That night, Kangxi was busy until late, even dispatching numerous shadow guards to investigate the surrounding area. Any high priest praying for life or death was to be closely monitored.
In the early morning, shadows appeared under Yin's eyes. He looked at Qingyan, who was motionless, and there was no longer her sweet and coquettish voice. He felt extremely sad.
He used to find it annoying that the little girl was always chattering in his ear, but now that everything is quiet, he feels like something is missing.
Because they were both young, they couldn't always leave their tents like others. Qingyan always advised Yin that Kangxi was doing this for their own good.
Days passed, and Qingyan remained asleep. Tomorrow, Feiyanggu would be returning. Yin felt extremely tired. Putting aside everything else, he wondered how Feiyanggu would react upon learning that Qingyan was unconscious.
In just one month, he felt like he was in hell every day, and he lost a lot of weight. Kangxi and Consort Tong saw this and felt very sorry for him. Qingyan was in a deep sleep, and Yin would feed her some water or rice soup with a small spoon.
After feeding Qingyan a bowl of millet porridge, Yin wiped Qingyan's mouth with a silk handkerchief. He felt sorry for Qingyan, who was always in a daze and often seemed to be in pain.
"Little darling, you've been sleeping for so many days, it's time to get up!" Yin said with a pang of sadness.
He wasn't afraid of Fei Yanggu's wrath, nor did he want to be beaten up by E Shuo and Sai Tuo. He didn't want Qing Yan to always be in a daze and asleep.
"Little darling, wake up soon." Yin kissed her little forehead. These days, he often used an ivory comb to slowly comb her long hair. He hoped that when the little one woke up, she wouldn't be frightened by his disheveled appearance.
Inside the space, Qingyan lay helplessly, her watery eyes half-open. She heard Yin's voice calling her name. She had only regained consciousness two days ago. The previous lightning tribulation had severely damaged her entire body, leaving her in pain all over. Even after using pills, she could not calm down. Such pain made Qingyan no longer dare to delve into the emperor's thoughts.
She often tried to understand what Si Si was thinking, but such a disaster did not happen.
“Master, Emperor Kangxi is surrounded by the aura of the Nine Dragons Emperor. If you forcibly explore it, you will suffer a tribulation. The Fourth Prince Yin is actually Emperor Yongzheng. Your exploration only reaches one-third of his realm,” the system in the space explained to Qingyan.
She bit her lip tightly. Her face was pale, filled with regret. She never expected to experience a tribulation of lightning, something she had only heard about in novels.
"Four! Four!" Qingyan cried out in pain as she sent her light, floating soul into her body.
Opening her eyes, her haggard appearance and the shadows under his phoenix eyes told her that Yin had been here with her for many days.
"Little darling, you're finally alright! Su Peisheng, hurry and find the imperial physician and tell him that Princess Qingyan has regained consciousness!" Imperial Physician Liu took her pulse three times a day, but with each disappointment, they couldn't help but wonder if it was a curse from the High Priest's side.
Qingyan smiled silently. Her whole body ached. He touched her forehead with his slightly cool hand. A few days ago, she had a fever, which had only gradually subsided in the past few days.
"Yin, Qingyan has woken up?" Kangxi and Consort Tong walked in one after the other. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qingyan's weak appearance. She had woken up before Fei Yanggu returned. At least, Fei Yanggu did not return to find Qingyan unconscious.
"Yes, Your Majesty and Your Majesty have been frightened!" Qingyan's well-behaved appearance made Lanya very happy; this little guy was just too cute.
After examining Qingyan, Physician Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Once Lady Ulanara learned of the news, the Imperial Medical Academy would be in for a world of trouble.
"Little darling, how are you feeling?" Lanya asked with concern as she sat down on a chair nearby.
In recent days, Kangxi has discovered that several high priests have opened the Wheel of Life and Death. The Dragon Guards are keeping a close eye on them. If anyone dares to cause trouble behind the scenes, their fate will definitely not be good.
"Your Majesty, I feel much better." Qingyan noticed that there were quite a few people in the tent. She was too embarrassed to cry out in pain. Every time the pain struck, she clenched her hands tightly under the covers, her whole body tense.
Physician Liu stepped forward and took a look, and understood Qingyan's good intentions.
"Princess, let this servant take your pulse first." When Physician Liu noticed that Qingyan's body relaxed slightly, he quickly touched her right hand and took her pulse as fast as he could. He noticed the red marks on her palm from being pinched by her nails, and Yin's eyes flashed with heartache. He then told Shu to prepare some water.
"Little darling, if it hurts, just cry out!" Kangxi waved away Li Dequan and the others, and stepped forward to comfort Qingyan.
The family of three took special care of Qingyan, and Kangxi felt extremely distressed watching her harm herself to control her emotions.
"No, I can tolerate it!" Qingyan smiled at Yin. "If you call him that, people outside will definitely have other ideas!"
Qingyan gave a weak smile. The news of Qingyan's coma was not released by Kangxi. They thought that Kangxi had confined the Fourth Prince and Princess Qingyan to their quarters. After all, the struggle between them and the princes of Mongolia was getting more and more intense.
A few days ago, Qingyan fell into a coma and had a fever, and Yin vented his anger directly on those Mongol princes.
"Your Majesty, the princess still needs to rest. Going out for a walk would be beneficial to her health." Physician Liu realized that after the incident at Qingyan, Kangxi had surrounded the imperial tent, allowing only ministers, imperial physicians, and servants to enter and exit. The Mongol princes were not allowed to enter the area of the imperial tent.
Consort Tong was also placed under house arrest, which Kangxi believed was the work of the Mongol priests. He even ordered the servants of the Phoenix Guard to personally clean up the four people's tents, making sure to leave no trace, in case those people used hair or other objects to allow the priests to succeed.
Qingyan didn't care; she had been careless this time.
"Fourth Sister, I want to drink water!" Qingyan's weak little voice made Yin feel heartbroken. When did this girl become so timid?
He got up and poured her a glass of warm water. She leaned against him and slowly drank it from his hand.
This scene caught the attention of Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong, who were both pleased that Yinzhi had grown up. In just one month, Yinzhi had matured and become more responsible than before.
Yin didn't have many thoughts. Being able to hold her warm little body again and hear her voice warmed his cold heart. He didn't want to go through this month again, even if it meant that they would be the only two people in his life together.
"Fourth Brother, I want to eat meat!" Qingyan pouted. Lately, he'd only been fed rice porridge, and hadn't tasted a single bite of meat.
For Qingyan, a foodie, these days were truly unbearable.
