Even though it was confirmed that malaria was a cold and fever disease, Doctor Wang did not dare to use the medicine directly on Kangxi. In the end, he hesitated for a long time and finally said that he did not dare and could not make the decision. So everyone could not help but look at Kangxi on the bed.
Although Kangxi was weak just now, he was at least conscious. Now he was obviously not feeling well again. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, mumbling something in his mouth. This made Yinzuo think of a symptom of late-stage malaria, delirium.
"Sixth brother, the origin of this medicine is unknown. How can we, the Khan and his people, take something of unknown origin? If something happens, we brothers cannot afford it. It is better to let the imperial doctors treat it. It is safer this way."
It must be said that the throne is very tempting. What's more, he said that he couldn't bear it and left it to the imperial doctors to treat him. If they had a way, they would have allowed Kangxi's illness to drag on until now. Moreover, Yinreng's words sounded like he was concerned about Kangxi's health, but the inner meaning was nothing more than that he didn't want the current established situation to change.
"Second brother, what you said is not right. It's too late to talk about a body worth a million gold. To be disrespectful, Khan Ama might be able to live after taking this medicine, but he will definitely die if he doesn't. I don't know what you think, but I won't hide it from you. Rather than being the emperor's brother, I still want to be the emperor's son."
Yinzuo no longer cared how ugly the prince's face was. He was telling the truth. He wanted to be the emperor's son rather than the emperor's brother. Even if he had to be the emperor's brother, the one who could ascend to the throne had to be Yinzhen, with whom he had a better relationship.
Now Yinreng's position is stable. If something unexpected happens to Kangxi at this time, there is no doubt that the prince can immediately ascend the throne in front of the coffin. The matter is a foregone conclusion. Unless Yinzhen rebels, there is no possibility for him to ascend the throne in this lifetime. Therefore, it is still the same thing. Father Kangxi cannot die, at least not now.
"As for the unknown origin of the medicine you mentioned, you can rest assured, second brother. I'm here and won't go anywhere. Father Hong Ruohan is in the Imperial Observatory and can't escape. Doctor Wang, do you have a way to make Khan Ama sober? Whether to take this medicine or not is not up to me or my second brother. It all depends on Khan Ama himself."
Ever since the two brothers started arguing, the imperial physicians and Liang Jiugong had been standing by with their necks shrunk, pretending to be incompetent. It was only when Imperial Physician Wang was named by Yinzuo that he had to stand up.
"In response to Sixth Prince, there is a way, but..."
After all, Yinzuo had been dealing with this group of imperial doctors for several years and knew that they only wanted to be safe in everything. After all, any of the nobles they came into contact with in the palace could easily take their lives.
"Stop nagging me. Go wake up Khan Ama. If Khan Ama punishes me later, I will take full responsibility."
Yinzuo didn't know when Kangxi in history had taken quinine, nor did he know how long the current Kangxi could last, but since he had already got the medicine, he must give it to Kangxi. No matter what, his efforts could not be in vain.
Now that things have come to this, seeing Yinzuo's insistence, Doctor Wang looked up at Yinreng. What could Yinreng do now? Even though he was reluctant, he didn't dare to stop the doctor. After all, it would be fine if Khan Ama couldn't hold on and went, but if he survived this, he...
"Go ahead."
Doctor Wang's medical skills were indeed good. He took a silver needle and gave Kangxi a few injections on the head. Kangxi soon woke up. Yinzuo didn't care about Yinreng at the side at this time. He walked quickly to Kangxi's bedside and bowed.
"Khan Ama, I have a medicine called Cinchona Frost. It's said to cure malaria, which is the same cold and fever you're suffering from right now. But I've only heard of people recovering from malaria after taking it, but I haven't verified its effectiveness. Now the medicine is here. It's up to you whether you take it or not."
After saying this, Yinzuo placed the medicine bottle he had been holding in his hand into Kangxi's hand, then took a step back and said nothing more, waiting for Kangxi's decision.
"Liang Jiugong, bring me a glass of water..."
Kangxi didn't hesitate for long. He poured the medicine out of the bottle, examined it in his hand for a moment, and then ordered Liang Jiugong to fetch some water. His thoughts were similar to Yinzuo's. After all, the situation was already so dire. If he took the medicine, there was still a glimmer of hope. If he didn't take it, he would be waiting to die. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die like this...
Not long after Kangxi took the medicine, he fell asleep again. However, neither Yinreng nor Yinzuo, nor the imperial physicians, moved. They did not want to leave, could not leave, and dared not leave.
"Eunuch Liang, could you please have someone bring a couch over here for me? I haven't slept in two days and I really can't hold on any longer."
Liang Jiugong certainly would not refuse Yinzuo's request. He not only asked someone to move a couch for Yinzuo, but also moved Yinreng's. Kangxi's imperial tent was very spacious, so Yinzuo simply asked someone to find a place to put the couch, and then he lay down on it without caring about others.
"Eunuch Liang, please keep an eye on it. Feed Khan Ama his medicine every two hours. Call me immediately if anything happens..."
When Yinzuo said he was tired, he was really tired. The most exercise he did on weekdays was the horse riding and archery class every afternoon and going to the cloth warehouse to play with the ninth and tenth brothers for a while. He had been traveling day and night for the past two days, and he felt that his body was about to be torn apart by the horses. At this moment, he lay down on the bed, relaxed his mind, and fell asleep in a short while.
What if Kangxi was not destined to die? After taking the medicine several times, his condition quickly stabilized. When Yinzuo woke up from a good sleep, he was able to sit up and chat with Crown Prince Yinreng.
"Khan Ama, when did you wake up? Why didn't you let Eunuch Liang go and call your son? What time is it now? How long has your son been sleeping?"
When Kangxi saw Yinzuo woke up, he waved to him and touched his shiny forehead with a loving expression.
"Khan Ama was able to wake up this time thanks to the medicine Yinzuo brought. Otherwise, Khan Ama would have been in great danger..."
Every time Kangxi thought of this, he felt extremely fortunate that he had asked Yinreng to bring the child here, otherwise he might have really died on this grassland this time.
"Sixth brother, you slept for quite a while. From yesterday afternoon until now, it's almost dark. You feel better now. Is there any discomfort anywhere else?"
Looking at the prince who looked fine, Yinzuo exclaimed in his heart, Wow, I didn't expect that my second brother, the prince, is so flexible now. Looking at his expression and tone, it seems that he has completely forgotten the unpleasantness they had yesterday.
"Thank you for your concern, brother. I feel much better now. Actually, there's nothing wrong. I've just been lazy over the years and have never ridden a horse for such a long time. When I started moving, my whole body felt uncomfortable. Brother, did you take a rest?"
Since the other person is trying hard to act like a good brother, Yinzuo will naturally not cause trouble for himself. He will just play along. After all, he is good at acting like a good brother, and his acting skills are guaranteed to be top-notch.
