Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

His heart almost jumped into his throat. After about an incense stick of time, Doctor Wen saw that the Second Prince's expression had obviously become calmer, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After discussing it, the imperial physicians who came for consultation decided to let Imperial Physician Wen take the Second Prince's pulse.

Doctor Wen stepped forward and took the Second Prince's pulse. Overjoyed, he turned and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, the Second Prince's fever has finally subsided!"

The prince also breathed a sigh of relief. Medical conditions in ancient times were poor. He only had some simple common sense and was not a doctor, so he could only try his luck. Unexpectedly, it really worked!

After getting permission, the eunuch serving in the palace immediately went out to report the good news to Yixiu and Concubine Xian.

"Empress Dowager, Consort Xian, the Second Prince's fever has subsided! Imperial Physician Wen has already given him the medicine. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed this servant to inform you, so as to avoid worrying the Empress Dowager and Consort Xian!"

Concubine Xian was so moved that she almost cried. She cried with joy and excitedly grabbed Yixiu's hand.

"Sister is so kind! Honghui saved Hongpan! I......"

As mothers, Yixiu understood Concubine Xian's feelings very well. Seeing that she was almost falling down due to excessive excitement, Yixiu gently hugged Concubine Xian and said with a smile: "Hongpan is blessed with a long life. He will definitely be fine. You can put your heart at ease! Don't be sad anymore. If you get sick again after Honghui recovers, the child will be very worried about you!"

While comforting Concubine Xian, Yixiu winked at Tao Ye, indicating that she should bring some supplements for Concubine Xian to eat.

After not seeing her for a few days, the formerly flamboyant Concubine Xian had become pale and haggard, almost unrecognizable.

Tao Ye bowed and quickly brought a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest.

Tao Ye wanted to serve Concubine Xian with her meal, but Yi Xiu waved to her and asked her to pass the bird's nest to her.

Tao Ye was a little shocked and stammered, "I... I'll be fine. I dare not trouble the Queen!"

Yixiu snorted and laughed: "Alright, you can go down first! Today is the only day. If you want me to serve you tomorrow, you won't have the chance anymore!"

Hearing Yixiu's joke, Concubine Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud. She knew Yixiu was trying to cheer her up, so she also laughed in agreement and said, "Thank you so much, Queen Sister!"

Yixiu scooped a spoonful of bird's nest, put it to her mouth, blew it gently, and then fed it to Concubine Xian herself.

Such a heartwarming scene was quickly broken by the noise outside.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Su Peisheng's voice rang out outside, causing the people in the room to tremble in their hearts.

Yixiu's face tensed. She patted Concubine Xian's hand and said with a smile, "I think the emperor heard that the second prince has recovered from his illness and came to visit!"

Concubine Xian gave a bitter laugh, "Sister, please don't hide it from me anymore! When Honghui rushed here just now, I already sensed something was wrong! Although he is the crown prince, this is the harem. He barged in without the emperor's summons. That is a serious crime!"

It was because of me and Hong Pan that Hong Pan suffered such an unexpected disaster.

Concubine Xian is not a person who is confused. She has decided to take all the blame on herself. Even if the emperor wants to depose her, she cannot let her sister and Honghui be punished for her.

Yixiu sighed and said nothing more, but took Concubine Xian out to the emperor's house.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"

The two men knelt on the ground and performed the solemn ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the emperor.

The emperor came with a grand ceremony this time. Not only was he accompanied by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, he also brought a number of imperial guards.

The emperor saw the two men kneeling on the ground, without even raising his eyelids. He looked coldly into the room and said, "What do you want to do by breaking into the palace for no reason, Prince?"

With a creak, the door opened.

Honghui had taken off his prince's attire and walked out wearing a white undershirt with a sad expression.

He was holding a jade pendant in his hand, which was obviously given by Kangxi.

"Father, please forgive me for my disrespect. But I have to act according to my own will. I really have no other choice! My second brother is in imminent danger. I am not only the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, but also his elder brother!"

Concubine Xian no longer cared about anything else. She had long seen through the emperor's selfish and hypocritical nature.

Therefore, she stood up decisively.

"Your Majesty, it was I who asked the Crown Prince to come here. I tricked His Royal Highness into coming here. He is a kind-hearted child, and I relied on the kindness I had in raising him since childhood to force him to come to Yongshou Palace. Please, Your Majesty, forgive me and don't blame the Crown Prince!"

The Emperor's eyes widened in anger as he glared at Consort Xian and cursed, "Consort Xian, as the Consort in charge of the six palaces, you were the first to disobey palace rules and allow a man from outside the palace. Now, you have the nerve to defend yourself here!"

Consort Xian's eyes darkened. She looked at the Emperor with a desolate expression and said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, Hongpan is your own son, and he is dying! The Empress went to the Yangxin Palace to ask you to find a doctor for him, but you never met with the Empress. I had no choice but to do this. I am Hongpan's mother first, and then the Imperial Consort of this palace!"

The emperor glanced at Concubine Xian and saw her haggard face. He knew that what Concubine Xian said was true.

However, the imperial power cannot be challenged, and there cannot be two tigers in one mountain. He is in his prime, and the prince is very powerful, which will definitely threaten his position.

Consort Xian said that she was first Hongpan's mother and then a concubine in the harem. But to the emperor, he was first the monarch of the Qing Dynasty and then the father of the princes.

"A country has its laws, a family has its rules. Even I must abide by these rules! Pass on my decree. Consort Xian has committed immoral acts, behaved inappropriately, violated palace etiquette, and damaged the dignity of the imperial family. I have considered this over and over again and cannot tolerate her mistakes. Now, I am stripping her of her title and demoting her to the rank of concubine. Second Prince, considering that he has been ill for a long time and was unaware of this matter, I will not punish him harshly."

Honghui was shocked and immediately pleaded for Concubine Xian, "Father, Concubine Xian is only saying this for your son. My second brother has been ill for a long time, and Concubine Xian must have lost her mind. Today is all my son's fault, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Xian!"

The Emperor sneered, his eyes filled with sarcasm. "Then, according to the Crown Prince, today's incident has nothing to do with Consort Xian. That means you've trespassed into the harem and shown me great disrespect. Is that so? Does the Crown Prince think he can rely on the Emperor's doting love and not provoke me?"

Honghui shook his head and said respectfully, "I dare not."

"Don't dare? I think you're really brave! Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, I've never seen a prince dare to bring people into the harem without the emperor's summons! Honghui, you are truly the first person in the world!"
