Chapter 4: The Fourth Day of Wanting to Die

The two of us just stared at each other. If you didn't move, I wouldn't move either.

But Yin Zhuo suddenly noticed that Yin Zhen's face was so red.

Those red spots don't look normal. Could this kid be sick?

Seeing that the little man in shorts was about to run away, Yin Zhuo ordered directly: "Catch him back for me!"

Four or five of the eight or nine people serving behind him rushed out and headed straight for where Yinzhen was.

Yin Zhuo flicked the white mark left by the pastry hitting his body with satisfaction, bent down, picked up the "weapon" on the ground and placed it on the table beside him.

Yinzhen on the opposite side didn't expect that his sixth brother had no intention of letting him go this time and even sent so many people to catch him.

Yinzhen's eyes were filled with fear. He just came to see whether Sixth Brother was still alive or not. There was no need to worry about him like that.

Yin Zhuo pinched the white pastry with his fair hands and asked someone to put Yin Zhen down: "Did you do this?"

Yinzhen fell to the ground with both feet, looked at him unhappily and said, "It was Grandpa who threw it! Grandpa is here to punish you, the liar! You are obviously well, why are you still pretending to be sick?"

He even lied to his mother and told her that he was dying. He doesn't look like he's dying at all.

The table was filled with tea, cakes and various snacks, which was a real treat.

He doesn’t even have to go to the study room for classes. Yinzhen feels very resentful when he thinks about this.

Yin Zhuo saw that he spoke in a very arrogant manner and was very arrogant.

[Oh, it seems Yinzhen is really a naughty child. No wonder Yinzhen doesn't like him. He must have been against his fourth brother because he was not liked by him when he was a child. In the end...tsk tsk.]

Yinzhen's originally angry face turned into a confused one. He seemed to have heard a strange sound?

[I don’t like rude kids either. Next time I have to discuss with my fourth brother how to spank kids. If Fourteen is still naughty, should I spank him on the buttocks or on the palms? Oh! By the way, Fourteen must be in school at this age. In that case, let’s punish him by making him copy books.]

Yin Zhuo has never had any naughty children since he was a child. Every child is very well behaved when they see him.

This is the first time I've met someone like Fourteen who starts throwing pastries at me right away.

Yinzhen listened to the strange voice saying how to punish him, and he touched his butt in fear, then put his hands behind his back and covered his butt with his palms, and swallowed nervously. Instead of letting him copy books, Yinzhen felt that it was better to be beaten.

But now he was so scared that tears came out, but suddenly he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, it was the voice of the sixth brother in front of him!

But Yinzhen was still frightened. Wuwuwu, it seemed that Sixth Brother had learned ventriloquism at some point and was actually scaring him on purpose.

He stiffened his neck and asked, "Do you really want to beat me up?"

Seeing him like this, Yin Zhuo's hands really started to itch.

"How could that be? I will just take you to see your teacher. Fourteenth, tell Sixth why you didn't go to class today? Let me guess if the material you are learning is too difficult, or you are too stupid to learn to skip class?"

Yinzhen was hit in the heart, and his face turned red with anger: "You are a bad brother, I am not stupid! I am better than you!"

Seeing that he was so excited that he didn't even call him "Master", Yin Zhuo immediately continued, "Huhuhuhuhu, you see you've been poked, right? Since you said you're better than me, then I'll test you."

Yinzhen was extremely panicked. What he feared most was being questioned, but now he was being held down by Yin Zhuo.

He could only say stubbornly: "Go ahead and ask. You haven't been to the study room much anyway, so you must be dumber than me."

Ever since Yinzhen could remember, the Sixth Brother he saw had always stayed in this small courtyard, coughing every three steps and looking like he was about to run out of breath at any time. His desk in the upper study was always empty.

Suddenly, Yinzhen felt confident again.

Yin Zhuo was waiting for this sentence, and immediately asked the question: "The emperor went hunting and saw seven birds on a tree. He shot an arrow and hit one. How many birds were left on the tree?"

Yinzhen was originally very nervous, but after hearing the question, he sniffed disdainfully: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Yin Zhuo said exaggeratedly: "It seems that you already know the answer!"

"Hehe, of course there are six left." Yinzhen felt that his sixth brother was humiliating him. He should have already known such a simple numerology question.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, of course, of course. Even if the emperor comes, there will still be six!"

Yinzhen was asked anxiously and gave the final answer directly and shyly.

[Fourteen is indeed very stupid. My own brother is so stupid. Fortunately, I will die in three months.]

Yin Zhuo looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat hopeless, but not that hopeless.

Yinzhen suddenly became nervous. He went over the question in his mind again, and secretly counted on his fingers with his hands behind his back. Only after he was sure that he had made no mistake did he feel relieved.

Yin Zhuo shook his head.

Yinzhen's eyes widened, and suddenly he became a little suspicious.

Could it be that the Sixth Brother is the one who doesn't count?

That's right, he has been sick all the time, and his brain must be sick too.

Yin Zhuo was about to give the correct answer when he saw Fourteen's originally dissatisfied look turn into sympathy.

Sixth brother is so pitiful that he can't even do addition and subtraction within ten.

Yinzhen imitated Yin Zhuo's posture and looked up at the sky: "Alas, I am so desperate. My brother is ignorant."

Yin Zhuo: …

He hit Yinzhen on the head with a chestnut, and seeing the little guy holding his head with his hands and grimacing in pain, he suddenly felt relieved. If he had known this earlier, he would not have wasted words, it would have been more refreshing to just take action.

"The answer is that there are no birds in the tree anymore."

"Liar! The remaining six birds are still there!"

Yin Zhuo raised his chin to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch said positively: "The six birds were scared away by the emperor's arrows, so Fourteenth Prince, our Sixth Master is right, there are no birds on the tree anymore."

After saying this, the young eunuch immediately retreated proudly, feeling extremely excited. His master was very smart and would surely live a long life.

He was the little eunuch who said he would die for Yin Zhuo when Yin Zhuo sat up that day. Now he has become Yin Zhuo's personal eunuch, working diligently and attentively, almost following Yin Zhuo closely.

There is no other way, everything is for the sake of my own life.

I hope Sixth Prince can hold on for a few more years so that he can earn more money, and when he dies, it will be something for his family to remember.

Yinzhen had a stunned look on his face, thinking that this was simply perverse logic. How could such a theory be true?

He opened his mouth: "You, you..."

Unable to catch his breath, Yinzhen fell over in anger.

Yin Zhuo: !!!

It’s over, he fainted from anger!

Kangxi was originally listening at the door, intending to see how Yin Zhuo would punish Fourteenth. However, who knew that Fourteenth could not catch his breath and fainted from anger.

Kangxi was so frightened that he immediately asked someone to call the imperial physician.

When Yin Zhuo saw Kangxi, his eyes turned black. It was over. Not only did he bully someone else's son, but he was also caught by the parents.

Yin Zhuo watched the palace maids carry Fourteen into the house. He hesitated on the imperial concubine's chair, wondering whether he should also faint.

As soon as Kangxi heard his thoughts, he saw Yin Zhuo had slumped down on the imperial concubine's chair and had considerately found a comfortable position.

Kangxi: ...

"Grandpa——"

The little eunuch was almost frightened to tears. Why did his grandfather also faint?

The young eunuch wanted to ask people to carry Yin Zhuo in, but was stopped by Kangxi.

"I'm here."

The palace servants were all shocked. The emperor really loved the Sixth Prince and didn't want to trouble anyone else, so he carried the Sixth Prince in himself.

Yin Zhuohun’s body froze. Kangxi hugged him?

[Wow——How could I deserve to be hugged by Emperor Kangxi! Well, you are the most handsome in my heart now, I don’t mind your ugliness.]

Kangxi almost threw the person in his arms away.

Kangxi stepped forward, carried the person into the house, and placed him on the bed.

Kangxi didn't even breathe during the whole process. Xiaoliu was too thin and had no weight at all. He didn't look like a 15-year-old prince at all.

Yin Zhuo was still lying there stiffly, wanting to open his eyes to see what was going on, but he didn't dare.

Until the imperial physician finished his diagnosis: "Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Prince has caught a cold."

Yin Zhuo immediately closed his eyes: "Quick, take him away, don't infect me, I'm weak."

Yin Zhuo couldn't believe he could survive if he caught a cold again.

Anyway, he knew that Fourteen would be fine, but he was not sure.

Dying of illness is the most painful way to die, and he doesn't want it.

Kangxi and the Imperial Physician: …

The Sixth Prince woke up very quickly.

Yin Zhen, who had just woken up, was caught off guard when he heard Yin Zhuo's words and immediately exploded: "Why didn't you say that you infected me? You made me faint!"

Yin Zhuo glared: "Don't slander me, be careful I might cough cough cough..."

Believe it or not!

Kangxi was annoyed by their quarrel and said in a chastising tone, "Be quiet."

Yinzhen shut up in fear. He was most afraid of the Emperor.

Especially when the Emperor went to the study to check their homework, he wished he could just disappear on the spot.

"Someone, send Fourteenth Prince back and lock him up for half a month to reflect on himself. Each of the palace maids around Fourteenth Prince will be given twenty lashes of the cane." Kangxi said sternly.

Yin Zhuo and Yin Zhen's buttocks both tensed.

Yinzhen left feeling aggrieved. He didn't have a cold. He was just fainted by his sixth brother.

In Yin Zhuo's small courtyard, after watching Yin Zhen being sent away, Yin Zhuo lay down obediently, looking very weak, trying to escape punishment.

But Kangxi didn't say anything for a long time, and Yin Zhuo felt a little uneasy.

He weakly raised his hand to defend himself, hoping that Kangxi would not punish him after punishing Fourteenth Prince: "Fourteenth Prince was not fainted by me. He was sick from the beginning, and his little face was red."

Kangxi said sternly, "I know it was wrong for him to skip classes to come to you. Not seeking medical advice when sick is the business of the palace maids, and it has nothing to do with you."

Yin Zhuo put his heart back into his stomach.

But the room became quiet again.

Yin Zhuo: …

[So, why don't you leave, old man? My legs are itchy and I want to stretch them.]

Kangxi, who was about to stand up, said:

"Old... I'm leaving now. Eat more. There's no meat on your butt."

Yin Zhuo looked at his leaving back, as if he had discovered something.

【Did Kangxi want to say something bad about me just now? 】

Kangxi, who hadn't even left the house yet, almost stumbled. What kind of swear word is "Laozi"?

He just almost told the old man off!

This Xiaoliu has no respect for him at all and is becoming more and more daring.

snort!

The prince was somewhere, and Fourteen was very angry when he returned, but then he thought that it would be okay if he didn't have to go to the study for half a month.

Who knew that Yin Zhuo had already anticipated this.

So when Yinzhen was resting and recuperating, he found that his sixth brother was very considerate and had someone record what was taught in the study every day for him so that he could study on his own.

Yinzhen: ...

After Yinzhen told this to Defei who came to visit him, Defei was very happy: "Oh, your sixth brother is so good to you. You two brothers should support each other. When you treat your sixth brother better, my mother will feel at ease."

After saying this, Defei looked at him with an expression that showed Yinzhen was ignorant.

That night, Yinzhen couldn't sleep, and then he started crying and reading by lamplight in the middle of the night.

“Woo woo woo…”

There was no one on his side.
