Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Chapter 33
The moment Kangxi heard this, the expression on his face changed suddenly. He stood up from his chair, picked up Yinyou and ran outside.
Why did the good kid go to play on the ice?
He also fell into an ice hole.
When Liang Jiugong saw this, he quickly took his cloak and trotted after Kangxi.
Kangxi walked hurriedly. He lifted the heavy door curtain, stepped over the threshold and walked out. As soon as he went out, a cold wind blew and cold snowflakes fell on his face. The biting coldness suddenly sobered him up, and he lowered his head to look at Yinyou in his arms.
After seeing those clear eyes, the steps under his feet suddenly stopped.
I was so busy going out that I forgot about the child in my arms. What if he catches a cold?
Liang Jiugong came out with a thick fox fur cloak. He said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Put on your cloak first."
Kangxi stopped and followed Liang Jiugong's force to put the cloak on himself. He held Yinwei with one hand and pulled the cloak, wrapping him completely in the cloak, leaving only a pair of eyes visible from the top of his head.
After hearing the eunuch's words, Yinreng looked at Kangxi who was hurried out, stood up from his chair, picked up two hats, one big and one small, and chased after him.
When he reached the door, he saw Kangxi standing in the corridor. He walked over and handed him his hat.
Kangxi took the fox fur hat that Yinreng handed over and put it on Yinyu's head. He touched his little head with his hand and said to him apologetically: "It's Daddy's fault. Daddy was so worried about the thirteenth and fourteenth that he forgot about the fifteenth."
It is already the coldest time of the year, and the thickness of the ice can bear the weight of two children, but why did they go on the ice at this time?
He also fell into an ice hole. Will such a young child be hurt if he fell into an ice hole in such a cold day?
Thinking of this, his heart was in his throat.
Yinyu looked at the anxious look on Kangxi's face. He rubbed his face with his hands, rubbed his cheeks, and comforted him in a soft voice: "Daddy, don't be afraid."
As he spoke, he buried his whole body in the crook of Kangxi's neck and asked the 679 system in his mind: "System, what happened to Thirteen and Fourteen? How did they fall into the ice hole?"
In this era when even a cold can be fatal, they both fell in together. If they had a high fever, it would have been dangerous.
System 679 knew what Yinyu was worried about, and he comforted her in his childish, mechanical voice, "Don't worry, host. They're both fine. They just got a little frightened and caught a cold. They'll be fine after taking some medicine."
There is no news of the two people dying young in history, so it is naturally impossible for them to have any accidents.
Even the body is not affected much.
When Yinyu heard this, he nodded to System 679 in his heart and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
He just couldn't find the words to say. Two children aged five or six, and seven or eight, with so many people around them, actually fell into the ice hole.
Even if nothing happens, you may still be frightened.
Kangxi listened to Yinyu's comfort and wrapped the cloak in his hand tightly to prevent the cold wind from blowing on him. He said as he walked, "Don't worry, father."
He wasn't worried that it was fake. That was his child, how could he not be worried?
But after hearing the system's confident words, he finally let go of his worries. As long as Thirteen and Fourteen were fine, it was okay. It was inevitable that they would be frightened. Who asked them to go playing on the ice?
He had told them many times that they must not go on the ice. What he was most afraid of was that the ice was not yet frozen solid and these children would run over without knowing the danger.
This is the trouble, so he sends people to guard it every year, but problems still arise when guarding it this time.
Thinking of this, he did not stop at all and walked quickly towards the prince.
Yinreng followed behind Kangxi and looked at Yinyou who was in his arms, with a somewhat silent expression on his face.
Not many people could hear the conversation between Fifteen and the system. So far, only they, the brothers, and his father had blocked the news and issued a special order that no one should be told. This resulted in the younger ones studying in the study being in a confused state about everything, and some even thought they were dreaming.
I forgot everything that happened that night.
The people in the harem saw that these people were very peaceful and were nice to Fifteen, so they felt that there was a chance.
No matter where the opportunity is, you should always go and see.
So much so that some people wanted to attack Fifteen, and the smallpox that Sun brought back was aimed at Fifteen.
It's just a pity that Fifteen and the system can only see some specific things when they see people. If they can't see people, they can just capture them randomly, and it will be difficult to investigate the truth.
Otherwise, the person who bribed Sun’s husband would not have been found until now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The group walked towards the abode of the princes. When they arrived at the door of the abode, they saw a row of people kneeling in the yard.
These people were the ones who served the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes. After they fell in, someone went into the water to rescue them. Now they haven't even changed their clothes and are still kneeling on the ground waiting for their fate.
The wet clothes had turned into ice in the cold wind.
It stuck dryly to their bodies, causing them to tremble all over and their lips to turn purple.
Yinyu frowned and looked at the few people. He reached out and tugged at Kangxi, pointing at the people who were covered in ice and shivering violently, and said softly, "Daddy."
They made a mistake, but after saving the person, they didn't change their clothes and just knelt here. He felt a little uncomfortable.
Kangxi followed Yinyou's finger and looked towards the group of people kneeling on the ground. His eyes froze for a moment, and then he said to Liang Jiugong in a deep voice, "Take them downstairs to change clothes, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and wait for news in the house. If anything happens to Thirteen and Fourteen, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Fifteen looked at these people with pity, but it was not so in his eyes.
If Thirteen and Fourteen were fine, these people would all be meritorious. If something really happened, these people would also die, sooner or later. However, those people who went into the water were still relatively loyal. They were able to go down and save people at this time, and they should not be kneeling here.
After hearing Kangxi's voice, Concubine Min came out of the room. She was wearing a thick fox fur coat and a light blue jacket. Her hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that she was in a hurry on the road.
The moment she saw Kangxi, her slightly red eyes were slightly moist, and she saluted him and said, "Your Majesty."
But when his eyes fell on Yinyou who was held in Kangxi's arms, his eyes flickered slightly and he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Kangxi took two steps forward, holding Yinyu in one hand, and reached out with the other to help her up. He asked her, "How are Thirteen and Fourteen?"
Before he could speak, Concubine De came out of the room with a pale face. She saluted Kangxi and said, "Greetings to the Emperor."
At this moment, Concubine De was wearing a cloak surrounded by auspicious clouds and towering green bamboos. Inside she wore a light green padded jacket with a layer of white rabbit fur on top. The rabbit fur wrapped around her neck made her look even more charming.
The moment Kangxi saw her, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked her coldly, "Why did you come out?!"
Defei was so worried that she actually came out during the house arrest. It seemed that he was too good to her, so she dared to be so unscrupulous.
The last time she was under house arrest, she came out without permission and took revenge on Fifteen, causing him to almost fall. Now she even dares to do this.
The moment Concubine De heard this, her heart trembled slightly. She raised her eyes to look at Kangxi, tears trickling down her cheeks. The handkerchief in her hand was a faint blood-red. She said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I heard someone say that Fourteenth fell into the water. I was so worried that I came out early. Once you're sure Fourteenth is fine, even if Your Majesty punishes me by confining me to my house for another year, I will accept it."
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Kangxi, her voice filled with sorrow as she said, "Your Majesty, please consider that I have served you for so long and allow me to stay with Fourteen for a while."
Kangxi stared coldly at Concubine De. After a long while, he took a deep breath, suppressed his displeasure, and said to her with a little relief: "Concubine De, I will spare you this time for the sake of the Fourteenth Prince. If you dare to cause trouble in the palace again, don't blame me for being cruel."
Defei still had some confidence. Her brother had just won the Lixia battle some time ago, and Fourteenth had fallen into the water. It was the time when she needed her mother. Otherwise, he would definitely send her back and never give her a chance to come out again.
Thinking of this, he held Yinyou and walked inside.
The room had been fumigated with mugwort and looked a little smoky. Yinyu held Kangxi in his arms and looked at the two people lying on the bed.
The younger one was the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang, and he had met the other Yinyu, the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen.
Thirteen had already woken up. He opened his eyes and said weakly to Kangxi, "Father."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Fourteen beside him. After making sure that he was okay, he lowered his eyes.
What happened today was really thrilling. Yinzhen actually went ice skating. If he hadn't brought people there, he might have frozen to death.
There were so many people following Fourteen, but no one dared to go into the water to rescue him.
Yinyu looked at the Thirteenth Prince, Yinxiang, blinked, and mentally said to the 679 system: "System, is this the Thirteenth Prince?"
During the last Mid-Autumn Festival, he couldn't tell who was who. Now when he saw Yinxiang, he just thought that he looked a little white and fat, with chubby flesh and very strong.
The only thing is his eyes, which make him look much smarter than Fourteenth Prince's.
System 679 followed Yinyu's gaze and landed on Yinxiang. He looked at him for a moment and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, host. This is the legendary Thirteenth Prince."
These words made Yinxiang's pupils shrink slightly. He closed his eyelids, trying not to reveal any clues of his emotions.
He knew the difference of the fifteenth day during the August Festival. At that time, he had been playing all day and was a little drowsy. When he heard the conversation between him and the system, he thought he was dreaming.
I hadn't seen him for such a long time that he gradually forgot about it.
Now as he listened to the conversation between the system and Fifteen, he knew that he was not dreaming, and what he heard on the day of the August Festival banquet was true.
But what exactly does the legendary Thirteenth Prince mean?!
How did he become a legend? Is there something he doesn't know?
It seems that he can't stay in the prince's residence every day in the future. He has to go out and play with Fifteen when he has nothing to do.
Kangxi was also shocked by the words of the 679 system. The legendary Thirteenth Prince?
Could it be that Thirteen is also one of the future Nine Dragons fighting for the throne?
But Thirteen has used the legend, so his ending shouldn’t be bad, right?
He was thinking with some uncertainty in his heart, but after seeing the expression on Yinxiang's face, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. This kid thought he was hiding it well.
I'm afraid only fifteen people present here can't tell?
Yinreng stood leisurely aside, his eyes falling on Yinxiang and Yinzhen, but when he saw Yinzhen's trembling eyelashes, he almost laughed out loud.
He clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, coughed lightly and said, "Father, it seems that Fourteen is awake?"
Yinreng's words made everyone present focus their attention on Yinzhen.
Defei rushed directly towards Yinzhen, hugged him and said excitedly: "Fourteen, Fourteen, you finally woke up."
Yinzhen was held by Concubine De, and his whole body began to tremble. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the few people. After meeting Yinyou's gaze, he was so scared that he burst into tears.
He didn't feel scared when he fell into the ice hole, but when he saw Yinyou, he felt so horrible.
He can speak without moving his mouth, and there is an awkward voice when talking to him.
He has already run away to the prince's residence, how can I see him again?!
He was so scared, but he couldn't tell his mother.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. He nestled in Concubine De's arms and cried even more painfully.
De Fei thought Yin Zhen was frightened because he fell into an ice hole, so she patted his body and whispered to him, "Don't be afraid, Fourteenth. It's okay. Don't be afraid anymore."
Of her two sons, one had long since alienated himself from her, and the other nearly fell into an ice hole and died. Hadn't she been in the palace for so many years thinking of relying on her sons in the future?
What would she do if she died now that she was fourteen?
After all the fighting, she ended up suffering the biggest loss. It seems she needs to take a long-term view in the future.
Thinking of this, her fingers holding Yinzhen slowly tightened a little.
Yinyu looked at Yinzhen being held by Concubine De and asked curiously to the 679 system in his heart, "What do you mean by the legendary Thirteenth Prince you just mentioned?"
The Thirteenth Prince is already a legend, so he must be very powerful in the future, right?
The moment Yinzhen heard this, he trembled like a sieve. He didn't want to hear anything, and he didn't want to know anything.
He thought of burying himself completely in Concubine De's arms.
When Yinxiang heard Yinwei's question, his eyes suddenly brightened. He felt that this system was really useful and it actually knew his future.
He has now begun to practice martial arts and study hard, and he will definitely be a man of both civil and military talents in the future.
Even if you can't be the prime minister, you can still be a general, right?
At the very least, he can be like his uncle and follow his elder brother in battles.
When he thought of this, bright light kept flashing in his clear eyes, and he began to feel vaguely expectant in his heart.
Concubine Min looked at her son and couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead. Fourteenth son was so scared that he cried loudly, but he was fine. He was full of energy and seemed as if nothing had happened.
If Concubine De bites back later, she will want to see how he defends himself.
Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly.
Upon hearing Yinyu's words, System 679's robotic voice suddenly became excited. "Yinxiang is a man of both civil and military talents. He's practically the best among your brothers. However, for Yinzhen's sake, your father imprisoned such an outstanding man for ten years. He wasn't released until Yinzhen ascended the throne. By then, his health had deteriorated from those ten years of confinement."
Upon hearing this, Yinyu hugged Kangxi's neck, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. He said to the 679 system in his mind: "According to what you said, I think Thirteen is quite pitiful."
Youth is the prime of life, and you are locked up for ten years. How much perseverance does it take to persevere?
By the time Yinzhen finally ascended the throne, his health had deteriorated.
How could such a person be a legend?
Kangxi listened to Yi Yi Tong's words, feeling a little complicated. He looked at Yinxiang and said to him in a rare gentle voice, "Yinxiang, stay with your mother for a few days. When you feel better, come back to the prince's residence."
This child was also imprisoned, although he stood on Yinzhen's side and won in the end.
Yinzhen himself was exhausted to death at his desk, so how could Yinxiang's fate be any better?
While he is still young, let him enjoy himself for a while. He will not be imprisoned this time, but he will be asked to work harder and train with Yinzhen.
Yinxiang was shocked by what System 679 said. Yinzhen, he actually did such a thing for Yinzhen, is he stupid?!
He was imprisoned for ten years because of him. This little guy, who is still crying and trembling all over, can become an emperor in the future?!
Who would believe this if I told anyone? There was no way he was in cahoots with him. Even if they were, he wouldn't be the emperor in the end. Unless he was plotting against him, why else would he be imprisoned for ten years just for him?!
By the time he came out, he had already ascended the throne?
No, he would have to ask Yinzhen carefully when he got back. He must not let him have any other ideas. Once he had any other ideas, he would strangle them in the bud.
So as to avoid him being imprisoned for another ten years.
If he doesn't listen, beat him. If one beating doesn't work, beat him twice to see if he still has the intention to seize the throne.
Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Yinzhen suddenly became a little different.
When Concubine Min heard Kangxi's words, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face. She quickly bowed to Kangxi and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He turned around to look at Yinxiang who was still a little dazed, and reached out to tug at his clothes.
Yinxiang reacted suddenly and said respectfully to Kangxi, "Thank you, Father."
It would be better for him to go to his mother's palace and think carefully about the future. At least he must not be imprisoned for another ten years because of Yinzhen.
When Concubine De heard Kangxi's words, her heart suddenly became excited. She looked towards the man and asked him, "Your Majesty, can I take Fourteenth Prince back to Yonghe Palace with me?"
After saying this, he looked at Kangxi expectantly.
Fourteen is younger and more frightened, so the emperor shouldn't object.
Kangxi looked at Yinyou nestled in his arms, his brows knitted together. He glanced at Concubine De and said in a somewhat cold voice, "Fourteenth is with Concubine Min and Thirteenth."
He paused slightly at this point, then continued, "Yonghe Palace, you can go back by yourself."
It was difficult for him to have a good face towards Concubine De anymore. He always felt that she was partial to Fourteenth Princess, but she used Fourteenth Princess to win favor. He always thought that she was not good to Yinzhen, but he did not expect that it was a bad way that almost cost him his life.
All of these things were done by Concubine De, and he couldn't help but doubt Concubine De's purpose of wanting a child.
The moment Fourteenth Prince heard this, his whole body trembled. He said to Kangxi, "Father, Father, I won't go. I won't go anywhere. I will stay at the Prince's residence."
He broke free from Concubine De's arms and said incoherently, "Please, Emperor Father."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Yinyou, and he quickly looked at the ground with his hammer head.
If he follows Thirteen, according to Thirteen's personality, he will have to visit Fifteen every day. Wouldn't he then have to see Fifteen every day?
He would rather recuperate alone in the prince's residence. No, he is not sick and does not need to be recuperated. He is in good health now and enjoys eating everything. There is no need to go to anyone's palace!
Kangxi frowned and looked at Yinzhen, his lips pursed into a straight line. After a long while, he said, "Okay, then Yinzhen will stay in the prince's residence."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Yinreng, then carried Yinyou and walked outside. After walking two steps, he looked at Yinzhen again, then walked towards the imperial physician, asked the imperial physician about the condition of the two, and after confirming that they were just a little frightened and caught a cold, he walked outside.
As for how someone fell on the ice, he believed that Concubine De and Concubine Min would definitely be able to investigate it clearly.
Yinyu hugged Kangxi's neck and said to the 679 system in his heart, somewhat puzzled: "Why do I feel like Fourteenth is afraid of me?"
It seemed that he and Fourteen had only met a few times, and he had not done anything to him, so why was he so afraid of him?
The few people who could hear the conversation between Yinyou and the system all held their breath at this moment.
They can hear the conversation between one person and one person, and they must not let these two people know. If they are discovered, they may not be able to hear it again in the future.
But Yinzhen's behavior was so obvious that it seemed he still needed to be taught a lesson.
Thinking of this, Yinreng looked towards Yinzhen, his eyes holding a hint of murderous intent, but the corners of his mouth curled up.
System 679 was also full of doubts. After thinking for a while, it said to him, "Is it because he's afraid of your father? Last time, when he was eating ice cream, he acted like a spoiled child towards your father, but in the end he was punished and later sent to the abode of the princes. Every time he was punished, you were there, so he automatically equated you with your father?"
After hearing the analysis of the 679 system, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but soon realized that something was wrong. When did he become equal to Yinyou?
He said this as if he had sworn brotherhood with his own son.
Yinyu accepted the explanation given by the 679 system. He nodded in his heart and said, "You are right. Fourteen is still young after all. It is normal for him to be afraid of my father, just like he is afraid of me."
Kangxi reached out and took the cloak and put it on, wrapping Yinyou in his arms, then walked outside.
Just as the two of them reached the door, System 679 suddenly called out to Yinyu, its childish, mechanical voice piercing with sharpness: "Host, host, do you see that person in front?! Find a way to catch him! He's the one who contacted Sun's husband!"
