Consort Wuya wanted to say a few more words in her defense, "Your Majesty, this concubine..."
Kangxi looked at Consort Wuya, his eyes no longer filled with the joy they had shown before, but with scrutiny and suspicion. It seemed he had underestimated these women.
Consort Wuya felt a chill run down her spine under Kangxi's gaze and couldn't utter a single word.
"He Xue is right. Since he is a quack doctor, there is no need to keep him around!"
"Physician Liu, you are the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, this matter is entrusted to you!" Kangxi said to Physician Liu.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!" Imperial Physician Liu was quite grateful to He Xue. He had wanted to deal with the person who took the pulse for Consort Wuya for a long time, but that person was backed by Consort Wuya and was usually very arrogant, not even taking him, the head of the Imperial Physician, seriously.
Now that we have His Majesty's decree, let's see how arrogant he can be.
"Now that Consort Wuya is pregnant, she should rest and recuperate properly at Yonghe Palace!"
As for the people who serve Consort Wuya in Yonghe Palace, they should be replaced! Consort Wuya is three months pregnant and they didn't even realize it; they're all useless.
"I'll leave this matter of my cousin to you to handle!" Kangxi said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Consort Tongjia replied.
Upon hearing this, Consort Wuya fainted. She was now completely confined to her quarters, and everyone around her had been purged. Could she trust the people Tong Jiaqingwan had given her?
"Why did she faint again? Was she really faking it this time?" He Xue muttered to herself.
He Xue looked at Physician Liu, "Physician Liu, since you're still here, please take a look at Consort Wuya!"
Seeing that neither Emperor Kangxi nor Consort Tongjia objected to He Xue's words, Physician Liu went to Consort Wuya's side and took her pulse.
A moment later, Physician Liu said to Emperor Kangxi, "Your Majesty, Consort Wuya is suffering from qi stagnation and liver fire stagnation..."
He Xue was completely bewildered by what Doctor Liu said; she could have explained it much earlier if she had just been using her erudition.
"Speak like a human!" He Xue said directly.
Physician Liu looked at He Xue, puzzled. "Your Highness, I was speaking plainly!"
"Excuse me, Physician Liu, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, could you just say what the problem is? We don't understand what you're saying."
I believe even the Emperor's uncle wouldn't understand, since what you're saying is all technical jargon that most people wouldn't understand.
Instead of wasting time here, why not just say it directly?
Kangxi agreed with He Xue's point, as he himself didn't always understand the imperial physicians' practices. "He Xue is right," he said. "From now on, just tell me what's going on directly! Don't waste time on this."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Physician Liu replied.
Finally, Physician Liu briefly explained why Consort Wuya fainted, and Xue felt that it was because she was angry.
"Your Majesty, let someone send Consort Wuya back to Yonghe Palace!"
"It seems that Consort Wuya and Consort Chengqian are truly incompatible, otherwise how could she have fainted three times already!" Consort Tongjia said.
"Alright!" Although Kangxi was not worried about Consort Wuya, he was still concerned about the child in her womb.
"Liang Jiugong, arrange for someone to carry Consort Wuya back to Yonghe Palace!"
"Yes, Your servant obeys!" Liang Jiugong immediately arranged for people to carry Consort Wuya away.
He Xue took the opportunity to look at Wu Ya Guiren's knees, and sure enough, there was a bulge there. He Xue knew something was wrong.
"Wait a minute!" He Xue called out to the little eunuch who was about to carry Consort Wuya away.
"He Xue, what's wrong?" Consort Tongjia asked He Xue. He Xue wouldn't say something like that for no reason.
"Aunt, does it look like something's wrong with Consort Wuya's knees?"
Consort Tongjia really didn't notice anything wrong. "Really? I don't see anything amiss!"
"Maybe I saw it wrong!" He Xue said. She didn't necessarily want to expose Consort Wuya. Anyway, there would be plenty of time later.
Kangxi, however, thought differently. He also noticed that Consort Wuya's knees were different. "Cousin, let someone take a look!"
Consort Tongjia glanced at Emperor Kangxi with displeasure. She thought that Emperor Kangxi was worried about Consort Wuya and had sent someone to check on her because he was not at ease.
Emperor Kangxi felt a little guilty under Consort Tongjia's gaze. He hadn't done anything wrong! Why was his cousin looking at him like that again?
"Ren Dong, go and take a look!" Consort Tongjia said to Ren Dong.
"Yes!" Ren Dong came to Noble Lady Wuya and gently lifted her cheongsam, revealing two small cushions tied to her knees.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness! Consort Wuya has two small cushions tied to her knees," Ren Dong replied.
"What kind of cushion is it? Take it down and let Physician Liu take a look!" Kangxi said. He thought that Consort Wuya's knee was injured. Now that Consort Wuya was pregnant, some medicines could not be used indiscriminately.
Honeysuckle took the cushion down and presented it to Physician Liu.
Physician Liu examined the cushion carefully, then smelled it. "Your Majesty, I found nothing unusual. It should just be cotton!"
"Cotton? Why would Consort Wuya tie two cotton pads to her knees?" Emperor Kangxi was completely baffled.
He Xue felt that she was the one to explain, "Uncle Emperor, I know what's going on!"
"You tell me!" Kangxi said to Hexue.
