Sadly, the once magnificent Buddhist temple was burned to the ground, leaving only a blackened door frame.
This is the place my grandmother comes to every day!
What's infuriating is that when this happened, she had absolutely no ability to fight back, couldn't protect the people around her, and caused so many people to get hurt and live in fear because of her.
This handsome young man suffered so much to save me.
Yun Duoduo nestled in Yun Beiye's arms and sobbed softly.
Her throat hurt. She hadn't intended to cry, she was just sad, but tears streamed down her face involuntarily. Perhaps this was an instinctive physiological reaction in a baby, something she couldn't control.
Although she was exhausted from crying and shouting in the Buddhist hall, her eyes were now sore and uncomfortable.
Yun Beiye felt something damp on his chest. He was terrified and hurriedly looked down at his daughter in his arms. Thinking she was injured, he carried her and quickly walked towards Fushuang Palace.
"Don't cry, Duoduo, Daddy's here, don't cry, don't cry..."
"Duoduo, be good, we'll be going back to your palace soon." Yun Beiye's brows were furrowed, but his voice was gentle to the core.
My poor daughter has suffered so much!
The imperial physicians and palace servants standing to the side stared in astonishment at Yun Beiye's loving kindness, their mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.
Is this still the same war god who struck fear into the hearts of neighboring countries?!
Yun Beiye's pace quickened, and he eventually started running, making it difficult for the elderly, frail, white-bearded imperial physicians to keep up.
In order to keep up with Yun Beiye's pace, the eunuchs had no choice but to half-carry, half-drag, and half-lift the group of imperial physicians to Fushuang Palace.
Yun Duoduo was bouncing around in Yun Beiye's arms, making her feel nauseous.
Her already buzzing head was now even more dizzy.
Father, I'm not hurt, you don't need to worry!
When Yun Beiye arrived at the entrance of Fu Shuang Palace, he stopped in his tracks.
The palace servants in the Fu Shuang Palace knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, fearing that they would lose their heads for failing to take good care of the little princess.
These lackeys have caused my daughter such great injustice!
【Take them all to the Sinzheku!】
Why did the Buddhist hall catch fire? Was it due to years of disrepair and dry weather that caused a fire, or was it a deliberate act of arson? Once I find the arsonist, I will have him torn apart by five horses!
When Yun Duoduo heard her father say in his heart that he was going to send all the aunts who took care of her to the labor camp, she panicked.
These aunts were just teenage girls; they wouldn't last more than three days doing hard labor in the Xin Zhe Ku.
We shouldn't let more people be punished because of her; besides, they shouldn't be blamed for this in the first place.
"Ya ya ya!" Yun Duoduo tugged at Yun Beiye's sleeve, staring at him with wide eyes, trying to divert his attention.
Looking at his daughter, who was covered in dirt and grime in his arms, Yun Beiye couldn't care less about punishing her anymore. "What are you all doing kneeling on the ground like idiots?!"
"Quickly prepare hot water and a hot towel to wipe the princess's face and change her into clean clothes!"
Yun Beiye roared, and the palace servants kneeling on the ground finally reacted and hurriedly stood up to prepare.
People were busy fetching hot water, getting clean clothes, making beds, and going to the imperial kitchen to ask for warm rice porridge and meat soup. For a time, Fu Shuang Palace was bustling with activity.
"Imperial Physician Xu, quickly take the princess's pulse!"
My daughter!
Yun Beiye gently placed Yun Duoduo on the bed, looking at his daughter with affection. Yun Duoduo's originally rosy and chubby face was now dark and yellow, and her two bright eyes were full of fatigue, lacking energy and the liveliness of the past.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I have arrived!"
"Quick, the medicine box!" Xu Zheng, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy with gray hair, hurriedly walked to the bedside and placed his hand on Yun Duoduo's wrist.
As he took Yun Huohuo's pulse and diagnosed her, he looked at Yun Duoduo's haggard and sallow face, feeling regret and sorrow in his heart.
It's so pitiful for such a tiny baby, only a month or so old, to have to suffer so much!
[They're either thrown into a well or set on fire in the north.]
I wonder how long this child will live. The previous princes only lived for a month or two before they died.
The palace is rife with intrigue and treachery; assassinations like this are likely to become more frequent in the future.
Looking at the helplessness and pity in the imperial physician's eyes, and listening to his innermost thoughts, Yun Huohuo's heart sank. Being a princess was truly humiliating! How could it be so miserable?
She suddenly felt like crying, but she had been crying for so long that she couldn't cry out now. She could only wail in her heart, feeling a bittersweet ache.
She couldn't help but sigh to the heavens, wondering how she was going to live from now on!
The princes who died earlier, her deceased brothers, only lived for a month or so. Wasn't her life hanging in the balance?
The imperial physician looked at Yun Duoduo with pity; the child's expression seemed to allow her to understand everything around her.
My child, I was able to save you this time. From now on, I can only pray to the gods to protect you and help you grow up safely.
Oh my, this old man is so kind!
[The power struggles within the imperial harem are constant, with both open and covert attacks; you must be careful too!]
Yun Duoduo stared into the eyes of the old imperial physician, looking at the unfathomable depths within them. She felt that having stayed in the palace for so many years, he must know many secrets.
The head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Xu Zheng, was a name Yun Duoduo secretly remembered. She vowed that when she grew up, she would find an opportunity to have a good chat with this head of the Imperial Medical Academy.
"How is it?" Yun Beiye asked anxiously, his hands clenched tightly.
Doctor Xu examined Yun Duoduo's eyes and mouth, and then carefully pressed on her heart.
Then, Physician Xu gently unwrapped the cotton quilt covered with clouds, parted the clothes, and checked the body for any burns.
Yun Duoduo felt her clothes being pulled open and was immediately embarrassed. Although the old man was a royal physician, she still felt extremely awkward.
"Your Majesty, the princess is fine, but she has been crying for too long and her throat is a little sore."
"This old minister will prescribe a medicine for the princess. She will recover after taking the medicine for a few days."
"Yes, quick, quickly prepare pen, ink and paper for Physician Xu!"
"You guys hurry up and go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to get the medicine!" Yun Beiye quickly ordered, his heart burning with anxiety, eager to get his precious daughter the medicine as soon as possible.
When Yun Duoduo heard that she had to take medicine, her little brows immediately furrowed.
Waaaaah, medicine tastes so bitter!
However, she needs to get better quickly, as she doesn't know how Aunt Xiang is doing yet.
Yun Beiye looked out the window; it was completely dark.
"Old Zhao, go find someone to bring over a soft couch. Tonight, I will stay at Fushuang Palace."
"Your Majesty, this?" Zhao Zhongquan was extremely surprised. Never before in history had an emperor spent the night in his daughter's bedchamber.
