Su Peisheng had no idea about any of this. He kept cursing the two careless palace maids in his heart, thinking about how uncomfortable his master must be with his clothes wet.
Their master hasn't fallen out of favor yet, and their own head palace maid dares to treat him like this.
Su Peisheng quickly picked up clean clothes from the cabinet next to him, first used the warm water next to him to wipe the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's body, and then changed his clothes in no time.
Su Peisheng had been trained since childhood, serving the Fourth Prince Yinzhen personally in all aspects of his life.
After finishing all that, Su Peisheng turned his attention to Duofu, who was still in the box.
Su Peisheng glanced at the tightly closed door. At this hour, no one should be coming to Chengqian Palace. He then felt relieved, reached out and opened the food box, and carefully took Duofu, who was still eating pastries, into his arms.
Duofu suddenly changed direction and felt completely disoriented, losing all sense of direction for a moment.
Although he has always had a poor sense of direction, he used to get lost easily when he went out for a stroll, and would wander around in one place for a long time before he could find his way out.
Duofu opened his eyes, which were stung by the light, and his two large eyes immediately locked onto the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was lying motionless on the bed.
Duofu looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen on the bed, whose lips were completely bloodless and whose face was still flushed, and couldn't believe it was only a day since they last saw each other.
Why did the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, look so different? He looked much more haggard, and his pointed chin looked like it could pierce through his belly.
Duofu barked in confusion, his barks unconsciously low. Su Peisheng hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent him from making any noise.
Su Peisheng glanced cautiously in the direction of the door, but there was no one there. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Duofu with a face full of disapproval.
"You can't make a sound now. If someone finds you here, His Majesty will definitely send someone to arrest you and kill you again."
"Stay here quietly and don't cause trouble for the master."
Duofu still didn't realize what "kill again" meant. He just nodded repeatedly, indicating that he wouldn't shout anymore, and looked pitifully at Su Peisheng, signaling him to let go of his mouth.
Su Peisheng placed Duofu not far from the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's bedside, and while picking up a wet towel to continue cooling him down, he kept muttering to himself.
"Master, you must wake up soon, Duofu needs your care."
“During the days you were asleep, Duofu’s appetite didn’t improve much.”
"Duofu is fine. He only has the Ninth Prince's injury on him, nothing else."
…………
Duofu was also very perceptive. He leaned close to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's ear and whimpered very softly. Even Su Peisheng, who was several steps away, could barely hear the whimper.
Su Peisheng was very satisfied. Duofu had come up, and he gave Duofu a knowing look.
Su Peisheng was indeed very satisfied. At least the dog that his master had spoiled seemed to have been spoiled for nothing. Its cleverness was unmatched in the entire harem.
Duofu, raised by his own master, is indeed exceptionally clever and intelligent.
Just as smart as their master.
As Su Peisheng watched the Fourth Prince Yinzhen lying on the bed, his brows slowly relaxed, and his expression lessened. His movements became lighter and more agile.
He couldn't help but feel happy as long as his master was well.
Su Peisheng didn't let Duofu stay in bed for too long. He moved Duofu from the bed to under the bed, but this time it changed from under Empress Tong's bed to under the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's bed.
The space under the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's bed was very clean and comfortable, with thick soft blankets already laid out and a small, cozy nook.
Duofu would often throw a tantrum and crawl under the bed. He would only slowly crawl out after the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, came and coaxed him.
Over time, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, decorated the space under his bed as well, but only Su Peisheng knew about this; no one else knew.
No one would care what was under a prince's bed.
After eating a bowl of white porridge and a bowl of milk, Duofu patted his round belly and, with Su Peisheng's help, relieved himself. He was then laid flat under the bed.
Duofu did not resist; he was still aware of the bigger picture and knew that his own life was more important.
Moreover, now is not the time for him to throw a tantrum. The person who could make him throw a tantrum is still unconscious. He has no desire to act spoiled or throw a tantrum.
Obediently lying back under the familiar bed, Duofu felt that this was what a bed should have under the bed, with a familiar smell and a sense of security. Lying on it was the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and Duofu felt an overwhelming sense of security.
The only downside is that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, is still unconscious, and it's unclear when he'll wake up and need to be comforted.
However, judging from Su Peisheng's words, things are much better than yesterday. At least his face isn't as flushed, so there's no need to worry about the high temperature burning his fourth prince, Yinzhen, to the point of being mentally impaired.
Duofu believed that as the next emperor in history, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen would surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and would recover quickly. It was just a fever from being caught in the rain, and perhaps when he woke up again, the Fourth Prince would be awake.
Duofu vaguely thought that he felt a large hand stroking him soothingly, and the pain in his body was not so painful anymore. He seemed to hear a familiar voice in his ear, and Duofu unconsciously fell into a dream again.
That afternoon, just as Liang Jiugong had predicted, Emperor Kangxi arrived and visited the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, at Chengqian Palace.
However, Kangxi's expression was not good. It had been almost a day and a night, and his fourth son still hadn't woken up.
It was still that same Physician Li. After checking the pulse, he was also full of doubt. Logically speaking, the patient should have woken up by now. He had a fever from being caught in the rain, and the fever should have almost subsided by now. It was probably just that last bit of shortness of breath that caused the attack on his heart. He hadn't woken up since this morning.
Physician Li was, of course, straightforward and spoke the truth. Anyway, Emperor Kangxi's anger wouldn't be directed at him. Physician Li watched as the Emperor's face darkened further because of what he had said.
His heart skipped a beat. Doctor Li quickly left behind the prescription for the next dose of medicine, packed his things, and tried to run away with his apprentice.
Kangxi's anger was indeed not directed at Imperial Physician Li. He waved his hand, and Imperial Physician Li walked away quickly without stopping, as if a dog was chasing him.
