"I know what Fourth Brother said. The Emperor also said it once. There is only a short period of time. There is nothing we can do..."

Yinzhen just smiled and said, "Don't worry, just shoot a few more arrows and practice Buku a few more times, and you won't have to worry about not being able to regain your former handsome appearance!"

After a while of small talk, Yinxiang took the initiative to talk about the situation in the capital.

"The second prince's followers were accused of corruption and bribery, and were accused of taking bribes several times. All parties took action! The second prince was also accused of condoning his subordinates' evil deeds, but all the impeachments were kept by the emperor..."

It seems that the emperor still has feelings for the second brother, the crown prince. Yinzhen rested his chin on his hand, thinking thoughtfully.

"Third brother has been quite favored by the second prince in recent days. The two of them have become closer. I also discovered that the second prince seems to have changed his attitude towards you, fourth brother..." He is a little more wary than before!

Yinzhen sat firmly on the throne: "Don't worry too much. As long as I don't take that step, the second prince won't really turn around and deal with me! And don't get too close to them, the second prince's position as the crown prince will be unstable." When the emperor was completely disappointed, it was time to depose the crown prince for the second time.

Yinxiang knew what was going on, and then he talked about a bunch of people in a row, and finally talked about the Eighth Prince Yinsi, "It seems that the Eighth Brother has started to contact Tong Jia again recently. Shun Anyan and Orondai are clearly on his side, but Tong Guowei, the old fox, has reported illness and has not expressed his attitude in front of others. However, Longkodo is trying his best to get close to you, Fourth Brother..."

Longkodo! Hum!

Thinking of what he had witnessed in his early years, Yinzhen felt like a thorn in his heart, and Longkodo's existence was like a thorn in his throat.

Although his mother seemed to have severed her friendship with Longkodo in recent years, the thorn in his heart had always been there, so he was extremely unwilling to accept Longkodo's move, which seemed to be a surrender but was actually a bet.

"Don't worry about him. The Tonggiya clan is greedy for wealth and glory, and the Eighth Brother dares to get involved with them, but I don't dare! The Tonggiya clan is said to be prominent, but it is actually useless. The emperor has been keeping an eye on them, and they dare to make small moves all the time, haha!"

Yinxiang and Honghui both nodded in agreement.

Halfway through the conversation, a voice came in, "Master, Thirteenth Master, Big Prince, we have arrived at the palace gate."

When I got off the carriage, I saw a group of princes waiting at the palace gate, from Prince Heng Yinqi to Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen, even Eighth Prince Yinsi took the time to come. The sight of them lined up in a row was really dazzling.

Are you here to watch the fun?

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, put on a cold face, and turned his head to greet everyone one by one.

It is absolutely impossible to make him become enthusiastic overnight!

Yinsi was a very versatile person. He spoke to Yinqi before he could, "Fourth brother, you must have worked hard on the journey. I and others have set up a banquet to welcome you." He smiled, his face full of joy. All his guilt, fear and anger disappeared completely.

Yinzhen raised his right hand and coughed lightly, his left half leaning on Honghui, showing a bit of weakness, "Thank you, Eighth Brother and all the brothers. I just recovered from a serious illness and traveled all the way. I am probably a little cold... I am not feeling well and cannot accept the invitation. Please don't mind."

He neither wanted to accept Lao Ba's favor, nor did he want to give people the reputation of being on good terms with all the brothers!

Before Yinsi could reply, Yinzhen lost his temper and could not help but speak: "Fourth brother, you..."

Yinzhen saw the worry in his eyes, glared at him, and then interrupted him, "Fourteenth brother, I am not feeling well, I will feast with you next time. Honghui, let's go, your Mafa is still waiting for us!"

After saying these words, the father and son turned around and left. The princes who stayed behind could not help but look at each other, "Fourth brother is really true to his character, it turns out he is exactly the same as before!" He said he would not make friends with the princes and royal family members, and the only one who was close to him retreated bravely, and became more low-key and silent in front of the emperor. Only fourth brother could do this!

The father and son concentrated on their journey, ignoring all the noise and strangeness, and soon saw the gate plaque of the Qianqing Palace.

Li Dequan came to greet them from a distance: "Your Majesty, Prince Honghui, the Emperor is waiting for you two in the East Side Room!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Li." "I dare not, I dare not."...

After some pleasantries, they arrived at the place in a short while.

"Your son pays respects to the Emperor." "Your grandson pays respects to the Emperor."

Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and smiled, "Everyone, stand up. Li Dequan, why don't you take a seat?"

After some pushing and shoving, the father and son turned sideways to face Kangxi.

"It took you a full month and a half to finally get back. Are you tired along the way?"

Yinzhen bowed slightly and said, "Father, I had a smooth journey, but I am a little tired as I just recovered from a serious illness. As for Honghui, he has been by my side serving tea and water, so I guess he must be a little tired..."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to your father. Your grandson is not tired at all. He can even bend the bow and shoot arrows!" Honghui couldn't help but join in the fun.

"After all the hard work, how can you not feel tired? You are not allowed to bend the bow and shoot arrows today. When you go back, give me a rest for two days, and then you can enter the study room in a few days."

After taking care of the grandson, the next thing is the son.

"I see that you still look a bit sick, but are you in a hurry to return to the capital before you recover? Yinzhen, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you just come back by the end of the year?"

Yinzhen did not deny what he said, but only added two euphemistically: "Now that I have recovered, how can I live apart from you and mother? But my son's body is not strong enough, and I can't share the worries of the emperor, your son, your son..."

"Let's not talk about that. You should just take care of yourself. There are many people who can take care of the affairs in the court. You don't need to worry too much! Yinzhen, I heard from the imperial physician that you have injured your foundation this time. You need to take good care of yourself for at least half a year... From now on, you should stay in the mansion and recuperate. If the mansion is not suitable for recuperation, I will allow you to live in Xiaotangshan for a while. The climate there is more suitable for recuperation."

The imperial physician's words were indeed a bit exaggerated, but Yinzhen did not point it out, but tacitly agreed to it.

"Thank you, Father Emperor, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful!"

It just so happened that he felt that too many eyes were on him, so he took a step back and once again adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile.
