Breeze

Not long after, Xing Nian led a young eunuch in, with an ugly expression on his face, he pushed the young eunuch and knelt down, and Xing Nian also knelt down, saying: "Your Majesty, it was this slave who made the noise just now. He originally He is an errand in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he knows the rules, the servant asked him why he dared to disturb the emperor, and he said he came to ask the emperor for help."

Xing Nian looked at Kangxi's face, it was neither cloudy nor sunny, but he didn't look angry, and then said: "This little bastard was originally the apprentice of the servant, and the servant knew him... that's why I took the courage to bring him back. Let him come in and let him report to the emperor."

Kangxi said in a deep voice: "Then tell me, whose life do you want me to save?"

Zhao Hui kowtowed three times on the ground before saying: "Back to the emperor, the servants were sent by the emperor to serve Hong Zhou elder brother, so I dare not be unsatisfied. Now Hong Zhou elder brother is with Prince Yong, and he is about to be beaten by the prince. Dead! The slaves dare not offend the prince, but they also dare not look at elder brother Hongzhou... That's why they came here to beg the emperor to save elder brother Hongzhou!"

Kangxi listened and looked at Yinqi intuitively.Yin Qi was also extremely shocked, why was Hong Zhou beaten by the fourth elder brother just after he passed by?

He also said that he was about to be beaten to death, how hard it was to be beaten.Where did Hong Zhou offend the fourth elder brother?Or is the fourth prince's suspicion so serious that he can't tolerate Hong Zhou anymore?

Kangxi asked anxiously: "What's going on? How did Yinzhen hit him so hard?"

Zhao Hui cried: "I don't know what's going on. It's just that elder brother Hongzhou went back and said he was paying his respects to the prince. He went into the prince's study and didn't say a few words. Beat hard, beating to death is the best. They all use wooden sticks as thick as thighs, and when the servants came over, they had already beaten them several times!"

Sticking is not a light thing, for a child like Hong Zhou, if he hits hard, ten or so strokes can kill him.

Kangxi hurriedly said: "Then you don't stop?"

Zhao Hui said: "The slaves dare not stop. The prince said, whoever dares to stop, he will do it himself!"

Kangxi sighed, looked at Xing Nian, then at Yinqi, and said, "Yinqi, go and see what's going on. Good luck, stop your fourth brother!"

Yin Qi was also anxious, eager for his words, so he immediately responded: "Yes."

~~~~~~~

Following Zhao Hui to the fourth elder brother's other courtyard outside the garden, and after working hard for a while, Yin Qi only felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat, and he was extremely anxious.

Now that he has worked hard, if the fourth elder brother was really cruel, ten Hong Zhou would have beaten him to death.Now I can only hope that the fourth elder brother is just acting for others to watch, and the servants also know the severity, so don't be so cruel.

Hurrying into the yard, there was a lot of noise in the yard, Yin Qi ran over and saw a man lying on the bench, exactly like Hong Zhou, but the fourth elder brother was holding a wooden stick and beating him one after another.

On the side, Si Fujin Nala wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and repeatedly advised the fourth elder brother not to beat him, but he didn't dare to go up to stop him, crying until his eyes were red.Hong Zhou's mother-in-law didn't follow, only a woman in the flag dress who looked at the delicate and weak stood aside, also wiped her tears, and whispered softly to persuade the fourth elder brother to stop.

But Hong Zhou didn't even make a sound, Yin Qi was anxious and scared, and couldn't care less, ran straight over, stood in front of the fourth elder brother, and covered Hong Zhou with his shoulders.

The fourth elder brother couldn't hold back his hand for a while, and the stick fell on Yin Qi's body twice again, and Yin Qi almost fainted from the pain.

He quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, be merciful! No matter what the fault is, you can't beat him like this! Hong Zhou's life is at stake!"

The fourth elder brother threw the stick aside, and was out of breath.He watched Yinqi get up from Hongzhou, his face was gloomy, and he said, "Yinqi, what are you doing here? Don't stop me from teaching this evil son!"

Yinqi felt that his shoulders were broken by the fourth elder brother, so he took a breath and stood up reluctantly, saying: "My lord, even if there is a big mistake, Hong Zhou is still a child. The lord taught him that How can you beat him like this? It’s not like killing him! The prince always has to keep him so that he can teach him to change his ways. "

The fourth elder brother snorted coldly, and said: "I'm going to beat this evil animal to death today! I don't know the dignity, offend my elder brother, what are you keeping him for? Will he cause trouble for me in the future? Change? I think I'm counting on him in this life No more!"

After hearing this, Yinqi intuitively looked at Hongli who was standing aside.Just seeing that Hongli had a big swelling on his head, his expression was a little ugly, but he still looked at Hongzhou with concern in his eyes.Seeing Yinqi looking at him, Hongli was stunned at first, then a look of grievance appeared on his face, and then turned into stubbornness in an instant.

With his situation like this, Yin Qi thought of another person, and quickly said: "It was my fault today, if the prince blames me, he should also reprimand me, let Hong Zhou be spared."

The fourth elder brother stared at him and said: "Don't excuse this evil animal! I heard people say with my own ears today, how this evil animal is presumptuous in front of Brother Hongxi!"

Yin Qi hurriedly said: "My lord, it really wasn't Hong Zhou's fault! It turned out that Yin Qi and Hong Xi Baylor joked too much... Besides, even if Hong Zhou said something wrong or did something wrong, the lord beat him like this , is also a lesson...My lord, please spare him!"

The Nala family on the side also said: "My lord, what I said is definitely not true, Hong Zhou has always been a sensible person, and he would never offend Hong Xi Baylor... Now you have beaten him unconscious , if the fight continues, it will really kill him! My lord, you don't want to think about Hong Zhou, you also think about Geng Shi, how can I explain to her when I go back!"

Fourth elder brother's eyes were gloomy, he stared at the motionless Hong Zhou for a long time, then sighed, and said: "If this beast causes any serious troubles in the future, it's all because of you pampering him today!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away, Nala looked at him and ignored him, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go to Xuan Imperial Physician!"

However, the imperial physician followed Yinqi. He was an old imperial physician who usually sees the palaces of the princes, and it was very appropriate.Yin Qi saw that the heavy cotton trousers on Hongzhou's body were soaked with blood, and felt that his heart was tense. He didn't dare to see the imperial doctor to treat Hongzhou, but he couldn't turn his eyes away.On the one hand, I was anxious, I just hoped that the imperial doctor's hands would move faster, on the other hand, I was afraid of seeing Hongzhou's wound.

The clothes were taken off, the imperial doctor looked at it again, and said: "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound. It's probably the first time for the prince to hit someone with a board. His hand is strong, but the blow is not heavy. It will take a few days alright."

Yin Qi hurriedly asked: "But I see, the blood has soaked the cotton trousers, why is it not heavy?"

While applying the medicine to Hong Zhou, the imperial physician said: "The skin is open, so it will bleed naturally. But since there is no injury to the muscles and bones, it will not be serious. When the scabs form, you can walk around on the ground like ordinary people."

Only then did Yin Qi heave a sigh of relief, watching the imperial physician apply the medicine to Hong Zhou, and ordered the servants around him to decoct the medicine for Hong Zhou to drink, and explained the points to pay attention to, and then began to write the pulse record.

Standing beside him was Hongli, who was also poking his head out to watch the imperial physician circle around Hongzhou.Yinqi's heart moved, and he said to the imperial physician: "I have to trouble the imperial physician to show the fourth elder brother too. He has a lump on his head, but he doesn't know what's wrong?"

When he asked, he was asking about Nala, and Nala wiped his tears again, and said: "This is also the fourth master's beating! The fourth master wanted to beat Hongzhou to death, Hongli went up to persuade him, but he pushed him to the ground .Here, a piece of oily skin was wiped off my cheek."

Hongli's head and face were just minor wounds, the imperial doctor gave him a little plaster for scratches and bruises, and asked him to follow Hongzhou to drink a dose of medicine for removing fire and clearing internal heat, and he didn't even leave a pulse.Hongli asked the little eunuch beside him to take the ointment given by the imperial physician, and thanked him, but his eyes were fixed on Yinqi.

Yin Qi walked over, held his hand, and said, "Si elder brother, why don't you put the medicine on soon? To save your face from being swollen tomorrow, but it's not good-looking. Why don't I put it on for you?"

A look of joy flashed across Hongli's face, and he said, "Then I will trouble Uncle 23."

Yin Qi took a cotton-wrapped stick and applied plaster to Hongli. While applying it, he heard someone beside him say: "Sister, this uncle 23 really loves my nephew."

The one with a soft voice was the woman who stood with Nalashi to persuade the fourth elder brother just now.She was originally the fourth elder brother's family member, but Yinqi was young and there were so many people around, she didn't escape and stayed here like Nalashi.

Just listen to Nala's way: "23rd brother grew up with Hong Zhou, so he is naturally close to Hong Li."

Yin Qi looked at the delicately dressed woman in the pink flag dress, with a bulging belly, obviously pregnant, and wondered how she dared to stay in such a crowded and smelly place.

He didn't have to deal with such a woman who was not Prince Yong's official wife, so he pretended that he hadn't seen her, but told Hongli: "Be careful in the future. You bumped on the head, the position is unlucky, I'm afraid it's Bi Hong After hitting so many boards in the daytime, you are still seriously injured. Didn't Wang Ye Fujin feel sorry for you?"

Hongli just smiled, as if he had picked up something good, not as if he had been beaten.

After rubbing the plaster on Hongli, Yin Qicai turned to look at Hongzhou who was lying on the bed. He was lying on the bed with his brows tightly furrowed, but he still didn't wake up.

Yin Qi sighed, took the handkerchief from Zhao Hui next to him, and wiped Hong Zhou's face.A small face was covered with sweat and dust, and there was a gash on the lip, which looked pitiful.

Nala went to the bed, looked at Yinqi wiping Hongzhou's face, and Hongli standing aside, and said with a smile: "23rd brother is really more dedicated than me as a mother-in-law, I really feel ashamed. "

Yinqi raised his head and said with a smile: "On weekdays, sometimes I gossip, and Hongzhou often says that Fujin is kind, just like my mother-in-law, and I can't say that I am ashamed. Today, I dragged them down, and I took care of them. They should too."

Nala smiled and sighed: "Your Highness has such a temper. The closer you are to someone, the less you can tolerate any mistakes. Today I heard that Hong Zhou disrespected Brother Hong Xi. When he came out of the garden, he He was on fire. Then I don’t know which sentence Hongzhou said wrong, but he was annoyed. I can’t even persuade him.”

Yinqi also sighed, turned to Hongli and said, "Today, Brother Si suffered an unreasonable disaster. It's my fault."

Hongli only smiled and said, "I don't blame Uncle 23 at all."

~~~~~~~

Asking Su Yao to call Zhang Zhenchun to accompany Hong Zhou, Yin Qi reluctantly felt relieved and went back to tell Kangxi about it.It's just that he hasn't seen Hong Zhou wake up yet, so he's really uneasy.

When they arrived at Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi was having lunch. When he saw Yinqi coming in to salute, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter? Is Hongzhou okay? What did Yinzhen say?"

Yinqi said: "When my son came back, Hong Zhou was still awake. He was beaten by the fourth elder brother himself, and he was beaten unconscious. But the imperial doctor said that it was just a flesh injury, not serious. It will be fine after a few days of care. .”

Only then did Kangxi feel relieved, picked up his chopsticks again, and said, "Then what did Yinzhen say? Why did he beat Hongzhou?"

Yinqi glanced at Kangxi, he didn't believe that Kangxi didn't know what happened just now.After hesitating for a while, Yin Qi said: "It turned out that... because Erchen was joking with Brother 21, after a while, he was seen by others, and somehow it spread to the ears of Brother 21, and it became Hong Zhou and Brother [-] being mischievous." The fourth elder brother was so angry that Hong Zhou didn't know how to be superior or inferior, and Hong Zhou didn't know what contradictory words he said, so the fourth elder brother got angry and beat him..."

Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that."

Yinqi didn't dare to answer, but Kangxi didn't ask any further, he just said: "This Yinzhen, I think he is older and has a better temper. But why is he still such a temper!"

Yinqi hurriedly said: "Si elder brother has a temperament of jealousy and hatred, and he has always been self-disciplined and introspective. The closer the people around him, the stricter they are, for fear that he will not stand upright and be difficult to convince others. This is right for Hong The day is a bit harsher, so it's not because of cruelty."

Kangxi sighed: "He is so old that he only has these few heirs, and he doesn't know how to cherish them! Hmph! If it is broken, it's not just his son, it's my grandson!"

Then he said again: "Yinqi, get up. You haven't eaten yet? With me..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yinqi swaying, instead of getting up from the ground, he fell to the ground instead.

Kangxi leaned out of the kang with half of his body, and quickly asked: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Xing Nian hurriedly hugged Yinqi onto Kangxi's kang, Yinqi gritted his teeth and inhaled, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing... Maybe I'm very hungry and dizzy."

It's just that Kangxi looked at him as if he was in pain, and said with a serious face: "You are just hungry? Then why is your face so pale? Xing Nian, hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

Yinqi hurriedly said: "Huang Ama! Don't bother! Yinqi is fine!"

Kangxi just didn't listen to him, and called the imperial doctor Xuan to come over.

Not long after, Wang Yi came.After taking Yinqi's pulse, Wang Yi said, "Just by looking at the pulse, I'm incompetent and can't make a diagnosis. Could you ask Brother 23 to take off his shirt so I can look at the wound?"

Kangxi was shocked when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Why isn't it sick? Is it hurt? Who dares to hurt Yinqi? Yinqi! Why didn't you tell me anything!? You dare to hide it when you are hurt If you didn't fall just now, you still want to keep me in the dark?"

Yin Qi took off his clothes while being served by Xing Nian, and said with a wry smile: "It's not a big deal... It's Yin Qi's sin to make Huang Ama worry so much... Thinking about it, I went back and wiped my clothes." The plaster will be fine..."

Kangxi said solemnly: "You are injured on your shoulder and back, how can you ignore it! You have to teach the doctor to take a good look at it!"
