The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 30 Everyone has their own concerns
It was already the beginning of summer when Yinzhen was in good health.

That day Yinzhen got up early and went to court.

In the past he always rode a horse to court, but today, as he had just recovered from a serious illness, Wen Xianqing advised him against the bumpy ride, so he took a sedan chair instead.

Yinzhen leaned against the sedan chair and closed his eyes to rest.

During the days he spent recuperating in the palace, he thought about the attack and his injuries for a long time.

He felt something was wrong from the moment that unfamiliar young eunuch came to "deliver oral instructions".

But thinking about it, he had already been infected with the virus at that time, his mind was confused for a moment, and he actually believed it easily.

Just when they were about to reach the city gate, they were attacked.

Not only are the other side very brave, but the killers are also well-trained.

Although the killers tried to cover it up by stealing their valuables, their obvious goal was to take their lives.

Especially to take his life - Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen.

The martial arts of those killers are far superior to those of his personal soldiers. It seems that his personal soldiers need to be trained well.

While Yinzhen was still thinking about the details of the attack, the sedan bearers had already carried him out of the palace gate.

Because Yinzhen had ordered that sedan chairs should not enter the imperial city, Su Peisheng stopped the sedan chair.

Su Peisheng helped Yinzhen get out of the sedan chair when a voice came from the side.

"Hello, Fourth Brother. Is he doing well?"

Yinzhen looked in the direction of the voice and saw the eighth prince Yinsi bowing to him.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Eight. I'm feeling much better now. But I caught a cold yesterday, so I'm not completely recovered yet."

Yinzhen pretended to cough a few times, and Su Peisheng hurried forward to pat his back.

Yinsi said, "Fourth brother should take better care of himself. If you don't stay at home to recover from your cold, aren't you afraid that you will pass on your illness to the emperor when you go to court?"

Yinzhen ignored the Eighth Prince and walked straight towards the Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, he met many court officials who came to ask about his well-being. They all knew that Prince Yong had gone to Henan to help with disaster relief, had contracted an epidemic, and had been attacked and poisoned.

Fortunately, the epidemic did not spread beyond Henan. It was said that as soon as Prince Yong woke up, he sent a doctor to Henan to treat the epidemic.

This not only cured the flood, but also stopped the spread of the epidemic. Everyone in the court was talking about how Prince Yong's actions were very appropriate.

When all the court officials arrived, the emperor sat on the dragon throne. He glanced below, his majesty evident without even being angry.

The eunuch chief Liang Jiugong stood by his side.

Yinzhen stood in the row of princes with his head lowered.

The emperor looked at him and said, "Fourth brother."

"Your son is here. I haven't paid my respects to Your Majesty Father for many days. I wish Your Majesty Father the best of health."

When Yinzhen saw that he was called, he knelt down quickly.

"Stand up. Are you feeling better?"

Although the emperor never showed much love and care for his son in public, he still paid a lot of attention to him in secret.

Of course the emperor knew how his son's health was during this period, but he still had to ask in the court.

"Thank you for your concern, Father. I am fine now."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough twice.

"Didn't you say you were fine? Why are you still coughing?"

The emperor said with concern.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the poison I was infected with has been cured and the epidemic has been eliminated. I am now well again. It was just that I caught a cold yesterday evening because I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the garden. It is nothing to worry about."

Yinzhen looked up at the emperor with admiration on his face.

"In that case, it's fine to take a leave today. Why rush to the court?" "Your son is in good health. I haven't seen your father for nearly a month. I miss him very much. I came to the court today to pay my respects."

Yinzhen said respectfully.

"Good. My fourth child has really improved."

After the emperor finished speaking, he asked Yinzhen to leave.

"Last night, General Fei Yanggu sent back a battle report that our army had defeated the Junggars and captured their main general alive. This battle was won quickly and the army will soon return to the capital."

After the emperor finished speaking, the court officials immediately knelt down.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up. When the army returns, I will reward the meritorious officials."

All the court officials shouted "Long live the emperor" again.

After the court session, Liang Jiugong stepped forward to pay his respects to Yinzhen.

"Prince Yong, please stay. The Emperor has summoned you to his study."

Yinzhen nodded: "Thank you, eunuch."

In the upper study, Yinzhen paid his respects to the emperor, and the emperor asked him to sit down and talk.

"Old Fourth, today in the court, I did not mention your contribution in curing disasters and epidemics. Do you blame me?"

The emperor asked casually while reviewing the memorials.

"Of course I won't blame the Emperor. I know that the Emperor is protecting me."

Yinzhen hurriedly stood up and bowed.

When the emperor heard this, he put down the red ink pen in his hand, looked at Yinzhen with a smile, and said to Liang Jiugong.

"See, I told you that the fourth brother would understand my painstaking efforts."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liang Jiugong agreed.

"I know you were attacked and poisoned, and I'm investigating. Fortunately, you are lucky and got through it safely."

The emperor said to Yinzhen.

"Thanks to the Emperor, I was able to be cured by a miracle doctor and now I am safe and sound."

"Oh? Is that the doctor named Wen Xianqing in your house?"

The emperor asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that is right. Doctor Wen is a rare miracle doctor in the world. He is a doctor from the Jianghu that my son's wife, Lady Ulanara, found."

Yinzhen was respectful.

"Okay, okay. Since he saved you, I will reward him. Tell me, what reward should I give him?"

"I would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of Doctor Wen. I think it would be a waste of talent for such a good doctor to be confined to my residence. If he can be used by the whole country, it will not only show the generosity of the royal family, but also win the reputation of the people."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he lowered his head.

The emperor looked at him for a long time and then said.

"Okay. The fourth brother has the whole world in his heart. I will reward Doctor Wen as the chief clerk of the fifth rank, and he will join the Imperial Hospital today. He can find a way to cure the epidemic for the people of the world."

"Thank you, Father Emperor. I would like to thank you on behalf of Doctor Wen."

After coming out of the study, Yinzhen stood outside the door and looked back at the plaque of the study.

The emperor watched Yinzhen walk out from inside the door.

The father and son each had their own concerns.
