Some time ago, the princess was diagnosed with pregnancy, but because she also caught a cold at the same time, he was very worried.
"Hongzhou, what do you say?"
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. I will follow Your Majesty's arrangements."
Hmph, do you really think he wants to do such a chore? It would be better if he didn't, then he could spend more time with his wife.
Oh right, Mother should have some recipes for food therapy; I'll have to go there later.
"Cough cough."
Seeing that his father, the Emperor, sitting above, looked a little off, Hongli coughed lightly a few times next to Hongzhou as a reminder.
Of course, Yinzhen did not change his mind, but insisted on having Hongli and Hongzhou take charge of the matter.
At the same time, Ha Yuansheng was appointed General Yangwei, leading troops from four provinces to quell the unrest in the Miao region.
Soon after, Ha Yuansheng quelled the Miao rebellion in Guizhou. The establishment and operation of the Miao Affairs Office played a positive role in maintaining the Qing Dynasty's rule over the southwest region.
Hongzhou's performance in the process proved some ministers who didn't think highly of him wrong.
Yinzhen was very satisfied with this.
"Your Majesty, why are you up so early today?"
“Wanru stayed by the Emperor’s side all night. If I go early, she can get some more rest.”
In early August of the thirteenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign, Yinzhen fell ill again, and the concubines and several wives in the palace took turns serving him.
Because the Fifth Prince's wife was pregnant, Geng Youran didn't ask her to come; she went there herself.
"Did you finish making the soup I asked you to make last night?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, it's been kept warm over the fire."
"Okay, let's go quickly then."
Since falling ill, Yinzhen had been living in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, and Consort Xi, Consort Wanru, Consort Yu, and others had also moved there.
"elder sister."
"Wanru, you've been keeping watch here all night. Go and get some rest. Leave the rest to me."
It's easy to see that Wanru's eyes were red.
It seems that the Emperor's condition is indeed not optimistic.
After entering the room, Yinzhen was already awake, but he didn't have much strength to speak.
"Your Majesty, I greet you. Your Majesty, I will serve you your medicine."
While feeding the medicine, Geng Youran chatted with Yinzhen about the children's recent situation.
The main concern was that Yinzhen might faint.
After swallowing a bowl of bitter medicine, Yinzhen regained some of his energy.
"Leisurely..."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"If I am no longer here, you must take good care of yourself."
"Your Majesty, please don't say such unlucky things. You've only caught a cold, and you'll get better soon."
"I know my own body. If... if you are not doing well in the future and want to leave, then leave."
Geng Youran looked up in surprise:
"Your Majesty, what did you just say?"
Yinzhen smiled faintly:
"I saw the jade pendant under the pillow."
Geng Youran never expected that her last secret would be exposed so easily.
At this moment, Yinzhen had little strength left, and Geng Youran also felt that the person on the bed was breathing weaker and weaker.
She took Yinzhen's hand, pressed it against her cheek, and whispered about her life in the modern world, her fears after arriving here, her worries and happiness after marrying Yinzhen, and her complaints about him.
"Fourth Master, I am so happy to have met you in this life."
Yinzhen's fingers twitched, then he opened his mouth. Geng Youran stood up and leaned in to listen, hearing Yinzhen say:
"Proceed with the imperial decree that Prince Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Guo Yunli, Grand Secretaries Ortai and Zhang Tingyu, Grand Ministers of the Imperial Guard Fengsheng'e and Neqin, and Grand Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Haiwang enter the palace to receive the order."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
Geng Youran gently released Yinzhen's hand, stood up while holding onto the bedside, and walked expressionlessly to the door:
"Gao Wuyong, issue the imperial edict: summon Prince Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Guo Yunli, Grand Secretaries Ortai and Zhang Tingyu, Grand Ministers of the Imperial Guard Fengsheng'e and Neqin, and Grand Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Haiwang to the Yuanmingyuan immediately. Be quick!"
Gao Wuyong sensed an urgent urgency in the last two words and immediately ran out.
After these officials arrived, Emperor Yongzheng issued an edict to pass the throne to his fourth son, Prince Bao, Hongli.
An hour later, the emperor passed away.
Unfortunately, Yinzhen did not know Geng Youran's real name before his death.
However, Geng Youran's story is not over yet.
After Yinzhen's death, in the second year of Qianlong's reign, which was the second year after Hongli ascended the throne, Geng Youran was honored as the Imperial Noble Consort Yu.
He spent his days planting flowers and playing chess in his palace, and he also kept a cat.
From time to time, Hongzhou would also send his wife and several children to the palace to visit her.
One thing that greatly displeased Geng Youran was that since Hongli ascended the throne, Hongzhou had become increasingly arrogant and willful.
In the third year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, Hongzhou had a quarrel with Neqin, a Grand Secretary, Chief Grand Councilor, and First-Class Duke, over a trivial matter at a court assembly. Hongzhou then violently attacked Neqin in front of the Qianlong Emperor and all the court officials, resulting in Neqin's injury.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Didn't you say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings and you don't care anymore?"
"How can I not be angry! He is a prince, the emperor's brother, and he is so old, yet he openly beats a minister. He does not respect the emperor above, and he cannot set a good example for the children below. I am so angry that I am about to die."
Faced with her angry master, Qianxue could only keep quiet and then secretly send a message to the prince, urging him to go to the palace immediately.
Unexpectedly, the reprimand had little effect.
In the fifteenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, Hongzhou was appointed to manage the Fengchen Garden, responsible for the administration of the imperial gardens and flowerbeds. However, after only three years in office, he returned the position to the Qianlong Emperor, forcing the Imperial Household Department to take over the Fengchen Garden again.
