Chapter 419 Zzz
"I knew a high favorability rating was useful!"
Seeing their eldest brother, Yinzhi, rush to their side as soon as he woke up, shaking them awake, laughing and crying, the four of them looked at each other, puzzled.
"Boss... if you don't let go, I'm going to die again..."
Yinreng's voice was hoarse as he reached out and patted Yinzhi's arm with difficulty.
Yinzhi suddenly stood up, wiped his face, and punched Yinreng, who was sitting up, back down. "You scared me to death."
Are you planning to beat me to death?
Yinreng was speechless, so he simply lay down on the bed and didn't move.
Yinzhi and Yinzuo, who were watching from the sidelines, quietly moved closer to Yinzhen and Yinsi, knowing that their eldest brother was very happy. But they couldn't bear the way their eldest brother was happy, so they left it to their second brother.
"hey-hey……"
Yinzhi grinned, then turned to see that Yinzhi and Yinzuo were not nearby. He didn't insist, and sat cross-legged next to Yinreng with a magnanimous air, chest out and head held high, his joy replaced by pride.
"I knew it had to be me. Without me, the whole army would have been wiped out."
"Brother, what exactly happened?"
Yinzhi asked a question to curry favor, and having gotten a chance to speak, Yinzhi's eyes lit up immediately, "Then I'll have to say something properly..."
Yinzhen and his three companions were curious about their experiences, and since Yinreng and his two companions had just been saved by him, they couldn't refuse.
Therefore, there was a situation where Yinzhi surrounded his seven younger brothers by himself and talked to them all night about his "great achievements".
"So, maintaining goodwill with key figures is still quite useful, don't you agree?"
"right."
"Especially Lin Daiyu, I could tell she was different the moment I saw her. Sure enough, she could even suppress the berserk Qin Keqing. Aren't you amazing?"
"sharp."
The seven men looked at each other blankly, their eyes lifeless and their dark circles under their eyes. Help! How can the eldest brother be so talkative!
Second brother, interrupt him!
Yinzhi looked at Yinreng, who looked back at him. "Why didn't you interrupt?"
I feel so bad for being so kind as to save your life!
Me too.
Yinzhuo: +1
Helpless, the trio looked at the gossipy quartet.
Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou, Yinsi: Zzz...
"Xiao Ba, from now on you'll follow your big brother, and I'll protect you!"
"Huh?" Yinzhi opened his eyes wide. "Okay, thank you, elder brother."
As if a button had been pressed, the three of them didn't even open their eyes, and replied weakly, "Okay, thank you, elder brother."
"Ahem..." Yinzhi smiled proudly yet embarrassedly, "Well, since you're all so enthusiastic, I can't refuse. From now on, I'll take care of you."
"Thank you, big brother... Zzz..." *4
"You're too kind, you're too kind!"
Yinreng, Yinzhi, and Yinzuo, who witnessed all of this: "..."
This is allowed?
"Oh, it's already dawn."
Yinzhi looked out the window and suddenly changed the subject, drawing curious glances from everyone.
"It's dawn..." But he wanted to sleep, and Yinzhuo hesitated to speak.
"Big brother, are you done talking?"
Yin Zhi looked at Yin Zhi with his eyes half-lowered. Yin Zhi smacked his lips, his mouth dry from talking, and said, "I'm done."
"Then I'm going to sleep."
Yin Zhi collapsed onto the bed with a thud and closed his eyes.
"But we should go to the Imperial Study..."
Before Yinzhu could finish speaking, he noticed that Yinzhen and the other three had also collapsed, covering each other with blankets and sleeping peacefully.
"Go to sleep," Yinreng pressed Yinzu down, "You're about to die, what's the point of attending class?"
That makes sense. Yinzhu gave up in a second and fell asleep instantly.
When Yinzhi got out of bed to get a drink of water and turned back, he saw a row of his younger brothers who were fast asleep.
"Tsk, everyone's asleep..."
As he spoke, Yinzhi couldn't help but yawn, blinked, and lay down without hesitation, saying confidently, "A family of brothers should be all together."
Zzz……
As a result, the Imperial Study was empty, while the Qianqing Palace was noisy.
Enraged upon being told that his son was "missing," Emperor Kangxi opened the door to the sleeping quarters of Yuqing Palace and found a row of his sons sleeping soundly.
"..."
"Shout it out, all of you! This is outrageous!"
"absurd!"
"Did you go thieving last night?"
Eight boys, still sporting faint dark circles under their eyes, stood in a row from oldest to youngest, heads bowed, silently enduring Kangxi's wrath.
Even the carefree princes Yinreng, Yinzhi, and Yinzhen took the opportunity to stand up and sleep for a while longer.
What's wrong with the emperor getting angry? So what if he gets angry? He's easily angered anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Baocheng, as the Crown Prince, is this how you set an example?"
Faced with Kangxi's questioning, Yinreng slowly raised his head and said casually, "Then you can depose me."
"What?"
Emperor Kangxi's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.
Yinreng continued, "Father, who do you think is suitable? Let him be the one."
Few people present were truly sober, and Yinzhi blurted out, "I won't do it!"
Yin Zhi instinctively replied, "Don't look at me!"
Yinzhen, sitting to the right, pursed his lips and said, "Not interested."
Feeling he needed to respond, Yinqi said, "I can't do it."
Not understanding why it was his turn, Yinzhuo said, "I can't."
According to the order, it was indeed his turn, Yin You: "Too much trouble."
Yinzhi, who was being stared at by seven pairs of eyes... oh, and Kangxi, a total of eight pairs of eyes: "This is boring."
The seven elder brothers sighed regretfully. Yinreng turned to look at Kangxi seriously and sincerely suggested, "Father, why don't you take a look at me?"
"..." Kangxi, Kangxi laughed in anger. He really laughed out loud, making Liang Jiugong, who was watching from the sidelines in the hall, tremble with fear, and even suspect that the emperor had gone mad with anger.
"What do you take the position of Crown Prince for? Huh? Is the heir apparent something so worthless that you have to pass it around like this?"
Seeing the eight people's unanimous expressions of "indeed worthless," Kangxi felt even more frustrated. At the height of his anger, he calmed down.
Something's up here, something big!
Kangxi, who was certain of this, wanted to find out the situation, but looking at his eight sons in front of him only made him more annoyed. "Get out, get out... Bao Cheng stay... no, Yinzhi stay!"
After thinking it over, Kangxi decided to start by taking down the youngest one, since dealing with Yinzhi would be easier than dealing with all eight of them.
"Then I'm not leaving!" *7
But what Kangxi didn't know was that getting rid of Yinzhi required getting rid of the other seven.
