In the bedroom of the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng opened his eyes and saw Kangxi, with a tired face and unshaven beard, sitting by the bed and scolding the imperial physician.

"The prince has already drunk so much medicine, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

The familiar scene came back to his eyes again, and his eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

Doctor Hu, who was kneeling on the ground with a tired look on his face, was also full of confusion.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been suffering from acne for too long, so..."

As Doctor Hu spoke, he looked up at Yinreng, his mind quickly searching for the right words.

As a result, when she looked up, she saw Yinreng's eager and complicated gaze, and immediately exclaimed.

"His Royal Highness is awake."

Kangxi was startled by Doctor Hu's exclamation and was about to kick him, but when he heard that the prince had woken up, he immediately turned around and looked.

"Baocheng? Baocheng, you're really awake..."

Kangxi was so excited that he cried and snotted, and hugged Yinreng and cried loudly.

"Baocheng, the Emperor thought you would never wake up again. Baocheng... you scared the Emperor to death..."

Yinreng was held tightly in Kangxi's arms. He was also very excited. His small hands used all his strength to hug the man in front of him.

[Father Emperor...my son has truly returned.]

[In my previous life, I served as the Crown Prince for decades, but you deposed me twice. I truly harbor resentment and hatred. Therefore, in this life, I no longer wish to be the Crown Prince.]

"In this life, I just want to be an ordinary father and son with you. We will live together in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and when we grow old, we will retire to Changchun Garden together."

[No matter what happens in this life, your son will never be separated from you again. I don't want to die alone in Xian'an Palace anymore.]

Kangxi's body froze, and he looked at the baby in his arms in shock.

In the previous life, two were established and two were abolished? ?

Died in Xian'an Palace?

What does this mean?

His Baocheng... Is his Baocheng a nightmare?

Doctor Hu didn't know why the little prince was crying so sadly, he just thought that the illness had frightened the child.

Now, seeing that his throat could only make "ahhhh" sounds due to the continuous high fever, he couldn't help but advise: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness's throat has been irritated by the continuous high fever, so he can't make any sound for the time being. In this situation, it is best to avoid getting too excited."

Kangxi: (⊙o⊙)…

The prince still can't make a sound?

Who was that he heard talking just now?

Kangxi was completely confused.

He looked up and down at the little baby in his arms, as if he was looking for something.

[What is the Emperor looking for? ]

The familiar voice sounded again, and the direction of the voice was the little baby in his arms.

Kangxi looked down and saw the little baby blinking his big eyes and looking at him with confused curiosity.

"Why is the Emperor looking at me like that? Is it because I'm too ill this time and scared him? Humph, it's because the Tongjia clan is too ambitious and wants the Tongjia concubine to give birth to a son to replace me. That's why they secretly stuffed the smallpox patient's handkerchief into my nightgown."

This time, Kangxi no longer cared about the source of the sound. He was completely shocked by this information.

Could it be that Baocheng’s smallpox was caused by a joint effort of the Tongjia clan and the Tongjia concubine?

Kangxi was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Liang Jiugong, have you found any clues about the prince's smallpox?"

Liang Jiugong, who was silently wiping away tears at the tender scene between the father and son, was startled. He then reacted and said, "I have already ordered all the palace servants who served His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be imprisoned. However, one of the palace maids who made the bed committed suicide that night."

Hearing this, Yinreng's eyes were filled with anger.

[It was this maid who made the bed and accepted bribes from Hezhuo, the concubine of Tongjia, and stuffed a handkerchief into my nightgown.]

Kangxi frowned.

Hezhuo was the senior palace maid beside Concubine Tongjia.

It doesn't seem right to arrest and interrogate someone without any real evidence.

[By the way, Hezhuo gave the maid who made the bed a purse containing large banknotes. If we find that purse, we can prove that it was Concubine Tongjia who did it.]

Although Kangxi didn't know how a purse could prove that it was Concubine Tongjia who did it, now that he had received the news, he naturally had to investigate.

"Liang Jiugong, go to the bedroom of the palace maid who made the bed and search it carefully. Don't miss any corner."

Liang Jiugong understood the key immediately and left quickly after receiving the order.

In less than half a minute, Liang Jiugong walked in holding a light red purse.

"Your Majesty, I found this purse under the little palace maid's bed. Inside was a silver note worth one hundred taels."

Kangxi took the purse and his eyes suddenly darkened.

No wonder this purse can be proved to be the work of Concubine Tongjia. It turns out that the material used to sew the purse is the water-red Lingyun brocade awarded to Concubine Tongjia on New Year's Eve.

This material was a tribute from Jiangnan. Because the color was suitable for Concubine Tongjia, the only piece was given to her as a reward.

He remembered that two days ago, Concubine Tongjia came to visit Baocheng wearing this dress and pretended to cry for a while.

Now that I think about it, Tong Jia was not here to visit the sick, but to see if Baocheng was still alive.

The more Kangxi thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Liang Jiugong, send someone to arrest Hezhuo who is beside Concubine Tongjia and send him to the Ministry of Punishment." After saying that, he threw the purse to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong looked at the purse carefully for a moment, and his face suddenly changed.

"I'll go right away."

[How amazing! As soon as I thought of the little palace maid's purse, the Emperor sent people to search her bedroom.]

[As soon as I thought of Hezhuo, who was by the side of Concubine Tongjia, the Emperor sent people to interrogate Hezhuo. Could it be that after living a new life, I and the Emperor have already started to have a mutual understanding?]

Kangxi: We are of the same mind???

He suddenly looked at the little baby in his arms in shock.

Could it be that the voice he just heard was Baocheng’s inner voice?

Kangxi stared blankly at the little baby in his arms with complicated eyes and excited expression, and after a long time he shed tears of unknown meaning.

He doesn't care about his past life or his present life, as long as the baby in his arms is his guardian angel.

No matter what, he would never let Baocheng suffer even a little bit.

"Baocheng, no matter how much suffering you have endured in the past, from now on, I will never let you suffer even the slightest harm."
