Hongyu's eyes, which had been brimming with tears, immediately hardened. "Father, tell me. I will remember."
Yinti steadied himself and continued, "Apart from your uncles and the leaders of the various tribes on the grasslands, no one else knows about the Emperor's illness. But now that the entire army is on high alert, and those leaders are confined to our tents, it will allow those with ulterior motives to start plotting and inquiring."
Hongyu listened very attentively, and even Wenxi, who was eating pastries, turned her head to look over.
"But the matter of the Emperor's illness must not be told to anyone, not even the concubines who accompanied him, or the soldiers and generals."
Hongyu nodded solemnly.
Yinqi patted his little head, "During this time, there will definitely be some people trying to find out about Grandfather Huang. Just say that Grandfather Huang is doing well and is even playing with you. Understand? Even if it costs you your life, you can't tell the truth, remember?"
Hongyu nodded without any hesitation.
"Also, during this time, take your sister and rest well in the tent. Try not to go horseback riding on the grassland. After all, this is not the capital. The situation is still full of dangers. If you and your sister encounter any danger, remember to protect your sister."
Hongyu pursed his lips. "Father, don't worry, your son will protect your sister."
He paused, then continued, "My son will also protect Grandfather."
Emperor Kangxi, who was feigning illness, was deeply moved.
Unexpectedly, Yinti said, "You just need to protect your sister. Your father will protect the Emperor."
Seeing Hongyu nod, he said with difficulty, "Hongyu, this trip is fraught with danger. If... if danger really arises here, you must listen to your uncles and bring your sister back to the capital safely."
Hongyu seemed to realize something was wrong. He gripped Yinti's hand tightly, his voice trembling, "Father, what are you trying to do? Father, is it that we can't go back?"
As he spoke, tears welled up in Hongyu's eyes and streamed down his face.
Yinti slapped him on the butt, "You brat, what are you crying for? You are my son, Yinti, Xu Zhan, you are not allowed to cry."
As soon as he finished speaking, his voice choked with emotion.
He hugged Hongyu tightly. "Hongyu, remember, if one day your father can't return to the capital, you must listen to your second uncle, the Crown Prince, and never listen to any provocation. Just remember, no matter what happens, it's your father's choice, it has nothing to do with anyone else, and there's no such thing as being framed or plotted against."
Hongyu could no longer contain his emotions and hugged Yinti, sobbing uncontrollably.
Wenxi seemed to be infected by the emotions and ran over to hug Yinti. "Uncle, uncle, you must come back with us. Wenxi can't leave you here. Wenxi is going to take you back with Grandfather."
Seeing this scene, Liang Jiugong subconsciously glanced at Kangxi, who was pretending to faint and constantly shedding tears, and sighed inwardly.
Your Majesty, you've committed a terrible sin.
If the truth about your feigned unconsciousness comes out one day, let's see how you explain it to Prince Zhi and the other princes.
By the way, news of His Majesty's fainting has probably already reached the palace. I wonder what kind of commotion it will cause there.
At Yuqing Palace, Yinreng looked at the letter sent by Yinzhen and felt as if the blood in his body had frozen.
The Emperor suddenly fainted and never regained consciousness.
He had been clutching the letter for a whole day, his mind a jumbled mess, unable to hear anything, feeling like an empty shell.
He Yuzhu looked anxiously at his master, who had been looking lost and dejected all day.
Seeing that his master hadn't eaten all day, He Yuzhu had no choice but to go to the backyard to find the Crown Princess himself. If this continued, he was really afraid that his master wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Are you sure the letter came from Mongolia and not Suzhou?" Guarjia looked at He Yuzhu with a deep gaze. When he nodded without hesitation, she immediately got up and walked out, instructing as she went, "Take the little prince with you."
Wenying immediately went to the side hall to carry Hongxi, while Guarjia hurriedly went to the study in the front courtyard.
For the Crown Prince to lose his composure like this, something must have happened to the Emperor.
As they approached the study door, Wenying arrived in a hurry, carrying Hongxi. Guarjia took the child into her arms and stood outside the door, saying, "Your Highness, the little prince wants to see his father."
For a long while, there was no sound from inside.
Just as Guarjia was about to call out again, the door suddenly opened, and Yinreng came out with red eyes. The moment he saw Hongxi, it was as if he had discovered a treasure, and he immediately hugged him into his arms.
"I have nothing to do, Your Highness, please go back first." Then he slammed the door shut.
Hongxi was a little confused.
Yinreng placed him on the cushion and sat down beside him. The father and son stared at each other.
Is Ama possessed?
Yinreng, who was plotting how to find out about Kangxi's illness, immediately lost his composure upon hearing this sarcastic remark.
He suppressed the urge to hit someone and coughed lightly, saying, "Father received a letter from Mongolia saying that your Grandfather suddenly fainted and hasn't woken up yet. Father is very worried."
Yinreng tried his best to make it sound like he was talking to his son, but after he finished speaking, he almost held his breath, afraid that he would miss his son's true feelings.
[The Emperor suddenly fainted? Impossible, the Emperor in his previous life... wait.]
Hongxi frowned slightly and stopped mid-sentence.
"It seems there was indeed such an event in the previous life, but that was because Grandfather feigned illness to test the character of his accompanying sons. Could it be the same in this life?"
Yinreng: ...
[In his previous life, upon hearing this, Father rushed to Mongolia day and night, just to see His Majesty. However, at that time, there was some tension between Father and His Majesty, and Father was unwilling to express his feelings. As a result, His Majesty misunderstood the true purpose of Father's trip, which became the fuse for Father's dethronement.]
Hongxi slowly turned his head to look at Yinreng.
I wonder what my father will do in this life.
Yinreng: He really wanted to pretend he hadn't seen the letter.
He never imagined that Kangxi would dare to do such a thing in Mongolian territory. Wasn't he afraid that the Mongolian tribes would take the opportunity to cook?
If any of the accompanying princes were in cahoots with the Mongol leader, then those who went to Mongolia might never return.
Wenxi.
Suddenly, Yinreng thought of his beloved daughter, and then, considering the dangerous nature of what Kangxi had done, he became so angry that his eyes turned red.
His brothers are becoming more and more obedient, so why does Father Emperor still want to test them like this?
Why would he risk putting himself in danger?
"He Yuzhu, get in here!"
