Chapter 875 Anyway, my grandfather is not at home...
Emperor Kangxi fell ill and did not attend the morning court. For a time, suspicion arose in the court.
The Ninth Master and the Thirteenth Master were also extremely busy. Not only were the Emperor and the Crown Prince's matters piling up, but even the Empress Dowager's people had come to ask several questions.
"When will the Emperor wake up? Can you give me a definite answer?"
Jiu Ye was at his wit's end, so he asked the imperial physician for advice.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is suffering from a severe case of anxiety. It wouldn't be a bad idea for him to get some sleep. The medicine is ready, and the ladies are watching over him. I'm sure he's already been fed. I'm sure he'll wake up soon."
Jiu Ye frowned again. "How long does it take? There's no exact time."
"This... I can't say for sure. If he doesn't wake up in the next few days, he will surely wake up tomorrow."
Jiu Ye: “…”
The imperial physician glanced at the Ninth Prince and then asked, "Ninth Prince, the elder princes are not here this year. I have something to ask you for."
Jiu Ye: "...You said it."
"Look, how can we tell the Empress Dowager? She's still asleep, but her people have come over to ask several times. It's obvious that the Cining Palace knows what's going on here. I'm afraid we can't keep it a secret for much longer."
After hearing this, Jiu Ye scratched his forehead and suddenly looked at his personal eunuch: "Xiao Jinzi, Xiao Yinzi hasn't come back from Fourth Brother yet? Where on earth did Fourth Brother go?"
"My Lord, I'm back, I'm back. I just got back. But Xiao Yinzi said that the Fourth Prince and his concubine didn't come back to the mansion at all yesterday."
"Didn't go back? How come you can't find him at this critical moment?"
Jiu Ye turned around and saw Shisan beside him: "Shisan, what do you think?"
"Nineth Brother, I think we need to send people to find out more about Fourth Brother and Little Fourth Sister-in-law. Also, we can keep it a secret from the old ancestor for a while. I'll send a message to Fourteenth Brother later, asking him to stay with the old ancestor and take better care of him.
Also, Second Brother needs help right now, so it would be best if one of us could stay there when he has time."
Jiu Ye nodded after hearing this and said, "This is the only way now."
Thirteen let out a sigh. In his previous life, he had been able to stand on his own for many years.
After I came back, I often listened to Fourth Brother's instructions. I don't know if I was used to it, but when Fourth Brother was not around, I always felt a little uneasy.
Things have been quite uneasy these days, and Fourth Brother went out in that state again, which made Thirteen a little worried.
He glanced outside with great concern, praying in his heart that his fourth brother and his wife were safe and sound, and that nothing unexpected would happen to them.
On the Fourth Master's side, Wen Jiu was also worried about the awakening of the people in the palace.
"Master, I just flew out for a while and they said the emperor fainted, but nothing serious has happened so far, so don't worry."
Wen Jiu let out a light breath, not bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and continued to pass the spiritual energy into the Fourth Master's body. The spiritual energy was like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Strange, Ciyan's condition seems to be improving, but why do I sense that the Emperor's Heart Tree has become even darker?"
Xiao Jin's eyelids twitched at that moment, and he felt like something was wrong.
Wenjiu also frowned and tried his best to transfer the spiritual energy into the Fourth Master's body.
"Master, please wake up quickly. I can't hold on much longer like this!"
Xiao Jin frowned after hearing this. He knew he couldn't hold on for much longer, but after turning around several times, he couldn't think of any solution. He subconsciously glanced at the Fourth Master, and suddenly his eyes widened. He shouted in surprise, "Master! Look, the Fourth Master seems to be conscious again!"
Wen Jiu looked up and saw a blood-red heart slowly forming on the Fourth Master's head.
[Ding~ Received 1 top-level heart from Emperor Star.]
The long-lost voice came to mind, and Wenjiu was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jin exchanged his love for a spirit stone to nourish Wen Jiu. This spirit stone eased Wen Jiu's predicament, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, I know you can hear me. Wake up. Jiu'er really needs you! Wake up now."
Later, Wenjiu spared no effort to talk to the Fourth Master, and as expected, he saw that the love on the Fourth Master's head was gradually condensing again.
Wenjiu's eyes lit up, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, Zhan Dagumi, you are so handsome, with a pretty face and a good figure. My grandfather is not at home, come here and let me touch you...Puff!"
Before Wen Jiu could finish his words, he saw the tightly closed eyes of the person opposite him suddenly open.
Even with his incredibly familiar gentleness, meeting his gaze, she felt a chill run down her spine. The next second, she was blasted back over ten meters by a powerful force, barely coming to a stop after crashing into a tree.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but rub his waist at that moment, feeling a little regretful. Why did he provoke him? He was so tired that he almost fell apart...
He shook his head and rubbed his eyes: "Master, are you awake? Are you awake?"
The Fourth Master's inky black eyes shone with a faint golden light. He stared at the warm wine for a long time before his spirits brightened and he slowly uttered two words: "...Wine."
"It's me, it's me!" Wen Jiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and rushed forward to throw himself into his arms: "You're awake, really awake, you scared me to death. Do you know how scary it was when you didn't recognize anyone yesterday..."
The Fourth Master's eyes moved slightly, and his hand subconsciously wrapped around the warm wine.
"Oh, Master, you hurt me."
Wenjiu was strangled by him and could hardly breathe, so he pushed him away subconsciously.
The Fourth Master finally relaxed. He stared at her for a long moment, then twitched his lips and said, "That's great."
"Hmm? What's so good about what you said, sir?"
The Fourth Master did not reply, but simply squeezed the hand that was warming the wine: "How is it? I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Seeing the blood at the corner of Wenjiu's mouth, the Fourth Master's eyes suddenly became cold again.
Even Wenjiu shuddered when he met his gaze.
"Ahem. It's okay, it's nothing serious. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I'm so stupid, why didn't you tell me anything? Were you injured when you were helping Prince Zhi drive away the dark energy? If so, your mind has been corroded by the dark energy. It scared me to death."
"I never thought that something like this would happen to me, my second brother. It was because there was too much dark energy in his broken arm that affected me for a while.
Thanks to your spiritual energy, I am fine now, and you don't have to worry anymore."
As he said this, the Fourth Master smiled and touched Wenjiu's head.
