Chapter 37: The 37th Day of Wanting to Die
Yin Zhuo heard some noise while he was half asleep, and then heard someone say in his ear: "It's okay, go back to sleep."
He also patted Yin Zhuo's belly to coax him.
Yin Zhuo fell asleep again, and when he woke up the next day he realized that it should be Kangxi.
Yin Zhuo: …
He looked around and found that he was really sleeping on the dragon bed.
My goodness, he has slept with the fourth brother and the emperor these two days. Will it be the eldest brother and the second brother, the crown prince, who will be next?
But Yin Zhuo was in a good mood, probably because Kangxi had patted him soothingly before.
Let him experience fatherly love.
Yin Zhuo stretched lazily, and then Liang Jiugong limped in.
Yin Zhuo was startled: "Eunuch Liang, what are you doing?"
Liang Jiugong said nothing, but smiled bitterly: "I made a mistake, and I deserve to be punished."
After saying that, he helped Yin Zhuo get up.
Yin Zhuo doesn't have the hobby of asking others to help him dress. Except for the time when he couldn't get out of bed, he was self-sufficient the rest of the time.
I'm used to living in an equal society, but I really can't enjoy it.
Liang Jiugong was a little at a loss, and a little angry at the same time.
The palace maids around the Sixth Prince are really lazy. They actually let their master dress himself.
Wait until he gets better and see how he deals with those people.
Liang Jiugong looked at the Sixth Prince distressedly: "Master, let me serve you."
Yin Zhuo refused again: "No, Eunuch Liang is injured, go back and rest first."
Liang Jiugong said quickly: "No, no, these are just minor injuries, it's no problem."
He can't leave. If he leaves, he may never come back.
Everyone in the palace has been fighting for the opportunity to come to the fore. If he backs down this time, it might be the end of his life.
You might get squeezed out by someone and your life or death is uncertain.
He has offended many people to reach this position over the years.
He is being watched by many people now.
They are only safe in front of the master, and those people dare not act rashly.
At the same time, let those people see that his position is still stable, so that they dare not take action against him.
Yin Zhuo didn't understand the twists and turns here. He was just a simple student who hadn't experienced the torture of work and was still very simple.
Liang Jiugong didn't dare to look into those pure eyes, as if they could see into his heart and see his dirty past.
Seeing that he was so determined, Yin Zhuo didn't want to force him. Maybe he had his own persistence.
"Okay, then you should be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it."
Liang Jiugong was almost broken by this sentence, and quickly lowered his head to cover his red eyes: "Yes."
Yin Zhuo noticed something was wrong with his voice, frowned, and said nothing.
Liang Jiugong also thoughtfully prepared breakfast for Yin Zhuo.
This was the first time that Yin Zhuo got up so early, and the Emperor had not yet left the court.
He happily had his breakfast, and then asked someone to make him some modern milk tea as he was a little greedy.
Yin Zhuo gave a brief description, and the young eunuch took note of it, then hurried to the dining room.
Their master usually didn't ask for anything, so of course they had to do their best to fulfill this request.
The kitchen had all the ingredients, and soon Yin Zhuo was drinking hot milk tea.
The taste is no worse than modern ones, and the ingredients are all natural.
Yin Zhuo asked someone to make a few more copies and sent them to the Empress Dowager, her mother and her sisters.
Yin Zhuo also brought a few portions to be eaten when Kangxi and Yinzhen returned from court.
Kangxi won't be back for a while.
The vaccine for smallpox was actually developed, and the first batch of people have already been vaccinated. Most people are no different from normal except that the vaccination site is a little red and swollen, and they don't even have a fever.
Some people also developed fever, but the fever went away after taking medicine.
This therapeutic effect alone is much better than the symptoms after smallpox vaccination.
Yinreng was afraid that the emperor had forgotten about him and would not take him to find Xiaoliu, so he went to court as usual today and could not wait to report the result.
Sure enough, Kangxi was very happy.
After all these days, there is finally some good news.
"Is it really as the prince said?"
Kangxi looked at the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, hoping to get a definite answer from him.
The court envoy's beard was so excited that it jumped up and down. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. This is a great discovery. Your Majesty is truly as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."
The envoy of the court was almost crying. He wanted to leave his name in history.
Kangxi was so excited that he kept saying "good!" "Good! Keep researching. My reward is waiting for you."
The envoy immediately nodded in agreement.
The old man's excited movements became more agile.
Yinreng's heart could not calm down for a long time.
Xiaoliu is indeed a good omen, he can even kill smallpox.
This is considered an achievement for him. He needs to guard the manor well in the next few days to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from coming here to cause trouble.
The ministers were confused.
No, what’s going on between you and your son?
How did they secretly research and discover smallpox?
This cowpox should be the same as human smallpox, right?
Can the one on the cow be the same as the one on the human?
The director of the Imperial Hospital was the same and actually joined in.
What happened during the days when they paid back the money?
Moreover, the emperor was furious last night, and it was said that the imperial guards were alarmed, and all the palace servants in the Qianqing Palace fell to their knees.
What’s more, the Sixth Prince never came out after entering the Qianqing Palace!
This makes people at a loss for words.
Why is Sixth Prince so clingy now that his health has improved?
She even wanted to sleep with the emperor. She is so shameless even at this age.
Those who were thinking of marrying off the Sixth Prince's daughters now that the prince was well have stopped thinking about it.
It seems that the Sixth Prince has only recovered physically, but not mentally.
And yesterday she actually took the emperor to a dirty and messy vegetable market.
That vegetable market had been used for beheading, but the emperor didn't think it was unlucky and actually went there anyway.
It would have been fine if they all went, but in the end the Third Prince also took the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince with him to go once.
There is no need to describe how busy the vegetable market was last night. The people they sent to investigate stayed there all night but found nothing.
If they were not afraid of being caught by the Nine-Gate Admiral, they would have wanted to keep someone there to observe for another day.
Why doesn’t the Sixth Prince go to court?
Alas, they couldn't find anyone they wanted.
Could this cowpox be related to the Sixth Prince?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned the Sixth Prince.
"Your Majesty, I don't want any reward from you. This is all due to my sixth brother's efforts."
The ministers were numb. Sure enough, it was the Sixth Prince again.
Sixth Prince, if you have the ability, don't be a coward and come out to confront them head-on.
What's the matter with hiding behind the emperor and the prince and making trouble all the time?
Kangxi was indeed delighted: "The prince is right, Xiaoliu should be rewarded, but I will keep it for him first."
Yinzhen was confused, and Yinreng was also confused.
What's the meaning of keeping this, Father Emperor?
How can a reward be saved?
That's not a reward.
Kangxi noticed that his sons and ministers looked at him in a strange way, so he coughed and said, "I am doing this for your brothers' sake. You are all bald princes. If I confer a title on Xiaoliu, you will not be able to face it."
Yinzhen, Yinreng, Yinzhi and five others had red faces.
Your Majesty, now that you say this, we feel even more embarrassed!
Is it their fault that their younger brother is so outstanding?
They are innocent too.
The ministers felt that they were shown off by Kangxi.
Is the emperor secretly showing off?
Absolutely!
As expected, the Sixth Prince is the Emperor's biggest trump card.
Many members of the Prince's Party were getting anxious.
What's wrong with the prince?
How could he give up the credit he had earned to the less famous Sixth Prince?
The Sixth Prince is a short-lived man.
The prince was simply helping him carry the load and suffered a huge loss.
I’m afraid the Sixth Prince doesn’t know yet, let alone the possibility that he will die one day.
This is simply lowering yourself.
Yinreng didn't know that the ministers on his side were getting anxious.
He doesn't care because he is still the crown prince.
But Yinzhi and Yinzhen were anxious.
Although Yinzhen felt embarrassed, he still agreed and said, "I think your father's approach is very good."
As for what's so wonderful about it, he didn't say.
Anyway, Xiaoliu said that he would be crowned king in the end, so the other brothers could embarrass themselves if they wanted to. He was now praying that Xiaoliu would be crowned with him.
Then he still saved his face as the eldest brother.
The ministers are all numb, and the eldest prince has lost all his face.
Kangxi had his own considerations.
What he was worried about was, what if Xiaoliu was granted a title and wanted to leave the palace to build his own house?
With his physique, would it be okay if he wasn't watching?
Regardless of whether Xiaoliu thought it was feasible or not, Kangxi didn't think it was feasible anyway.
