Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 73 Shi Wenbing is seriously ill

Hesheli Huangcheng Ama had three wives, all of whom have passed away.

The third one was his father's cousin, who had an adopted son.

Although the adopted son was his younger brother, he got married before him.

And at the end of last year, his third wife's half-sister, who was another cousin of his father, entered his father's backyard.

He was the only legitimate son in the family and the second child in the family, a royal heir, and his nickname was Baocheng.

All the clues point to the fact that Hesheli Huang Cheng's true identity is self-evident.

However, people are not as good as heaven.

He didn't know that after Wanyu got home, she felt that the jade pendant was too valuable and kept it as a treasure.

Apart from the two maids beside her, no one knew about this jade pendant.

Xia He and Xia Lu had never seen the prince, so naturally they had no idea of ​​the extraordinary nature of this jade pendant.

Wanyu also lost the opportunity to learn the true identity of Hesheli Huang Cheng before the election.

As for Yinreng, he had been waiting in Yuqing Palace for the people from the Guwalgiya clan to ask for a meeting.

However, I didn’t expect that before the election, the Guwalja clan had not taken any action.

Yinreng even suspected that the people of the Guwalgiya clan were partial to Shi Wanlin, so they were unwilling to let Wanyu enter the Eastern Palace?

Or is it that the Shi family's thoughts are all focused on Shi Huashan and Shi Wenbing, father and son, and they don't even want the position of Crown Princess?

Little did he know that the people in Guwaljia Prefecture had no idea of ​​his intentions from beginning to end.

But this is all for later.

After Wanyu left, Yinreng immediately brought his people back to the palace.

Shi Wenbing suddenly fell seriously ill, so he had to tell Khan Ama and then send an imperial physician to Guwaljia Prefecture to treat Shi Wenbing.

Shi Wenbing is not only a trusted and important minister of Khan Ama, but also Wanyu's uncle.

It was also one of the reasons why she gained a foothold in the palace after entering Yuqing Palace.

Therefore, at this juncture, Shi Wenbing must not get into any trouble!

After returning to the palace, Yinreng went to the Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi first.

Emperor Kangxi was sitting on the dragon throne in the Qianqing Palace, reviewing memorials. The palace was silent except for the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

It was surprising why the prince returned to the palace so early today and even came to the Qianqing Palace.

He then put down the red brush in his hand, and after Yinreng paid his respects, Kangxi asked about it with concern.

"Baocheng used to stay at Huguo Temple for a whole day before returning to the palace. Why is he back so early today?"

Yinreng replied respectfully, "Khan Ama, when I was passing through Dongzhimen Inner Street, I saw people from Guwalja Prefecture hurriedly calling for a doctor."

"After sending people to inquire, we learned that Shi Wenbing had suddenly fallen ill and was now in a coma."

"My son thinks that Shi Wenbing is a close confidant of Khan Ama, and he has coordinated military affairs in the Fuzhou area, strengthened coastal defense, and maintained local stability. He has made great contributions."

"Now that he has suddenly fallen seriously ill, my son wants to make sure his loyal ministers don't lose heart."

"So I didn't bother going to the Huguo Temple anymore, but returned to the palace to report to Khan Ama immediately."

"Please ask Khan Ama to arrange for the imperial physician to go to Guwalja Prefecture to treat Shi Wenbing."

After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi nodded in satisfaction at the prince's actions.

Shi Wenbing is not only his confidant, but also the biological father of the Crown Princess whom he values ​​as the Crown Prince.

If Shi Wenbing died in an accident, the princesses of the Shi family would have to observe mourning.

Then wouldn't it take a few more years for his prince to get married?

You have to know that the eldest prince already has three legitimate daughters, but the prince can't even touch a woman now.

As a father, although he didn't say it on the surface, he was very anxious in his heart.

Because there can't be any mistakes in the selection of the Crown Princess, which will put his beloved son at a disadvantage.

Kangxi turned around and instructed Liang Jiugong to quickly dispatch the imperial physician to Guwaljia Prefecture.

"Baocheng, you did a great job today. You are becoming more and more like a crown prince."

"It shows that you have gradually gained the experience of being the crown prince, but the way to be a king is far from simple."

Although Khan Ama misunderstood his intention, Yinreng still lowered his head and listened, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"The path to becoming crown prince requires constant learning and growth," Kangxi said earnestly, "especially in the art of controlling people. A ruler must delve deeply into this."

“Managing people is not simply about controlling them; it requires knowing how to assign them to the right positions and learning how to use both kindness and authority.”

"A ruler should first be kind and sympathetic to the sufferings of his subjects, and then show them mercy."

"But having a kind heart alone is not enough. One must also be able to distinguish right from wrong and use wisdom to govern the country."

"The art of controlling people is an indispensable skill for a ruler."

The prince nodded, knowing that every word of his father's teachings was precious.

“Although kindness is important, one should not be too kind.”

“Giving kindness should be done in moderation and not indiscriminately.”

"Excessive favors can easily lead to dependence and even a loss of respect for the ruler, causing the subjects to believe the ruler is weak and thus fostering ambition."

"Baocheng, in the past, Emperor Renzong of Song was too benevolent, so the literati and officials almost completely controlled the government, which led to the decline of the government and frequent internal and external troubles."

"You should learn from history. A wise ruler is benevolent and wise, merciful and decisive. Only then can he govern the world and bring peace to the country."

Yinreng nodded solemnly, knowing that this was Khan Ama teaching him how to be a king.

"My son will definitely remember Khan Ama's words."

Kangxi continued, "Too little favor will easily lose people's hearts."

"As a ruler, you must grasp this balance."

"Bestowing favors is a means of increasing the loyalty of your subjects. How to make them see your sovereign's appreciation for them while not letting them become arrogant is something you need to consider deeply."

"At the same time, decisiveness is also the key to controlling people."

"When faced with a major event, one must not hesitate but must act decisively. Only in this way can one win the support of the people."

"Also let the subjects understand that the king's will cannot be disobeyed!"

Kangxi's eyes were full of praise: "You did a great job today. It was decisive and timely, and it was very much to my liking."

"Baocheng, your growth rate makes your father happy."

"A ruler must constantly learn and grow in order to maintain his position on this vast empire."

Unexpectedly, due to his selfish motives, he accidentally won the approval of Khan Ama.

Yinreng took a deep breath. While feeling ashamed, he also felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility.

"Yinreng is deeply grateful for the teachings of the Emperor."

"I, your son, will study diligently and emulate the sages, hoping to help your Majesty relieve his burdens and worries, further the foundation of our great Qing dynasty, and live up to the grace of Heaven and the people."

Looking at his son with an upright posture, clear eyes and high spirits, Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of relief and pride.

.........

Li Henian, the judge of the left court of the Imperial Medical Bureau, dressed in court robes and carrying a medicine box, hurried into the Guwaljia Mansion.

At this time, the mansion was filled with tension and worry. Everyone in the mansion was overjoyed when they heard that the emperor had sent the left court judge to the mansion for treatment.

Especially Xiao Jueluo, whose eyes were red, and the old couple Shi Huashan who were sitting anxiously at the top.

When they saw the imperial physician, the anxiety in their eyes was instantly replaced by the light of hope.

"Doctor Li, you're here!" Fu Dali stepped forward, his anxiousness mixed with a hint of comfort. "Could you please take a look at my father's condition?"

Li Henian nodded slightly, his face solemn: "Let me take Lord Shi's pulse first."

He walked straight to the bedside, and everyone waited with bated breath.

Shi Wenbing's face was pale and his breathing was weak. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, he would have been no different from a dead person.

Li Henian gently took his pulse, closed his eyes and concentrated. After a moment, he opened his eyes with a frown.

"Has Lord Shi caught a cold recently?"

Fu Dali quickly said, "I did catch a cold on my way back to Beijing last month."

"But after asking the doctor to check my pulse and taking a few doses of medicine, I was already well."

"After returning home, the court doctor diagnosed my father's cold and said it was no longer a problem, so we didn't take it seriously."

"Doctor Li, is Father's illness this time related to that cold?"

Li Henian nodded.

"Master Shi, this is because of the cold that has triggered an old illness in your body."

"The cold may be minor, but the old illness is more serious."

"If it's not diagnosed and treated promptly, and treated as a common symptom, it's unlikely to be fully recovered. Over time, it will damage the underlying condition, and within three to five years, your life could be in jeopardy."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

Shi Huashan heard that his eldest son's illness was so serious that he might die within three to five years.

He was so frightened that his body swayed slightly and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Jueluo slumped down on the chair, saying, "May the Buddha bless you, and may the Emperor's grace be great."

Shi Huashan's beard trembled as he asked anxiously, "Then, what should we do now?"

"You don't have to worry too much, Prince Consort." Li Henian smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and I already have a solution."

"It requires internal medication and acupuncture, both internal and external treatment. It will take half a year to help the adult recover."
