If she was reluctant to part with the two children she had given birth to in Harigana before and considered leaving to keep the children, she no longer cares about the two younger ones.
Kangxi had other children, and she was called "Emperor Dama" by others. How could she possibly protect the child born to a lowly woman from the Borchijin tribe?
Zhao Rongxi regretted his words as soon as they were spoken. The Empress Dowager's pulse was pounding so hard after hearing them that she didn't know whether to call this woman who had served three emperors clever or stupid.
Let the imperial physicians take your pulse. I wonder if they can discern anything from the pulse?
Moreover, knowing that the Empress Dowager disliked the Imperial Noble Consort, she was surprised that the Empress Dowager was so ruthless that even the Emperor's descendants felt disgusted by her.
However, he doesn't need to say any of this. When he returns to the Imperial Hospital to write the medical records, he will definitely write it down carefully. He is accompanied by the Emperor's secret guards, and the Emperor will naturally find out then.
As for why he knew there were secret guards around him, it was the Emperor who summoned him to the Qianqing Palace and told him personally.
It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but rather that the Imperial Noble Consort was about to give birth, and the Emperor feared that someone might try to sabotage him. So, he was protecting both the Imperial Noble Consort and him.
"Your Majesty, you have been suffering from some heart problems lately. I will prescribe a medicine for you when I get back. You will feel better after taking a few doses."
Bumbutai waved him away, not wanting to say a word to Zhao Rongxi.
A brainless person is of little use.
"This servant takes his leave!"
When Zhao Rongxi left Cining Palace, his entire back was covered in sweat. He had just felt the Empress Dowager's pulse for a moment, and he felt that his life was about to end.
Back at the Imperial Medical Academy, he wrote a pulse diagnosis record and, when prescribing the medicine, doubled the amount of Coptis chinensis.
The Empress Dowager was indeed somewhat agitated, and it was a simmering anger within her. Regardless of whether he was the one to take her pulse next time, no one would suspect that he was seeking revenge.
When Bumbutai was drinking the herbal medicine, he frowned and couldn't help but vomit it all up after only two sips.
She became even angrier and summoned her personal imperial physician to take her pulse. The physician said the medicine was appropriate and advised her to bear with it, drink the medicine, and eat some candied fruit.
She was in a daze, and although she was supposed to stop taking the medicine after three days, she ended up taking it for a full seven days because of her strong temper.
On the eighth day, the Empress Dowager felt that everything she ate was bitter, and even felt that she herself had a bitter taste like medicine.
Because I was feeling unwell, I didn't have time to urge Agate to do anything.
This delay lasted until Harigana finished her confinement period, which coincided with the full-month celebration for the two imperial heirs and the promotion ceremony for the Imperial Noble Consort.
That morning, Harigana took a wonderful bath, changing the water twice before she felt alive again.
Looking at the stains in the first bucket of water, and thinking of Kangxi's occasional kisses and stickiness, I really wanted to show him just how much filth he had eaten.
But this is just a thought; if Emperor Kangxi were to actually see this, his face would probably turn green again.
"Beautiful Princess, you have recovered so well."
Dulan helped Harigana wipe his back, showering him with sweet words.
However, she wasn't exaggerating; she really did recover very well.
Especially after Zhao Rongxi said that the medicine was fine, she used it three times a day, and the skin on her stomach became as smooth as when she was a young woman.
"Little Dulan, you have such a sweet tongue."
Harigana tapped her nose, then stood up, dried himself off, and changed into clean nightgown.
She had already had experience when she was made a Noble Consort before, so she was mentally prepared. However, when the phoenix crown pressed down on her head, her neck tilted and she almost lost her balance.
"Xuan Ye!"
Harigana adjusted the phoenix crown on his head, told Dulan and the others to step back, and looked at the approaching man with some anxiety.
She knew that Kangxi didn't want to mistreat her, but this thing was a phoenix crown, which only the empress could wear. Even though she was an imperial concubine with a title, she couldn't break the rules.
No wonder this jerk stopped her from seeing the Imperial Noble Consort's court dress a few days ago; it turns out he was waiting for her here.
And this court necklace, isn't it made of Eastern pearls?
Was Kangxi trying to kill her?
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"
Kangxi walked behind Harigana and reached out to help her with her phoenix crown.
Harigana looked at the man who seemed completely unaffected and helplessly pointed to the top of his head.
"Xuan Ye, isn't that a dragon and a phoenix on it? Do you think it's appropriate?"
After saying that, he shook the beads in front of him again: "These are Eastern pearls, right?"
She thought that Kangxi would respond after she finished speaking, but he only nodded lightly.
"Jiaojiao, don't worry, since I've let you take care of her, there won't be any problems."
Harigana was somewhat helpless. This wasn't a matter of whether it was urgent or not; it was a matter of being beheaded. If things went wrong, even Baoliri and Saienjiya might not escape their fate.
"Jiaojiao, do you believe me?"
Kangxi looked solemn, and her heart was pounding, as if something was about to happen.
But since Kangxi had already said that, she had to believe it even if she didn't want to.
He wanted to nod, but his mind wouldn't obey him; he could only blink and look at Kangxi: "I believe you!"
That single word set Kangxi's heart ablaze.
He wanted to kiss her, but time was running out, so he had to hold back and ask for it later.
After instructing Dulan and Granny Hu, they went ahead to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to wait.
Dulan's hands are becoming more and more skillful. After her makeup and hair are finished, looking at the beautiful person in the mirror, she feels that she is much more dignified, whether it is because of the accessories or because her temperament has changed after having a child.
She was wearing long nail guards and wanted to wear platform shoes, but was stopped by Granny Hu.
"Granny Hu, you didn't wear it last time because you were pregnant. Is it inappropriate not to wear it this time?"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do; Harigana isn't so pretentious.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor said that you are an exception. Do whatever makes you comfortable and don't worry about anything else."
Since it was Kangxi who said it, she would listen. She had already brought the pearls; all she needed were shoes.
This time, it wasn't Granny Hu who was with her. She didn't trust anyone else to look after the two children, so she brought Hairi and Dulan. As for Chasu and Xiao Lizi, they went with Granny Hu and the others to protect the two younger ones.
She will be following Kangxi closely for a while, and she will be accompanied by secret guards. Moreover, Dulan will protect her.
Although there were supposedly bodyguards following Bao Bao and Bei Bei, they were still children who couldn't speak or walk, so it was safer for the people serving them to know some martial arts.
"Okay! Let's go then!"
Harigana took a deep breath and slowly got up with the help of Dulan and Hairi.
I knew it was heavy just by sitting down, but I only realized how heavy it really was when I stood up.
"Your Majesty, please bear with me. I just took a look. There are 108 pearls, 88 agates and jades, and a small pendant with gold and jade ornaments."
It would have been better if Granny Hu hadn't said anything; the more she said it, the more serious it seemed.
