As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. After being forcibly held in the palace by Yinzhen for a few days, Yinzuo was planning to start resisting, and the first step he had to take was naturally to get out of his fourth brother's sight.
If he wanted to escape from Yinzhen's control, he would first have to find a place where he had no control and could not reach. And the only place in the entire palace that met both of these conditions was obviously the one where Kangxi stayed. Since he was planning to stay with his father, Yinzuo simply didn't waste any time and got up and ran straight to Kangxi's residence.
"Father, how about I move in with you for a few days? Ever since we boarded the ship, I've been sleeping and vomiting all day, feeling dizzy and unable to take care of myself. I feel like I haven't seen you for a while. We've been ashore for a few days now, and after resting for these days, I feel like I've gotten much better. I have nothing to do anyway, so why not move in with you and keep you company...Father, can you please say something... If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. Dexi, go back and pack your things, and we'll move in right away..."
In his heart, Yinzuo might not actually understand that the reason why Yinzhen stared at him so closely was probably because of his father's instructions. But as the saying goes, only the crying child gets the milk. If he came to his father to make a fuss, maybe he would suddenly soften his heart?
Who was Kangxi? He'd been through a lot in his life, so Yinzuo's little tricks were like playing house to him. But even if he saw through them, what good would it do? Yinzuo's words to Kangxi sounded like: Father, I've endured so much hardship to finally get here, and now I'm under such control that I can't go anywhere. Father, your son feels so aggrieved... Well, since the child has suffered so much, then let him move in. At most, I can just keep him by my side.
Yinzuo had no idea that he had just escaped from a wolf's den and fallen into a tiger's mouth. It was a beautiful moment at that moment. After coming out of Kangxi's residence, he was in a good mood. The sky was so blue, the grass was so green, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of freedom.
"Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom. Your imagination runs wild, your heart unfettered. Even through the dark years, you've felt lost. But the moment you lower your head, you realize the path beneath your feet, the free world within your heart, so clear and lofty... Alas, Fourteen, what are you doing standing at my door?"
When Fourteenth saw Yinzuo coming, he quickly winked at him. The meaning was very clear. He wanted to tell him that the person who was stopping him from pursuing freedom had come and was sitting in his room right now... Unfortunately, Yinzuo, who thought he was about to break free from his cage, was too excited at this time and did not receive the signal from Fourteenth at all. When he entered the room and saw Yinzhen sitting at the table drinking tea, he was so scared that his voice was hoarse.
"Fourth...Fourth...Fourth Brother, how...how come you have time to come to my place today? Aren't you busy today? Yeah, Khan Ama seems to be quite free today too. Um...Um, Fourth Brother, Khan Ama asked me to move in with him for a few days. I have to pack my things, so I can't accompany you for now. I'll come to play with you after I'm done...Akshan, quickly call a few people in to help Dexi pack and move things. We have to hurry, Khan Ama is waiting for me to eat."
Yinzhen just sat there quietly, watching Yinzuo ordering the people in the room around, until Dexi and others carried the packed luggage out, and until Fourteen felt that his sixth brother had escaped this disaster, then he put down the cup in his hand, slowly stood up and walked to Yinzuo's side, and with such swift, fierce and accurate movements, he grabbed Yinzuo's collar as he had already stepped out of the door and pulled him back.
"Sixth brother, you're in a good mood today. I can hear this little song even from my seat in the room. Nothing can stop you from yearning for freedom. Come, talk to Fourth Brother about who's blocking your freedom. Fourteenth, don't stand there at the door. Come in and talk to us about whether Fourth Brother is blocking your freedom."
Fourteenth was filled with resentment. Did he lose his mind just now? Otherwise, why did he stand at the door for so long without running away? Now that his fourth brother had spoken, he couldn't escape even if he had wings. His sixth brother had angered the fourth brother and could have run to his Khan Ama for refuge, but what about him? He could run away, but he couldn't escape the temple. However, seeing his sixth brother being grabbed by the collar, he obviously didn't run away either. But who did his fourth brother learn this bad habit from? Why did he even resort to this collective punishment?
"Fourth brother, I never said you were blocking my freedom. I feel I'm quite free right now. Of course, if you could show mercy and let me go, I'd be even freer."
It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. In fact, this saying is still appropriate today. Look, our fourteen-year-old is smart. He chose to die rather than let his friend die. Yinzuo was grabbed by his brother's collar and looked at his brother who had regained his freedom. He almost fainted from anger.
"Alas... Fourteenth, you are such a dishonest kid. You're sacrificing me, your sixth brother, for your own sake, right? You're afraid that Fourth Brother will punish you, but didn't you see that I'm still being held by him? Fine, just wait and see how I'm going to punish you. Fourth Brother, you're getting tired of holding me like this. Why don't we let go first and sit over there so we can talk it out? I just sang a song. Freedom is what everyone longs for, right?"
Yinzhen was just teasing Yinzuo and Fourteen, but when he saw them give in so quickly, he felt bored and let go of the hand that had been holding Yinzuo's collar. Then he gave him a warning look and pointed to the seat at the table, motioning him to sit over there.
"Don't think I don't know what you were doing just now. It was Khan Ama who asked you to move over and stay with him for a few days. He's been so busy these days that he doesn't have the time to take care of you. I think it was you who pestered Khan Ama and insisted on moving over. Xiaoliu, don't blame me for not reminding you. Although I'm strict here, at least you still have your little follower, Fourteen, to play with you. But if you go to Khan Ama's place, you'll be in trouble..."
Yinzuo basically ignored Yinzhen's words. After all, in his opinion, what his fourth brother said was a bit alarmist.
"Miserable? How could that be? Didn't you say, Fourth Brother, that Khan Ama has been so busy lately that he has no time to care about me. When I get to his place, it will be as free as the sea allows, and as free as the sky allows. I've already made up my mind. I'll get up early tomorrow and call Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Shisan, Shisi and the others to go out with me. I don't know what delicious food there is in Suzhou, but there's no rush. Tomorrow..."
