News of Consort Niu's fainting reached Yikun Palace.
Xu Lejin frowned, her expression thoughtful, and said hesitantly, "Why did Consort Niu suddenly faint? I've always heard that Consort Niu is very healthy..."
Fifteen minutes later
Xu Lejin arrived at Chuxiu Palace and was surprised to see Consort Niu's deathly pale face.
With a stern face, Xu Lejin looked at the palace maids serving Consort Niu and said in a deep voice, "Why did your consort suddenly vomit blood and faint?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, my lady is... is..."
The young palace maid was trembling as she prepared to tell the truth, but was stopped by Consort Niu's wet nurse.
Consort Niu's wet nurse stepped forward, knelt and bowed respectfully to Xu Lejin, and said in a respectful voice, "Your Highness, our Consort was too tired from the Mid-Autumn Festival preparations, and coupled with her anxiety and pent-up emotions, she fainted."
"As for the Empress vomiting blood, that's completely unfounded."
After speaking, the wet nurse glared at the young palace maid and sent her away to do her work.
With a smile on her lips, Xu Lejin nodded gently.
“It was indeed hard work for Consort Niu to manage the affairs of the six palaces.”
Changing the subject, Xu Lejin's gaze fell on Consort Niu, and she murmured, "Consort Niu suddenly fainted. Did you send anyone to the Imperial Hospital to fetch an imperial physician to treat her?"
The wet nurse smiled and replied that she had already sent someone to invite them.
A moment later, the imperial physician was dragged in by a eunuch from Chuxiu Palace in a hurry. He was about to bow to Xu Lejin when Xu Lejin shook her head to stop him and spoke in a deep voice.
"In this urgent situation, let's act quickly and go treat Consort Niu first!"
The imperial physician respectfully agreed and quickly went to Consort Niu's bedside.
With a furrowed brow, the imperial physician took Consort Niu's pulse, his expression grave, seemingly troubled and conflicted.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi and the other concubines of the harem arrived one after another.
Even from the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager sent Sumalagu to inquire.
Large beads of sweat dripped from the imperial physician's forehead, soaking his back. He was filled with fear and unease, wondering how this could have happened.
How could this happen?
Consort Niu's excessive use of fertility-enhancing drugs backfired, harming her health.
His face deathly pale, the imperial physician staggered to his feet and knelt upright before Emperor Kangxi, his voice trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Consort Niu..."
"What happened to Consort Niu?"
Emperor Kangxi's face darkened, and he looked sharply at the imperial physician.
The imperial physician gritted his teeth and spoke with his eyes closed. "Your Majesty, Consort Niu has overdosed on fertility-enhancing drugs, damaging her health. She will find it difficult to conceive again."
Xu Lejin was stunned when she heard this.
Consort Hui, Consort An, Consort Duan, and others looked at each other in disbelief, while a hint of schadenfreude flashed quickly in Noble Lady Lan's lowered eyes.
The entire Chuxiu Palace fell silent instantly.
A minute, a second, passed in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Kangxi came to his senses and said coldly, "Besides the fact that Consort Niu may never be able to conceive again, is everything else alright?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Niu is in good health, but she fainted due to a sudden surge of anger."
The imperial physician knelt on the ground, trying to minimize his presence.
Xu Lejin opened her mouth to say a few words of advice, but the words stuck in her throat like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. She couldn't utter a single word of comfort and could only offer Kangxi silent solace.
After pondering for what seemed like an eternity, Kangxi spoke, "Liang Jiugong, convey my decree: restore Consort Niu's title of 'Wen'. Consort Niu is unwell; the Imperial Hospital is to take meticulous care of her."
"twitter."
In the stillness of the night, Consort Wen awoke from her deep sleep.
The palace maids serving Consort Wen all bowed their heads, their expressions sorrowful. Consort Wen's wet nurse wiped away her tears, looking at Consort Wen with a complicated expression, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Consort Wen stammered, "Nanny, what's wrong with me? Why did I suddenly faint?"
"Your Majesty, you're awake?"
Suppressing her grief, the wet nurse forced a smile and turned to the maids, instructing, "Prepare some food. Her Highness has just woken up and is weak; she needs to eat."
"yes,"
The palace maids responded and withdrew.
The wet nurse wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile as she spoke, "This servant congratulates Your Highness. His Majesty has restored your title. Your Highness is now Consort Wen."
"、、、、"
Consort Niu's expression froze for a moment, then she looked at the wet nurse with a serious expression and said coldly, "Nanny, why did the Emperor suddenly restore my title? I—"
Am I really okay?
The wet nurse looked away and sighed.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Early the next morning
Xu Lejin got up and, with the help of Ruhua and Nongying, a palace maid newly bestowed by Emperor Kangxi, sat in front of the dressing table to do her makeup and change her clothes.
Second-class palace maid Liuying hurried in from outside the hall and respectfully said, "Your Highness, news has come from Chuxiu Palace that Consort Wen woke up around midnight last night."
"When Consort Wen learned that she would have difficulty conceiving again, she was so excited that she fainted again."
Xu Lejin nodded, put down the Ruyi hairpin in her hand, and sighed softly.
"Consort Wen longed to conceive day and night, and even took fertility drugs for it. Now that she suddenly learned that it would be difficult for her to conceive again, it is understandable that she could not accept it."
After a pause, Xu Lejin continued, "I am curious, Consort Wen's fertility-enhancing prescription is said to have been tested many times by the Niohuru family and is quite effective in helping with pregnancy. Why is it that Consort Wen has been taking it for so long but has not yet conceived?"
"Now, Consort Wen has actually harmed her health due to overdose."
Ru Hua gave Liu Ying, a second-class palace maid, a wink, signaling her to step back.
