After Qionghua received the news, her heart tightened.

"What kind of disease is Han Ama suffering from? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"Reporting to the princess, it is not clear at the moment. The imperial physicians accompanying the army have prescribed a lot of medicine, but none of them seem to help the emperor's condition..."

Even though she knew that the accompanying imperial physician should not be blamed, Qionghua still felt a little angry.However, it is more important to cure Kangxi's illness right now.No matter from the perspective of Kangxi and her relationship, or from the perspective of her own interests, Kangxi cannot fall down at this time.

Kangxi is Qionghua's Ama, who has always loved her very much and almost responded to her requests. Qionghua naturally hopes that he can return safely. Now the prince is in power in Beijing, and the prince has a lot of opinions on the fourth prince under Suo'etu's favor , has been looking for reasons to find fault, even from this level, Qionghua also hopes that Kangxi can come back as soon as possible.Living under Kangxi's hand is much more comfortable than living under his half-brother.

"What are the specific manifestations of Khan Ama's illness this time?"

The little eunuch who came to answer the conversation looked at the thin shirt on Qionghua's body and said, "It's midsummer now, and the place where the emperor is is hotter than in Beijing. However, the servant heard that the emperor was shivering with cold, and his lips were tingling. purple……"

Qionghua listened to this person's various descriptions, and found that Kangxi's illness was exactly the same as malaria, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.Knowing what kind of disease Kangxi is suffering from, it will be easier to deal with it next.I hope that Kangxi and the people around him can find out that the medicine she gave Kangxi in the sachet can cure Kangxi's illness as soon as possible. Yi Kelang box and concubine Wei carried quinine, a medicine for treating malaria.

Qionghua sorted out her thoughts and went to talk about it with Queen Tong.

Of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, you can't directly name Chuan Yijun, it is best to find someone in the name of searching for a miracle doctor all over the country to treat Kangxi's illness.Since it is inconvenient for Qionghua and Queen Tong to handle this matter in the harem, it is best to leave this matter to Yinzhen.

It just so happened that Yinzhen had clashed with an official under the crown prince these days, and his relationship with the crown prince is now tense. The crown prince felt that as long as the people under him were loyal to him, a little flaw would not hurt, and Yinzhen targeted him everywhere. The people under his command just don't give him face as an elder brother.Yinzhen has an unruffled personality, and he is strict with both his own people and people from other factions.Yinzhen felt that some of the crown prince's subordinates were eating vegetarian food, relying on the crown prince's name to shake their prestige in the court. This kind of behavior was very inappropriate, which made him very uncomfortable, so he naturally wanted to express his opinion.

With this coming and going, the conflict between the prince and Yinzhen became even bigger.The prince also deprived Yinzhen of some of his powers.

Queen Tong and Qionghua were quite worried about this.If there is a conflict with the crown prince at this stall, it will be Yinzhen who suffers.Now is a good opportunity, if Yinzhen can use the pretext of finding a doctor for Kangxi to avoid the crown prince temporarily, that would be the best.

After Queen Tong called Yinzhen into the palace and had a conversation with Yinzhen, Yinzhen agreed to the proposal of Queen Tong and Qionghua, and said to his mother-in-law and younger sister: "Ama Khan is critically ill at the border. There are quite a few people who know about this now, and the situation is likely to be turbulent recently, Er Niang and younger sister must be careful. According to Suo Etu and Mingzhu's temperament, they will definitely do something this time."

"Don't worry, no matter what happened in the previous court, it will not hinder our harem. Tomorrow, I will go to report to the emperor's grandmother and empress empress. I want to take Qionghua to the royal temple to eat vegetarian food and pray for the emperor."

"This is a good idea. In this way, Erniang and younger sister can avoid this dispute. It's just that Erniang and younger sister are going out, so they need to bring more guards with them."

If Kangxi came back safe and sound, those who kept changing in secret would be unlucky, and the three mother and son who kept their own place and worked hard for Kangxi's safety would naturally be appreciated by Kangxi.If something happened to Kangxi, they took the initiative to avoid it at this juncture, and they seldom helped each other. No matter whether the crown prince was the last one, they would not come to trouble them.

Since receiving the news that Kangxi was seriously ill, the Queen Mother has been worshiping Buddha in the small Buddhist hall of Shoukang Palace and transcribing scriptures for Kangxi.In her life, there were not many people and things she cared about, and Kangxi was one of them.She married Shunzhi because of a political marriage, but she didn't like Shunzhi, and she almost started to live as a widow after entering the palace. Although she had everything she wanted, she had no relatives to accompany her, and she didn't have a son or a half under her knees.Fortunately, after Kangxi lost his mother, he often respected her as his mother-in-law. After these years of getting along, she also regarded Kangxi as her own flesh and blood.

At the time of Kangxi's accident, the palace people had their own ghosts for their own interests, but the Queen Mother was definitely one of the people who most hoped that Kangxi would be safe and sound.

After the Queen Mother heard Queen Tong say that in order to show her sincerity, she decided to take Qionghua to the royal temple to pray for Kangxi, so that Kangxi could return safely. Nodding his head, he said very relievedly: "Just do what the queen said. The emperor was right when he wanted to make you queen. You are not only gentle and honest, but also have extraordinary means. You have managed this harem in an orderly manner. , What is rare is that you are sincere to the emperor. Unlike some people, who say they care about the emperor, hmph, what kind of plans are you thinking about! One by one, you want to find out the latest news about the emperor. , as if everyone else is stupid and can't see their little thoughts!"

Obviously, these days, many ghosts and snakes in the harem have surfaced, even the queen mother who is not very sensitive to palace affairs can feel it.

Among the people mentioned by the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui was the first to bear the brunt, followed by Concubine Ping and Concubine Yi.Concubine Hui was very concerned about Kangxi's safety because of her son. After all, if something happened to Kangxi this time, and her son was far away from Qianshao and couldn't come back for a while, wouldn't the throne be cheaper for the crown prince?Although Concubine Ping has always been low-key in the palace and seems to have nothing to do with the world, whether Kangxi surnamed Heshesang is safe or not, and if something happens to Kangxi, whether the prince can successfully succeed to the throne is naturally closely related to her.

As for Concubine Yi, her son is still young, and has not shown any intention of seizing the heir for the time being, so she is not as urgent as the former two to inquire about these news.When she was inquiring, she was also more skillful than the previous two, so as not to arouse the empress dowager's disgust.

Empress Tong now has eyes and ears all over the harem, so she is quite clear about these things.After hearing these words from the Queen Mother, she turned her eyes and decided to send someone to watch Concubine Hui and Concubine Ping in the near future.Through their changes, it is possible to infer the movements of their respective natal families.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's haggard look, Qionghua couldn't help holding her hand: "Don't worry, Grandmother, Khan Ama will be fine."

It was obviously a very simple sentence, but it made the queen mother smile. As if she had drawn strength from Qionghua's words, the queen mother solemnly held Qionghua's hand: "You are right, nothing will happen to the emperor. All these years , Has the emperor experienced too many storms and waves? When did he not get through it safely? Besides, God sent you to our royal family. With you, the emperor will surely turn danger into good fortune."

After leaving the Empress Dowager's place, Queen Tong and Qionghua went to the Empress Dowager's place again.

The Empress Dowager is old, but her body is quite healthy, because Qionghua often comes to the Compassionate Ning Palace to accompany her, and always sends her some supplements that are good for health and beauty. With white hair and a childlike face, she looks more energetic than some old lords who are ten years younger than her.

Over the years, the Empress Dowager has long been out of touch with the affairs of the previous dynasty and the harem, and only includes Sun Nongyi on weekdays, talking with the Empress Dowager from time to time, or discussing beauty care with Qionghua.As soon as she saw Qionghua, she affectionately called Qionghua to her side: "Come on, the Ai family knew you were coming, so they ordered the small kitchen to prepare your favorite pastries."

The kindness of a cavity is beyond words.

Qionghua skillfully moved to the Empress Dowager's side, twisted a piece of pastry, first brought it to the Empress Dowager's lips for the Empress Dowager to taste, then handed another piece to Empress Tong, and finally ate it by herself. I saw her cheeks bulging like a little squirrel after eating.

After eating the cakes, the Empress Dowager lovingly took out her handkerchief and wiped the crumbs from the corners of Qionghua's mouth. Here at home, I’m afraid there is something you want to tell Aijia? If Aijia’s prediction is correct, what the queen wants to tell Aijia has something to do with the emperor?”

"Exactly." Empress Tong said to the Empress Dowager what she had said to the Empress Dowager again.

The Empress Dowager listened with a thoughtful expression.She is not as simple as the queen mother, she only cares about Kangxi's safety.After all, she is a woman who has gone through three dynasties and has listened to politics behind the curtain. Naturally, the empress dowager's political accomplishment is much higher than that of the empress dowager. The Tong family behind the queen hoped that Kangxi would be safe and sound based on their own standpoint, but if Kangxi really made a mistake, they were not prepared to participate in the possible turmoil.

"Queen, you are a smart person. That's why the Ai family and the emperor liked you so much." The Empress Dowager took a deep look at Queen Tong: "Since you have a plan in mind, follow your plan bring it on."

In fact, not only Queen Tong has considered the worst case, but also the Empress Dowager. As a person who has assisted the emperors of two dynasties and dealt with officials, she is much more realistic than the Queen Mother and Queen Tong.Emotionally, she didn't want anything to happen to her grandson, but rationally, she had already prepared for the worst.If something unexpected happened to Kangxi...then, in order to stabilize the situation, she would choose to support the crown prince.

Queen Tong's attitude of avoiding suspicion also made the Empress Dowager very satisfied.At least if it really comes to the point where a new emperor needs to be established, Empress Tong and Yinzhen will not become obstacles to the prince - the prince's suppression of Yinzhen is obvious to all these days, and the empress dowager is really worried that Queen Tong's mother and son will retaliate against the prince.

Fortunately, Queen Tong's mother and son still understand the general situation after all.

If Kangxi really can't come back this time, then in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, it is imperative to make the crown prince the new king.But if Kangxi came back safe and sound... Then, let's talk about the future.If the prince is still suitable to be the crown prince, let him do it, if the prince is no longer suitable to be the crown prince...then, the empress dowager and Kangxi can only feel sorry for Heshe. Jiangshan is more important.

The empress dowager has a deep affection for the prince, but the prince was fine when he was a child. Since he grew up and entered the court, the empress dowager felt a little inappropriate, especially two of them, which made the empress dowager feel particularly uncomfortable. OK.First, the prince was too obedient to Suo'etu, so that he was at odds with Yinzhen's brothers and sisters;

It is human nature to be close to his family. After Kangxi ascended the throne, he was also very close to his mother's family, Tong's family. The Tong family really became a great help for Kangxi's subordinates. As a standard, this is over.In the future, if the crown prince ascends to the high position, will the crown prince have the final say, or will Suo'etu have the final say?

The Empress Dowager did not doubt the loyalty of He Shezhen, but people's ambitions will grow step by step. When Oboi was in Shunzhi, he was still loyal to Shunzhi. Later, he faced the orphan Widowed mother, isn't ambition inflated?Only the Crown Prince's jealousy towards Hesheshan made the Empress Dowager very dissatisfied, and felt that the Crown Prince was not a qualified heir.Because of this, the empress dowager also called the prince to talk to him, expressly hinting at him several times, but every time, the prince ignored him and turned around to get close to Suo'etu. The empress dowager was also very helpless about this.

Let me talk about the second point. Although the prince said that if there is no accident, he will inherit the great power in the future, but he is still just a prince now. dissatisfaction.The empress dowager's love for her great-grandson was true, but in front of her grandson, even the great-grandson had to back off.Compared with the prince, the empress dowager cared more about Kangxi after all. The prince and Kangxi had conflicts, so the empress dowager naturally favored Kangxi.

But the most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation in Beijing and find a way to cure Kangxi's illness.

……

At the border, the elder brother anxiously wanted to visit Kangxi, but failed again.When he came out, he was blocked by a tree with a crooked neck, and he punched the tree hard as if venting his anger.

These days, because of Kangxi's serious illness, the atmosphere in the entire barracks is not right.

Since Kangxi hadn't shown up for several days, some ministers even suspected that Kangxi had passed away unfortunately, and they kept the mourning secret just to stabilize people's hearts.Of course, they speculated like this in private, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.After all, Emperor Kangxi's mental skills have always been good, and people can't guess what he really thinks in his heart. If they guess wrong, Kangxi is just recovering from his illness. In fact, there is nothing serious about it. We must write them down in our hearts.

Elder Brother obviously had a similar guess, so he was more anxious than anyone else.If Kangxi is still fine, that's all. If Kangxi really died, he has to press the news and rush back to the capital as soon as possible to prevent Yinfeng from taking the throne.Taking a step back, if Kangxi hadn't died, but just fell into a coma, the elder brother would be able to rush back to the capital as quickly as possible.But the difficulty now is that he has no way to determine what Kangxi's situation is, and he can't even see Kangxi's face!

This time the elder brother followed Kangxi to fight against Galdan and made great achievements, which was a good thing.But if Kangxi is really unfortunate enough to pass away and allow the crown prince to ascend the throne, this feat will instead become a reminder for the elder brother!

Eldest brother didn't like such a passive situation, he thought, it would be great if Mingzhu was there, so at least there would be someone with whom he could discuss matters.

The big brother who remembers being like an ant in a hot pot doesn't know that his every move falls into the eyes of caring people.

In the main tent, Kangxi, who was supposed to be bedridden, was sitting on a chair at this time. His face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and he was listless. , obviously, he was wounded on the battlefield.However, it was rumored that he was seriously ill and was very afraid of the cold, which was not seen in him at all.I don't know whether Kangxi has released fake news to the outside world, the master's mind has always been difficult to guess.

The people below lowered their heads, while facing Kangxi and reporting the situation outside, they made random guesses.

When Kangxi listened to the subordinates reporting the elder brother's actions these days one by one, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.His son, as expected, has grown up, he is staring at his old father's position, and can't wait to take his place!

For Kangxi, this battle was indeed a narrow escape.The first time he encountered death threats was when he attacked the Galdan tribe in front of Camel City.At that time, Galdan was besieged for several days and had reached the point of desperation. He could only desperately assassinate Kangxi, hoping to kill Kangxi or severely injure him, so that the Qing army was in chaos and found a way out for himself.

The sneak attack came too suddenly, Kangxi dodged several arrows, but failed to dodge the last one.That arrow was aimed straight at Kangxi's heart, if it hit, Kangxi would have no way out!Fortunately, Kangxi hung the amulet given by Qionghua around his neck, and because of the amulet blocking it, Galdan's arrow missed a little bit.It was these slight gaps that allowed Kangxi to regain his life.

With the careful care of the imperial physician accompanying the army, although Kangxi was seriously injured, it was not life-threatening.However, the resistance of injured patients like Kangxi is very weak, so just after the first crisis, the second crisis swept quickly-Kangxi suffered from malaria.

At the beginning, the accompanying imperial physician failed to diagnose Kangxi's illness, and none of the medicines prescribed to Kangxi could relieve Kangxi's symptoms.Serious injuries and illnesses made Kangxi's life in danger several times, but the imperial physicians were helpless.Later, Liang Jiugong couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded Kangxi that before the expedition, the eighth princess gave Kangxi a purse, rewarding him with white pong ┮, Kangxi might as well give it a try.

Liang Jiugong is Kangxi's confidant, so he naturally knew that the amulet given to Kangxi by the eighth princess had saved Kangxi's life on the battlefield.

According to Liang Jiugong's thinking, since the things given by the eighth princess can save Kangxi once, it may not be impossible to save Kangxi a second time.The princess is the lucky star of the Qing Dynasty, maybe she can bless Kangxi to recover from illness.

Kangxi approved Liang Jiugong's proposal, and gave Liang Jiugong the sachet that Qionghua had given him that night, and asked Liang Jiugong to secretly boil the medicine for him to take.The two were just dead horses acting as live horse doctors. Unexpectedly, Kangxi's illness really improved the next day.At Kangxi's request, Liang Jiugong concealed the news.

While announcing that Kangxi's condition had worsened, he secretly boiled medicine for Kangxi until Kangxi recovered.

Kangxi did this because he also wanted to see who in the army would disagree and how his sons would react when he was "critically ill".

He knew very well that if something happened to him, the crown prince who was far away in the capital would definitely succeed, and the elder brother who was going out with him would most likely try to stop the crown prince.When he got to that point, he closed his eyes and had nothing to say, everything depends on his ability.

But right now, Kangxi is only "critically ill". He wants to know whether his sons will care about the life and death of this Ama, and will feel sorry for him because of his illness...

Unfortunately, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.Kangxi hardly felt any "worries" in the elder brother's body, which also made him feel chills for this son who has always been loved very much.Big brother is like this, but what will happen to the prince who is far away in the capital.

A few days later, the elder brother who had been entangled for a long time finally decided not to wait any longer. He expected that Kangxi would no longer be able to take charge, at least fell into a coma, and he would hurry back to the capital.

Of course, it is impossible for him to say that he hurried back to the capital to compete with the prince for the throne. The reason he gave on the surface was that the medical conditions here are not good, and only by bringing Kangxi back to the capital as soon as possible can Kangxi get Better treatment.

In this regard, many generals in the army are against it.I don't know what's going on with Kangxi right now. I don't listen to Kangxi's order and act without authorization. If Kangxi pursues him later, it will be a felony.

But some people think that extraordinary things should be done in extraordinary times.If Kangxi is awake, these people should listen to Kangxi, but Kangxi is not in good condition right now, maybe he has already gone, if they can escort eldest brother back to Beijing and support eldest brother to take the position, they will have Conglong Thanks!Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought in danger. Such a great opportunity is in front of them, why don't they give it a try?If they stop Big Brother, and later Big Brother takes over, there will be no good fruit for them!

Big Brother's thoughts soon reached Kangxi's ears.Kangxi smiled coldly, and told those who were loyal to him: "Let's do what Yinyi wants for now."

For this eldest son, he was extremely disappointed.Right now, he still wants to see how the prince who is far away in Beijing will react.

……

When the crown prince sitting in the middle of the capital received the news that Kangxi's condition was unknown at the moment, and the elder brother was leading the army back at full speed, his brows twitched fiercely: "It seems that the situation of Khan Ama is not good. Otherwise, Yinyin wouldn't be in such a hurry."

"It's not just bad!" Suo'etu said coldly: "If the emperor is still alive, how would Yinyi dare to act so boldly? According to my opinion, the emperor has probably died! Eldest elder brother competed with you for the throne for His Royal Highness. Concealed the news, and hurried back with the army to force the palace! Your Highness, we don't have many people at hand now, and the military power in the capital is in the hands of the Tong family, so we have to make plans as soon as possible."

Yinfeng was terrified after being analyzed by Suo'etu, thinking that his father might have gone, and he was infinitely close to the position he dreamed of. At the same time, because of the existence of Yinfeng, he was also facing an unprecedented crisis. I couldn't help trembling, both excited and nervous.

Are you sad?Maybe there is, after all, the prince and Kangxi used to be such a good father and son.Although this relationship became less strong after the conflict between the two parties intensified.

But the slight sadness was soon overwhelmed by the desire for power.

"Then according to my uncle's opinion, what should Gu do?"

Suo'etu looked at Yinfeng fixedly: "Ascend to the throne, in the name of the new emperor, order the elder brother to help the spirit of the former emperor return to Beijing alone, but if he refuses, he will be killed!"
