In July, the undercurrents in the capital caused by the Crown Prince's affair gradually subsided as the Emperor toured the borderlands with the Crown Prince accompanying him. (Three Inches of Human World)

Upon arriving in Rehe, the imperial procession stopped.

Meanwhile, Honghui, who had been a source of constant worry, was unharmed, which put the minds of the Fourth Prince, his wife, and Hongxuan at ease.

The two princes, Hongxuan and Honghui, were of different ages. One was sickly and the other was still young. To make things easier and more reassuring, the two brothers were allowed to live together.

When the Fourth Prince first made the suggestion, the Princess Consort was a little reluctant, but after hearing the Fourth Prince say that "it would make the two brothers closer," she was happy to agree.

Honghui, however, could not hold on any longer and, upon arriving at his lodgings in Rehe, asked to lie down and rest. Hongxuan, on the other hand, was in good health and, having traveled by carriage the entire way, wanted to go out for a walk and stretch his legs.

But seeing Hong Hui's pale and tired appearance, Hong Xuan was a little worried and hesitated for a moment, thinking that maybe he should not go.

Honghui, not wanting to delay Hongxuan, took the initiative to say, "Brother, I feel much better after a nap. If you want to go out for a walk, go ahead. Besides, there are other people here looking after you!"

Hongxuan was still somewhat hesitant.

"Alright, what's there to hesitate about?" Honghui glared at Hongxuan with annoyance. "You, get out of here. Your older brother is going to sleep." Before he finished speaking, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, covered himself with the blanket, and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"Alright then! Big brother, you go to sleep. I'll head out first."

After going outside, Hongxuan wandered around for a bit before turning back. He was still worried about his older brother, and upon returning, his first question was about Honghui: "Is older brother alright?"

"Fourth Prince, you're so kind! First Prince is doing well!"

"Alright, alright! Never mind, I won't go out either, I'm going to sleep."

In Rehe, Honghui was safe and sound for several days, which put Fourth Master and the others at ease, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.

Even Honghui, the person being worried about, is afraid that getting sick will cause others to worry, so he is always on edge, not wanting to get sick.

Now that I've relaxed my guard, illness has immediately invaded.

"Is Big Brother up yet?" Outside the house, Hongxuan stood outside Honghui's room and asked in a low voice to Xiao Liuzi, one of the eunuchs guarding the door.

"Your Highness, the master hasn't gotten up yet. However, he instructed me to wake him if he hasn't gotten up."

"Oh, okay, then go ahead!"

Xiao Liu remained motionless. He continued to Hong Xuan, "Fourth Prince, the Master said that if he hasn't gotten up yet, you can go in and sit and wait if you don't mind."

"What's there to mind!" Hongxuan laughed. "Come on, I'll go in with you."

After entering, Hongxuan did not follow Xiaoliuzi towards the bed. He simply stopped at the screen, found a stool, and sat down.

Then, watching Xiao Liuzi tiptoe to the bedside, he said to Honghui, "Master, it's time to get up."

Despite repeated calls, the eldest prince, Honghui, remained unresponsive.

Instantly, Xiao Liuzi realized something was wrong. In the past, his master would have reacted long ago, except when his master was sick.

When Hongxuan heard that Xiaoliuzi couldn't wake up the eldest prince Honghui no matter how he called, he also sensed that something was wrong. He immediately rushed over the screen and came to Honghui's bedside.

Honghui kept his eyes closed, and at first glance he looked the same as usual. However, Hongxuan, with his sharp eyes, noticed a slight difference: his cheeks were flushed.

Hongxuan couldn't help but reach out and touch Honghui's forehead. His pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly withdrew his hand. Then he stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "It's so hot!"

Realizing that his older brother was sick, he suddenly felt a pang of panic.

Bian Xiaoliuzi was always under the care of Xiao Liuzi, the personal eunuch of the First Prince Honghui. However, Xiao Liuzi's condition worsened due to the change in environment, and he is now bedridden and unable to get up. Therefore, Xiaoliuzi has been taking care of him recently.

Although he had experienced his master's illness many times, he had little experience in making decisions calmly in a crisis. He used to envy and be jealous of Xiao Liuzi being used by the eldest prince Honghui, but now he wished that it was he who was suffering from the change in environment.

Panicked and clueless, he was utterly useless at this moment.

Fortunately, Hongxuan was there. Hongxuan was also flustered at first, but when he saw that the person in charge of his elder brother's place was also flustered and incompetent, he told himself to calm down.

Aisin-Gioro Hongxuan, you must calm down, calm down, and calm down again. Your elder brother Honghui is in an emergency and needs your help. You mustn't panic. Stay calm. You can help him. He will definitely be alright.

After giving himself this mental suggestion, he indeed calmed down.

Once he calmed down, his mind became clear, and he knew what he should do.

He quickly started shouting outside, "Someone come quick! Someone come quick!"

Hearing the shouts outside, a large group of people rushed in.

Hongxuan reacted quickly, immediately pointing to the person who arrived first and saying, "You, quickly go and fetch the accompanying doctor."

Then he pointed to another person and instructed, "You, hurry up and go to the Empress Dowager and find a way to tell your stepmother and elder brother about this. Also, you, go find my father."

After giving a series of instructions, Hongxuan carefully reviewed them to see if there were any oversights.

Because they lived nearby, a doctor was quickly found.

Hongxuan's anxiety was slightly relieved when he saw the doctor.

As soon as the doctor entered the room, he immediately began to examine the patient. Hongxuan and Xiaoliuzi stared intently at him until the doctor finished taking the pulse. Hongxuan then looked around and asked, "Doctor, how is my elder brother?"

"Fourth Prince, the First Prince's condition is very urgent. This humble subject's abilities are limited, and I can only use acupuncture to temporarily alleviate the First Prince's condition. It would be best to quickly invite a skilled imperial physician to treat him."

"Summon the imperial physician!" Hongxuan and Xiaoliuzi exclaimed, immediately becoming anxious.

"Yes, Fourth Prince, the First Prince cannot be delayed here; we must immediately summon the imperial physician."

"What should we do?" Xiao Liu was almost in tears. He was traveling and had no way to send his name card to the mansion. How could a servant like him find a royal physician?

Although Hongxuan was young, he was already quite sensible and understood the danger of the situation. However, as a young prince who needed permission to go out, he had no way to invite the imperial physician.

What to do, what to do, he kept asking himself. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he slapped his forehead, cursing himself inwardly: "How stupid of me!"

He immediately gave the order again: "Go, no." Hongxuan immediately pointed to someone and hurriedly instructed: "Go, go find Liu Hong or Yao Huang from the Empress Dowager's place, whoever it is, tell them that the First Prince is ill and that the Imperial Physician must be summoned immediately."

These two women often assist the principal wife in handling household affairs. They are capable and reliable. Moreover, the principal wife had told them before they came that if there were any problems that were difficult to resolve by consulting her, they could consult these two women instead.

Therefore, the imperial physician will surely be found very quickly.

Thinking this, Hongxuan stared intently at Honghui, who was being treated with acupuncture by the doctor, and kept repeating in his heart: Big brother, you must hold on, the imperial physician is here, you will be alright.
