Chapter 316 Abort the child?
Chapter 316 Abort the child?
Fortunately, it was good news and nothing would happen to his head.
Then he found that after his voice fell, the entire Zhongcui Palace was terribly quiet. No, that's not right, why would it be such a reaction? Shouldn't His Majesty laugh a few times, then wave his hand and give many rewards?
If Imperial Physician Wu looked up at this moment, he would have discovered that Kangxi was looking at Concubine Rong with a ferocious expression on his face, his back teeth almost broken.
Kangxi squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Congratulations? Where does congratulation come from? It's only been a short time, and you don't want your body anymore. Even so, you still dare to tell me that everything is fine!"
Whenever Ji Nai had an accident during these two days, such as spraining his ankle or getting a fright, Kangxi dared not think about what would happen.
Ji Nai blinked her eyes innocently, "So, is it my fault? I shouldn't have gotten pregnant so soon?" Ji Nai looked at Kangxi accusingly. It was obviously this man who made her pregnant, yet he still blamed her.
Kangxi choked. Indeed, how could it be wrong for Ji Nai to be favored? She could not have foreseen that she would get pregnant again so soon. Should she blame herself for touching Ji Nai when she just came out of confinement, or blame herself for being so powerful and making Ji Nai pregnant again?
That’s not right. Is this what he’s angry about?
"Don't change the subject. What I mean is that you clearly started feeling unwell a few days ago, so why did you keep dragging your feet and not calling a doctor? If something happened in the past two days without your knowledge, you wouldn't have had time to cry."
Ji Nai shrank her neck and said, "I just didn't want to take the medicine. How could I know that I was pregnant?"
Did Kangxi also know about Ji Nai's problem? While feeling helpless, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so he turned around and pointed the finger at Imperial Doctor Wu.
"This is how you take care of Rongpin's health!"
Doctor Wu immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "I am terrified."
Ji Nai excused Doctor Wu, saying, "Doctor Wu has always been meticulous and has never made any mistakes. This time, it is probably because the baby is too young, so he failed to diagnose the problem when he checked the pulse last time."
Doctor Wu didn't dare to tell the truth at this time, so he could only follow Rongpin's words and said, "That's right, Rongpin has just come out of confinement, her pulse is weak, and because the pregnancy is not obvious, I didn't notice it last time."
In fact, Kangxi also knew that no matter how skilled a doctor was, it would be difficult for him to diagnose a pregnancy when the pregnancy was less than one month old. He was just venting his anger on her.
However, the imperial physician's words confirmed Kangxi's guess that Ji Nai's current physical condition was indeed not optimistic.
"Will this child be harmful to Rongpin's health?"
Hearing Kangxi's words, Doctor Wu's mouth twitched. It was the first time he heard the child's father ask this question. But on second thought, it was reasonable. After all, Rongpin's two babies were born too close to each other.
Doctor Wu explained dutifully, "Pregnancy and childbirth are not easy for mothers. Even the healthiest women will suffer some damage after giving birth. Frequent pregnancies are even more harmful to the body. The shorter the interval, the worse it is. After all, no matter how expensive the tonic is, it cannot instantly repair the body damaged by the last childbirth."
Of course, what Doctor Wu said was under normal circumstances, and Ji Nai was obviously not included.
Although Imperial Physician Wu was also amazed at Concubine Rong's speed of recovery and secretly wondered whether she had some miraculous medicine, out of caution, Imperial Physician Wu did not say much and even took the credit for it.
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between Ji Nai and Doctor Wu.
Ji Nai did not think of forcing or bribing the other party to let Doctor Wu keep secrets for him. Such a relationship was not reliable. Ji Nai just let the secrets between the two of them increase little by little. In this way, even if something unexpected happened in the future, Doctor Wu would not betray Ji Nai in order to save his own life.
Kangxi listened to Wu Taiyi's words and was silent for a long time. Then he asked, "Which one will cause less harm to Rongpin, keeping the child or aborting the child?"
"Long live the Lord!"
"Long live the Lord!"
This sentence startled everyone and made them shout out in unison.
But the master's affairs were not something that a servant could interfere in. Even though Liang Jiugong was sweating with anxiety, he did not dare to speak out to stop it. Liang Jiugong did not dare to speak, and the others were even less likely to speak. However, Ji Nai, one of the parties involved and the only one who was qualified to give advice, was in a daze.
Fortunately, Ji Nai quickly recovered from her complicated emotions. Her nose felt sore and her voice unconsciously started to cry. "If the Empress Dowager knew what you said, there would be no way for me to survive."
"Then don't let her know." Kangxi was absolutely confident about this. As long as he didn't allow it, no servant present dared to say anything.
Kangxi embraced Ji Nai and looked at her belly with a struggling expression, but he still said in the end: "If this child is not good for you, then we don't want it. We already have Chengrui, Saiyinchahun and Rongxian. At worst, we can have another one after you recover."
Ji Nai's eyes were red. After hearing what Kangxi said, she covered her stomach tightly and said, "Your Majesty, if the child hears you saying this, he will be sad."
Kangxi could see what Ji Nai meant. She wanted to keep the child, so he continued to persuade her, "Even if I am sorry for him, for the sake of me and Chengrui, nothing can happen to you."
Ji Nai didn't want to hear Kangxi say such things again, otherwise she was worried that she would be soft-hearted and tell him her secret. "Your Majesty, do you still remember my first child?"
Kangxi was stunned, not understanding why Ji Nai mentioned Chengrui at this time, but then he thought of what happened at the New Year's Eve banquet that year. The panic and helplessness he felt at that time became clear as Ji Nai spoke.
"At that time, I was infected with Huipin at the same time. Huipin lost her first child. Although I was lucky enough to save Chengrui, it was really painful. I could even clearly feel the child slowly passing away in my belly. I don't want to experience that feeling again."
"But Ji Nai..." Facing Ji Nai's painful and pleading eyes, Kangxi could no longer speak. How could he not be heartbroken? However, an unborn child was naturally not as important as Ji Nai.
"Imperial Physician Wu didn't say that it's not suitable for me to keep this child." Seeing that Kangxi was unwilling to give in, Ji Nai brought up Imperial Physician Wu.
Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Doctor Wu just wanted to die.
In the current situation, what should he say and what can he say.
Not to mention that Rongpin wanted to keep the child. If the Empress Dowager knew about this, would he still be alive? Even His Majesty himself would regret it and hate him.
