Chapter 251 Feigning Fainting, Again Feigning Fainting
Although Yinreng didn't know what Yinzuo was going to do, he still moved closer to him as requested. Then he saw a scene that shocked him. Yinzuo suddenly closed his eyes and bumped his head against the corner of a small table.
"Sixth Brother~~"
Yinreng was terrified by Yinzuo's sudden self-harm. His voice was so convoluted when he called out "Sixth Brother" that it was hard to understand why Yinreng would do this. After all, what kind of good person would do something like this to Yinzuo?
"Second brother, don't worry. Look, my forehead injury isn't serious. You'll have to cooperate well in a bit, otherwise your brother will have suffered for nothing."
Almost as soon as Yinzhu finished speaking, the study door was opened from the inside. Yinzhu knew who came out just by hearing the footsteps. He quickly closed his eyes, slumped over, and fell onto Yinreng.
"Yinreng, what's going on? He was fine just now. How did he suddenly become like this? Liang Jiugong, quickly go and bring the Imperial Physician Wang to me. Yinzuo, Yinzuo, can you hear your father?"
Yinzhuo wasn't really unconscious, so of course he could hear him. But what could he do? He was just pretending to be unconscious. He couldn't just get up like nothing had happened. Kangxi squatted down and roughly examined the wound on Yinzhuo's forehead. He reached out to pull him away from Yinreng's arms.
"Father, although my sixth brother looks thin, he is still a grown man. Let me do it."
It must be said that Yinreng's years as crown prince were not for nothing. After the initial shock, he quickly came to his senses. Fearing that Kangxi would notice something amiss when he interacted with Yinzuo, he disregarded all etiquette, got up, picked up Yinzuo, and headed towards the flower hall.
Yinzhu had heard that once a person closes their eyes, their other senses become more acute, and now he was experiencing it firsthand. It just goes to show how the tables turn; not long ago, it was his second brother lying on this very bed pretending to be unconscious, and now, in such a short time, it's his turn…
“Your Majesty, the Prince’s head wound doesn’t look serious. The reason he fainted was probably due to the shock from the impact. I’ll prescribe some medicine for him to take after he wakes up. With proper rest, he should recover in a few days.”
Listen to this, doesn't it sound familiar? It's not exactly the same as the diagnosis given to Yinreng before, but it's at least 90% similar. It seems that this Imperial Physician Wang is as wise as ever.
The wise Physician Wang's mind was currently flooded with comments: "Pretending to faint, again pretending to faint? No, is your whole family sick? What, are you playing a relay race? One radish faints, then another?"
It has to be said that Physician Wang is not only skilled in medicine, but his mouth is also like it's blessed. Look, he had just finished complaining in his heart when a little eunuch came in to report that our Prince Cheng had finally succumbed to his weakness and fainted.
Yinzhuo was faking his fainting, but Yinzhi's was genuine. Kangxi couldn't care less about being angry at this moment. He ordered people to carry the unconscious Yinzhi in and place him next to Yinzhuo. While others sat side by side and enjoyed the fruits, Yinzhuo and Yinzhi, though lying side by side, were obviously in for a surprise. Of course, they would also be given bitter medicine.
Yinzhuo's fainting was fake; when he would wake up was entirely up to him. Before, when Yinreng pretended to faint, Yinzhuo thought it was just lying there motionless—simple. But now that it was actually his turn to lie there motionless, he realized that pretending to faint was no easy task; it was pure torture.
"Damn, it hurts!"
Yinzhu couldn't keep up the act for long. He groaned softly, just like Yinreng had done before, and slowly opened his eyes. To be honest, the bump on the table had hurt quite a bit. It wasn't just a small movement; it had aggravated the pain in his forehead wound. Feeling the pain, Yinzhu's first reaction was to reach out and touch it, but his hand was grabbed by Kangxi, who was standing nearby.
"I know it hurts, so why aren't you being careful? I'm baffled. How did you end up bumping into the corner of the table? Take your hand back. The wound on your head has just been treated; you can't touch it."
Kangxi's words made Yinzhu feel guilty for a moment. He glanced at Yinreng and, seeing that his expression was normal, turned to look at his father.
“Father, you still have something to say? This is all your fault. I was so tired and sleepy after a whole day of groveling and coaxing my eldest brother. If you hadn’t punished my second and third brothers by making them kneel, I would have been dreaming by now. I dozed off while I was kneeling, and my body swayed and I bumped into the corner of the table. It’s all your fault. If you had come out of the study earlier, I wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
Yinzhi woke up at this moment. Hearing Yinzuo keep blaming him, he was in a daze and felt extremely hot-blooded. He wished he could just faint again. Kangxi was obviously used to Yinzuo's behavior of turning the tables. He habitually reached out to knock Yinzuo's forehead, but stopped when he saw the wound on his forehead.
"Don't try to frame me, you brat. Did I tell you to kneel here? Didn't I tell you to go back and rest? If you were tired, why did you have to push yourself? Now look at this cut on your forehead, I wonder if it will leave a scar."
Yinzhuo didn't care at all about Kangxi's last words, which were clearly threatening. Firstly, he knew exactly how much force he had used to injure himself. Secondly, he had absolute faith in Physician Wang's medical skills. You know, the last time his father cracked his head open with a chess box, the wound was much worse than this. Do you see any scars on his head now?
“Father, you make it sound so easy. All those kneeling in your courtyard are my brothers. How can I go back in peace? And Father, let me remind you, my fourth brother and the others are still kneeling outside. If you don’t call them in now, they’ll probably have to be carried in one by one in a little while.”
As soon as Yinzhuo said this, everyone's eyes turned to Yinzhi, who was being carried in next to him. Yinzhi had just squinted his eyes, trying to find a suitable opportunity to wake up, but now, startled by everyone's actions, he simply closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
Kangxi stared at his two sons lying on the bed for a long time before letting out a hum and gesturing for Liang Jiugong to go out and call Yinzhen and Yinqi in. When Yinzuo saw Yinzhen and the others shivering from the cold as they entered, he immediately frowned and looked at his father.
"Father, look how pitiful Fourth Brother and the others are. Not only have they been forced to kneel all afternoon by you, but they haven't had a drop of water yet. Look how cold they are. Why don't you have some compassion and have the kitchen send some food over to warm them up?"
