Cheng Rui was very young to begin with, and after being ill for a long time, his condition worsened and became critical.
Although Yunyi gave him the Great Rejuvenation Pill, its effects are not immediate; it will take some time for the effects to take hold.
Therefore, the imperial physicians all said that the eldest prince was beyond saving. As a mother who loved her child dearly, Yunyi was naturally "heartbroken" and unwilling to believe it.
She could only place her hopes on the ethereal gods and Buddhas, hoping they would appear and save her child.
On the night of May 28th, Cheng Rui, who had been in a coma for several days, suddenly woke up and regained some energy.
Seeing this, Ruozhu's heart skipped a beat, and she thought of something unpleasant. However, seeing her master's joyful expression, she couldn't bear to voice her suspicions.
Yunyi hugged her son tightly, "Chengrui, my good son, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you."
Despite being physically weak, he forced himself to comfort his mother when he saw her worried expression.
Chengrui reached out and patted his mother's back. "Mother, don't worry. Chengrui has been taking his medicine obediently and will be fine soon. You should also take care to rest and not overwork yourself."
Touched by the child's comforting words, Yunyi pretended to be strong and forced a stiff smile. "Okay, okay, Mother doesn't worry. Chengrui is the best child in the world."
As she spoke, Yunyi was also somewhat moved, thinking that Chengrui was such a well-behaved and considerate child at such a young age.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that she had transmigrated, otherwise such a well-behaved child would have to... it would have been such a pity.
Emperor Kangxi had been paying close attention to news from Zhongcui Palace. Knowing that his son had finally woken up, and recalling what the imperial physicians had said in the past few days, he had a bad feeling.
With a heavy tone, he instructed Liang Jiugong beside him, "Liang Jiugong, prepare the carriage for Zhongcui Palace."
When Kangxi arrived at Zhongcui Palace, he happened to see Yunyi and her son comforting each other. He was both moved and saddened.
Touched by Chengrui's thoughtfulness and understanding, yet heartbroken that such a good little person had to...
The Kangxi Emperor at that time was not yet the majestic emperor he would later become; he was just a seventeen-year-old boy with a wealth of emotions.
Upon seeing this scene, his eyes welled up slightly, but remembering the teachings he had received, he suppressed these emotions and became an emperor who did not show his emotions. He then stepped into Zhongcui Palace.
Yunyi, with her sharp eyes, saw Kangxi walk in and happily held the child while bowing to him.
"Your Majesty, Chengrui has woken up, and he's in much better spirits today!"
Kangxi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, unnoticed by others.
He reached out and touched his son's forehead; it was still a little hot, but Cheng Rui was in good spirits.
This unusual situation further confirmed his suspicions, but seeing Ma Jia's joyful expression, he swallowed the words he was about to say and instead put on a smile.
"Yes, Chengrui is much more energetic and should recover soon, but it's still better to have the imperial physician examine him so you can feel more at ease."
Yunyi nodded, seemingly somewhat annoyed: "Your Majesty is right. I was so happy that I completely forgot about this."
When the imperial physician came and took his pulse, his complexion was not very good. Kangxi gave him a look and led the physician outside to talk.
Once outside, and after confirming that Lady Ma Jia could not hear the sounds coming from this side, Kangxi instructed the imperial physician to report.
"Your Majesty, the First Prince's illness is really not good, and I am powerless to help him!"
Kangxi clenched and unclenched his fist, but in the end he said nothing, only whispering, "Alright, do your best!"
Just then, Ruozhu, the head palace maid beside Yunyi, ran out anxiously: "Your Majesty, please go in and take a look. The First Prince seems to be unwell."
Kangxi's expression changed, and he turned and walked into the inner room with the imperial physician. At this moment, Chengrui had fainted again, his face was burning red and he was covered in sweat. If the fever continued, his life would be in danger.
Upon seeing this, the imperial physician disregarded everything else and rushed forward to treat the eldest prince, but Chengrui's condition was too serious, and he had no good solutions.
In the end, Emperor Kangxi summoned all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy. One of them, Physician Liu, who was skilled in pediatric diseases, brought out his family's acupuncture technique, which might be worth a try.
However, he also made it clear beforehand that the dangers of this acupuncture technique were to be decided by Emperor Kangxi, and whether or not to use it would be up to him.
Looking at Ma Jia, who was crying her eyes out, Kangxi pondered for a moment and decided to let Physician Liu give it a try.
After making this decision, he hugged Ma Jia and gently comforted her, "It's alright, Cheng Rui is blessed by Heaven and will not leave us."
Although it was Physician Liu who performed the acupuncture treatment, Emperor Kangxi still had two other highly skilled physicians accompany him, just in case.
The waiting was agonizing, and Yunyi was extremely anxious. She decided to inform Emperor Kangxi and go to the small Buddhist hall to pray for her son.
Emperor Kangxi naturally granted his request, and he went along with him.
Time passed second by second, but the news from Ruozhu was not good. Yunyi suppressed her sadness and forced herself to continue praying.
Emperor Kangxi left first because he had to attend court.
As the night passed, news of the bad news about the eldest prince Chengrui, born to Lady Ma Jia, spread throughout the palace, along with the news that she, with her loving motherly heart, had prayed for her son all night.
Finally, at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, the eldest prince Chengrui's fever subsided, and his health gradually returned to normal.
Even the imperial physician Liu, who administered the acupuncture, was surprised, never expecting that the eldest prince could survive such a dangerous situation.
After administering acupuncture last night, he almost gave up, but unexpectedly, the eldest prince recovered from the critical condition, which greatly pleased Physician Liu. After this, his status in the Imperial Hospital should be promoted.
After the eldest prince Chengrui's condition stabilized, Yunyi fell ill due to exhaustion and took a full month to recover.
During her time recuperating, she also took care of her son's health.
Cheng Rui was born when the original owner of this body and Emperor Kangxi were only twelve or thirteen years old. Both parents were still children, and their bodies were not fully developed. How could their child be healthy?
Although Cheng Rui survived this ordeal thanks to the Great Rejuvenation Pill, his health is still not very good. He will need Yun Yi to take good care of him so that he can grow up healthily.
A month later, after Yunyi had fully recovered, she reappeared before the concubines in the harem.
