Before Yinzhi and Yinsi could go and "interrogate" their brothers, they received the imperial edict of Kangxi rewarding them according to their merits.

Yinreng and others were rewarded to varying degrees, and in order to compensate Yinzhi for the suffering he had endured, Kangxi directly conferred on him the title of Beile.

Ah, this...

Now, Yinzhi became the object of everyone's cautious emotional investigation.

He was several years older than Yinzhi, and was still a bald prince, but Yinzhi had conferred him a title first.

People in the court had different attitudes towards this matter.

Those who had followed the Third Prince early in the morning were ecstatic, thinking they had found the right person. Even though the Third Prince looked like he wouldn't live long, wasn't he still alive?

The Third Prince had been in good health before, and with the Emperor's favor, it was only a matter of time before he recovered.

Some of them claimed that they saw the status of the Third Prince in the emperor's mind and wanted to surrender to him.

However, when the third prince was conferred the title, the emperor also issued another decree, allowing him to recuperate at home for half a year.

This also led to the fact that even if they wanted to surrender, they could not find a way to do so for the time being.

No one dared to go against the emperor's wishes at this time and disturb the Third Prince while he was recuperating.

However, these people are all low-level officials who want to "invest" in the prince at the beginning of his rise to power. If they get what they want in the future, the benefits they will get will be immeasurable.

However, most of the old foxes can see further than them. To them, the Third Prince's physique is not as good as that of other princes. This is a hidden danger. If the Third Prince does not live to see the end of his life, then it will be in vain to place a bet earlier.

So we still have to wait and see for a while.

At first, Yinzhi was able to keep his composure. After all, the third brother's title was earned with his life. But as time went on, the overt and covert gazes of the court officials became unbearable for him.

So after a few days, he returned to the camp outside Beijing.

Apart from several princes, Longkodo became the biggest winner of this southern tour.

Kangxi promoted him to the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, and concurrently appointed him Minister of the Imperial Guard. In addition, he also rewarded him with a four-story official residence and three thousand taels of gold.

Longkodo originally wanted to return to Kangxi's personal guard camp, but was persuaded by Kangxi with just one word.

When he first left the Royal Guard Camp, he had some unpleasant experiences with his colleagues. Even though they were afraid of the power of the Tong family, his life would not be much easier if he went back in.

Longkodo could ignore his colleagues, but he could not ignore Kangxi's attitude. Kangxi clearly did not want to ask him to return to serve in the imperial court, so Longkodo did not dare to make any further demands.

So in the end he chose the position of Minister of Works.

But what he didn't know was that he was no longer the cousin that Kangxi held in his heart. Kangxi was willing to reward him because of his outstanding contribution this time.

Once this bargaining attitude came out, Kangxi had even less favor towards him.

When Longkodo was reluctant but had to go to work, he found that the Ministry of Works had been firmly controlled by the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince.

Longkodo: “…”

He said he didn't want to come, but the Emperor forced him to come. How exactly is his current situation any better than being in the Imperial Guard?!

In mid-June, Kangxi ordered officials from the Hanlin Academy, the Zhanshi Palace, and the Imperial College to take turns to be on duty in the Southern Study. At the same time, the list of gifts submitted by the Minister of Rites was finally accepted by Kangxi.

This move also cooled the mood in the court, making them realize that the prince still held a place in Kangxi's heart.

In early July, the third wife, Dong E, gave birth to a son, who was Kangxi's first legitimate grandson. Kangxi also participated in his third-day baptism ceremony out of respect.

Yinreng and others also took this opportunity to check on Yinzhi's condition.

Well, after more than a month of recuperation, Yinzhi's condition was not much different from when he first came back.

It seems that the root has been damaged.

Yinreng felt a little complicated.

In his previous life, until his death, Yinzhi was in much better condition than he is now.

Kangxi really did all kinds of bad things, and he even harmed his own son.

As one of the only two princes who knew the truth, Yinreng was still able to control his expression, but Yinzhen's ability to cultivate his energy was not so good, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

After Yinreng observed this, his brows furrowed instantly.

After the third day bath, Yinreng pulled Yinzhen into his carriage.

What the two of them didn't know was that all of this was seen by the eighth prince Yinsi.

Watching the carriage drive away, Yinsi stood at the door, muttering to himself.

Fourth brother's expression was wrong. Even if he was worried about third brother's health, he shouldn't have such a look of pity and hesitation.

Is there any hidden secret behind the disappearance of my third brother?

"Myna, what are you standing there for? Go back to the palace!"

Yinzhen was getting a little impatient waiting in the car.

He was "coerced and bribed" by the starling to take on many jobs that were not suitable for his age, and he is still busy.

The culprit is not in a hurry at all!

“Here it comes!”

Since the coachman, personal eunuchs and guards were all Kangxi's men, Yinreng did not rush to speak after bringing them into the car.

When the carriage started to move, Yinreng drove the young eunuch out of the carriage.

"Two days ago, I read the report submitted by the port manager. The port will be completed in two months. When that time comes, you should go to the Lifanyuan and discuss it with Yinsi. Together, you can submit a memorial to the emperor and ask him how he will collect customs duties..."

"Um…"

Yinzhen nodded, his aura was gloomy, as if he had no interest in anything.

Yinreng listened to the noise outside, moved closer to Yinzhen, and warned in a low voice,

"You'd better give up the idea of ​​revealing the truth to the Third Brother!"

Only then did Yinzhen lift his slightly drooping eyelids and look at Yinreng.

"Third brother has the right to know the truth!"

His voice was also not loud. Yinreng felt relieved and then sneered.

"You're a bystander, so of course you can say such things without any scruples. But what about the third brother? Let's not even talk about whether he can recover. Even if he can, it will take several years, or even longer. Do you really think he's willing to do that?"

"Once you tell him the truth, even if he doesn't believe it, it will plant the seeds of doubt in his heart. Those seeds will torment him day and night. Do you want him to die?!"

Yinzhen's pupils shrank instantly and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

He really didn't think that much.

Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Keep this secret to yourself. Even if the Third Brother finds out later, we can't let anyone know. Do you understand?"

Yinzhen clenched the folding fan in his hand, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"I see……"

"But second brother, don't you feel sorry for third brother? He's clearly the culprit for his current state, yet third brother is so grateful to him..."

Yinreng's lips also added some sarcasm,

"At least he's willing to make amends..."

Unlike him, who lost his life in his previous life, Kangxi is still on guard against him in this life just like in his previous life.
