Peng Yuxian looked at the Prime Minister, who was requesting him not to tell anyone about his condition.
"Why does the Prime Minister lie to everyone? If His Majesty finds out about it, then he will punish us both to the death," Peng Yuxian said.
"Physician Peng, I have always helped you. This is the first time I have asked for a favor from you," Kang Xi said, joining his hands. "I beg you not to tell His Majesty that nothing has happened to me," he requested.
Peng Yuxian could not ignore his request. Kang Xi had helped him on numerous occasions. Also, he was the one who helped him in his appointment as the Royal Physician of the palace.
"I will help the Prime Minister this time," Peng Yuxian said. Kang Xi was delighted to hear him and told him that this was the first and last time he asked for such a favor from him.
