First Prince of Qing Dynasty

palace.

Kangxi's complexion was pale at the moment, and he described it as haggard.Yinti helped him to sit up, took the medicine bowl from Liang Jiugong's hand and waited for Kangxi to drink it, his brows were tightly frowned: "This medicine Khan Ama has been taking for several days, and I don't seem to see much improvement. The imperial doctor is here, Why don't Imperial Physician Xuan come to check the pulse again and change the prescription?"

Kangxi shook his head: "This medicine is very good, no need."

"But Khan Ama..."

Kangxi raised his hand to interrupt him, and said again: "No need."

Yinti had no choice but to give up, looking at Kangxi suspiciously.He Khan Ama has never been a person who shies away from diseases, what's going on now?Only Kangxi understood that he was not suffering from wind-cold disease, and that the low-grade fever he had shown in the past two days was only caused by his unbearable grief.The root is not in this, but in the heart.

There is no problem with the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician. In addition to dealing with his low-grade fever, it also has the purpose of strengthening the body and strengthening the body.His complexion hasn't improved obviously, it's not because of the medicine, but because he feels uneasy.

Kangxi looked at Yinti: "As a lieutenant general in the army, how can you keep guarding me? Seeing that the army is about to go to war, the lieutenant general is not in the camp, what's going on!"

"My minister is worried about Khan Ama. This place is not very far from the camp. When the prince arrives, I can ride there day and night on horseback. At that time, the prince will take care of Khan Ama, so I can rest assured."

Speaking of the prince, Kangxi's heart trembled uncontrollably for a moment.

Yinti looked at his face, hesitated and said: "I don't know where the prince has gone, but the day should have arrived. Could it be on the way..."

Yinti paused, "Your minister is talkative. Don't worry, Ama Khan, the prince Yijia has personal guards by his side, so nothing will happen. The prince has not arrived yet, so he may have been delayed in Beijing. After all, the prince led the It is an important task, even if you receive a letter from Khan Ama, you must first arrange the matter at hand with the officials before you can go."

The crown prince supervises the country, holds power, and ignores the illness of the emperor's father for the sake of power. How intentional is it?

It's a pity that Kangxi didn't hear the main point behind his words at all, and his mind was full of the prelude to the next sentence: Could it be that on the road...on the road...

Kangxi raised his heart.It was he who was thinking about it.He shouldn't have called Yinfeng over in a hurry just to see him.What if something happens to Yinfeng on the way because of his summons!How many pairs of eyes stared at the prince when he left Beijing.Although there are personal guards, what if?

Kangxi stood up suddenly: "Prince...the prince can't do anything. Yinti..."

Kangxi originally wanted to send an order to Yinti, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.Thinking of Yinti's thoughts in the past, even though he performed well in the past two years and was quite respectful to the prince, Kangxi still had concerns, and his complicated expression flashed past.

Baocheng cannot have any mistakes.At such a time, he dared not entrust Baocheng's safety casually.He couldn't take even the slightest risk.

With a flash of thought, Kangxi changed the subject and asked Liang Jiugong, "Where are the people from Suo'etu?"

"Master Suo and Lord Nalan are both in the palace at the moment."

"Let Suo'etu take 500 people to meet the prince."

Counting all the people around him at present, only Suo'etu is the most suitable.Even if Suo'etu had many bad things, he was sure of one thing.That is, Suo'etu would rather die by himself than let the prince suffer any damage.

Yinti was stunned on the spot, feeling more and more heavy.I thought that Khan Ama would be a little touched when the prince supervised the country, but Khan Ama didn't listen to his words at all, and all the emphasis was only on the first half.All he was worried about was whether something would happen to the prince.

Prince, prince.Khan Ama is full of princes, what is he?What is he!They are all the same sons of Khan Ama, why is there such a big difference!

Yinti's internal organs seemed to be ignited by a huge fire, which made him ache all over.Liang Jiugong has been ordered to go out to spread the word.He could only turn around, pretending to serve tea to hide his emotions.He couldn't show it, especially not in front of Khan Ama.Otherwise, his two years of hard work would have been in vain, and his efforts would have fallen short.

Suppressing the anger that filled his heart, Yinti turned around, took over the slave's work, and served Kangxi respectfully and well.

Looking at the water glass handed to him, Kangxi came back to his senses.

Yinti smiled and comforted: "Ama Khan is also tired, why don't you drink a cup of tea and take it easy, my son will help you to go to bed and rest."

Kangxi shook his head, how could he sleep at the moment.

Yinti sighed softly: "Ama Khan has not slept well for several days, if this continues, the crown prince will see it when he arrives, and he will feel uneasy."

Kangxi paused, "You're right, I can't make Baocheng worry. I'll rest for a while."

Yinti: ...what if I get even more angry.

Waiting for Kangxi to lie down, Yinti retreated lightly, and returned to his room, his face instantly collapsed.His fists were clenched, his knuckles crackling.

Does Khan Ama think he has only one son, the crown prince?How can anyone be partial like this!

However, Khan Ama's attitude is particularly wrong in the past few days, although he is not partial to the prince for a day or two.But in the early stage of the army's expedition, Khan Ama was not like this.He drives by Khan Ama's side every day, and getting along with Khan Ama is considered a happy one.Khan Ama also asked him his opinion on this battle, taught him how to deal with it, and asked him to study hard with his uncle.

At that time, everything was normal.But just as he was about to reach Ulan Butong, Khan Ama's tent was suddenly lit up in the middle of the night, and there was a lot of noise.He was close, and when he heard the movement, he rushed over, and saw Han Ama's face was pale, with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, as if he was crazy. He didn't even wear shoes and socks, so he got out of bed and walked out, shouting the prince's name .

It was only after being reminded by everyone that this was the camp, and the prince had never accompanied him on the expedition.Then Khan Ama said he wanted to go back to Beijing, and he wanted to go back to Beijing immediately, and hurried back to Beijing, he wanted to see the prince.He must see the prince.

However, he was staggering when he walked, and fell twice in a short distance from the bedside to the tent door.Even so, he refused to listen to his and Liang Jiugong's persuasion, waved away their obstruction, insisted on going his own way, and wanted to rush out.Fell down several times and got up several times.In the end, he and Liang Jiugong helped him back together.

In this situation, who would dare to let him rush back to Beijing?In desperation, he could only propose to send a letter to the prince and let the prince come quickly.It took a long time to appease and persuade Khan Ama to stabilize him, and let Khan Ama agree to stay in the palace temporarily to recuperate.

Yinti frowned.Khan Ama's behavior this time is too abnormal.What happened that night?He wanted to find out about Liang Jiugong, but Liang Jiugong kept his mouth tight and said he didn't know.He waited on Khan Amma all night, how could he not know.It's clearly an excuse!

Yinti gritted his teeth.This expedition to Junggar, with him as the lieutenant general, is an excellent opportunity to claim credit.He knew very well that he should be in the barracks even for military merit.

Khan Amma's appearance made him very uneasy.He always felt as if there was something, more and more beyond his expectations.He could only think that when the prince came over, he might be able to see something.He always wanted to know what was going on.With the current situation of the army, I hope he can rush back by then.

the other side.

Although Kangxi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he still had something in his mind, and after all he couldn't fall asleep completely, but after squinting for more than a quarter of an hour, he was awakened again by the scene that repeatedly appeared in the dream, and he just lay on the bed with his eyes open. focal length.Although the person is there, the soul does not know where it has drifted away.

The scene this time is different from the previous two and is new.Since it appeared in a dream a few days ago, it has been repeated frequently in recent days.

In the dream, he saw the ending of Yinfeng.Although after watching the first two scenes clearly and seeing Yinfeng's physical condition, he already had a guess.But guessing is guessing after all, he always has a little hope in his heart, hoping that Yinfeng can go out and heal up.But this time the dream shattered his fantasy.

Yinfeng was still dead after all, and passed away two years after his death.When Yinfeng went, he was broken and broken.It was a winter day, and it was snowing heavily outside.The charcoal fire inside the house is weak, not necessarily much warmer than outside.Although there are imperial physicians who diagnose the pulse, they don't pay much attention to prescribing medicines.

He was furious when he saw it, and wanted to reprimand the imperial physician, and wanted to order the servants to add a brazier to burn the earth dragon fire wall.But no one could see him, and no one could hear him.He just watched Yinfeng close his eyes little by little, and swallowed his last breath.

It was very hard for Yinrong to walk, even breathing was extremely difficult.But even so, he still heard Yinreng's imperceptible whispers when he was so angry.Yinfeng is calling Khan Ama.And after that?No more, Yinfeng spent all his energy and could only spit out these three words, and then he lost his breath.

At that moment, Kangxi felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained.Even if he insisted repeatedly that the people in his dream were not him and Yinfeng, he still really experienced the feeling of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

The so-called heartbreaking, the so-called heart-piercing, the so-called heart-piercing, nothing more.Waking up suddenly, he could still feel the throbbing pain in his heart.The pain made him curl up into a ball and he couldn't stand upright, and the pain made him gasp for air with his mouth open and it was difficult to breathe.

He asked himself why Yinfeng died.Is it because there is not enough charcoal fire in winter?Is it because the imperial physician is not dedicated?Maybe.But these are not the root cause.

Yinfeng was such a noble person in the past, but he saw these contemptuous treatment later, and didn't mention a word.He is used to it.Habit, what a cruel word.

There was no light in his eyes.In several dreams, Kangxi never saw him smile again.Oh no, once.The only time and the last time.When he died, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.Probably for Yinreng, this is his relief.

What exactly has he experienced, and what kind of environment he is in, that makes a person feel that death is a relief instead.

Who killed Yinfeng?It's not those charcoal fires, it's not the imperial physician, it's not the condescending treatment of slaves.It's him.It was his royal father who surrounded him and locked him in this suffocating cage.It's his various behaviors, it's his never summoning until death that destroys Yinreng's vitality again and again.

It was all because of him that Yinfeng ended up like this.

He personally killed Yinfeng and his own child.

Poor as he was dying, what Yinreng missed was still him, Khan Ama.

After waking up, Kangxi couldn't bear such a result, and couldn't believe it.He stumbled out of bed, seemingly insane.He desperately wants to return to Beijing.He can't wait to see Yinfeng.He must see Yinfeng.He wanted to see with his own eyes that Yinreng stood in front of him alive and well.

However, due to his current physical condition, it is not suitable for him to hurry, and all the officials stopped him and refused to let him go back.He can only stay in the palace, waiting every day.

Liang Jiugong's voice came from outside the door, vaguely seeming to say the word Prince.

Kangxi sat up in shock: "Prince, is the prince here?"

The door opened, Yinfeng entered, and was startled when he saw Kangxi's weak appearance: "Khan Ama!"

He rushed to the bed, and before he could salute, he was hugged by Kangxi: "Baocheng, it's you! It's really you! You're fine, you're still alive, you're fine. That's great."

Kangxi took him into his arms, hugging him tighter and tighter.It seems that only in this way can he truly feel that Yinfeng is real, not his fantasy.

Yinfeng was very confused.He subconsciously wanted to struggle, because the hug was too tight and he was about to suffocate to death.But noticing Kangxi's words and the uncontrollable trembling of the body holding him, Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, and finally did not move, acquiescing to Kangxi's behavior.

Yinzhi was even more confused, he had one leg inside the room and the other outside.In this situation, should he enter or not?It's so embarrassing.What on earth is he here for?He is superfluous!

Yinti who heard the news that the prince had arrived was not confused, but he was angry.My heart became even more angry.It's even more depressing to be so jealous that you have to hold back.

Yinzhi had concerns, but he didn't, and went in directly: "I have seen Khan Ama, and I have seen the prince."

Some salutes directly interrupted the warmth between Kangxi and Yinreng.

Yinzhi: ...that's too shameless.On purpose?On purpose?It must be intentional!

He pouted, then entered the house.

Kangxi's emotions were interrupted by Yinti, and he slowly pulled away from the lingering fear of the dream to recover.He let go of Yinfeng, looked at the healthy son in front of him, and felt a little more at ease.so far so good.That was a dream, not real.In reality, he is fine, Yinfeng is also fine, they are all fine.

Kangxi took a few deep breaths, suppressed the tens of thousands of thoughts in his mind, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked with a smile: "I just received the news this morning that Prince Yijia just left Gubeikou, why did he arrive so soon?"

"Khan Ama, my third brother and I rode in private, not with the ceremonial team."

Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood that Yinreng was playing on the plank road in the open and keeping the warehouse in the dark.In order to prevent someone with a heart from plotting, he kept a hand and set up a cover.

He looked at Yinreng, and then at Yinzhi next to him. Both of them were exhausted from the journey.Regret inevitably breeds in my heart.Look, just because of one of his dreams, he felt uneasy and insisted on seeing the child.It caused the children to run around for days, not to mention safety issues, even if they were not in danger, it would be a toss.

Kangxi's eyes flashed self-blame and distress.Yinfeng had already got up to inquire about Liang Jiugong and Kangxi's condition, and learned that after taking the medicine for several days, he still didn't feel better.Yinfeng frowned: "Is the prescription wrong? Which imperial doctor saw it, and what medicine did it prescribe?" After hearing the information, he said again: "Let the imperial doctor come again and try another prescription."

Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi, and Kangxi shook his head: "No need. The prescription is fine."

"No. Even if the prescription is okay, you have to ask the imperial doctor to make another diagnosis. There is no big mistake in being careful. It has something to do with Khan Ama's body, so don't play tricks. Always be cautious."

After finishing speaking, he didn't listen to Kangxi, and directly ordered Liang Jiugong, "Go and call all the accompanying imperial physicians, and take Khan Ama's pulse record and prescriptions for Gu to see."

As if afraid of Kangxi's objection, he turned his head and glared: "Khan Ama is not allowed to refuse, and I don't want to make fun of my own body so capriciously."

Kangxi: ...All right.

Seeing that Kangxi stopped talking, Yinreng was satisfied.Yinti felt even more uncomfortable.Didn't he say these words?Didn't he mention changing the prescription?Why did he say that Kangxi refused to agree to life and death, but once the crown prince said, he agreed?

Yinti's hand hanging by his side was clenched for an instant, and then released for an instant.

In fact, even if he got the pulse case and prescription, Yinfeng couldn't understand it.However, due to Yinfeng's many reforms in recent years, coupled with the promotion of Liu Taiyi.Today's pulse case writes not only the pulse condition, but also the development of the patient's condition, similar to the cases of later generations.Yinfeng didn't understand the technical term, but he could still see some of Kangxi's symptoms from it.

Looking at the daily medical records, Yinfeng was relieved that there was no severe crisis.Then the three imperial physicians took turns to take the pulse, discussed and perfected the prescription, and handed it over to the servants to get the medicine and boil it.

After finishing the matter, the imperial physician was about to leave, but was stopped by Kangxi again: "Show the prince and the third elder brother."

Both Yinreng and Yinzhi were taken aback.

"Khan Ama, we are disease-free, what are you looking at?"

Kangxi snorted: "Didn't you come here on horseback? You travel day and night, how can your thighs not be injured? Yinzhi almost couldn't stand still when he stood just now."

Yinzhi lowered his head: "My son is fine, son..."

"Still trying to be brave, just let you see!"

Yinzhi closed his mouth, but his face was very embarrassed.Kangxi naturally knew why he looked like this, it's just that the injury was not convenient, so it's not easy to look at it here.

Kangxi sighed: "Liang Jiugong has tidied up the house, let's go back and rest."

Seeing Yinfeng open his mouth, he said again: "I'm tired too, I want to rest for a while. Let's all go back. Yinti will also go back."

Yinfeng swallowed the words that came to his mouth, bowed in response, and led Yinzhi to leave.Yinti naturally couldn't stay any longer, the three of them left the house together and parted ways at the door.

After the imperial doctor looked at the injury, Yinreng went to Yinzhi's place again. At this time, Yinzhi had already rubbed the medicine and was lying on the bed.

"Second brother!"

"Lie down, you don't need to get up. Gu is here to see how your injury is. It's not good for Gu, who didn't consider this. Although you have learned riding and archery for several years, and your skills are not bad, you have never ridden for such a long time. The horse of time. Why don’t you say anything. If Khan Ama hadn’t discovered it today, I wouldn’t know about it. I’ve been negligent along the way.”

Yinzhi shook his head: "How can you blame the second brother. The second brother is worried about Khan Ama, and I am also worried about Khan Ama, and I want to get there sooner. The letter is not exhaustive, but you can guess Khan Ama in just a few words." Ma may have vomited blood. Second brother is anxious, I understand. Two years ago, Khan Ama also vomited blood and was unconscious for half a day. Second brother..."

Yinzhi hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

Yinzhi hesitated again and again, but still asked: "Is there something wrong with Khan Ama's appearance today?"

How could he hug the second brother to death as soon as he entered the door.And the expression of Khan Ama at that time, and what he said, what does it mean that you are still alive, and what does it mean that you are well?What's happening here?

Yinreng vaguely guessed what was going on, and sighed, "I guess it's just a nightmare."

Yinzhi:? ? ?

Such a big reaction in a dream?You are kidding me.

"I probably dreamed that I died alone."

Yinzhi: ...how could you have such a dream for no reason?Still vomiting blood because of such a dream?It is because of such a dream that he hastily summoned his second brother here?

Yinzhi couldn't understand, so he stopped understanding, turned his head and talked about Yinti: "When you hugged Han Ama today, the elder brother looked very bad. Although he concealed it quickly, I still saw it."

Yinfeng's expression flickered: "It is said that when Khan Ama was sick this time, he kept calling Gu's name. He didn't say why afterward, but only sent a message to call Gusu. He must have had many guesses. , wondering if there is an opportunity here.

"However, with the lessons learned from two years ago, he dare not act rashly. I heard that these days, he is a lieutenant general, and he will never return to the camp. He heard about Mixin here. Unfortunately, he was disappointed again, how could he be happy. Besides, he has never been angry that Ama loves Gu. He..."

Yinfeng paused, if Kangxi's preference for him made Yinti uncomfortable, what about the other brothers?

Yinreng looked at Yinzhi with a guilty look on his face: "I know that Khan Ama is very partial to Gu, which is unfair to you. Gu..."

Yinfeng didn't know what to say.He is the one who is favored, the one who benefits the most.It seems that no matter what you say, it is too light and false.

"Second brother, I understand. It's not that Ama Khan doesn't love me at all. You see, he also noticed that my legs are not right, and I'm tired from standing. To be honest, I used to be a little bit tasteful.

"But the fourth brother said it well. There are many diseases in this world that can be cured by medicine, but the parents are not biased. A bowl of water is easy to say, but how many people can really do it? After all, the five fingers are long or short. My heart didn't grow in the middle either.

"We can't compare to you or the eldest brother, but we are much better than the younger brothers. If we all like to fight, what will the younger brothers do? And we are not only brothers, but also Sisters. For some sisters, the number of times they see Khan Ama can be counted on the fingers of the hand throughout the year. How should this be calculated?"

Yinfeng: ...

What Yinzhen said was too realistic.But this attitude... um... is quite acceptable?It's hard for him too.Another elder brother is only partial to Ama, and he is partial to Erniang.

Yinfeng sighed: "At this level, I really owe you all alone."

Yinzhi shook his head: "We know how the second brother treats us all these years."

Yinzhi now thinks clearly.Even if they are both the sons of Khan Ama, there is a difference between a concubine and a concubine.No matter which family, will the parents' care and treatment for the legitimate son and the concubine son be the same?Obviously impossible.As far as the royal family is concerned, the second elder brother is the concubine, and they are all concubines.

Concubine and concubine are the rules, if they are really like the second elder brother, it will disrupt the rules and regulations, and also disrupt the rules and regulations of the monarch and ministers, and even further, they may disrupt the court and society.

Anyway, he didn't understand what his elder brother was thinking.If you say partiality, for the eldest brother, Khan Ama is partial to the second brother.But for them, Khan Ama didn't favor his elder brother?

The eldest brother thinks he is the eldest son, so he feels that he is different.What's the difference?The eldest son is also a concubine.The so-called eldest son, the first son is the first, and the elder is the last.If you have a son, you will establish a son, and if you have no son, you will consider establishing a leader.What's wrong with this.

The second brother is broad-minded and treats his brothers well.As long as you live in peace, how can you lose the prince and wealth in the future?Even if he wants power, the second brother is not the kind of person who is seriously suspicious and easily fearful, and is even more willing to appoint brothers and give them opportunities.

You can have a good life, why do you have to think about it and fight for it?Fighting back and forth and still not winning, thankless, tired!

Regarding this, Yinzhi snorted in his heart, scolded his elder brother for being stupid, and said with a smile on his face: "Second brother, go back and rest, I am like this, even if you are older than me, how strong can you be?" I'm fine, the imperial doctor has seen it, nothing serious, just rest for two days, you don't have to worry."

Yinfeng smiled lightly: "Gu went to Nisk before and rode on horseback. I experienced it twice. This time I don't feel too uncomfortable, and I can bear it. I want to go see Khan Ama again."

"Then I..." Yinzhi also wanted to go, but his legs were shaking under the quilt, and he couldn't hold on, so he had to give up, "I'll take it easy, and I'll go to pay homage to Ama Khan tomorrow."

Yinfeng nodded, went out and went into Kangxi's room.

Probably after seeing Yinfeng and knowing that he was safe and sound, Kangxi let go of the big stone in his heart, comforted his uneasy emotions, relaxed his mind, and really fell asleep this time.

Yinreng asked Liang Jiugong about the situation that night in detail. Afraid of waking Kangxi up, he quietly moved to the side of the bed and sat on the wooden couch beside the bed.

Liang Jiugong approached quietly: "Prince!"

Yinfeng waved his hands, lowered his voice and said, "Do your business. I just look at Khan Ama."

Seeing his insistence, Liang Jiugong could only back away quietly again.

Yinreng looked at Kangxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, feeling complicated.

He had also thought about whether it would be more beneficial for him to use some means to help Concubine De, so that Kangxi could see more things.But now he regrets it.If he guessed right, Kangxi must have seen his end.If Kangxi was like Kangxi in the history books, he had already turned against his father and son.But at this moment, the father and son are doing well.

It is really cruel to let him see the scene of his beloved son dying of illness when the family affection is strong.No wonder Liang Jiugong said that Kangxi was very excited at the time.He dared not directly point out that the emperor was insane.But no matter how euphemistically put it, the meaning is similar.

A white-haired person gave a black-haired person, and it can even be said that he was killed by himself. Can you not be crazy!Yinfeng let out a long sigh.

"Success! Success!"

Kangxi didn't wake up, but he kept calling out, his brows were wrinkled, and his breathing was short of breath.

Yinfeng hurriedly took his hand: "Ama Khan, I am here. My son is here! My son is living well and nothing has happened. That is a dream, it is just a dream, it is not real. Don't believe it. "

Kangxi in his sleep seemed to be able to hear Yinreng's words, he gradually calmed down, his loud calls turned into whispers, and his eyebrows stretched a little.Ever since that dream, Kangxi hadn't fallen asleep very much these days, and even if he fell asleep, he would wake up soon.

After holding on for so long, my body has already reached its limit. Now under the comfort of Yinfeng, it didn't take long for me to fall into a peaceful sleep again because of exhaustion.

Yinfeng breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would wake up again, he simply didn't leave, held Kangxi's hand tightly, propped his head up and dozed off for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Kangxi dazedly opened his eyes, turned around and saw Yinfeng sleeping beside him.Probably because he was afraid that the bedmate would wake him up, he asked someone to spread a quilt and sleep on the sideboard of the bed.

Kangxi sat up, and Liang Jiugong immediately stepped forward with sharp eyes: "Your Majesty."

"Didn't the prince go back to the house to rest? Why are you here?"

"The prince inquired about the night of His Majesty's illness, my servant... the servant dared not refuse to answer. After the prince found out, he stayed here. The servant persuaded him, but the prince refused to leave, saying that he did not trust you."

Kangxi nodded slightly, looking at Yinreng's sleeping face, his heart was touched.

His Yinfeng is so good, how could he have the heart to circle him up?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
