With Kangxi's words, Yinzhen could proceed with his plans with peace of mind.
Two days later, Yinzhen fainted. All the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital came to see him, but they still couldn't diagnose the cause of his illness. In the end, Kangxi had a living Buddha invited to the hospital.
The Living Buddha entered the Fourth Prince's residence, looked around, and then said, "The Fourth Prince has a connection with Buddhism and should not linger in the mortal world. Unfortunately, he owes a debt of love in his past life, which he must repay in this life. All he needs to do is dismiss the concubines in the harem."
In closing, the Living Buddha lamented, "What a pity! What a pity!"
This Living Buddha was brought in by Emperor Kangxi. He originally only intended for him to put on a show, but the Living Buddha spoke with such sincerity that Emperor Kangxi almost believed him.
After asking again carefully, Kangxi learned that the Living Buddha wasn't lying. According to the Living Buddha, Yinzhen did indeed owe a debt of love to the Fourth Prince's wife, which is why he could only be with one person in this life.
This made Emperor Kangxi sigh, wondering how much debt Yinzhen owed his wife in his previous life.
After this incident, before Yinzhen could even speak, Kangxi immediately ordered that Li Shi, Wu Shi, and Song Yuerong be sent away.
When they received the imperial edict, the three of them were completely stunned.
The person who came to deliver the imperial edict this time was Liang Jiugong; Kangxi did not trust anyone else to do it.
Liang Jiugong looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "Ladies, please hurry up and pack your things. The carriage is waiting outside!"
The three women, surnamed Li, were puzzled. They spent all their time in the backyard and were not well-informed. Kangxi was the first to know this information, and they really didn't know why.
Li: "Why are you packing your things?"
Liang Jiugong explained, "The Living Buddha said that the Fourth Prince fainted because he has concubines in his harem. For the Fourth Prince's safety, please hurry, ladies."
The three were stunned. Even the quietest Wu was so shocked that her mind went completely blank.
How is the Fourth Prince's safety related to their existence?
After a while, Song Yuerong forced a smile and said to Liang Jiugong, "Eunuch Liang, could there be a mistake? Master is ill, and we are all very worried about him. We have been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers for him. How could it be that he fainted because of us?"
Li murmured in agreement, "Yes, how could that be?"
That sounds absurd.
Seeing their reaction, Liang Jiugong's expression changed, and his smile vanished instantly: "Ladies, please hurry up and pack your things. The carriage is waiting outside. I am here on His Majesty's orders to see you off. His Majesty is waiting for me to attend to him. I don't have much time. You only have one hour. The carriage will depart on time after one hour."
The three of them looked on, feeling as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.
So the three of them went to pack their things with unease.
An hour later, the three of them boarded the carriage on time.
Before leaving, Liang Jiugong gave each of them a wooden box.
“Three young ladies, there is enough food in here for you to survive before you go.”
After saying that, without waiting for them to speak, Liang Jiugong directly told the coachman, "Let's go."
The three people were sitting in three different carriages.
This marked the beginning of another chapter in her life.
A life that wasn't bad, and was even quite interesting.
Later, the three lived in very different places. From time to time, they could hear from the local official reports what the Fourth Prince and his wife had done, and they would think back to the days when they lived in the Fourth Prince's mansion.
Of course, that's a story for later. Right now, the three of them are still in the carriage, filled with unease and anxiety about the future, clutching the wooden box that is crucial to their survival, as the carriage wheels roll towards an unknown distance...
...
After the three of them left, Yinzhen immediately woke up. This was truly miraculous and quickly became the talk of the town.
There are all sorts of opinions, but the only thing that everyone agrees on is that the Fourth Princess Consort is truly a very lucky person, otherwise how could such good fortune have fallen on her!
The Emperor himself stepped in to explain that the Fourth Prince could only have one woman, the Fourth Consort, in his entire life. For a woman, this was an incredibly good thing.
Tong Cheng'er looked at the person who had just "woke up" and was a little confused.
"How did you deceive Father Emperor?"
Yinzhen was displeased: "How could I lie to Father Emperor!"
Tong Cheng'er didn't believe it: "Not lying? If I didn't lie, would Father Emperor follow you to do this? Everyone knows how much Father Emperor hates favoritism. If you don't lie, does that mean you really owe me a debt of love from your past life?"
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Perhaps I really do owe you one!"
Tong Cheng'er's eyes widened immediately: "Are you kidding me?"
She never even held a man's hand in her past life; she's repaying a debt of love!
"Anyway, it was said by the Living Buddha, who knows what the situation is..."
Yinzhen changed the subject, and Tong Cheng'er stopped dwelling on it, finally bringing peace to the backyard.
A few days later, Tong Cheng'er saw that the people below had made the mahjong set she had requested, so she took the mahjong set and the storybook to the Third Prince's wife.
When they arrived at the Third Prince's wife's place, they were immediately teased. Then, the Third Prince's wife sent someone to the backyard to invite two of the Third Prince's concubines over.
Originally, they were going to play cards, but Tong Cheng'er said, "Third Sister-in-law, I brought something with me today. It's similar to Mahjong, do you want to try it?"
Third Prince's Wife: "Then let's give it a try?!"
The result was naturally to give it a try.
When the Third Prince's concubine arrived, Tong Cheng'er had just had a mahjong set out.
The two concubines, seeing the Third Princess's smiling face, which was as radiant as a flower, respectfully greeted her and bowed.
The Third Princess was quite kind to the two of them. Tong Cheng'er explained the rules, which were indeed somewhat similar to Mahjong. They might not know how to play after hearing them, so the four of them sat down and started playing.
