During Kangxi's serious illness, the Crown Prince enjoyed the privilege of being the head of the household, a feeling that was truly addictive.

He said that no one else would say anything, and even the mortal enemy would submit to his feet.

When the Crown Prince heard the imperial physician say that Kangxi's condition was not optimistic, he couldn't help but feel a moment of joy, but then he couldn't help but despise himself.

Emperor Kangxi's condition had indeed worsened.

On the other side, Su Peisheng came over and said, "Master, the Golden Rooster Frost in the capital city that you asked us to find is no longer available, but the people in the church said that some will be sent over from Guangzhou in about two days."

Yinzhen was taken aback upon hearing this; he hadn't expected that there would be no Golden Rooster Frost in the capital.

"You secretly send someone to meet the caravan from Guangzhou. This Golden Rooster Frost must be delivered here as soon as possible."

If something were to happen to Emperor Kangxi, all of Yinzhen's plans would have to be scrapped and started over.

Su Peisheng solemnly replied, "Yes, this servant will send someone over immediately."

Another day passed, and the imperial physician brought news that Kangxi's condition had worsened, with a persistent high fever that had made him somewhat delirious.

Some doctors from the local community came to treat the patient, but there was no sign of improvement in her condition.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince appeared heartbroken and desperate in front of everyone. Only after returning to his room did he manage to conceal his sorrowful expression.

At this time, one of the Crown Prince's officials, for reasons unknown, secretly presented the Crown Prince with a beautiful young woman.

The woman, dressed in men's clothing, entered the prince's room.

"This servant greets Your Highness."

The Crown Prince was unaware of the situation at first. Upon hearing this, he only thought that the servant had a clear and pleasant voice. In addition, he had been flattered a lot recently. Although he looked sad outside, he couldn't feel sad at all when he returned to his room. On the contrary, he was in a good mood.

Hearing such a clear and melodious voice, the Crown Prince said gently, "Get up. Why did I ask you to come and serve me?"

"Eunuch He is busy with official duties and has no free time. This servant is skilled in massage. The Crown Prince has been unable to eat or sleep lately because of His Majesty's illness. This servant has come here to give the Crown Prince some relief."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince suddenly felt quite tired. Remembering that this was his own room, he said, "Alright, come over and give me a shoulder massage."

The woman was delighted upon hearing this, and walked up to the prince, beginning to massage his shoulders.

As the woman approached, the prince smelled a delicate fragrance. He paused for a moment, then assumed he had mistaken her scent and said nothing.

The woman who was chosen to serve the Crown Prince was naturally skilled. The Crown Prince felt very comfortable being massaged. He had been preoccupied with many things these past few days, and being massaged made him feel much more relaxed.

The prince said, "The technique is quite good."

"I am honored that Your Highness does not find me unworthy."

At this point, the woman's hands started to wander.

The woman's hands were soft and boneless. The prince couldn't feel much of her kneading and massaging through his clothes, but when her hand suddenly slipped inside his inner garment, he was startled.

The crown prince grabbed her wrist: "What are you doing?"

The woman felt a sharp pain in her wrist when the prince pinched her, and cried out, "Your Highness, I just wanted to massage your shoulders. It's not very effective through your clothes."

The crown prince thought about it and agreed. However, after carefully examining the man, he realized that he had never been without women since he became a man. He didn't know much about women, but he was not unfamiliar with them either.

Although the person in front of me was dressed in eunuch's clothes, I could vaguely see his ear piercings, his delicate skin, and his affectionate eyes.

The Crown Prince had been on edge lately, unable to show any joy on his face, but inside he was experiencing a mix of emotions. In addition, he had come in a hurry to apologize, and he hadn't been with a woman for quite some time.

Looking at the woman's delicate figure and her slender neck, he began to feel aroused.

The crown prince, realizing they were alone in the room, released her wrist and said, "Let's continue!"

The woman was delighted upon hearing this, for she naturally knew what it meant, and then she became even more restless.

There was indeed no one else in the prince's room. The woman was quite skilled; she managed to unbutton the prince's shirt one by one.

The prince, sitting in his chair, suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

The woman said, "My name is Lianxiang."

Upon hearing this, the prince said, "It does smell very good."

Upon hearing this, Lianxiang lowered her head and gave a charming smile, but her hands continued to move, and then the prince's sleeve was untied.

The prince's outer robe fell off.

Immediately afterwards, Lianxiang said, "This servant will now begin to serve the Crown Prince." Her voice was indescribably charming.

After saying this, Lianxiang placed her hand on the prince's chest.

The prince gasped, his body tingling and tingling with pleasure. Then, he pulled Lianxiang into his arms and kissed her lips.

In broad daylight, there were only two people in the room. The Crown Prince was careful not to make any bad rumors, so he moved very quietly. Only by getting close to the room could one hear the panting sounds coming from inside.

After a long while, the noise inside the house finally ceased.

It must be said that the Crown Prince felt quite comfortable being "served" like this.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince was unusually pleased and said to Lianxiang, "You served well. You will stay by Gu's side and serve him closely for the next few days."

Lianxiang was overjoyed upon hearing this. The key to serving the emperor closely was that he was very ill. His Majesty was seriously ill and his condition was not good. If His Majesty did not survive, the Crown Prince would be rightfully to ascend the throne. If she could win the Crown Prince's favor at this time, she would surely be able to become an imperial concubine.

"This servant will certainly serve the Crown Prince well."

The crown prince was pleased upon hearing this.
