Two children's cries rang out from the side hall, and the sound was very loud.
Not to mention Emperor Kangxi's anxiety, even Harigana inside the palace couldn't sit still.
She hurriedly got up, tidied her disheveled clothes, and ran out. When she reached the outer hall entrance, she saw servants kneeling on the ground and a father and son staring at each other. Without saying a word to either of them, she ran straight to the side hall.
"What happened?"
Upon entering the side hall, I saw Granny Hu and Granny Su each holding one child and comforting them.
"Your Majesty, the little prince and the little princess just fell asleep after nursing, and their blankets weren't wet, so they must have been frightened."
The children were crying loudly, and Harigana felt so sorry for them that he wished he could suffer in their place.
"Little Li, quickly summon the imperial physician!"
No sooner had Harigana finished speaking than he heard, "Jiaojiao, I've sent Li Dequan over."
It was Emperor Kangxi.
After Harigana ran to the side hall, he immediately followed.
He had just overheard what Granny Hu said, that the two children must have been frightened, probably because of Yinreng.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He was not only ashamed to face Harigana, but also heartbroken for his two younger children.
"Okay, thank you."
Harigana's distant words made him even more flustered, as if his tone made it seem as if the two of them were separated by a vast distance, just like they had been at the beginning.
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi only uttered two dry words. Harigana had no time for romance with him. He walked forward, looking left and right, extremely anxious.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived."
Li Dequan didn't dare to speak loudly at this moment, and led the imperial physician directly into the side hall.
The visitor was Zhao Rongxi again. He was used to handling emergencies, and this time he did not greet them. He simply took his medicine box and went to see the two children.
"emperor!"
After a short while, Zhao Rongxi withdrew his hand and knelt on the ground: "The two young masters have been frightened. After this servant has prepared a dose of herbal medicine, they will be fine after drinking it."
Harigana breathed a sigh of relief, but anger followed.
A two-month-old baby needs to take medicine, not because he's sick, but because he's frightened. How ridiculous it would be if word got out.
"Go ahead, brew the medicine yourself. I only trust you."
Harigana was the first to export. If there were a way, she wouldn't want to give her child medicine, but the crying was just too intense.
Suddenly, she thought of the phrase "a mother and child are of one heart," and instinctively hugged Beibei in her arms. After a while, her voice became softer, and the baby's crying also subsided.
"Your Majesty!"
Granny Hu was a little excited and immediately placed the baby she was holding in the other arm of Harigana.
"Alright, Your Majesty, all done."
Zhao Rongxi was also seeing such a miraculous scene for the first time. She hurriedly went up to take the pulses of the two children, and her tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed: "Your Highness, if the two young masters stop crying and fall asleep peacefully, they will not need to take that medicine."
Harigana nodded, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"Okay, you can wait outside."
Zhao Rongxi acknowledged and withdrew, then quietly found a corner to stay in, looking at the many servants in the courtyard.
It's the kind of corner where you can spot problems, but if you can't find the problem, you can still enjoy the gossip.
Kangxi walked over to them and felt heartbroken seeing the two children crying so hard their throats were hoarse.
Harigana, in particular, had tears streaming down her face. She was holding the child in both hands and couldn't wipe them away. He reached out to help her, but she dodged his hand.
"Your Majesty, you may go ahead and attend to your business. We will not cause any more trouble here."
Kangxi's heart clenched, and he felt a pang of bitterness all over his body, but he could only endure it himself.
"Alright, I'll take him to the Imperial Study."
Harigana didn't answer, focusing all his attention on coaxing the two children, humming an unknown tune that he had never heard before.
She didn't even glance at him until Kangxi left.
The baby was asleep, sleeping soundly. Harigana gently placed the baby in the cradle and made sure the baby wouldn't wake up before he could finally relax completely.
She shook her sore and numb hands, and Dulan and Hairi came over to massage them. It took a while for her to recover.
Sitting in the chair next to the cradle, Harigana felt that she had miscalculated one thing.
Normally, there wouldn't be any problem if she stayed in the Qianqing Palace, but now it's a special period, and Kangxi needs to mobilize many people.
She genuinely doesn't get involved in politics, but that doesn't mean others will believe it.
Now she is not alone, but a mother of two children. She not only has to consider the safety of all three of them, but also their reputation.
Therefore, she could no longer stay in the Qianqing Palace.
But she could no longer return to Qingxi Palace.
So, where else could she go in the entire palace?
"Dulan, come with me."
Harigana's eyes lit up, and he took Dulan to the study. He quickly wrote a letter: "Go to the Empress Dowager and come back after she has read it and received her answer."
Dulan took the letter, turned around and ran out, bumping into Li Dequan who was standing at the door.
"Hey, be careful not to fall."
Li Dequan helped the person up, only saying one sentence, which was followed by: "I know, I know, if you fall, it's my fault, humph!"
Dulan ran off as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Li Dequan completely bewildered: Well, this brat is taking her anger out on him again.
With a sigh, he knocked on the door of the small study. After receiving Harigana's permission, he immediately went in and said, "This servant greets the Imperial Noble Consort."
"Li Dequan, get up. What is it?"
Harigana was a little angry just now, and now he has a headache. He is sitting in a chair pressing his temples, looking exhausted.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor said you should take care of your health. He will return after he finishes dealing with the matters at the front."
Emperor Kangxi wanted to stay with him, but he also had to deal with Yinreng's matter, so he could only send Li Dequan to deliver the message.
"Okay, I understand. Go back and serve them."
Li Dequan felt anxious for the first time, but didn't know how to express it.
In the past, he would always send messages back with a note, but this time there wasn't even a single word, let alone a note.
"What? Is there something else?"
Seeing that Li Dequan hadn't left, Harigana lowered his hand from his head and asked.
"No, Your Highness, please take care of yourself. This servant will take his leave."
After Li Dequan left, Harigana called Chasu and Hairi and told them to pack their things and prepare to move.
