Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 60 Palace Lock Heart Jade Yinreng 4

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi received a message from a spy: Miss Hesheli had met with the Crown Prince. It was unknown what they discussed, but it was known that the Crown Prince had been gone for a long time. Just as Kangxi was about to send for the Crown Prince, he arrived at the Qianqing Palace and was surprised.

Yinreng: "Greetings to the Emperor!"

Kangxi: "Get up! Li Dequan has someone serve the meal..."

Li Dequan: "Yes!"

While eating dinner, Kangxi asked: "I heard that you went to the Royal Temple today?"

Yinreng: "I've been dreaming about my mother recently, so I went to the Fahua Temple to relax..."

Kangxi: "Oh? Did you meet anyone?" Yinreng's heart skipped a beat. The emperor had just returned when he received the news. It seemed that what his cousin said was true. He was probably surrounded by the emperor's people.

Yinreng: "I met my cousin from my uncle's family. She was also here to burn incense for our mother..."

Kangxi: "What can we discuss?"

Yinreng said, "I didn't say anything. I just lamented that my mother had passed away at such a young age." Kangxi felt a wave of embarrassment and guilt after hearing this. The situation was unstable back then, and he had no choice but to act accordingly. Looking at Kangxi's expression, Yinreng felt a flicker of suspicion. He saw a hint of guilt in his father's eyes, suggesting he knew the truth. A chill ran down his spine.

Returning to Yuqing Palace, Yinreng pondered over his actions. He was surrounded by people watching him everywhere. He wondered what he should do. He had thought the Emperor loved him, but now it seemed all was an illusion. Perhaps what his cousin had said was true. It seemed he would have to find a way to leave the palace and see her. But before that, he needed to do something: to make the Emperor relax his vigilance.

The next day, Yinreng went to the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager and deliberately quarreled with the eldest prince Yinti. In the Cining Palace, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. The Grand Empress Dowager was so frightened that she fainted, and the eldest prince was at a loss. In an instant, the Cining Palace was in chaos, and the doctors of the Imperial Hospital gathered. The Grand Empress Dowager woke up after a while and nothing was wrong. The problem was the prince, who had a fever that wouldn't go away. Kangxi was furious and said that if the doctors of the Imperial Hospital couldn't cure the prince, then all of them would be buried with the prince. The eldest prince was punished to kneel outside the door until the prince woke up, and Concubine Hui was demoted to Concubine Hui for not educating her son well!

The imperial physicians had been treating the prince for days without any improvement, and his pulse was growing weaker. Kangxi was extremely anxious. He truly loved this son, whom he had raised single-handedly. Although he had been forced to cause Empress Hesheli's difficult labor, he had been making amends to this son for all these years. Just when the Imperial Hospital was at its wit's end, the head of the Imperial Observatory requested an audience!

The head of the Imperial Observatory said: "Your Majesty..."

Kangxi: "I don't know what the Supervisor is talking about..."

The head of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said, "I have noticed that the Taiwei Star has become dim recently, and I'm afraid it may be falling!"

Kangxi: “How outrageous!”

The head of the Imperial Observatory said: "This humble official deserves death!"

Kangxi: "What's the solution?"

The head of the Imperial Observatory said, "I don't know what to do about this."

Kangxi: "My prince was fine before, why is he like this now..."

The Empress Dowager said: "Maybe you have been tricked by the women in the harem. After all, the previous dynasty had many unknown secret medicines!"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Grand Physician, what do you think is wrong with the Crown Prince?"

The Imperial Physician ordered: "The Crown Prince's pulse is extremely weak. We are incompetent. If we cannot reduce the fever, then the Crown Prince may be in grave danger..."

The head of the Imperial Observatory said: "I have a folk remedy. There is a saying among the people that it can bring good luck. Some people even say that miracles will happen immediately after using it..."

Kangxi: "What else is there?"

The head of the Imperial Observatory kept wiping his sweat: "There are more..."

The Empress Dowager thought it was a good idea. The Crown Prince was now critically ill. There was no better way. Since they would need to choose a husband soon anyway, they might as well do it sooner! They wanted to give the Crown Prince a happy marriage now...

Kangxi then ordered all officials in the capital to submit their daughters' birth dates and horoscopes, comparing them to the Crown Prince's. The best one would be chosen and married to the Crown Prince the next day. For a moment, officials in the capital panicked. If the Crown Prince were healthy, they would have been happy, but now that he was critically ill, the consequences of a mishap would spread to the entire clan. They all tried to shirk responsibility, fearing they might be chosen. Kangxi, upon seeing that no official had submitted their birth dates to the palace after the imperial decree, flew into a rage.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door reported that Prime Minister Suo had brought his granddaughter Miss Hesheli into the palace.

Suo Etu and Feng Xi: "Greetings to the Emperor..."

Kangxi: "Prime Minister Suo, this is..."

Suo Etu took out Feng Xi's birth date and time from his arms and said, "This is my granddaughter. Here are her birth dates and time!"

Kangxi said, "Okay! Soetu, if your granddaughter saves my son today, I will immediately make Miss Hesheli the Crown Princess. No new people will be allowed into the Crown Prince's palace for three years..."

Feng Xi: "Your servant only hopes that the Crown Prince will recover!" A calculation by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory revealed Feng Xi's destiny to be extremely precious... Kangxi decreed the marriage. The Emperor, Feng Tian Cheng Yun, summoned him and declared: "Hesheli Fengxi is skillful and generous, gentle and kind, and of outstanding character and appearance. The Empress Dowager and I are greatly pleased to hear of this! Now that Crown Prince Yinreng is of marriageable age, a virtuous woman has been chosen as his match. Hesheli Fengxi is to remain unmarried. She is a match made in heaven for the Crown Prince, and a beautiful woman. I hereby betroth you to the Crown Prince's principal wife. All ceremonial arrangements will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The wedding will take place tomorrow!"

Suo Etu, Feng Xi: "Thank you for your grace!"

Suo Etu: "Your Majesty, I am requesting your presence again!"

Kangxi: “Speak…”

Suo Etu: "I am old and would like to resign and spend my remaining years at home... I hope the emperor will approve it!"

Kangxi: "Prime Minister Suo is my right-hand man. I still need you to help me handle state affairs..."

Suo Etu: "My granddaughter's marriage has been arranged. I am too old. Now I am taking care of my great-grandson at home. I hope the emperor will allow me to take some time off!"

Kangxi: "Okay, I allow you to resign from the position of Prime Minister..."

Suo Etu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"
