After all, even if you spend all day playing sparrow, you'll get pecked in the eye by a sparrow sometimes. Look at Yinreng, how lost and dejected he looked just a moment ago in the imperial tent? And now, just moments after leaving the tent, there's no trace of loss or sadness on his face anymore. Look at him now, in such a good mood, with a smile in his eyes.
Since Yinzuo said that he would take good care of Yinreng, he would naturally not go back on his word. Now that he could no longer stay with his father, he simply took Yinreng back to his own tent. As Kangxi's favorite, Yinzuo's tent was not much smaller than Yinreng's prince's tent, and it was fully equipped with various furnishings, which was more than enough for the two brothers to rest.
"Dexi, go get some water now. He Zhong, take your prince to the back to clean up. Wear my clothes first. I guess you can't get into your tent now. Second brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Khan Ama hit you with a cup and you just knelt there and let him hit you. Why don't you run? He's so old, can he still run faster than you? Look at this dignified prince with tea leaves on his head. Does he look decent? You're still laughing? Second brother, can you be more careful? Our position as prince is about to be lost. How can you still laugh?"
Yinzuo was furious, but Yinreng looked very calm. He raised his hand to touch his forehead to remove the tea leaves on his head, then pointed to the teacup on the table, indicating He Zhong to pour him tea.
"Why can't I laugh? Anyway, I'm pretty happy right now. Look, I'm about to be crippled, but my brothers, far from kicking me when I'm down or gloating over my misfortune, are all pleading for me. Xiaoliu, do you think I've been pretty popular over the years?"
It's more than just okay. Your popularity is beyond my expectation. But why does this feel so wrong? Brother, aren't you a little too calm?
Even though Yinzuo was completely confused, Yinreng obviously had no intention of answering his questions. After Dexi prepared the water, he took He Zhong to the back to clean himself up. When he came out after cleaning up, Yinzuo had already met Zhou Gong in his dream.
"Falling asleep already? And you still dare to swear to Khan Ama that your two eyes will take turns standing guard over me? Dexi, get two men to come and carry your master to bed. He'll definitely get a stiff neck if he sleeps on a chair like this all night. Be careful with his injured foot and don't wake him up."
Why not say that Yinzuo is a big-hearted person? Such a big thing happened last night, and everyone almost didn't sleep all night. Only Yinzuo was so heartless that he slept until dawn, and even slept until he was hungry. Of course, Yinreng also had a good rest yesterday, but he didn't sleep until noon like Yinzuo.
"Brother, after dinner, will you stay with me or come with me to visit Ama? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you and Ama can just act out a show, but at least you should have informed me in advance. Now look, all of you are unharmed, and I'm the only one in a wheelchair..."
Yinreng was not surprised at all that Yinzo could guess that he and Khan Ama had acted together last night. Firstly, his younger brother had always been smart and quick-witted. Secondly, neither he nor Kangxi had ever thought of hiding it from Yinzo, otherwise Yinreng would not have deliberately revealed the flaw last night to let Yinzo realize that something was wrong.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here with you. After all, I'm now a crown prince who's about to be deposed. It's good enough that I'm not locked up and guarded. How can I have the nerve to hang around in front of Khan Ama? Okay, eat quickly, Khan Ama is probably still waiting for you to come over."
Well, seeing Yinreng like this, what else did Yinzo not understand? He could only say that his father Khan and his second brother were truly worthy of being the emperor and the crown prince. Look at how they had left nothing out. I'm afraid that when he asked to take his second brother away yesterday, it was already part of their plan.
Come to think of it, since this was just a play, his father must have been reluctant to imprison his second brother and escort him back to Beijing as history had shown. Then wouldn't this unfortunate guy, who was fearless and valued brotherhood, be the perfect choice for the jailer? So what he just said was indeed true; he was the only victim from beginning to end...
Now that everything was clearly thought out and understood, Yinzuo simply stopped dwelling on it. After all, acting had its advantages. At least his father wouldn't piss him off like he had in history, right? What was Yinzuo worried about most right now? He could only say that he was worried for his brothers who were unaware of the situation. After all, this was the final exam, and if they didn't answer the questions correctly, they could be killed.
"Okay, then you can just stay here with me. If you need anything, make a list for Dexi. I'll have someone take He Zhong back to your tent to get it. You can use the things I have here, too. If you need anything, just ask Khan Ama directly."
Yinreng was right. Kangxi was indeed waiting for Yinzuo to come. Yesterday, Kangxi was in chaos in the imperial tent and had no time to take a closer look at the wound on Yinzuo's foot. So early this morning, he specially asked someone to invite Doctor Wang to come over, waiting for Yinzuo to come and change the dressing for him.
Doctor Wang's medical skills were naturally beyond doubt. Since he said that the wound on Yinzuo's foot was not serious, he must be right. Kangxi did not mind Yinzuo's dirty feet at this time. He came closer and looked at it for a long time. After confirming that the wound was not deep, he felt relieved. He ordered Doctor Wang to change the medicine and bandage Yinzuo's foot, sent everyone out, and sent Liang Jiugong to guard the door. Then he turned around and sat back next to Yinzuo.
"Yinzuo, do you have any questions for me?"
Last night, Yinzuo specifically said that he had a stomach problem and wanted his father to answer his questions, but now that he has guessed what was going on, it is not so important whether to ask or not, so Yinzuo decisively chose to shake his head.
Kangxi knew very well what kind of person his son was. He had prepared himself to get to the bottom of the matter today, but Yinzuo's shaking of his head immediately made Kangxi lose control. He stood up and walked to Yinzuo, looking at him left and right for a long time. After making sure that this son was still the same son, he turned around and sat back in his previous seat.
"Humph, you're quite good at pretending, you little brat. I was wondering why you looked so calm yesterday? So you must have guessed it then. How's your second brother doing now? Is he getting used to living with you?"
Look at what you're saying. What's the matter? If he's not used to living here, can't you just move him somewhere else? You're saying I'm quite good at pretending, but can I compare to you? Your acting yesterday was at least at the level of an award-winning actor.
