Isn't it said that moments of crisis can best unleash a person's potential? Look, isn't that what Yinzuo is doing now? He's so desperate to avoid further beatings that he doesn't even care about the pain. Before Concubine De reaches him, he quickly gets up from the bench he's lying on and runs towards the courtyard gate.
"Fourteen, why are you standing there stupidly? Come and help me block it. Go over there and hold on to my mother. As long as I open the gate, we can escape today..."
Escape? You wishful thinking, do you think that the servants in my yard are just for show? No matter how capable you are, can you escape from the pursuit of so many people?
"Qiuju, don't just stand there. Unless the Emperor is here today, no one can open the gate of Chunfeng Hall..."
Well, it seems that the previous individual battle is over, and now it is the team battle. Chunfeng Hall is also the territory of Concubine De. Needless to say, there is basically no one available on Yinzuo's side except Fourteenth. But fortunately, Fourteenth is strong enough. With his flesh and blood body, he not only resisted his mother's feather duster for him, but also tied down several palace servants for him.
But even if Fourteenth was so powerful, it could not change the fact that they were outnumbered. After Yinzuo failed to break out from many directions, he simply did not run towards the gate of the courtyard. He quickly ran to a thick crabapple tree in the courtyard, looked up, then decisively took off his shoes and climbed up the tree while holding the trunk.
Yinzuo had climbed trees to steal bird eggs many times in his previous life. Although he had not had the opportunity to use this skill over the years, it was something that was engraved in his bones and could not be easily forgotten. Before Concubine De could even see how he did it, Yinzuo had already climbed up the tree.
"Okay, Fourteen. Sixth Brother is safe for now. You can start running now. Come, run towards me. There's a sturdy branch next to me. I left it specially for you..."
Good guy, not only did he climb the tree like a wild monkey, but now he was even thinking of instigating Fourteen to join him. Fourteen had been naughty and playful since he was a child. It was not that he had never climbed trees and shot birds before, but he was usually pressured by many parties, so he had to be a good boy. Now that he had such a legitimate opportunity to climb a tree, how could he miss it? Without Yinzuo's urging, he ran towards Yinzuo, and when he reached the bottom of the tree, he put his hands together, grabbed a branch and jumped up, and after a few kicks of his feet, he flipped over to Yinzuo's side.
"Sixth brother is really smart. No matter how strong our physical strength is, it will eventually run out. With so many people on Mother's side, it's only a matter of time before they catch us. But now it's different. If we sit here, not only will we save energy, but we can also avoid being beaten. It's a hundred benefits with no harm..."
Yinzuo obviously did not agree with what Fourteenth said. He grinned and moved his injured butt slightly to make himself more comfortable leaning against the tree trunk. Then he turned to look at Fourteenth who was looking around.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here. I'm injured and can't move. You sit over there facing the gate. Can you show me if Khan Ama has arrived?"
The architecture of Changchun Garden is mainly for viewing the scenery, unlike the palace with high walls. Although Chunfeng Hall has a gate, it is more of a symbolic meaning. Yinzuo, the fourteenth, is sitting on a tree at this time. He is high up and can look far, and he can actually see what is happening outside.
So, has Kangxi arrived yet? The answer is that if you mention Cao Cao, he will arrive. Almost as soon as Yinzuo finished speaking, there was a noise from the courtyard gate. Yinzuo and the Fourteenth wanted to go out, and Defei dared to stop them. But Kangxi wanted to come in, and Defei couldn't stop him.
After Kangxi received the news of Dexi's request for help, he rushed here without stopping. However, Qingxi Study was indeed some distance away from Chunfeng Hall, and his distant help could not save Yinzuo's nearby fire. After he entered the door, he first waved his hand casually to exempt Defei from paying her respects, and then looked around the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, please stop looking for them. Your two precious sons are hanging on the tree now. Xiaoliu, your backer is here, why don't you get down from the tree quickly..."
Yinzuo was not blind, and how could he not see that Kangxi, such a grown man, was standing in the yard? His buttocks, back, and even arms were hurting, so naturally he didn't want to continue hanging on the tree.
"Hey, I'm coming... Fourteen, go down first and catch me under the tree. I'm in so much pain right now, I'm afraid I'll fall down..."
When Kangxi saw Yinzuo and Shishidi sitting on the tree, he thought they had not been beaten. After hearing what Yinzuo said, he was completely confused. It turned out that they could not bear the beating and had escaped to the tree.
"De Fei, I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but how come your temper keeps getting worse as you get older? Yin Zuo has never been very strong, and I don't know how long it will take him to recover from the beating you've given him. Liang Jiugong, don't just stand there! Hurry and get your Sixth and Fourteenth Masters down from the tree. Don't let them fall."
Although he knew that 99% of his Khan Ama's words "Don't let them fall" were about who gave it to his sixth brother, he was obviously very happy that he could get that 14%. He nimbly rolled down from the tree to the ground, then looked up at Yinzuo on the tree and said.
"Sixth brother, feel free to jump down. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you fall to the ground."
Although Yinzuo was injured, he was not injured to the extent that he needed someone to catch him under the tree. The reason he said that just now was just to tell his father that you are late.
Although Yinzuo said that no one was needed to help, neither the Fourteenth Prince nor Liang Jiugong dared to follow his words and leave the tree. They just took two steps back, ready to step forward to rescue at any time. It was not until Yinzuo landed safely that Liang Jiugong stepped forward and personally supported Yinzuo as he walked towards Kangxi and Concubine De.
"Father, what took you so long to come? Look at my back, which was whipped by my mother. My butt is even worse. If my son hadn't been smart enough to run up a tree, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand up right now..."
Kangxi knew that there was some exaggeration in Yinzuo's words, but that didn't stop him from feeling distressed when he saw Yinzuo's back, which was red and swollen from being beaten. Hearing that the injury to his buttocks was more serious than that to his back, he quickly asked Liang Jiugong to send someone to invite the imperial physician.
Defei was very angry when she beat him, and the more she beat him, the more angry she became. Now that she regained her senses, she naturally felt distressed when she saw Yinzuo's red and swollen back. She had ointment in her room, so she didn't even wait for the imperial physician to come and asked someone to go get the ointment.
"Qingxi Library is far from here, and the imperial physician will probably have to wait a while. Dexi, take your master into the house and have him take off his clothes. Then apply this ointment on him..."
