Chapter 299: I am sick
Chapter 299: I am sick
Yinzhen thought that although he and his fourteenth brother were born of the same mother and had been getting along more and more harmoniously over the years, there was no need to change their names to the same.
When others call Yinzhen, are they calling him or Fourteenth Brother?
Only Yinzhen was secretly happy at this time.
He didn't feel any regret at all about abandoning the name he had used for eighteen years.
His first reaction was that from now on, when Fourth Sister-in-law called her Fourth Brother, it would be as if she was calling him.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it fiercely.
How could he think so much about his fourth sister-in-law?
That's his fourth sister-in-law.
The day before Yinzhen left for the war, these brothers came one after another to see him off.
This is the first prince among them who is able to go on an expedition.
Now Yinzhen does not participate in the fight for the throne, and everyone is very kind to him.
When it was Yinzhen's turn, he patted Yinzhen dejectedly.
"Yinzhen, this is the last time I will call you by your name in my life."
Yinzhen burst out laughing.
"Now we are truly the closest of brothers."
"Okay, without further ado, be careful when you go on this expedition and don't underestimate the enemy."
"It would be best if you can come back with some military merit, but if you can't, coming back alive is also good."
Yinzhen felt a little strange when he heard Yinzhen speak to him so sincerely.
He remembered that when he was a child, his fourth brother disliked him very much and was very cold to him.
Now that they have grown up, the two brothers have become closer.
Facing such a fourth brother, he felt more and more that his thoughts in the past few days were somewhat unfair to his fourth brother.
After everyone went back, Yinzhen's place fell into silence.
Yinzhen walked out of the tent and silently looked at the bright moon in the sky.
While the other brothers could still gather together in the Bahrain tribe, he had to travel far to the west.
But the person he most wanted to see before going to the battle had not yet been seen.
Yinzhen ordered someone around him to fetch a pot of wine.
Mongolian wine is packed in cowhide bags, so not only can he drink it here, he can also carry it with him.
This wine is really delicious and mellow.
After taking a few sips, he felt tipsy.
Under the moon he seemed to see his fourth sister-in-law.
No, he couldn't do that.
Yinzhen shook his head violently.
He waved his hands wildly, trying to drive away the illusion before him.
However, his hand suddenly touched the entity.
Exceptionally delicate and smooth.
Just like that day when he helped Yixiu get off the horse.
Yinzhen woke up suddenly.
Then he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.
"Fourth sister-in-law."
He stood up hurriedly and tried to salute.
"No need to be so polite, Fourteenth Brother."
Yixiu took a small bundle from Jianqiu and put it in Yinzhen's hand.
"You will be going to war tomorrow, so I prepared some things for you that may be useful."
Yinzhen was secretly delighted.
Fourth sister-in-law is so considerate to him.
Not only did she prepare useful things for him, she also delivered them personally - she could have asked the servants to deliver them.
"Open it and take a look."
Yinzhen opened the bundle as he was told.
There were several bamboo jars filled with medicine, as well as tinder, whetstones and other miscellaneous items.
None of them were expensive things, but they were exactly what he needed.
"If you use a porcelain bottle to store medicine, it may break easily. A bamboo jar is much stronger."
"Fourth sister-in-law is so thoughtful. If I were asked to prepare it myself, I would definitely not think so carefully."
Yinzhen put away the bag carefully.
Yixiu looked up at him.
The child who used to be shorter than my shoulder is now a head taller than me.
His face had lost its childishness and had acquired the maturity of a man.
His voice was no longer as childish as before, but deep and pleasant.
Yi Xiu smiled and said, "If we win this time, your wish to become the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty will come true."
"Then I'll just have to thank my fourth sister-in-law."
-----------------
Not long after Yinzhen set out, Emperor Kangxi fell ill.
Yixiu knew that although Emperor Kangxi still had more than ten years to live, he was already old and would always have many small problems.
On weekdays, Emperor Kangxi did not pay much attention to his health and was out running around all year round.
The long journey, coupled with the change of seasons, caused me to fall ill all of a sudden.
The banquet here will not continue.
His group of sons gathered around his bed, each of them with worry in their eyes.
To put it more exaggeratedly, the eldest brother Yinzhen was already crying at this time.
"Father Emperor, you must get better soon."
Yinzhen and Yinsi's eyes were slightly red, and tears were about to fall.
After a while, Yinzhen got up and went to ask the imperial physician again.
Emperor Kangxi felt like laughing.
He felt that he only had some minor problems this time. Although he seemed a little seriously ill, he should be able to recover soon.
The expressions of these sons seemed as if he was about to leave.
However, apart from the slightly exaggerated acting of some individuals, Emperor Kangxi felt that his sons should be sincere to him.
After all, they had many happy times between father and son.
Emperor Kangxi smiled.
The happiest things in life should happen at this time.
As for his sons, they have all grown up and become successful, and they all think of him as their royal father.
Suddenly his smile froze.
His eyes fell on Yinreng.
Baocheng, whom he valued the most, had a calm look in his eyes.
Even coldness.
He seemed to have no concern for the health of his royal father.
I just have to come here to fulfill my duties as a son.
Emperor Kangxi thought of the time when Citigroup died.
The prince cried for a long time.
Then I fell seriously ill.
Even after she recovered from her illness, she still mourned for her male lover in the Prince's mansion!
He is Yinreng's biological father. Could it be that in his heart he is not as good as a male concubine?
Emperor Kangxi was extremely angry.
His throat was churning and his mouth tasted fishy and sweet.
Then he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Everyone in the room panicked, and Yinzhen immediately pulled the imperial physician over, "Hurry!"
The imperial physician felt trembling as he felt the pulse of Emperor Kangxi, fearing that the emperor would die in his hands.
After a while, the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief, "My Lords, the emperor is fine. The emperor has a breath stuck in his heart, which has turned into blood clots over time. Vomiting it out now will help his recovery."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Yinreng, who still had no expression.
Emperor Kangxi's expression suddenly turned bad.
"You all get out."
The other princes looked at each other, wondering how they had suddenly made the emperor angry.
However, Emperor Kangxi was angry and no one wanted to offend him.
Soon he and Sandezi were the only ones left in the room.
"San Dezi, why aren't you sad at all?"
Sandezi believed that Emperor Kangxi did not need his answer this time.
But he still thought about it before answering.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is probably not sad, but he is more rational now that he has seen that the Emperor is not seriously ill."
"reason?"
Emperor Kangxi's face darkened.
"Why is he so irrational about that actor?"
"Everything I do is for his own good."
"Yinzhen and the others didn't even want me to make such arrangements for them."
"He actually treated my kindness like a worn out shoe."
San Dezi said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince——"
Emperor Kangxi interrupted him.
"Give orders that starting tomorrow, the princes will take turns tending to the sick."
"Except the prince."
"Since he doesn't want to be sad for me, then there is no need for him to come."
Sandezi looked at Emperor Kangxi, whose face was filled with anger.
Your Majesty, why are you doing this?
Isn't this forcing the prince further away from you?
The princes were also shocked by Kangxi's edict.
Now, let alone the eldest, fourth and eighth older princes, even the younger princes who were not yet adults realized that the crown prince was in a bad situation.
The little ones didn't even know how to talk behind others' backs. As soon as they left the emperor's house, they stood in the open space in the yard and started chattering.
"Didn't the Emperor love the Crown Prince the most in the past? Why doesn't he allow the Crown Prince to visit him now?"
Another slightly older prince said, "I heard that the Crown Prince made the Emperor angry a few days ago, and now he simply refuses to see the Crown Prince. Do you think he will dislike the Crown Prince anymore in the future?"
It is said that children speak without restraint. If the child were a few years older, he would definitely not say such things in broad daylight.
But now, they are still young.
"what are you guys saying?"
Yinreng's voice came from behind.
After coming out of the Emperor's room, Yinreng did not leave.
He didn't know why the emperor suddenly got angry.
He just felt that he was already thirty years old, and it was really not decent for him to cry in public like those little kids.
He had originally thought of taking this opportunity to demonstrate his calmness and decisiveness in dealing with things, but he didn't expect to make the Emperor so angry.
So he waited here deliberately, wanting Sandezi to come out and ask him to help explain a few words.
Unexpectedly, he heard everything the two little princes said.
Yinreng would not explain to these two little kids whose hair had not even fully grown.
So he angrily scolded: "Which palace is your mother from? I want to see if this is how she teaches her children on a daily basis?"
"Father Emperor? Why did you come out?"
The older prince looked up and pointed behind Yinreng.
"Ah? Father Emperor?"
Yinreng turned around quickly, but saw no one except the eunuch who was on duty not far away.
When he turned back again, the two men had already run away and only their backs were left. As a 30-year-old prince, he couldn't lower himself to chase two children in the palace.
----------------------------
After waiting for a while, Yinreng still didn't see Sandezi come out.
He moved closer to the entrance of the hall, quietly put his ear against the door, and tilted his head to try to hear what was going on inside.
"My Lord, this is against the rules... Please spare me."
The little servant on duty at the door knelt at Yinreng's feet and kowtowed repeatedly.
Those who served Kangxi knew that he particularly hated being peeped at.
Not to mention Kangxi, which emperor throughout history would not be afraid of such a thing?
However, Yinreng not only kicked the kneeling eunuch away, but also secretly opened the door a crack, trying to spy on what was going on inside.
He must know, is the emperor really planning to depose him by targeting him like this?
If this is true, how should he deal with it...
He has been the crown prince since childhood. If he were replaced at this time, not to mention the issue of face, no matter who the other party is, he has been suppressed by him for decades.
If he becomes the new emperor one day, he will definitely take revenge on me!
At that time, wouldn't I be the fish on the chopping board? !
If the Emperor really had this idea, he would have to prepare early...
--------------------
Kangxi was still lying in bed at this time and did not see Yinreng's actions.
But there were many people outside the palace gate, and if Yinreng kept looking, he would eventually be discovered.
The young eunuch was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Emperor’s biological son, but he is not.
He did know that the last eunuch who caught the prince "peeping" while on duty was dragged down and beaten to death by Kangxi the next day.
He secretly took a look and saw that he was covered in blood, which kept him awake for several nights.
"A-choo!"
"A-choo!"
"A-choo!!!"
Suddenly three sneezes came from the sky. San Dezi inside heard it, frowned and walked over to scold: "What's going on? Your Majesty is still resting inside. You should be careful of your head if you disturb your Majesty!"
Although he scolded loudly, he was happy in his heart. San Dezi understood that the little eunuch was secretly reminding him.
It seems that I was right to promote him to this position. He is a smart and clever boy.
Looking at Yinreng's hurriedly leaving back, San Dezi cast an "understanding" look at the young eunuch, turned around and reported to Kangxi:
"Oh, it's all those ignorant little bastards. They caught a cold a few days ago and didn't take care of it. Today they came to work. Did they scare His Majesty?"
Kangxi waved his hands and said, "Don't try to cover up. Tell me the truth. When did the servants in front of the palace dare to disturb me?"
Obviously, although Kangxi was feeling uncomfortable, his mind was not confused yet.
"Tell the truth." Kangxi coughed and said, "Do you dare to deceive me now?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" San Dezi quickly knelt down and apologized, "Even if I had the courage, I would not dare to deceive Your Majesty."
"It's really... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was standing at the entrance of the palace, and the eunuch on duty couldn't dissuade him, so he had to speak out. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Kangxi knew that the young eunuch was just trying to save his own life.
He sighed deeply and became more and more disappointed with Yinreng.
You couldn't see any sadness in him just now, and now he's peeping secretly. Could it be that he can't wait to succeed to the throne?
----------------------------
The place where Kangxi recuperated was in the Balin tribe, a place called Jingcheng Hall.
This place was originally a place where the Mongolian Khan came to study and rest. It was vacated because Kangxi fell ill.
Therefore, in addition to the people brought by Kangxi himself, there would occasionally be some Mongolians appearing inside and outside the palace.
The eldest prince Yinzhi quickly seized the opportunity.
