After examining the patient for a long time, Physician Liu replied in a deep voice.

Looking at his eldest grandson, whose face was pale, Kangxi felt a mix of complex emotions and loneliness.

Such a big child is gone.

I'll be able to get married soon.

Yinreng's eyes genuinely reddened.

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense.

"Doctor Liu, time is of the essence, can't we try to save him one more time? The child is so old now, he's certainly not as fragile as a baby!"

As Shirley entered, she spoke urgently, glancing regretfully at Hongyan on the bed and the waiting imperial physician.

Physician Liu frowned and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, and Your Highness the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, the young prince has suddenly fallen ill. If there were someone knowledgeable in pharmacology present, and if he hadn't bitten his tongue, everything could still be saved. But now..."

Everyone understood what Physician Liu meant by not saying more.

Sherry trembled slightly and closed her eyes briefly: "Father, your son—"

"It's not your fault, you did a great job!" Kangxi probably knew what she was going to say, so how could he blame her?

"Yes, it's not your fault. Make arrangements for the aftermath." The crown prince remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

Sherry, unusually, helped him up, and Kangxi glanced at him and said, "Hongyan is posthumously granted the title of Prince An!"

Sherry and the Crown Prince bowed together!

"Father, please take good care of yourself! If Hongyan knew that his grandfather was so heartbroken for him, he would surely be uneasy!" The eldest son, Yinzhi, suddenly stepped forward, looking at Kangxi with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, Father Emperor and Second Prince, please take care of yourselves and accept our condolences!" Fourth Prince Yinzhen said expressionlessly, his eyes filled with worry.

"Yes, yes..." Everyone in the crowd eagerly expressed their opinions.

"It seems that Hongyan also misses his imperial grandmother!" Yinzhi suddenly added.

Everyone said that they seemed to be very close and affectionate, like brothers.

However, everyone reacted differently to Lao Ba's words.

It's not wrong to say it's not right, but it's not wrong either.

That's true, but something just doesn't feel right.

Kangxi paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's get down to business!"

Then the huge crowd dispersed.

Sherry made arrangements for Hongyan's funeral.

The Imperial Household Department got busy.

Sherry then noticed Hongbing, Foerguochun, and Wuergong'e silently lurking in the corner.

"When did you arrive?" Sherry asked, only then noticing the three children.

"Mother..." Wuergong suddenly burst into tears.

Sherry squatted down and gently hugged and comforted her.

Hongbing held his younger sister's hand and patted his older sister's back, his eyes showing some unhappiness.

"Mother, is my brother not going to wake up?" This was the first time Urgong'e had faced the loss of a loved one.

His eyes were filled with helplessness and confusion.

The twins exchanged a somber glance without saying a word.

“…He might be missing his mother.” Shirley rubbed Urgong’s forehead.

The eldest daughter was spoiled and somewhat naive, and had never faced conspiracies and intrigues directly.

Sherry doesn't know whether it's better to let her grow up a bit or to let her grow up now.

Twins are different; the brother and sister together have a dozen or so schemes.

They may not understand other things, but children are especially sensitive to human scent.

Your body's instincts will tell you who is sincere and who is not.

As Kangxi's granddaughter, Wuergong'e was also greatly favored.

The more love you have, the brighter your perspective on the world will always be.

Sherry held the three little ones and gently coaxed them.

Urgong'e cried for a long time, then suddenly realized that her younger siblings were behind her, and none of them were crying.

She cried her eyes out, and perhaps realizing how embarrassing it was, she nestled in Shirley's arms with her cheeks flushed red and refused to come out.

Sherry arranged for someone to clean her face before they left hand in hand.

Emperor Kangxi quickly received the news, but said nothing. He instructed Liang Jiugong to select some treasures that young girls would like and send them to Yuqing Palace.

Yinreng, however, gently comforted his two daughters.

Shirley looked down at little Hongbing's heavy face, then took his little hand and led him back to the main courtyard.

On the way, Sherry fell into deep thought.

Is intelligence or emotional intelligence innate?

Just look at the eldest daughter and the twins to know.

If she remembered correctly, the brother and sister both looked very somber at that time...

She was much more dedicated to her acting than anyone else.

After all, it was a fact that Hongxi disliked them. Because of their existence, the brothers could only be unappreciated illegitimate sons.

It would have been fine if he had never received it from the beginning, but before the birth of the twins, Hongxi was pampered and spoiled.

But ever since the birth of twins, her treatment has plummeted.

He needs to curry favor to gain benefits, which the eldest son of the Crown Prince naturally possesses.

He understood, but that didn't stop him from being unwilling to accept it!

Yinreng may have treated his brothers well because of his past affection for their mother, but the subsequent outbreak of the childlessness incident turned that affection into hatred!

Hongyan quickly realized something was amiss, but he had no one to rely on and no information.

He was even more cautious and meticulous; if it weren't for his poor health, he would definitely be a strategist!

That's why they say it's rare to be confused!

The higher you jump, the harder you fall!

Sherry ignored all that and followed the rules meticulously. If she wanted anything else, she wouldn't get it!

People have varying degrees of closeness or distance; she only loves her child! No problem!

As for what Yinreng wants to do, that's up to him!

In the 44th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1705), the Kangxi Emperor embarked on his fifth southern tour.

Sherry finally made it this time.

Take the children out to play.

Because their physical condition was quite good, Sherry was relieved.
