Chapter 31: The 31st Day of Wanting to Die

Yinzhen had no choice but to take him to sleep in the small courtyard of the study.

Normally he would sleep in the main courtyard, but after Xiaoliu told him about Honghui's death, he had a good chat with Fujin and planned to live separately for a few more years.

He just happened to deal with the Emperor and his brothers first.

What if he really is going to ascend the throne as Xiaoliu said?

He has little experience now, and still has many things to ask his father and brothers for advice.

Yin Zhuo had already washed up and climbed onto the bed. He shrunk into the bed without caring about anything, leaving space for Yinzhen. Then he felt inexplicably excited.

[Does this count as sleeping on a dragon bed? Is the little eunuch next to me Su Peisheng? I feel like the ages don't match up. Wasn't Su Peisheng born in the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign? ]

Yin Zhuo was feeling horny and no longer sleepy. He stared at the eunuch beside him secretly.

Even the young eunuch who followed along was a little jealous.

This little eunuch has only been favored for half a month. How come the Sixth Prince fell in love with another little eunuch after visiting the Fourth Prince's residence?

This little eunuch is almost as old as his godfather, Eunuch Wang.

That’s right, seeing that the young eunuch was very loyal to Yin Zhuo, Eunuch Wang had already changed him from an apprentice to a godson.

After all, Eunuch Wang is getting older and cannot keep up with the Sixth Prince's lively personality. The young eunuch is a candidate that Eunuch Wang can trust.

"This is Eunuch Zheng."

Yinzhen listened to Xiaoliu's thoughts and saw that he was looking for Su Peisheng, so he could only introduce him to him. This person's surname was not Su.

Yin Zhuo nodded disappointedly: "Oh."

[I wonder when Su Peisheng started to follow the fourth brother? Maybe he doesn't have enough experience, and he is still a low-level eunuch. From what I know, it's not easy to climb up. Su Peisheng is a tough guy who can leave a name in the long river of history. ]

Yinzhen stood by the bed in a daze.

It seems that he is looking for this young eunuch named Su Peisheng.

Eunuch Zheng was extremely nervous. He never expected that the Sixth Prince would become curious about him.

He was given to the Fourth Prince by Empress Tong, and he watched him grow up. When the Fourth Prince grew up, he followed him out of the palace and came here.

He had not met the Sixth Prince many times, and he did not understand why the Sixth Prince looked so disappointed.

Moreover, the young eunuch who came with the Sixth Prince looked at him with a very unfriendly look.

It seems to be a bit unpalatable.

Eunuch Zheng laughed. This Sixth Prince was really interesting, and the people around him were also interesting.

Yin Zhuo patted the bed and said, "Come up and sleep."

[Isn't this fourth brother cold? Why is he standing stupidly beside the bed? ]

Yinzhen then came back to his senses, responded, and lay down next to Yin Zhuo.

Just when he thought Xiaoliu would sleep peacefully, he realized that his decision to let Xiaoliu sleep with him was a mistake, and he regretted it deeply.

Little Six was so sleepy in front of the dark lamp. As soon as the candlelight went out, he was as restless as a maggot and kept tossing around on the bed.

[I slept in the same bed with Yongzheng. I slept in the same bed with Yongzheng. I slept in the same bed with Yongzheng... I will die without any regrets! ]

The more Yin Zhuo thought about it, the more excited he became. Then his sleepiness gradually faded away and he became extremely excited.

Yinzhen had originally closed his eyes, but he was finally annoyed and opened them. He sat up and said, "If you move again, I will throw you out."

Is this Xiaoliu really that serious?

But in the darkness, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth raised to a level never seen before.

If he hadn't tried to suppress his voice, he would have been afraid that he would laugh out loud.

It seems that he had wrongly blamed Xiaoliu before, but he didn't expect that Xiaoliu would be exposed now.

He thought Xiaoliu didn't like him, but now he was so excited that he couldn't sleep even when lying next to him.

Yin Zhuo suddenly didn't dare to move, and at the same time he complained in his heart feeling aggrieved.

[So fierce... wuwuwu, forget it, I'll just sleep with the Emperor next time. He likes me so much, I'm sure he'll agree. Sigh, being too popular is also a kind of trouble. If it wasn't for the Emperor not to cling to me so much, would I have left the palace? ]

Yin Zhuo began to think about all sorts of things.

He definitely didn't want to leave the palace, it must be Old Master Kang's fault.

It has nothing to do with him.

Yinzhen was helpless. He stood still, but his inner voice became even louder.

But soon, Xiaoliu calmed down and fell asleep. Yinzhen then lay down and tucked him in under the moonlight.

Then I saw the few hairs on his head and felt like laughing.

But after calming down, Yinzhen suffered from insomnia.

It was the first time he slept in the same bed with his brother. Even though they were close friends, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He never thought that this would happen to him.

The other brothers had never experienced such a thing, not even when they were children.

They kept a certain distance from each other, and it was Xiaoliu's appearance that broke the situation.

In the second half of the night, just when Yinzhen was feeling a little sleepy, he was quietly woken up by Eunuch Zheng.

It's time to go to court.

Yinzhen stayed there for a while, staring resentfully at Xiaoliu who was sleeping soundly beside him.

It’s all that stinky little six’s fault.

Yinzhen took his clothes and went outside, then had someone light the candles. After he put on his clothes, he gave a few instructions to the palace servants, then quietly took his official hat and left the courtyard.

When he arrived at Donghua Gate, he found that many people were staring at him secretly.

The ministers heard that the emperor had released the Sixth Prince from the palace!

When they heard the news yesterday, they didn't dare go out, for fear of running into the Sixth Prince and being covered in blood.

After all, they knew that after the Sixth Prince recovered from his illness, he vomited blood twice in the Qianqing Palace alone.

Another time it happened at the Ministry of Revenue, and many people saw it at that time.

Therefore, the Sixth Prince became the person they were most afraid to offend.

But there are still many people who are wondering, didn’t the Sixth Prince say it’s not possible?

Why are you wandering around now? Yesterday you wandered to the Ministry of Revenue again. At that time, some ministers were going to repay a loan and almost ran into the Emperor at the door.

I was almost scared to death.

I didn't make any mistakes, but something even more exciting happened when I met the emperor around the corner.

This was a life that almost missed his own life.

Moreover, the Sixth Prince's leaving the palace is bound to cause trouble. Didn't you see that the Crown Prince also left the palace overnight yesterday?

The eldest prince came out of the West Camp and went straight to the Fourth Prince's residence. Not to mention the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, they came back together in a carriage.

There was no such thing before.

The brothers all ran out. Those who were always thinking three steps ahead didn't sleep well that night.

As a result, when I came today and took a look at the Fourth Prince, um... how should I put it, he seemed even more listless than them.

They didn't sleep all night. Why did the Fourth Prince do that?

Could it be that he discussed with the Sixth Prince all night about how to deal with them?

How cruel.

Yinzhen was stared at for no apparent reason for the entire morning. After the court session ended, Kangxi called the man over.

Yinzhen didn't need to think too much to know that he was asking about Xiaoliu.

As a result, Yinzhen heard the emperor's father come up and ask, "How did Xiaoliu sleep?"

Yinzhen: "...very good. When I came to court, he was still sleeping."

Yinzhi and Yinqi standing by were a little envious. They wondered when they would be able to have the same treatment and sleep till dawn.

I haven't had a lazy nap since I was six years old. It's terrible just thinking about it.

I really envy Xiaoliu.

Kangxi didn't think it was wrong at all. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction: "He is not in good health, so he should get more sleep."

Yinzhen knew this would happen.

Then, Kangxi threw some of the memorials to the three laborers, and he leisurely drank a sip of tea.

Looking at his three sons, he sighed.

Oh, I miss Xiaoliu.

It was already bright outside when Yin Zhuo, who had been muttering about something, opened his eyes. He was lying paralyzed on the bed in a spread-eagle position, occupying the entire bed.

After sitting up, he remembered something: "Where is Fourth Brother?"

When you wake up, the person is gone?

Why is he the only one left on the bed?

Eunuch Zheng and the young eunuch were waiting outside the door. When they heard the noise inside, the young eunuch pushed the door open first and said, "Master, are you awake?"

Yin Zhuo nodded: "I'm awake, where's Fourth Brother?"

"Is the Fourth Master about to leave court?" The young eunuch looked at the sun. It was almost noon.

Yin Zhuo's eyes widened and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, why didn't Fourth Brother call me when he went to court?"

Yin Zhuo said in a pretentious manner.

It is somewhat rude to sleep until the sun rises in someone else's house.

Yin Zhuo quickly put on his clothes and then threw the blame on Yinzhen.

The young eunuch knew his master's temperament and said with some distress, "But the Fourth Master has to go to court at 11:00 pm..."

Is Sixth Master awake?

Sometimes when he was on night watch, he would find that the Sixth Prince was really very patient.

He didn't sleep or do anything at midnight, just endured the night.

"Zichou Yinmao..."

Yin Zhuo stretched out his fingers to calculate the time. When he figured out what time it was, he took a breath of cool air.

The emperor is so cruel.

People are asked to go to court at five in the morning.

What time do we have to get up and set out?

The Forbidden City is still so far away.

Yin Zhuo patted his chest in fear, thank goodness.

Fortunately, his life was short.

I don't think she will live to see the age when the prince goes to court.

Si Fujin had asked people to wait for her early on, so Xiaoliu could be considered her benefactor.

He saved the life of her future child. Now that the Fourth Master is not around, she, as the hostess, must treat Xiaoliu well.

Yin Zhuo blushed when he saw his fourth sister-in-law bringing him breakfast.

It's almost time for lunch.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law, for your concern."

While having the meal, Yin Zhuo finally experienced what loneliness was.

He was very dissatisfied.

No, fourth brother is just going to court like this and leave him alone?

Yin Zhuo thought of Kangxi for the first time.

[Grandpa Kang is still the best. He takes me with him wherever he goes. I miss my grandma...]

Outside the door, Kangxi, who had dressed up to leave the palace, was moved and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.

It was worth it that he missed Xiaoliu and left the palace early to find him.
