Chapter 1060 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (97)
Five days later.
Emperor Kangxi finally woke up.
The Empress Dowager was relieved.
The previous dynasty was relieved.
The harem was relieved.
When Kangxi woke up, it was as if he had been attacked by eighteen burly men...
This matter cannot be discussed.
In short, he was lying there looking like he was living a life worse than death.
Seeing him like this, Li Simo suspected that he was faking it.
After all, if he didn't pretend to be dying, he wouldn't be able to.
I'm sure those old princes from the royal family will come knocking on his door and berate him.
He wanted to put on an act, and Li Siqi followed suit.
Because she wasn't in the mood to play this familiar game with Kangxi.
He was afraid that he might lose his temper and slap Emperor Kangxi.
This makes it a bit difficult to explain to others.
So when getting up, he deliberately stumbled.
"Mom, be careful!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Anran and Anxin, who were standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and helped the person who was about to fall.
Emperor Kangxi also cast an inquiring glance his way, "My beloved concubine, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, I am fine."
Li Siqi rubbed her forehead. "My head is a little heavy, but I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
"Her Majesty has not had a proper rest."
Anxin looked worried. "This servant will go and fetch a royal physician for Your Highness."
"Go and call the imperial physician."
Kangxi saw that she was pale and looked listless.
He immediately gave the order, "Summon the imperial physician to examine the Imperial Concubine."
"Your Majesty, I am alright!"
"Look at you, do you think it's alright?"
"It's nothing, I'm used to it!"
Li Siqi gently shook her head, "Your Majesty, I hope you take care of yourself and wait for those princes who went out to play to return."
"Running out to play?"
Emperor Kangxi was stunned upon hearing this, seemingly never having considered that the missing person had gone out to play.
"If they don't play, what else can they do?"
Li Siqi smiled gently, "I often dream that Xiao Ba and the others have gone out to play."
They even told me they would come back.
"I believe that Eighth Prince, and the other princes, will also return."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Kangxi opened his mouth, but then hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Just then, the imperial physician was dragged up.
Finally, the deadlock was broken.
After careful examination and diagnosis by the imperial physician.
The final diagnosis was: excessive thinking, spleen deficiency and disorder, anxiety and restlessness.
And we must not hear any more bad news.
Try not to upset her.
She needs to rest and recuperate properly; it's best not to disturb her peace and quiet.
When Emperor Kangxi learned of this, he quickly arranged for her to return to Changchun Palace.
Even if he were the most inhumane person, he would never let a patient take care of him.
So Li Siqi returned to Changchun Palace to recuperate.
As for Consort Cheng, she had already fainted from crying.
She, who only has one son, cannot bear the pain of losing him.
Every day is filled with nothing but tears; it seems like there's no hope for life.
Compared to Consort Cheng's suffering.
Consort Yi was quite calm despite her grief.
Because she knew that the Eighth Prince was missing.
Seeing Consort Liang's reaction, she guessed that the other party must know something.
If I hadn't just happened to hear the news that she needed to recuperate.
They wanted to visit the other party immediately.
No matter how worried they are.
It seems that nothing can be changed.
The Empress Dowager's health was also deteriorating.
Especially with the successive disappearances of the emperors, she was finding it hard to bear.
Who is it?
The Empress Dowager muttered to herself, "Who plotted against our imperial prince?"
Why can't we catch them?
The eldest prince and the crown prince have been missing for almost ten years.
Why haven't the people the emperor sent out found them yet?
I cannot die, for I have not seen my sons return.
"Even if I die, I will not be able to face my mother and the others."
"Queen Mother!"
Granny Bunni looked distressed. "The princes will definitely come back."
Just as Consort Liang said, these princes must have gone out for a trip on purpose.
They'll definitely return to the capital when they're tired of playing.
"It would be nice if it were that way."
The Empress Dowager feigned a smile while crying, "When they return, I will definitely punish them."
I will certainly not let these little bastards get away with this.
This is absolutely outrageous.
"Alright, Your Majesty, you should give them a good beating then."
Granny Bunni coaxed him, "We'll not only punish them, but we'll also bring their wives and the young princes from their respective households into the palace."
Let's all watch them be punished with the cane, okay?
"Yes, yes, that's what we'll do!"
The Empress Dowager finally smiled, "Then they'll all be humiliated and won't be able to go out in public anymore."
"This servant also thinks this is a good idea."
"No matter who comes to plead for us, we should ignore them."
"Yes, don't let anyone plead for them!"
……
The master and servant talked for a while.
The Empress Dowager finally couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Granny Bunni secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he also showed a helpless expression.
The imperial princes kept disappearing.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager's concern, even she, as a mere servant, couldn't help but worry.
Although the emperor had many sons, he couldn't withstand this game of disappearing one after another.
Most importantly, even the Emperor doesn't know where all the princes have gone.
They had no idea who could act under the emperor's very nose.
Moreover, it can do so without leaving any clues.
Yongshou Palace.
"You suspect that Consort Liang knows the truth?"
Consort Wenxi looked surprised. "Impossible."
If she knew the truth, there was no reason not to tell the Emperor.
Or what evidence do you have?
"I have no evidence!"
Consort Yi wept bitterly, “If you want to talk about evidence, it’s my intuition.”
I have a feeling that Consort Liang must know something.
"Aren't you just being ridiculous?"
Consort Wenxi was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, "Don't talk nonsense, Consort Liang's illness is quite serious."
Moreover, it cannot be stimulated and needs proper care and rest.
If she knew the truth, she wouldn't have made herself sick.
"I still trust my intuition."
Consort Yi insisted on her own feelings, "Sister Imperial Noble Consort, you should also know that Consort Liang is not quite the same as us."
She had no reason not to know.
"If I say my sister is talking nonsense, then she is talking nonsense."
Consort Wenxi was both amused and exasperated. "If that's really the case, I don't believe His Majesty wouldn't discover anything."
The Emperor should understand Consort Liang better than you or I do.
If Consort Liang has a problem, do you think the Emperor will let her off the hook?
They probably already uncovered the truth.
Moreover.
What was Consort Liang's purpose in doing this?
You know she's not an ambitious person.
It's impossible for them to do something like confiscating property and exterminating nine generations of their family.
"This, this is true."
Consort Yi suppressed her doubts and accepted what Consort Wenxi had said.
After all, Consort Yi was well aware of how powerful Emperor Kangxi was.
They also knew that if Consort Liang had any problems, the emperor would definitely know.
"You don't need to overthink it."
Consort Wenxi couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort, "Of all the princes who have gone missing, only the Fifth Prince has been found guilty."
The disappearance of six princes is clearly no small matter.
The fact that so many princes went missing one after another further suggests that they are probably still alive.
