The Fourth Master's Dog

As the days passed, the brothers' health deteriorated day by day.

The fourth prince Yinzhen has recovered, but he has lost a lot of weight and looks a little frail.

His face has a yellowish tint, nothing like the chubby, rosy, and healthy look he had when he was still a little girl.

However, my health has improved a lot now, and I just need to be isolated for a while to ensure complete recovery.

……

Duofu got up very early today because today was the day when the princes were released from lockdown, and now the princes who survived have all recovered.

The prince's lockdown was about to be lifted, and the smallpox in various parts of the harem had already been dealt with. Those who were infected with smallpox were thrown out of the palace for isolation early on.

The smallpox in the palace was considered to be cured, but the problem outside the palace was not completely solved. However, with the treatment of cowpox, the number of people who survived smallpox was nine out of ten more than before.

Kangxi was very satisfied with the result. During the entire smallpox process, only his sixth prince contracted smallpox and died.

When Kangxi thought of that, he couldn't help but feel the pain in the softness deep in his heart.

I don’t know what Kangxi was thinking about.

"Liang Jiugong."

Liang Jiugong ran in first and knelt on the ground to answer.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De fainted when she heard that... the Sixth Prince did not survive the smallpox."

Liang Jiugong felt very sad. After living in fear for more than half a month, another bad thing happened today.

Ever since the Sixth Prince died of smallpox, none of the servants who served him dared to mention the Sixth Prince in front of His Majesty.

Who dares to mention it?

His Majesty is unhappy.

The servants in the Yangxin Palace were not strong enough for His Majesty to chop off. Liang Jiugong himself was beaten twice, not to mention others.

There are also many people who were unlucky and lost their lives.

Especially the day before yesterday, there was a pretty palace maid who served tea and flirted in front of His Majesty, hoping to gain his favor.

Liang Jiugong couldn't help but admire her courage. At this time, she dared to make trouble for the Emperor. She was really lucky.

As expected by Liang Jiugong, the slightly pretty palace maid who served tea was dragged out and beaten to death.

At that time, Liang Jiugong was standing behind a pillar not far from the Emperor. He carefully shrunk his figure, not daring to make any noise, and pretended to be a pillar.

In that place, I can see the Emperor, so in case he needs instructions, I can understand them immediately, but I also can avoid disturbing the Emperor in case someone sees him and wants to beat him with a stick.

When Liang Jiugong saw the palace maid serving tea, he rushed forward to cause trouble, and felt relieved in his heart. The Emperor had vented his temper today, and it would not be his turn.

Where can I expect it?

The palace maid had just been dragged out and had not been hit with the board many times.

His Majesty made him a hat that sounded disrespectful in front of the palace.

He was also dragged out and beaten with a stick. Although the people under him tried to show mercy, no matter how much mercy they showed, the stick still hurt when it hit the flesh.

Since then, Liang Jiugong never allowed those blind people to appear in front of Kangxi casually.

Unless Kangxi intended, nothing would be possible.

This created several severe obstacles for the palace maids serving tea in the Yangxin Palace in their bid to compete for the emperor's favor in the future.

Kangxi hurried out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and looked back at Liang Jiugong who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Hurry up and follow me, you little slave! Are you waiting for me to beat you with a stick?"

Liang Jiugong struggled to get up from the ground and quickly followed Kangxi's steps.

The wound on his butt hurts every time he takes a step. He kneeled so hard just now that his knee must be purple.

When Kangxi arrived at Yonghe Palace, he found it empty. Concubine De, Uya, had gone to the prince's residence in a sedan chair.

I heard from the palace maids serving in Yonghe Palace that Concubine De had fainted. She woke up slowly before the imperial physician arrived. After waking up, she asked people to prepare to go to the prince's residence, saying that she didn't believe that the Sixth Prince had not survived the smallpox.

Someone below must have passed on the wrong message. The people in the palace couldn't persuade the empress, so they prepared a sedan chair and it had been gone for more than two quarters of an hour.

Kangxi's eyes were cold, without a trace of emotion, he turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence.

"Don't keep these useless slaves in Yonghe Palace. Drag them to the Ministry of Punishment."

The servants of all ranks in the Yonghe Palace knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy, but Kangxi had already walked away, with no intention of taking back his order.

---

The Prince's Residence was very lively today. Not only were there princes, but also concubines from various palaces. They all followed the main concubine to come and congratulate the princes for surviving smallpox.

Concubine Tong's confinement is almost over. Today, the prince's office has come to take the fourth prince Yinzhen to Chengqian Palace, intending to cultivate their relationship and make up for the estrangement from the past period of time.

Now, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen has just recovered from a serious illness. He is feeling empty inside, and this is the best time for someone to take advantage of the situation. If one wants to bridge the gap, this is the best time period.

Concubine Tong also planned so, since the Fourth Prince Yinzhen survived the smallpox.

This proves that he is still a blessed person. After raising her for so many years, Concubine Tong still has some feelings for her.

I have feelings for any cat or dog I raise, after all, I raised them myself.

When Concubine Tong looked at the girl in front of her, whose belly was slightly bulging and whose face was full of grief, Concubine De Uya, she felt happy.

It’s better to be a little sadder, because you can’t keep the baby in your belly.

Concubine De Uya looked at the empty bed, and the small figure of the Sixth Prince was no longer there.

The servants who served the Sixth Prince had already been punished by Kangxi.

Since they failed to take good care of the Sixth Prince who had smallpox, they should die with their master.

Those who served the Sixth Prince were all infected with smallpox. Without any medicine to treat it, they died in agony.

Concubine De Uya could not stand and fell on the palace maid who was serving her, and burst into tears.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"My Sixth Prince, Sixth Prince."

As she cried, she suddenly raised her head, looked fiercely at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen who was standing beside Concubine Tong, and her voice was full of malice.

"Why aren't you dead? Why aren't you dead?"

"You debt collector, how come you're not the one who died?"

……

As he said this, he wanted to go up and capture the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

At that moment, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was completely frightened. He knew that his biological mother did not like him, but he never knew it.

It turns out that his biological mother wanted him to die.

Looking at Concubine De Uya who was cursing hysterically.

The fourth prince Yinzhen just stood there blankly, as if he was frightened silly.

A roar came over.

"Don't let anyone hold Depin for me."

The people serving nearby were all very cautious, for fear of accidentally harming Concubine De's dragon fetus, which would otherwise be enough to get beheaded even if they had ten lives.

Concubine Tong seemed to have reacted at last. She pulled the Fourth Prince Yinzhen over and held him in her arms.

Soothingly.

"My dear Fourth Prince, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You are my child."
