The Fourth Master's Dog

On the way to Yonghe Palace, Kangxi was thinking about how to deal with smallpox.

All the slaves and maids in the palace who were sick were moved to the southernmost palace.

The palace would be quarantined immediately if any smallpox infection was discovered.

The situation in the palace was not bad at the moment, except that most of his brothers had contracted smallpox.

When Kangxi thought of this, his face darkened even more.

The situation outside the palace was not very good. He had arranged relevant personnel to deal with it, but the situation was not under control.

In just one night, more than half of the people in the southeast district were infected with smallpox.

The Imperial Medical Service has not yet figured out how to treat smallpox.

What a bunch of rubbish.

People are in panic now, so it is not easy for him to deal with the people involved in smallpox, so he just lets them live a few more days.

Kangxi's face looked worse and worse, and Liang Jiugong, who was serving beside him, lowered his head lower and lower.

I was afraid that if I accidentally raised it, I would see the Emperor's inky black face and be so scared that my legs would go weak and I would fall to the ground. Then the Emperor might accuse me of being disrespectful in front of the palace and vent his anger.

Liang Jiugong controlled his breathing, lowered his head, and followed Kangxi closely with silent steps.

When he arrived at Yonghe Palace, Kangxi did not ask anyone to go in to report, but went straight in.

Looking at him lying on the bed, his face was pale and the corners of his eyes were red. It was obvious that he had cried several times.

Kangxi suppressed his anger and was usually willing to show some respect and patience to his favorite concubines.

When Concubine De Uya saw Kangxi coming in, the redness in the corners of her eyes grew even more intense and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Your Majesty, your Sixth Prince, wuwu..."

Kangxi waved his hand to ask the imperial physician beside him to come over for treatment, and then he walked forward and sat down beside the bed.

"It will be fine. I have found a good doctor to take care of the Sixth Prince. Don't even think about going to the Prince's residence."

"I know you care about Sixth Prince, so you want to take care of him, but you also have to take care of your own body. There is also my princess who needs your care."

The imperial physician frowned tightly and took the patient's pulse three times before he relaxed his brows and withdrew his hand.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De is pregnant, but the time is too short, less than a month."

"Your Highness was too emotional just now, so she fainted. Now she is showing signs of miscarriage. She needs to stay in bed for the first three months."

"Don't be too emotional, which may cause an unstable pregnancy."

When Kangxi heard that Concubine De was pregnant again, he finally showed a smile on his face. Now most of his brothers had contracted smallpox.

Even he couldn't guarantee that they would all survive.

It is a happy event for him that Depin is now pregnant.

Kangxi gently held Concubine De Uya's hand and comforted her with a tender look in his eyes.

"You should take good care of the dragon fetus in Yonghe Palace. I will personally send someone to take care of the Sixth Prince. You don't have to worry."

"Now that you are pregnant, you can no longer mention going to the prince's residence to take care of the Sixth Prince."

"You must be obedient and don't make me worry."

Concubine De Uya lowered her head and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Her whole face was wet with tears, which was very pitiful.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Concubine De Uya, Kangxi couldn't help but soften his tone.

"When there is any news from the prince's office, I will send someone to tell you as soon as possible."

"The Fourth and Sixth Princes will be fine. I promise you."

Concubine De Uya knew when to stop, so she raised her fragile little face and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I know. I am just too worried about the Sixth Prince and... the Fourth Prince."

"Your Majesty promised me that he would inform me of the news of my brother's residence as soon as possible."

It was simply impossible for Concubine De Uya to go to the prince's residence in person to take care of him.

She might not be willing to put herself in danger for the Sixth Prince, let alone the Fourth Prince, with whom she was not close at all, if the Emperor had not mentioned the Fourth Prince.

Concubine De Uya had not even forgotten that there was a Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

Concubine De Uya gently touched her belly, looking forward to it in her heart.

It has to be a prince, just a prince.

Seeing that Concubine De Uya's mood had almost recovered, Kangxi gave her some serious advice, asking her to take good care of her pregnancy in the palace, and then left Yonghe Palace with Liang Jiugong.

He was able to take some time out of his day to visit Concubine De, Uya, because he had two princes and he also had some feelings for her.

Otherwise, why would we go through all this trouble?

He was already busy with the smallpox issue, so he had no mood to take care of the concubines in the harem.

Kangxi was very fast and walked a long distance in less than a cup of tea.

He also had to go to the Empress Dowager's palace today to report on yesterday's chaos and mention the smallpox incident to comfort the Empress Dowager.

When Su Peisheng saw a little light outside, he stuffed Duofu, who was still sleeping, under the bed and hid him.

At this time of year, we can't let people see a dog here, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The servants outside had already filled the yard with mugwort again to prevent smallpox from spreading to people.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen had a fever that went on and off throughout the entire night, sometimes high and sometimes low. Su Peisheng was extremely worried, fearing that the temperature would not go down and would continue to rise.

By that time, the smallpox had not been cured yet, and the whole person had become mentally ill due to the fever.

What’s the use of curing smallpox?

The imperial physician just came to take the prince's pulse and said that the Fourth Prince is now in the best condition among all the princes.

Finally, I reminded him not to stop taking the medicine.

Just go out and get busy.

When Su Peisheng heard this, some hope surged in his heart. The best one, it could be cured no matter what!

He doesn't care about other princes. As long as his master gets better, it doesn't matter to him even if other princes die of smallpox.

Even last night when he was praying to God in his heart, he asked the Buddha to only bless his master, as there were too many others to save.

The fourth prince Yinzhen opened his eyes with difficulty, his consciousness a little hazy.

A weak voice reached Su Peisheng's ears.

"Water, water."

Su Peisheng immediately took the warm water that had already cooled down on the table.

Hold the spoon and feed slowly, one spoonful at a time.

In addition to warm water, there was a bowl of steaming white porridge and black medicine on the table.

Su Peisheng fed them water while comforting and encouraging each other.

"After the master finishes drinking the water, drink some porridge, otherwise you will have no strength."

"The imperial physician has just come to see us. The master's condition is the best. The imperial physician said that he can definitely be cured."

"After you finish the porridge, take a rest and then take the medicine. You will definitely get better faster after taking the medicine."

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen nodded, raised his hand to touch Duofu, tried hard to touch to the side, but found nothing, and looked a little anxious.

"Su Peisheng, where is Duoduo? Was I dreaming yesterday?"
