Chapter 146 The Prince is Injured
When the people outside saw the scene, a series of violent reactions unfolded instantly. Some people fled in a hurry, while others collapsed on the ground in shock. Only a few people gathered in front of Kangxi and shouted loudly: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"
At this time, the saint who was fighting with Yinreng finally noticed the situation in front of her. This was very different from what she had expected. She had not yet gotten close to the dog emperor, and she had not yet captured the dog emperor's son. Now he was exposed. This situation was very bad for her at the moment.
Thinking of this, the Saint Lady swung the dagger in her hand more eagerly, as if she was going to stab Yinreng to death. At this time, there were not many guards surrounding Kangxi, only two. After all, it was just a wedding banquet in the Forbidden City, and Kangxi did not expect such an accident to happen.
Seeing that Yinreng was beginning to lose ground under the Saint's desperate fighting style, and that his wounds were increasing, Kangxi finally couldn't help but speak out: "Go help the prince."
Upon hearing this, the two guards quickly drew their swords and joined the fight. A few moments later, Yinreng was pushed out of the battlefield by one of the guards. Now the saint had pulled out the whip wrapped around her waist and was waving it in this small room. In order to prevent the prince from being hurt again, they quickly sent the prince out of the center of the battle.
Yinreng was also aware of his current strength, so he tactfully withdrew and stood beside Kangxi: "Why is the Emperor not in the front hall now and coming here?"
Kangxi watched the fight unfolding while observing Yinreng. Seeing blood oozing from the crown prince's arms and thighs, he appeared to have suffered numerous injuries, though none were particularly serious. After finding no injuries to vital organs, he finally replied, "Someone deliberately lured me here to find you, accusing you of committing adultery in the harem. I thought I'd play along and come here to see what they were up to. But why are you here, fighting with that woman?"
After saying this, Kangxi looked at Yinreng with a look of curiosity mixed with suspicion. Yinreng didn't expect that at this time, his father was still suspicious of his actions today, but now he really needed to explain it clearly, otherwise if the father really investigated it thoroughly, the existence of the secret guards around him would be in danger.
Yinreng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I was also plotted against in this matter today. I was chatting with my fourth brother in the front yard when a servant knocked over the kettle, soaking my clothes and making them quite dirty. I had no choice but to wait in this wing room for He Zhu to return to Yuqing Palace to get clean clothes to change into.
The servants in the middle courtyard brought me a pot of hot tea, and I sat at the table to sip it. But who knew that the tea was drugged? If Xiaojiu hadn't been tricked a while ago, and if my brothers hadn't carried the antidote with them, I would have been caught here today.
As he spoke, Yinreng took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist and handed it to Kangxi. There were a few detoxification pills in it. Kangxi took it in his hand, looked at it, and handed it to Yinreng again: "Well, I understand."
Then he looked inside the house. Even though the saint was very skilled in martial arts, she was still weak against the two first-class guards. Even though she was holding a long whip, it only prolonged the time she was captured. Just after the conversation between the father and son ended, the battle in the house also ended. The saint was tied up by two guards in the middle.
Kangxi was about to go in and question him when two men suddenly jumped out from a corner, holding daggers and rushing towards him: "You dog emperor, give me your life!"
Kangxi was the first to walk in front, with only Yinreng and Liang Jiugong protecting him. At the critical moment, Yinreng blocked Kangxi's way, and the dagger hit Yinreng right in the middle of his waist. Liang Jiugong's reaction was not weak either, and he stretched out his arm to block the other assassin's dagger. However, Liang Jiugong was not so lucky, and the dagger hit him directly in the chest, just a little away from his heart.
The incident happened quickly and the assassination was over in just a few breaths. The guards who rushed in from outside quickly subdued the two young eunuchs, but the two young eunuchs had already made up their minds to die. When they saw they were being captured, they directly rushed towards the guards' swords and died on the spot.
Kangxi's eyes began to fill with bloodshot at this time. He quickly supported the fallen Yinreng and hugged him carefully: "Baocheng, Baocheng, how are you? Don't scare my father, Baocheng..."
Yinreng didn't expect that he would subconsciously stand in front of the emperor at that moment, but now it was all in the past. The current situation was to stop the bleeding quickly. He felt that he was almost unconscious from the pain.
However, seeing the emperor father in such a panic, Yinreng felt a little comforted. After all, the emperor father was not so cruel that he did not remain moved when he saw his end.
Seeing that the Emperor's father was still calling out to him, Yinreng had to gather his scattered thoughts and quickly answered his old father's question: "Emperor's father, I am fine. I just feel that I need the imperial physician."
Hearing Yinreng mention the imperial physician, Kangxi finally stopped panicking and quickly ordered: "Liang Jiugong, Liang Jiugong, go call the imperial physician."
At this time, a guard stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liang has also been stabbed and is now unconscious."
At this time, Kangxi finally remembered that it was not only Yinreng who had just blocked the knife for him, but also his personal eunuch chief steward.
But now he had calmed down, and upon hearing this, he calmly ordered everyone to start taking action: "Two of you go to the Imperial Hospital to get the imperial physician, and the rest of you take the prince to bed. Someone else go take Liang Jiugong to his room as well. As for this woman..."
He pointed at the Saint who was tied up in the room and said, "I want to send her to the dungeon. I will personally take care of it later."
Then he arranged for all the personal guards on duty today to come and start the investigation from the South Third Branch. There must be more than two or three people who could come in so openly. Even the little fool Yinlu would not believe that there were no other accomplices.
While Prince Chun's wedding banquet was in progress, martial law suddenly came into effect in the Forbidden City. All those who entered the Forbidden City that day were locked up inside the palace, and several palace gates were closed. The entire capital also began to take action.
He Zhu didn't expect that he would have to go back to Yuqing Palace to find a set of clean clothes for his master in just a short while. When he came back, the sky fell. Looking at the prince lying on the bed in a semi-comatose state, He Zhu wanted to cry but had no tears.
What kind of thing was this? His mistress hadn't even finished her confinement yet, and his master was seriously injured. Who should he ask for help in the Yuqing Palace? He Zhu could only sit by the prince's bedside, looking at his mistress with a sad face.
Soon, there was a noise outside the door, and then there was a creak, and the door of the room where the prince was was opened. He Zhu stood up and turned around, only to see Burhe coming over with a cloak on.
Seeing that it was the Crown Princess, the tears in He Zhu's eyes rolled down instantly. He quickly ran to Buerhe and knelt before her: "Your servant greets the master. Master, it is my fault that I did not take good care of the Crown Prince..." After saying that, he began to cry sadly.
Seeing this, Bull's originally serious expression turned into a mixture of laughter and tears. A grown man just knelt on the ground and cried, and it was the kind that was not good-looking, with snot and tears flowing down, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Buerhe said, "Alright, go get the doctor who's treating the Crown Prince. I have something to ask you."
When Buerhe spoke, He Zhu felt more confident. He wiped the snot and tears from his face with his sleeves without caring about the strange twitching eyes of the people around him. He stood up and rushed outside.
The corner of Buerhe's mouth twitched. Without looking at He Zhu again, she walked to the prince's bedside to carefully confirm his condition. Although she knew that the prince was fine now, she was still worried without seeing it with her own eyes.
Gently stroking Yinreng's brow, which was furrowed even in his sleep, Bull felt like she was about to cry. She then lifted the thin blanket and looked at his waist and abdomen, which, although bandaged, still had obvious bloodstains, and she felt even more distressed.
At this moment, the hurried footsteps of two people were heard outside the house. Bu Erhe reached out to cover the prince, turned his head and looked outside the door. He Zhu had already dragged the imperial physician in.
The doctor was not young anymore. When he entered the room, he was almost unable to stand and could only hold on to the door frame to catch his breath. He Zhu was anxiously circling around and wanted to continue pulling him, but was stopped by Buerhe in time: "Okay, He Zhu, let the old doctor have a good rest for a while, there is no rush."
He Zhu obeyed and stood aside, no longer pushing the old doctor, allowing him a moment to catch his breath. Seeing this, Qi'er quickly poured a cup of water from the teapot and approached the old doctor, handing it to him. Judging from the situation, He Zhu must have dragged him here directly after finding him. It's hard to believe that someone at such an old age still managed to keep up with He Zhu's pace.
The old doctor took a few more deep breaths before taking the teacup from Qi'er and drinking it all in one gulp. Qi'er then put the cup away. The doctor walked over to Buerhe and said, "Your servant pays his respects to the Crown Princess."
Buerhe: "Old Doctor, please excuse me and take a seat. I came to you today mainly to inquire about the Crown Prince's condition."
The imperial physician had known the purpose of Burhe's visit for a long time, and he was the one who treated the prince's wounds. So he did not hesitate at all to answer Burhe's questions and told him everything he knew clearly.
After listening to this, Buerhe hesitated for a moment before proposing his own idea: "Excuse me, Imperial Physician, is it convenient to move the Crown Prince now? I think he will basically be bedridden for the rest of his life, so I'm thinking of taking him back to Yuqing Palace."
This was still the South Third Residence, after all. Moreover, today was Seventh Brother's wedding. Placing the Crown Prince here was not only against protocol, but also unsafe for her. Who knew what traitors might emerge from places she didn't know about? If she wasn't around, would the Crown Prince have anyone to look after him? It was doubtful if he would be safe.
It would be safer to bring them back to Yuqing Palace. Firstly, it is their own territory. Although it cannot be 100% confirmed to be safe now, it is generally safer than here.
After all, the servants in Yuqing Palace were all left over from her years of trials and tribulations. Furthermore, she wasn't prepared to leave the care of unfamiliar servants to Yuqing Palace. Buerhe was prepared to personally take care of everything, from food and clothing to daily living.
Secondly, this is after all the seventh brother's wedding house, and tonight is his wedding night. Although today's wedding banquet has been almost ruined, Buerhe thought it would be better to leave as much as possible and not disturb them for a while.
However, I feel sorry for my seventh sister-in-law. This happened on the wedding day. There will definitely be a lot of rumors about me in the future. When the matter is over, I will prepare a gift and apologize to my seventh sister-in-law in private.
The old doctor hadn't expected the Crown Princess to make such a request, and hesitated: "It's okay to move it gently, but what about the Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Buerhe stood up and bowed to the old doctor. "Please come back with me to Yuqing Palace to take care of the Crown Prince. I just saw that you handled the situation very well. You are also familiar with the Crown Prince's condition. I would not trust anyone else to take care of him."
After a pause, Buerhe continued, "Don't worry, I'll tell the Emperor that I must bring the Crown Prince back to Yuqing Palace. I'm worried about him recuperating here."
When the old doctor saw the Crown Princess saluting him, he quickly knelt down and returned the greeting, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my duty to take good care of the Crown Prince. As soon as the Emperor gives the order, I will go with you to Yuqing Palace to take care of the Crown Prince until he recovers."
Bull and Yan Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's do as the old doctor says."
At this moment, Kangxi's voice came from the doorway: "I agree. I will listen to the Crown Princess."
