Since Yinzuo didn't want to eat, Kangxi didn't force him. When he heard that he wanted to get up and sit for a while, he didn't call anyone in. He stood up, put down the bowl in his hand, bent down and reached out to help Yinzuo up from the bed. Fearing that he would not be comfortable sitting like this, he considerately turned him around, then went to the side to get a cushion and placed it on the uninjured part of his back for him to lean on.
"Ama Khan, why haven't I seen Fourth Brother all day today? Is he busy over there?"
When Yinzuo first woke up, he didn't see Yinzhen and thought he was busy outside. But when it was almost dark and his fourth brother still hadn't come, he felt something was wrong. It didn't make sense. He had been awake for so long, his fourth brother couldn't have not received the news. He was very sure that his fourth brother still had some brotherly love for him over the years. If he didn't come now, he must have been delayed by something.
"Your fourth brother is not in the main camp right now. After you were injured, I ordered the army to camp here. That's why we're still here at the place where you were assassinated. We suddenly broke camp this time to go to the White Tower to see off the army that was about to go on the expedition. This was a sudden incident, so I have to stay here with you. I can only ask your fourth brother to go to the White Tower on my behalf."
Yinzuo nodded when he heard this, and he said, if his fourth brother knew that he had woken up, why didn't he come to see him? Speaking of injuries, Yinzuo suddenly remembered the assassin who had attacked him before.
"Khan Ama, have those assassins been caught? Do you know who sent them?"
Yinzuo had already lost a lot of weight after spending more than half a month in the Zhenghong Banner. Now he was injured and in a coma for several days without eating or drinking, coupled with the pain, he naturally lost even more weight. His weight loss made his two eyes, which were not small to begin with, on his small face look even bigger. At this moment, his eyes were sparkling, and there was an inexplicable sense of humor in his eyes.
"Don't worry. Aside from the assassins who were shot and killed during the melee, we've captured all the others. You can't guess who sent them, but you don't have to worry about that. You just need to focus on recuperating. Once your fourth brother returns and your condition stabilizes, we'll set off back to Beijing."
After hearing what Kangxi said, Yinzo understood. It turned out that his current misfortune was caused by Galdan. Yinzo had also read about Galdan's legendary and magnificent life when he was in school. He used to think that this man was a great man. After all, he forced Kangxi to lead three personal expeditions, and finally ended up committing suicide, which was quite sad. But now he only had one thought: he deserved it, and it was really a pity for him to die like this.
Although Yinzuo was awake at this time, Kangxi did not let him move. He just asked Liang Jiugong to find two more screens to separate the resting place of him and his son into two relatively private spaces. In the next few days, Yinzuo thoroughly experienced the treatment like an emperor. Kangxi took care of his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating himself, or Liang Jiugong assisted him. He lived a very comfortable life.
But no matter how comfortable the day was, no one would be in a good mood if they stayed in bed for too long. The weather was nice outside that day, and Yinzuo took advantage of the fact that Kangxi and the generals went to the nearby tent to discuss matters, and ordered people to carry him and his bed outside the imperial tent.
"Eunuch Liang, please go in and get those pillows for me, and then get a cloak to cover me. Go and do what you need to do. I'll call you if I want to come in."
The weather at the end of March was actually still a bit cold, but the sun was shining brightly today, and Yinzuo didn't really feel cold even though he was covered with a quilt and wrapped in a cloak. He was feeling drowsy in the sun, but was suddenly awakened by a burst of greetings. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yinzhen standing in front of him!
"Fourth brother, you are finally back. After I woke up, I asked Khan Ama and found out that you went to the White Pagoda. Your trip went smoothly."
Yinzuo has been living a prosperous life these days with good food and good treatment. Compared with Yinzuo, Yinzhen's life these days is simply a world of difference. When he left, Yinzuo was still in a critical period, and his life or death was uncertain. He did not dare to disobey Kangxi's order. Although he left easily at that time, Yinzuo was his own brother. How could he not be worried? But even though he was tormented in his heart, he still had to do this job, and not only had to do it, but also had to do it beautifully.
After seeing off the army, Yinzhen did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately returned with his men, galloping all the way back to the camp. Because he had to see the emperor, in order not to lose his manners in front of him, he delayed a little time to go back and pack up. Worried about Yinzuo's injury, he almost jogged all the way. Guess what, before he even reached the imperial tent, he saw the seriously injured man basking in the sun and drowsy.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother's trip went smoothly. But you didn't stay inside in such a cold weather and came out here to get some fresh air. I think you haven't suffered enough from your previous crime, right? Eunuch Liang, send someone to carry him back. If he behaves like this again in the future, you will notify Khan Ama."
Yinzuo originally wanted to tell his fourth brother that he really didn't feel cold at all, but when he looked up and saw the extremely serious expression on his fourth brother's face, he chose to shut up out of tact. Well, if his brother felt he was cold, then he would be cold.
When Kangxi came back from the meeting, he heard Yinzhen's voice educating Yinzuo before he even entered the imperial tent. The old father who was protecting his son immediately became unhappy. He had just been frightened by Yinzuo's life-threatening appearance a few days ago. Now he finally woke him up, and he seemed to be doing very well in the past few days.
"Fourth Brother, you are really so arrogant. As soon as you came back, you ran to me to teach your brother a lesson. Who gave you the courage?"
Kangxi's sudden voice really scared the two brothers. Compared to Yinzuo who was simply frightened by Kangxi's voice, Yinzhen knelt down directly.
"Khan Amar, please forgive me, my son is just..."
Seeing that his brother had been hesitating for a long time without being able to explain clearly, Yinzuo hurriedly joined in.
"Khan Ama, Fourth Brother only started to lecture me because he saw me going out to bask in the sun just now and was worried that I would catch a cold and get sick. You see, he is also doing this for my own good, so please don't scare him, okay?"
Kangxi had just returned and naturally didn't know that Yinzuo had just been out. When he heard him say this, he immediately realized that he had wronged the fourth brother. This kid Yinzuo really needed a lesson.
"Get up, I was wrong about you just now. This bastard went out to do things as soon as he felt better. He really needs to be taught a lesson. Yinzhen, you did a good job."
After thanking him, Yinzhen stood aside and glanced at Yinzuo, who was happily bantering with Kangxi. Yinzhen felt a mixture of emotions. Was he envious? Jealous? Perhaps a little of both, but some things, even if envied, could never be obtained. And some people, even if jealous, still wanted to be kind to him. They were born into the royal family, naturally lacking the word "purity", but... born in darkness, but who doesn't yearn for light...
