The crown prince thought it must be his own imagination; how could he hear other people's thoughts? How could such an astonishing thing happen!
The crown prince looked at Kangxi, but he heard nothing.
The crown prince was relieved and said, "That can't be!"
The crown prince's gaze fell once more on the two young palace maids.
"Is His Highness the Crown Prince looking at me? Has His Highness taken a liking to me? It seems my good days are about to begin!" the palace maid on the left thought to herself.
"For the sake of future wealth and glory, I'll be the Crown Prince! It's better than being a palace maid!" These were the thoughts of the palace maid on the right.
The crown prince was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? How could such a bizarre thing happen to him? He could really hear the thoughts of those two people.
What surprised the Crown Prince most was not that he could hear other people's thoughts, but the attitude of these two people. These two palace maids actually used him as a stepping stone, a ladder for them to get rid of their status as palace maids.
And they were picky about him, even though he was the crown prince!
The Crown Prince looked at the two palace maids with murderous intent. How could he, a Crown Prince, not be able to deal with two palace maids?
But why does he feel so disgusted when he sees these two people?
Emperor Kangxi was paying close attention to the Crown Prince's expression. He noticed that the Crown Prince would look at the two palace maids one moment and then at him the next, with his expression changing frequently. What was going on?
"Baocheng, what do you think of these two people?" Kangxi asked. This was the Crown Prince's first time, so he couldn't be careless and couldn't give the Crown Prince any bad impression, lest it affect his offspring in the future!
"Father..." The Crown Prince had barely opened his mouth when he felt his heart racing, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.
The prince's face turned pale, his heart pounded faster and faster, and he became increasingly panicked.
Looking at the pale-faced Crown Prince, Kangxi asked worriedly, "Baocheng, what's wrong?"
Then he shouted loudly to Liang Jiugong, "Summon the imperial physician!"
Upon seeing this, Liang Jiugong immediately ran out to find the imperial physician.
Emperor Kangxi caught the Crown Prince who was about to fall, saying, "Baocheng, it's alright, your father is here!"
Emperor Kangxi's hands were trembling. He had already lost too many children. He had raised the Crown Prince himself. Had the Eternal Heaven not yet let him go? Was it going to take the Crown Prince away as well?
"Father, let them go!" the Crown Prince said with his last strength, pointing at the two palace maids before fainting.
"Get out!" Kangxi shouted.
The two palace maids were terrified and quickly retreated. They were as happy as they had been just moments before, but now they were filled with fear. The Crown Prince had fainted because of them. If the Crown Prince died, would they be buried with him?
"Someone, go and urge the imperial physician!" Kangxi roared at the door.
No sooner had Kangxi finished speaking than Liang Jiugong arrived with all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital.
"Give……"
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly examine the Crown Prince!" Kangxi hurriedly interrupted the imperial physicians' greetings.
Physician Liu had already inquired about Liang Jiugong's general condition on the way.
Physician Liu walked up to the Crown Prince, took his pulse, and frowned deeply.
Looking at Physician Liu's expression, Kangxi felt a sudden sense of panic.
Physician Liu stepped aside, allowing the physician behind him to take the prince's pulse again.
"What's wrong with the Crown Prince?" Kangxi asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, we examined the Crown Prince's pulse and found nothing amiss!" After saying this, Physician Liu knelt before Emperor Kangxi, and the other physicians behind him also knelt down.
"You say you're alright?" Kangxi was furious. The Crown Prince was pale and had fainted, yet he was still alright. "Imperial Physician Liu, don't think that just because you saved the Imperial Noble Consort, I can't do anything to you."
Look at the Crown Prince's condition! You're telling me he's alright? Does my Imperial Hospital have a bunch of quacks?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's pulse is normal. We are merely ignorant and incompetent!" Physician Liu and the others immediately apologized.
"Useless trash, good-for-nothing!" Kangxi cursed angrily.
"Father!" At this moment, the Crown Prince also slowly woke up.
Kangxi quickly went to the Crown Prince's side, "Baocheng, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Father, I am much better now!" Although the Crown Prince's face was still pale, it was much better than before.
"Your Majesty, I have a question for His Highness the Crown Prince!" Imperial Physician Liu was quite curious about the Crown Prince's sudden fainting and the absence of any abnormal symptoms in his pulse.
"Go ahead and ask!"
"Your Highness, was there anything amiss before you fainted?" Physician Liu asked the Crown Prince.
The crown prince thought for a moment, then said, "I just feel extremely disgusted!"
"Has Your Highness eaten or come into contact with anything before?"
The crown prince thought for a moment, then said, "No!"
He was perfectly fine when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace; it was only after seeing those two palace maids that he developed these symptoms.
The crown prince swallowed his words back. If he could use this opportunity well, he might be able to avoid the imperial concubine selection.
However, it's best not to tell others about this, otherwise the news that "the Qing Dynasty's crown prince is afraid of women" will probably spread far and wide.
