's alright, I'm here."
Anyone else would have been moved by Kangxi's concern, but Fanghua wouldn't, because she understood Kangxi and knew why he said those words.
It was only because she had no guilty conscience that Kangxi treated her this way. If she had shown even the slightest other expression, Kangxi would not have treated her this way.
The Emperor and Empress arrived hand in hand at the Consort's resting area. The servants stood up and bowed. Kangxi released the Empress's hand and went to check on the Consort. Seeing the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, he asked in a stern tone, "How is the Consort?"
The imperial physician was trembling with fear, for he had discerned an extraordinary pulse.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead like water droplets.
Seeing his appearance, Kangxi's brows furrowed deeply.
"explain."
Unable to withstand the emperor's pressure, the imperial physician honestly confessed the pulse he had felt.
After hearing the imperial physician's words, Fanghua's eyes flashed with confusion. She had already asked Xiaofeng to administer the medicine, so she was not surprised that Niohuru was pregnant. But why did she miscarry?
This was something she couldn't understand. You see, all her pills were made with the help of Xiao Feng's power and the medicinal herbs in her space. Putting aside everything else, their effects were something that ordinary medicines couldn't counteract.
Just how weak was Niohuru's body?
She had used diluted spiritual spring water on her before, so this shouldn't have happened.
"Miscarriage." Kangxi's voice was filled with deep coldness. Niohuru was pregnant. Was there a problem on his side, or did the Niohuru family already know about his actions?
At this moment, Emperor Kangxi was extremely shocked, because he knew better than anyone how effective those medicines were. It was precisely because he knew this that he was so surprised by Niohuru's pregnancy.
Are you sure?
Fanghua also looked shocked. "Imperial physician, is it accurate? Should we ask a few more imperial physicians to come and examine her?" She also wanted to know what heavenly law Niohuru had violated that caused her to miscarry even a child conceived with a spatial elixir.
It should be noted that Consort Hui drinks a contraceptive soup after each time she serves the emperor, and the baby in her belly is still perfectly healthy.
Upon hearing the Empress's words, the imperial physician immediately grasped at this straw, believing that only by implicating more people could he save his own life.
"Your Majesty the Empress is wise."
Kangxi glanced at the Empress, then ordered Wei Zhu to fetch the imperial physician.
Imperial physicians are imperial physicians, and court physicians are court physicians; the two are worlds apart.
While they were waiting, the Empress Dowager and her maid arrived.
I suppose he was asking about the Imperial Concubine's condition.
Fanghua told them about the Imperial Concubine's situation, and the two women were both surprised when they heard that the Imperial Concubine had miscarried.
Seeing their expressions, Fanghua realized that they all knew about Niohuru's infertility. It was pitiful; she was yet another woman persecuted by those in power.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the imperial physicians arrived. Emperor Kangxi stood up and made way for the physicians to examine and treat him.
Qiaoling returned at this moment and secretly came up behind her mistress, telling her what she knew in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Fanghua was alarmed. "Go, go check on Chenghu quickly!" If Chenghu was injured this time, she wouldn't mind sending the culprit to meet the King of Hell as soon as possible.
Qiaoling knew that the Empress was anxious, but after she found out, she immediately went to see Prince Chenghu. The prince was in good health and had not been poisoned by the other auxiliary drug, so the poison did not harm him at all.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have already checked on the prince, and he is fine." There are many people around, so some things cannot be said too explicitly.
Upon hearing that her son was alright, Fanghua's coldness lessened somewhat.
"Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. Take Zhang Mama and go guard Chenghu, and have Li Changfu stay by his side."
She's going to see who's courting death today.
"yes."
After Qiaoling left, Li Changfu came in from the outer room. He was a smart man and didn't stand in a conspicuous position. He stood in a position that was neither too close nor too far from the Empress, but that he could step forward to protect her if anything happened.
Fanghua noticed his subtle actions and became even more satisfied with Li Changfu.
This person had served her in her past life. Because she was young, she didn't have a good impression of the eunuchs around her, so she rarely used them and mostly just had them run errands.
In this life, she naturally knew the abilities of these eunuchs and also intended to employ Li Changfu and others, so she couldn't let them suffer any injustice.
The imperial physicians had some good news, but the signals they gave were all bad; they all told the Emperor that the Consort had indeed gone into premature labor.
Fanghua knew that it was time for her to step forward, otherwise the blame would fall on her head.
"Can you find out why the Imperial Concubine miscarried?" Fanghua walked to the Emperor's side and stood down, then asked the imperial physicians kneeling there.
"Is it poisoning, or is there a problem with the Imperial Concubine's health?"
Fanghua's words immediately drew the ire of Xiangzhu and the others.
At this moment, for the sake of their mistress, they couldn't care less about anything else. Xiangzhu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please see the truth. My mistress has always been in good health, and there are medical records to prove this. Therefore, the miscarriage of the mistress is definitely not related to the mistress herself."
Fanghua was so angry at her words that she laughed. "Oh, so you mean that I harmed your master and your master's child?" Fanghua asked angrily.
Xiangzhu lowered her head, her expression seemingly acquiescing. "Good, good, good Consort, you've trained a loyal servant."
