In the end, his ruthless and resolute tone, and his cold eyes, sent a chill down the spine of everyone who saw him.

Hongshi imprinted Hongxuan's terrifying image firmly in his mind.

After that, Hongshi was traumatized. Whenever he saw Hongxuan's cold face, he couldn't help but shrink back, just like when he saw the Fourth Prince.

This infuriated Li, who called him a coward.

When Emperor Kangxi learned that the Fourth Prince had contracted the plague, he was very worried and immediately sent imperial physicians and medicines. Of course, he also remembered his beloved grandson, Hongxuan.

After learning that he was in good health and there was an 80% chance that he would not contract the epidemic, Kangxi felt somewhat relieved.

He showed no anger when he learned that he had imprisoned the fourth prince's concubine and princess, as well as the people they had brought with them.

He also learned that the fourth prince, Yinzhen, had been deliberately infected with the plague, and that it was related to the Hesheli clan. Even without Hongxuan, he would have issued this order.

"This lad is intelligent, calm, and decisive." After praising him, Kangxi immediately issued an imperial edict to Hongxuan, ordering all those around the Fourth Prince, except for those who were taking care of him, to obey his arrangements.

Immediately, he looked at Li Dequan and instructed him to send someone back to the Yong Prince's Mansion to deliver an imperial edict, ordering someone to come and attend to the sick fourth prince, Yinzhen.

Just then, a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince of the Yong Prince's Mansion has sent someone to present a memorial."

Li Dequan immediately took it and handed it to Kangxi.

Kangxi took the memorial, slammed it on the table, and said angrily, "This kid, does he not understand the danger of the epidemic? He actually wants to go and take care of the fourth prince when he is ill. He even said that the journey is too far and the women in the mansion will probably not make it in time, so he should go and take care of him. What can a little kid do?"

"It's terrible, Your Majesty!" Another eunuch, his face filled with panic and his steps hurried, entered.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?" Li Dequan immediately asked.

Emperor Kangxi looked at the eunuch with a displeased expression.

The eunuch hurriedly replied, "The fourth prince of Prince Yong's mansion, he, he broke into Prince Yong's courtyard."

"What!" Kangxi stood up abruptly, his expression extremely grim. "That brat, how could he be so ignorant! That's an epidemic, not a common disease. It's highly contagious, and the chances of survival are slim."

Suddenly, Kangxi realized a possibility: "Could it be that he doesn't know?"

"How could I not know?" Li Dequan thought to himself.

Kangxi also reacted instantly, sat down blankly, and sighed, "The fourth son of the fourth prince's family has always been intelligent and calm, and he does things in an organized and decisive manner. How could he not know?"

Then, with a complex look in his eyes, he sighed, "The fourth brother is lucky."

When they learned of Hongxuan's actions, his uncles and elders thought that his actions were too impulsive and dangerous. They not only disapproved of them and were worried about him, but also envied the Fourth Master.

If they were the ones who contracted the plague, they wouldn't be sure if their children would be like Hongxuan. Most would probably be like Hongshi, worrying about their fathers, obediently waiting for the unknown outcome.

Meanwhile, Hongshi was both worried about the Fourth Prince and busy keeping an eye on Hesheli and the others.

Previously, Hongxuan had told him that he would take care of his father when he was ill, which left Hongshi bewildered.

I thought it was just talk, after all, an epidemic is very dangerous, and if you get infected, you're almost certainly going to die.

But looking at her fourth brother Hongxuan, who was already prepared and was telling her to take good care of herself, she moved her lips but ultimately did not say, "I will go with you to take care of Father."

He was still afraid of contracting the epidemic.

Hongxuan had no intention of having Hongshi go along, and even if he had suggested it, he would have stopped him, since Hongshi was different from him and didn't have a mysterious power protecting him.

Moreover, he had come up with a way to save his father. This method would only work if he went himself; his third brother wouldn't know how.

"Third Brother, keep a close eye on Hesheli and her group. Don't let your guard down. Who knows what other ill-intentioned people might be lurking around her?"

Upon hearing this, Hongshi remembered how his father had been tricked into contracting the plague, and his expression froze, his face turning even paler.

Hongxuan knew he was scared and was speechless. Did he have to be so cowardly?

He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, besides you keeping an eye on them, Grandfather will probably send people to keep an eye on them as well."

Upon hearing this, Hongshi breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked doubtfully, "Isn't it enough to have someone from the Imperial Grandfather watching over things?"

Hongxuan was speechless. "It's not that we're afraid of the worst, but with double protection, it's even safer here."

In reality, he was simply trying to find something for his third brother, Hongshi, to do, so that he wouldn't overthink things. After all, he was so timid; what if he scared himself by thinking too much?

Hongshi, who was completely unaware that he was being underestimated, was very grateful to Hongxuan for thinking about his safety.

Hongxuan wrote another memorial and handed it to a guard to present to Kangxi. Then he got up and went to the courtyard where the Fourth Prince was, which had been isolated.

There were guards outside the Fourth Prince's courtyard. When they saw Hongxuan arrive, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Just as the guards thought that the Fourth Prince Hongxuan had stopped, Hongxuan turned around, quickly dodged the guards, and darted into the courtyard.

The guards immediately realized what was happening and rushed after him, trying to stop Hongxuan. However, Hongxuan was small and agile, and the two guards could not stop him. He broke into the courtyard.

The people in the courtyard were stunned when they suddenly saw Hongxuan. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hongxuan quickly darted inside.

Finally, the people in the courtyard realized what was happening and rushed forward to stop him. But Hongxuan was very perceptive and could quickly spot any obstacles or openings. Moreover, he had practiced martial arts since childhood and was very agile. He would often slip through any opening he saw.

A large group of people couldn't stop this little kid.

Gradually, more and more people came to stop Hongxuan, but the more people there were, the more they got in the way. No one knew how Hongxuan did it, but for a moment, one or two more people would suddenly appear out of his sight, and then someone who didn't react in time would bump into him.

After several collisions, the people who came to stop Hongxuan were almost all wiped out.

Even if someone could continue to chase and stop Hongxuan, it would be too late.

At this moment, Hongxuan had already arrived at the door of Fourth Master's room.

In order to better take care of the Fourth Master, Su Peisheng, who hadn't closed his eyes since the Fourth Master fell ill, had become somewhat delirious.

He couldn't hear what was going on outside, only that it was very noisy. He flung open the door and shouted in a hoarse voice, "What's all the noise about? You're delaying my treatment..."

As Su Peisheng was speaking, he saw a blue shadow dart past his arm and into the house. He immediately fell silent, a chill running through him, and his mind began to clear.
