Chapter 415 Father, is your son really that annoying?
Yinzhuo was always a key person under Liang Jiugong's watch list, marked with an asterisk. Even if Kangxi didn't ask him, he would send people to keep an eye on Yinzhuo's movements every day in case of emergency. Look, he was caught on a spot check.
“Your Majesty is right. The Prince has not been to the Qianqing Palace for more than half a month. This servant heard that the Prince has been staying at the Zhiqin Prince’s residence these days. I suppose the two of you have a lot to talk about after not seeing each other for so long?”
No, I mean, how much could they possibly talk about for over half a month? While Kangxi was complaining and venting because he missed his son, Yinqi was also teetering on the brink of collapse. You ask what he was collapsing about? Heh, let me tell you, have you ever seen a good person not break down when someone's been stuck with them like a leech...?
"Father, I beg you, please issue an imperial decree to take Xiao Liu away from me. I'm not a storyteller from Jiyaxuan. Even if I love to boast, I've been telling stories for more than half a month and I've long since run out of ideas. Look at my dark circles. I haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days."
Faced with his son's plea for help, Kangxi's upturned lips were harder to suppress than an AK. He immediately agreed and then ordered Liang Jiugong to personally lead men to Yinti's residence to bring Yinzuo back.
Yinzhu never expected that he would be disliked by others. He heard that it was his elder brother who complained to his father that led to him being brought back. Our Prince Zhao's heart was truly broken like dumpling filling.
“Father, is our son really that annoying? I don’t remember doing anything wrong, right? How could my older brother be so fed up that he came to you to complain…”
Well, it seems he's been dealt a heavy blow. Our Prince Zhao has never been so disliked before, even though he's always been universally loved and admired. Kangxi looked at his son, who was hanging his head and hugging his arm, questioning his existence. He couldn't have felt any pain in his heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your older brother has always doted on you since you were little, so how could he really dislike you? But let's be honest, what you did this time was a bit too much. There are four sheep, aren't there? Why do you keep targeting your older brother? If he gets fed up, he'll kick you out. Alright, it's not a big deal. It's okay if your older brother doesn't want you to stay. You can stay with your father. If you don't want to leave, your father will never kick you out."
Yes, you won't kick me out, but the problem is I don't want to spend my time in prison in the Qianqing Palace. However, Yinzhuo still deeply agrees with what Kangxi said earlier. Right, doesn't he have four sheep now? It doesn't matter if he fleeces one too much, he can just switch to another one.
Yinti could still suppress Yinzuo, who was like a leech, to some extent thanks to his innate bloodline. However, Yinxi, the thirteenth, and the fourteenth were in a much worse situation. They were powerless against Yinzuo. Fortunately, they all knew their own limitations. Since they were destined to lose, they decided to stick together for warmth. They refused to believe that the three of them could be wiped out.
Even the most exciting stories eventually become tiresome. After listening to his four sheep recount events in Japan for a month, Yinzhuo completely lost interest in the country. Coincidentally, the weather was getting warmer, and Kangxi, wanting his sons to have a few days of peace, simply packed up Yinzhuo, this troublemaker, and brought him to Changchun Garden. Of course, the unfortunate Yinreng was also packed up with him.
Perhaps it was due to the changing seasons between spring and summer, but as soon as he arrived at Changchun Garden, Kangxi, who was usually in good health, suddenly fell ill. The saying "illness strikes like a landslide" is absolutely true. In any case, Yinzhuo had never seen his father in such a weak and frail state before.
“Father, you were perfectly fine when your son went home last night. How did you become so ill after just one night? Doctor Wang, have you taken my pulse? What's wrong with you?”
Physician Wang had come to Qingxi Study last night and had naturally already taken Kangxi's pulse. Upon hearing Yinzhuo's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"Your Highness, this old minister has already taken His Majesty's pulse. Judging from the pulse, it is caused by the invasion of wind-heat evil, leading to disharmony of lung qi. Once one contracts this disease, one will experience symptoms like His Majesty's, such as headache and severe fever. Later, symptoms such as sore throat, nasal congestion, and yellow nasal discharge may also appear..."
Yinzhi naturally trusted the medical skills of Imperial Physician Wang. Upon hearing this, he called the physician aside and asked him a few questions in a low voice before sending him outside to rest. Kangxi's illness came on suddenly and fiercely, with a high fever that lasted for several days without improvement. Yinzhi had been by his side without taking off his clothes for the past few days, feeding him medicine and meals without asking anyone else to do it. Only when Kangxi's fever subsided did Yinzhi's heart finally relax a little.
"Father, you're finally awake! I was so scared these past few days! Do you know how many days you've been unconscious? If you hadn't woken up, I was thinking of going to a temple to pray. Oh, right, my eldest and second brothers are resting in the outer room right now. I need to go tell them and ask Physician Wang to come and take another look at you..."
Yinqi and Yinreng were sitting in the outer room of Kangxi's bedroom at this time. Yinzuo was so emotional and his voice was so loud, how could they not hear him? As soon as Yinzuo pushed open the door, he saw a large group of people standing at the door.
"Little Six, has Father woken up? How is he doing now?"
"Yes, Sixth Brother, how is things on Father's side? Has he said we could go in?"
Yinzhu was surrounded by a group of people asking him a barrage of questions for a long time. Apart from feeling his head throbbing from the noise, he didn't hear a single constructive question. No, let's talk about how the Emperor is doing. What's the use of asking me? If you want to know, go and invite the imperial physician over.
It is said that illness comes like a landslide and goes like a slow, drawn-out process. Although Kangxi's fever has subsided, his other symptoms have not improved at all. Before, when he was delirious with fever, it was understandable that his sons stayed by his side. Now that he has woken up, he naturally cannot let Yinti and the others put down their duties and fawn over him. After all, his family truly holds the throne.
"Alright, all of you, stop crowding around me. Apart from Yinreng and Yinzuo, everyone else should go about their business. I've been ill these past few days, so I'll leave all the affairs of the court to the Crown Prince. Everyone else should just do their best to assist the Crown Prince."
Since Kangxi had said so, Yinti and the others could only follow his orders. They exchanged glances, bowed to Kangxi who was half-lying on the bed, and then left the room.
