The sadness didn't last long.

When they were on the way back, except Concubine Hui who was thinking about Yinti who was far away in Fujian, everyone else was thinking about everyone who was still in the Forbidden City.

Kangxi began to miss the prince in his heart.

I haven't seen the prince for eight months, and I don't know if the prince is fat?Thin?Are you tired?Did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare to confront him?He seemed to have forgotten all the letters that would arrive every three to five days, and also the various reports on the prince's performance inside.

Concubine Tonghuang was also absent-minded.

What she cares about is Xiao Shuyan - she knew she was going to stay outside for half a year, so she brought her daughter with her. After half a year, will her daughter have forgotten that she is a mother-in-law?Thinking of this possibility, imperial concubine Tong has been thinking about it for the past two days, and she will suddenly wake up at night.

Yinzhi cared about Concubine Rong and the second princess.

As for Yinzhen, he couldn't help but also started talking about Concubine De, Yinzuo and his two younger sisters, and after finishing talking, he thought about the other brothers.

Sensing the anxiety of the masters, the speed of the chariots and horses also unknowingly accelerated a little bit, and then a little bit faster.

The bumpy carriages and horses suddenly stabilized when they drove to a certain section. Yinzhen, who was shaking and almost motion sick, leaned against the glass window and looked out. He was surprised to find that the old and cracked bluestone brick road was no longer under his feet, nor was it splashed with mud. The loess road turned into a flat and wide cement road.

Looking back, he also saw many people, countless construction officers, soldiers and laborers working hard, but looking forward, he could only see the gray-white cement road stretching to the end of the sky.

Yinzhi is also pasted on the glass window like Yinzhen.

He was also taken aback by the sight outside: "The action is so fast!"

is not that right?It's only been a few months.

Kangxi was also surprised. He made people stop the car and horses, and then pulled the person in charge behind him to question him.After the steward asked An to get up, Kangxi suddenly found that he was very... familiar?Kangxi opened his eyes wide, and asked abruptly, "... Gelfin?"

The black and thin man in front of him is clearly Suo'etu's eldest son!

Yinzhen and Yinzhi's mouths opened wide—Gelfin in the past was a fair, chubby fat man, arrogant and domineering.

And in front of him...it was clearly a black, thin and strong man!

At first glance, Yinzhen thought he was a local laborer... To put it bluntly, Yinti, who had turned black a lot, was much fairer than Gelfin in front of him.

Gelfin said yes.

To be honest, if you say no, everyone will not be shocked if the emperor admits the wrong person.The magnitude of Gelfin's change made people astonished and at the same time made Kangxi secretly suspicious-this guy didn't want to use bitter tricks, did he?

Kangxi simply got out of the carriage.

He walked towards the end of the road that was still under construction. It was clearly the end of autumn and early winter, and the weather was getting colder every day, but the officers, soldiers and laborers who came and went were all bare|naked, showing no signs of chilling.

Their strong tendons are exposed, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans roll down on their sharp-edged chests, flowing down along the muscle texture, and finally disappearing in the cloth clothes tied around their waists.The lean and strong arms grabbed the sacks of sand, gravel and soil vigorously, or piled them together, or poured them together and stirred vigorously, and they were very busy.

The arrival of Kangxi and others did not attract anyone's attention.

Gelfin introduced the situation on the construction site all the way. He knew everything, and he spoke in detail without mentioning it, and his pride was beyond words.

Hearing this, Kangxi has already believed three points.

When a laborer rushed to seek help from Gelfin, he gained at least five or six points of trust, and when he called the guard who had been keeping an eye on Gelfin for questioning, his trust had already increased by seven or eight points.

Kangxi was quite relieved.

Sure enough, it is good for people to come out to suffer, and Gelfin seems to be a different person.After watching the laborers who asked for help leave, Kangxi asked abruptly: "Gelfin, do you want to go back to the capital?"

Griffin froze.

Back to the capital?Compared with the hardships and hardships, the days when people can only use pickles and steamed buns casually for three days, the days of extravagance and luxury in the capital seem to have become a dream.

All he has to say is yes and he can go back.

Under the gaze of Kangxi and others, it took Gelfin a long time to speak: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness——"

Kangxi's eyes darkened slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Gelfin go on to say: "The slave still wants to stay here." After a pause, Gelfin added: "What the slave has to do is not done yet."

He looked at the concrete road that looked like a long dragon coiled on the ground, blushed and blurted out his ambition: "The slave wants to build roads to every corner of the Qing Dynasty!"

Kangxi couldn't help laughing.

He patted Gelfin on the shoulder heavily: "This is our good man in Qing Dynasty!"

Kangxi, who boarded the carriage and left, also had a new idea.

Gelfin, who was once a dandy, can become what he is now, but what about those dandies in the capital?What about the Eight Banners who have nothing to do?It seems that everyone should work hard...exercise?

All the sons and brothers in the capital sneezed together.

Looking at the snowflakes falling outside, they subconsciously stretched out their hands to wrap up their cloaks: "Why do you feel like you're wearing too little?"

The snow in the capital is getting bigger and bigger.

Pieces fluttered like catkins, falling down one after another, and within two or three days, the entire capital city was turned into a world of glazed ice and snow sculptures.The children also happily slipped out of the house, making snowmen, playing snowball fights, skating, and laughing endlessly.

In contrast, the palace was eerily quiet.

The entire Forbidden City seemed to be shrouded in shadows. The palace people came and went in a hurry without any smiles on their faces. What disturbed everyone was the news from the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

The Empress Dowager is seriously ill!

The palace of Compassionate Ning was filled with dark clouds, and the palace people came and went in a hurry.Prince Yinreng sat on the edge of the bed with a tired face, carefully twisting the corner of the quilt for Aunt Ukuma.

The empress dowager's health has not been very good in the past few years, but every time she saved herself from danger.This time it was just a little wind and cold at first, and everyone including Yinfeng thought they would get better as soon as before, but this time it was getting heavier and heavier, and now it has been comatose for most of the day do not wake up.

Up to now, even the imperial physicians of the Taiyuan Hospital have nothing to do.

Yinfeng sighed without a trace, and the circles of his eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

At this moment, Zhao Shunping trotted in.

Yinfeng raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Has the letter been delivered?"

Zhao Shunping respectfully said yes.

Yinfeng nodded, just as he was about to speak, he felt a slight trembling in his hands.Yinfeng was overjoyed, and he quickly called softly: "Mama Ukuma? Mama Ukuma?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were cloudy.

She didn't seem to hear the prince's shout, her eyes were focused in the distance and she shouted loudly: "Fulin...Fulin...Fulin...It's all Er Niang's fault, it's all Er Niang's fault..."

Yinfeng's expression froze.

Following the eyes of the Empress Dowager... I couldn't see anything.Every time she woke up from a coma, the Empress Dowager would call the late emperor's name and speak a series of Mongolian and Manchu.There are still many secrets among them, if the prince and Su Mala didn't react quickly enough to drive away all the palace people, I'm afraid many people present would have to be buried with them.

A strong smell of Chinese medicine wafted into the room.

Seeing Su Mala come in with soup and medicine, Yinfeng also woke up.He carefully helped the Empress Dowager up, scooped up a spoonful of concoction with a small silver spoon, and fed it into the Empress Dowager's lips and teeth bit by bit.

It seems that the quick and nimble movements are not something that can be done all at once.

After feeding the medicine, Su Mala cooperated with the crown prince to help the Empress Dowager to sleep. Maybe the medicine was effective or she was tired from the fuss for a long time. The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Prince Yinreng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After tiptoeing out of the dormitory with Su Mala, he asked in a low voice, "How is the emperor mama?"

After taking care of her for several days in a row, the empress dowager was also very tired.

As soon as he came to Yinreng, he found that the empress dowager was abnormal, so he quickly asked someone to help him to rest.Su Mala replied in a respectful voice: "The imperial physician has prescribed a decoction for calming the mind, and the empress dowager has already fallen asleep."

Prince Yinfeng nodded.

He couldn't help talking about it, about the Empress Dowager and about the Empress Dowager, even Su Mala didn't forget to give instructions.

Su Mala couldn't help being touched in her heart.

Her eyes were red, and she squatted deeply and saluted: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the servants will take good care of the Empress Dowager."

Not only the Empress Dowager, but also the Empress Dowager and you.

Yinreeng hesitated to speak, and looked forward to Khan Ama's return earlier.

The breath of winter sweeps the earth.

The carriages and horses on the return journey also encountered heavy snow, and the flying snow was accompanied by the cold wind. The flying snowflakes hit the faces of the officers, soldiers and guards like blades, and their breath turned into pieces of white mist. The flushed hands also seemed to be glued to the cold weapon.

After reaching the post station, no one had the intention of moving forward, not to mention the marching guards, even Yinzhen and the others sitting in the carriage were already shivering in thick clothes.

The officials who had been waiting for a long time at the post station rushed forward to greet them, but before they entered the post station to meet the carriages and horses of the emperor and the masters, they saw a group of fast horses rushing from a distance.

Seeing the apricot yellow flag swaying in the wind, the courier grabbed the reins of the horse fiercely, the horse under him neighed sharply, his feet were raised high and then fell down hard.The messenger rolled down before the horse could stand still, and he knelt on one knee and said urgently, "Your Majesty! An urgent report from the capital!"

Seeing the messenger dripping with sweat, everyone's heart tightened.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly signaled the guards to come forward to take the letter, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

Kangxi opened it and took a look.

Just one glance at his face suddenly changed: "Go! Let's go!"

After a pause, Kangxi changed his words: "Rest overnight and leave immediately tomorrow morning!"

When the news spread to the back, both Yinzhen and Yinzhi looked blank.With such a heavy snowfall, they originally thought that they would have to repair for at least two or three days before leaving, but they did not expect to leave overnight.

The two looked at each other.

Thinking of the messenger he saw just now, Yinzhen asked, "What happened in the capital?"

Yinzhi thought for a while: "Could it be the Raksha Kingdom?"

Every winter, the Raksha Kingdom would come to harass the border and rob the people——Yinzhen shook his head, thinking it didn't look like it.

Su Peisheng went to inquire about it.

Turning around, he changed his face: "Master, third master! There is news from the crown prince... saying that the empress dowager is seriously ill and has passed out!"
