Emperor Kangxi was discussing water conservancy matters in Yangzhou with Crown Prince Yinreng, Lin Qingse, who had recently become the emperor's confidant and a rising star in the court, and Yu Chenglong, the Grand Canal Commissioner.

Liang Jiugong dared not disturb the emperor's business, so he could only pace back and forth in front of the palace gate to signal that Kangxi had something to do.

Kangxi also noticed his actions. Liang Jiugong had followed him for so many years and knew his temperament best. Such a change of topic meant something was definitely wrong. He frowned slightly.

"You ministers should go back and discuss this matter carefully, and we will discuss it again tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two officials withdrew on their own.

Emperor Kangxi also favored the crown prince, allowing him to stand aside.

Xiao Li knelt before Emperor Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, the Fifteenth Princess's black hair has suddenly turned white. We summoned the imperial physician, who said that the princess's vitality is waning and she is showing signs of exhaustion, and she is unlikely to live much longer."

Although his voice trembled, Leonardo DiCaprio quickly and clearly explained his reasons.

Kangxi swayed for a moment. Although he had many children, the loss of any of them would still pain him. Yinreng also worriedly supported his father. He didn't have much affection for his fifteenth sister, only remembering that she was sickly. He never expected that she would be in such a state now.

"That child is only fourteen, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the Fifteenth Princess's palace."

Upon receiving the news, Consort Yi, who had registered Dunke under her name, looked anxiously at Qingyin, who appeared to be asleep and whose body was hidden by a brocade curtain. Her heart and eyes were filled with worry. This princess hadn't been properly cared for, and the Emperor...

"His Majesty has arrived—" With the eunuch's sharp announcement, Consort Yi had no choice but to tidy her appearance slightly and brace herself to greet Emperor Kangxi.

Consort Yi rose to pay her respects, but was immediately overtaken by Kangxi's back, which only intensified her anxiety.

"How is the princess?"

Physician He, who had been standing guard to the side, finally had a chance to use his skills and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the princess has just taken her medicine and is already lying down."

Kangxi's tense emotions eased slightly. He stepped forward and lifted the tent flap, only to freeze in place. Yinreng, who was following behind his father, also seemed speechless and stood there.
