Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 298 Yinzhi passes away

Although Yinxuan's illness was severe this time, it was quickly stabilized because it was discovered early and the prince sent medicine in time.

Concubine Wang did not tell Kangxi about Yinhuan's serious illness, fearing that it would delay the emperor's political affairs and cause Kangxi's displeasure.

It just said that Yinxuan was sick, but under the treatment of the imperial physician, he is now much better.

And Kangxi didn't take this matter to heart.

But he is the youngest son after all, and his love for him is not fake.

After going to check and confirming that the person was fine, they kept him in the base to recuperate.

He himself took his other sons and a group of guards and ministers to continue hunting.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Kangxi heard from his servants that Yinzhi's condition had suddenly worsened.

Kangxi hurriedly turned back to his residence to check on his son's condition.

Yinreng looked at his royal father, who looked at his seriously ill son lying on the bed with loving care, and personally brought medicine to take care of him. He felt a little uncomfortable.

The scenes of Khan Ama taking care of him when he was a child appeared before his eyes, as if it happened just yesterday.

But now everything has changed. There is only calculation and vigilance, and the warmth of father and son is gone.

Thanks to Emperor Kangxi's day and night care, Yinzhi's condition improved.

But on the second day of September, Yinzhi's illness suddenly became serious again, and the imperial physician even diagnosed that he was incurable.

Although Kangxi was deeply distressed by his youngest son's serious illness, he issued an order to his ministers:

"Ever since Eighteenth Prince fell ill, I have been hoping for his recovery, treating him day and night. Now that his condition has worsened, I understand it is no longer possible. I am personally concerned about this. I fear causing worry to the elderly Empress Dowager, and the people of the world all rely on me. What is the significance of a mere child? I will give up my love and set off immediately, stopping about twenty miles away. Special order."

When Yinreng heard the content of Khan Ama's oral instructions, he did not show it on his face, but he felt it was ironic in his heart.

(Oral message: Ever since the Eighteenth Prince (Yinzhi) fell ill, I have been treating and caring for him day and night, hoping for a speedy recovery. However, his condition has now worsened and is beyond saving. I bear a heavy responsibility. I worry about the anxiety of the elderly Empress Dowager, and the dependence of all the people on me. This little child (Yinzhi) is actually of little importance to my overall situation, but I must reluctantly let him go. I have decided to set off (back to the capital) and rest after about twenty miles. I hereby issue this oral message to inform everyone.)

[Is this the reason why you deposed me as the Crown Prince?]

This is truly ridiculous.

[In my previous life, the crown prince was deposed because he was eighteen. I thought you loved this youngest son very much.]

[It turns out he was just a chess piece you used to destroy me.]

Yinreng suddenly felt a little sad.

At this moment, he realized it very clearly.

The figure of his father, who was once as kind as a mountain, has gradually become blurred in his mind.

The person who replaced him on the throne now is just a cold puppet of imperial power.

Following the emperor's order, everyone packed up their luggage and set off, then set up camp at Burhasutai, twenty miles away.

Yinzhi's health was not good to begin with, and the hasty journey made his condition even worse.

Yinreng still instructed Zhang Xi to ask the accompanying doctor to take some medicinal herbs to take a look.

"Be careful, don't get discovered."

Zhang Xi was puzzled: "Master, why do you want this?"

Yinreng: "I have my own plans. You go ahead."

"Yes."

Zhang Xi secretly sighed in his heart, "Master is just too kindhearted. He has to cover up even the good things he did."

Not long after, Zhang Xi came back to reply.

Yinreng asked, "How is Eighteenth Brother doing?"

Zhang Xi sighed and shook his head.

"My Lord, the doctors and the imperial physicians are at their wit's end."

Yinreng nodded lightly.

"I know."

"Just back off."

After staying in Burhasutai for a day, when Kangxi was about to set off on his journey, he suddenly heard that the condition of the eighteenth prince had suddenly worsened and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive.

Kangxi immediately hurried to the Eighteenth Prince's tent.

His face was full of anxiety and worry, and the hem of his dragon robe fluttered in the wind with his quick steps.

When he arrived at the entrance of the tent, Kangxi heard Concubine Wang's low sobs coming from inside.

Liang Jiugong quickly lifted the door curtain, and then a strong smell of medicine hit his nose.

At this time, Yinzhi's face was as pale as paper, and he was lying on the bed with a thin body. Even though he was covered with a thick quilt, he was still shivering.

On the small coffee table in front of the couch, there was a small medicine jar and a cotton towel.

Concubine Wang was sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes, holding a medicine bowl and feeding her son medicine. Seeing the medicine flowing down the corners of Yinzhi's mouth, she hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Yinzhi, be good and take your medicine."

"Only if you take the medicine obediently will your illness be cured."

Looking at the pale but tender little face in front of the sickbed, Kangxi's face was full of anxiety and love.

He walked quickly to Yinzhi's bed, sat down, and then held Yinzhi's little hand tightly.

Kangxi's voice trembled slightly.

"Yinzhi, Khan Ama is here."

Yinzhi opened his eyes slightly, raised his head with effort, looked at Khan Ama in front of him, with a gleam in his eyes, and said weakly.

"Khan Ama, you are here."

"Yinzhi is unfilial and will not be able to stay with you and mother in the future."

Seeing her son like this, Concubine Wang felt even more upset.

She called out her son's name with sobs.

"Yinzhi~ Mother's Yinzhi."

Kangxi's heart tightened and he tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart.

"Eighteen, don't be afraid, you will definitely get better."

"I am the emperor and my word is law. If I say you will get better, then you will get better."

Yinzhi smiled weakly and spoke in a low voice with difficulty.

"Khan Ama, my son is already eight years old. He is no longer an ignorant child."

"I know my body, I'm afraid it won't get better."

"But my son is so reluctant to let me go."

"I can't bear to leave my Khan, my mother, my brothers, and the little raccoon my son has raised."

“What a shame…”

"I didn't bring it with me this time, so my son will never see it again."

Kangxi's nose felt sore and he gently stroked Yinzhi's forehead.

"My dear child, your father, mother, and brothers are all with you."

Yinzhi shook his head gently and said, "Khan Ama, the person I am most worried about is my mother."

"After my son leaves, my mother will definitely be very sad. Khan Ama, please take good care of me for my son, okay?"

Kangxi listened, nodded gently, and said: "Don't worry, Yinzhi, I will take good care of your mother."

Yinzhi gave a well-behaved smile, his eyes gradually became blurred, and his breath became weaker and weaker.

"Khan Ama, your son is gone, please don't be too sad."

Yinzhi's eyes slowly closed, but he still tried to squeeze out a word.

"Khan Ama, if there is an afterlife, Yinzhi still wants to be your and E'niang's son, and still want to be with my family."

Kangxi felt heartbroken when he heard this. He hugged Yinzhi tightly, tears flashed in his eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

Feeling that her son had really left her, Concubine Wang let out a high-pitched wail outside the tent, and then fainted beside Yinzhi.

"My mother's Yinzhi!"
