"!!! This fourth prince! Sigh~ Well, the medicine that made the fourth prince come to me for can't be anything ordinary. Considering that Lady Yin gave birth to twins, it wouldn't be an insult to these medicines to give them to her." Kangxi was stunned at first, and after blowing his beard and glaring for a while, he said helplessly.
“Your Majesty is merciful. If the Prince came to you for medicine, it couldn’t be ordinary medicine. Your Majesty knew this, but you still granted his request. Your Majesty is just being kind to the Prince,” Liang Jiugong said with a smile.
"You know everything! You're so talkative." Kangxi glared at Liang Jiugong, but did not refute his words.
"This servant deserves to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me." Liang Jiugong knew that Kangxi was not really angry, but he still cooperated and begged for mercy.
"Go away, go away." Kangxi couldn't keep his serious face straight, and with a smile, he picked up a memorial and hit Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong smiled, picked up the memorial, and placed it on the table. The room fell silent again, save for the sound of Kangxi reviewing the memorial. Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, Kangxi put down his pen.
"This Lady Yin's status is too low; she is not worthy of my precious twin grandsons," Kangxi suddenly said, looking up.
“Isn’t this just a matter of His Majesty’s word? His Majesty should just consider it a favor to this Lady Yin, a blessing for her to give birth to twins.” Liang Jiugong felt that this was no big deal.
"Hmm, let's wait a bit longer." After thinking for a moment, Kangxi ultimately did not issue an edict. After saying this, Kangxi continued to bury himself in reviewing memorials.
Liang Jiugong dared not continue speaking. He could not fathom the Emperor's thoughts. Although he had been by the Emperor's side for many years, he still could not understand the Emperor's ideas.
After obtaining the medicinal herbs, Yinzhen immediately returned to his residence to find Yin Hengyi.
"The medicinal herbs are all ready. What should we do now?" Yinzhen handed the medicine to Yin Hengyi.
"Leave it to me. I'll prepare it for you myself once it's ready," Yin Hengyi said quickly, holding the medicinal herbs. Then he headed towards his guest room.
After standing there for a while, Yinzhen turned around and went to the main courtyard.
"Madam, the master is coming to our main courtyard." Granny Li's voice was filled with joy.
"Really? Granny, please take a look at me quickly, is there anything wrong?" The princess stood up, frantically touching her hair.
"Don't worry, Madam, you're doing very well now." Granny Li smiled and pulled Madam's wandering hand away.
"Greetings, Master." A voice greeted from the doorway.
"This concubine greets Your Highness, may Your Highness be well." The Fujin hurriedly came to the door to pay her respects.
Yinzhen didn't even glance at his wife before stepping over the threshold and going inside.
The princess stiffened, the smile on her face faded, and she calmly got up and walked back.
"Nara clan." Yinzhen didn't even sit down, but stood in the hall. He looked at his wife as she walked over and spoke in a deep voice.
"Master..." The Fujin trembled. Yinzhen had never called her that before.
"This is my last warning to you. If you ever again lay hands on the women in the inner quarters or on my children, your position as my consort will be taken away." Yinzhen looked at the woman who had walked with him through the most difficult years. They had once been loving and affectionate. When did things begin to change? He could no longer remember that shy little girl. He thought that innocent girl might have already died sometime in time he didn't know. Now, standing before him was a woman who would stop at nothing to take lives!
"My lord, I don't know what you mean." The princess's heart tightened immediately, and she pinched her hands tightly at her sides to keep herself from losing her composure.
"You know perfectly well what I'm saying. I don't want to play games with you like this. All you need to know is that I mean what I say!" Yinzhen looked at his unrepentant wife, his disappointment undisguised. He didn't want to stay there any longer, so he turned and left.
After Yinzhen left, the Fujin lost all her will to hold on, collapsed to the ground, and tears welled up in her eyes and silently streamed down her face.
"Madam, please don't be like this." Granny Li tried to help the Madam up, her heart aching. She resented her master for showing such disrespect and for showing no regard for their marital bond. Those vixens in the inner quarters were no match for the Madam! They were nothing but women who used their looks to serve others!
"Granny, Master... how could he be so heartless? What was the point of all this! If he didn't dote on that Li woman, allowing her to trample on my face as his wife, would I have laid a hand on her? If he didn't favor those women, why would I be so intolerant of them!" The wife said fiercely, filled with hatred for Yinzhen's heartlessness and infidelity! She hated those women for bewitching Yinzhen's heart! She and Yinzhen were husband and wife, yet she had to watch with a smile as her husband made love to other women, fathering children!
"The master actually threatened me for these vile women, Granny. Do you think he will really divorce me?" The princess held Granny Li's hand, her eyes filled with expectation.
"No, Master only said that in a fit of anger, please don't take it to heart, Madam." Granny Li truly didn't believe that Yinzhen would do something like divorcing his wife, after all, that would be a stain on his reputation!
"Yes, that's right, the master is just angry." The princess seemed to be truly comforted by what Li Mama said, and nodded repeatedly.
"Princess Consort, please rest assured. The master hasn't even taken back the power to manage the household, which shows that he still cares about you. After some time, when the master calms down, you can apologize and let the matter rest."
So, does Yinzhen not want to take away his wife's power to manage the household? No, he just forgot that he's in a hurry to go to Luoxuexuan to see if Yin Hengyi has prepared the medicine yet.
When Yinzhen arrived at Luoxue Pavilion, there was no one at the entrance. Only after entering the courtyard did he find that everyone had gathered there.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed to Yinzhen upon seeing him.
"What are you all doing here?" Su Peisheng asked as he stepped forward.
"Reporting to Eunuch Su, it is Physician Li who is decocting the medicine. We servants were worried, so we came to keep an eye on it," Xiao Jinzi replied.
"Disperse, all of you. Is Physician Li any less capable than you? You don't need to worry about him." Su Peisheng glanced at Yinzhen and, seeing that he had no expression, immediately dismissed everyone.
"Yes." The group dispersed and returned to their respective positions. They simply wanted to know about the princess as soon as possible, not to question Physician Li's medical skills.
Yinzhen glanced at the kitchen, which was smoky and noisy, but decided not to go in. He turned and walked towards the delivery room.
"Master." Granny Qi bowed softly.
"No need for formalities, Granny." Yinzhen glanced at the crib, where three children lay neatly asleep, and lowered his voice as well.
"Physician Li is already brewing the medicine. I believe the princess will wake up after drinking it. The princess hasn't even met these three children yet," said Granny Naqi with a smile in her eyes.
