Chapter 147 Dai Ling takes the throne
Kangxi was deeply moved by the prince's act of standing in front of him without hesitation to save his father. It can be said that the prince suffered an unexpected disaster this time. After all, the original purpose of this group of people was to assassinate him, the emperor.
The so-called White Lotus Saint and the incense master had actually been in his control for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that there was a conspiracy to frame the prince. You know, the original reason why Kangxi came to this remote room was that someone reported that the prince was promiscuous in the harem.
If you think about this reason carefully, it is clear that it is not tenable. Not to mention that the Crown Princess has just given birth to a child, this is also Xiao Qi's wedding banquet. Just the fact that the Crown Prince can only have one woman, the Crown Princess, in his life does not make the charge of debauchery in the harem valid.
But it was a good thing that those people only thought of this means of frame-up instead of other more radical methods, otherwise he was afraid that when he just came here, he would only receive the prince's body.
Now that the emperor has spoken, the matter is settled. We can just wait for the crown prince to wake up and then move back to Yuqing Palace.
Buerhe still respected Kangxi very much, just as Kangxi had always loved this daughter-in-law the most. When the Crown Prince was injured, the Crown Princess came to visit before she had even finished her confinement, and even wanted to take her home to take care of her personally. Kangxi was of course relieved. However, at the moment, Kangxi frowned slightly: "Imperial Physician, please take a look at the Crown Princess. She hasn't even finished her confinement yet."
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Physician and He Zhu, standing quietly by, suddenly remembered that according to the timeline, the Crown Princess hadn't even left her confinement yet, and she still had several days left. Qi'er was already waiting behind Buerhe. Her master hadn't left home for almost a month, and she had been worried about her long journey today. She had thought of sending Imperial Physician Zhang to see her when she returned to Yuqing Palace. Now that the Emperor had sent the Imperial Physician, she naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
The imperial physician asked Buerhe to sit down. He was not specialized in gynecology, but he was a Chinese medicine expert, so he could check if the Crown Princess had any minor illnesses.
After a while, the imperial physician withdrew his work. Yinreng, who was standing behind him, had already opened his eyes and was waiting. Seeing this, he asked, "How is the Crown Princess? Is there any problem?"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the bed and found that the prince had just woken up without anyone noticing. His voice was still a little hoarse. He Zhu hurried to pour a glass of water. Seeing this, Bu Erhe, who had already walked to the bedside, hurriedly took it and fed Yinreng who had been slightly helped up.
The prince drank several sips of water from Buerhe's hand before resting and continuing with his previous question: "Imperial Physician, I just took the pulse of the Crown Princess. How is her health? Is there any damage?"
The question was once again thrown to the old doctor who was already sitting in front of the Crown Prince and stretched out his hand to take his pulse. The old doctor now answered, "It's not a big problem. It's just that you are still a little weak in Qi and blood. However, this is a common problem for women after giving birth. This kind of problem requires long-term nourishment, and you won't see much effect in a short time. I will write a prescription for medicinal food later, and then have the servants prepare a meal of this kind for the Crown Princess every day. Slowly nourish her, and in about two months, there should be no major problems.
Of course, Your Highness can also eat this medicinal food. After all, you lost quite a bit of blood this time, so this is a good opportunity to replenish your blood."
After knowing that the Crown Princess was not in serious health, the people around her breathed a sigh of relief. It was already a foregone conclusion that the Crown Prince was injured in Yuqing Palace. If the Crown Princess also had health problems, the Emperor would blame himself even more.
The imperial physician quickly examined the wound and changed the dressing. Seeing the deep wound and the skin turned outward, Buerhe was heartbroken and tears welled up in his eyes. Yinreng took Buerhe's hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The imperial physician also said that as long as you take good care of yourself, there will only be a scar left in a few months. But with a wound this deep, I guess scar removal medicine will be useless. I hope the Crown Princess will not despise me when the time comes."
There were so many people in the room, and the prince suddenly said this, which made Buerhe's original distressed mood instantly turn into shyness and embarrassment. She took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and glared at Yinreng fiercely, which made Yinreng, who was originally just smiling, laugh happily.
As the saying goes, "Excessive joy brings sorrow." The prince's wound was still in his abdomen, and this smile made him gasp in pain. Seeing this, Buerhe hurried forward to support him, preventing him from moving any further. Even Kangxi was startled at this moment: "Baocheng, can you just stay and recover from your injuries? I'm worried about you like this. How about you come back to the Qianqing Palace with me?"
This was no joke. Upon hearing Kangxi's suggestion, Yinreng instantly became alert, realizing that this was another test, and quickly declined: "I was wrong to cause Your Majesty to worry. I have recovered now, and will return to Yuqing Palace with the Crown Princess to recuperate. Your Majesty was also frightened today, so you should also go back and rest."
Seeing that Yinreng was speaking with no compulsion, Kangxi finally nodded and left. He still had things to do. The so-called saint was still locked up in a dark cell waiting for him. If Yinreng's actions today hadn't touched his old father's heart, he wouldn't have come this time.
After instructing He Zhu to take good care of the prince and allocating 20% of his own share to Yuqing Palace for the prince's recuperation, Kangxi took the newly appointed personal eunuch Dai Ling out of the South Three Houses and returned to the Qianqing Palace.
On the way, Kangxi also thought of Liang Jiugong, who had previously blocked the knife for him: "How is Liang Jiugong? What did the imperial physician say?"
Dai Ling was Liang Jiugong's old rival. They were the top and second-in-command of the Qianqing Palace. Liang Jiugong usually kept a tight rein on Dai Ling, but this time, Liang Jiugong was seriously injured, and Dai Ling finally had a chance to step up.
Because he didn't know Kangxi's temperament very well, he could only answer honestly when he heard Kangxi's question: "The imperial physician said that the knife has been pulled out and the heart was not injured. It's a blessing. However, if you want to recover, it will take at least six months, and there will be some sequelae in the future, and you may be easily tired."
Kangxi had not expected Liang Jiugong to be so seriously injured. Upon hearing this, he instructed, "Then have the imperial physician treat him carefully. Go get two ginsengs from my private storehouse. Also, ask Wei Zhu if he's willing to take care of his master and come back to serve him after Liang Jiugong recovers."
Dai Ling didn't expect that the emperor would take such a fancy to Liang Jiugong, but when he thought of the instructions in the emperor's words, his eyes turned and he came up with an idea. He quickly bowed and said yes. After seeing Kangxi wave his hand and enter the Qianqing Palace, he hurried to the eunuch's room without stopping.
