There were some decent ones, but their personalities were simply unbearable. He was an emperor, and he needed gentle and obedient people, not those who would oppose him in everything.
Arguing with those court officials in the previous dynasty wasn't enough; upon returning home, not only would there be no gentle words, but they would also have to accept their righteous advice. Just thinking about it makes me lose all interest.
Li Dequan quietly slipped out, brewed a cup of hangover tea, and brought it in. Just as he placed it beside Kangxi, he heard, "Tell me, when will a person truly be satisfied?"
Li Dequan's heart tightened. Was this a question that their lackeys could answer?
But when the Emperor asked him, he couldn't not answer. After a moment's hesitation, he replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you're putting this servant in a difficult position! But I don't know about others, as long as I can continue to serve Your Majesty, this servant will be content!"
Emperor Kangxi picked up a memorial from the side and threw it at Li Dequan, saying in an annoyed tone, "You dog slave, now you've learned to fool me too!"
Li Dequan reached out and took the memorial, then carefully put it back.
The Emperor's voice no longer sounded as gloomy as before, but serving the Emperor was like walking on thin ice, so Li Dequan still knelt on the ground and replied, "Your Majesty! This servant is just a eunuch. I am satisfied that I have caught Your Majesty's eye and can serve Your Majesty for the rest of my life! This servant really did not deceive Your Majesty!"
"Get out! Don't delay me from reviewing memorials!"
Li Dequan was secretly pleased. Although the emperor had told him to get out, he was certain that the emperor's mood had improved considerably!
"Yes! This servant will get out of here right away!" he said, and was about to prostrate himself on the ground.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but burst out laughing!
"Li Dequan, Li Dequan! You old bastard! Get out of here right now!"
When Kangxi saw that Li Dequan was really about to roll out, his comical appearance pleased Kangxi greatly, and all the gloomy atmosphere dissipated.
"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant will go out immediately!"
Li Dequan joked around for a while, then happily withdrew and stood outside the door. The guards nearby were very curious whether Eunuch Li had found gold or received some reward from the Emperor, otherwise why would he be laughing like that?
How could Li Dequan not see the guards staring at him? But he didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He still stood outside the door with a smile on his face. He was right. As long as he could serve the emperor peacefully for the rest of his life, he would be satisfied!
A person should leave something behind in their lifetime. If one's body is disabled, there can be no descendants. But if one serves the emperor well, that will be recorded in history.
By then, Li Dequan will be a famous figure who will be remembered for all time. Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.
Harigana had regained consciousness, but the pain in the back of her head and the dream she had just had left her somewhat dazed.
"Harigana, how are you? Where does it hurt?"
Sengiya looked at Harigana, who had regained consciousness but seemed somewhat dazed, and was very worried.
Turning to look at Baoliri, if she hadn't still had a sliver of reason left, she might have directly asked her husband, Harigana, if he had gone mad!
"Harigana! Tell Abu, where do you feel unwell?"
Having spent so many years with Baoli Ri and Seinjiya, how could he not know the deeper meaning behind that look? Besides, he also wondered if he had really gone mad from being obsessed.
"Mother, Abu, your daughter is fine! I'm sorry to have worried you! She just has a slight pain in the back of her head, but it will be better in a couple of days!"
Hearing that Harigana spoke fluently, Senjiya and Baoliri were finally relieved. After all, a fool wouldn't speak so clearly; their daughter hadn't become foolish.
"That's good, that's good!"
After saying this, Saenjiya looked conflicted, but still decided to tell Harigana about Sumalagu bringing the imperial physician over.
That emperor of the Qing Dynasty was truly elusive. If he were to secretly repeat himself sometime, Harigana would need to know about it to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Empress, you said it was the Empress Dowager who sent them?"
Harigana didn't quite understand, but as long as he wasn't someone close to Emperor Kangxi, it was fine.
Yes! Just keep that in mind!
Harigana nodded, indicating that he understood.
And so, Harigana began to tend to the large bump on his head. The imperial physician prescribed several doses of medicine, using the finest herbs brought by the emperor, which left Baoli Ri speechless with amazement.
I never expected that this emperor would actually go to such lengths for a woman. It's just a bump on his head; it'll go away in a few days!
Although Harigana's body is indeed somewhat weak, there's no need for him to use a ginseng root that's hundreds of years old to replenish his strength.
Not to mention Baoli Ri was astonished, even Harigana himself was finding it hard to accept.
Someone's family is so kind, drinking warming and nourishing herbs every day in the sweltering summer heat. Their head wound has healed, but their mouth is starting to get blisters!
Every day it's so hot I need to drink a lot of water, then I start going to the toilet, and when I go outside I'm covered in sweat again, then I take a shower, drink water, and go to the toilet again.
The imperial physician only stopped giving her the tonic when her nose started bleeding.
Harigana did consider going to Emperor Kangxi, hoping he could tell the imperial physicians that his medication could be stopped.
But who would have thought that Kangxi would take several Mongol leaders to the Russian border, a round trip that would take three or four days.
Harigana discussed it with the imperial physician many times, but the physician remained unmoved. Even though he had agreed at noon, he would still deliver the medicine to her on time in the evening.
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!"
That day, Dulan noticed two drops of red liquid on Harigana's clothes. When she looked up, she saw two bright red bloodstains on Harigana's nose. She was so frightened that she ran out to call the imperial physician.
Before leaving, Emperor Kangxi summoned the imperial physician and gave him detailed instructions. So after he arrived at the Russian border, the physician stayed with Harigana and his group.
Upon hearing Dulan's voice, the imperial physician's heart tightened, thinking something had happened to Harigana. He grabbed his medicine chest and rushed to her tent, only to find...
"Princess!"
Harigana wanted to stop Dulan, but she was running too fast, and she didn't dare to open her mouth, otherwise blood would definitely flow from her mouth.
Helpless, she could only walk to the basin of ice, pick up a small piece of ice, wrap it in a handkerchief, and press it onto her forehead.
So when Dulan brought the imperial physician in, what she saw was a dignified princess with two bloody snot dripping from her nose, holding an ice cube to her forehead and jumping up and down.
"It's alright! It's alright! Imperial Physician, did you see? I really don't need to take any more tonics anymore!"
Harigana's face was flushed red; she hadn't had time to deal with her nose, so she looked quite disheveled. But she really couldn't care less about her appearance now; stopping the bleeding was the most important thing.
However, she was thinking to herself that when Kangxi returned, she would definitely have a good talk with this imperial physician to find out whether he was keeping her by her side to treat her illness or to kill her!
