"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Baoqin already had a slight stutter, and with her anxiety, her tongue became even more slurred.
"You silly girl, what's with the imperial title?" Holland and Lanqin exchanged a glance, suppressing their displeasure as they asked.
"It's the Emperor, Your Excellency! And the Fourth Prince and the others." Baoqin finally managed to get her thoughts out. She then let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the door to catch her breath.
"The Emperor is here!!" Holland repeated in disbelief. Lanqin, who was beside Holland, didn't care about anything else at this moment and rushed out from Holland. She ran to the door and saw that Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Prince were coming towards them, attended by two eunuchs.
"This servant greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be well!" Lanqin immediately bowed to the approaching Emperor Kangxi.
"Get up, is the situation in Holland better now?" Kangxi had already learned from the prefect of Jinan Prefecture that the situation in Holland had improved when he arrived at the prefect's residence.
"Your Majesty, my sister is much better. I was just walking with her!" Lanqin said truthfully.
Although she was speaking to Emperor Kangxi, her eyes had already passed over him and were looking at the resolute-looking man beside her.
"I'm going to take a look at the Netherlands. You can do as you please." With that, he stepped over the high threshold and went inside.
The Fourth Master stood there watching Lanqin, the two gazing at each other as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Is Master back?" Lanqin finally managed to ask, unable to bear the awkward silence any longer.
"Master is back. Does your Lan'er miss you?" Although Fourth Master still had an icy demeanor, the words he spoke to Lanqin surprised Su Peisheng.
"Master, I miss you so much~" Lanqin said sweetly as she threw herself into his arms when he suddenly changed the subject.
"Princess, your servant is still here, okay?" Su Peisheng watched the two of them being all lovey-dovey. Although he was used to being a wooden stake, he still couldn't quite get used to seeing Lanqin taking the initiative to pounce on him like this.
Nianxue was much more used to it than Su Peisheng. When she saw Lanqin rush into Fourth Master's arms, she automatically lowered her head, turned her back, and refused to look at them.
"Where did you miss me?" Fourth Master said with a deliberately cold face, because he just liked seeing the little princess looking anxious.
"I'm thinking about this, and this, and that, I'm thinking about when Master will return victorious!" Lanqin's little mouth was as sweet as honey.
Su Peisheng and Nianxue exchanged a glance, their eyes clearly saying: Princess Lanqin really knows how to act cute.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from inside the room, interrupting the conversation between the two people outside. The Fourth Prince immediately lifted his robe and went into the room, where he saw Kangxi clutching his head in great pain.
"Father, what's wrong?" the Fourth Prince asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious, just that I sometimes experience acute pain. Go and summon Physician Meng." Kangxi was sitting by the Dutch bed.
"Your Majesty, your safety is directly related to the safety of the nation. Your son wishes to seek out a doctor in Jinan known as the 'Miracle Doctor.' I will go and invite him to treat Your Majesty's headache," the Fourth Prince said.
Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong, who quickly shook his head, indicating that he hadn't said anything.
"Very well, I will rest here with the Dutch for a few days. You may go now. However, this matter should not be publicized, and it is best not to let that doctor know my identity," Kangxi instructed.
