Chapter 135 Fu Cha Yi Xin 11
Chapter 135 Fu Cha Yi Xin 11
Zhen Huan's birthday party was very lively. All the concubines in the harem were present. The emperor raised his glass and said some polite words, and then the party began.
There was drinking and chatting at the banquet, as well as singing and dancing performances.
After the banquet, the emperor took Zhen Huan to a lake. They walked across the rocky hill and stood on a flat grassland.
The concubines in the harem did not follow. They just stood in an open space in front of the Peony Terrace. Yi Xin did not go forward, but just watched from a distance. After all, her belly was already very big now. Even if she had the ability to ensure that she would not be hurt, sometimes some things happened that were not expected.
She should be more cautious.
Zhen Huan looked down along the direction the Emperor was looking and saw a pond of lotus flowers. It was only April and the lotus flowers were not yet in bloom, so it was truly a magical sight.
Not only that, Zhen Huan also found many kites flying in the sky, including butterflies, swallows, phoenixes, etc., which was very spectacular.
Zhen Huan held the kite string in her hand and flew it with the emperor, with a smile on her face. It was obvious that she was very happy today.
The concubines in the harem were watching this scene behind the two of them. Those who didn't have the emperor in their hearts were naturally happy to see such a beautiful scenery, such as Concubine Jing. However, those who had the emperor in their hearts were naturally unwilling and full of jealousy when they saw how much the emperor had done for Zhen Huan. There was no smile on their faces at all. That was Concubine Hua.
What the queen was thinking naturally did not show on her face. At this moment, she had a smile on her face as she looked at the kite in the sky.
Shen Meizhuang still had a cold look on her face, and An Lingrong lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhen Huan and the Emperor in front were laughing happily. At this time, Prince Guo was about to come on stage. Yi Xin knew that in the original plot, it was at this time that Prince Guo played a song "Phoenix Flying" for Zhen Huan to celebrate her birthday.
But, this time it's impossible.
Yi Xin looked in one direction, and sure enough, within a moment, a young eunuch ran over from there. He ran very fast, shouting continuously.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
"Oh no, something happened! Something happened to the Fourth Prince!"
Just as he was about to run up to the emperor, he was stopped by the guards around the emperor and was not allowed to go any further.
At this moment, Prince Guo had just stepped forward with Chang Xiang Shou in his hand, but when he heard what the little eunuch said, he frowned unconsciously.
The emperor heard the noise and turned to look.
The young eunuch looked panic-stricken and had tears on his face. I don’t know if it was because he had been running all the way here, but his breathing was heavy.
The emperor waved his hand and asked the guards to let him go. When he saw the guards put away their swords, he immediately ran to the emperor and knelt down.
"What happened?" asked the emperor.
The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, something happened to the Fourth Prince. He accidentally fell down from the building just now and is now unconscious. The imperial physician... the imperial physician said that the Fourth Prince's legs may not be saved."
"What did you say?" The emperor could never have imagined that something like this would happen today. Although he disliked him because of his biological mother, the Fourth Prince had grown up well in the Old Summer Palace until now. He was about to grow up, but now an accident happened.
The young eunuch knocked his head to the ground, and there was a hint of tears in his voice: "Your Majesty, I am the eunuch beside the Fourth Prince, I dare not say the slightest lie. Your Majesty, please go and see the Fourth Prince."
Because today is Zhen Huan's birthday party, many people came to attend, and when the little eunuch said this, everyone present heard it. Regardless of whether the emperor really cares about the Fourth Prince or not, he must go.
If he remained indifferent, he would inevitably come across as mean and ungrateful.
Now he didn't care that Zhen Huan's birthday party had not yet ended. He let go of Zhen Huan's hand and left without saying a word.
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor's hurried back and couldn't help but shout, "Your Majesty..."
The concubines behind him also heard the news that something had happened to the Fourth Prince. They were no longer in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Some of them even stood together and whispered, discussing something.
Zhen Huan stood there, looking at the birthday gift that the emperor had prepared for her. Her mood was completely different from before, and she didn't feel happy at all.
She noticed that the people behind her would look at her from time to time. It was not envy or jealousy, but this vague and ambiguous look made her very uncomfortable.
Concubine Hua on the stage finally smiled today. Looking at Zhen Huan's current appearance, there was an obvious hint of mockery in her eyes. Seeing her sad, Concubine Hua felt very happy.
At this time, in the Old Summer Palace, the Fourth Prince lived.
As soon as the emperor entered the yard, he saw people coming in and out of the room from time to time. They were holding basins in their hands, and the water in the basins was blood red.
He frowned and walked into the room, only to see the Fourth Prince lying on the bed with one of his legs exposed. There was a deep wound on his leg that was still bleeding.
An imperial physician was kneeling in front of the bed, treating his injuries, and beside him, a young eunuch was wiping the blood from the Fourth Prince's wounds.
The emperor watched but did not disturb him. He sat on the couch opposite the door and waited. The queen followed him to where the Fourth Prince lived. At this moment, she was standing beside him. Her eyes showed worry about the Fourth Prince and her face was full of compassion.
She said softly to the emperor, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Fourth Prince is a lucky man and will be fine."
When the emperor heard this, he looked at her. Her face was heavily made up, and her expression and movements seemed to tell him that she was really worried about the Fourth Prince.
I didn't think so before, but now that I look closely, it seems so fake no matter how I look at it. She is just pretending.
Suddenly, the emperor felt annoyed. She was very close to him, so close that he could see clearly that the reason why her makeup was so thick was because the wounds on her face had not yet healed completely. Although she tried her best to cover it up, there were still some bulges on her face, which was very scary if you looked at it for a long time.
So, he turned his head and stopped looking at him, then said coldly: "The wound on the queen's face has not healed yet, go back and rest, you don't have to stay here with her."
The smile on the queen's face froze and she felt a little embarrassed. She and the emperor had been married for many years, so how could she not see that he was bored with her? She forced a smile on her face and said nothing more. She bowed and was supported by Jianqiu out of the yard.
The emperor had just finished a cup of tea when the bedside physician finished bandaging the Fourth Prince. He walked over to the emperor and knelt before him.
The emperor asked, "Is the Fourth Prince's injury serious?"
The doctor replied, "Your Majesty, the wound on the Fourth Prince's leg looks scary, but it is not difficult to treat. Just apply a few patches of medicine and it will heal quickly. But...but the problem is the Fourth Prince's leg bone. The bone in his leg is broken. Even if it can be connected, I am afraid he will never be able to walk normally again."
