Because Prince Yu and the Emperor had a deep brotherly bond, the Fourth Prince, in order to avoid being accused of trying to win over Prince Yu, always maintained a superficial acquaintance with him.
However, now that Prince Yu is ill, the Emperor has even personally left the palace to visit him at his residence. With such importance attached to him, it would be disrespectful for the princes to neglect him.
During this time, the Fourth Prince also met Prince Gong Changning a few times at Prince Yu's residence. This man was not young either. The Fourth Prince remembered that this imperial uncle was only three or four years younger than his father, and in another three or four years, he would be over fifty years old.
Like his uncle, Prince Yu, the Fourth Prince had no contact with Prince Gong. However, he noticed that his uncle looked unwell on several occasions when he encountered him at Prince Yu's residence. He even hinted once that his uncle should ask the imperial physician to take a look when he had time.
As for Prince Yu, Fuquan, the Fourth Prince visited several times but only met him once. The only time he met him was when he was bedridden. On the other occasions when the Fourth Prince came to visit, the servants at the Imperial Uncle's residence said that he either fell asleep after taking medicine or was simply not in good spirits.
Both sides imply that guests cannot be received.
However, whenever the Emperor sent his chief eunuch Liang Jiugong to visit him in the palace, the Imperial Uncle would still visit him despite his illness.
However, the Fourth Master watched coldly, feeling somewhat troubled inside.
He had also heard about the Crown Prince's affair. Whether he believed it or not didn't really matter. After all, even if he didn't believe it, it was hard to change the fact that his father, the Emperor, believed it.
Nowadays, it's incredibly difficult for anyone to visit the Crown Prince at Yuqing Palace, as it's not easy to enter or leave the palace.
The Fourth Prince now makes an appointment with the Fifth Prince to visit Prince Yu's residence every few days. The Fourth Prince did not make an appointment with the Third Prince. The Third Prince visits Prince Yu's residence frequently, almost every day, regardless of wind or rain, and stays for most of the day. I wonder what he is doing visiting Prince Yu so frequently when he can't see him every day.
Fourth Prince usually finishes his duties at the Ministry of Revenue a day in advance, and then visits Prince Yu the following day.
The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy stayed directly at Prince Yu's residence.
However, Prince Yu's health did not improve much. In June, around the eighth day, Prince Yu Fuquan suddenly began coughing up blood, which greatly worried the imperial physicians.
Soon the Emperor also received the news, and the Emperor himself visited Prince Yu's residence once again.
Unfortunately, the Ministry of Revenue had an important matter to attend to that day, and the Fourth Prince was not at the Prince Yu's residence.
I heard that the Emperor was holding Prince Yu's hand, feeling very sad and almost in tears, while Prince Gong was also weeping uncontrollably.
Fuquan, in the end, still passed away before his younger brother, the Emperor.
However, the Imperial Medical Academy went to great lengths, with each member using every trick in the book, and finally managed to keep Prince Yu's life hanging by a thread.
According to the imperial physician, his life has been saved for the time being, but only for the next two years.
It's all thanks to Prince Yu being born into the imperial family, otherwise...
Because of this incident, the birthday celebration of the Third Prince of the Fourth Prince's mansion was far from lively, and there wasn't even a table set up at the Qing Courtyard as a token gesture.
The Fujin was also busy. Prince Yu had fallen ill, and the Fourth Prince wanted to visit him, so she was naturally busy visiting and comforting his primary Fujin, Xiluke.
It just so happens that the Third Prince's birthday falls around the time when Prince Yu is seriously ill and coughing up blood. Naturally, the Princess Consort is too lazy to care about the Third Prince's birthday. Moreover, there are the instructions from the palace ladies to keep it low-key. So she simply rewards the Third Prince more generously and has the kitchen set up a feast in the Third Prince's room, and that's all.
With the situation outside so complex, the Princess Consort's eyes and mind are naturally focused on the storms outside.
Now that the Crown Prince has lost power, the Emperor has twice gone out of the palace to greet Prince Yu, and both times he was accompanied by Prince Zhi. Although this doesn't necessarily mean anything, some people with ulterior motives will think too much about it.
Now everyone outside says that Prince Yu fell ill because of the curse from the Crown Prince at Yuqing Palace, because the Crown Prince was dissatisfied with His Majesty's favor towards Prince Yu... and also suspected that Prince Yu spoke ill of the Crown Prince...
There are all sorts of opinions, both left and right.
The Hesheli clan, including Lady Suo'etu, visited Prince Yu's residence daily, which dispelled some of the rumors about the Crown Prince's curse, but the rumors did not completely disappear.
If Prince Yu's health continues to deteriorate day by day, the Crown Prince will likely be reprimanded by His Majesty again.
Right now, the people who are most hoping for Prince Yu's recovery are probably the Crown Prince's faction.
