Was Yinzuo trying to scare his father? Hey, he really wasn't this time, or rather, not entirely. Ever since he decided to rebel, Yinzuo had given up eating. Every day, apart from the medicinal soup that he had to drink under his watch, he only let Dexi sneak him a few pieces of cakes in the dead of night to fill his stomach. He persisted like this for two or three days. He thought he had almost fooled Kangxi, so he sent Dexi to Qingxi Library to report.
When Kangxi and Yinzhen hurried to Shufengxuan, Yinzuo was sitting on the head of the bed, sighing and holding his rumbling stomach. Hearing the voices of greetings coming from outside, he quickly pulled the quilt aside and lay back on the bed.
"Yinzuo, you kid... ah, how did you get yourself into this state? Boss, quickly send someone to invite Doctor Wang over. Yinzuo, can you hear what Father is saying?"
Could Yinzuo hear Kangxi talking? Of course he could, but even if he heard it, he couldn't respond. After all, there's a saying that goes, you can never wake up a person who's pretending to be asleep.
Yinzuo looked half dead and pale, and even Yinzhi was shocked, not to mention Kangxi. When Kangxi said he would send someone to invite the imperial physician, he did not ask anyone else to do it, but went directly to where the imperial physicians lived and pulled Imperial Physician Wang over.
"Doctor Wang, please come and take a look at him. This child hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days and seems to have fainted..."
When Kangxi saw Yinzhen pulling Doctor Wang in, he quickly stood up and gave up his seat in front of Yinzuo's bed and called Doctor Wang to come and take his pulse. With Doctor Wang's medical skills, he could tell whether the man was unconscious or not right away. But as the saying goes, to know what you know and to know what you don't know is also knowledge.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry too much. Judging from the pulse, the Prince is just a little weak, but otherwise there's nothing serious. If Your Majesty wishes to wake him up, I can give him acupuncture right now..."
Doctor Wang was standing beside Yinzuo's bed at this moment, and he even raised his voice slightly when he said this. The meaning was very clear: whether to wake up, when to wake up, and how to wake up all depended on Yinzuo's own choice.
What would Yin Zuo choose? First of all, it was certain that he did not want to be injected. After ruling out this method of awakening, the answer before him seemed to have no choice.
"Dexi...De..."
When Yinzuo "woke up", Kangxi was asking Doctor Wang about Yinzuo's condition. Hearing the voice, he quickly pushed Doctor Wang, who was blocking his way, aside and walked quickly towards the bed where Yinzuo was lying.
"Yinzuo, how do you feel now? Do you feel any discomfort? Doctor Wang is here. Do you want him to come over and take a look at you?
The reason why Yinzuo looked so weak was that he had tortured himself to this point in the past few days. Even if Doctor Wang was a skilled doctor, he could not cure his hunger. So when Yinzuo heard what Kangxi said, he hurriedly shook his head, indicating that there was no need to make things difficult for Doctor Wang.
"Ama, I'm fine except for being very hungry. But the thought of eating makes me want to vomit."
Kangxi raised his hand and touched Yinzuo's forehead with a distressed look, then turned his gaze to Wang Taiyi who was waiting on the side. The meaning was obvious, come on, explain to me what's going on, who is Wang Taiyi? No matter what, he was the one who was always hovering in front of Tainiang. When he heard Yinzuo's words, he had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind, so when facing Kangxi's inquiring eyes, he answered with confidence.
"Reporting to His Majesty, as the saying goes, every medicine is poisonous. The reason why Your Highness feels hungry but wants to vomit after eating is probably because he has been taking medication for too long, which has weakened his gastrointestinal function. I think you should stop the previous medication and rest for a while. Once your gastrointestinal function has recovered, we can make further plans..."
How to describe Yin Zuo's current feelings? Let's put it this way, if it weren't for his status, he really wouldn't mind getting out of bed and kowtow to Doctor Wang. This is not just a doctor, he is simply a living Bodhisattva sent by God to save him. God knows how he has been tortured by the bitter medicine soup these days.
What does it mean when things go against one's wishes? Now these four words are embodied in Yinzuo. He thought that after he stopped taking the medicine, he could return to his previous carefree life, but after this ordeal, he found that he had just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth. The medicine was stopped, but new torture began again.
"Khan Ama, look at what my son has on display here, and then look at what you have on display. Is it right? This soup is bland and looks unappetizing. My son doesn't want to eat this. I want to eat the braised pork ribs on your side."
If Yinzuo had wanted to eat the braised pork ribs on his table under normal circumstances, Kangxi would have asked Liang Jiugong to bring the dish to him without hesitation. But now, Kangxi was terrified whenever he thought of Yinzuo's half-dead appearance lying on the bed, so how could he indulge him?
"That won't do. The imperial physician has told me that your stomach has been weak lately and you can't eat these greasy, indigestible foods. Yinzuo, be obedient and take good care of yourself. When the time comes, I won't stop you from eating whatever you want."
Yin Zuo finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. To be honest, he didn't want to be good, but what could he do when faced with his father who spoke to him softly like a child? Well, it was bland, so to speak. Perhaps this was the punishment for his impulsiveness.
The saying that being soft-hearted will lead to failure is absolutely true. Kangxi knew Yinzuo very well and knew that he was a person who would respond to soft words but not to hard ones. So when Yinzuo couldn't stand it anymore and started making trouble with him, Kangxi didn't get anxious, but just coaxed, praised and persuaded him. Coaxing him himself was not enough. If Yinzuo made a big fuss, Kangxi would also call Yinzuo's brothers to coax and persuade him together. Yinzuo had a precise grasp of his father's weakness. Even if he was the Monkey King who had read Journey to the West when he was alive, he couldn't escape from the palm of his father's hand.
"Alas, it's true that the devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher. Otherwise, he is the father and I am the son. He really has a way to deal with me. How did I, such a smart person, come up with such a stupid idea as a hunger strike? Dexi, my brain was not very clear at the time because of the bitter medicine. Why didn't you think of stopping me then..."
Haha, are you sure I didn't stop you? I was practically on my knees begging you back then, wasn't I? What did you say back then... Yeah, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child, you can't control your father without risking your life. Why are you thinking your idea was a failure now that it's backfired? What were you doing before?
