Chapter 128 Defying Fate
“Master, this matter cannot be explained in a short time. You just need to give the young master spiritual spring water every day until the young master wakes up and everything will be fine.” Xiao Feng did not expect Cheng Hu to awaken his spiritual root.
I don't know if this is the will of Heaven. If it is, then it is an unparalleled destiny.
If not, then it's hard to say.
An early death may be unchangeable.
"Spiritual spring water, right? Okay, I understand." Ever since Chenghu fell into a coma due to a high fever, Fanghua has been taking care of him personally, doing everything herself.
Aside from adding some to her pills, taking it herself, and watering her peonies, she hasn't used the spiritual spring in her space. It's still full, and she's not worried about running out.
For seven consecutive days, Fanghua took care of the unconscious Chenghu without taking off her clothes.
Emperor Kangxi summoned all the imperial physicians to Kunning Palace. Chenghu drank a lot of medicine, but he still did not wake up.
Not to mention Fanghua, even Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager were extremely anxious.
The Empress Dowager visited Chenghu at Kunning Palace every day to comfort the Empress and inquire with the imperial physicians, but unfortunately, there was no progress whatsoever.
Emperor Kangxi would come to watch over them every day after court. Seeing his son, who was unconscious on the bed, and the empress, who was getting thinner and thinner, he was very worried and heartbroken.
"Fang'er, our Chenghu will definitely be alright, but if you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it when Chenghu wakes up. Fang'er, listen to me, go and rest for a while. I'll stay here and watch over you."
Emperor Kangxi felt very sorry for the Empress and called her by a name he hadn't used in a long time.
Fanghua ignored him and held Chenghu's hand tightly, afraid that something might happen to him.
Seeing her like this, Kangxi could only sigh.
Later, even the imperial physicians said that if the Empress continued like this, she might not be able to hold on. So, when Kangxi came over that day, he knocked the Empress unconscious with a single chop to the neck.
"Hurry up and serve her! Are you trying to make your mistress suffer financially?" Seeing the servants who dared not move, Kangxi roared angrily.
This finally brought everyone back to their senses.
Zhang Mama and Qiaoling immediately followed the Emperor to his bedchamber.
Qiaoyun and Li Changfu stayed behind. Although Granny Ji and Xiang'an and Xiangxia were there, they were worried about not keeping an eye on things. They would have to be able to answer the master's questions if he woke up.
After Fanghua was knocked unconscious by Kangxi, Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her master's body was not a soul body now. If this continued, she was afraid that her master would collapse before her little master woke up.
Now it's all good, at least the owner can finally rest.
Chenghu's body changed on the eighth day.
He had a high fever, followed by chills all over his body. Before the imperial physicians could come up with a solution, Chenghu's breath froze around his mouth and nose.
Xiao Feng was now in a hurry.
It discovered that Chenghu had awakened two spiritual roots that were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.
One is ice, the other is fire.
But ice is also a type of water, and water and fire don't mix. If this continues, the little master's body might not be able to withstand it.
Without saying a word, Xiao Feng directly used the power of the Phoenix Seal to eliminate his icy body.
Whether it was something that offended the heavens or not, just as it disappeared, thunder roared in the sky, and lightning as thick as trees lingered in the sky, howling as if it had discovered some evil spirit.
All the thunderclouds were concentrated above Kunning Palace.
Such a phenomenon was truly frightening, and Emperor Kangxi immediately summoned the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to investigate.
It wasn't that he thought there was anything wrong with the people living in Kunning Palace, but rather that he was worried about the Empress and Chenghu.
The Imperial Observatory arrived very quickly.
But when he arrived, he gave a clear answer.
His fingers flew across the keyboard, but no matter how much he calculated, he came up with no result.
He did want to make one up, but the people living in Kunning Palace were not people he could just make up.
"How is it?" Kangxi looked at the increasingly majestic thunder in the sky, his brows furrowed and his hands clenched into fists.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot calculate anything." The chief of the Imperial Observatory was sweating profusely and knelt on the ground.
"Do you know whether this is a disaster or a calamity?" Kangxi's voice was low and somber, but his words sent chills down everyone's spines.
Is this an attempt to blame the Empress for this?
Or perhaps it was Prince Chenghu.
Fortunately, there aren't many people here, otherwise who knows what kind of gossip would spread.
"Your Majesty, this thunder is neither a calamity nor a disaster; rather, I feel it is defying fate." The Imperial Observatory was indeed quite capable.
Even while kneeling and prostrating himself, his fingers never stopped calculating.
Just after the emperor spoke, he actually calculated a little bit of it.
I just don't know who should be blamed for this.
Kunning Palace only has two masters, either the Empress or the First Prince, but he couldn't figure out who it was.
"But I cannot determine who it is."
Kangxi closed his eyes.
Chenghu has been unconscious for eight days, and Lei Yun just arrived. The Empress had been taking care of Chenghu, and it was only when he arrived that she knocked him unconscious.
Therefore, the Empress is out of the question, so the only option is Chenghu.
"Calculate Chenghu's birth chart to see if there will be any changes." Although Emperor Kangxi was an emperor, he was still quite superstitious.
Thinking of his eldest son, who had been in a coma for eight days, he naturally had some suspicions.
"yes."
At this point, Lord Liu of the Imperial Observatory dared not refuse and immediately began to calculate.
The more I calculated, the more alarmed I became.
Life is as fragile as paper, easily dispensable.
How could this be?
For a moment, he dared not move his kneeling legs.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the First Prince... he's changing his fate." Such thunder could only have been summoned by the First Prince, who had been unconscious for half a month.
"Change fate?" Kangxi was taken aback. "Explain in detail."
The Imperial Astronomical Bureau immediately revealed the hexagram they had calculated.
Emperor Kangxi was the first to disbelieve it.
"impossible."
His fate was destined to die young, his life as fragile as paper; how could this possibly be the destiny of his and the Empress's eldest son?
“Chenghu is the eldest son of my Great Qing Dynasty, how could he have such a frail fate? Are you mistaken?” Upon hearing this, Kangxi took two steps back, looking at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, and refused to believe it no matter what.
As the emperor, all his children were princes and grandsons; how could he be considered ill-fated?
"Your Majesty, the First Prince is trying to change his fate. If he succeeds, everything will start anew." Lord Liu was also extremely alarmed at this moment.
I wonder what kind of fate this eldest prince will have.
"This matter must not be revealed to anyone, or I will exterminate your entire family." Kangxi roared.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will not utter a single word of this."
The thunderclouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, as if the thunder was about to strike.
Dark clouds loomed over the city, a truly terrifying sight.
They waited and waited, but the golden sun that should have been hanging high in the sky had long since disappeared.
Not a ray of light could penetrate it.
Xiao Feng tried her best to eliminate the increasing ice spirit root.
And its very essence also became nothingness.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder gradually subsided, and the dark sky slowly began to brighten.
Just when everyone thought it was over, a deafening clap of thunder startled them into a frenzy.
Lightning followed, flashing for a long time in the dark clouds, until the golden crow reappeared, and the thunder's power dissipated from heaven and earth.
The sun finally rose again, and the light brought hope to everyone.
Just then, Li Changfu ran from the back hall, shouting loudly that the eldest prince had woken up.
Kangxi turned and headed towards Chenghu's sleeping quarters.
Lord Liu dared not linger and got up to follow.
