"Doctor Liu, is there something wrong with my body? I want to hear the truth!" Doctor Liu's words just now made He Xue realize that there was something wrong with her.
"Is there really something wrong with He Xue's health?" The Imperial Noble Consort looked at Physician Liu and realized that He Xue's health was indeed in trouble.
Physician Liu felt that since he had already said everything he shouldn't have, one more thing wouldn't make a difference. "Your Highness, you were poisoned by Ebony Seed before. Although the poison has been cured, your health has been affected, which will affect your future offspring!"
"The Crown Prince knows about this, doesn't he?" He Xue was quite certain that the Crown Prince knew.
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince does indeed know!"
"Does His Majesty know?" the Imperial Noble Consort asked anxiously. An heir was too important to He Xue. If the Crown Prince could only get close to He Xue, and if He Xue had difficulty conceiving, the Crown Prince's position would probably be unstable.
"His Majesty knows as well!" said Physician Liu.
The Imperial Noble Consort was somewhat puzzled. Since Emperor Kangxi knew that He Xue's health was compromised, why did he still allow He Xue to marry the Crown Prince? Was he simply trying to use He Xue to cover up the Crown Prince's strange illness?
"Thank you so much, Physician Liu, for telling me so much today!" He Xue said calmly.
The Imperial Noble Consort glanced at He Xue, then dismissed Physician Liu.
"He Xue, don't worry, once you get your body in good condition, you can still get pregnant!" The Imperial Noble Consort comforted He Xue.
He Xue looked up at the Imperial Noble Consort, who then noticed that He Xue was already in tears. "Aunt, my brother the Crown Prince has suffered so much for me. If Banxia hadn't happened to see him today, I probably would never have known."
Seeing that He Xue was only concerned about the Crown Prince and had not considered her own situation, the Imperial Noble Consort was at a loss for words.
Although the Crown Prince said it was so that He Xue could drink the contraceptive soup, if He Xue never conceives, she will probably be the one to suffer all of this in the end.
"Baocheng didn't want you to know because he wanted you to be happy, so you can't let Baocheng's good intentions go to waste!" The Imperial Noble Consort could only try to comfort He Xue.
He Xue wiped away her tears and said firmly to the Imperial Noble Consort, "Aunt, I understand."
The Imperial Noble Consort tidied He Xue's hair, saying, "No matter what, your aunt will always be here!"
"I know!" He Xue said, gently hugging the Imperial Noble Consort.
Because the Eighth Prince was poisoned at the Imperial Clan Court, Emperor Kangxi specially allowed him to return home for treatment.
Meanwhile, Emperor Kangxi was also sending people to investigate the poisoning of the Eighth Prince. The Crown Prince's previous attitude made him suspect that the matter might be related to the Crown Prince.
Over the years, he had noticed that the Crown Prince got along well with all his brothers, showing brotherly affection and respect, but he always seemed hostile towards the Eighth Prince. Was it because he valued the Eighth Prince too much, which made the Crown Prince resentful?
The more Kangxi thought about it, the more likely it seemed. It appeared he needed to explain to the Crown Prince that no one could surpass the Crown Prince's position in his heart.
The Crown Prince was also very shocked when he learned that the Eighth Prince had been poisoned. Who would be so bold as to poison the Eighth Prince in the Imperial Clan Court?
The person in charge of looking after the Eighth Prince was the Tenth Prince's uncle, Aling'a. Moreover, according to what he knew, Aling'a seemed to have a special fondness for the Eighth Prince, and over the years Aling'a had done a lot to support the Eighth Prince.
Considering all this, the Crown Prince felt that this was very likely a self-directed and self-acted ruse by the Eighth Prince, in order to make Kangxi feel pity, so that the Eighth Prince could leave the Imperial Clan Court.
