Fourteenth Prince was kicked to the ground by the furious Kangxi. He didn't even dare to breathe, let alone defend himself. He knelt down obediently and watched Kangxi take Doctor Wang into the inner room. Only then did he dare to look up at Yinzhen, Yinreng and others beside him.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Ninth Brother... It's really not my fault this time. I really don't know how this happened by such a coincidence..."
Although Fourteenth Prince looked miserable now, neither Yinzhi nor Yinreng, including the others, could sympathize with him at all. The main reason was that this kid was too troublesome. It would have been fine if he had just been making trouble by himself, but he had dragged Yinzuo into it. Even if they wanted to plead for him, they had to dare to say it in front of their furious father.
Although Yinzuo knew that he could not hide today's incident from Kangxi, he still couldn't help frowning when he saw his father coming in from outside with a sullen face. Well, he didn't even need to say anything, just looking at the old man's face he knew that this time he would be coaxed.
Doctor Wang came in without Kangxi's instructions. He carried the medicine box and walked to Yinzuo's bedside as if he was familiar with the place. He took his hand and felt his pulse. Then he turned around and asked Dexi to help him move a chair over. Then he opened the medicine box and took out his set of silver needles.
Although Kangxi had ignored Yinzuo since he entered the room, when he saw Doctor Wang take out the silver needle, he hurriedly got up from his seat and walked towards the bed.
"Doctor Wang, is Yinzuo's condition serious?"
Doctor Wang naturally knew what position Yinzuo held in Kangxi's heart, so he was always very cautious in dealing with Yinzuo's affairs. When he heard Kangxi's question, he quickly stood up and replied.
"Reporting to His Majesty, although the prince was in the water not long ago, it is the coldest time of the year and the lake water is chilly. This chill will inevitably invade the internal organs, especially the joints of the legs. This is why the prince previously felt a loss of sensation in his legs and feet. This old minister will first use acupuncture to help clear his blood and qi, and then give him two doses of medicine to regulate his condition. It should be fine now."
Doctor Wang was an absolute professional in treating illnesses and saving lives. Since he said so, Kangxi naturally had no objection. As for Yinzuo lying in bed, he did have some objections, but his opinion was obviously not that important at this moment.
Prince Zhao, who was deprived of his right to speak by a look from Kangxi, had to watch his legs being pricked like hedgehogs. Not only that, he also had to drink the bitter medicine soup brought by Dexi obediently, and it was the kind without candied fruit to sweeten his mouth. Our Prince Zhao had never suffered such grievances since he was a child. At first, he could still endure it because he was in the wrong, but when Kangxi gave him the bitter medicine soup without candied fruit the next morning, didn't he just refuse to accept it?
"No, Father, did your son, I, break some heavenly law? Killing someone is just a small matter. We shouldn't torture people like this. Yesterday, I obeyed you because you were angry. What's going on today? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, your son will definitely not drink this medicine today."
Reasonable explanation? Okay, then you wait for me. Kangxi's explanation for Yinzuo's stubborn resistance was to take two steps forward, raise his hand to pinch his chin, take the medicine bowl handed over by Liang Jiugong, and pour the dark bitter medicine soup into Yinzuo's head.
"Didn't you ask me for an explanation? Then, is Prince Zhao satisfied with this explanation? You bastard, do you know that I was almost scared to death when I heard the guards report that you fell into the ice hole last night? If anything happens to you, what will you ask Ama to do?"
In fact, it is no wonder that Kangxi was so angry. The main reason was that Yinzuo really scared him this time. Yinzuo was a good swimmer. If he fell into the lake in the summer, Kangxi would not be too worried. But this time it was different. This was an ice hole. If this person fell in and was trapped in the ice, it would be difficult to get out.
Yinzuo coughed for a long time after being forced to drink the bowl of bitter medicine soup from Kangxi. After he finally managed to catch his breath, he saw Kangxi's angry look and quickly reached out to pull his sleeve, and began to be comforted by his father.
"Father, this is my son's fault. It's my playfulness that made you worry. Don't worry, I will be obedient from now on. I will stay by your side and never take you anywhere. But can you please not force me to drink my medicine like this at noon? I choked just now. And, didn't we agree before that you wouldn't scold me until the end of the first month of the lunar year?"
It is not true that Kangxi was very angry with Yinzuo. He was mainly afraid of the consequences. Now that Yinzuo had surrendered, he naturally did not have the heart to argue with him anymore.
"You still have the nerve to say that. I did say that, but it has a premise. Let me ask you, have you fulfilled that premise?"
Although Yinzuo wanted to argue with his father, he finally chose to remain silent. After all, he had just coaxed the old man into submission. If he angered him again, he would be the one in trouble.
Yinzuo was rescued quickly after falling into the water yesterday, so apart from his legs and feet being numb from the cold, there was no problem with the rest of his body. Kangxi was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he asked Doctor Wang to prescribe some medicine for him. After making Yinzuo drink it for two days, he saw that he was in good spirits and had no symptoms of catching a cold, so he finally felt relieved.
It was two days after the incident that Yinzuo remembered his annoying brother, Fourteenth Brother. He asked Dexi to go to Ruyizhou to inquire and found out that Fourteenth Brother was put in solitary confinement after being punished by Kangxi to kneel all night. Being punished to kneel all night in the cold winter must not have been a pleasant feeling, even if it was kneeling indoors. After hearing the news, Yinzuo immediately sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician, and then took people to Guanlianso where Fourteenth Brother was put in solitary confinement.
When Yinzuo arrived, Fourteenth Brother was copying books and was exhausted. When he saw Yinzuo pushing the door in, it was like seeing a savior. He was so excited that he didn't even put down the brush in his hand. He walked forward and gave his Sixth Brother a big hug. Naturally, the brush in his hand left a thick and colorful stroke on Yinzuo's cloak.
"Fourteen, you bastard! I brought people to see you the moment I heard you were punished with kneeling and solitary confinement, and what happened? This is how you repay me. Look at the ink stains you've made on my cloak. Can you even clean them off? Come here, stand in front of me, and I promise I won't beat you to death."
Fourteenth was not stupid. It was obvious that his sixth brother was mad at him. It would be strange if he could have gotten any better results if he had gone over to him. So when he heard what Yinzuo said, he not only did not stand over, but even turned around and hid behind the desk, keeping a distance from his sixth brother.
