Although Yinzuo was shouting loudly, his back injury was actually not that serious. The reason why he acted so exaggerated was just to divert the attention of Kangxi and Yinreng. Sure enough, the saying that the crying child gets the milk is absolutely true. Look, without Yinzuo's interruption, both Kangxi and Yinreng became obedient all of a sudden.
"Okay, let's go out now. This study is a bit messy, so please be careful with your steps. Otherwise, I'd better let Ama help you..."
Yinreng looked at Kangxi, who was chasing Yinzuo out of the study with a worried look on his face, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stood there for a long time before he walked out of the study.
"Doctor Wang, please don't leave so quickly. Take a look at my second brother too. His forehead... um... hit the pillar. Yes, it hit the pillar."
After hearing what Yinzuo said, Doctor Wang almost couldn't control the expression on his face. He tried to hold back and not roll his eyes at him on the spot. He said, "Your Highness, I'm a doctor. Let's first talk about how the wound on the prince's forehead came about. Before you speak, can you please look up at him? There's still tea leaves on his forehead."
Although Doctor Wang kept complaining in his heart, he was very decisive in his actions. He quickly treated the wound on Yinreng's forehead and wrote a prescription for the two brothers. After showing it to Emperor Kangxi, he went with Liang Jiugong to get the medicine and boil it.
Once Imperial Physician Wang had left, the vast hall was left with only the attendants and Kangxi, Yinzuo, and Yinreng. Yinzuo glanced up at Kangxi, who sat beside him on the couch, then back at Yinreng, who stood not far away. He felt a pang of worry. "No, you two are playing one, two, three, where are the wooden figures?" Are you trying to figure out who can be more silent, or has someone else sealed their language system?
"Wanquan, take the people out first."
When Wan Quan heard what Yinzuo said, his first reaction was to look at Kangxi who was sitting next to him. Seeing that Kangxi looked calm and did not say anything against him, he raised his hand slightly to signal the servants in the hall to go out with him. After they left, only Yinzuo and his father and son were left in the room.
"Ama, second brother, don't you two have anything you want to say to me?"
As expected, Yinzuo's question did not receive an answer from Kangxi and Yinreng. Although Yinzuo had expected this result, he still couldn't help but sigh when facing this stubborn duo.
"Okay, since my father and second brother don't have anything to say to me, why don't I ask you, second brother, can you tell me what's going on today and why you resigned from the position of Crown Prince out of the blue?"
Upon hearing this, Yinreng first looked up at Kangxi, then turned his gaze to Yinzuo who was lying next to him. He stared at him for a long time before slowly curling his lips and said.
"Nothing? I just suddenly felt it was quite boring."
In just a dozen words, Yinzuo heard a sense of relief from his calm tone, and for a moment, Yinzuo couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his second brother.
In fact, it is no wonder that Yinreng suddenly gave up. From his point of view, it is quite boring to sit on the throne of the crown prince to this point. Kangxi is a person with a strong desire for control. He has always been the one who has the final say, whether it is about court affairs or his son.
If we say that Kangxi's attitude towards Yinreng was just strong doting at the beginning, as Yinreng's wings grew stronger, Kangxi, who was always sensitive to power, gradually became wary of him. Even though Yinreng had been forbearing all these years, trying his best to pretend to be a grandson in front of Kangxi, and even repeatedly stated that he had no intention of seizing power, Kangxi's fear and suspicion of him did not diminish at all, but instead intensified as he grew older.
So what if he was above everyone else? It was lonely at the top. Yinreng had been a favored child since childhood, and he was not without pride. Since forbearance was useless, he might as well overturn the table. When he came, he was thinking, at worst, you can just kill me, which would be better than this day-to-day torment.
"Well, it's quite boring. Second brother, didn't you say before that you would move to my Shufengxuan to stay for a few days when you were free? Now that you are no longer the crown prince, I think you should have the time. Come on, let's pack up and move to Shufengxuan to live for a few days. I tell you, Lao Shi and his men raised a few sheep over at the imperial farm. A few days ago, they told me that they would send me two when they were ready. It's perfect. Let's ask him to go to the imperial farm together to catch sheep. Tomorrow we can enjoy the roasted whole lamb..."
Isn't it true that my thoughts are so quick to jump? If I remember correctly, weren't we just discussing the crown prince position? How come we're talking about roasted whole lamb in the blink of an eye? Yinreng watched Yinzuo get off the couch and pull him out. His mind suddenly froze. He didn't even struggle, and was pulled by Yinzuo all the way to the entrance of the flower hall.
"Yinzuo, stand right there, you brat! If you dare take another step forward, I'll show you how I'll deal with you. What do you mean by giving up the throne of Crown Prince? Did I agree? And you said you'd better move to Shufengxuan and live there for a while. Did I agree? I advise you to come back and lie down obediently, or I'll spank you with a ruler."
Not to mention Yinreng, even Kangxi was obviously stunned by Yinzo's sudden and surprising move. He didn't come to his senses until the two brothers were about to walk out of the flower hall. Yinreng was frightened by Kangxi's roar and his wandering mind suddenly returned to its place. Yinzo didn't stop walking, completely ignoring his father's words, and rushed to his roasted whole lamb.
"I said you have no ears, don't you? Or are you itching for trouble again? Fine, then I'll grant your wish. Wanquan, go to the study and get my ruler. If I don't spank you until your bottom is bruised today, I'd be sorry for your courage."
Just when he was about to escape, his father pulled him back by the ear at the last moment. Yinzuo winked at Yinreng for help and reached out to pry his father's hand that was holding his ear.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Father, please let go, don't be angry, it was your son's fault just now, I will be obedient and lie down on the couch, second brother, don't stand there like an idiot, please help me beg for mercy, my back is already injured today, this buttocks must not be broken, Father, please, spare your son this time, okay? I really didn't pretend not to hear, I just don't want to drink the medicine..."
In response to Yinzuo's request for help, Yinreng said that he was unable to help. After all, he was in a difficult situation and could not save himself, so how could he have the energy to save Yinzuo? However, considering that Yinzuo did not forget to take him with him when he escaped, Yinreng did not just stand there and watch. Seeing that Kangxi was arguing with Yinzuo and did not notice him, he helped Yinzuo quietly stop Wanquan who had already taken out the ruler.
