"Father Emperor? What brings you here?" Yinzhen was clearly taken aback when he saw Kangxi. Shouldn't he be very busy at this time?
"Of course I came to see you. You're still injured, so it's not too late to rest in the palace for a few days before returning home." Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with amusement. Was it really necessary for his father, the emperor, to be so surprised to come see his son? As he thought this, Kangxi suddenly remembered that he hadn't really paid much attention to his children in the past. Apart from Yinreng, he didn't seem to have paid much attention to his other sons.
"Well, then I thank you, Father Emperor." Yinzhen originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it and swallowed the words back.
"That's right. You should rest well. Just tell me if you need anything. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer." Kangxi's smile deepened, clearly satisfied with Yinzhen's answer. Although he would have been pleased if Yinzhen had made some excuse that was against the rules, he would still have been displeased.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will see you off." Yinzhen was about to get up.
"Hey! I told you to rest well, there's no need to get up and see me off. I still know the way." Kangxi reached out and pressed down on Yinzhen, his eyes smiling.
Yinzhen then lay down. After Kangxi left, Yinzhen put away his smile. Logically, his father should be sad and upset at this moment, since the child he raised had done such a thing. But why did he look at his father as if he was not sad at all?
Meanwhile, after leaving the palace where Yinzhen was resting, the smile on Kangxi's face quickly vanished, and he returned to the Qianqing Palace with a sullen expression.

Prince's Mansion
"Master Yin, don't worry. My godfather said that His Highness is fine. He just suffered some minor injuries and His Majesty has kept him in the palace to recuperate for a few days. He'll be back in a few days." Su Xiaobao grinned from ear to ear. The situation, which seemed like he was about to die, had suddenly turned out this way. How could he not be happy? Last night, he had already prepared himself to give up his life, but who would be willing to give up their life if they could avoid it?
"Okay, I understand. Remember to send in a few sets of clothes for the master. He's in such a hurry and doesn't even have any clean clothes to change into." Yin Qingyi nodded. As long as everything was alright, everything else was minor.
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Su Xiaobao bowed and withdrew.
As Yin Qingyi watched Su Xiaobao leave, she reached out and stroked her stomach, letting out a soft breath. It was impossible not to be scared that night; after all, she was just a mortal, and even with a cheat system, she was still worried. But now, everything was alright.
"Is Your Highness relieved now? Then hurry up and have your meal. After you're done, go and rest. You're carrying two babies now, so don't overexert yourself." Granny Qi said with a smile. No one in the manor slept all night, just in case the soldiers outside suddenly broke in. Even those of them who were used to staying up all night were finding it hard to bear, let alone Your Highness who was carrying two babies.
"Mmm." Yin Qingyi nodded; she was indeed both sleepy and hungry at the moment.
Yinzhen stayed in the palace for seven days. During these seven days, Kangxi purged all of Yinreng's old subordinates in court. This was the first time in many years that Kangxi had so ruthlessly reshuffled the entire court. Everyone, whether they had colluded with the deposed crown prince or not, was trembling with fear and dared not utter a sound, for fear of being affected by this storm. Therefore, the court was as quiet as a chicken for the past few days, and no one had anything to report.
On the seventh day, Yinzhen took the initiative to ask to return to his residence. After Kangxi consulted with the imperial physician and confirmed that Yinzhen was indeed alright, he agreed.
No sooner had Yinzhen left the palace than Kangxi issued an imperial edict.
When Yinzhen arrived at the mansion, the imperial edict also arrived.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: ... Now, Fourth Prince Yinzhen has rendered meritorious service in saving the Emperor, and is hereby granted the Yuanmingyuan Garden and promoted to Prince Yong. So be it! Prince Yong, receive the decree." After Liang Jiugong finished reading, he handed the imperial edict to Yinzhen with a smile.
"Your subject, Yinzhen, thanks Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" Yinzhen was overjoyed, and this joy was evident on his face. He respectfully bowed and accepted the imperial decree.
"Then I'll return to the palace to report," Liang Jiugong said before leaving with his men.
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!" After Liang Jiugong left, another round of congratulations rang out from the people in the front yard.
"Get up, everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Yinzhen was in a good mood and naturally generous to his subordinates.
"This servant thanks Your Majesty!" Sure enough, the servants below were even happier.
"Come on, let's go see your Master Yin's courtyard." Yinzhen didn't want to be alone at this moment; he wanted to share this joy with the little fox.
Luoxuexuan
Yin Qingyi sat lazily in the courtyard. Today was a rare sunny day with no wind, and it was especially comfortable to bask in the sun. What a rare good day in October!
When Yinzhen arrived at Luoxue Pavilion, this was the scene he saw: the little woman was lying lazily on a chair, her eyes closed and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, looking just like a kitten sunbathing in the sun.
Yinzhen stopped the servants from speaking and quietly walked behind Yin Qingyi.
Yin Qingyi knew someone was coming from the change in the scent in the air. She originally planned to open her eyes to see who was so bold, but after the scent of ambergris hit her nose, she knew who it was, so she didn't open her eyes to see what this bastard was planning to do.
Yinzhen did nothing but sit next to Yin Qingyi and watch her. After not seeing her for a few days, he felt that this little woman had lost weight.
Yinzhen's gaze was so aggressive that Yin Qingyi finally couldn't help but open her eyes.
"What? You don't recognize me after a few days?" Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Yin Qingyi had opened her eyes but remained silent.
"Your Highness has lost weight." Yin Qingyi reached out and touched Yinzhen's face, her eyes showing concern. These past seven days in the palace must have been tough for him.
"You've lost weight too. Have you not been eating properly?" Yinzhen helped Yin Qingyi up, his voice gentle.
"Well, there's something I haven't told you. I wanted to tell you the day you entered the palace, but then I thought I'd distract you, so I didn't." Yin Qingyi smiled as she took Yinzhen's hand and placed it on his lower abdomen.
"You...you mean?" Yinzhen was still a little confused, but Yin Qingyi's actions made Yinzhen understand immediately. He looked at Yin Qingyi, stammering, his eyes shining.
"Yes, only two months." A blush appeared on Yin Qingyi's face.
"Hahaha, I'm going to be a father again? Qingqing, I'm going to be a father again!" Yinzhen was so happy that he wanted to pick up Yin Qingyi, but then he put her down again when he thought about her current body and stood there happily spinning around.
