When Yinzhen said he needed to rest, he really meant it and didn't take it lightly at all.
So Yinzhen spent every day "resting" with Tong Cheng'er in the room. As for how he rested, only the person who had been drugged with potent drugs could truly understand.
Emperor Kangxi turned a blind eye to Yinzhen's actions, since Yinzhen had suffered injustice but still considered the Crown Prince's reputation, so Kangxi couldn't really say anything to Yinzhen.
The authenticity of Yinzhen's recuperation is no longer important.
Yinzhen didn't show up for two days in a row, and finally someone realized something was wrong, so they started making inquiries.
The Crown Prince's actions were not kept secret. Although he cleaned up the mess, those who went that day were all princes and noblemen, people the Crown Prince couldn't keep quiet about, so the news still leaked out.
Although little information has been released and the details are somewhat ambiguous, it is precisely this veiled nature that increases the credibility of the information.
And so it became lively.
When the Crown Prince found out, he couldn't help but get angry and threw a tantrum in his study.
"Go and investigate who leaked this information."
Even the crown prince fears the crime of harming his younger brother!
After saying this, the Crown Prince instructed, "Prepare some things to send to my fourth brother."
"yes"
In Yinzhen's courtyard.
Su Peisheng entered the room with a smile and reported: "Your Highness, Madam, the Crown Prince has sent some brocade and jade from Jiangnan."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen asked, "What kind of brocade and jade?"
Su Peisheng mentioned two names.
Yinzhen couldn't help but chuckle: "It must be hard for the Crown Prince. His attitude towards delivering the gifts is so perfunctory. Put the gifts away and send someone to thank the Crown Prince. As for me, just say that I need to rest for a few more days."
The apology wasn't sincere enough. He doesn't lack those things, but sending out nearly out-of-season items as an apology is questionable. It's unclear whether it was the Crown Prince's idea or someone close to him acting on their own.
Su Peisheng: Yes
Tong Cheng'er watched from the side and handed him a cup of tea: "When do you plan to recover?"
Yinzhen: "What's wrong, Cheng'er? Are you getting impatient with me?"
Tong Cheng'er glared at him. If he weren't so troublesome, would she be hoping he would get some rest soon?
Yinzhen smiled and said, "I can't afford to waste a few days of peace and quiet. As for the Crown Prince, it would be a problem if I were to compromise too easily."
Tong Cheng'er thought for a moment and asked, "The Crown Prince did something really disgusting, so you're not going to do anything?"
Yinzhen said, "I don't need to do anything; someone will do everything for me."
He's not made of clay; he can't remain unmoved when someone tries to undermine his male dignity.
Tong Cheng'er didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
Yinzhen said, "Although my eldest brother didn't come this time, my eighth brother did."
Tong Cheng'er hadn't been influenced by Qing Dynasty dramas and novels, so she knew nothing about the Eighth Prince's abilities.
When Yinzhen mentioned it, Tong Cheng'er remembered the Eighth Prince. Tong Cheng'er didn't have a deep impression of him. In her memory, the Eighth Prince had a gentle temperament and was somewhat scholarly.
Tong Cheng'er had seen many of these types, so she didn't find anything special about them.
"Would Eighth Brother allow the Crown Prince to suffer a loss?"
It wasn't that Tong Cheng'er lacked confidence in the Eighth Prince; it was mainly because the Crown Prince's position was extraordinary, and the Eighth Prince wasn't particularly outstanding. Even though the First Prince had left people for the Eighth Prince to use.
It won't be easy for the Eighth Prince to deal with the Crown Prince.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen said, "Although Eighth Brother may not seem like a remarkable person, he is certainly not to be underestimated."
Yinzhen's impression of the Eighth Prince came from a dream; the Eighth Prince was a natural at making friends.
A fox spirit, born with and raised with skill, is most adept at bewitching people.
In his dream, countless people willingly pledged their allegiance to him, a man without power.
Even Yinzhen (the Yongzheng Emperor) had some respect for this man's abilities.
Tong Cheng'er became curious: "Is it really that amazing?"
Yinzhen smiled and didn't say much. He didn't want to talk about those things. The Yongzheng in the dream could have been much better off. Half of the credit should be attributed to the Eighth Prince. How could he not be amazing?
Tong Cheng'er laughed and said, "Then I'll have to take a good look."
As Yinzhen had predicted, the Eighth Prince was indeed preparing to deal with the Crown Prince.
The Eighth Prince found someone who was also involved in the night the Crown Prince drugged him, so he naturally knew the details clearly and was very resourceful in his actions.
It may be related to his upbringing. The Eighth Prince's birth mother, Consort Liang, was controlled by Consort Hui. Consort Hui treated the Eighth Prince well, but she wasn't entirely devoted to him.
Therefore, although the Eighth Prince had no worries about food and clothing, he suffered a lot of verbal abuse, especially from the First Prince.
However, he was still subject to the control of the First Prince and his mother, which fostered the Eighth Prince's talent for disguise. In front of the First Prince, the Eighth Prince always appeared to be obedient.
The eldest prince didn't say he completely trusted the eighth prince, but he wasn't very wary of him. After the eighth prince did a few impressive things for the eldest prince, the eldest prince became even less guarded.
It was only during this tour of Jiangnan that the First Prince entrusted his people to the Eighth Prince's command.
In the Eighth Prince's study, he was speaking with an accompanying official, his words were very proper, and the official listened with great excitement.
After speaking, the Eighth Prince personally escorted the person out of the study, as if afraid of neglecting them.
The Eighth Prince's behavior made the official feel respected.
"I will do my best to handle whatever you have said, Eighth Master."
The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Qi."
"Eighth Master, you're too kind. This servant will take his leave."
The Eighth Prince saw the person off, and only when he returned to his study and was alone did he suppress his smile and begin grinding ink.
