The ladies in the palace drink ginseng soup all year round and nothing happens to them, but this one is different; she can't get any nourishment at all!
She may look delicate and frail, but she has a strong constitution! She's a daughter of the grasslands, she doesn't need daily conditioning!
Fortunately, he had his head down, so no one noticed his pain.
"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant obeys the decree!"
The imperial physicians behind him wanted to laugh, but with the Emperor present, they dared not utter a sound. However, once they returned to their duty tents, they all burst into laughter!
"If you laugh again, I'll go tell the Emperor that you also want to help me treat that person's body!"
Physician Zhao was furious. He was good at treating sick and weak people, but how could he treat someone who wasn't sick?
He was already incredibly distressed, and yet these people were still laughing at him. So he couldn't blame them for turning their backs on him. Wouldn't it be better if everyone died together?
The Taiyi Sect immediately stopped laughing and dared not mock Physician Zhao any longer.
What a joke! Although they are loyal to the emperor, almost every imperial physician has a concubine secretly supporting them. If something happens in the future, they will be in deep trouble.
"snort!"
Physician Zhao flicked his sleeves and sat down in his seat, then continued to frown and think about how to treat the patient.
In Harigana's tent, Kangxi waited for Li Dequan to fetch the wound medicine. He had noticed the area was red and swollen when he was washing Harigana earlier. If they were in the palace, he would have had a female physician examine Harigana.
But since they were on the grasslands and he hadn't brought a female doctor with him, he had to apply the medicine to Harigana himself.
"Your Majesty! The medicine has been retrieved! Do you need any assistance?"
Kangxi's face darkened instantly. What's wrong with them all?
"Get out!"
Li Dequan pursed his lips. He had only noticed a fingernail mark on the Emperor's neck and thought there might be one on his back as well, but who knew he would still be scolded!
"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant will leave immediately!"
Kangxi glared at Li Dequan, and only after he left did he take off his Harrigana trousers to apply medicine to her.
When Harigana later learned about this, he was so ashamed that he almost boiled himself alive.
Seeing that it was still early, Kangxi took his first nap ever. Holding the soft and delicate Harigana, the man who had worked all night soon began to breathe steadily.
"You bitch!!!"
The two of them slept extremely soundly, but Lady Tongjia, who had been keeping a close eye on Kangxi, had already gone mad. She hadn't expected the Emperor to go to Harigana's camp, and even to summon the imperial physician there early that morning.
She was an experienced woman herself, so how could she not know what that meant? She never expected that the first woman to serve the emperor on the grassland would be that slut from the Borchijin tribe!
"Your Majesty! You must take it easy. She's just a concubine, while you are a Noble Consort! We'll have plenty of ways to deal with her once we return to the palace. Why are you so angry? Be careful not to hurt yourself!"
Tongjia's wet nurse advised her to stop shouting and throwing things. They had brought very few spare items left, and if she threw them again, they would be out of supplies!
"Granny, I'm so heartbroken!" Tongjia threw herself into the wet nurse's arms and cried uncontrollably, which made the wet nurse feel heartbroken, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
She had been resting in her tent for the past few days because of heatstroke, and she never expected so many things to happen.
She's just a woman from a small Mongolian tribe. If she returned to the palace, the Tongjia clan could easily get rid of her! Why bother with all this trouble?
As the sun slowly rose, Emperor Kangxi had already changed into his dragon robe, the same one he had given to Harigana the day before.
"Your Majesty! We've found out!"
Just as Harigana regained consciousness, he heard a man's voice: "Speak!"
Her thoughts drifted back to her childhood. Last night, she transformed from a girl into a woman! And an emperor with numerous concubines!
But this emperor seemed quite fond of women, and kept working. In the end, she seemed to hear Kangxi say "this is the last time," and then she knew nothing more!
Harigana hadn't finished thinking about the whole thing when the strange man's voice rang out again: "Your Majesty, it was someone from Consort Tong's side, but that person has already left the grasslands, and this servant has already sent people to chase after him."
[Consort Tong? The Tongjia clan? She hadn't been granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort yet? Auntie, I completely forgot that the future Yongzheng Emperor would have been three or four years old at this time!]
"The Tongjia clan?"
Emperor Kangxi was incredulous. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but rather that he found the whole thing utterly absurd. Tongjia and Harigana had no grudge against each other, and had never even met; why would she poison her?
"Your Majesty! It was Consort Tong! Moreover, the Empress Dowager should have known about it. That person was able to slip away smoothly, and it was Wenduer's doing."
Harigana was completely drowsy. What were they saying? Was it even comprehensible to her? She was very thirsty and wanted to drink water. Should she pretend to be asleep, or should she make some noise?
"I understand! Anything else you've discovered?"
Emperor Kangxi was deeply shocked that the Empress Dowager would side with the Tongjia clan. She had previously prevented him from taking Harigana away, and then treated him that way yesterday. He never imagined that the person who wanted Harigana dead had actually had a part in her efforts.
"Consort Tong originally wanted to kill that person, but it is unknown what Consort Tong's maid said to the Empress Dowager, which is why the Empress Dowager helped her."
The Empress Dowager also knows about Your Majesty's medicinal treatment yesterday. When I investigated, I found that the Empress Dowager was reprimanding that woman. Wenduer is still involved in this matter, and he is responsible for cleaning up the mess.
As for how Princess Habur of the Borchijin tribe administered the drug, the matter is still under investigation. Without His Majesty's order, this servant dares not interrogate the princess. Please punish me, Your Majesty!
"You can leave now! There's no need to investigate this matter any further, but that person from the Tongjia clan must be caught, alive or dead!"
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
Emperor Kangxi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand spun very fast!
If Li Dequan were here, he would definitely be able to tell that Kangxi was angry. It wasn't his usual angry roar, but rather him secretly planning how to deal with those disobedient people.
"emperor!"
Harigana couldn't take it anymore; she was dying of thirst!
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi walked behind the screen and saw that the girl's complexion had eased considerably. He then stepped forward and picked her up.
"Jiaojiao, is anything bothering you?"
Harigana shook her head. Apart from feeling a slight chill beneath her, she had no other reaction, just a general feeling of weakness. If Kangxi hadn't been holding her, she definitely wouldn't have been able to sit up on her own!
