Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Xi'er is fine, but... Xi'er has really suffered a lot this time." Qing'er's eyes were blurred with tears. Seeing Hexi, who was usually full of energy, so weak and on the verge of death, she was really sad.

Qianlong came out with blood all over his face, looking a little scary and gloomy. People who were familiar with him knew that he was extremely furious this time.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"No need to be polite. Emin, Fuheng."

"The slave is here."

"Capture the White Lotus rebels and kill them all! I will wipe them out in one fell swoop." Qianlong's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Not only that, all the White Lotus members who are caught will be executed on the spot!"

"Whoo!"

Qianlong was like a killing god. This experience made him heartbroken. Very well, he would make these rebellious people pay with blood!

At the emperor's command, not only Qijiang County, but the entire state machinery began to operate.

Within a month, the White Lotus Sect throughout the Qing Dynasty had become a low-profile group and dared not show up again.

No one knew that Xiao Jian was also a member of the White Lotus Sect.

After returning to the White Lotus stronghold, they found that the entire nest had been destroyed.

After asking, they found out that it was an action of the White Lotus Sect that injured Princess Hexi.

The emperor was furious and millions of people were killed. What's more, the White Lotus Sect rebels were even more delightful.

The White Lotus Sect advocated overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, but its purpose had changed over the years.

How many people have been selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton just for their own selfish desires and have long lost the support of the people.

Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, people just want to live a good life.

Not to mention how miserable the White Lotus Sect was, now Emperor Qianlong was like an angry lion.

After dealing with the affairs of the White Lotus Sect, Qianlong decided to return to the palace.

Hexi was injured and needed to rest, and Qianlong had no mood to have fun anymore.

Xiaoyanzi regretted that she had to go back so soon. Just as she was about to say something, she was choked by Qianlong's look.

Qianlong looked at Xiaoyanzi coldly, and Ziwei was also calm.

Ziwei's heart sank, and Xiaoyanzi also showed some intelligence for the first time and stopped offending Qianlong.

Qianlong turned away, and everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Qianlong was undoubtedly venting his anger on others. At that time, Hexi noticed something was wrong and wanted to leave, but Xiaoyanzi refused to listen and dragged everyone to join in the fun.

It was Ziwei's sprained ankle that caused Fukang'an to be separated from them, and eventually led to Hexi being injured.

Qianlong knew that the assassination was aimed at him, and strictly speaking he was the culprit, but how could the emperor be wrong?

Naturally, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei have to take the blame.

Their status in Qianlong's heart was getting lower and lower. If it weren't for the urgent telegram from the capital that the Mongolian prince was about to come to Beijing to pay homage, he would have sent Xiaoyanzi away long ago.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, who had no idea what Qianlong was thinking, started another meeting.

The only person attending the meeting this time was Yongqier Kangertai.

Benjamin was busy taking care of Hexi's injury, which made Xiaoyanzi unhappy. She felt that Turtledove had changed.

"Alas, we have to go back so soon. I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Right, Ziwei."

"Ah? Princess Hexi was seriously injured, she should be well healed, Xiaoyanzi, stop complaining."

"I'm afraid the emperor will be angry with us this time."

"Why? It wasn't me who tattooed He Xi!"

"Xiaoyanzi...never mind. Anyway, we have to be careful during this period of time."

"Yes, Xiaoyanzi, our situation is becoming increasingly difficult now." Erkang's expression was serious and his tone was heavy. "I originally thought that I could win the favor of Emperor Qianlong and even get a special pardon by visiting Ziwei in disguise, but now I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Seeing everyone’s serious expressions, Xiaoyanzi pursed her lips and nodded to listen to the advice.

The accompanying imperial physician was dispersed by the crowd and only arrived late after He Xi drew his sword.

The imperial physician felt that the man was doomed this time, but Qianlong did not pursue the matter. After all, he still had to rely on him to save Hexi, and the crime of dereliction of duty would be dealt with after he returned to Beijing.

Therefore, the imperial physician has been doing his best during this period, hoping to make up for his mistakes.

Qianlong was filled with worry. Hexi had been in a coma for two days. The imperial physician said that if she didn't wake up, it would be very bad.

At this time, Fukang'an asked for a meeting.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"Stand up." Qianlong's tone was tired and he rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

"What is it?"

"Your Majesty, I have been granted a gift by the Emperor, allowing me to marry as I wish."

Qianlong's eyes shone sharply. Fu Kang'an was his favorite consort, although he had never said it. Now that Hexi's life or death was uncertain, if Fu Kang'an said something unpleasant and unpleasant at this time, don't blame him for taking advantage of the situation.

"Oh? Yaolin, you know I'm in a bad mood now." Qianlong valued Fu Kang'an very much and really didn't want this future loyal minister to suffer setbacks.

But Fu Kang'an seemed unable to hear Qianlong's hint and still wanted to speak firmly.

"Well, go ahead."

"I would like to marry Princess Hexi. I hope the emperor will grant my permission."

"What!" Qianlong was shocked. Everyone knew Hexi's current condition, and they also knew that if she didn't wake up, there would be no way to save her.

At this time, Fukang'an's proposal of marriage was like a gamble, and a gamble that was almost certain to lose.

Although Qianlong was a little moved when he heard it, there is a saying in ancient times that good luck can bring good luck.

But then he gave up the idea. He couldn't let down his old minister. This was almost like a ghost marriage. How could Fu Heng accept it?

"Yao Lin, I know you are a good person, but I cannot agree to your request. There is no need to mention this matter anymore."

"Your Majesty! Please grant me your blessing!" Fu Kang'an kowtowed again, and the sound was so strong that it made people tremble in their hearts.

He knew Hexi's situation, but marrying Hexi had been his long-cherished wish.

Many times, his life was on the line on the battlefield, and he managed to escape from the gates of hell by relying on this motivation.

Now his beloved is in a coma, and he knows what the imperial physician said. He doesn't want to, and can't, lose her!

In this life, He Xi is his only one.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Qianlong's imperial aura was naturally strong. He was looking at Fu Kang'an and was also surprised.

He loves his daughter very much, but it is really difficult to ask himself, as a man, whether he would still marry her when he knows that his lover has narrowly escaped death.

He was surprised that Fu Kang'an had the courage to propose to Hexi at this time, no matter what his purpose was.

"Fukang'an, Hexi is my most beloved daughter. Even if she dies, you will have to take care of her alone in the future. Are you sure you still want to marry her?" Qianlong was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Fu Kang'an said without hesitation.

Fu Kang'an's straightforwardness left Qianlong at a loss as to how to respond.

As a father, he certainly hoped that his daughter could meet the man who would be with her through life and death, but as an emperor, he hesitated.

"Your father wouldn't approve of that."

"Your Majesty, I can make the decision myself, and my father agrees."

"Oh?" Qianlong had been surprised many times. How could this kid Fuheng agree to such a ridiculous idea?

Before Fu Kang'an came to ask for an audience with the emperor, he had already looked for Fu Heng.

Fu Heng did not oppose as strongly as Qianlong had imagined. He thought for a moment and only asked him one question.

"To be disrespectful, if the princess unfortunately dies, will you still guard her?"

"Yes, Ama." Fu Kang'an looked apologetic but his words were firm. It was obvious that he had thought it over carefully.

I'm sorry only because I have failed my parents in nurturing me.

Fu Heng unexpectedly agreed readily.

He has no shortage of sons. Fukangan's two older brothers also have children. If all else fails, he can adopt one.

Most importantly, Fu Kang'an's firmness comforted Fu Heng, as his son had grown up and had his own ideas.

"Yao Lin, a man must be responsible when he marries a wife." This is also true even in He Xi's current situation.
