Chapter 20 Letter from Yihuan
In the capital, news came that the emperor and the crown prince were assassinated and the fourth prince was injured.

Yihuan was playing the game of "statue" with Honghui. When she heard the words, she was so shocked that she smashed the porcelain cup.

The young eunuch sent by Su Peisheng to deliver the message was very clever. He recreated the scene vividly. Yihuan heaved a sigh of relief only after learning that Yinzhen was fine.

Seeing his mother's expression turn serious, Honghui didn't dare to act coquettishly. He just held Yihuan's skirt tightly with both hands, looking a little uneasy.

"Father!" Honghui shouted loudly. He seemed to understand that Yinzhen was injured, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Yihua touched Honghui's head and said, "Your father is fine, he just has to come back later than agreed. Honghui should insist on writing to father every day, okay?"

"Okay." Honghui nodded vigorously.

He learned that Kangxi hurriedly returned to Beijing with the crown prince and his ministers, leaving his son who had suffered an unexpected disaster behind to recuperate alone.

Although intellectually, this is the best option.

But from Yinzhen's perspective, he would probably be a little hurt.

He has never been the most favored son in his parents' hearts.

Yihuan sighed inwardly. She instructed the eunuch Abao and Nanny Chen to buy some medicines and supplements respectively, and then search the storehouse in the Fourth Prince's mansion to pack up what could be used as quickly as possible and have the eunuch who delivered the message take them back together.

At the same time, Yihuan came to the study. This was the first time she wrote a letter to Yinzhen in her own tone during this period.

Although her handwriting was very different from the original owner's, fortunately she found an excuse, saying that she accidentally hurt her hand and did not want to ask the servants to write for her, so Yinzhen was asked to bear with it.

"Sir, I am writing to you.

I was shocked to hear that you were injured during your southern tour, and I am deeply worried.

My lord, you are always patient when encountering difficulties, but recuperating from injuries is no trivial matter. I hope you will listen to the doctor's advice and not be afraid to see a doctor.

I will take good care of the Empress in the palace and the children in the mansion. Please don't worry too much while you are ill, as this will hurt your health.

I have prepared some medicinal supplements. Please ask the doctor to use them carefully. I hope they can be used.

I hope you take care of yourself and get well soon. I and the children are waiting for you to come back at home."

As Yihuan wrote, she actually began to feel uncomfortable.

Ever since he came across this world, Yinzhen has respected him in everything, asked him questions from time to time, and treated Honghui with increasing respect and love.

Yihua saw everything.

She could not deny that Yinzhen had tried his best as a husband and a father.

In this case, Yihuan does not intend to be stingy with her emotions. When Yinzhen is at his most vulnerable, she will take this opportunity to occupy the most important position in his heart, and then expand it little by little.

Is it difficult? Maybe it will be difficult, maybe it will be easy.

Start by exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

Thinking of this, Yihuan couldn't help but shed a few tears, which fell on the letter paper, leaving spots of marks.

The next day, Yihuan packed up all the prepared things and was about to ask the eunuch to take them away when a distinguished guest arrived at the mansion.

"Fourteenth brother?"

The young man, dressed in riding clothes, rushed in hurriedly.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm glad I came in time. I heard that Fourth Brother was injured, and I thought you must want to send something to Fourth Brother. It just so happens that I can be the messenger for Fourth Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law, don't worry."

No, I am worried. Yihuan understood the Fourteenth Master's intention. He wanted to go to Suzhou to visit Yinzhen in person.

This was somewhat unexpected. After all, from what Yihuan had seen over the past two years, the relationship between the Fourteenth Master and Yinzhen was only average.

As an elder brother, Yinzhen couldn't stand the Fourteenth Master's jumping around, and whenever they met, he would always act like an elder brother and give him a lecture.

The Fourteenth Prince has been favored by the Emperor since he was young. He has a flamboyant personality and cannot stand being disciplined. He always relies on Concubine De to stimulate his brother Yinzhen.

As a result, the relationship between the mother and her two children naturally fell into a vicious circle and became increasingly strained.

In the past two years, with Honghui as a buffer, Yinzhen rarely picked on Honghui because he saw that the Fourteenth Master truly loved Honghui.

But overall, I basically want to be close in my heart, but my actions are always distant.

I didn't expect that the Fourteenth Master really had a pure heart and was very sincere towards Yinzhen.

But Yihuan would never agree to this. It was obvious that the Fourteenth Master was acting impulsively, and Concubine De would be the first one who would not agree.

"I am naturally relieved by Fourteenth Brother's work, but does the Empress in the palace know about it?" Yihuan winked at Abao.

A Bao was very smart. He immediately sent a trusted confidant with Yihuan's badge to the palace to ask for instructions from Concubine De.

The Fourteenth Master touched his nose and said indifferently, "It's okay. Mother is worried about Fourth Brother and couldn't sleep all night. It's a good opportunity for me to go and check on her so that she can feel at ease."

Yihuan invited the Fourteenth Master to come in and sit down, and Yuxiao served him hot tea.

"The emperor left the imperial physician to take care of the Fourth Master's health, so I think it's right. The Fourteenth Master has such a heavy workload, so my sister-in-law originally wanted to ask my brothers from my mother's family to go with him, and they are already waiting at the door."

"Don't worry, Fourteenth Brother. If there is any news from the Fourth Master, I will pass it to you. How about that?"

The Fourteenth Master impatiently drank up the tea: "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't stop me. At most, I can follow the convoy."

Yihuan could only coax her brother-in-law to come, saying sometimes that she had forgotten some precious medicinal herbs, and sometimes that she had forgotten the gift that Honghui had prepared for her father. Fortunately, she managed to drag it on until the eunuch Zhou An from Concubine De's palace arrived.

When the Fourteenth Master saw Zhou An, his eyes widened and he looked at Yi Huan in disbelief. In the end, he could only follow Zhou An unwillingly.

Yinzhen sat on the bed recuperating from his injuries, and the letters that came from the mansion every day became his daily pastime.

The hairpin-shaped small regular script written on each piece of letter paper described Honghui's interesting stories, as well as some innocent questions of young children, which Yinzhen would carefully think about and answer in his reply.

Today's letter was different. It was a letter from Fu Jin. The worry between the lines was evident on the paper. After reading it, Yinzhen felt his face turn a little red.

This woman has no sense of modesty, especially when I saw the traces of tears at the end, I thought of that weak but extremely strong woman crying alone.

This is really a novel experience.

An unprecedented warmth lingered in his heart, and Yinzhen's expression was extremely relaxed.

Being almost abandoned by the Emperor's father and thrown into Suzhou and Hangzhou, Yinzhen felt resentful about everything he saw these days.

They are both sons, so why are they treated so differently? Is it just because he is the crown prince?
Thinking of this, Yinzhen's eyes became deeper and his pupils became surprisingly black. He seemed to have made up his mind and something had changed at this moment.

Fortunately, there are people who care about him, namely his first wife and legitimate son. They are the people with the closest connection to him in the world.

For the sake of his beloved wife and young son, Yinzhen secretly swore in his heart.

Since you can't be the one who is favored, then be the one who cannot be abandoned.

I must become the most useful person to the Emperor!
