Chapter 149 The Fourth Master Visits
Since the prince has woken up, the schedule of moving back to Yuqing Palace was quickly brought up. He Zhu has already arranged a sedan chair and also needs to find a few strong servants to carry the sedan chair.
Everyone in the room started to take action. Buerhe sat next to Yinreng, holding his hand, and looked at his lips, which were white from pain, with heartache: "We will go home soon. If the pain is too severe, we can use Ma Fei San."
Yinreng forced a smile and comforted Buerhe: "Don't be afraid and don't cry. I don't feel any pain anymore. I didn't hit any vital parts this time. I just stabbed a little too deep. It's okay. Didn't the imperial physician say so? Just rest well for a few months and you'll be fine."
Buerhe touched Yinreng's eyebrows with a distressed look: "It's painful to be injured. If you can't help it, just tell me. I won't laugh at you. But you must rest well when you return to Yuqing Palace. I will come to see you every day when I am free."
Yinreng frowned, his brows furrowed. Buerhe saw this and his eyes glared, "What? Are you hiding something from me? Can't I even look at you?"
Seeing that Buerhe was angry, Yinreng quickly pleaded for mercy: "No, no, you misunderstood. I just thought of the imperial physician's instructions. Do I really have to drink those blood-tonifying medicinal foods with you next? Can we not drink those pig liver and jujubes? I feel that my body is in good health and full of energy."
Buerhe hadn't expected the prince to think about this, and rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "What do you think? What's the point of your thinking? I only follow the imperial physician's orders. Besides, won't I drink the medicinal food too? If I can drink it, I'm sure you can too. Don't you want to work with me to get better health?"
After saying that, she looked at the Crown Prince with a threatening look. When Yinreng heard that his own Crown Princess had just come out, he knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. He also saw her rolling her eyes at him. Although the action looked delicate and beautiful, Yinreng had no intention of appreciating it at this time, because this meant that he would have to drink the so-called blood and qi nourishing soup in the next few months.
Seeing the prince hanging his head and weakly promising to drink, Burhe finally let go of this occasionally willful boy.
He Zhu's efficiency was quite good. While the two were talking back and forth, he had already prepared the next means of transportation and, as instructed by the Crown Princess, sent the letter back to Yuqing Palace.
As for whether Yuqing Palace will prepare everything in advance, there is no need to worry. The few maids brought by Buerhe to Yuqing Palace are now experienced. All they need is a message, and the rest of the things will be done soon, and Buerhe does not need to worry about them anymore.
Buerhe also boarded the sedan chair. She still felt a little weak. When she had walked from Yuqing Palace, she had been worried about the Crown Prince's safety, which had made her walk all the way here. Now that she knew the Crown Prince was fine and just needed to rest, she felt physically tired. She needed a good rest even if she could ride in the sedan chair, let alone walk back now.
This incident happened suddenly today, and in a remote place in the back, the emperor directly blocked the news. Apart from a few adult princes, even the empress dowager was not aware of it.
The emperor also acted decisively. Knowing that the Crown Princess had no time to take care of Hongye and Jingyi, he had his servants send them to the Fourth Prince's Mansion while the Crown Prince was unconscious. He also specifically found Yinzhen to give him some instructions to prevent the two children from getting scared by the noise they made while walking.
Yinzhen was the first person to know the news, and he agreed with what the emperor said. Not to mention the emperor's instructions, even if the emperor didn't say it, as Hongye's fourth uncle and the prince's good brother, he would not leave Hongye and Jingyi alone.
First, Hongye and Jingyi were sent to the Fourth Prince's Mansion for temporary settlement, allowing them to play with Honghui. Then Yinzhen found the Fourth Lady and explained the news that the prince had been assassinated and the current unclear situation.
The Fourth Lady was confused upon hearing this: "How could this happen? How is Second Sister-in-law doing now? Is there anyone in charge of Yuqing Palace now?"
She had wondered why martial law was imposed in the Forbidden City just after her seventh brother's wedding ceremony, and she and the female relatives were imprisoned in the South Three Prisons. It turned out that the prince was assassinated.
The Fourth Lady asked, "Is it okay for us to take Hongye and Jingyi back home now? Didn't the Emperor order us not to leave the Forbidden City?"
Yinzhen patiently comforted them, "It's okay. This is what the Emperor has personally instructed. We can go back now. The guards won't stop us. After I send you back, I'll have to go back to the Forbidden City. I won't feel at ease without seeing my second brother. When you go back, keep a close eye on the mansion. I'll soon order martial law in the front and back yards. Anyone entering or leaving will need my permission or yours. No strangers who are not from our courtyard are allowed to get close to Hongye and Jingyi."
The Fourth Lady nodded in agreement, but there was still some hesitation on her face: "What should I do if the sisters in the backyard come looking for me?"
Yinzhen felt a headache when he thought about his troublesome backyard. He had been thinking about the happiness of having many wives, but now he found that having too many women was not good and it also caused too many troubles. "Don't worry, I will leave Su Peisheng here later. If they have any problems, Su Peisheng will take care of them. You just need to stay in the main courtyard and take care of the three children and you."
The Fourth Lady nodded repeatedly, then hugged Yinzhen's somewhat frail but strong body and said, "Your Majesty, you must also take good care of yourself. Since the Emperor hasn't issued any orders, it means that things are under control. The Crown Prince is the son of the Emperor, and he will be fine. Everything is still unclear, and no one knows how deep the water is. Your Majesty must be extremely careful in the palace."
A warm feeling surged in Yinzhen's heart. He said "hmm" softly, shook the Fourth Lady's hand, and then quickly let go.
By the time Yinzhen had settled several people and returned to the Forbidden City, Yinreng had already been sent back to Yuqing Palace for settlement. Since Buerhe had already been released, she did not plan to go back to recuperate after her childbirth. She instructed the palace maid to prepare hot water for her, and then went to wash up before returning to accompany Yinreng.
The medicine must have taken effect on Yinreng at this time. He felt a little dizzy and slowly fell asleep under He Zhu's gaze.
When Yinzhen rushed to Yuqing Palace, Bu Erhe was just instructing the kitchen to prepare dinner, so it was not surprising to see Yinzhen coming.
After spending the past few years together, Buerhe had a general idea of the fourth brother's character. He knew that he had come here to find out everything and confirm the prince's condition.
Buerhe had Yinzhen brought directly to Yinreng's bedroom. Pointing at the still sleeping prince, she explained to Yinzhen, "Your second brother returned today and has already told me what happened. I'll explain it to you and you can analyze it as well. Also, the imperial physician has said that the prince's injuries are not too serious. He just needs to rest well and replenish his energy and blood."
