Lin Wei Kai gave Yinreng a quick examination and concluded that Yinreng's arm was broken.
When Lin Weikai used a splint to fix Yinreng's arm, the pain reached another level.
Yinreng gasped frequently.
"Be gentle!"
Kangxi watched from the side, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
As soon as he finished his scolding, Yinreng's inner voice sounded in his ears at the right time -
"Hypocritical! Hiss..."
Kangxi's eyes darkened for a moment, and then quickly turned into helplessness.
He was the one who caused Yinreng's injuries, so his current worries do seem a bit hypocritical.
But...why would he do that?
It’s all because this bastard spoke so harshly!
Kangxi glanced at Lin Wei Kai, and finally moved away from the bed in frustration.
Until Lin Weikai tied Yinreng's arms, Kangxi did not move closer to the bed.
After Lin Wei Kai had explained everything, Kangxi sent everyone away.
After a long silence, Kangxi spoke.
"Whether you believe it or not, everything I do is for you. Even if you really don't have children, the throne in my hands can only be passed on to you!"
Upon hearing this, Yinreng's eyelids twitched suddenly.
But when he turned around, he only saw Kangxi's departing back.
Yinreng's brows furrowed——
What does it mean that the throne can only be passed on to him?
The news that Yinreng's arm was broken by Kangxi quickly spread inside and outside the palace.
The reason why Kangxi kicked Yinreng was not made public, but it did not affect their speculation about Kangxi's intention.
It seems that the prince has lost his heart.
Chen Tingjing, the only one who knew the truth, hid at home and didn't even dare to go out.
...Although he didn't feel that he was very afraid of death, who would dislike living a long life?
For a long time afterwards, people in the court and the country were in turmoil, and civil officials and military generals began to openly move closer to the prince they valued.
The court began to form a pattern of division among the princes' factions.
Crown Prince Yinreng should have been the weakest among the princes, but due to the strong support of the upright civil officials headed by Chen Tingjing, the "Prince's Party" actually became the focus of the fight for the throne.
Yinreng was speechless.
Kangxi knew that he had no intention of seizing the throne, so he personally took action to build up forces and compete with his other sons for power.
The marriage between Jiu Gege and Shun Anyan could not be cancelled after all.
Yinreng passed the message to Yinzhen, asking him to keep an eye on Shun Anyan.
At the end of July, Yinzhen's mansion was completed, and he invited all his brothers to have a drink outside the palace.
This time, Kangxi showed mercy and released the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth from the palace.
Yin'er set up two tables in the mansion, one table for the older princes, and the other table where Yinsi sat with a group of little kids.
Yinzhen ran between two sides.
Yinreng sat in the main seat, with the eldest and ninth sons on his left and right respectively.
The princes often gathered together when they were young, but as they grew older, everyone had their own things to do, and even during festivals, they had few opportunities to sit together and chat.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Yinreng and Yinzhi felt that they were old, so they did not join Yin'er and the others in going crazy. The two of them chatted idly and did not drink many glasses of wine.
"Ni Chuhe is getting older, you should be more considerate of her."
Yinreng glanced at the two half-grown children, Thirteen and Fourteen, and suddenly thought of the eldest daughter of the eldest son.
In fact, Ni Chuhe has just celebrated her eleventh birthday, but according to the Manchu calculation method, she is already thirteen years old.
It won't take a few years before we can discuss marriage.
Yinzhi was stunned.
"Considering what?"
"Consider finding her a husband in the capital."
Yinreng had no expression on his face.
Yinzhi frowned.
"She's still young."
The marriage age of Manchus is actually not as early as that of Han people. It is generally around 18 years old, and only a very small number of them will marry early due to external reasons.
"What I mean is that you can look for candidates in the capital, don't be like Ninth Sister and the others..."
Hearing "Ninth Sister", Yinzhen also came over.
"What happened to Ninth Sister?"
Yinreng glanced at him.
"I told you to keep an eye on Shun Anyan. Did you spot anything?"
"No."
Yinreng shook his head.
"Ever since the Emperor granted the marriage, Shun Anyan has been spending his time in the Tong family and the Imperial Palace. My men haven't found anything unusual."
"This kid is quite good at pretending..."
Yinreng muttered something, then moved closer to Yinzhi.
"You are the one who knows the most about the conflict between Concubine De and the first and last ladies. Moreover...back then, you refused to help the Tong family persuade the first and last ladies. They might not have held this against Ninth Sister..."
"Ninth sister, you're definitely not going to have a good life if you marry her. Shun Anyan is a wolf in sheep's clothing. You'd better keep a close eye on him."
Yinzhen frowned, then agreed solemnly.
"My brother knows."
The eldest and third brother who were in the middle and listened to the whole thing said: "..."
Should they thank the second and fourth brothers for not treating them as outsiders?
Otherwise, just be a...
On the second day after the housewarming party, Yinzhen happily ran to ask Kangxi for money.
More than half a year later, the wealth accumulated by Yinzhen from Kangxi had reached a terrifying amount of 3,637,723 taels and 2 qian.
Yinzhen pointed to the amount of silver in the account book,
"Father, your son only wants three million, six hundred and thirty-seven thousand seven hundred taels. I won't need the rest."
Kangxi: “…”
Twenty-three taels is also called change?
Kangxi was annoyed: "You just opened a government office, why do you need so much silver?"
The excitement on Yin'er's face dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stared at Kangxi.
"Isn't the Emperor planning to default on his debt?"
Kangxi's face darkened.
"What do you mean by refusing to pay?!"
"If you don't want to default on your debt, why don't you give your son the money he deserves?"
"I didn't say no!"
Yin'er's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Kangxi with a smile.
"Where is the silver? Is it in your private vault? Okay, son, I'll go get it right away!"
While Kangxi was still in a daze, Yinzhen had already rushed to the door.
"return!"
Seeing Yinzhen disappear at the door without looking back, Kangxi became anxious and hurried out to chase him.
"Rebellious son! Come back to me immediately!"
Halfway through the chase, Kangxi suddenly stopped. Why was he so anxious?
Without his warrant, no one would open the door for him even if Yinzhen shouted at the top of his lungs.
So Kangxi calmly returned to his desk and waited for Yinzhen to return in defeat.
However, after waiting for a long time, what he got was not the sad-faced Yinzhen, but the sad-faced manager of the private treasury.
