Chapter 251: No Disfigurement
Chapter 251: No Disfigurement
"What's this?" Kangxi already felt sorry for Ji Nai, not to mention that he was beaten by the empress on the pretext of illness just to protect her own offspring. He was just trying his best to heal Ji Nai's injuries, which was not considered out of the ordinary for Kangxi.
"But, if the matter gets out of hand, won't everyone know that I'm disfigured?" Ji Nai leaned into Kangxi's arms and whined, "I don't want to be treated as a joke."
"This..." Kangxi hesitated a little. He didn't want people to talk about Ji Nai's scar.
Ji Nai continued, "Besides, my injury was not glorious, it would be bad if this matter got out."
Kangxi frowned and said, "You were injured while protecting Nara's child. How can it be dishonorable to protect the heir to the throne?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi realized that Ji Nai was talking about the queen. Indeed, the mother of a country attacked a pregnant concubine because she suspected that she had killed the legitimate son of the queen. If the news got out, the Aisin-Gioro family would lose all face.
"Okay, if the imperial doctors and medicines in the palace are of no use, I will go find a capable person among the people."
Ji Nai reminded her, "Even if you are in the palace, you have to be quiet. During this period of time, I have been framed by others. Hum, everyone is gloating over my misfortune. I have to recover quietly and make a big splash after I recover."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Ji Nai was happy now. She had originally thought that if Kangxi didn't come, she would have to go to the door to look for someone. The wound on her face was healed, and only in Kangxi's name would it not arouse suspicion, and she didn't have much time left.
Ji Nai's plan was very good. After the disfigurement was healed and he regained the grace of God, Changhua and the others would be born. Therefore, the disfigurement issue could not be delayed for too long and had to be resolved before August this year.
Holding the warm and soft beauty in his arms and feeling the relaxed and comfortable aura she exuded, Kangxi was also infected. He leaned lazily on the couch with his arms around Ji Nai, stroking her medicine from time to time.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too warm. Kangxi, who hadn't slept well for several days, felt sleepy. He thought, since there was nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, he might as well take a nap here.
Just as his eyelids closed, the palace door was pushed open with a bang. "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here. Are you okay?"
Liang Jiugong looked at the two people lying together on the couch with an anxious face, and his whole body stiffened instantly. He seemed to have misunderstood something. He would not disturb the Emperor's good deeds.
Liang Jiugong, who was about to cry but had no tears, felt the imperial physician Liu behind him. He was actually trying to squeeze himself into Liang Jiugong's shadow so that the emperor would ignore him.
Oh! Dreaming.
Liang Jiugong took a step to the left, revealing Imperial Physician Liu behind him.
Kangxi held his throbbing temple and looked at Liang Jiugong and Liu Yuyi with a gloomy face. No one would be in a good mood if they didn't sleep well for a few days and were finally about to fall asleep but were woken up by someone.
Ji Nai tugged at Kangxi's sleeve and said something good for Liang Jiugong, "Just now, His Majesty was anxious to summon the imperial physician to examine the wound on my face. Perhaps his tone was too anxious, which caused Eunuch Liang to misunderstand."
Liang Jiugong looked at Master Rong with gratitude, and then nodded frantically. That's right, the voice of His Majesty scared him. He didn't say anything, just a word to call the imperial physician. Did he really think that His Majesty or Master Rong was in trouble?
However, when Liang Jiugong recalled that when he hurriedly dragged the imperial physician into the main hall, it seemed that the servants of Zhongcui Palace were standing outside obediently, not looking anxious at all.
Liang Jiugong felt so regretful in his heart. Why was he so impulsive? He actually ignored so many unreasonable things.
Ji Nai pressed Kangxi's forehead and saw that his complexion had eased a lot. He then explained to Liang Jiugong and the imperial physician, "Your Majesty has not had a good rest in the past few days. He just fell asleep. He is not feeling well now. Let the imperial physician take a look."
This was clearly meant to ask Imperial Physician Liu to come and see Kangxi and resolve the awkward situation at the moment. In fact, it was also explaining to Liang Jiugong, "Don't look like you've been busted. Your Majesty and I didn't do anything. We were just sleeping."
Liang Jiugong heard the hidden meaning in the words and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he did not interrupt the Emperor's good deeds, so he thought that his life could be saved.
After Imperial Physician Liu examined Kangxi's pulse, he said a lot, but Ji Nai didn't understand. Kangxi, who knew medical knowledge, waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's enough, I understand."
Looking at Ji Nai who looked confused, Kangxi pinched her earlobe and said with a smile: "I am fine, I just didn't get enough rest recently, it's nothing serious."
"Oh." So, that's what Liu Yuyi said just now? Ji Nai thought expressionlessly that he thought Kangxi was in poor health.
She said, they had been given spiritual liquid every now and then, and Lian Chengrui's health had improved a lot, and he wouldn't get sick easily, so how could something happen to Kangxi.
Imperial Physician Liu lowered his head in embarrassment. He just wanted His Majesty to take care of his health, so he deliberately created a serious atmosphere to remind His Majesty.
"Okay, let Rongpin see it."
"Yes."
However, the result of Liu's diagnosis was not good. "Your Majesty, the scar on Concubine Rong's face is quite deep. I can only try my best to fade the scar, but if I want to completely remove the scar, I'm afraid..."
"You can take whatever you want from my private storehouse. I only have one request, that Rongpin's face be restored to its original state."
"Your Majesty, I obey your order." Liu, the imperial physician, agreed with a wry smile. In fact, he really wanted to tell the emperor that he couldn't do it, but the emperor had spoken the truth, and as a small imperial physician, he didn't dare to disobey the order.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you get any scars." Kangxi was worried that Ji Nai would be in a bad mood after hearing what Imperial Physician Liu said, so he solemnly promised.
"With Your Majesty here, I have no worries." Ji Nai smiled at Kangxi. Even though there was a horrible scar on her face, she was still stunningly beautiful.
Seeing this scene, Imperial Physician Liu sighed inwardly. With a face like this, it was no wonder that the Queen would use such heavy hands on her, and she hit her face with them. There was a nail mark right next to her eye.
After all the trouble, Kangxi saw that it was getting late, so he simply had dinner in Zhongcui Palace.
In fact, he wanted to stay overnight at Ji Nai's place, but Cheng Hu had just left and the wound on Ji Nai's face had not healed yet. If he stayed overnight at this time, even if he was not in the mood to do anything, outsiders would speculate about Ji Nai with the greatest malice.
After dinner, Kangxi remembered that he came to Zhongcui Palace today not only to visit Ji Nai, but also to attend to some important matters. He asked the servants around him to leave.
"Long live the Lord?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty, just give me instructions if you have anything to say. Why do we need to discuss this?" Ji Nai said to Kangxi in a neither soft nor hard way. Humph, who else could make Kangxi be so cautious except the one in Kunning Palace?
Kangxi touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect that before he said anything, Ji Nai already knew that he was going to talk about the Queen.
Kangxi had no choice but to explain from the beginning: "In fact, I was soft-hearted towards the Queen before, even if it was not because of her, but for Chenghu. I thought about what Chenghu would do if the Queen died. So, I wavered in my promise to you."
Ji Nai stood up and was about to leave, but Kangxi pulled him into his arms and said, "Listen to what I have to say."
"Humph!"
"But later, I regretted it. From the beginning, I shouldn't have indulged the Queen. If I let the Queen go lightly, it would only send the wrong signal to the people in the harem, and I could get away with killing the heir to the throne.
In the long run, my children will die in the harem's strife. So, before Chenghu got into trouble, I thought about taking drastic measures and directly deposing the queen, and I have already put it into action. "
Ji Nai's heart was in turmoil. Was Kangxi really going to depose the empress? This was not Kangxi's style at all. Based on what Ji Nai knew about Kangxi, he would not publicly deal with the empress. At most, he would let Hesheli die suddenly.
This... wait, Kangxi had already started taking action before Chenghu's death, so is Chenghu's death also related to this incident?
After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable. If Hesheli knew about this and then spread it to the palace and let the queen know, then would Chenghu's death still be an accident?
Although even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, she was almost dead, and giving up a child in exchange for her own life was not something that no one else would do. Besides, the queen was not incapable of giving birth.
