Chapter 40: The 40th Day of Wanting to Die

Kangxi drank the milk tea happily and even ate the black stuff.

Not to mention it's quite chewy.

The other three brothers also drank this kind of thing for the first time. They originally thought that it would be the same as the milk tea that Xiaoliu brought them last time, with a strong smell of mutton, but they didn’t expect that this time it was actually sweet.

Especially Yinzhen, he felt much better after drinking it, and he also found the densely packed words on the memorials much more pleasing to the eye.

To put it bluntly, he didn't know what the significance of submitting this memorial was.

Is it to tell the emperor that the peach blossoms on the mountain are blooming?

Are you okay?

Yinzhen really wanted to complain, but as soon as the thought came out, he suppressed it.

He actually learned bad habits from Xiaoliu.

But I feel good.

Yinzhen frowned. Will they keep coming here to deal with these memorials after they leave court?

What does the emperor do?

What can Kangxi do? He is thinking.

The situation in the Forbidden City is not as peaceful as it seems.

For example, the Manchu nobles looked down on Han officials, while Han officials thought the Manchu nobles were reckless.

Anyway, both sides are fighting openly and secretly.

Kangxi also spent a lot of time and effort in handling this matter.

Now Kangxi's actions are touching upon the common interests of both parties. I wonder if they will unite.

Kangxi tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes dim and unclear.

On the other side, Yin Zhuo had been in a daze for half an hour.

Help! He is just an ordinary college student. Although he is a system, he has no skills at all!

I don’t even have a golden finger for photographic memory!

He is just a weak, helpless and pitiful man.

No, with his small body now, he can't even be considered a big man.

At most, he is a tall boy.

He is still an uneducated high school boy.

This Yin Zhuo really hasn't had much memory lessons, which is why Yin Zhuo reacted so strongly when Xiao Shisi mentioned the Shangshufang.

The only few pieces of classical Chinese literature he learned from childhood to university, he has almost forgotten them now.

His current cultural level is probably not even as good as Fourteen's.

Yin Zhuo wanted to cry but had no tears. He seemed to be the dumbest among the three brothers born to his mother.

The young eunuch who had just gone out to do work has returned. He brought the cakes that the Sixth Prince had ordered and looked at the rice paper on the Sixth Prince's desk curiously.

I want to see what is written on it that can make the Sixth Prince so worried that he cries.

What I saw was a huge turtle lying on the rice paper, taking up the entire piece of paper.

There is a strange tic-tac-toe pattern painted on the turtle's shell. Among the nine areas, two or three of them are marked with crosses and circles.

The young eunuch was confused. Could this be some strange witchcraft?

The little eunuch's face turned green.

It's fine that the Sixth Prince had a last hurrah and came back to life, but how come he was also involved in witchcraft?

Witchcraft will cost you your head.

With a "bang", the plate in the little eunuch's hand suddenly fell onto the table, making a noise.

Yin Zhuo was so scared that the brush in his hand shook, leaving two ink spots on the white rice paper.

When he saw the eunuch coming back, he quickly covered the drawing paper, put the brush on the inkstone, and rubbed his eyes: "Why didn't you say anything?"

He almost fell into the circle, luckily his hands were steady.

As Yin Zhuo was writing, he discovered something important: he was not good at calligraphy.

After all, he didn't have the money to go to cram school before.

So he taught himself all these, which resulted in him being able to only write big characters and not small characters.

Only the space big enough for the palm of your hand to write a word. If it is smaller, the strokes will be blurred together and you can't see what word is written at all, but just a round ink ball.

But Yin Zhuo didn't notice that there was ink on his index finger, so when he rubbed his eyes, the right eye circle turned black.

Young eunuch: ...

He felt that it would be better to die, as living seemed to be more difficult.

He seemed to have inadvertently learned a lot of embarrassing things about the Sixth Prince.

The young eunuch quickly bowed his head and knelt beside him: "Grandpa... Grandpa, Grandpa... bring the cakes over."

Yin Zhuo didn't understand what happened to him. When he was pinching a cake and putting it into his mouth, he realized that his hands were covered in black.

Yin Zhuo: …

His face darkened, and the young eunuch felt that the atmosphere in the room had become low and he began to tremble all over.

Yin Zhuo said in a low voice: "Did you see it?"

The young eunuch put his hands on the ground and dared not say a word.

Yin Zhuo pursed his face: "Tsk, you are so timid, following me, does that mean I am not good to you? Why are you afraid of me?"

Yin Zhuo felt that he had been friendly enough, so why did the little eunuch still look so scared?

The young eunuch thought that the Sixth Prince was a good person.

He is friendly, but I just feel that the Sixth Prince is so extraordinary that he is not like an ordinary person.

The young eunuch couldn't explain this feeling.

I just feel that the Sixth Prince, who was able to win the heart of the Emperor, might be the most powerful person in the Forbidden City.

Instead, he saw the Sixth Prince's panda eyes, which somewhat damaged his image as an immortal.

"Master, I didn't see anything."

The young eunuch said fearfully.

Yin Zhuo:?

He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand.

"What did you see? Didn't I just draw a big turtle? And your hands were black because you took a piece of cake without washing your hands..."

After Yin Zhuo finished talking, he felt that this was not a big deal.

He doesn't understand but respects that people kneel down at every turn.

After all, some people may want to take advantage of such small details to cause trouble.

The young eunuch raised his head and pointed at the Sixth Prince's face: "Master's eyes..."

Yin Zhuo's face froze, then he calmly took out his handkerchief and wiped his face: "It's okay, don't blame me for silencing you if you tell anyone."

The young eunuch nodded, and the fear on his face faded away, and even showed a hint of smile.

Yin Zhuo was silent.

"Did someone tell you something?"

Yin Zhuo thought that the young eunuch had become strange after going out.

The young eunuch scratched his head in embarrassment: "Senior, please give me some advice. I was inexperienced before and didn't respect the Sixth Prince enough."

That’s right, the Sixth Prince was so good to him that he felt a little overwhelmed.

But when someone pointed this out, the young eunuch felt that even if he had ten lives, they would not be enough for him to lose.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Fortunately, the Sixth Prince is a good man.

Yin Zhuo looked at the young eunuch thoughtfully, then sighed: "Don't be afraid, you are the first person I saw after I opened my eyes. This is fate..."

As soon as he said this, the little eunuch began to tremble and his face turned pale. The change was extremely obvious.

Yin Zhuo was stunned.

"Are you ill?"

The young eunuch was speechless, and his heart was a little broken. Sixth Prince! What you said is too scary.

Yin Zhuo also realized that what he said was a little strange, and he quickly said: "Master, you are the first person I saw after my rebirth..."

The little eunuch continued to tremble.

Yin Zhuo said directly: "Get lost, go downstairs and have a rest, don't bother me today."

Sure enough, these words worked. The little eunuch stopped shaking, his voice became normal, his face regained its color, and he walked out of the door in a hurry, and even closed the door considerately.

Yin Zhuo ignored everything else and continued to paint his turtle.

Then, as he was painting but still had no ideas, he simply went out to find something to do.

The young eunuch felt a little disappointed when he saw that his master went out without calling him.

It seems that what the eunuchs in the kitchen said was not acceptable to the Sixth Prince, and it even offended the Sixth Prince.

When he went to get some cakes today, the people in the Yu kitchen, who had been severely tortured by Yin Zhuo, looked at him unkindly, but they still gave him the food.

Then, while he was waiting, the butler of the kitchen came out to chat with him.

All the questions he asked were about the Sixth Prince, and then he kindly told him how to please his master.

Only then did the young eunuch realize how presumptuous he had been before.

She also followed the Sixth Prince out of the palace.

But the young eunuch always felt that the kitchen manager was trying to trick him, so he only told him how he served his master, and said nothing about what the Sixth Prince did with the Emperor, or how they got along.

He is inexperienced, but not stupid.

The young eunuch was frightened, and when he came back and saw the Sixth Prince drawing a turtle, he suddenly lost his strength in his hands.

Moreover, he found that he had become accustomed to looking at the Sixth Prince at eye level, which was extremely disrespectful.

So the young eunuch frightened himself and ended up killing himself.

The young eunuch's hands were still shaking, as if he could feel the force of the two pats the kitchen manager had given him on the shoulders.

My shoulders were almost hit so hard that one side was lower than the other.

Could it be that he had offended the steward of the kitchen at some point?

That's impossible, he has always been following the Sixth Prince.

Maybe the Sixth Prince offended the Kitchen Guard?

That's not right. The people in the kitchen all smiled at the Sixth Prince.

But when did the change begin?

It seems like today is a little strange.

The young eunuch shook his head, telling himself not to think too much.

Yin Zhuo went out to look for inspiration and met his lovely sister Wu Rina.

"Urina, why are you here?"

Yin Zhuo walked up to hug his little sister, and seeing her soft smile, he felt much better.

Wujina covered her mouth and coughed: "I told my mother that I should come over to play with my brother. My mother said that my fourteenth brother was disobedient..."

The little girl explained the reason why she came here.

Yin Zhuo tidied his hair and listened patiently.

"So Wuzhina is here to look for her brother, right?"

Wuzhina nodded, then shook her head: "And Fourteenth Brother."

"We play by ourselves and don't ask him to play with us. He is really annoying."

Yin Zhuo coaxed his sister, and then said with disgust.

Wu Rina tilted her head and said, "Okay, then I will play with Sixth Brother today, and Fourteenth Brother tomorrow, ahem."

As he spoke, he started coughing again.

Yin Zhuo's smile disappeared when he heard her cough, and even his brows wrinkled: "Wurina, why do you keep coughing?"

Wuzhina covered her mouth and said, "I will cough in winter."

Yin Zhuo understood. This was an old problem.

"Have you taken your medicine?"

Wujina hesitated for a moment, but finally said sincerely, "It's bitter."

Yin Zhuo understood, this means he didn’t drink.

Yin Zhuo squatted down and hugged her: "But if you cough, how can I take you to fly kites in a few days?"

Wujina's eyes widened instantly, and she was a little anxious: "Just go back and drink it."

[Ah, my sister is so cute. I won’t live long, so I must make sure my sister lives a long life.]

Yin Zhuo doesn't want such a lovely sister to go back to the same old path in life.

Wuzhina also heard it. She pursed her lips and blinked: "Wuzhina, take the medicine well, and brother should be well too."

Yin Zhuo casually said, "Of course."

Then, Yin Zhuo stood up and took the little girl's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to pick paper ibis today."

Wujina immediately became excited and was extremely curious along the way.

But Yin Zhuo saw that she was breathing in cold wind, so he found a handkerchief and barely covered her mouth and nose. Although it didn't help much, it did prevent the little girl from breathing in cold wind in her stomach.

Yin Zhuo originally planned to visit the Imperial Household Department, and Wujina had never been there, so he took her along.

Today he came just to see the scale of this place and to check it out.

[The Imperial Household Department is an important place that controls palace affairs. The position of the Minister-in-Chief is not low, being a second-rank official, and is usually held by Manchu princes or ministers.]

Wujina blinked, not understanding why Sixth Brother suddenly started talking about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Weren’t they going to look for the paper iris?

But with her brother around, Wujina was not afraid at all and let her sixth brother lead her.

Yin Zhuo pinched her little hand and thought about the structure of the Imperial Household Department. It can only be said that the power of the Imperial Household Department is extremely great.

The emperor is really relieved.

Yin Zhuo was speechless.

If something happened to the Imperial Household Department, I'm afraid the entire Forbidden City would stop functioning.

This is also the reason why those people are becoming more and more daring and starting to engage in monopoly.

[The Emperor trusts the Minister too much. How stupid.]

A small question mark popped up on Wujina’s forehead: Is her brother scolding the Emperor?
