Chapter 119 Coma
After Yinzhen left, Tong Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Zishang, who had just stepped aside, came forward and asked worriedly, "Are you planning to keep this a secret from the Fourth Prince?"
Tong Jia remained silent. She really didn't know how to confess the truth to Yinzhen, so she could only keep it a secret for one day at a time.
Tong Jia didn't want to talk about this matter, so she asked instead: "How is Xiao Ba today?"
"I've checked. The Eighth Prince has always been well-behaved and doesn't cry or make a fuss. The wet nurse has also been watching over the Eighth Prince. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Yes, I have always been confident in your work." Tong Jia looked at Zishang, "I know that I have a bad temper. Everyone says that I am not easy to get along with. Over the years, you have been by my side and have taken care of everything in Chengqian Palace for me. You have worked hard."
Zichang's eyes were completely red.
Tong Jia paused, then continued, "Wait for me... wait for me to die, then you can leave the palace. I've left you some silver. After you leave the palace, you can buy a house. If you are willing, you can find someone to marry. If not, I will write a letter to my father, and the Tong family will protect you for me."
Tong Jia clan is no longer called "Ben Gong".
"My queen..." Zichang burst into tears, "I won't leave. I will stay with you."
"Silly girl, what's so good about this palace?"
Tong Jia looked at the sunlight outside the window. She had spent her whole life in this palace and could hardly remember her past days in the Tong Mansion.
She stretched out her hand as if trying to grab something.
The next second, her hands dropped limply.
"My queen!"
The last thing she heard was Zichang's exclamation.
Tong Jia fell into a coma, the backbone of Chengqian Palace fell, and the entire palace was in panic.
It was Zishang who reacted immediately and ordered people to invite the imperial physician and Kangxi to come over. Zishang hesitated whether to call the Fourth Prince, but thinking of Tong Jia's wishes, she did not arrange for anyone to go.
"What? You said that the Imperial Concubine is now unconscious?" Kangxi stared at the little eunuch kneeling below with a sharp look.
"Your Majesty, yes." The kneeling eunuch was trembling.
He had just gone to the Qianqing Palace, but was told that the emperor was in the Yongshou Palace, so he rushed to the Yongshou Palace without stopping. Now he hasn't even caught his breath yet, and he was frightened by Kangxi's majesty. Yuying was about to cry when she saw this.
Kangxi did not say anything else. The young eunuch below became anxious and was about to kowtow and ask Kangxi to go to Chengqian Palace.
Yuying spoke up to stop him: "You should go back first. I believe Chengqian Palace is in need of manpower right now. The emperor will be here soon."
After hearing Yuying's words, the young eunuch glanced at Kangxi. Seeing that Kangxi did not seem to reprimand Yuying for interfering in other people's affairs, he quickly kowtowed to Yuying twice, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
After the young eunuch left, Yuying looked at Kangxi, who was still sitting still, and asked, "Your Majesty, isn't going to come over yet?"
Kangxi had just had an argument with Tong Jia, and then someone came from Chengqian Palace to say that the Imperial Concubine was in a coma. Kangxi didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
"Aying, do you think I should go?" Kangxi left the decision to Yuying.
Yuying didn't say anything, just looked at Kangxi. Wasn't her meaning obvious? Wasn't Kangxi asking this knowingly?
Kangxi understood what Yuying meant from her silence.
So, Kangxi finally stood up and walked out.
When he was about to leave the palace, he turned around and said, "Aying, please go with me. Hasn't Aying seen Yinsi for a long time?"
Yuying looked at the hand Kangxi extended and remained silent.
But Kangxi still stretched his hand forward, as if urging Yuying to hold it.
The two of them stepped into Chengqian Palace together.
Seeing the busyness of Chengqian Palace, it seemed that Tong Jia was really in a coma. Yuying sighed. Now that she was here, it would be inappropriate for her not to go and see the Imperial Concubine.
Tong Jia's bedroom was surrounded by imperial doctors in three layers, and there was one imperial doctor giving acupuncture to Tong Jia near the bed.
Seeing Kangxi and Yuying coming, everyone separated and went their separate ways.
Kangxi walked over and looked at Tong Jia who was lying unconscious on the bed, and countless thoughts surged in his mind.
Was he really too cruel to his cousin?
For Kangxi, although he had no romantic feelings for Tong Jia, she was his cousin after all, and blood ties could not be faked.
Because of this, he was relieved to leave the harem to Tong Jia for more than ten years. Although she could not be said to have done everything perfectly, she had worked hard over the past ten years.
Yuying couldn't bear to look at Tong Jia.
This woman who had always been arrogant all her life could not escape her fate.
The imperial physician who was performing the acupuncture put away the needle.
"Your Majesty, I have already given acupuncture to the Imperial Concubine. As for when she can wake up, it all depends on her."
At this point, Kangxi also knew that the Imperial Hospital had done its best. "I understand. You can go down now."
After everyone had left, Yuying finally had the chance to move closer.
Sensing someone approaching, Kangxi knew it was Yuying. He said, "Aying, don't you still have to go see Yinsi? Aying, go ahead. I'll wait here for my cousin to wake up."
"Then I'll go first." Yuying thought for a moment and finally spoke to comfort Kangxi: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad."
"I understand."
Yuying was about to turn around and leave.
"etc…"
It was Tong Jia who called out to Yuying.
Perhaps the acupuncture given by the imperial physician took effect, or perhaps she still couldn't let go of her child, Tong Jia's consciousness gradually regained.
Before she opened her eyes, she heard the conversation between two people beside the bed, and she immediately realized that it was Kangxi and Yuying.
When she heard that Yuying was about to leave, she quickly spoke up to stop her.
Yuying turned around in surprise and met Tong Jia's eyes. "Royal Concubine, are you calling me?"
Tong Jia nodded.
Yuying had no choice but to stay, confused.
"Your Majesty, please leave first. I want to talk to Concubine Jin alone for a while."
Since Tong Jia woke up, she seemed to be deliberately avoiding Kangxi and didn't even look at him. Even when she was talking to Kangxi, she only kept her eyes on Yuying.
At this moment, Kangxi naturally had to go along with Tong Jia, even though he didn't understand Tong Jia's purpose in wanting to be alone with Yuying.
Before Kangxi left, he shook Yuying's hand and said, "I'm just outside the door."
Tong Jia saw this scene and felt it was extremely irritating. She tried to hold it back but couldn't. She said to Kangxi with a sarcastic tone: "Why? Your Majesty, do you think that I can harm Concubine Jin in my current state?"
As soon as Tong Jia finished speaking, Kangxi frowned and looked unhappy.
He turned around as if he wanted to explain that he had never thought about it that way, but when he met Tong Jia's stubborn eyes, he finally held back.
He walked out of the hall in silence.
