Hongxi died during the Qianlong era. In one lifetime, he was reborn and returned to the time when he was a baby.
Living again, he decided to use the information he had gathered from his past ...
When Hongxi arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng was sitting by the bed talking to Kangxi.
"Come here." He beckoned to Hongxi as she entered. "Sit here."
Upon seeing this, Liang Jiugong immediately moved a small stool and placed it beside the bed. Hongxi obediently sat on it and looked up to see Kangxi's somewhat sallow face.
[In his previous life, the Grandfather suffered from a serious illness due to liver problems. Initially, it was thought to be a cold, which delayed treatment.]
Yinreng looked at Liang Jiugong, "What did the imperial physician say? What are the symptoms?"
Liang Jiugong immediately said, "The imperial physician said it's a cold..." Before he could finish speaking, Yinreng shouted outside, "All the imperial physicians who are waiting, come in."
Several imperial physicians, carrying medicine chests, walked in tremblingly and knelt down with a thud.
"Do you think Father Emperor has caught a cold?"
The head imperial physician broke out in a sweat under Yinreng's gaze.
He always thought His Highness the Crown Prince was kind and approachable, so why was he so domineering now? His eyes were looking at him with an aggressive gaze, and he started to sweat profusely.
"Your Highness, the Emperor does indeed have a cold."
[Come on, in my past life, it was this very imperial physician who delayed the diagnosis. Despite his own incompetence, he suppressed the younger physicians below him, preventing them from rising in rank. Luckily, that young physician was fearless enough to try, and in the end, he saved the Emperor's grandfather at the critical moment.]
Yinreng's gaze swept across the faces of the kneeling imperial physicians, and he noticed a very young-looking physician kneeling in the corner of the last row.
Although he was kneeling, he kept looking up and peeking over, as if he disagreed with the old doctor's words.
"You, come here." Yinreng pointed directly at the young imperial physician.
The young imperial physician was startled, thinking he had been caught peeping.
Fearing that Yinreng would be angry, Liang Jiugong hurriedly grabbed the young imperial physician by the collar and pulled him to the front.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is calling you. Why are you daydreaming?"
The young imperial physician hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I...I am terrified."
[Wait, wasn't it him who diagnosed Grandfather's illness in our previous life?]
Yinreng nodded to himself, but said on the surface, "Come here and take a good look at Father Emperor to see what the symptoms are."
The young imperial physician looked at Yinreng with some confusion and even fear. Seeing that the other man's expression was cold and serious, and that he was not joking, he got up and stepped forward to take his pulse.
He placed his hand on Kangxi's wrist, paused for a moment, then closed his eyes. His expression, sometimes frowning, sometimes pursing his lips, was so poignant that it made everyone's hearts ache.
A moment later, the young imperial physician knelt down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, I think His Majesty doesn't have a cold, but rather a liver problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy immediately said, "Nonsense! His Majesty clearly has a cold, how could it be a liver problem? What can a mere young boy like you do to diagnose this, and you dare to spout nonsense in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
He's anxious, he's anxious because he's ignorant and incompetent.
Yinreng glanced coldly at the man, "You mean I, a mere youth, shouldn't trust this young imperial physician, but should trust you instead?"
"Of course it is... no, no, how could His Highness the Crown Prince be a mere youth..." The head of the academy was so frightened that his face turned pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Guards, drag this person out. He's making a racket."
Liang Jiugong dared not act rashly. He gestured to Wei Zhu with his eyes to take the person away, and then looked at Yinreng with a fawning expression.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Yinreng glanced at Hongxi subconsciously, only to see him looking calm and composed. He immediately said, "Treat Father Emperor according to the prescription given by this young imperial physician."
Everyone in the room was immediately shocked, even the young imperial physician himself was surprised.
He had only been in the Imperial Hospital for a short time when he was ostracized at every turn.
Now, he's treating the Emperor, and the Crown Prince is actually willing to trust him.
Hongxi also looked at Yinreng in surprise, his eyes filled with unconcealed shock.
[Father is truly amazing; he actually believed this young imperial physician. If the correct treatment had been given to Grandfather earlier in this life, perhaps Grandfather would have lived longer and suffered less from illness later on.]
Yinreng looked at Kangxi, who was unconscious with his eyes closed.
Does this mean that my father, the emperor from the previous life, will suffer from illness in the future?
Thinking of how the wise and powerful Emperor Kangxi would have to endure the torment of illness in his old age, Yinreng suddenly couldn't help but cry.
Tears streamed down her face, startling everyone around her.
Liang Jiugong immediately ordered someone to follow the young imperial physician to prepare the medicine, and then dismissed all the servants in the palace before taking a handkerchief and stepping forward.
"Your Highness, please don't be sad. His Majesty will be alright."
Liang Jiugong's voice trembled slightly, suggesting that he was also apprehensive about Kangxi's sudden illness.
"Father, thanks to the timely treatment, he will wake up soon."
[In his previous life, due to a delay in treatment, his grandfather was ill for over two months before recovering. By then, his father had already fallen out of favor, and the court suddenly descended into chaos.]
Fortunately, the illness hasn't been delayed, and Father is still deeply favored. His two brothers, who could rival Father, are either at the border or in the Imperial Clan Court, and his other uncles are currently keeping quiet, so it seems unlikely there will be any further trouble in the court.
Yinreng's eyebrows moved. "He Yuzhu, tell the princes in the capital that Father Emperor is ill, and tell them to come to the palace immediately."
As evening fell, the princes who had originally planned to go to Yuqing Palace for a free meal all appeared at Qianqing Palace.
The group first visited Emperor Kangxi, and then sat down together around Yinreng.
"Second Brother, Father's illness came on suddenly, and the news hasn't spread yet. I wonder what the scene will be like in the court tomorrow," Yinzhen said, expressing his concern.
Yinzhi and Yinqi exchanged a glance. "Tomorrow, all of us brothers will go to court. At the same time, we will send messages to Hesheli, the Nalan family, and the Niohuru clan, telling them to make sure the court remains stable tomorrow."
Yinreng nodded in agreement.
Yin Tang said, "I will go to Guo Luoluo's house after I leave the palace and have them pass on the message that no one is allowed to cause trouble recently."
Yin'e nodded in agreement, "I'll also go find Faka and tell him to make sure he keeps his men in check."
Seeing his brothers so united, Yinreng's face immediately showed a grateful smile.
"With Father Emperor seriously ill, some unscrupulous families will try to take this opportunity to cause trouble. Brothers, you must restrain the power behind you and also tell your wives to keep their households in check."
The princes all nodded in agreement.
[Oh dear, I suddenly remembered something. Eighth Uncle was inexplicably poisoned while Grandfather was seriously ill. The court officials all believed it was Father's doing, intending to eliminate Eighth Uncle while Grandfather was unconscious. After Grandfather awoke, he severely reprimanded Father for this, and no matter how Father explained, Grandfather wouldn't believe him.]
The reason for Uncle Eight's poisoning was never found out. Instead, Uncle Eight was released because of it and gradually regained his power. It's unknown whether the poisoning incident will happen again in this life.
