"Go tell the Empress Dowager! I will be there to have lunch with her at noon; I still need to review memorials!"
Kangxi's face darkened. If he guessed correctly, it was probably because his grandmother had seen Harigana's appearance yesterday and then thought of his good father, fearing that he might produce another "first son of the Emperor"!
But he's not the Emperor, and now there's the Crown Prince. Even if he really wants a woman, does he have to consider other people's opinions?
Is it true that only people from the Khorchin region can do this, and no one else can?
Li Dequan responded, then, remembering the news from the imperial physician, he quietly reported to Kangxi: "Your Majesty! The imperial physician just sent word that Princess Harigana seems to be feeling unwell, and they have summoned the imperial physician you left behind to take her pulse."
Kangxi's expression darkened further. He wasn't thinking that Harigana was truly unwell or ill, but rather that he had summoned the imperial physician to persuade him to abandon the idea of bringing her into the palace.
However, beauties still have special privileges. If it were anyone else, they would have been reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi by now!
Go and take a look!
Kangxi had already decided that he would take Harigana back this time no matter what! He was the emperor, and if he couldn't even understand a woman, he might as well not sit on the throne.
Li Dequan responded and left. Standing at the door, he decided to first go to Bumbutai to appease the Empress Dowager before going to see the princess.
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, but she didn't look well, probably because she was too tired and didn't get enough rest last night.
But as soon as Li Dequan arrived at Harigana's camp, he saw Dulan rushing out, her face covered in tears.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Li Dequan's heart skipped a beat. Could something really have happened? He wondered how the Emperor would react with such rage!
"Eunuch! Eunuch Li, Physician Zhao said he's a bit undecided and asked me to find a few other physicians to come and take the pulse together!"
Li Dequan's face also turned pale. He hadn't expected that his ancestor was really sick and wasn't faking it.
Even Physician Zhao couldn't make a diagnosis and didn't know what illness it was.
"You go back and take care of the princess first. I'll go get someone!"
After Li Dequan finished speaking, he turned around and jogged to find the imperial physicians. He summoned all the imperial physicians to Princess Harigana's tent and then went to report to Emperor Kangxi.
When Dulan saw that Li Dequan had already gone over, she hurriedly went back to serve Harigana and sent a guard to find Saenjiya and the others.
Kangxi and Senjiya arrived at the camp together. Baoli wanted to pay his respects, but Kangxi waved his hand and dismissed the formalities.
"The matter of Harigana is of utmost importance!" After saying that, he skillfully lifted the curtain and went inside before Baoliri and the others could say anything.
Seneca!!!
Baoli Day! ! !
They're still here!!!
"emperor!"
The people in the tent wanted to kneel down when they saw Kangxi. Even Harigana sat up from his bed and wanted to kneel down to pay his respects.
But Kangxi did not respond. He went directly to Harigana's side and pressed him back onto the bed: "Lie down!"
Harigana did not resist and lay back down following Kangxi's force. She really didn't want to move; she was dizzy and felt very uncomfortable.
Kangxi felt a little guilty, after all, he had just suspected that Harigana was faking illness, but he did not expect that he was really sick.
He said that he was an emperor, so how could Harigana not want to go back with him!
"How is the princess?"
Kangxi looked at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, took Harigana's delicate white hand in his own, and sat down by her bedside to ask her questions.
Li Dequan's lips twitched. "Your Majesty! She's still a princess, not one of your concubines. Is it really appropriate for you to hold her hand so openly?"
Harigana was somewhat uncomfortable with Kangxi's intimate contact with her in public. Although she would have to get used to it in the future, she hadn't mentally prepared herself and was already thinking of pulling her hand away.
But she really couldn't pull it out, and she didn't know what this man ate to grow up with such strength in his hands.
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Kangxi deliberately didn't want to let go of her hand. Although Harigana was currently ill and he couldn't have any romantic thoughts at this time, the little girl's hand was just too soft, and he couldn't bear to let go.
"without!"
Harigana's voice was very soft; if Emperor Kangxi hadn't been sitting so close, he probably wouldn't have heard it.
"emperor!"
The imperial physician couldn't bear to watch the two of them being so lovey-dovey. The one lying on the bed could barely sit up; if he didn't take his medicine soon, he'd probably have to go down to the underworld for treatment.
Although the imperial physician thought this way, he couldn't possibly say it out loud! He just pretended to be very anxious, hoping that Kangxi would take it seriously and not waste any more time!
"Speak! What happened to the princess?"
Emperor Kangxi snapped out of his reverie and looked at the kneeling imperial physician, asking, "Is it serious?"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess has been poisoned!"
Without any delay, Physician Zhao told Emperor Kangxi the results of their research, which immediately enraged the latter.
"Poisoning? Why would someone be poisoned? What kind of poison?"
Senjiya and the others were also very anxious, but the emperor was sitting by their daughter's bedside, so even if they wanted to go forward, they could not get close to the emperor's side. Therefore, they could only stand anxiously to the side, craning their necks to look at Harigana.
Harigana was the most bewildered. She had actually been poisoned? Who would want her dead? Who had she offended?
"Your Majesty, the princess has been poisoned by wolfsbane flowers!"
Not only were Senjiya and his group shocked, but even Emperor Kangxi was astonished. This wolfsbane flower is extremely rare on this grassland; how could they have been poisoned by it?
Most importantly, Harigana has definitely not gone out in the past two days; the farthest place he has gone is the bonfire site last night.
"Your Majesty, those poisoned by wolfsbane flowers first experience weakness, dizziness, nausea, and then unconsciousness. However, the princess likely only exhibited mild symptoms after touching the flower. If she had ingested it, she would already be..."
The imperial physician only said half of what he meant, but everyone present was not stupid and understood the implied meaning in his words.
Kangxi's face turned ashen as he looked at Li Dequan, who was standing to the side: "Investigate! Investigate for me!"
Everyone present was so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound. Harigana was also startled by Kangxi's voice, but fortunately he was lying down, and the emperor had just pressed him down himself, so he didn't have to get up.
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Li Dequan immediately went out to make arrangements, while Kangxi sat by the bedside holding Harigana's hand and waited.
"Get up!"
Kangxi looked at Saenjiya and the others, then called them over. These were Harigana's mother and daughter; they wouldn't poison their own daughter.
