Chapter 2

“Ah~”

The little kid waved his short arms and said, "Stop staring at him. He is not the jewel that has been stolen. If you keep staring at him like that, he will be melted."

Imperial Physician Liu said happily to Concubine De: "The young prince's pulse has improved a lot."

Doctor Wang also claimed: "The fever has subsided."

Doctor Han said, "I will give the young prince another acupuncture treatment."

The needle was shining brightly and was very long. The little kid's eyes widened, "No, poof..."

Lin Ran's little hand was grabbed by someone, and her little body was moved to someone's waist and abdomen and fixed. "Yinzuo, be good."

"Be good, Yinzuo. I'll give you some sweet water to drink and let you play with the little tiger."

My eyes were gently covered by a warm hand, and before I could panic, sweet porridge entered my mouth.

The bitter taste that had always lingered on my lips was finally diluted, and the coaxing voice in my ears was so gentle that it made me let down my guard completely, as if I were in a comfortable hot spring.

After Lin Ran swallowed a mouthful of sweet porridge, he licked his lips. His long eyelashes flickered across the woman's soft palm, and his black eyeballs under her palm lit up. Sweet!

As for what he wanted to say just now, Lin Ran, with an empty mind, forgot it in the blink of an eye.

"Ah~" Lin Ran opened her mouth, and her mouth felt bitter and sweet.

However, the action of the little baby tilting his head and opening his mouth like a bird begging for food softened Depin's eyes and she felt relieved. Asking for food was a good thing.

Well, although Lin Ran was very cute as she opened her mouth and drank sweet porridge, there were needles sticking out of her head, hands, and feet, which were dangling around, which was weird, scary, and distressing.

.

The man sitting behind the imperial desk was very prestigious. He was not wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, but only a royal blue robe that a rich young man would also wear. There was no stern look on his face, but the important official who was given a seat below him did not dare to relax at all. His attitude of respect was not just on the surface, but came from the inside out.

This person is no longer the naive young emperor.

The emperor sitting behind the imperial desk looks to be around 25 years old, but a closer look reveals that his aura of majesty without even being angry and as awe-inspiring as the vast abyss is inconsistent with his age. But then again, even an old official with gray hair cannot produce that kind of confidence and nobility, which is a kind of majesty that only a ruler who holds real power possesses.

This emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight and took power at the age of fourteen. He is now a mature emperor with more than ten years of ruling experience. During these years of ruling, this young emperor who ascended the throne has established his own prestige time and time again.

After the minister left, Emperor Kangxi pinched his brows, feeling a little tired. The eunuch Liang Jiugong, who was serving beside Emperor Kangxi, changed a cup of tea for Kangxi and said softly, "Someone from Concubine De said that the Sixth Prince has woken up."

Kangxi paused as he pinched his forehead: "Is the danger over?"

Liang Jiugong: "The doctor said that the fever will probably come back at night, so I have to endure it for the next two days."

The tiredness on the young emperor's face deepened.

Liang Jiugong consoled him, "It's a good thing that you woke up. You survived the dangerous last night. You must be blessed by fate."

Kangxi stood up and said, "Let's go and see Yinzuo."

Although Yinzuo is the sixth prince in terms of seniority, he is only the sixth among the princes who are still alive. There are eight princes who have died early and three princesses who have passed away.

Kangxi had experienced the pain of losing his sons too many times. After going through it so many times, if it happened again, he would of course still feel sad, but the pain would inevitably be mixed with numbness.

When Emperor Kangxi arrived, the silver needles on Lin Ranman's head and wrists had just been pulled out, and he had just struggled out of Depin's arms - it was not his own ability, but Depin who put him back on the bed.

Because he didn't see the long silver needle, Lin Ran had completely forgotten about it. However, he still remembered the sweet porridge he had just drunk. The little kid with a degenerated brain was chasing the bowl, "Sweet, I want it."

Lin Ran actually had many questions in her mind - the sound of milk coming out of his mouth was so strange and unfamiliar. And why did he sound like he was leaking air when he spoke?

"Sweet, no." Don't run away, I want more!

It's difficult to speak.

Lin Ran always felt that she was better than she is now.

But at this moment, he did not think too deeply about these little question marks, nor did he let them resonate in his mind. Instead, he followed his instinct and chased after the bowl of sweet porridge.

Just now, just now, when Depin had his eyes covered, he was not only pricked with an injection, but was also tricked into being fed bitter medicine.

The long needle could be covered by the eyes to prevent the little prince from seeing it, but the bitter medicine could not be deceived even if the eyes were covered. It was very bitter, so bitter that Lin Ran could not help but shed several tears and almost burst into tears, but he held back!

And even those tears were not what he wanted to fall, they just came out of his eyes on their own.

After feeding him several mouthfuls of bitter medicine, he was fed a few mouthfuls of sweet porridge. The sweet taste was definitely not as much as the bitter one!

That's why Lin Ran is now staring at the bowl that is about to run away, pointing with one hand, grabbing one of Depin's fingers with the other hand, and humming for sweetness.

Although his brain had degenerated a lot, the little kid was still able to judge who loved him and who could be the head of the family.

Kangxi came in at this time. When he heard the sound of the baby's gurgling, the tiredness on the emperor's face faded a little, and his aura became a little softer.

"What are you talking about?"

As Emperor Kangxi entered, the imperial physician, servants and Concubine De in the room saluted him one after another. Amidst all the noise, Lin Ran finally shifted her gaze from the bowl of porridge to the man who came in.

Lin Ran, who had an empty head, didn't think of any imperial aura at this moment, but she also felt that this man was a little bit unusual. Everyone was talking to him and greeting him. As soon as he arrived, he became the center of attention in the room and looked very powerful.

"Ah, sweet!" However, this powerful-looking man did not hold Lin Ran's attention for long. For a man whose physiological structure had become that of a little baby, the thing in his mouth was more attractive.

Depin smiled at Lin Ran who was reaching for the bowl again and said, "Yinzuo just drank the medicine and now wants to drink something sweet. He wants porridge."

Kangxi also sat down beside the bed at this time. The little baby lying on the bed seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was not good at all. However, the pair of black eyes that were staring at the bowl added a lot of liveliness and vitality to the face, and he finally looked less like a sickly and distressing little baby.

Xiao Cui, who was holding the bowl of porridge, was also under a lot of pressure. When she stood up, she turned sideways and held the bowl of porridge to her side, blocking the little prince's sight.

Lin Ran blinked his moist eyes, raised his hand and put it in his mouth, touching his bare gums with one finger. He paused, huh? Bald...

Hmm, the fingers are not sweet.

However, although Lin Ran's mind was much emptier, many of his previous experiences were like a dream that was shrouded by a veil, as if he had been washed like a newborn baby. His brain became less smart due to the physical limitations of a child, but he did not become completely stupid.

The bowl from before is still there.

Lin Ran drooped her eyelashes and rubbed her fingers with her tiny teeth in disappointment.

The child sucked his fingers, looking pitiful and lost, which made people feel soft-hearted. Kangxi, who was sitting next to Lin Ran, laughed for a moment. He reached out and pinched the child's wrist, pulling the child's hand out of his mouth.

The child's wrist was so thin and soft that Kangxi didn't dare to use force.

Lin Ran's fingers were pulled out, and she turned her head towards Kangxi. Her dark eyes also moved, and she looked at the man persistently and said, "Sweet!"

Lin Ran felt that this man was more capable of taking charge and managing the household, and seemed quite capable, so she was determined to give it another try on this man.

The child's eyes are moist and clear like lake water, reflecting your figure. Moreover, the child is sick and begging you so much, which parent can resist it? Even a father like Kangxi wants to give in.

Kangxi pondered and looked at the imperial physician: "... Can't we give him the drink?"

Doctor Liu hurriedly said, "Your Highness has already drunk a lot of medicine and porridge. If you drink more, you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

Kangxi nodded and said to the little kid on the bed who was eagerly waiting for his answer, "It's cold. Let someone heat it up for you. Drink it later."

For Kangxi, fooling a little kid didn't require any brainpower.

Lin Ran, whose brain was degenerating, thought about it with his eyes wide open. He felt that Kangxi had agreed, and he was satisfied and happy. He also felt that he had found the right person, that he was very smart, and that he felt a sense of accomplishment!

The happy little baby started to laugh, his big watery eyes curved and his mouth opened, revealing his pink gums and two small teeth.

A child's innocent and simple smile is always contagious, and Kangxi also had a faint smile on his face.

Although Kangxi had heard about Yinzuo's illness from the eunuchs, he asked the imperial physicians about Yinzuo's condition and ordered them to do their best to treat and take care of him.

"Cure the Sixth Prince, and each of you will get a reward."

The imperial doctors were busy expressing their opinions, and Depin said that the imperial doctors had taken good care of her in the past two days, and praised them in front of Emperor Kangxi. This was also Depin's motherly love, and everything was done so that the imperial doctors could be more dedicated.

It was really that Yinzuo's condition was too dangerous yesterday. It was no exaggeration to say that his life was hanging by a thread. It was only at the critical moment that Depin mustered up great courage and asked Kangxi for permission to let the imperial physician give Yinzuo strong medicine. Only then was Yinzuo finally pulled back from the brink of death today.

Since it is a strong medicine, there must be something wrong with it. The imperial doctors said it would destroy the foundation of the body.

But I can’t care about so many things now. I have to rescue the people first before I can talk about other things later.

Kangxi touched Yinzuo's little head and couldn't help but feel pity for him. He said to Yinzuo, "Get well soon. When you get well, I'll give you some sweet maltose from Jiangnan. It's very sweet."

The big palm on the head was not as soft as the woman's just now, but it was also warm. The man's voice was not as gentle as the woman's, and his eyes were not as loving as the woman's. However, Lin Ran, now Yinzuo, listened to the man's words, his eyes lit up.

"sugar!"

This move is invincible for the little kid. For the little kid who is suffering from the poison of the medicine, it is like a nuclear attack, and it can defeat the enemy in one move!

Lin Ran held her breath and managed to utter four words, "Say, keep your word!"

After a lot of effort, the toothless baby still spoke with a lisp and unclear pronunciation, but his tender little voice had a hint of warmth in it, which made everyone in the room smile.

"Okay, I'll keep my word and I won't joke." Kangxi promised the child.

Then Yinzuo, who only had two small teeth, smiled with his eyes curved and his mouth wide open, not realizing at all that he was laughing like a rabbit. He even drooled while laughing, so embarrassing.

The crystal clear saliva flowed down the child's chin, and he himself didn't notice it. Kangxi's mouth twitched. He thought his son was silly and felt a little disgusted for a moment.

Kangxi made room to the side to make it easier for Depin to wipe Yinzuo's chin.

This unqualified and scumbag father who was the emperor did not know how to serve others and had no concept of serving others. Even if it was just a small matter of wiping the saliva of his child, you could not rely on him at all.

When his son was sick, he was concerned about his son's condition, asked about him every day, and even came to visit him in person and asked the imperial physician to take care of him. In the eyes of others, this already made him a qualified emperor father and a caring father.

He came to see in person. In the eyes of some people, they were afraid that the emperor was sick. This was already a sign that Concubine De was favored and the Sixth Prince was valued.

But Kangxi did not sit here for long before leaving. Kangxi was very busy, and it was impossible for him to accompany his son like an ordinary father when he was sick. Of course, although it was true that Kangxi was busy, it was not that he could not spare a little more time. If Yinzuo was the more respected prince, he might have had the time, but Yinzuo was not important enough.

But isn't it just making yourself uncomfortable to make a comparison like that?

At this time, Yinzuo didn't even know that this person was his father, so he wouldn't have any extra thoughts.

But after Kangxi stood up, Yinzuo saw that he was going to leave. He had another important thing to do, so he hurriedly said, "Tian, porridge!"

“It’s hot!”

He remembered!

He always remembered this.

The man had said before that he would heat it up for him to drink later. Yinzuo didn't know how long "later" meant, but he was about to leave, so it must have been a long time!

Don't try to deceive him!

The anxious voice of the little kid made Kangxi stop in his tracks. He felt quite amused and helpless. To be honest, he had actually forgotten about this matter.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to sigh that his son had a good memory, or to sigh that how could his son, the emperor, be such a greedy kid? The imperial family didn't care about the appetite, because greed was always associated with failure.

Anyway, don't worry about it, the little kid's round eyes were looking at him, as if to say don't even think about denying it. Kangxi, who had completely forgotten about this matter, felt a little embarrassed to be looked at by his son.

He looked at the imperial physician again. The imperial physician touched Yinzuo's belly and said to Kangxi, "You can have some more porridge now."

So when the warm sweet porridge was brought over, Kangxi left. Don't expect Kangxi to feed his son porridge himself, that's impossible. However, since the bowl of porridge was brought over, Yinzuo didn't even look at Kangxi again, and had no attachment to him!

The first meeting between Yinzuo and Kangxi, father and son, was such a picture of 'the father is kind and the son is filial'!
