Chapter 383 Crown Princess 47
On the official road, horses galloped and sand flew all over the ground.
Yinreng and the third prince Yinzhi did not dare to delay on the road, and neither did the imperial physician. They did not even dare to rest. Several horses died from running, and their clothes, which were always clean, became dirty. They finally arrived in Mobei in a very miserable state.
When their figures appeared on the road, Emperor Kangxi had been in a coma for a long time, had a low fever, and was dying. During this period, Mingzhu tried her best to save the situation and offered the imperial physician quinine sent by foreign missionaries.
The imperial physician didn't dare to use it, but seeing that the emperor was getting worse, he finally used it.
"Shut up!"
Outside the tent, Yinreng and the third prince pulled the reins and dismounted from their horses.
"Your Highness, Third Prince."
Mingzhu knew they were approaching, so she was waiting at the door. As soon as she saw them, she immediately came to greet them, but her eyes were tired and there was despair all over her body.
The hearts of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince sank at the same time.
"How is the Emperor?" Yinreng asked in a deep voice.
Mingzhu's face was tense, but she couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty has been in a coma for a long time. He hasn't had a drop of water in the past few days."
"Imperial Physician, go to the dragon tent immediately!"
Yinreng immediately gave the order and rushed towards the dragon tent.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Third Prince, why don't you go and tidy up now, and..." Mingzhu's hesitant gaze fell on the two of them.
"No need!"
Yinreng refused and strode away with heavy steps.
With a "bang", a figure suddenly rushed out from a distance and pressed down Yinreng, who had been tired for several days.
The sand and dirt instantly stuck to Yinreng's clothes, making him look even more miserable.
"Why are you so late? Why are you so late?"
"Big brother!"
"Big brother, stop it!"
When everyone saw this, they quickly ran up to stop them.
The eldest prince looked at Yinreng, who was covered in dirt, and immediately covered his face: "Do you know how much suffering the emperor has endured? Why don't you bring the imperial physician here quickly!"
When Yinreng heard this, he didn't have time to pursue him, and immediately asked: "What happened to my father?"
"Your Majesty is still in a coma. Your Highness, the eldest prince is too nervous and worried." Mingzhu looked at Yinreng hesitantly: "Your Highness, you are in this state now, why don't you change your clothes first? No matter what, Your Majesty doesn't want to see you in such a mess."
"No need." Yinreng patted his sleeves, his expression solemn, and walked very fast, even using light skills.
-
In the dragon tent.
Kangxi, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up drowsily, but his eyelids were still heavy. As soon as he woke up, he felt that he might be having a last burst of consciousness. In a trance, he seemed to hear worried and heavy voices outside.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally arrived with the imperial physician. Your Majesty will be fine."
"Why hasn't your highness the Crown Prince come yet? It's already so late, and you're still here to update..."
Before he could finish his words, a dishevelled figure rushed in.
"Father, I am late!"
When Kangxi heard the familiar voice, his fingers trembled, his eyelids moved slightly, and finally, he opened his eyes. What he saw was the untidy, dishevelled prince, who looked nothing like his usual elegance and grace.
"Baocheng..." Kangxi spoke weakly, forgetting what he had just heard.
"Huang Ama!"
Yinreng grabbed Kangxi's hand and said, "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician! The Emperor is awake! The Emperor is awake!"
The scene was somewhat chaotic and no one noticed that a trace of water vapor went directly into Kangxi's heart.
Kangxi looked at his anxious son. He directly held Yinreng's hand, and his breathing became a little hurried: "Baocheng, from now on... the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will... be handed over to you..."
"Your Majesty!" Yinreng held his hand, tears streaming down his face.
Behind him, Mingzhu and the others hadn't noticed anything unusual and also started wiping their tears, their faces becoming increasingly heavy.
The imperial doctors then came forward one after another and took Kangxi's pulse, but after each one of them took the pulse, their faces instantly became solemn. It was obvious that Kangxi's pulse was not right.
Mingzhu was shocked when she saw this scene. She had a bad feeling in her heart.
Kangxi also saw the expression on the imperial physician's face, but he was not too surprised. After all, he knew his own body well, and he also had a premonition that he was about to die.
"Old... eldest... third..."
"Huang Ama."
The eldest and third princes, who were kneeling in front of the bed, stepped forward immediately.
Kangxi said with difficulty: "In the future, you must assist the prince well..."
The third prince looked at his frail father and burst into tears. The eldest prince was very confused. Why was the emperor like this?
But Kangxi no longer looked at them, but instead looked at his brothers.
"Second brother, Chang Ning, from now on, I will have to trouble you to assist the Crown Prince..."
Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Gong Changning held back their tears. They had clearly won the war and drove Galdan away, so how come the Emperor fell ill?
Prince Yu Fuquan nodded vigorously: "Okay, Your Majesty, rest assured, we will!"
"Most definitely!"
Kangxi coughed, enduring the itchiness in his throat: "Liang Jiugong, take the imperial edict and read it."
Liang Jiugong stepped forward with a serious expression and took out a bright yellow imperial edict that had obviously been prepared from the secret compartment of the bed. He opened the imperial edict in his hand, and everyone knelt down immediately upon seeing it.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Crown Prince Yinreng is of noble character and closely resembles me, and will surely inherit the throne... The decree has been issued, and after my death, he shall be the new emperor. I decree this!"
After reading the imperial edict, Kangxi's eyes became more and more dazed. He suddenly grabbed Yinreng's hand and said, "Baocheng, remember, you must follow my rule and destroy Galdan! Eliminate...future troubles forever."
Yinreng suppressed his sobs and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Father Huang."
Kangxi relaxed his grip and fell silent.
"Your Majesty, pass away!"
When the crying sound suddenly started, Mingzhu looked up in disbelief and stood there in a daze.
It was as if they were...making wedding clothes for the prince.
-
The death knell rings and the whole world is in mourning.
Before the emperor's coffin was transported to the capital, the capital had already received the news. The entire palace was covered with white silk.
In the Yanxi Palace, the teacup in Concubine Hui's hand lost its balance and fell to the ground with a loud bang. The flying debris pierced her palm but she did not feel the pain.
She fell down on the chair, mumbling in a daze: "How could it be, how could His Majesty..."
Now that the Emperor has passed away, the Crown Prince will undoubtedly become the next Emperor.
No chance, absolutely no chance.
-
Fuzhou.
When the news of the national mourning reached Fuzhou, Shi Jingwan, who was looking at the account book, was also stunned.
With a "click", the account book fell to the ground, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it. She sat up suddenly, her eyes widened, her voice raised a lot, and she clenched her palms tightly: "What did you say, the emperor... died!"
Xiang Yun quickly whispered: "Yes, Madam, the new emperor will ascend the throne today."
Shi Jingwan fell into a trance. In the previous life, yes, in the previous life, His Majesty was also seriously ill at this time, but in the end, wasn't he...well? The prince also left a heavy knot in His Majesty's heart because of this.
How come at this moment, not only has the Emperor passed away so soon, but the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne and become the new emperor.
Shi Jingwan was confused.
In the end what happened?

ps: This world is about to end.
