Chapter 2 The Second Day of Wanting to Die
In order to confirm that the Sixth Prince was not having a last-minute relapse, Imperial Physician Zheng examined him inside and out.
Yin Zhuo felt like he was the monkey being watched. The big guys who came looked at him nervously but curiously.
As if there was some secret about him, Yin Zhuo felt frightened by being stared at.
Yin Zhuo was not guilty. He glared back at anyone who looked at him. Except for Kangxi, who he could not glare at more than him, the rest of those who looked at him were his defeated men. They all turned their eyes away out of guilt after being glared at by him.
Well, actually Yin Zhuo was still somewhat weak when facing Kangxi. Although Kangxi's eyes were small, they were too sharp. So he deliberately avoided him and looked for other more immature opponents to challenge.
While watching him, I was complaining in my heart.
[Aren't the brothers in the Qing Dynasty dramas just fake brothers? Why are they all so concerned about whether he is dead or alive? ]
It took an hour to see it.
Yin Zhuo didn’t understand. If he died, wouldn’t that mean there would be one less competitor?
What is plastic brotherhood?
The princes looked at each other and inexplicably understood what this meant.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and silent.
But at the same time, there is a reason why they don't take Xiaoliu as their competitor, because Xiaoliu really looks like he can't catch his breath and will fall to the ground at any time, so everyone is happy to use him to act out the scene of harmonious brothers getting along with each other for the Emperor to see.
They didn't let Xiaoliu look into their eyes for a long time because it would be a bit scary for Xiaoliu if he looked at them for too long.
The two big eyes seemed to be embedded in his face. His face was very thin, without any flesh, so the two eyes were particularly prominent. They stared at them fiercely, and if you looked at them for a long time, you would really have nightmares at night.
Xiaoliu was right just now. He is quite ugly now.
Fortunately, Yin Zhuo couldn't hear anything now, otherwise he would have crashed into them and died. It would have been fine if he just complained about how ugly he was, but these people actually dared to say that about him. He would scare them to death and leave them with an unforgettable shadow.
Kangxi was also stunned. His fingers behind his back moved and tapped the back of his hand, with a dark look in his eyes.
As the children grew up, they certainly had their own little tricks, but Kangxi was also happy to see them causing trouble, because these princes were not yet able to turn over his palm, and he wanted to see how strong these people's wings were.
Moreover, Kangxi did not expect that these brats would be so hypocritical.
He actually used Xiaoliu as a raft.
Kangxi hummed softly, and the people behind him stiffened instantly, and their breathing became much lighter.
Yin Zhuo glared and commented at the same time.
[Oh my, this is my big brother who is tall but not smart. Was he researching the secret recipe for having a son last night? Stop researching. Your son will come in September. The emperor's sister-in-law is so pitiful. If someone asks me to keep having a son, I will slap him twice.]
Yinzhen: ! ! He is going to have a son? !
Yinzhen had indeed studied a lot of secret recipes for having a son over the years, but he gave up the idea after his eldest grandson Hongxi was born.
Originally, he wanted to gain the title of eldest grandson before Mr. Yinreng to gain respect, but he really didn't have that fate. Hongxi is almost two years old now, and there is still no sign of his son.
The children born to the great fortune master were all young ladies.
Although it was good for him to have a concubine, Yinzhen was still upset that he had no son.
Da Fu Jin has been dragged through so much trouble all the time. If it is just as Xiao Liu said, will a little grandson really be born in September?
Yinzhen was a little dazed. Fujin was indeed pregnant again. This made Yinzhen, who had been looking forward to having a son for a long time, feel unreal.
Kangxi was so angry. This eldest brother... just told him yesterday how caring the daughter of the family was. He thought the eldest brother didn't mind, but who knew that she had been secretly hoping for a child.
Yinreng glanced at Yinzhi with amusement. Xiaoliu was right. The eldest son really had no brains, and even if he had brains, they were just pigs. He didn't expect that the eldest grandson would be his son Hongxi. When he returned, he would reward his fat boy well for making him proud since he was born.
Yinzhi also noticed the second brother's eyes, but Yinzhi didn't bother with him. He wanted to leave the palace right away to tell Fujin the good news. Fujin must be very happy!
Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen's silly smile and his expression gradually turned cold.
He had previously thought that the eldest brother and Da Fu Jin had a deep relationship, but he never expected that the eldest brother would actually set his sights on the emperor's eldest grandson.
So stupid!
In the corner where no one was paying attention, Concubine De didn't even dare to move.
She sat at the end of the bed, holding Xiaoliu's skinny little hand, and lowered her head to hide her frightened expression.
She, she seemed to be able to hear Xiaoliu talking out of thin air...
Defei was a little worried whether this would be a bad thing for Xiaoliu, but she understood that Xiaoliu must have had some opportunity to suddenly get better, otherwise she would not have gotten better so quickly.
But as long as Xiaoliu gets better, she can finally put her mind at ease.
Ever since Xiaoliu was born, she knew that this child was here to save her.
She knew that God would not take her little six away so easily.
Sure enough, her Xiaoliu is the chosen one.
He could even predict the future and knew that his eldest son's unborn child would be a little grandson of the emperor. It was simply amazing.
Yinzuo, Yinzuo, when she named him, she felt that Xiaoliu was different from others and could accomplish great things.
Concubine De was so excited that she kept rubbing Yin Zhuo's little hand.
Yin Zhuo felt like a layer of skin on his hands was almost rubbed off by his mother, but he couldn't say anything.
Who made E'niang the only one present who truly cared about him and didn't want him to die?
Yin Zhuo's eyes became sore from glaring for so long, and after glaring at the crown prince and his eldest brother, he gave up on glaring at the rest. It was too tiring to glare at the others, and the others were too far back for him to watch.
Moreover, Yin Zhuo had just arrived and was exhausted. He was still unable to adapt to his frail body and yawned very rudely in front of everyone.
[So boring, why isn't anyone talking? Oh, when I die, will my shroud be yellow? Forget it, I'll eat more during this time so that I don't look too ugly when I die.]
Defei felt a pang in her heart and tears fell down. It was like stabbing a knife into her heart.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoliu, everything will be fine. Your mother will always be with you." Defei took a handkerchief and wiped the tears that Yin Zhuo shed from his eyes due to yawning.
Yin Zhuo opened his mouth and wanted to yawn again, but being stared at like that, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and swallowed the yawn abruptly. His eyes were red and he coughed all over: "Cough cough, mother... cough cough... I will definitely live a long life... cough cough."
Yin Zhuo couldn't stop coughing, which reduced the credibility of this sentence to zero.
Defei was so frightened that she feared that Xiaoliu would be unable to breathe again, so she called the imperial physician over. It took him a long time to stop coughing, but his face had turned red, which was very obvious against his white undergarment.
[…Oh my god, I’m just going to cough to death. I’m not going to live any longer. Oh, should I pick out a nice coffin for myself during this time? I wonder if there’s any yellow wood…]
Thinking of this, Yin Zhuo secretly glanced at Kangxi's bright yellow robe.
[Just make it about the same color as the old man's.]
Kangxi: ...
How long have you wanted to wear yellow? It’s fine if you want your burial clothes to be yellow, but why do you want even your coffin to be bright yellow? Do you want it to be inlaid with colorful gems?
[It would be best if you inlaid it with fist-sized gems to blind their eyes! ]
Kangxi: ...
Kangxi really couldn't help it, he got up from the chair and walked to the bed, then bent down and pinched Yin Zhuo's face unexpectedly, but he could only pinch a layer of skin. Because Kangxi was reluctant to leave, he rarely came to see Xiaoliu before and had never looked at him carefully.
Now Kangxi understood why Xiaoliu disliked her ugliness. This look was not good-looking.
Yin Zhuo stared at Kangxi who came over with his eyes wide open, a look of horror on his face, and then he felt a pain on his face.
[This old man actually pinched his face! ]
Kangxi paused in his movements, and the Crown Prince and several brothers behind him all took a step back.
It was Xiaoliu who called him the old man and he had nothing to do with them.
But after everyone tasted it, they found that the old man had become quite fluent in reciting it after a long time.
Kangxi's movements intensified, and he deliberately said, "It's been a long time since we last met. How come Xiaoliu has changed?"
Yin Zhuo suddenly clenched his toes.
Could it be that he discovered something?
Then he heard Kangxi say: "Why do I think Xiaoliu has become ugly?"
Yin Zhuo: …
Kangxi was not satisfied with what he said, so he asked Concubine De and the Crown Prince, "Concubine De and the Crown Prince, what do you think?"
Concubine De and the Crown Prince: ...
When Concubine De heard him say that Xiaoliu was not pretty, she was a little dissatisfied: "Xiaoliu will be the most beautiful after she recovers from her illness and is well-fed."
After saying this, he looked at Yin Zhuo soothingly.
She first took care of Xiaoliu's health, and her appearance was secondary. In her heart, Xiaoliu was the most beautiful.
The prince stood stiffly for most of the day, and only relaxed for a moment when he listened to Xiaoliu complaining about the boss. The rest of the time he didn't even dare to move, let alone say anything.
"Sixth brother is not ugly."
Kangxi was somewhat dissatisfied because he did not hear the answer he wanted. Xiaoliu's next words made Kangxi's face turn black.
"It's all thanks to the Emperor." Yin Zhuo smiled shyly, his tone full of sincerity.
But in my heart, I was crazy about the old man.
[Bad old man, bad old man, bad old man...]
Kangxi laughed out of anger, I don’t know if it was because he was mad at the rebellious Xiaoliu.
This brat is quite vengeful.
Kangxi rubbed Yin Zhuo's fleshless face with both hands, successfully rubbing his face, which had just regained its whiteness, back to red again. Then, reluctantly, he let go and stood up and said, "Okay, Xiao Liu, have a good rest. The imperial physician is on standby at all times to ensure the safety of the Sixth Prince."
The imperial physicians and palace maids could not hear the Sixth Prince's thoughts and felt that the atmosphere today was strange, but they were relieved to hear Kangxi's words.
At least my head was saved today.
"I obey your order."
Imperial Physician Zheng was almost exhausted. If he had known this earlier, he would not have jumped to conclusions. Fortunately, the emperor did not blame him.
Kangxi continued, "Everyone go back and let Xiaoliu have a good rest."
When Yin Zhuo heard that they were leaving, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and closed his eyes. He was already tired.
Seeing Xiaoliu close his eyes, Kangxi and his men quietly left the room.
Before Kangxi left, he turned around and glanced at Yin Zhuo. This kid still looked better when he was asleep.
After going out, Kangxi found that his ears were suddenly much quieter. He had listened to Xiaoliu chattering in his mind for an hour and now he was still finding it a little difficult to adapt.
After walking a distance, Kangxi asked the palace maids to step aside, then looked at the eldest prince, the crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince behind him, and said after a while: "You didn't hear anything today, and I didn't hear anything either."
There was no need for him to tell Concubine De, she would definitely keep it a secret.
Kangxi's voice was flat and without ups and downs, but the threat in his tone was chilling.
Although it was not the first time that the prince had seen Kangxi like this, that was all in front of outsiders. This was the first time he had seen Kangxi speak like this to them.
His face darkened and he nodded in agreement.
Kangxi looked at everyone and suddenly sighed: "Alas, I just realized that each of you is almost taller than me. There is still a big gap between Xiaoliu and you. Next time you see him, remember to say he is short."
After saying this, Kangxi walked away briskly, ignoring the unhappy expressions on his brothers' faces.
Everyone thinks that the emperor has a strong desire for revenge.
Didn’t Xiaoliu call him an old man in his heart?
Xiaoliu is absolutely right!
What a bad old man!
The remaining five people looked at each other, then turned their faces away silently, sneering in their hearts. It seemed that they could all hear Xiaoliu's thoughts. He was quite good at acting just now.
He pretended to make them think that he was the only one who could hear Xiaoliu's thoughts.
Drama queen.
After a few polite words, everyone was about to go their separate ways, without any intention of communicating with each other.
Needless to say, the eldest prince and the crown prince have never been on good terms with each other since they were young.
Besides, the eldest prince was in a hurry to leave the palace and go home to tell Fu Jin the good news. He didn't even want to pretend, it would be a waste of time.
The fourth brother has a naturally cold face, as if everyone owes him money. He is like this to everyone and is difficult to get close to.
Yinzhi and Yinqi wanted to say something, but they saw the second prince, after exchanging pleasantries with the eldest brother, snorted coldly, then turned around and left, each walking to one side, neither of them having anything to do with the other.
Yinzhen nodded to Yinzhi and Yinqi and left, turning around and walking towards the office. He had just come into contact with government affairs and still had some things to deal with.
Yinzhi and Yinqi glanced at each other stealthily.
Xiaoliu was right, their brotherhood was indeed just a fake one.
All plastic, no brotherhood!
