Yinreng was very worried, more worried than ever before.
He sat on the edge of the bed and carefully recalled the scenes of his eastern tour in his previous life. He didn't remember that his father had a fever.
Why is the burn so severe in this life?
He was extremely worried and subconsciously held Kangxi's hand, as if to give him strength.
Kangxi, who was in a coma, was not feeling well either. He seemed to be dreaming, but the dream was so clear that it didn't seem like a dream. It was as if it had really happened.
He dreamed that Baocheng had grown into a middle-aged man. He was arrogant and willful, and did not take his words and orders seriously.
He treated his brothers harshly, even formed a clique for personal gain, and contacted important officials of the previous dynasty to suppress his brothers who had already come to the court.
He even dreamed that Baocheng wanted to secretly ascend the throne while he was on tour.
Many scenes flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, and he tried to grasp them but couldn't.
While struggling, he suddenly woke up.
He looked around and found that Yinreng and Yinzhi were sitting and talking not far away, while Liang Jiugong was nowhere to be found.
"Baocheng, Uncle Five and Uncle Seven have already imposed martial law. General Bahai of Ningguta has also brought his troops to protect the emperor."
Yinreng nodded. "The Emperor's illness came suddenly, and he has a persistent high fever. It's very dangerous if it continues like this."
Yinzhi looked at Yinreng and said, "You need to rest more. The Emperor values you the most. If the Emperor wakes up and finds you exhausted, he will definitely feel distressed."
Yinreng glared at him and said, "Listen to what you are saying. You are full of sour taste."
Yinzhi chuckled softly, "If I was jealous, it was in the past, not now."
Yinreng was puzzled, "Why?"
Yinzhi took a sip of tea and said, "I used to feel unfair. Why did the Emperor value you more than his sons? But now I understand. Everyone has preferences. It's impossible to treat everyone equally. Not to mention that you were born as the Crown Prince and needed to be well nurtured from a young age. Just think about it. After I get married, it's impossible for me to love all my children equally. I'm sure I'll have some preferences."
"What's more, although the Emperor favors you, to be honest, he's also very kind to me. Perhaps it's because he's the eldest son, or perhaps it's because he has a good relationship with you, but the Emperor is very kind to me. I'm content."
Yinreng was really surprised to see Yinzhi say these words in a calm tone.
In his memory, the boss in his previous life was still the big brother who was always nitpicking towards him, and even showed off any rewards he received in front of him.
But now... times have really changed.
"A while ago, the Emperor asked me about Taiwan. Do you have any thoughts?"
Yinreng changed the subject.
Yinzhi was a little puzzled, "What idea?"
After thinking for a moment, Yinreng said, "With Yao Qisheng and Li Guangdi joining forces with Admiral Shi Lang, we should be able to retake Taiwan within the next two years. Would you like to take this opportunity to train yourself?"
Yinzhi glared at Yinreng and said, "You want me to collect military merits? Do you look down on me too much?"
Yinreng chuckled, "I just want to help my elder brother. After all, Mingzhu has been persistent in recommending herself to the Emperor."
Yinzhi curled his lips, patted Yinreng's shoulder and said, "Take my advice. It's good to have Yao Qisheng and Shi Lang on this matter, but don't send Mingzhu. He will definitely interfere in order to show off his own achievements, which is really unnecessary. After the success, the Han people will laugh at us, thinking that we Manchus have no other abilities but are always eager to take credit."
Yinreng couldn't help but laugh softly, "If I don't go, the only military merit I can get in the next few years is probably pursuing Wu Shifan."
Yinzhi thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely not get involved in the Taiwan issue. I simply don't have the face to participate. As for pursuing Wu Shifan...we'll see the situation. His grandfather left him such a mess before his death. He will be defeated sooner or later. Even if we don't pursue him, Wu Sangui's subordinates may not be convinced."
"If the Emperor is willing to let me train with my uncles, then I will go. If not, I won't force you. My goal is to conquer the northern desert and unify Mongolia. I hope that the next generation of princesses and princesses will no longer have to go to Mongolia to pacify the Mongols."
Kangxi's mind gradually became clear, and he was filled with excitement as he listened to Yinzhi's words.
"Okay, big brother, you have ambitions, and I will fully support you."
As the two brothers were talking, Concubine Hui came in with some food.
When Kangxi saw someone coming in, for some reason, he closed his eyes instantly.
When Concubine Hui came in, she first glanced at Kangxi. Seeing that he was still asleep, she walked to Yinreng.
"The Emperor is currently unconscious. Although the court is still unaware of this situation, all those who have come with him are clearly aware of it. Therefore, Your Highness, you must take good care of yourself at this time. You are the backbone of everyone. Regardless of the Emperor's condition, you must remain calm."
Yinreng knew that Concubine Hui was doing this for his own good, and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Concubine Hui, Baocheng will take good care of himself."
Concubine Hui nodded. "You've been guarding here for a whole day. Go back and rest first, or take her on a patrol. You can't just stay in the tent all the time."
Yinreng understood and stood up, bowing, saying, "Baocheng will go for a round of inspection first, and then return to the tent to rest. I will leave the Emperor's care to Empress Hui."
Concubine Hui nodded, and Yinreng left.
After he left, Concubine Hui pulled Yinzhi to sit down and said earnestly, "Baoqing, you can see the current situation. The emperor has been in a coma for several days. We don't know when he will wake up, let alone if he will wake up. Now we must stabilize the situation so that we can stabilize everyone else."
Yinzhi nodded, "Don't worry, mother, your son knows everything."
Concubine Hui was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Mother can see that you and the Crown Prince have a truly good relationship, and that you are truly a brotherly and respectful relationship. So Mother also wants to say something: if you truly wish to assist the Crown Prince for the rest of your life, then you must protect him at this critical moment. The Emperor's serious illness has already shaken the military's morale. If even the Crown Prince is in danger..."
"Don't worry, mother. I am willing to assist Baocheng for the rest of my life. I will take good care of Baocheng and you, too."
Concubine Hui nodded with tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice: "Mother knows that you have been wronged... Mother knows everything..."
After a moment's silence, Yinzhi said, "Mother, things in this world are beyond our control. As the eldest son of a concubine, I am able to live peacefully in the palace and be so close to Baocheng. It is already a rare opportunity. I am very satisfied and do not feel wronged."
Concubine Hui nodded and patted his shoulder. "Good boy, you should go back and rest. Take your soldiers and protect the Crown Prince. I will leave this to you."
Yinzhi nodded heavily, wiped his misty eyes, and then left with his head held high.
