Chapter 129 Chenghu Awakens
Yes.
Chenghu woke up.
Not only did he wake up, but his body also recovered completely.
Such a miracle astonished the imperial physicians.
They took each person's pulse, but couldn't find anything wrong with them.
When Kangxi arrived, Chenghu was already sitting and leaning against the headboard.
Despite not eating for several days and nights, the little boy was full of energy.
That's truly surprising.
"Chenghu, is there anything that's bothering you?" Kangxi came to the bed and examined his son from head to toe.
Chenghu's eyes held emotions he had never shown before.
But he hid it quickly, and Kangxi thought he was just seeing things.
"Father, Chenghu is alright. I'm sorry to have worried you." Chenghu, regaining his usual obedient and sensible demeanor, comforted Kangxi.
"Father, where is Mother?" Chenghu looked around but couldn't see his beloved mother, so he asked.
Emperor Kangxi saw everything he did and was quite pleased, at least his son was a filial son.
"You've been unconscious for several days, and your Empress Mother has been watching over you the whole time. Your Father has told your Empress Mother to go and rest. She will come to be with you when she wakes up. She will be very happy to see you awake."
I patted the top of his head and explained to him softly.
Upon hearing that his mother had stayed by his side for several days and nights, Chenghu immediately felt sorry for her. "Then let your mother rest more. I'm fine now."
"Alright, Father Emperor will stay with you." He still remembered what the Imperial Observatory had said before: defy fate.
Does Chenghu's awakening prove that he has successfully changed his fate?
The thought of Chenghu dying young pained him. He had watched this child grow up and had put a lot of effort into him. If what the Imperial Astronomical Bureau said was true, Kangxi felt he could not accept this outcome.
Let alone him, I'm afraid the Empress will be even more heartbroken.
"Yes, thank you, Father Emperor."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my son. What's wrong with me keeping you company? Alright, you just woke up. I'll have someone prepare some food for you. The imperial physician said you can only eat liquids."
The close relationship between the father and son was something no one else could witness, but the servants in Kunning Palace were all very happy to see the Emperor personally taking care of the eldest prince.
At least when princes and princesses are sick, only their young master receives personal care from the emperor.
Seeing that Chenghu was safe and sound, Xiaofeng hid herself in a tree and then entered her spatial dimension to recuperate.
This was quite a drain on resources, and I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in a short time.
If only it could bite the dragon spirit, it would restore half of its health.
Unfortunately, the owner wouldn't allow it.
After Fanghua fainted, she had a series of nightmares, including scenes of Chenghu's early death in her previous life and Yinreng being disliked by Kangxi.
Seeing that both of her sons met tragic ends, she woke up from a nightmare.
"Chenghu!" he cried out, startled awake.
"Your Majesty."
Qiaoling, who was guarding Fanghua, immediately lifted the bed curtains. When she saw that her mistress was covered in sweat, she knew that her mistress had had a nightmare.
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness, it's all a dream, it's all fake," she whispered to comfort her, gently patting her back, trying to drive away the nightmares.
Fanghua snapped out of her shock. "Where's Chenghu? Is Chenghu awake?" All she wanted to do was see Chenghu as soon as possible and not have the dream come true.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Prince Chenghu has woken up, and His Majesty is taking care of him now." Upon hearing this, Qiaoling hurriedly told her mistress the good news, not wanting her mistress to worry any longer.
Upon hearing that her son had woken up, Fanghua got out of bed without saying a word to visit him.
"I need to see Chenghu. Quickly help me change my clothes."
Qiaoling used a little trick to stop her mistress, and said with a hint of heartache, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor is with the prince. Your Majesty should take a bath first. You just worked up a sweat. What if you catch a cold?"
Fanghua initially wanted to refuse Qiaoling's suggestion, but then, as if remembering something, she stopped what she was doing and nodded, "Alright, go fetch the water. I'll bathe and change before I go see Chenghu."
She remembered that she hadn't slept for several days and had a strong smell of medicine on her body; she really needed to wash up.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will go right away."
Qiaoling didn't need to do such rough work as carrying water herself. She went out to give an order, and then came back in to serve the Empress.
After serving tea, helping the lady to the toilet, and other trivial matters, the maid who fetched water also prepared the water in the bathroom.
"Your Majesty may now take a bath."
Fanghua felt a wave of comfort as she was enveloped in hot water. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, feeling much lighter.
Soaking in the bathtub, Qiaoling helped her wash her body. Fanghua closed her eyes and called out to Xiaofeng. These days, she and Xiaofeng had been by Chenghu's side, just in case something happened.
She's not here now, but Xiao Feng is definitely here. You can't go wrong asking her about Cheng Hu's affairs.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng."
But it was Xiaofeng's weak voice that answered Fanghua.
"Master, I'm here."
"Xiaofeng, what's wrong?" Fanghua noticed Xiaofeng's change immediately. "What happened after I fell asleep?"
Without realizing it, Fanghua's tone became urgent.
"Where is Chenghu? Is Chenghu alright?" Although she knew Chenghu had woken up, she remembered what Xiaofeng had said earlier. Could it be that her Chenghu hadn't succeeded in changing his fate?
"Master, don't worry, the young master is fine. He has successfully changed his fate and has also received great fortune. This matter cannot be explained in a short time. Master, please wait until Xiao Feng recovers before telling you, okay? Xiao Feng needs to rest now."
Fanghua panicked, "Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Feng knew that if she didn't explain, her master would worry unnecessarily. "I'm fine. I just used some of my essence to help my master change his fate, and I was struck down by the Heavenly Dao. I'll be fine after some time to recuperate. Master, I'm about to die. I'll go into a deep sleep now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Feng fainted in the space. Fang Hua entered the space with her divine sense and saw Xiao Feng's true form in the sky repairing itself.
She knew that Xiao Feng must have been seriously hurt by Cheng Hu's attempt to change his fate.
However, it's good that they can be raised back to health.
After watching over Xiao Feng for a while and seeing that it really wouldn't wake up, Fanghua left the space.
Just then, Qiaoling outside finished washing her up.
She went to the back hall with her hair down, not even drying it properly.
Since Chenghu fell ill, she has refused to be visited by anyone except the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
She wasn't afraid of being seen in this state and losing her royal dignity.
What Fanghua didn't know was that in Kangxi's eyes, this appearance was the heart of a loving mother, who disregarded her own needs and devoted all her attention to her child.
Because he himself didn't receive much maternal love growing up, he particularly values the attention his mother gives to her children.
Not for any other reason than the pure bond between mother and child.
At this moment, the Empress demonstrated this pure maternal affection.
"Chenghu, Chenghu, I'm so glad you're alright! You scared your mother to death! Don't scare your mother like that again!" Fanghua's tears fell involuntarily, showing how truly frightened Chenghu had been this time.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. It's good that Chenghu has woken up. If you continue like this, you'll frighten him." Seeing the Empress's reaction, Kangxi immediately stepped forward to separate her from Chenghu. Chenghu, who had just woken up, was not very strong, and the child must not be hurt.
If the child gets hurt, she'll feel bad about it later.
