Chapter 19: Yongzheng is Injured

  An assassin suddenly rushed towards Kangxi like a madman, ignoring the many wounds left on his body by Ah Ge. Lin Ruhai stepped forward with his sword, but was entangled by two assassins who appeared from the side. The assassins' intention was clear: they wanted to kill Ruhai. Meanwhile, the assassin rushing towards Kangxi got closer and closer. Yinzhen saw that things were not going well, drew his sword, and clashed with the assassin, but it was clear that he was no match for him, and his sword was knocked out of his hand. Yinzhen was shocked and quickly retreated, but in doing so, he exposed Kangxi to the assassin's attack. Kangxi's face turned pale as he saw his own son behave like this. Yinzhen retreated to the side, still shaken, and only then realized what he had done - exposing Kangxi to the assassin. His pale face turned even more awkward, and he silently cursed himself for doing such a thing.

  Yin Zhen's sword, standing on the other side of Kangxi, immediately followed up and blocked the assassin's blade. One sword pierced the assassin's right hand, causing him to drop his sword in pain. The assassin was immediately killed by the pursuing guards. Before dying, he looked at Yin Zhen with regret, thinking that he should have succeeded.

  With this sudden event, some of the guards clearly retreated and surrounded Kangxi, while the princes around Kangxi all drew their swords in a strict array. Some embarrassed Yinreng also didn't dare to return to Kangxi's side at this time, so he stayed on the periphery, picked up his sword to kill the enemy, wanting to regain some of the lost face, and looked at Yinzhen with an even less friendly gaze, this fourth elder brother couldn't stay, taking advantage of his own embarrassment, won the love of the Emperor.

  Yin Zhen naturally also felt the venomous gaze of Yin Rong, and he slightly hesitated. He hadn't done anything to offend heaven or earth, nor did he have any intention of competing with the Crown Prince for now. However, it was clear that the Crown Prince's hostility towards him was growing by the day, so he needed to be more careful.

  Lin Ruhai had returned to Kangxi's side, looked around at the situation, furrowed his brow. These people should be the Heaven and Earth Society. They have always wanted their lives, but this time they directly rushed over to assassinate Kangxi. What were they thinking? Did they want to seek their own destruction?

  Before Lin Ruhai could think of anything, the guards and the prince's army had already subdued all the assassins. "Take off their chin straps to prevent them from poisoning themselves!" Lin Ruhai shouted loudly, but because he was thinking about things, his shout came a bit late. The captured assassins' mouths were already flowing with black blood, clearly they were dead.

  "Damn it!" Lin Ruhai cursed loudly.

  "Someone come and clean up this place." Kangxi's expression didn't change much. "Lin Ai Qing, I have something to ask you."

  Lin Ruhai nodded and walked with Kangxi towards the house. At this moment, a cold light rushed straight at Kangxi's back, Lin Ruhai raised his sword to intercept, but it was clearly too late.

  "Be careful, Your Majesty." "Father!" The scene suddenly lost control, but the one who fell was not Kangxi. Yongzheng's face turned pale and he fell to the ground. "F...a...ther, you're okay..."

  "Fourth!" Kangxi hastily hugged Yongzheng, his heart aching with pain. Yongzheng was not by his side, but had rushed to his side at the first moment, this filial piety and protection for himself was clearly more than that of his other sons. Kangxi did not notice the reactions of his other sons, Yinre's eyes flashed with malice, good, let the emperor take the hit and die instead. Yinti's eyes were uncertain, he had also wanted to rush up just now, unfortunately, he was a step too late.

  Lin Ruhai remained calm, but upon seeing the black blood at the wound, his face changed greatly. He immediately moved to seal off Yongzheng's acupoints, "Your Majesty, the hidden weapon is poisoned."

  "Someone, pass on the order to Li Yizheng." Kangxi's face also changed greatly, and with Lin Ruhai's help, he carried Yongzheng into the room, followed by a very nervous Yongxiang. "Fourth brother, you absolutely cannot have anything happen to you."

  Li Yi rushed over after a stick of incense, his face pale after finishing the pulse diagnosis. "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has been poisoned with the same toxin as He Lin." Li Yi was in a dilemma, having said he wouldn't mention Zai Yu's ability to detoxify, but what could be done about the Fourth Prince's condition? If the Fourth Prince died from poisoning, Li Yi didn't dare think about it.

  After listening to Li Yi Zheng's words, Kang Xi's face turned pale. Is his own son going to die? No, if Hai is fine, then Yongzheng will definitely be fine too. "Lin Ai Qing, can you find that expert who can give you the antidote?"

  Lin Ruhai was also entangled in his heart at this time, what to do? Say Daiyu's things? But...

  At the moment when Lin Ruhai was entangled, a clear and cold voice sounded, "Ama, I'm here to detoxify the Fourth Prince." Daiyu walked over slowly with Lin Fang's accompaniment. It turned out that someone had been monitoring everything that happened in front of them all along. When Daiyu heard that Yongzheng had blocked the hidden weapon for the sake of the bed mat, she had a premonition in her heart that it might be the same as the poison in Lin Ruhai's body. However, at that time, Lin Ruhai was suffering from chronic poisoning, while Yongzheng might have been poisoned acutely. Upon hearing Li Yizheng's words, Daiyu knew that her conjecture was correct and walked in with Lin Fang.

  "Yu'er..." Lin Ruhai wanted to speak but hesitated.

  "Your Majesty, Daiyu has received guidance from a superior and can interpret this poison." Daiyu gazed straight into Kangxi's eyes.

  Emperor Kangxi looked at Daiyu, then glanced at Li Yiren, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Li is not aware of this matter. The master is a transcendent being who dislikes outsiders knowing about it and also requires Daiyu to not use his name to do things. However, now that the Fourth Prince has been poisoned with the same poison as Ah Ma, naturally Daiyu should help the Fourth Prince detoxify. Who knows, later when the hidden weapon is pulled out, we can investigate who assassinated Your Majesty and gave Ah Ma the poison." Daiyu looked at Emperor Kangxi without any panic.

  Kangxi stared at Daiyu, unsure what he was thinking. In fact, Kangxi's heart was turbulent, as there used to be a poisonous doctor with sacred hands in the Jianghu, and he wanted to capture him again. However, that person refused to surrender to the Qing court and fled far away. Now, he had reappeared? A hint of murderous intent flashed across Kangxi's eyes.

  Daiyu was stunned by Kangxi's murderous aura, and she didn't seem to have said anything wrong. Where did this murderous aura come from? However, the future Yongzheng Emperor was indeed on his last breath, so she should hurry up and save him. "Your Majesty, the fourth prince's injury needs to be treated immediately." Daiyu reminded aloud.

  "Alright, you take action. I'll watch."

  Daiyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "What, Your Majesty is afraid that I'll plot to kill the Fourth Prince?" Shi Zhen was particular about being calm and composed. If he were stared at by Kangxi for a long time, who knows what kind of problem might arise? His gaze was so piercing. Daiyu coldly looked at Kangxi, her whole body emitting a chill. She had tried her best to save someone unrelated to her, yet she was still suspected, humph!

  Kangxi frowned, "I'll wait outside." After finishing speaking, Kangxi took Lin Ruhai and the Crown Prince's army away. Lin Ruhai turned back to give Daiyu a concerned glance.
