[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

In the camp, Qiqige was inexplicably terrified.

She opened her eyes and sat up.Uzhina, who was resting on her feet, woke up instantly, and quickly covered Qiqige with both hands: "Master, why are you awake?"

Qiqige covered her chest, frowning tightly.

She said softly: "The Ai family is inexplicably flustered... let's go, now that I'm awake, I'll go and see Yinzhen."

Qiqige walked out of the tent, turned around and walked into Yinzhen's tent.The place was brightly lit, and the imperial doctor on duty at night and two palace servants hurriedly got up when they saw the Empress Dowager approaching: "My servant/slave pays my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"How is the situation of the fourth elder brother?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the fourth elder brother's fever has subsided a lot." The imperial doctor answered in a low voice with a happy face.

Adding up before and after, the fourth elder brother has been ill for five days.

Qiqige breathed a sigh of relief, she walked to Yinzhen's side, reached out and gently touched Yinzhen's forehead.

The starting temperature is indeed a little lower.

Qiqige reached out to touch the quilt again, the quilt was dry and tidy, obviously the palace servant had just changed it.Satisfied, Qiqige twirled Yinzhen's quilt and prepared to go back to the tent to rest.

Just as he was about to leave, Yinzhen moved.

His brows were tightly locked, and his little hand tightly grasped Qiqige's hand and refused to let go, whining like a kitten.

Qiqige paused.

With a smile in her eyes, she stretched out her hand subconsciously to smooth the wrinkles between Yinzhen's brows and eyes: "...I don't know what I'm dreaming about? Don't fight with Yinzhi and Yinqi?"

The corners of the imperial doctors and palace officials couldn't help but raise their lips.

As the fourth elder brother's condition improved, their mood also improved instantly.

Just the next moment, everyone's smile froze on their faces.

Yinzhen's eyes were closed, her small hands tightly grasped Qiqige's hand, and she muttered: "It's not - it's not me -"

Qiqige restrained her smile: "Yinzhen?"

Something was wrong with Yinzhen's situation - big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and even tears came out of the corners of his eyes.Yinzhen let go of Qiqige's hand, unconsciously waving it vigorously: "It's not me - not me -"

The imperial doctor's face changed slightly: "Fourth elder brother!?"

Qiqige was even more nervous, trying to wake Yinzhen up: "Yinzhen! Yinzhen?"

Yinzhen seems to be involved in a nightmare.

His round face was wrinkled into a ball, and he cried out in pain: "It's not me—it's not me, it's not me, I didn't, I didn't kill—"

Yinzhen's nonsense made Qiqige's heart twist into a ball, and she tried hard to break Yinzhen out of the nightmare.

Then Yin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.

He screamed and called out a name: "Yin Zuo——!"

The piercing sound penetrated the tent and resounded through the camp.

Qiqige was so frightened that she was shocked, and just when she came back to her senses, she saw Yinzhen's eyes wide open, panting heavily.

It looked really scary.

Qiqige waved her hand in front of Yinzhen's eyes, and at the same time called out in a low voice: "Yinzhen, Yinzhen—the imperial mama is here, look at the imperial mama."

Yinzhen's eyes were straightened, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

He tried to speak, but he didn't say a word for a long time, his lips were blue and white, and his whole body was trembling.

Qiqige held Yinzhen in her arms, comforting her in a low voice.

At the same time, the imperial doctor hastily stepped forward to feel the pulse: "The fourth elder brother was probably frightened by a nightmare, and I'm going to prepare soothing soup."

Just as the imperial doctor left, Kangxi and others rushed in one after another.Kangxi's worried eyes fell directly on Yinzhen: "Yinzhen? What's wrong?"

"You were woken up too?"

"...Yeah, why is he screaming so loudly? Is he still calling Yinzuo?" Kangxi nodded and looked at Yinzhen with unconcealed concern.

Apart from Kangxi and the empress, the empress dowager, the crown prince Yinreng and the eldest elder brother Yinti were also woken up, and rushed to Yinzhen's camp one after another. They either asked worriedly, or approached the languid Yinzhen to try to A few words of comfort.

Qiqige embraced Yinzhen.

She reached out and patted Yinzhen's back lightly: "This child may have had a nightmare and was a little frightened. He closed his eyes and cried just now, and kept calling Yinzuo."

Kangxi's expression softened slightly.

It seems that because of hearing Qiqige and Kangxi talking, Yinzhen, who had just calmed down for a while, became anxious again.His face became extremely pale again, and the hand holding Qiqige was even colder: "Yinzuo, Yinzuo——Huang Mama, Yinzuo——"

Yin Zhen's voice was full of tears.

Qiqige quickly patted Yinzhen: "Your sixth brother is still in the Forbidden City, how can you harm him? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Yin Zhen shook his head desperately.

His tears were streaming down: "Er Niang said... I killed Yinzuo."

Kangxi couldn't help but laugh: "Concubine De is not here."

On the other hand, the prince next to him looked slightly startled, and then broke out in cold sweat.He suddenly remembered something, if he remembered correctly, Yinzhen's brother Yinzuo... died in May of this year.

At that time, he was living in Yuqing Palace, and he had little contact with his younger brothers, and he didn't have much impression of Yinzuo. It was still the palace people who talked about it: "The sixth son of the emperor cried for half a month, and the pain was unbearable. The medicine didn't work, and he couldn't live for half a month. .”

House seemingly endless rain.

At that time, the fourth brother also had a fever for days, and the imperial concubine Tong Jia called many imperial doctors to take care of him.

When the fourth brother recovered, the sixth brother also died.

Although Yinzhen was not at fault in this, the Concubine De in her previous life didn't think so. After all, she felt a bit of resentment towards the imperial concubine and Yinzhen.After the imperial concubine passed away and the fourth brother returned to live in Yonghe Palace, the awkward atmosphere between the mother and son was shocking to others who saw it.

And now... Could it be?

Yinfeng's heart skipped a few beats, and he calmed down a little: "Khan Ama, as the saying goes, relatives and friends are easy to understand each other, could it be that the sixth brother is in the capital..."

Yinzhen raised his head instantly, and grabbed Qiqige nervously.

Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry, and gave Yinreng an angry look: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful to scare Yinzhen."

He looked down at Yinzhen: "Your sixth brother was indeed sick before, but it was just a minor illness. What could happen, don't listen to your second brother's nonsense."

Qiqige has a bad face.

As soon as Yinfeng reminded her, she also remembered about Yinzuo.

There are not many princes who died after Xu Chi, not to mention that Yinzuo is Yinzhen's brother, and he can be regarded as a well-recorded person in history.

He died at the age of six.

Qiqige's eyelids twitched twice, and then even the queen's face changed slightly.

Everyone tacitly comforted Yinzhen to sleep.

After walking out of the tent, the queen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Guangji Temple, Master Guizhen..."

Kangxi's expression changed instantly.

He exchanged glances with the queen. Although he thought it was unlikely, Kangxi still sent two guards back to the capital overnight to check the situation.

As a result, the two guards returned early the next morning.

Returning with them was a guard sent from the capital. The guard hurriedly pulled out a letter from his arms: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Concubine Hui!"

Several people sat up straight.

Liang Jiugong quickly took the letter and presented it to the emperor with both hands.Kangxi opened the sealant and poured out three pieces of letter paper from the envelope. He took a closer look, and his expression changed drastically.

There are no more than a hundred words in the letter.

There are two major events written in more than a hundred characters: one is that the concubine Tong Jia is seriously ill, and the other is that the sixth elder brother Yinzuo is seriously ill.Concubine Hui's words were not too violent when describing the condition of Concubine Qian Jiashi, but when it came to Yinzuo's condition, Concubine Hui's anxiety was beyond words.

The other two are the diagnosis of the imperial physician.

Kangxi glanced casually at Concubine Tong Jia's diagnosis, and then carefully punched in the one about Yinzuo.

Then he froze in place.

Qiqige, who couldn't wait, took the letter paper from Kangxi's hand, and then her face turned pale.

"Pain in the abdomen, swelling and firmness in the lower abdomen, pain when pressed, heavy stools, stagnant urination...fever and chills, shortness of breath, uncountable pulse as fast as a drum...nausea and vomiting, weakness and weakness, but faint After several people investigated, they all found a carbuncle in the intestine.”

Intestinal carbuncle.

In later generations, there is a name familiar to the world: appendicitis.

As the easiest disease to treat in later generations, it is an incurable disease in this era.If you are lucky enough to be in the early stage of appendicitis, you may be able to relieve it with medication, but in the later stage, there is no cure, and countless people die with wailing and pain.

Qiqige's hand trembled slightly.

The solution to appendicitis... is surgery. If it gets festered, gangrene or even perforated in the later stage, not to mention that the difficulty of the operation will rise sharply. In this era, the subsequent inflammation and so on...

No, now is not the time to think so much.

Qiqige stood up suddenly, and she looked sideways at Kangxi: "Emperor, you must be fast, and return to the capital as quickly as possible."

Kangxi responded.

It just so happened that although Yinzhen hadn't recovered yet, he was still able to travel by car.Kangxi immediately ordered that the chariots and horses set off immediately and rush back to the capital as quickly as possible.

Even so, Qiqige still felt slow.

The course of appendicitis is very fast, and going back a day late may cause completely different results.

No time to hesitate.

Qiqige stopped the carriage: "Emperor, Ai's family wants to ride back to Beijing."

Kangxi subconsciously wanted to refuse.

It's just that after raising his eyes and seeing Qiqige's determined gaze, he couldn't say any words of rejection.Kangxi frowned, and reminded in a low voice: "Emperor Niang, there are still three to five days to go back to Beijing, your riding skills..."

Qiqige's riding skills can barely be considered qualified.

Prince Yinfeng stood up and said, "Ama Khan, my son can accompany Mama Huang back home!"

Yinti also stood up: "It's better for my son to accompany Huang Mama back."

He pointed to himself: "My son's riding skills are good, if the emperor Mama can't hold on, I can take Huang Mama along with me."

What Yinti said was well-founded.

Kangxi had no reason to refuse, and quickly agreed to the plan of the two without saying anything, and also prepared nearly a hundred guards to accompany them.

A group of people rushed back to the capital.

Qiqige had to admit that the horse riding skills were really obtained by force.In the past, she was too tired to ride a horse for half an hour, but now Qiqige who has been riding for a day is still full of energy.

The gate of Yongding in the capital opened wide.

The officers and soldiers who got the news early stopped the people aside, and before they could complain, they saw dust rising in the distance, and a group of people roared past.

"Is there an accident outside?"

"The leader... seems to be a woman?"

The people around were chattering and talking curiously.

Immediately, the reprimands from the surrounding officers and soldiers gradually quieted down, and the common people quickly forgot about this episode.

As for Qiqige, she has already rushed all the way into the Forbidden City.

Concubine Hui was anxiously waiting for them to return, seeing Qiqige get off her horse, she trotted forward to meet her: "My concubine pays my respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Qiqige gave her a hand.

She said anxiously: "Now is not the time to talk about this, go! Go to Yonghe Palace immediately!"
