Upon hearing this, Xu Lejin looked surprised. After quickly considering it in her mind for a moment, she whispered, "The imperial physicians in the palace are highly skilled, and Consort Wen used to be very healthy. Consort Wen will definitely be able to survive this ordeal."
Kangxi smiled.
His thoughts drifted far away. After a long while, Kangxi said in a cold voice, "Even if Hua Tuo were alive, and the imperial physicians were highly skilled, they still couldn't save someone who was destined to die."
