"Imperial Physician Liu, is the Imperial Concubine alright?" Kangxi asked Imperial Physician Liu.
He Xue and the Fourth Prince also looked at Physician Liu expectantly.
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say! The antidote isn't effective immediately!" At this moment, Physician Liu's forehead and body were covered with fine sweat due to nervousness.
Consort Tongjia is still clinging to life, and it's uncertain whether she can hold on until the antidote takes effect!
"Your Majesty, we must use thousand-year-old ginseng to keep the Imperial Concubine alive and try to help her hold on until the antidote works!" said Physician Liu.
"A thousand-year-old ginseng? Liang Jiugong, go to my storeroom and bring me that thousand-year-old ginseng!" Kangxi shouted to Liang Jiugong.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jiugong personally went to retrieve the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Consort Hui, Consort Rong, Consort Yi, and the other concubines knelt outside the door, and everyone in Chengqian Palace knelt on the ground, weeping.
After Liang Jiugong brought the ginseng over, Physician Liu immediately took out a piece and had Consort Tongjia put it in her mouth before he went to decoct the medicine.
Physician Liu brought over the ginseng decoction and fed it to Consort Tongjia.
He Xue and the others would wait silently, hoping that a miracle would happen.
Physician Liu took Consort Tongjia's pulse again. At this moment, Physician Liu really wanted to cry out to the heavens, because the Consort's pulse was a little stronger than before.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's pulse has improved!"
"Really? Does that mean everything is alright?" Emperor Kangxi was also overjoyed and wept.
"Your Majesty, we need to continue observing!" said Physician Liu.
"Alright, alright! Just tell me what you need! As long as it can save Qingyao!" Kangxi said.
"Your Majesty, please carry the Empress inside now, and I will examine her carefully!"
No sooner had Physician Liu finished speaking than Emperor Kangxi had already carried Consort Tongjia into the room.
"Hurry up! If you delay saving the Imperial Concubine, I will not let you off lightly!"
At Kangxi's roar, Physician Liu scrambled to his feet and strode into the room.
He Xue didn't know what to say at that moment, having truly experienced both great sorrow and joy.
"He Xue, get up quickly, Mother Tong is alright!" The Crown Prince helped He Xue up.
"Yes, Aunt is alright!" He Xue said with a smile through her tears. "Brother Crown Prince, could you please send someone to tell my mother? She must be so worried!"
“Alright, I’ll have He Zhu make the trip himself!” the Crown Prince said.
"Thank you, Your Highness..." Before He Xue could finish speaking, she felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she collapsed.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince immediately caught He Xue. Looking at He Xue's tightly closed eyes, the Crown Prince felt his heart stop beating. "He Xue, He Xue!"
"Second Brother, take He Xue inside first! I'll go find the imperial physician!" the Fourth Prince shouted.
The prince then came to his senses and carried He Xue towards her room.
Soon the Fourth Prince brought the imperial physician over. The Fourth Prince was filled with self-blame. His mother had asked him to take good care of He Xue, but now He Xue had fainted. He had not only failed to take good care of his mother, but also failed to take good care of He Xue.
Under the Crown Prince's watchful gaze, the imperial physician nervously took He Xue's pulse and finally told the Crown Prince that He Xue was fine, just tired and hadn't rested well. Moreover, she had experienced great joy and sorrow, and her emotional fluctuations were too great, so she couldn't bear it and fainted.
The crown prince still didn't quite believe the imperial physician's words. How could he have fainted for no reason? In the end, he had no choice but to believe him after the imperial physician's repeated assurances.
At the same time, the Crown Prince felt very guilty, blaming himself for not paying attention to He Xue. He Xue hadn't rested all night, and he was almost exhausted, let alone He Xue.
The Crown Prince stayed by He Xue's side the whole time, and he was relieved when he saw He Xue wake up.
On Consort Tongjia's side, Imperial Physician Liu personally examined her carefully again. Now that the antidote has been taken, we can only wait and see whether Consort Tongjia will wake up.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's pulse is stronger than before, but I am not sure when she will wake up!" After saying this, Imperial Physician Liu lowered his head as much as possible.
Kangxi nodded, looking at Consort Tongjia with affection, "As long as Qingyao stays by my side, that's enough. If she doesn't wake up for a day, I'll stay with her for a day; if she doesn't wake up for ten days, I'll stay with her for ten days! If she doesn't wake up for a lifetime, I'll stay with her for a lifetime!"
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Ren Dong, Nuan Chun, and others couldn't help but shed tears and weep uncontrollably.
"Where is He Xue? I haven't seen her." Kangxi felt that he had done well thanks to He Xue this time, so he wondered if He Xue had made another discovery since he hadn't seen her.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xue suddenly fainted just now, and the Crown Prince is by her side!" Liang Jiugong said.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly faint?" Kangxi asked.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that Xue Gege is young and exhausted, and has experienced too much, so the emotional gap is too great, and she couldn't bear it for a moment, which is why she fainted!"
"This child has worked hard too. Tell Baocheng to take good care of Hexue!" Kangxi instructed Liang Jiugong.
"Yes, Your Highness, this servant will go and inform you immediately!"
