Then, Yinzhen disregarded everything and the two switched positions. The effects of the drug took hold, and it was unclear how long it lasted before Yinzhen finally stopped.
When he stopped, Tong Cheng'er was already unconscious, lying on the bed like a lump of mud, her body covered in filth, a sight that made one's face burn.
Yinzhen said, "Someone, prepare water."
Hot water was always kept on hand. Su Peisheng stood guard outside the door, listening to the sounds inside. He couldn't be careless at all. Only when he heard his master's voice did Su Peisheng's heart finally settle down.
Su Peisheng quickly led people to carry water into the room, and soon the bath tub in the quiet room was full of hot water. Yinzhen left two maids to tidy up the bed, told the rest of the people to leave, and then carefully picked up the little princess and began to wash her.
Two people in one bathtub. Yinzhen dutifully washed them both clean, carried them out, changed them into clean clothes, and placed Tong Cheng'er on the newly made bed.
Tong Cheng'er is still unconscious; she must be really exhausted.
Yinzhen felt quite distressed. Under the influence of the medicine, he was acting somewhat recklessly today, unlike usual. He felt better, but he was afraid that his little princess was really hurt.
Yinzhen kissed Tong Cheng'er's forehead and nose tenderly, covered her with a blanket, and then left the room.
Yinzhen summoned Rulan to guard the young consort before calling Su Peisheng.
"Where is the imperial physician?"
"I was afraid something might happen, so I left the imperial physician behind. Would Your Highness like to see him?"
"Bring the person here."
"yes."
Su Peisheng quickly led the person to the small study. Inside the study, Yinzhen asked the imperial physician, "Tell me about your pulse diagnosis."
The imperial physician told the truth: "The prince has been drugged with an aphrodisiac."
Yinzhen asked, feigning ignorance, "Then why did I faint?"
The imperial physician was also puzzled. Logically, one shouldn't fall into a coma after being drugged with aphrodisiacs, but he did. After thinking for a moment, the crown prince said, "Perhaps the drug Your Highness was drugged with is unusual and has a strong effect, which is why you fell into a coma."
Yinzhen then asked, "Will that affect my health?"
The imperial physician thought for a moment and finally said, "This potent medicine is not a good medicine to begin with, and since the prince has fainted as a result, it will naturally have some impact on his health."
Yinzhen was satisfied upon hearing this: "If Father asks, just tell the truth."
The imperial physician now understood Yinzhen's intention: "This servant will certainly tell Your Majesty the truth."
Yinzhen: "Thank you for keeping watch over me today, Imperial Physician. It's late and the dew is heavy. Su Peisheng, please escort the Imperial Physician back."
Su Peisheng: "Yes, Master."
Imperial Physician: "This servant takes his leave."
Su Peisheng: "Please, Prince Zhang."
Su Peisheng escorted the imperial physician back, and the small study suddenly fell silent. Yinzhen rubbed his head, feeling somewhat tired.
Then he got up and went back to his room. Looking at his little princess sleeping soundly on the bed, Yinzhen curled the corners of his mouth, then took off his clothes, lay down next to her, pulled her into his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Therefore, he brought some imperial physicians with him on his trip to Jiangnan, but due to limited carriages and horses, it was impossible to bring the entire Imperial Medical Academy.
The imperial physicians didn't bring many, and Su Peisheng sent people in a great hurry, so the news naturally reached Kangxi's ears.
Yinzhen was taking the medicine at night, while Kangxi was still in bed, busy asking about matters in Jiangnan. After dismissing an official, Liang Jiugong came over with a pale face and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong has sent someone to fetch the imperial physician, saying that Prince Yong has fainted."
When Kangxi heard that Yinzhen had fainted, his mind went blank; this was one of the things he feared most.
He asked anxiously, "Do you know what happened?"
Liang Jiugong naturally knew some of it; what he knew was something Su Peisheng had specifically asked someone to reveal to him.
"The Crown Prince invited all the princes to drink today. Prince Yong probably drank wine that had been spiked, and for some reason he suddenly fainted. The imperial physician has already gone there."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi roughly understood where the problem lay.
However, this matter is not easy to discuss. He simply said, "Go and inquire carefully. I need to know the details of the banquet."
"Yes, sir."
After giving this instruction, Kangxi also sent people to guard Yinzhen's courtyard.
Kangxi was relieved only after learning that Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er had been having sex. It seemed that this time he wouldn't remain unconscious for several days.
While Yinzhen was "exercising" in his room, Kangxi also stayed up. It wasn't until late at night that Kangxi received news that Yinzhen had left his room to see the imperial physician.
Kangxi was relieved and then instructed Liang Jiugong to bring the imperial physician over.
The imperial physician was taken to Emperor Kangxi's residence as soon as he came out of Yinzhen's courtyard. The physician knelt on the ground trembling with fear.
Kangxi asked, "How is Yinzhen's health?"
The imperial physician naturally told the truth: "Prince Yong was poisoned by a potent drug. I estimate that the dosage was a bit too high, which is why Prince Yong fell into a coma. Now, after some treatment, and after examining his pulse, he only needs some recuperation."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi said, "You will be in charge of Yinzhen's post-natal care."
“Zha”
When the imperial physician left, Liang Jiugong saw him off. As they parted, Liang Jiugong specifically said, "Imperial Physician Zhang should also know that this is not a trivial matter. I believe Imperial Physician Zhang knows what he can and cannot say."
Physician Zhang naturally knew what was going on, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Prince Yong had a sudden fever in the middle of the night, but after treatment he is now much better. What does Steward Liang think?"
Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "It must have been hard for Physician Zhang to get up in the middle of the night, so I won't see you off any further."
Only then did Physician Zhang turn and leave. On his way back, he breathed a sigh of relief. To go back and forth like this in the middle of the night—it's going to shorten his lifespan!
