Since it was a show, it had to be done in full. The night watch in the tent palace was obviously Kangxi's explanation to the outside world for the big drama last night. As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. In order to continue the show and to continue to test the reactions of other parties, Kangxi adopted the method of feigning illness and not attending court, leaving only Yinzuo here to take care of him.
Who was the most unlucky person during Kangxi's absence? It had to be Yinzuo. Kangxi didn't want to see others, but that didn't mean others didn't want to see him. What would they do if they couldn't see Kangxi? They would have to come to Yinzuo for information, after all, he was the only person who had contact with Kangxi.
Yinzuo was able to deal with it patiently in the first few days, but as time went on, his already limited patience was exhausted. His method of avoiding this group of people was simple. He simply rolled up his bedding and moved to his father's tent. Since he was taking care of him, he had to stay by his father's side.
"Father, look at you. You don't look sick at all. If you're sick for ten days or half a month and then go out with a face that's even rosier than when you were healthy, that would be so embarrassing. How about this, let's eat less. We don't have to starve ourselves to death, but at least we can look like we're okay. Doctor Wang, do you have any appetite suppressants? If you do, please prescribe some for us. It'd be best if you could make us vomit when we see something. That way... Oh, Father, this is all for your own good. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but why are you hitting me?"
If Yinzuo was Kangxi's heart and Yinreng was Kangxi's confidant, then Doctor Wang was definitely Kangxi's confidant, although he was not so willing to be the confidant.
Kangxi chased Yinzuo all over the imperial tent for a long time. Although both father and son were exhausted and out of breath, at least they had completed today's exercise target. Although Yinzuo screamed miserably just now, the number of times the ruler actually hit him can be found in Fan Jian's teaching of his son. After Kangxi finished educating his rebellious son, he threw the ruler in his hand on the table and turned to look at Doctor Wang who was standing next to him and watching the show with great pleasure.
"I just thought about it, and what Yinzuo said is right. If you are sick, you should look sick. Doctor Wang, do you have the prescription he mentioned?"
Hey, look at what you're asking. Isn't that a coincidence? It's a perfect match for my profession. Not only do I have a prescription like this, I also have a full set of acupuncture techniques. I guarantee you'll lose your appetite and vomit at every meal. Isn't that the key to looking sick without harming your health? Just wait and see. I have plenty of strength and skills in this area.
It must be said that this expert can tell whether there is any problem or not with just one move. Doctor Wang took out a silver needle and after a few injections, Yinzuo and Kangxi's stomachs began to churn. The guy vomited even more violently than Yinzuo did when he was on the boat before. After this ordeal, both Kangxi and Yinzuo's faces turned pale in an instant.
"Doctor Wang, your method is too simplistic and crude. I asked you to come up with a way to make me feel sick just by looking at food. I didn't ask you to make me feel sick directly. Look at us, one is the emperor, the other is the prince. Is it appropriate for him to vomit like this while holding a basin?"
After Yin Zuo finally raised his head from the basin, the first thing he did was to go and talk to Doctor Wang. But Doctor Wang was sincere. In short, he would just say whether you vomited or not.
With Doctor Wang, this mediocre medical genius, Kangxi and Yinzuo's days of pretending to be sick and taking care of the sick were very exciting. What he said before was really true. He could come up with a new trick to suppress appetite every day. If you are not satisfied, it doesn't matter. We will refund or exchange your money.
How does the saying go, "Preparedness is the key to success, while lack of preparation leads to failure." There is no wasted journey in this world, and naturally no wasted work. After all the efforts made by Yinzuo and Kangxi, the results were simply amazing. Although Kangxi walked without anyone's support on the day he returned to Beijing, his pale face and weak body made it clear to anyone with eyes that he had a serious illness.
As for Yinzuo, the attendant on the sick, his complexion naturally couldn't be much better after enduring so many days. Because he had just been induced to vomit by Doctor Wang with a silver needle before coming out of the imperial tent, Yinzuo's head was still dizzy. He was not paying attention when walking and was tripped by something. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yinzhi beside him was quick-witted and caught him, otherwise our Prince Zhao would have lost all his face today.
"Xiao Liu, you seem to be feeling unwell somewhere. Do you want to ask Doctor Wang to come and take a look at you? I know you've been working hard these days, but even if you're worried about your father's health, you still have to take care of yourself. Look at how bad your face looks. I wonder if you're the one who's sick?"
Yinzuo felt dizzy when he heard the words "Doctor Wang". Seeing that Li Yu beside Yinzhi had received the order and turned to leave, Yinzuo hurriedly grabbed his elder brother's sleeve to stop him.
"Don't worry, brother. I just didn't get enough rest these days and felt a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a good sleep in the car. Brother, I've been staying by Khan Ama's side these days, taking care of him, and I don't know what's happening outside. You guys..."
Although Yinzuo did not finish his words, Yinzhi understood what he meant. He first looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Kangxi in front of him. Then he supported Yinzuo and moved a little closer to him and whispered.
"Don't worry, Xiaoliu. Although it's true that I want the second brother's position as crown prince, I won't resort to such despicable means. The second brother is the heir that Khan Ama has spent so much effort to cultivate for so many years. Khan Ama can depose him, but that doesn't mean we can kick him when he's down. If you are Khan Ama's weak spot in the armor, the second brother is now Khan Ama's reverse scale. If you touch the reverse scale, you will die. Big brother understands this principle."
As soon as Yinzhi said this, Yinzuo felt relieved. A straightforward and loyal man like his elder brother should not have become a victim of the power struggle within their family. He should have a broader life. Rather than being trapped in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, it might be his destiny to be in charge of the battlefield and point his sword to the sky.
You ask why Yinzuo was only half relieved. The answer is actually very simple. What was Kangxi's purpose in setting up this trap? It was clearly to test his sons. Now Yinzhi understood the principle of "touching the reverse scale will lead to death", but Yinzuo was worried that his fourth brother, far away in the capital, did not understand. If he made a mistake one day, he would lose everything like Yinzhi and Yinsi in history.
