Chapter 879 Emperor Kangxi: Yes, he is not a sickly person
The group rushed back in a hurry, but when they got back to the capital, they found that the prince was fine at all.
His Majesty’s anger is inevitable.
On the contrary, it was the Queen Mother who had suffered from homesickness for so many years. She had almost reached her hometown, but had never set foot there. This was because the Crown Prince lied to her, and she was worried about the Crown Prince's health, and now he was too sick to get out of bed.
The emperor was the most filial son, so it was natural for him to be angry and scold the prince. That was inevitable.
Little did they know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly met with death when he was having a quarrel with His Majesty.
That day, the emperor did not sleep all night. Liang Jiugong knew that the emperor was probably blaming himself.
Last night, the Crown Prince was awake, and His Majesty was happier than anyone else. However, he did not expect that the first thing His Highness did after waking up was to have a fierce quarrel with His Majesty.
What His Highness said was chilling even to him, an outsider, let alone His Majesty?
People say that the emperor is the supreme being in the world, but is it really easy to be the supreme being?
Their Highness, with the elderly and sick Empress Dowager above him, a son who was a constant source of worry below him, the court he was bound to attend to, and the chaotic palaces behind him. There was no peace of mind anywhere.
Even if I'm sick now, I dare not rest for a moment.
Liang Jiugong sighed, a lot of thoughts in his mind, but in the blink of an eye, he picked up a thick cloak and ran to catch up.
Concubine Hui frowned behind him and couldn't help but follow him out two steps: "Your Majesty, when will you return? I'll have someone heat up some bird's nest for you."
Emperor Kangxi in front did not reply and did not even stop.
Concubine Hui looked at her and suddenly called the maid to her side: "Hurry up and tell the Prince of Zhi to come back as soon as possible. Also, tell him that the Queen Mother is not feeling well and ask him to buy some snacks."
The maid beside her immediately responded: "Hey, I'll go right away."
"Wait a minute," Concubine Hui thought for a moment and then said, "Tell the Eighth Master to stop staring at the food in the kitchen. The Emperor has gone to see the Empress Dowager. Let him show his skills too."
“Yeah.”
"Also, tell the people in the imperial kitchen to make some soup."
"Hmm." The nanny beside her responded, glanced around, and said, "Your Majesty, the other ladies in the palace are feeling a bit resentful after returning home. Do you think you should send them something to appease them?"
"What are you trying to appease?" Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes. "Originally, I'm supposed to be here to look after the Emperor, but now that the Crown Prince is in trouble, who else among the princes can compare to my son? Asking them to go back in a nice way is all good, but now, even if I hit them, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to say a word!"
"Your Majesty is right." The nanny also laughed: "Your Majesty, yesterday, Concubine Rong sent you a lot of silk and satin for the first time. Even Concubine Rong sent you some snacks. I'm afraid they are all trying to curry favor with you. However, Concubine De didn't seem very happy."
"How can she be happy?" Concubine Hui curled her lips coldly, "The Fourth Master has always been close to the Crown Prince. If anything happens to the Crown Prince, the Fourth Master will also suffer. She must be very upset right now."
The nanny listened and couldn't help but frown. "That's what you say, Your Majesty, our Prince Zhi is very fond of the Fourth Prince now. He always mentions the Fourth Prince when something good happens, and he won't allow anyone to say anything bad about him. He even cares about Concubine De. What unpleasant things happened yesterday? I wonder if the Prince would be unhappy if he knew."
"Why are you unhappy?" Concubine Hui sneered. "My son only fell in love with the fourth brother because he accepted his injury for my son. But what happened yesterday proves that he was not injured at all. This is clearly a trick on my son. Do you think my son can swallow this? I'm afraid there is not much brotherly love left."
"Your Majesty is right. I was overthinking it."
......
"Your Majesty, are we going to Yuqing Palace?"
Liang Jiugong looked at Emperor Kangxi standing still, followed Emperor Kangxi's gaze, understood what was going on, and asked softly.
Emperor Kangxi's lips were still a little pale. He just gathered his cloak tightly around him without saying a word.
Liang Jiugong looked at it and replied softly, "Your Majesty, after the Fourth Prince and Concubine Jin delivered the medicine to you, they seemed to have gone directly to Yuqing Palace.
I'm afraid the Fourth Prince is also concerned about the Crown Prince's health and wants to go and see him. The Imperial Physician has actually come back today and reported that the Crown Prince's arm has indeed been reattached. Although he can't use it like an ordinary person, he can still move it and pick up light objects without any problem.
Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly after hearing this: "Have the fourth brother and the others been here?"
"Yes, the Fourth Prince and his concubine came to bring you medicine. Doctor Liu applied it to you, and you woke up within half an hour. While you were asleep, all the concubines and princes in the harem came to visit you. However, Concubine Hui later said that the crowds were too numerous and disturbing, so she sent the concubines back to rest."
"Oh," Emperor Kangxi suddenly laughed, "She does have some skills now."
Liang Jiugong looked up at Emperor Kangxi's expression. For a moment, he couldn't guess what the Emperor meant by this. For a moment, he didn't dare to say anything more. He just said, "Your Majesty, it's too cold today. Why don't you get on the sedan chair first? You're not feeling well. I hope you don't get frozen."
Emperor Kangxi laughed again: "My Qing Dynasty was conquered by force, and none of us are inferior in riding, shooting, fighting and kicking. But I never expected that by the time I came, I would have become such a sickly person, unable to even stand the slightest bit of cold."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You have been feeling unwell recently. When you recover, you will still be as wise and powerful as ever."
Emperor Kangxi suddenly glanced at Liang Jiugong, then turned around and got on the sedan chair: "My health is failing, but I never thought that my sons and grandsons would become a bunch of sickly people."
"Oh, Your Majesty, I think what you said is wrong. Everyone knows that Your Majesty is the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty. Even the princes and grandchildren are strong and healthy."
"Strong? If he were strong, how could he have arms and legs missing?"
After these words were spoken, even Liang Jiugong did not dare to say a word.
Emperor Kangxi then added, "Yes, you are right. The fourth son is not a sickly person. He is in good health."
Liang Jiugong was worried for the Fourth Master for a moment.
The next second, Emperor Kangxi, who was sitting at the head of the sedan chair, suddenly looked down and asked, "Tell me, is he in good health or not? When did he get sick, and when did he get better? From whom did he learn these extraordinary abilities? And when did he learn them?"
"This... Your Majesty, I don't know."
Emperor Kangxi withdrew his gaze: "Yes, if I don't know, how can you know?"
After saying this, Emperor Kangxi simply closed his eyes and said nothing more.
