Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...
Yinreng was not worried that Kangxi would go crazy because of his infertility. At least at this stage, he would just cover his mouth.
Kangxi was a very complicated person. Most of his love was a "performance", and only 30% of it was true love.
But if he really felt "guilty" in his heart, his true feelings would immediately soar to more than 90%.
The remaining 10% is the "royal face" that he clings to.
If you love someone, you want him to live; if you hate someone, you want him to die.
On this point, Yinreng understood Kangxi very thoroughly.
After that day, no news came out from inside or outside the palace, as if the incident had never happened.
But Yinreng knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
All the imperial doctors who checked his pulse were replaced, and the small kitchen in Yuqing Palace was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine all day long.
Once, when Guwalgiya was having a good time, Yinreng stayed in the study as usual.
But not long after he lay down, a thinly dressed lady walked into the room.
When Yinreng lay down, he still felt inexplicably hot, but after seeing the princess, he only felt nauseous.
He pushed the woman away, rushed out of the room, and lay down on the porch to vomit.
He vomited out everything in his stomach.
Looking at the palace maids who gathered around him with concern for him, Yinreng felt a chill in his heart.
That night, all the eunuchs and palace maids in Yuqing Palace who were in cahoots with that princess were sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
Kangxi had been waiting for news in the Qianqing Palace. When he heard that Yinreng ran out and vomited as soon as the princess entered, his heart finally gave up.
It turns out that what Yinreng said about him not being able to be with other women was also true.
Then what was the point of all the trouble he had taken to pave the way for Yinreng?
Kangxi sat staring at the portrait of Hesheli all night.
Before attending the morning court the next day, Kangxi received news that Yinreng had a high fever and wanted to take leave, which caused him to be absent-minded throughout the morning court.
After the morning court session, Kangxi went to Yuqing Palace to see Yinreng first.
After learning that Yinreng's symptoms seemed to be caused by some kind of stimulation or excessive fright leading to a high fever, Kangxi's pupils shrank.
The regret in my heart surged out like a tide.
How could he have forgotten... In his previous life, Yinreng was also drugged, which was why he was charged with the crime that took his life...
Kangxi stayed by Yinreng's bed for an hour, and seeing that he showed no sign of waking up, he returned to the Qianqing Palace full of worry.
Kangxi rarely felt that he had done anything wrong, but at this moment, he really felt that he was extremely wrong.
Before today, he was still wondering whether Yinreng was still his son, but when he saw him lying lifeless on the bed, all those worries seemed unimportant.
Fortunately, Yinreng only lay in bed for two days before he woke up.
From that day on, the small kitchen in Yuqing Palace was no longer filled with the smell of medicine all day long.
At the end of August, Kangxi decided to go on the Mulan Autumn Hunt.
The eldest prince, the crown prince and the third prince were not among the entourage.
The remaining princes, from the fourth to the fourteenth, must participate in the autumn hunt.
At Kangxi's command, everyone inside and outside the palace began to get busy.
On the second day of September, the autumn hunting team marched out of the capital.
Yinreng was still a little uncomfortable without the noisy boy Laojiu.
So he often went to the construction site to look for Yinzhi.
Sometimes, on a whim, I would have a hotpot meal in a restaurant in the outer city to experience the hustle and bustle of the city.
Seeing that the third brother no longer had the previous depression between his brows, Yinreng was actually quite relieved.
On this day, Yinzhi returned home from the camp outside the capital. After staying there for a day, he couldn't help but run to the palace to find Yinreng.
If he were in the military camp, he could still find someone to practice with for entertainment, but at home, he could do nothing but train Hongyu.
It's really boring.
Coincidentally, Yinreng was not in the palace at that time, so Yinzhi came back empty-handed. After asking Yinreng where he was, Yinzhi ran to the outskirts of the city without stopping.
It was noon at the Little Sheep BBQ Restaurant in the outer city. In fact, it was not even lunchtime yet, but the restaurant was already bustling with people.
Those who come here to eat are all wealthy businessmen and playboys. They have free time all day long and don't care whether it is meal time or not.
This was Yinzhi's first time visiting this place.
He ran to the outskirts of the city but found nothing. He found out that the two men had come to the outer city to eat after asking the head of the Ministry of Works.
So he resigned himself to his fate and ran to the outer city, where he found the store that the boss had mentioned.
Although it was his first time here, after he entered, the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter saw his face clearly and immediately became respectful.
He went forward and pushed away the waiter who was receiving Yinzhi.
"I greet the prince!"
Yinzhi glanced at him strangely.
"Do you know me?"
The shopkeeper replied respectfully,
"This shop belongs to Master Jiu. He showed me the portraits of several masters!"
Not everyone is qualified to see the prince's portrait, and the smile on the shopkeeper's face became more genuine.
Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and didn't care that the ninth brother showed his portrait to others without permission.
"Which box are the Second and Third Masters in? I want to go find them."
"Your Majesty, please follow me..."
The shopkeeper led the way in front, and Yinzhi followed him to the third floor.
The lobby on the first floor is where ordinary people spend their money, the second floor is where wealthy businessmen and foreigners spend their money, and the third floor is where dignitaries entertain.
Yinzhi walked and looked at the decoration style of the place, feeling a bit of admiration in his heart.
This guy Lao Jiu really has some business skills...
Halfway through the walk, Yinzhi suddenly heard a familiar voice——
"fart!"
"It was the Emperor who released the Third Prince as bait. What does this have to do with me?! Why should I be blamed for the Third Prince being hunted down?!"
The people inside were obviously drunk and their tempers were flaring up.
"He didn't even take me with him on the expedition two years ago, and this time during the autumn hunt, I went to beg him... and he still didn't take me! Why?!"
"My Third Master, please keep your voice down. Be careful, the walls have ears!"
"What's wrong with having ears? I just want them to judge whether I should be blamed for this matter..."
"Third Master... Third Master! Drink, drink more!"
Yinzhi stopped and listened for a long time, and his originally good mood was covered with an indelible haze.
The shopkeeper walked a long way, turned around and saw Yinzhi still standing there, and turned back again in surprise.
"Your Majesty?"
Yinzhi came back to his senses from his thoughts and ordered expressionlessly,
"Let's go."
"yes."
The shopkeeper walked forward while cautiously looking at his face, not understanding why the Prince of Zhi, who was so enthusiastic just now, suddenly changed his attitude.
