Chapter 29 Sick
After the first snow falls, it will be almost the end of the year.
Yuying fell ill at this juncture. She was originally weak and careless. Although Qingtao was always by her side to take care of her, it was impossible for Qingtao to take care of everything. Moreover, she still had the idea that if she died like this, she might be able to travel back to the modern times.
Therefore, this act of walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms made him sick.
By the time Kangxi found out, Yuying had been ill for several days. As the year drew to a close, Kangxi became busier and busier. He had no time to visit the harem during this period, so naturally, no one was smart enough to report to him about the movements of a noble lady.
How did Kangxi know that Yuying was ill? Although Kangxi did not enter the harem, everyone in the harem could not help but miss him. In the past few days, soups and water were sent to the Qianqing Palace without interruption, but Kangxi did not see the things sent from the Changchun Palace. So Kangxi asked about it.
"Empress An never likes to have these things handed to her." Liang Jiugong bent down and lowered his head, answering hesitantly.
Kangxi was not happy, "I want to ask you where is Concubine Jin?"
Liang Jiugong knelt on the ground in fear, "Reply...Reply to the emperor, Concubine Jin has been ill for quite some time."
Upon hearing that Yuying was seriously ill, Kangxi's first thought was that the people in the harem were dissatisfied with Yuying's favor and took action. He quickly stood up from his seat and went to Changchun Palace. Before leaving, he passed by Liang Jiugong and kicked him, "Useless thing! Why didn't you tell me earlier that Concubine Jin was ill?"
Liang Jiugong felt aggrieved. Normally the Emperor was very busy with government affairs at this time and didn't like to be disturbed by matters in the harem. Why was it different when Concubine Jin fell ill?
When Kangxi arrived at Changchun Palace, it was Concubine An who came to greet him as usual. Kangxi was fed up with Concubine An's hypocrisy, so he waved his hand and asked Concubine An to leave, and led the people to Yuying's courtyard.
This was the first time Kangxi stepped into Yuying's yard.
The yard was not big, but it looked particularly empty in the bleak winter. Kangxi looked at it and suppressed his dissatisfaction.
The most important thing right now is the sick person in the house.
Kangxi stopped looking around and hurried into the house.
There was only Qingtao serving in the room. When she saw it was Kangxi, she quickly knelt down and saluted. Kangxi didn't say anything, but just waved his hand.
Kangxi took in the small hall and immediately saw the thin figure lying on the bed.
Kangxi's heart tightened and he walked to the bedside. Looking at the person who was apparently full of energy a few days ago but now lying on the bed with a pale face, he felt a little sad for no reason.
Yuying had just woken up and was quite surprised to see Kangxi suddenly appear.
"Why is the emperor here?" Yuying struggled to get up.
Kangxi was startled and quickly held her down, "My beloved concubine, please don't get up. Have a good rest."
Then he looked at Qing Tao who was standing beside him, "Why has your master been ill for so long and still not recovered? Where is the imperial physician?"
Kangxi suddenly asked, startling Qingtao, who quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician came the other day and told you that you have a cold, and prescribed medicine for you to take."
"Why isn't he getting better yet? Could it be that all the people in my Imperial Hospital are good-for-nothings?" Kangxi was unhappy. "Liang Jiugong, go to the Imperial Hospital and call Dr. Zhou!"
Doctor Zhou is the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Now he only treats the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Ordinary concubines are not qualified to ask him for favors.
Liang Jiugong retreated after hearing this.
Perhaps it was because she couldn't help but have wild thoughts during her illness. Yuying looked at the man in front of her who was worried about her. Kangxi's favor for her came out of nowhere, like a castle in the air, which made her feel uneasy all the time.
As if sensing Yuying's uneasiness, Kangxi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, my dear."
Yuying smiled at Kangxi.
For a while, no more sound came from the room, and everyone was waiting for the doctor to come.
Kangxi didn't hear Yuying's thoughts, perhaps she was really tired.
Not long after, Doctor Zhou came in breathlessly again. Before coming, seeing Liang Jiugong coming to the Imperial Hospital, he thought the emperor was not feeling well again. Unexpectedly, he walked further and further, and even reached the boundary of the West Six Palaces. He thought that one of the main ladies was not feeling well, and the emperor had pity on her, so he called him here. But when he walked into Changchun Palace and then to the back hall, he walked further and further away.
This is not where the queen lives.
When he walked into the room, he saw the emperor was there too. Before he could greet him, Kangxi interrupted him and said, "Come and see Concubine Jin!"
When I saw the young lady lying there, this was not the first time I had seen her. I had seen her once in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. In just a few days, I had seen this noble lady twice beside the emperor. Isn't she a "noble lady"?
He did not waste any time, covered Yuying's wrist with a handkerchief and began to check her pulse.
Yuying stared curiously at the old doctor, whose medical skills were highly recognized from his appearance. Not long after he took the patient's pulse, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
[I'm not really going to die, am I?]
[Then can I go home?]
Kangxi was also waiting for the diagnosis. Seeing that Doctor Zhou looked unwell, his heart began to tighten, but he suddenly heard these two sentences.
Kangxi's eyes became fierce, and Doctor Zhou, who was being stared at, felt like a thorn in his back.
Doctor Zhou stopped and was about to tell the diagnosis, but he saw Kangxi wink and then walked out first.
Doctor Zhou paused and had no choice but to follow him out.
[Isn't there something I can't listen to?]
When they reached the courtyard, Kangxi dismissed the other servants, leaving only Liang Jiugong behind. "Okay, now let's talk. How is Concubine Jin?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Doctor Zhou bent even lower before giving his diagnosis.
After hearing the result, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to follow Doctor Zhou to get medicine. He stood alone in the yard, thinking.
It was indeed a cold, but why couldn't it be cured? It was because her body was damaged. If she took good care of her body, it would be fine, but she didn't care and even liked it, so she couldn't get better from the cold.
Thinking about the news I just heard, can I go back if I die?
Want to die? That depends on whether he is willing to help you!
Now that you have come to this Qing Dynasty, just stay here well!
Kangxi turned around and walked back into the house.
Yuying was looking at the ceiling of the bed boredly. When she heard the noise, she turned her head and looked at Kangxi with sparkling eyes. She said with hidden expectation: "Your Majesty, is this concubine about to die?"
Kangxi's face darkened when he heard this. Was his Qing Dynasty really not worth reminiscing about?
Kangxi felt wronged, "My beloved concubine, how could you think so? Doctor Zhou is the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital, he will definitely be able to cure me!"
“Oh...oh really? That’s great. Hahaha..." Yuying laughed awkwardly.
After the medicine was boiled again from the Imperial Hospital, Qingtao brought it over and asked Yuying to drink it. During this time, Kangxi stayed with Yuying.
Yuying looked at the black medicine in front of her and the person who insisted on feeding her the medicine.
[Aren’t you so free?]
Kangxi scooped up a spoonful of medicine and handed it to Yuying's mouth, "My beloved, drink the medicine while it's hot."
Yuying was speechless. Yuying was silent.
[What the concubine said was exactly the same as what Dalang said when he drank the medicine.]
She asked tentatively, "How about I drink it myself?"
Kangxi's face darkened, and the banned books came out, "My beloved concubine, wouldn't you be happy to let me feed you?"
What could Yuying do? She could only drink the whole bowl of medicine, swallow by mouthful, suppressing the bitterness.
Of course, although she looked sweet on the outside, she was actually bitter on the inside, and she cursed Kangxi countless times in her heart.
Kangxi listened to the scolding, which became more and more powerful, but he was not angry. He just thought that Yuying was better off being more lively.
After feeding her the medicine, Yuying felt sleepy again. She had been forcing herself to be alert to deal with Kangxi, and now that she had taken the medicine, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Seeing Yuying trying so hard to stay awake was really pitiful, Kangxi stopped torturing her. He instructed the servants around her to take good care of her, and told Yuying that he would come to see her tomorrow, then turned and left the room.
Before leaving, he turned back and took a deep look at the person lying on the bed. Seeing that she seemed to be asleep, he paused and walked out.
How can I keep you?
