Chapter 65: The Truth of the Matter
Concubine Tong is very remorseful now, and her intestines are going to be repentant, but it is useless to regret it, it is too late.
It turned out that Kangxi still controlled himself at the last moment that night and did not have sex with Concubine Tong, but Concubine Tong was too excited and had a fetal gas, and in recent days, he has been unhappy and angry, so he started on the spot.
At that time, Kangxi was scared a lot, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the midwife and the doctor.
Tong Guifei's production process went smoothly, and soon gave birth to a little brother, the little brother was still crying loudly when he was born, Kangxi knew that he was also happy in his heart, and he didn't want to care about what Tong Guifei did just now, and even faintly had the idea of promoting Tong Guifei to the imperial concubine.
But I didn't expect Kangxi's joy to pass, and in less than a stick of incense, someone from the palace came out to report that the little brother had died, and then Kangxi's mood instantly fell from the sky to the bottom, thinking that the little brother was born and was obviously fine, why didn't it take a while for a while to be like this, Kangxi was puzzled and quickly sent to Imperial Doctor Sun.
Imperial Doctor Sun was well-informed, and after pricking the little brother's corpse with a silver needle a few times, he quickly came to the conclusion that it was because Concubine Tong Guifei used some bad drugs when she was pregnant, which caused the little brother to be born with poison in his body, so he died at birth.
Although Imperial Doctor Sun said vaguely, Kangxi still heard his voice, and suddenly remembered the abnormality of his body tonight, and decided that Concubine Tong Guifei used some drugs to help him by unscrupulous means for the sake of grace.
He has a different affection for Concubine Tong from her, where can he use drugs, let alone dare to completely ignore the safety of the little brother in his belly this time, which has caused such serious consequences.
For a while, Kangxi was extremely angry, no matter how hard Concubine Tong begged, she left Chengqian Palace without looking back.
As for Concubine Tong, now she washes her face with tears every day, and the lochia under her body has not stopped, as soon as she thinks of the cry she heard when the little brother was born, her heart is like a knife, if she had known earlier that the outcome of the matter was like this, she would definitely not do it again.
The main hall of Chengqian Palace echoed everywhere with the cry of Concubine Tong, and the minions who came and went all slowed down, and they didn't even dare to gasp.
Mama Meng E was also annoyed in her heart, it was a pity that such a good little brother died in vain, if the little brother could survive, maybe the Tong family would have another emperor.
However, the days in this palace are still long, and it is not a solution for the master to be just blindly sad.
In her opinion, it is not uncommon for a woman in this palace to have no children, let alone a child who has just been born, and has no feelings.
After staying in the palace for a long time, this kind of thing has long been strange, and when she saw this kind of thing when she was young, she would shed a few tears, but now she doesn't feel it at all.
Seeing that Concubine Tong was crying again, Mama Meng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Niangniang, you always cry like this, it's not good for your health, I think when Empress Xiaokangzhang was still Concubine Tong, she also had a formed baby boy, and she was as sad as your master at that time, but then she gave birth to the current emperor and became the queen, so everything is not decided, Niangniang, you must not blindly indulge in pain now." ”
Mama Meng'e's words really worked, after all, Concubine Tong had always taken her aunt as an example, and when she thought that her aunt had experienced this kind of pain before, Concubine Tong instantly felt that the pain in her heart had decreased a little.
"But Mama, as soon as Bengong remembered that it was Bengong who harmed his child, he blamed himself, if Bengong had known, he wouldn't..."
Mama Meng E pursed her lips and continued to say earnestly: "Niangniang, don't think about it, all the actions of Niangniang were correct at the beginning, this harem is full of dangers, Niangniang has to do that, as for the little brother... It can only be said that there is no fate with Niangniang for the time being. ”
Concubine Tong's eyelashes trembled, and tears slid down her cheeks, did she really have no other choice at the beginning?
Thinking of the child who died because of herself, Concubine Tong's heart felt like someone was tearing apart, "What Mama said, this palace understands, but this palace is really sad." ”
Concubine Tong's languishing appearance obviously displeased Mama Meng'e, and her tone was a little stiffer, "The days in the palace are still long, and the first thing that Niangniang should consider now should be how to regain the emperor's favor." ”
"Really?" Endless sadness appeared in Concubine Tong's eyes.
"Yes, don't forget, any action of Niangniang in the palace will affect the Tong family outside the palace, even if it is for the glory of the Tong family, Niangniang must regain her strength."
"The palace naturally knows what Mama said, but now the emperor doesn't listen to the palace's explanation at all, what should the palace do?
Concubine Tong shook her head, the tears in her eyes flowed out again, she didn't expect that one wrong step and one wrong step, her actions that night not only made her lose her little brother, but also lost the love of the emperor she valued the most.
"This..."
Mama Meng E frowned, of course she knew what was going on that night, first of all, using that kind of drug in the palace was already a violation of the palace rules, not to mention killing a little brother, the emperor would definitely not be able to pass this level in his heart, hey, this thing is really difficult to do.
"Can't even Mama have anything to do?"
Concubine Tong saw the hesitation on Mama Meng'e's face, and the hope that had just risen disappeared in an instant, and tears flowed again.
"Don't cry, and give the old slave a few days, and the old slave will definitely come up with the best solution for the mother."
Mama Meng has no choice but to appease Concubine Tong first, and then make another plan.
Since that night, Kangxi has never set foot in Chengqian Palace again, most of the other people in the palace don't know the inside story of the matter, Shu Wan only vaguely guessed the matter based on some gossip, but I didn't expect that Concubine Tong was really pregnant, this time it can be said that she was lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
However, Kangxi didn't speak, only announced that Concubine Tong's little brother died early, and Concubine Tong needed to recuperate in bed, in fact, to put it bluntly, this is a disguised grounding, as for how long the grounding will last, Kangxi did not explain.
However, it seems that Kangxi still has feelings for Concubine Tong, otherwise the punishment for Concubine Tong would not be so light.
Shu Wan didn't know or wanted to know the emotional entanglement between Kangxi and Concubine Tong, she only felt that she had solved the big trouble of Concubine Tong, and now her life was finally completely clean, so she returned to a comfortable state of eating and drinking.
However, Kangxi came to Youyou Pavilion if he had nothing to do, and every time he came, he would stare at her stomach for a long time, which made Shu Wan's heart furious, although she had tried many times before, but there was no way to use spiritual power to check the condition of the child in her belly, all about this child Shu Wan could only know from the doctor, and the doctor also said that the child was fine, so no matter how worried Shu Wan was, she could only try to relax herself.
When Kangxi came this day, Shu Wan saw a white-bearded old man behind her, dressed like a doctor, but it was another doctor who had been checking her pulse before, why did she change it now?
Seeing that Shu Wan had this worry on her face, Kangxi hurriedly explained: "Wan'er doesn't need to think about it, this is Imperial Doctor Sun, and his art is very superb, today I just asked him to come and ask you for peace pulse." ”
Physician? The imperial doctor is a professional doctor who diagnoses the emperor's pulse, and this time Kangxi even dispatched the imperial doctor, could it be that there is really something wrong with her current child, Shu Wan couldn't help but be more worried.
Imperial Doctor Sun touched the pulse, and asked Shu Wan about some daily habits, and then said: "The emperor can rest assured, the body of the jade concubine is fine. ”
"What about the children of Hongu? Is everything okay with that? ”
Imperial Doctor Sun touched his beard, "Don't worry, little brother, everything is fine." ”
Kangxi was obviously much more relaxed when he heard this, and said to Shu Wan with a smile: "I have already said that there is no problem. ”
"It's not that the emperor's face is serious, it's really scared the concubines."
Shu Wan patted her heart, for a moment just now, she really thought something was wrong.
Kangxi didn't stay long, and left with Imperial Doctor Sun after a while.
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi put on that serious expression that has not changed for thousands of years, "How about it, is there really no problem with the baby of the jade concubine?" ”
Imperial Doctor Sun looked embarrassed, he had practiced medicine for more than 50 years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a strange pulse, and he didn't know what to say for a while, "Back to the emperor, it's the ministers who are incompetent, and the ministers of the Jade Concubine Niangniang's pulse are really inexplicable." ”
Kangxi naturally knew Imperial Doctor Sun's ability, and all kinds of incurable diseases could be resolved in his hands, but this time there was a pulse that even he couldn't explain, "Why can't you explain it?" ”
"The jade concubine Niangniang has indeed been pregnant for nearly seven months, and it stands to reason that there should be a pulse of a little brother or a little princess by now, but the minister didn't feel it."
Imperial Doctor Sun shook his head, "Although the minister also suspected that the baby was stillborn in the belly of the jade concubine, but later the jade concubine said that she would often feel the fetal movement, so the minister guessed that it should be the special physique of the jade concubine, so there is no pulse of the little brother or the little princess, and everything can only be revealed on the day the jade concubine gives birth." ”
Kangxi thought about it, indeed, he had also felt the child in Shu Wan's belly many times recently, thinking that it must not be a stillbirth, maybe it was really as Imperial Doctor Sun said, Shu Wan's physique was too special.
He is really scared now, thinking that during the Chinese New Year last year, there were a total of five people in the palace who were pregnant, but less than half of this year has passed, and he has already lost two little brothers, Xiao Guo's is not only poisoned but also gave birth to a princess, not to mention the baby of the concubine...
Kangxi let out a long sigh, hoping that Shu Wan's baby could be born smoothly.
He has a little hope in his heart, after all, when Battle was born, the soldiers who fought in the south had achieved a great victory, and now the war is in a stalemate again, if the palace can have a healthy little brother, will there be a turnaround?
