C138

The three sons of the king were brought out of the palace, and the son of the monarch was taken into the court.

Preserving the success of the good life, the Son of Heaven heartache and sorrow.

In early March of the sixteenth year, in order to avoid the invasion of the prince by smallpox, Xuanye had given the order to protect the prince and temporarily place him in the house of the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Ge Lu, while the prince Cheng had taken him in at the house of the Minister of the Diaspora, Bo Luote, and the newly-born emperor, Third Son Yin, had taken him in at the home of the Minister of the Interior, Chini-Ha'alji. There were two reasons why Xuanye had chosen these three princes as their foster sons: one of the three was rich, the other was well-educated, the second was the most important, and all of them had suffered from smallpox, and all of them were relatively secure in their recovery.

With the smallpox in the palace, everyone felt themselves to be in grave danger. The two palaces of Tzu Ning Palace and Shoukang Palace were tightly shut. The people from each palace didn't dare to casually walk about in the palace.

Within Shoukang Palace, Xuan Ye frowned slightly as he looked at the man lying on the bed. "Haven't you seen him yet?"

Toya slightly frowned and shook her head, "Reporting to the Emperor, there are still no good signs."

"However, the illness over at that side has already stabilized a lot, so why is it that the longevity is becoming more and more severe?" Xuan Ye sat by the bed of the longevity bed and caressed his son's little face, his heart filled with worry. Both princes were sick, and he spent the next few days in the palace taking care of them, day and night, and all the imperial physicians treated him the same, but the result of his treatment was very different. The cure was very different, the cure was stable, and her royal grandmother said that she had a good view of his son's face, but her longevity seemed to be growing worse and worse, so for the past two days, he stayed at the Longevity Palace almost day and night.

"Your Majesty, this servant thought that it might have been because Prince Changsheng had caught the cold that delayed the treatment, and when His Highness the Crown Prince had gotten sick, because of the precedent of the Prince of Longevity, the treatment of the imperial physician was also more immediate." Toya said softly.

Xuan Ye nodded and looked at Toya. "Your words are reasonable. It's been hard on you these days." In the past few days, Xuan Ye had personally seen Toya, who was by his side, carefully taking care of him. No matter if he was feeding her medicine or food, he had never been afraid of smallpox. After all, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he asked, "Toya, are you really not afraid of being infected by smallpox?"

"This servant's life is cheap, I wouldn't be afraid even if I got infected. As long as Prince Changsheng is able to recover quickly, Toya is willing to exchange her life for it." Seeing that Xuan Ye was concerned about her, a blush appeared on Toya's face.

Seeing the blush on Toya's face, Xuan Ye's heart was moved. He actually had a good impression of her. This girl was very kind. Her actions these past few days had moved Xuan Ye very much.

Toya lightly wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at his pained face, saying with a pained heart, "Noble Lady Rong would definitely be very sad to see the prince like this."

He knew that on the day when Zhi Jing took him away, Rong'er would be very sad. He visited her at night, and Rong'er would only shed tears as she begged him to save Longevity and the promise of success. If something happened to him, the Empress's spirit in heaven wouldn't be at ease, and longevity wouldn't be able to endure the pain of losing her son again. How could Xuan Ye not know about this? He did not allow Rong'er to see Bao Cheng and Long Life, but he promised the two children that he would immediately tell her if they had any news, but … For the past two days, Changsheng's situation had been getting worse and worse. He didn't even dare to go see Rong'er, as he was unable to endure his son's pain.

"My first prince, Cheng Rui, died of smallpox. We remember that at that time, we were really sad, our eldest son was also the first child of Noble Lady Rong, at that time, Noble Lady Rong was also grieving. This year, we had five princes with Noble Lady Rong, but even though there were many princes, three princes died very early. We are truly afraid that Noble Lady Rong will not be able to take it. "

Looking at the expression on the emperor's face, Toya was stunned. When the emperor was talking about the Noble Lady Rong, his expression actually carried a trace of gentleness? Yes, it was gentleness, an expression she had never seen on the face of the emperor. She could tell that the emperor was truly worried about the Noble Lady Rong, so Toya said firmly, "Your majesty, don't be sad, just comfort the Noble Lady Rong a little more."

Xuan Ye realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly stood up. He turned around and said softly, "Toya, take good care of the prince. I'll head back to the palace first and visit Changsheng later. Send someone to inform me if there's anything."

"Yes." Toya stood up and respectfully sent Xuan Ye out the door.

Xuan Ye walked out of the palace, his eyes turning red unconsciously. The counsellor stood guard at the door, but when he saw the emperor come out, he hurried forward and asked, "Your majesty, are we returning to the palace?"

Xuan Ye shook his head. "To the storage palace." It had been two days since he had last seen Rong'er. Although he really wanted to escape, he knew that he had to go and comfort Rong'er so that he wouldn't think too much about himself.

In Rong'er's room, he was standing by his bedside, holding a cup of water in his hand as he handed it to him. This was the first scene Xuan Ye saw when he entered his son's room.

"Rong'er, are you alright?" Xuan Ye asked worriedly.

"The emperor asks of the king." When he saw Xuan Ye walk in, he hurried to pay his respects. Xuan Ye gently picked up his daughter and said, "Rong Ye is really obedient. Are you taking care of your mother?"

Emperor Ama, his concubine is sick. The imperial physicians have promised to take good care of her. "

"Rong'er, are you sick?" Xuan Ye hurriedly walked over to Rong'er's bedside and asked worriedly.

Rong'er shook his head. "It's nothing serious. The imperial physician said that chenqie is ill, but she's just a little worried about longevity. She'll be fine after a good rest. Your majesty, how's Cheng and the longevity coming along?"

"Rong'er …" Xuan Ye, who was sitting next to Rong'er, sighed. "I've already recovered from my illness. Longevity …" Xuan Ye hesitated on how to organize his words. After all, longevity was not necessarily a problem. He did not want Rong'er to lose hope. Longevity might be in a slightly worse condition, or might be because he was delayed in the beginning, but right now, the imperial doctors are also doing their best to treat him. "

Rong'er nodded, she had a premonition, she was afraid that it would be difficult to protect her son. She didn't know if it was due to Cheng Rui's precedent that the mother's heart was connected, but even though she was unwilling to believe in longevity, she could guarantee that it would lead to better sickness, and the longevity would not improve at all. Isn't this a disaster?

"Rong-er, don't say that. It's not your fault. It's a guarantee that you'll be fine. You have to be strong, okay?" Xuan Ye said in heartache.

Rong'er only stared at Xuan Ye with dull eyes. Her eyes had turned red after a long time. She didn't want to think about it, but … Her longevity … Her heart was so tired, so tired …

[The story of Big Brother and Third Brother being brought up outside the palace is in the "Kangxi Chronicles", but why would the Emperor's children be raised in the house of his subjects?] It seemed that only during the Kangxi period had done so, so combined with the death of the old man and the fact that the crown prince had also been infected with smallpox, Yuetong wanted to emphasize the identity of the person who had raised them. Eldest Brother Baoqing was the oldest prince alive at the time, and he was raised in the General Office of the Interior at Kalu; his official rank was of the second rank; and Third Brother Yin was raised in the House of the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of the Interior was of the first rank, and Yuetong had found out from Kangxi's records that there was a second rank of the highest rank. "What I'm trying to say is that the ones who raise Third Brother have a higher status than the ones who raise Big Brother. The more Kang Xi likes the children, the more he sends them to the higher position amongst the ministers, right? Here's a little confirmation. Xuan Ye prefers Yin, but Zhi Zhi's personality hasn't been fully displayed yet, so it's only because he likes his mother to be consort, hehe ~
