The Fourth Master's Dog

Kangxi did not hear the baby's crying, his heart tightened and he stopped.

Although he doesn't like it, the child is already born, and he doesn't want anything unexpected to happen to him?

Kangxi hurried back, intending to take a look and calm himself down.

"Now that the Imperial Concubine has given birth, you are all tired after guarding all night, so go back and rest."

Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui exchanged glances, both with serious expressions on their faces.

Seeing that Kangxi was about to leave the door but then came back, you can see how greatly favored Concubine Tong was.

Imperial Noble Concubine Tong was already favored, and now that she had given birth to a prince, she became even more unscrupulous in the harem.

Kangxi came to the inner hall and watched Doctor Li taking the little prince's pulse. Seeing the little white ball, Kangxi couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.

This appearance reminded him of Crown Prince Yinreng when he was a child, very weak and fragile.

"Give it to me, I'll hug you."

Kangxi took the little prince in and listened to him crying softly in his arms, without any strength at all.

Kangxi's face looked very bad. He knew as soon as he touched the baby that this was not a healthy child.

"Doctor Li, what's wrong with my prince?"

Doctor Li was also quite old. He had just been busy stopping the bleeding of Imperial Concubine Tong and was already sweating from exhaustion.

When I took the little prince's pulse, my heart began to tremble even more.

This is another child born with a heart disease, exactly the same as the previous child born to the Imperial Concubine, except that his physique is better. If he is well taken care of, it will not be a problem for him to live to adulthood.

"Your Majesty, the little prince born to the Imperial Concubine was also born with a heart disease."

When Kangxi heard this, his body stiffened and he remembered the little princess that Imperial Concubine Tong gave birth to last time. He took a look and then left, staring at Imperial Doctor Li with an extremely grim expression.

"What did you say? He has a heart disease. How long can he live?"

Although Kangxi did not want Imperial Concubine Tong to give birth to a prince with Tonggiya blood, but now that the child was born, you told me that he would not survive, which made Kangxi even more uncomfortable.

Kangxi had already made plans. At worst, if the child was born, he would show less favor and protect the status of Crown Prince Yinreng.

He didn't expect that his cousin gave birth to another prince who died soon.

Kangxi held the little prince's hand tighter, and he felt the pain of losing many children in his early years again.

When Doctor Li saw that Kangxi had misunderstood what he meant, he hurried to explain.

"Although the little prince also suffers from heart disease, fortunately he was born at a full moon. As long as he is taken good care of, he can still be raised."

After saying this, Doctor Li wiped the sweat from his forehead before speaking haltingly about the next words.

"During this delivery, the Imperial Concubine almost... suffered a massive hemorrhage. Her body has completely... deteriorated. She is already... running out of energy."

In the Chengqian Palace, besides Kangxi, there were only two other masters left: the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

Kangxi looked at Doctor Li with fierce eyes, and his hands holding the little prince were shaking a little, so the nanny beside him quickly took over.

"Doctor Li, I don't care what method you use, the Imperial Concubine must not be in any danger."

Doctor Li wiped the sweat off his face, smiled bitterly and nodded.

The King of Hell wanted him to stay until the third watch, so how could he possibly stay until the fifth watch?

Although he also thought that his medical skills were good, he was not a god. The patient was already at the end of his rope and there was no way he could save him.

He can only take more nourishing care of himself and live a few more months. This is his best effort.

Of course, Doctor Li would not be so rash as to say this directly to Kangxi. That would mean he thought his life was not long enough, which would just allow Kangxi, who was in a gloomy mood, to drag him down and chop him off.

Naturally, he nodded hurriedly to express his attitude and promised to save the imperial concubine's life.

Kangxi took a deep look at the little prince in the cradle.

"Take good care of the little prince. If he can't survive, I don't think it's necessary to keep the people in Chengqian Palace."

He strode out of Chengqian Palace and walked towards the Yangxin Palace. Liang Jiugong followed Kangxi's steps closely behind, secretly groaning in his heart.

The days ahead will be difficult. I don’t know what’s going on recently, but His Majesty’s temper is becoming more and more difficult to understand.

Kangxi also had a gloomy face when he attended the morning court. The courtiers below looked at each other. Nothing major had happened inside or outside the palace recently.

Could it be that the Emperor knew about my little tricks?

All the ministers lowered their heads, and the quarrels of the past suddenly became quiet.

They were afraid that Kangxi would take action against one of them first and make an example of him to scare his colleagues.

----

Noble Concubine Tong did not wake up until noon, feeling exhausted. She opened her watery eyes and immediately looked around.

"Mammy, where is my little prince? Bring him to me quickly to see him."

When the wet nurse saw Imperial Noble Consort Tong lying on the bed and trying to struggle to get up, she hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"My queen, you can't move right now. The imperial physician said that you have to take good care of yourself. You have to stay at home for at least two months before you can recover."

"You are not alone now, so you can't be as willful as before. Little prince can't live without mother."

"You must take good care of yourself, live a long life, and accompany the little prince as he grows up."

The red marks at the corners of the wet nurse's eyes had not yet disappeared. When she heard what the imperial physician said, she cried bitterly several times.

She just couldn't understand why the Empress, who was so young, would become so exhausted after giving birth to a little prince?

God was so unfair to her mother.

Her mother thought about it for half her life and finally gave birth to a child of her own.

He's also a person with heart disease.

The imperial physician said that as long as it is taken good care of, it will definitely grow up.

Even the healthy and strong ones in the harem may not be able to be supported, let alone those with heart disease.

Imperial Concubine Tong held the little prince in her arms and couldn't stop looking at him.

This is her child.

Her child with the emperor's cousin.

He will definitely grow up surrounded by love and dote on everyone, and live a better life than the prince.

Imperial Concubine Tong gently kissed the little prince in her arms twice.

The wet nurse decided not to tell Imperial Concubine Tong that the little prince had a heart disease for the time being.

I will tell the Empress about this situation in detail after I am fully recovered from the confinement period and feel better.

Otherwise, if Imperial Concubine Tong knew the news, she would not be able to take good care of herself during the confinement period and might even cry every day.

The wet nurse decided not to allow that to happen, and she secretly asked the imperial physician.

Doctor Li was reluctant to tell the truth at first, but the wet nurse threatened, bribed, and begged him.

The imperial physician told the truth.

As long as she is taken good care of, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong can live a few more years.

If it is not taken care of properly, it may not survive for a year.

A year is a good idea, but it is possible that you cannot even make it through several months.

That depends on Imperial Noble Consort Tong herself.

When the wet nurse heard the news, she almost fainted. She was the one who had nursed the queen since she was a child.

She couldn't let the queen go like this, otherwise the little prince would not be able to survive in this harem full of tigers and wolves.
