As the saying goes, spring is late, the spring scenery is bustling, it is time for outings, the grass is lush and green, and as the weather gradually warms up, Changchun Garden is no longer a scene of withered things. According to Yinzuo's previous temperament, the flowers outside are everywhere, and it is the time for him to call his friends. However, this year, the flowers that Yinzhi and his friends have been waiting for are almost withered, and they have not received any invitation from Yinzuo to enjoy the flowers and go for an outing.
"Xiaojiu, you're on duty at the Ministry of Works, and you usually interact with your sixth brother the most. Do you know what he's been busy with lately? In previous years, the invitation would have been delivered to the mansion by this time. What exactly is his policy this year?"
No, if you're all so curious, why don't you go ask my Sixth Brother? Why are you all trying to embarrass me? Besides, I'm not his inner worm. How can I guess what he's thinking...
Even if Yinzhen really didn't know anything, would he dare not answer his elder brother's question? Needless to say, he wouldn't dare to do so even if you gave him two more courage.
"Brother, you know that although Sixth Brother is nominally in charge of the Ministry of Works, he's just a figurehead at best. He'll show up when he remembers, but when he doesn't, it's not uncommon for him to be absent for ten days, half a month, or even several months. It's been half a month since April, right? I haven't seen him at the Ministry of Works once. The last time I went to Shufengxuan, he even kicked me out..."
So, what is Yinzuo, who is missed by his brothers, doing now? Come, look here, do you see him pretending to be a donkey pulling a millstone?
"Master, I see the weather is nice outside today. How about I accompany you for a walk?"
Dexi was now truly worried sick about his master. Ever since April, his master had developed some strange aversion. He'd been languishing from time to time before, but lately, he'd been in a state of extreme anxiety. Did you see that shiny circle on the garden floor? It wasn't there before. Did you see the circle under his master's eyes? That wasn't there before either.
Why did Yinzuo become so anxious? In fact, the answer is very simple, because the fifth month of the 47th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign was approaching. Yinzuo did not know what happened in the fifth month of the 47th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, but at the beginning of this month he received the imperial edict to accompany the emperor on a tour outside the Great Wall.
Normally, accompanying the emperor on tours should be a common occurrence for Yinzuo and not something he should take seriously. But the bad thing is that this year is the 47th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. You should know that Yinreng in history was deposed during this tour to the frontier.
"Alas, you said that other people who traveled through time either brought a space or had a system, but I just blinked and closed my eyes and came here. I say, Master of Time Travel, you are too unreliable. If you could have given me some hints before traveling through time, I would have at least bought a book on Qing history. Now I only know the results, not the reasons. Even if I wanted to avoid it, I have no idea at all..."
Dexi was standing a few steps away from Yinzuo, so although he heard Yinzuo talking to himself, he couldn't hear clearly what he said. But because of this, he became even more worried. Look, his master's illness seemed to have worsened. After all, he was just spinning in circles before, but now he was in a trance.
"Master, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to call Doctor Wang to take a look at you? If you feel wronged, why don't we go talk to His Majesty? He loves you so much and will definitely seek justice for you."
Upon hearing this, Yinzuo finally stopped circling and pointed at the teapot on the table. Dexi understood and immediately stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea. Yinzuo was tired after walking for half a day, so he took the cup and drank a sip of tea, then walked to the stone table in the garden and sat down.
"There's no need to invite Imperial Physician Wang. After all, even if he came, he wouldn't be able to cure my illness. But we can go to Qingxi Book House. Dexi, I heard that Eighteenth Brother is on the list of people accompanying the emperor this time, right? What do you think will happen if I go to Khan Ama and tell him not to go?"
Yinzuo had been worried for so many days, and at this moment he suddenly understood. As the saying goes, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Since it can't be avoided, then just take the initiative. Although Yinzuo didn't know the specific reason why Kangxi decided to depose Yinreng, he remembered that the fuse that led to Yinreng's dethronement seemed to be the death of the eighteenth prince Yinzhi. After deposing the prince, Kangxi reprimanded Yinreng for not showing any sadness after the death of his younger brother...
Since he had decided to find Kangxi, Yinzuo did not hesitate too much. He asked Dexi to help him change his clothes and took him to Qingxi Book House. When he arrived, Kangxi had just finished his official business and was stretching his muscles in the garden with Liang Jiugong. When he saw Yinzuo coming, he stopped and raised his hand to call him over.
"I heard that you've been in a bad mood these days, staying in Shufengxuan, not going anywhere, not seeing anyone. How come you're in the mood to come to me today? You're the same. If there's something you can't tell anyone else, you can't tell your father. But who's bullying you again? Look at you, it's only been half a month since we last met, and you've lost a lot of weight..."
Kangxi said Yinzuo had lost weight. Was it really the "old father" filter that kicked in? After all, he had been walking around the circle for an hour every day for the past two weeks? Add to that the worry and the lack of food, it would be strange if he didn't lose weight.
Since he had decided to take the initiative, Yinzuo had no intention of beating around the bush with his father. He pulled Kangxi to sit in the pavilion in the garden and then got straight to the point.
"Father, if I told you that I don't want you to take my eighteenth brother with you on this tour to the frontier, would you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Yinzuo. The meaning was very clear. Regardless of whether you agree or not, you have to give me a reason why you want to do this.
Kangxi naturally understood what Kangxi wanted to express. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally decided to use the routine that worked in time-travel novels.
"Father, the reason I'm asking this is because I had the same dream for several days in a row at the beginning of this month. In the dream, my eighteenth brother died, dying during this patrol. I didn't take it seriously at first, but after dreaming the same thing for several days in a row, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you would worry. Now that the patrol day is getting closer, I decided to come and talk to you. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Although I haven't had much contact with my eighteenth brother, he is still my brother after all. If this dream is really a warning, then I don't want him to take risks with me."
Kangxi couldn't help but frowned when Yinzuo said this. To be honest, he didn't quite believe in such unrealistic things, but as Yinzuo said, it's better to be safe than sorry... Forget it, to reassure this kid, just don't bring him.
