Beibei wanted to go find Kangxi and Harigana, but fortunately Li Dequan dissuaded her in time, and Sai Enjiya took her to play in a nearby place without disturbing them.
"Li Dequan, go and call Zhao Rongxi over."
Then, have Prince Kang, Prince Yu, and Mingzhu wait in the council tent.
The area around the imperial tent is heavily guarded; no one except myself is permitted to approach.
After the tents were set up, Kangxi carried Harigana down from the imperial carriage and into the imperial tent. After confirming that she would not wake up, he went to the door and gave instructions to Li Dequan.
Looking at Dulan standing to one side, he called her in.
"emperor."
Dulan was a little worried about Harigana. She hadn't heard why, but she had seen that Kangxi had carried Harigana down from the ground.
Now that he called her Zhao Rongxi again, she became even more worried.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she knelt on the ground, wanting to go inside and take a look, but afraid of causing trouble.
"Dulan, the Empress is currently in a deep sleep. You must take good care of her later."
I'm going out in a bit, so you must keep a close eye on her condition and call me immediately if there are any problems.
I will have Zhao Rongxi guard the door at all times, and absolutely no one other than me shall be allowed to approach.
Also, the Queen's condition may last for a few more days, so you must pay close attention to what she eats and drinks, understand?
The Empress trusts you the most; you must be extremely careful during this time.
Dulan nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will do her best to take good care of Her Majesty the Empress."
Kangxi did not say anything more and led Dulan behind the screen.
Sitting by the bed watching the girl sleeping peacefully, he gently untied her braids and loosened the sash of her outer robe before stopping, making sure she was comfortable.
"Your Majesty, Physician Zhao has arrived."
Li Dequan spoke very softly, afraid of disturbing Harigana.
Dulan received a signal from Kangxi and tiptoed out, returning shortly after with Zhao Rongxi.
Having gained experience, and with Li Dequan's special reminder, he went straight to the bedside to take the pulse after entering.
However, he didn't forget to drape a layer of gauze over Harigana's hands, in case the petty emperor caused him trouble later.
"How about it?"
After Zhao Rongxi withdrew his hand, Kangxi asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is very weak, as if she has been seriously ill."
It requires proper care and extra attention to diet.
"Please prescribe a dose of herbal medicine; drinking it for a few days will cure you."
Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, but the thought that he had suffered such an undeserved calamity because of him filled him with bitterness.
"Go down. Once the medicine is prescribed, start brewing it. Don't leave the imperial tent; wait outside."
Zhao Rongxi acknowledged and withdrew, his mind filled with doubts.
This empress is truly a remarkable person.
He was riding horses with the Emperor that morning, and from a distance, he looked to be in very good health.
Unexpectedly, he is now unconscious in the imperial tent, and his pulse is so weak that he looks like someone who has escaped death.
Despite his thoughts, he worked quickly, grabbing the prescription and turning around to start decocting the medicine.
"Dulan, guard well. If there are any problems, call me immediately."
This matter is of utmost importance. Others may remain silent, but it must be made clear to Prince Kang and others.
"Yes! This servant obeys."
Dulan waited until Kangxi came out of the screen before sitting down next to Harigana. Seeing that there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she quickly took a silk handkerchief to wipe it off for her.
Kangxi went out and looked at Xiao Lizi, who was guarding the door, and asked him to call Baoliri over as well.
Because the imperial tent was suddenly surrounded by layers of people, not only did the concubines dare not move around, but even the playful Yinti and others obediently wrote large characters in the Empress Dowager's tent to kill time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
As Kangxi entered, the people already waiting inside quickly paid their respects.
"Get up, everyone. Li Dequan, take a seat."
After settling the people inside, Li Dequan turned and left, also asking the surrounding guards to keep their distance.
Seeing Kangxi's somber expression, Prince Yu became somewhat anxious.
Before any questions could be asked, Li Dequan's greeting could be heard at the door. The curtain was lifted, and Bao Liri had arrived.
"emperor!"
Just as he was about to bow, Kangxi stepped forward and helped him up, saying, "We're family, no need for such formalities."
This left everyone present somewhat puzzled.
Although the Emperor values Harigana highly, he would never act this way in front of outsiders.
Baoliri's thoughts differed from theirs. He pondered for a moment and realized that something was wrong with Harigana.
"Your Majesty, is it Harigana?"
His voice trembled slightly. Habril had already gone mad, and if something went wrong with Harigana, he might go completely insane.
At that moment, his heart was only with his daughter; he had no regard for the proper etiquette between ruler and subject.
Kangxi helped the person sit down in a chair and briefly explained what had just happened, leaving everyone stunned.
Only Baoli asked, "Your Majesty, how is Harigana now?"
“Harigana is sleeping. Zhao Rongxi has also checked on him and said he needs to take some herbal medicine for a few days to get better.”
When Baoli heard that she needed to take herbal medicine, he sighed. He was the only one who truly cared for his daughter.
But since things have come to this, he can only hope that his daughter will suffer less.
And that damn Imperial Observatory actually said there was no divine retribution. If there was no divine retribution, would his daughter be in a coma?
"It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened."
Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't blame Kangxi. Not to mention that this matter had nothing to do with him, even if it did, what could they do?
Since the deed has already happened, instead of complaining, it's better to make the emperor feel guilty.
Harigana is very important to Kangxi now, and will be even more important after today.
"Don't worry, I will use the best medicine to help Harigana recover as soon as possible."
Seeing that Baoli Ri was only worried and did not complain, Kangxi felt even more guilty.
When speaking to him, even honorifics were used.
"Your Majesty, do not feel guilty. Harigana is the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, so she has the duties and responsibilities that she should fulfill."
If she doesn't dream about you, and you really do have a problem, she'll be even more concerned.
Despite his sadness and worry, Baoliri offered Kangxi a few words of comfort.
Prince Kang and Prince Yu, among others, already admired Baoli Ri, and now, hearing him say this, they admired him even more.
Nalan Mingzhu, in particular, already knew that Harigana was a very reasonable person, and after hearing Baoliri's words today, he respected Harigana even more.
"good."
By the time Harigana's herbal medicine was ready, the group had already learned most of what had happened.
"This matter must absolutely not be known to anyone else."
After Kangxi finished speaking, he left, leaving a few men sitting there.
It was impossible for Saenjiya to keep it a secret, and whether or not to inform the Empress Dowager was entirely up to Kangxi.
"Let's go, let's go take a look ahead first."
Prince Kang was the first to stand up, patted Baoliri on the shoulder, and said nothing.
But everything is left unsaid.
Nalan Mingzhu also stood up: "Your Majesty, I have also gone to carry out the matters assigned to me."
