The ministers below did not dare to say anything more, for fear of bringing the emperor's wrath upon themselves. They all lowered their heads, as if there was gold under their feet.
"Dismiss the court!" Kangxi flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Liang Jiugong quickly followed.
Kangxi was originally going to the study to check on the homework of his princes, but he was stopped at the door by a young eunuch who was on duty in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Sixth Prince has woken up!"
"Really? When did you wake up?"
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. The chief guard of the West Third House came to report that he just woke up half an hour ago."
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake." Kangxi straightened his back and showed a bright smile that had not appeared on his face for several days.
"Quick! Can you tell the Imperial Consort and the Virtuous Consort about this?"
"I dare not delay and immediately sent someone to Chengqian Palace. I think the two ladies have already known about this matter by now."
Kangxi was in a good mood today and was kind to everyone when he checked his sons' homework. Even Yinqi, who performed the worst, was not scolded, but received a word of encouragement from him.
After Kangxi left, Yinqi said to himself, "What happened to the emperor today? He's so nice to me all of a sudden. I'm not used to it. Could it be that something really happened to Xiaoliu? Has he transferred his love for Xiaoliu to me?"
Of course, he was not the only one among the brothers present who thought so, so there were still many people who were distracted in class today. Everyone was worried about Xiaoliu from the West Third Building.
Yinzuo, the protagonist who was missed by everyone, felt that he had had a long nightmare. He could not remember clearly what happened in the dream, but the boundless fear left an indelible mark in his heart.
The moment he saw his brother, he felt so aggrieved that he could only turn the fear in his heart into big tears.
She had already lost a lot of weight, and the most prominent feature of her pale face was her big, round eyes. But at this moment, those bright and clear eyes were covered with crystal clear tears, which looked so pitiful.
"Hmm..." He had been sick for half a month and had no strength at all. His crying sounded very weak. He just whimpered and it was impossible to tell what he was saying.
He raised his two little hands, grabbed his brother's hands tightly, and held them in his arms, like a poor little rabbit that had been abandoned. His eyes were red from crying, and the tip of his nose was also red.
Yinzhen leaned forward and kissed his forehead again, patted Yinzuo's back with his other hand, and patiently and softly comforted him: "Yinzuo, don't cry, don't be afraid, brother is here, brother is with you."
Nestled in his brother's warm embrace and listening to his voice, Yinzuo slowly came to his senses and his tears gradually stopped.
"Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something first?" Yinzhen touched Yinzuo's head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes one by one.
Yinzuo nodded slowly, but still held his brother's hand tightly and refused to let go, and did not speak.
"Since Sixth Prince is hungry, I will bring you a bowl of porridge!"
The conditions of the three young princes next door have begun to improve, but they are not completely recovered yet, so they have not moved back. Of course, they are not short of porridge and other food. Nanny Cheng asked for a portion and delivered it to the young master as quickly as possible.
"Sixth prince, would you mind letting me hold you and serve you some porridge? Fourth prince has been taking care of you all night without closing his eyes, so it would be good for him to eat something and rest for a while." Nanny Cheng lowered her voice to discuss with her young master.
But the young master nestling in the Fourth Prince's arms was not as easy to talk to as usual. He was unmoved and instead hid himself in the Fourth Prince's arms again. His rejection was obvious.
"Forget it, I'll sit and hold Yinzuo, and you feed him, Madam Cheng." Yinzhen didn't think there was anything serious wrong with him. The most important thing now was to take good care of the little guy in his arms.
"Yes, Sixth Prince is here. Open your little mouth." Nanny Cheng coaxed her young master to eat porridge.
Yinzuo glanced at her, then at his brother, his little mouth slightly pouted, unwilling to move, as if he wanted his brother to feed him personally.
Yinzhen smiled, adjusted his posture, took the spoon from Nanny Cheng, and very carefully scooped up half a spoonful of white porridge, about half a mouthful of Yinzuo's usual amount, and handed it to his mouth.
Only then did Yinzuo open his little mouth obediently and eat it.
Even while eating porridge, Yinzuo's eyes never left his brother's face. He seemed very insecure, as if he was afraid that his brother would disappear from his sight.
After eating less than one-third of the meal, Yinzuo shook his head and refused to eat any more. Yinzhen could only patiently coax him softly.
"Eat some more. How about we each have half of this bowl? If there's more, my brother won't be able to finish it, so it would be a waste."
Yinzuo hesitated for a while, but finally listened to his brother and ate a few more bites obediently.
As for the remaining food, Yinzhen picked up the bowl and drank it in a few big gulps.
After eating half a bowl of white porridge, Yinzuo began to feel weak. Everyone became worried, fearing that he would continue to fall into a coma, and quickly invited Doctor Bi to come over.
Doctor Bi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while examining the Sixth Prince. After repeated confirmation, he spoke cautiously.
"The condition has improved greatly. The Sixth Prince is a little sleepy. I will adjust the prescription. From now on, just take a good rest and take the medicine on time, and you will be fine in a few days."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince had no intention of speaking, Nanny Cheng had no choice but to step forward and greet him herself.
"Thank you, Imperial Doctor Bi. Let the Fourth Prince accompany the Sixth Prince to have a good sleep."
She gently lowered the bed curtain and retreated to the outer room so as not to disturb the two princes from sleeping.
Yinzuo shrank onto his brother's body again, with his hands and feet close to his brother, and he was almost about to roll himself into a ball and stuff himself into his brother's arms.
Yinzhen hugged him as much as possible, touched the back of his head, and patted his back.
However, Yinzuo always looked up at him after a while. He was obviously very sleepy and his eyes could hardly open, but he just stubbornly refused to go to bed.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Aren't you sleepy? Huh?"
"Look at my brother~" Yinzuo said in a very low voice.
"I'm always here. I'll always be with you. Go to sleep, sweetheart."
"No, my brother will disappear. I've been looking for him for a long time but couldn't find him. I called you but you didn't answer me. I'm scared." Yinzuo's emotions suddenly became a little agitated, as if he remembered some bad scenes.
Yinzhen immediately held the little guy's head in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, brother will definitely be here. Yinzuo, be obedient. Brother will recite the book to you, okay?"
“…Okay~”
Yinzhen casually picked up a passage from the Four Books that his teacher was teaching recently and recited it in a very soft voice.
Yinzuo, who had been trying hard to concentrate and stare at his brother, gradually felt his head becoming heavy, as if it was wrapped in paste. His consciousness gradually faded away and became blurry until he fell asleep completely.
But what Yinzuo didn't know was that even after he fell asleep, Yinzhen did not stop, but continued to recite in his ear and patted his back in rhythm, just to make him sleep peacefully.
Su Peisheng heard the noise inside and felt sorry for his master, so he walked forward and lifted the curtain.
Yinzhen frowned and shot his sharp eyes at him. Yinzhen, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes. He was like a lone wolf guarding his unique treasure, ready to show his fangs and claws to the enemy at any time, making it difficult for people to covet the treasure he was guarding.
Su Peisheng was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down in front of his master.
Yinzhen first glanced at Yinzuo in his arms, then carefully covered his ears and whispered to Su Peisheng.
"What are you doing here? Get out!"
Su Peisheng swallowed hard and said boldly, "Fourth Prince, since Sixth Prince is well now, why don't you go to the next room and rest for a while."
"Get out! Don't let me say it for the third time." After saying this, Yinzhen no longer looked at him.
Su Peisheng had no choice but to retreat in disappointment. He went to the outer room and then dared to rub his knee which was hurt by the hitting of the floor.
Nanny Cheng glanced at him and knew that he was also concerned about the Fourth Prince. If she put herself in his shoes, she would definitely be worried if her own master neglected his own health to take care of other princes, even if they were his brothers.
"Go eat something. Only when you are full will you have the strength to serve your master."
The servants were all crowded in the corridor to eat. During this time, Shunfeng took out a bottle of fine medicinal wine from his sleeve and handed it to Su Peisheng.
"Brother Su, this was given to me by the Sixth Prince a while ago. It works well for me. You can use it to rub the blood clot on your knee later. Otherwise, it will hurt for a few days and you won't be able to serve the Fourth Prince."
Su Peisheng looked at his eyes, which were as pure as the Sixth Prince's, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The more lively one bumped his shoulder and winked, "Hey, why are you being so polite to us? Our Sixth Prince is the Fourth Prince's biological brother. Maybe he will move to the South Third Residence in a few days. We will have many days to work together in the future. Could it be that Brother Su has become estranged from us?"
Shunshui had been suppressed for half a month, and now the Sixth Prince finally got better. He felt much more relaxed. Who doesn't want their master to be well?
