Chapter 209 Fighting
Yihuan was still dazed when she was carried into the inner room. She was enjoying the caress of nature, but unexpectedly she suddenly fell freely.
Fortunately, this swing was designed for a small child like Liuliu and was not too high. In addition, the eunuchs in the Yikun Palace reacted promptly, so she was not hurt. Despite this, the imperial physician still had to make a visit and alarmed Yinzhen.
The imperial physician prescribed a tranquilizing decoction for Yihuan and said a bunch of incomprehensible words. In the end, he simply summarized it as being scary.
Yihuan didn't feel scared. Who hasn't fallen down in their life? But for a queen in the Qing Dynasty, it seemed a little unusual.
Yinzhen gave a holiday to the ministers who were discussing matters in the Yangxin Palace, allowing everyone to rest for a while, go to the toilet, and have some snacks. He stood up and hurried towards the Yiku Palace.
"Mammy, I'm really fine. Look, I can even walk around a few times." Mammy Chen strongly urged Yihuan to stay in bed and recuperate, but she was not sick and could not lie down at all.
"Your Majesty, you almost scared me to death. I have already drunk the calming soup. I will rest for a day and it will be fine to exercise again tomorrow." Nanny Chen said fearfully.
All right, Yihua could only lie on the bed and read the storybook: "Mammy, let Abao bring people to carefully check everything that Liuliu Little Wolf played with. If it was Liuliu who played with him today, something bad would have happened."
Children are light, and if they break their legs or get disfigured, it would be too late to regret.
"Yes. Your Majesty, is this possible?" Nanny Chen couldn't help but think about it in the direction of conspiracy. There was really no such thing as coincidence in the palace.
Yinzhen came back at this time. He first glanced at Yihuan, and was relieved to see that her face was rosy and she was not in pain.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on Yihuan's wrist. He sat upright for a while. Only then did Yihuan realize that he was taking her pulse.
Yinzhen was a very strong person, which could be seen from the fact that he and Defei had been at loggerheads for decades. He was also a person with a strong desire for control.
So in his spare time he would read some medical books and learn some basic medical skills, trying his best to make sure that the people in the Imperial Hospital could not fool him. After all, Kangxi's death was imminent and the people in the Imperial Hospital were not that reliable.
Therefore, every time the imperial physician asked for the emperor's pulse, Yihuan would worry for them. How to appear professional without making the emperor look stupid is really a science.
Seeing Yinzhen's serious expression, Yihuan wanted to tease him: "What did the emperor diagnose? Pregnancy pulse?"
Yinzhen glared at her. Although Kangxi's decree of succession said that Yinzhen did not need to observe a one-year mourning period, he had prepared for it. He had been a vegetarian during this period and naturally became more abstinent.
Yihuan motioned for Yuxue to bring the old duck soup that had been cooked long ago: "Your Majesty, Su Peisheng said that you didn't eat well this morning. How can this be okay? There are endless political affairs to deal with. I was thinking of personally delivering it to you at noon, but now there is no need to bother. Drink some while it's hot."
Yinzhen frowned subconsciously. He hated all tonic broths equally. He just looked at Yihuan's attentive eyes and swallowed it in one breath.
"Wow, your Majesty is so awesome. I'll reward you with a candied fruit." Yihuan quickly stuffed the prepared candied fruit into Yinzhen's mouth.
"You are coaxing me like a little wolf." Yinzhen eased the taste in his mouth, "I will order the Ministry of Works to check it out. Don't go to the Empress Dowager these days. Take good care of yourself."
Yihuan wanted to say that there was no need to raise the child, but it seemed like a good idea if she didn't have to pay respects to Concubine De, so she kept her mouth shut.
Yinzhen stared at Yihuan until she fell asleep, then returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. He glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Call the Minister of Works and the Minister of Rites." As soon as Su Peisheng heard the voice, he knew that Yinzhen was angry, but he didn't know which of the two ministers would be the unlucky one this time.

Yihuan slept for the whole afternoon and paced back and forth in the room feeling refreshed in the afternoon when she heard a commotion outside.
"Guo Wei? Let him in." This eunuch was with Xiaolang. He was not with Xiaolang at this hour, so why did he come to Yikun Palace?
"Your servant pays his respects to the Empress. The Fourth Prince and Prince Hongzhao had a fight. The First Prince personally slapped the Fourth Prince ten times. Now the Fourth Prince is crying loudly and keeps calling for the Empress. Your servant dares to ask you to move away." Guo Wei said anxiously.
Yihuan thought it was normal for children to fight, and many revolutionary friendships were established through fights.
But considering Xiaolang's natural power, Yihua asked first: "Is Hongzhao okay?"
"When I came out, Princess Li had arrived, and Prince Hongzhao seemed to be fine." Guo Wei was not sure either. He had also been beaten by the young master, and that feeling would be unforgettable for him for the rest of his life.
"Then call the imperial physician and go together." Yihuan stood up. "What are they fighting about?"
"Although I have always been following the Fourth Prince, I am not allowed to go in when the princes are in class, so I didn't know much about it. I only know that the two of them suddenly started quarreling, and the teacher's attempts to persuade them to stop were useless. It was only when the eldest prince stepped forward that they separated." Guo Wei was also at a loss. He had served the young master until he was old enough and knew his personality very well. He was very approachable and had never seen him quarrel with anyone. He was cheerful all day long and everyone liked him.
When Yihuan arrived, the wet nurse was hugging Hongzhao tightly. The little wolf stopped crying and ignored Honghui, sobbing. His mouth was pouting and he looked like he could be covered in oil.
"Doctor, please check on Prince Hongzhao first. Children's arms and legs are tender, make sure he doesn't get hurt anywhere." The wet nurse was a close confidant of the late deposed Crown Princess Tong Guining. She looked very frightened, so Yihuan spoke to comfort her first.
"Little Wolf, tell the Empress Dowager why you fought with your brother." Yihua patiently spoke to Little Wolf, "You are the older brother, and you should love and care for your younger brother. Isn't that what the Empress Dowager taught you?"
Little Wolf pouted: "Brother Hong Zhao said that the position of the Emperor should be his, and our family is just bandits."
This really shocked everyone. Yihuan was unable to react for a moment, and the wet nurse had already knelt down.
"I am guilty. This child has no idea what he is saying. Please punish me, Queen." The wet nurse was scared to death. Who on earth told Hongzhao these words? Although the emperor gave the deposed prince the title, the order of confinement was not abolished. Now, only she and Hongzhao can move freely in Prince Li's mansion.
"What else did brother Hongzhao say?" Yihuan was silent for a moment and continued to ask Xiaolang.
"He said a lot of bad things about the Emperor. Little Wolf didn't let him, but he kept talking. That's why Little Wolf beat him." Little Wolf waved his arms, indicating that violence was the way to solve the problem.
"Big brother is bad, big brother hits little wolf." Little wolf began to change the target, he stretched out his red palm, "Mom, shush."
"Okay." Yihuan blew him twice. The little wolf felt itchy and laughed.
"Honghui, take the two kids downstairs, wash their faces and eat something." Yihuan said with a smile.
As the children left, the nanny began to tremble even more violently.
