Chapter 212 The Sharp-Tongued Zhao Rongxi



Kangxi laughed in exasperation. Judging from her expression, she was probably muttering to herself that he was a shallow person, and might even be thinking that if he weren't shallow, he wouldn't have taken her into the palace.

"Jiaojiao, shall I take a look?"

Harigana immediately shook his head, exerted force with his calves, and instantly scooted to the corner of the bed, looking at him warily.

"No, don't even think about it and feel sad!"

Kangxi had no choice but to stand up and try to pat her head, but she dodged it.

"Jiaojiao, I don't want to see it anymore, but this thing of yours needs to be examined by the imperial physicians. They said it can only be used if there's nothing wrong, what if there's any harm?"

Harigana wanted to say that her mother had used it herself, but in the end she just nodded.

Seeing Kangxi's worried expression, she quietly reached out and took his hand, stretched her neck, and placed his hand on her head.

"You can touch my hair!"

Seeing her adorable actions, Kangxi's heart melted.

"good!"

Li Dequan summoned Physician Zhao. Kangxi did not tell him what he did, but only asked if there was any harm. Then, another thing happened that would be unforgettable for Harigana for the rest of his life.

Zhao Rongxi actually used a stick to scoop out a little bit, and before she could say no, she put it directly into her mouth.

Kangxi's face turned green, but he couldn't say anything. He could only glare at Zhao Rongxi while holding his breath, and then look at Harigana with an unfriendly gaze.

'hehe

Harigana chuckled, "Who knew it would turn out like this?"

Zhao Rongxi dared not raise his head. It was a good thing that the emperor and empress were getting along so well, but he couldn't just watch the show.

"Your Majesty, this place is full of highly nourishing medicines, but there is one ingredient that I cannot identify. I need to go back and consult medical experts."

Kangxi's face turned even greener. What a quack doctor! Just drag him out and behead him.

Harigana didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Saiengiya was alive and well. If there was really any harm, how come she had given birth to three children and used it three times and was still alive?

But she dared not say these words.

Kangxi's expression is too cold right now; she'd better not confront him directly.

"Inspect it as soon as possible!"

Zhao Rongxi was about to say "I obey" when he was told, "You should read more medical books. You can't even taste the difference after eating it. You haven't read enough medical books."

Harigana covered her mouth, not daring to laugh; Doctor Zhao was suffering for her.

"Yes! Your servant obeys!"

Feeling wronged, Zhao Rongxi felt wronged, very wronged.

Even a legendary physician might not know about certain medicinal herbs, let alone someone who is just an ordinary imperial physician.

"Step back!"

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, and Physician Zhao hurriedly took his leave, leaving only the two people in the room.

He wanted to lecture her, but the little girl looked at him pitifully, showing no trace of the amusement she had shown earlier.

For a moment, the words stuck in my throat, unable to come out or come down.

"Xuan Ye, don't be angry!"

Harigana helped him catch his breath, gently touching his chest with her small hands to light a fire. After a while, the breath was gone, but the fire started to rise.

Kangxi quickly took her hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Jiaojiao, you're really trying to kill me."

As he walked back from Qingxi Palace, Imperial Physician Zhao muttered to himself, but when he reached the side, he was invited to Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager's men.

"This humble servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

Zhao Rongxi felt even more aggrieved.

He was just a royal physician, who would occasionally examine patients and save lives. The affairs of the harem and even the affairs of the court were none of his concern.

He had been serving that concubine in Qingxi Palace for a year, and even if he didn't say it clearly, he knew that this concubine and that concubine were not on good terms at all.

He was an imperial physician, the emperor's personal physician, and also the personal physician of the Imperial Noble Consort.

Let alone the concubines in the harem and the important officials of the court, even the Empress Dowager could not easily ask him to do anything.

Although there is no explicit rule, it is something everyone knows.

"Get up! Physician Zhao, I am feeling a little unwell, so I sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. I didn't expect them to bring you here instead."

Bumbutai leaned against the soft pillows, looking confident and showing no signs of discomfort.

Moreover, he had just left Qingxi Palace and reached the vicinity of the gate of Qianqing Palace. Why would she run towards Qianqing Palace instead of the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician at Cining Palace?

He knew that the Empress Dowager was just making excuses, and he couldn't point it out, so he lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Imperial Physician Zhao, how many years have you been an imperial physician in the palace?"

Zhao Rongxi's heart skipped a beat. He had been thinking about this for a long time; after all, he was the one who served the late emperor until his death.

"Your Majesty, I have been serving in the palace for thirty years."

Bumbutai's eyes were dark. Thirty years have passed so quickly!

"I remember when the late emperor passed away, it was you who took his pulse last."

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and then slammed it down on the tea table.

Zhao Rongxi knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face.

"Your Majesty, it is your servant!"

I don't know what the Empress Dowager is going to do, but more than 20 years have passed since this incident, and it is now the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign. Does she really want to use his poor medical skills as an excuse to kill him?

Looking at Zhao Rongxi kneeling on the ground, Bumbutai remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft laugh.

"I'm really getting old. I'd forgotten you were still kneeling there and started thinking about things from the past."

"Get up quickly and let me see; I haven't been able to sleep well lately."

Zhao Rongxi stepped forward to take the Empress Dowager's pulse, ignoring what she had just said.

Bumbutai's smile faded. She hadn't expected Zhao Rongxi to be so tactless and useless.

"Imperial Physician Zhao, I haven't seen the two princes that the Imperial Noble Consort gave birth to yet. I'm not feeling well, and I'm afraid I might pass on my illness to her. Although I'm worried about them, I dare not go over there."

Physician Zhao paused slightly, unable to figure out what she was planning or what she wanted him to do, so he decided to give a proper answer.

"In response to the Empress Dowager, the two princes are in good health, which must be due to the Empress Dowager's continued blessings."

Bumbutai almost cursed at him.
