"How is it?" Yinzhen looked expectantly at the imperial physician.
Yin Qingyi stood up and stood to the side. She didn't show any dissatisfaction in her eyes at Yinzhen's excitement. This was Yinzhen's child, and he should act this way. If Yinzhen wasn't worried at all, Yin Qingyi would have to wonder if this man was a cold-blooded person. If he was so cold-blooded towards his own child, how could he care about women?
However, Yinzhen's excitement was useless. The reason Honghui was able to speak was because she had infused him with spiritual energy. Once she left, Honghui would revert to his mentally impaired state. Of course, Yin Qingyi's cultivation hadn't reached that level, and she could easily cure Honghui. But if Yin Qingyi continued to infuse Honghui with spiritual energy, while he wouldn't fully recover, his intelligence would recover to about 50%. Why would Yin Qingyi do such a futile effort? The Fujin outside, watching her intently, was still plotting how to get rid of her. Why was she treating the Fujin's son?
"Your Highness, the eldest prince's pulse has not changed," the imperial physician replied in a low voice after releasing his grip.
"But he just spoke!" Yinzhen didn't believe it; he had just heard Honghui speak.
"This might be because the First Prince has a deep impression of the Consort, and that impression might have triggered his speech." The imperial physician was also puzzled. Logically, the First Prince shouldn't recognize people, let alone speak, but he had heard the First Prince speak just now. He was also puzzled and could only offer this explanation.
Whether Yinzhen believed him or not, Yin Qingyi didn't know, but she certainly didn't. Who was he trying to fool? Did he think Honghui and his own mother and father didn't leave a deep impression, but she, his concubine, did? Was he sure he wasn't joking?
"Qingqing, come over and talk to Honghui." Clearly, Yinzhen not only believed him, but also sent Yin Qingyi over!
“…Master, I think Honghui might remember the Fujin more.” Yin Qingyi was speechless. She glanced at the Fujin who was being held back at the door. Didn’t she see that the Fujin’s eyes were about to bulge out? If she went over to talk to Honghui now, the Fujin might go berserk again.
"Why is she still here? What are you all doing? Take her to the main courtyard and confine her to her quarters. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!" Following Yin Qingyi's gaze, Yinzhen saw the Fujin at the door, his brows furrowed, and he spoke coldly.
"Let's see who dares! I am the Fujin! I want to be with my Honghui, you slut, don't even think about taking Honghui from me!" The Fujin immediately resisted when she saw that Yinzhen wanted to confine her to the main courtyard. She had heard everything. Yinzhen wanted this slut to have more contact with her Honghui. How could this be? She would never allow it! The servants who were holding her down did not dare to use too much force, in case they hurt the Fujin.
"Ulanara, do you think you'd still be a Fujin if it weren't for Honghui? Honghui's transformation is inextricably linked to you! How dare you even look at Honghui here? Seal him off, lock up the main courtyard, and from today onwards, no one is allowed to visit Ulanara except for those who bring him food." Yinzhen's voice was icy, and his gaze towards the Fujin was as cold as a dead man's.
"No! It wasn't me, Honghui, Honghui, it's your mother! Look at your mother, look at your mother! Yin Shi! Hahahaha, Yin Shi, you'll die a horrible death! It's all your fault! It's all because of you! You're a witch! You're a witch! You... you ugh..." The Fujin's words were obviously covered by someone's mouth. Yin Qingyi glanced at Yinzhen and knew that this was definitely done by Su Peisheng. After all, no one but Su Peisheng would dare to do such a thing.
"Don't take it to heart, the Fujin has gone mad." Yinzhen looked at Yin Qingyi and saw that although Yin Qingyi's face had not changed, her heart was definitely not the same. He could only hold Yin Qingyi's hand to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I didn't take it to heart. It's just that the Fujin can't accept Honghui's change right now, I understand." Yin Qingyi smiled and shook her head, she didn't care at all what the Fujin said. She didn't even care whether Yinzhen would take the Fujin's words seriously.
"Does the wound still hurt? Imperial Physician, is this wound of Consort Yin's in the way?" Yinzhen gently stroked Consort Yin's injured hand and turned to ask the imperial physician who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Your Highness, the concubine's injury is not serious, but the wound is quite deep and she will need to rest for ten days to half a month." The imperial physician felt that he would not be able to leave the Prince's residence today. He originally thought it was just about the Prince's eldest son's high fever, but now this sordid affair between the Prince's wife and concubine had happened. He felt that his life was over! Truly, bad luck! Bad luck indeed!
"Yes, you can go back now. You know in your heart what you should and shouldn't say, right? Do I need to tell you?" Yinzhen nodded and looked at the imperial physician with unfathomable eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty, I know, Your Majesty, I take my leave!" The imperial physician was overjoyed that Yinzhen would let him go so easily. He bowed to Yinzhen repeatedly and then left the Prince's residence in a hurry, afraid that if he was a step too late, Yinzhen would change his mind.
"Look how scared he was." Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen with amusement as the imperial physician disappeared in a flash.
"Hmph, he should be burning incense with gratitude for not taking his head! Qingqing, come, talk to Honghui, maybe he can speak again." Yinzhen sneered. If it weren't for the fact that it was the New Year and bloodshed was inappropriate, he really wanted to kill this imperial physician. Of course, there was also the fact that he didn't want to make a big fuss about this; he still believed that his legitimate son could recover. If he killed this imperial physician, then Honghui's situation would no longer be a secret.
"Your Majesty, alright, I'll give it a try." Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen helplessly, but seeing the hope in Yinzhen's eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse and could only nod in agreement.
Yinzhen had to rush back to the palace. He had only come back to see Honghui, but so many things had happened. Yinzhen checked the time and had no choice but to hurry back to the palace. He barely made it in time. This had its advantages, though. His brothers, who were curious about his return, didn't have time to ask him anything before arriving. Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad he made it in time.
Kangxi glanced at the panting Yinzhen. He knew, of course, that the fourth prince had returned to the mansion at noon. Although he was somewhat displeased, Kangxi didn't say anything more since Yinzhen had returned on time.
Meanwhile, Yin Qingyi, who was in the mansion, was conflicted as she looked at Honghui, who was grinning foolishly in front of her.
