He Xue was half asleep when she heard Nan Xing calling her to get up. She struggled to open her eyes and asked, "Nan Xing, what happened?"

He Xue knew something must have happened, otherwise Nan Xing wouldn't have woken her up in the middle of the night. He Xue looked outside; it was still dark!

"Princess, He Zhu is here. His Highness the Crown Prince has sent him to escort you to the palace. The Imperial Concubine is ill!" Nanxing took the handkerchief Xia Bing handed her and prepared to wipe He Xue's face so that He Xue could wake up a bit.

"Who...who is sick?" Kazuyuki asked cautiously.

"It's the Imperial Concubine!" Nanxing looked at Hexue's panicked state and didn't know how to comfort her.

Having always been by He Xue's side, she naturally knew about He Xue's feelings for Consort Tongjia.

"Where is He Zhu?" He Xue asked, her face pale.

"In the front hall! Madam..." Before Nanxing could finish speaking, Hexue had already gotten out of bed and ran out in her undergarments.

"Princess, you're not dressed yet!" Nanxing grabbed a cloak and ran after Hexue.

Xia Bing noticed that He Xue had run out without shoes, so she grabbed He Xue's shoes and chased after her.

He Xue ran towards the front hall, tears streaming down her face. She had a premonition that Consort Tongjia was probably in serious condition this time, otherwise the Crown Prince would not have sent He Zhu to bring her to the palace at this time.

Has she been living too comfortably lately and forgotten the fate of Consort Tongjia in history? Or does she think she can change everyone's destiny all by herself?

He Xue was now filled with deep self-blame. If she couldn't change the fate of the people here, then what was the point of her coming here?

"Princess, put on your cloak first!" Nanxing and Xiabing finally caught up with Hexue.

When Xia Bing was putting shoes on He Xue, she noticed that He Xue's feet were already blistered. "Princess, this..."

Nanxing glanced down and said, "Let's put on the princess's shoes first!"

Xia Bing, I'll take care of the princess here. You go back and pack your things; the princess is definitely going to the palace!

“Okay!” Xia Bing replied.

"Princess, let me carry you across!" Nanxing said to Hexue with heartache.

"No need, I can walk!" After saying that, He Xue walked forward as if she didn't feel any pain.

Nanxing immediately caught up with Hexue and helped her up.

When He Xue arrived at the front hall, Tongjia was secretly wiping away tears.

"Mother!"

Seeing He Xue's expression, Lady Tongjia knew that Nanxing had already told He Xue, "The Crown Prince has sent Eunuch He to fetch you to the palace. Your aunt is sick, go and see her!"

Lady Tongjia was also extremely anxious, but she could not enter the palace at will without being summoned. She could only pray that the Eternal Heaven would bless Consort Tongjia!

"I understand, Mother!"

"He Zhu, let's go!" He Xue said to He Zhu.

"Yes, Princess!" Knowing the seriousness of the matter, He Zhu didn't dare to delay and immediately drove towards the palace after picking up He Xue.

Consort Tongjia's health had always been poor, and with this selection of concubines, she thought it was just because she was too tired, so she didn't take it to heart. At the same time, she instructed the people in Chengqian Palace not to tell Kangxi and the Fourth Prince about this.

It just so happens that Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Prince were quite busy during this period and visited Chengqian Palace less often. Even when they noticed that Consort Tongjia looked unwell, Consort Tongjia brushed it off by saying that she was just tired from being out of shape.

This morning, Consort Tongjia suddenly fainted while having breakfast.

Ren Dong immediately summoned the imperial physician and also sent someone to inform Kangxi and the Fourth Prince.

When Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Prince arrived at Chengqian Palace, they saw Consort Tongjia lying lifeless on the bed.

The Fourth Prince could hardly believe that the person lying motionless on the bed was his mother, who had just told him yesterday not to be a picky eater.

"Mother, your son is here. Please open your eyes and look at your son. I promise I will never be a picky eater again!" The Fourth Prince knelt on Consort Tongjia's bed and whispered, afraid of disturbing her.

"Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Bring everyone from the Imperial Hospital to me!" Emperor Kangxi couldn't believe his eyes, and his voice rose!

Liang Jiugong looked at the helpless Kangxi. At this moment, Kangxi was not a high and mighty emperor, but an ordinary person who was afraid of losing his beloved.

He has served Emperor Kangxi since childhood. Even during the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories, Emperor Kangxi always appeared to be in control and strategic, unlike now!

"Your Majesty, please sit down. The imperial physician will be here soon!" Liang Jiugong tried to reassure Kangxi.

But at this point, Kangxi wouldn't listen to anything anyone said.
