In the quiet palace late at night, the news that Kangxi returned to the palace with a woman in his arms was like water falling into a frying pan, and the atmosphere became completely boiling.

The candles that had been extinguished in the palaces were relit. Many concubines were awakened from their sleep and hurriedly sent people to find out what was going on.

At this moment, I feel like I'm in a dream.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Yi grabbed the bed curtain in disbelief: "Did His Majesty really bring a woman from outside the palace back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?!"

Cheng Lan nodded with an unpleasant expression: "Master, it is absolutely true."

Concubine Yi's eyes blurred, but she still couldn't believe it. His Majesty had only been out of the palace for two days, but he already brought a woman back with him, and did it in such a fuss. He was not afraid of being discovered at all. It was obvious that His Majesty had no intention of hiding this from anyone.

"Tell me, what did you find out?" Concubine Yi saw the hesitation on her face in a trance and spoke with difficulty.

Cheng Lan said directly: "I heard that the emperor was assassinated outside, and the woman saved him, but she was also seriously injured. The emperor brought her back to the palace to find the imperial physician for treatment."

After hearing this, Concubine Yi still felt that something was wrong. Even if she had the title of savior, she could have been arranged to live somewhere else. How could she be carried back to his bedroom by the Emperor? Moreover, men and women should not have physical contact. After the Emperor had done this to her, it was even more impossible for him to let her leave the palace!

Concubine Yi looked unpredictable: "Go and find out who that woman is."

At this moment, Concubine Yi did not think that this woman was married.

She thought of something and continued to ask: "Is Your Majesty injured?"

Cheng Lan hesitated and shook her head: "Well, there is no news outside, so it should be fine."

Concubine Yi stood up and said, "Please help me dress up. If His Majesty is in danger, I will go and take care of him no matter what."

This time, maybe I can find out who that woman is and what her identity is.

Yonghe Palace

Concubine De was sitting on the couch, thinking about this question. She asked her personal maid Fang Lu: "Has anyone seen what that woman looks like?"

Fang Lu shook her head: "Master, it's too dark, and the Emperor is holding me, so no one dares to look up."

A trace of deep thought flashed across Concubine De's eyes: "Are there any movements in other palaces?"

Fang Lu thought for a moment and said, "It seems like there is some movement from Concubine Yi in the Yikun Palace."

Concubine De's eyes deepened slightly, probably knowing Concubine Yi's plan, and raised her hand:

"Change."

Qianqing Palace

Doctor Zhang was checking Sheng Huan's pulse again. He was very well-behaved and didn't dare to look at the person on the dragon bed, not to mention that there was an emperor holding someone and looking depressed next to him.

Kangxi was almost going crazy at this moment. He never expected that on the way back to the palace, the woman would start to have a low fever, and she was shivering with cold, and her face turned even paler.

"Your Majesty, the medicine is here."

Liang Jiugong came in from outside, his voice lowered a little.

"Zhang Xing, you watch first." Kangxi did not answer, but looked at Doctor Zhang.

The woman was ill, but pregnant, and many medicines were contraindicated, which made Kangxi feel even more distressed. She didn't have to suffer this pain. If it weren't for him, the man's hands couldn't help shaking...

Doctor Zhang had no idea what Kangxi was thinking at the moment. He took the medicine, smelled it, poured out a little and tasted it, then finally bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the medicine."

Kangxi didn't say anything, but reached out and fed Sheng Huan.

However, after feeding a little, the sleeping person seemed to find the medicine bitter, frowned, and tried to spit out the medicine.

Kangxi quickly took a handkerchief and wiped it, his voice softened: "Be good, drink the medicine and you will be fine."

She seemed to be able to feel his thoughtfulness, and finally she drank the medicine with reluctance, but her brows were furrowed even more.

Kangxi felt distressed when he saw her fragile appearance. Normally, women had a very calm expression and would not easily show much emotion. Yet, she was tortured by illness in her coma. He reached out and touched her eyebrows, slowly smoothing them out.

It would be better to stay in the palace in the future, he thought.

At this moment, a young eunuch came in from outside the door. Kangxi did not notice him, but Liang Jiugong noticed him at a glance. Seeing the young eunuch's embarrassed and anxious expression, he walked over quietly and lowered his voice.

"What's going on? How did you get in?"

The young eunuch said with a bitter face: "Eunuch, the Imperial Concubine and other ladies are here and are waiting outside to see you. They say they are worried about your Majesty."

Liang Jiugong's face fell instantly, but he was not surprised. He had been prepared before the Emperor blocked the news. But at this moment, he looked up at the Emperor who was lying beside the bed.

His Majesty has no time to deal with them at the moment.

He thought so in his heart, but did not show it on his face: "It's okay, I will go and ask His Majesty."

The young eunuch instantly showed a look of gratitude. When His Majesty first came in, the atmosphere was so depressing that he didn't dare to get close at all, for fear of making some mistake.

Liang Jiugong ignored the young eunuch and slowly approached Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort and the others are here."

As Liang Jiugong expected, Kangxi said without even raising his head: "No."

Liang Jiugong hesitated: "The ladies said they were worried about you."

Kangxi said directly: "Let them go back."

The news released said that he was not injured, so why come to see him? He looked at the sick person and thought that he came to ask about her.

He touched the woman's fair cheek. He wanted her to enter the palace, but he never thought of asking her to give up her original identity.

She didn't want to do that in the first place. If she was asked to give up her original identity and name and give up Yue Xing'a, with her loving motherly love for Yue Xing'a, it would undoubtedly be a heart-wrenching pain for Yue Xing'a not to recognize her. I'm afraid she would be even less willing to do that.

So, now he needs a reason.

Liang Jiugong bowed and walked out.

……

Outside the temple

The Imperial Concubine and her entourage met each other on the road, and everyone knew what the other was here to do.

Concubine Hui wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, which was not sweaty at all, and looked at the Imperial Concubine: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, do you know who saved the emperor?"

She pretended to be indifferent, but her eyes revealed envy and jealousy: "Your Majesty brought him into the bedroom to see his injuries. I think his injuries are very serious. Your Majesty also takes it very seriously."

The Imperial Concubine naturally didn't know who it was. She and the other concubines received the news almost at the same time. She was also secretly pondering in her heart. Upon hearing this, she said: "How would I know this? But since it's to save the emperor, His Majesty can do whatever he wants."

She answered flawlessly.

Concubine De glanced at the Imperial Concubine inconspicuously and saw that her complexion did not seem to be as good as during the day and she looked a little haggard. She thought of something and her heart was slightly moved.

Several other concubines were paying attention to the Royal Concubine's answer. Although they didn't get an answer, they were not surprised. They withdrew their gaze and stared at the closed door.

It wasn't until they saw Liang Jiugong come out that their eyes lit up.

Liang Jiugong walked over quickly, his eyes swept over the ladies calmly, and he immediately found that many of them were dressed very exquisitely. He quickly lowered his eyes and pretended not to know:

"Hello, Imperial Concubine, Hello, ladies. The situation inside is urgent, and Your Majesty is not convenient to see anyone right now."

"Ladies, please go back."

The concubines present were somewhat disappointed when they heard this. Such concern and the opportunity to show up in front of His Majesty were gone just like that.

The Imperial Concubine was not disappointed. She stepped forward with a worried look on her face: "Eunuch Liang, how is the Emperor? Is he injured?"

Liang Jiugong said: "Replying to the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor is fine, but the man is seriously injured."

"Who?" Everyone present had their eyes flickering. Concubine De asked softly, "Who is the girl who saved the emperor?"
