It was obvious that Kangxi's words just now were meant to shut Yinzhi up. How could Yinzhi, an adult, not hear it? Since Kangxi was unwilling to mention how Yinzuo was injured, Yinzhi naturally would not be so tactless as to keep asking. So he just went to the bed to take a look at Yinzuo, then walked aside to ask Doctor Wang how Yinzuo was doing.
Yinzuo needed to rest now. Kangxi was afraid that too many people would disturb his rest, so he simply sent Yinreng and Yinzhi back. He then ordered Liang Jiugong to send all the servants inside and outside the room out. For a moment, the only three people left in the huge room were Yinzuo lying on the bed, Kangxi sitting beside the bed holding Yinzuo's hand, and Liang Jiugong standing beside him.
"Yinzuo, get well soon, Father..."
Although Yinzuo was conscious for the next few days, his head hurt whenever he moved and he felt very dizzy. The imperial physician examined him but had no good solution and could only give him acupuncture to relieve his symptoms.
Yinzhi and his companions came here every day, but Kangxi was afraid that their coming and going would affect Yinzuo's rest, so he simply asked Liang Jiugong to keep them out. He only asked Doctor Wang to go out and tell them about Yinzuo's condition that day when they came. This situation lasted for seven or eight days until Yinzuo's condition stabilized. Liang Jiugong got Kangxi's permission to let them in, and Yinzhi and his companions were able to see Yinzuo.
"Sixth brother, I heard from Doctor Wang that you've been feeling dizzy for the past few days. How are you feeling today?"
"Sixth brother, does your head still hurt? The imperial physician came to see you today. What did he say?"
“Sixth Brother…”
Yinzuo was not dizzy to begin with, but now he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy again after hearing the voices of "Sixth Brother" in his ears. Yinreng was sitting beside Yinzuo's bed at this time. Seeing that he frowned slightly, he knew that he was uncomfortable because of the noise from Yin'er and the others, so he quickly spoke up to stop Yin'er and the others.
"Shut up, everyone! What did the imperial physician tell you before you came in? Your sixth brother needs to rest. How can he rest if you're making such a fuss? If you keep making a fuss, don't stay here! Stand still!"
If Yinreng was just talking, Yinzhi was much more direct. He picked up Yinzhen and Yinzuo in each hand and walked towards the door. He pushed them out without giving them any chance to resist, then came back and did the same to Thirteen and Fourteen as well. Now it was done. Only four brothers, Yinzhen, Yinreng, Yinqi and Yinzuo, were left in the room, and it suddenly became much quieter.
"Sixth brother, how are you feeling now? Is your head still hurting? Are you still dizzy?"
Without the noise from Yin'er and the others, Yinzuo naturally felt pretty good. He looked at his brothers who were looking at him with concern and shook his head slightly.
"Thank you, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Fifth Brother for your concern. I feel much better now. The wound on my head still hurts a little, but I'm not dizzy anymore. Don't worry. At this rate, I should be back to full health in a few days!"
Yinreng saw with his own eyes that day how Yinzuo was knocked unconscious by a chess box thrown by his Khan-father. Yinzuo's condition had been getting better and worse these days, and he had been worried about it. Now that he saw that he was fine, he felt relieved, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but remind him a few words!
"Sixth brother, although I know it's inappropriate to say this, I still want to remind you a few words. Khan Ama is Ama, but he is also the emperor. Khan Ama has Khan in front and Ama in the back. You can treat him as Ama and get close to him, but you must also respect him as the emperor. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky this time. Although you got hit on the head, you were spared the twenty strokes of the cane. Otherwise, you would have been lying in bed for ten days or half a month without being able to get up. Don't be so reckless next time..."
Yinreng's heartfelt words not only shocked Yinzo who was sitting by the bed, but also shocked Yinzhi and Yinqi beside him. Obviously, none of them expected that Yinreng would say such words to Yinzo in front of them. Their eyes couldn't help but look at Yinreng who was sitting by the bed.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? This is in the Khan's bedroom, and these words..."
Yinreng certainly knew that what he had just said in front of Yinzhi and the others was not appropriate, but he thought about it for a long time and still said it. When he heard Yinzhi's words, he turned to look at his elder brother and said.
"Brother, the one who got hit was the one on the bed, not me. Of course I know this is Khan Ama's bedroom. It is precisely because I know this is Khan Ama's bedroom that I chose to talk to Yinzuo here. Anyway, Khan Ama will know sooner or later, right?"
The reason why Yinreng chose to say such words at this time and place was indeed because he had his own considerations. First, he really wanted to give Yinzuo a reminder and didn't want him to anger Kangxi for the same reason in the future. Second, he now felt more and more that Kangxi was suspicious of him. As he said, Khan would eventually know everything he said and did. In order to prevent Kangxi from suspecting that he was trying to win over Yinzuo, he simply chose to say it here, in front of his eldest brother and others. Isn't this good for everyone?
Speaking of Yinreng's feelings towards Yinzuo, they were actually quite complicated. At first, he thought Yinzuo was a whetstone and a target that Kangxi had found for him, so he naturally felt a little guilty towards this brother who was five or six years younger than him. Later, as he saw Yinzuo becoming more and more favored by Kangxi, he felt a little jealous. But he was the crown prince, and how could a proud man like Yinreng admit that he was jealous of someone? So for a while, although his attitude towards Yinzuo did not show on the surface, he was extremely alienated in his heart.
But Yinzuo seemed to be born with more sunshine than them. Who doesn't like the sun? Yinzuo didn't seem like a child raised in this dark palace. He seemed to have no defenses against any of them. He truly regarded Khan Ama as his father and Yinzhen as his brother. He relied on them wholeheartedly and was even very kind to them, his brothers who were a generation apart.
Yinreng was jealous of Yinzo, but also envied him. He rejected Yinzo, but at the same time he longed to have a younger brother like Yinzhen who truly regarded him as an elder brother. After getting along with them for so many years, Yinreng knew very well that if there was anyone among them who would truly regard him as an elder brother, it would be Yinzo. That's why Yinreng couldn't help but speak up and give him advice when he thought Yinzo was being spoiled.
But I have to say it, my imagination is killing me. If Yinzuo knew that Yinreng looked at him like that, he would probably give himself a little golden man in his mind. He was not as good as he thought. At the beginning, he really didn't regard Kangxi and Yinzhen as his father and brother. He just regarded these two as NPCs who completed the task and were trying to improve his favorability. But as the saying goes, people are all made of flesh and blood. After spending a long time together and being nice to others, feelings will naturally develop.
