Chapter 514 Come on, help me hang it on that tree.
Yinzhuo completely ignored Yin's obviously provocative words, thinking they were just nonsense. He wondered what kind of rubbish Yin was spouting. Did he not want to fight his elder brother? He simply couldn't win.
"Alright, whether it's a kind person being bullied or a good horse being ridden, you're already in my hands now. Come on, stand up straight. I think you're getting worse as you get older. How come you can't even stand in a horse stance properly?"
Listen to this! You think you're so capable? You try it! I've been standing here in the blazing sun for half an hour, and you're not even lying down right now, let alone looking crooked. You should be laughing all the way to the bank...
Don't be fooled by the fact that Yinzhen doesn't dare to disobey his sixth brother; his mind is quite active. He's practically making a mental echo of every word his sixth brother says. I bet even when he was studying in the Imperial Study, his thinking wasn't as clear as it is now.
But what Yinzhuo said earlier wasn't wrong. Yinzhen is now in his hands, so even a dragon has to coil up and a tiger has to lie low, otherwise he has plenty of time and means to deal with him.
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Yinzhen isn't stupid; at this point, he certainly won't argue with his sixth brother. So what if it's just horse stance? We've been doing it since we were kids! It's only an hour; at worst, we'll walk here and be carried back…
Although Yinzhen was risking his life, Yinzhuo had watched his younger brother grow up since he was a child, so how could he really bear to make him stand in the scorching sun for a full hour?
"Alright, since you've been relatively well-behaved, let's call it a day. Dexi, go and wring out a handkerchief for your Tenth Master to wipe his sweat, then have someone bring him an ice bowl..."
What does it mean to slap someone and then give them a sweet treat? Look, this is it! Yinzhen was shoveling ice into his mouth while watching his sixth brother, who was lounging in a chair, watching him eat with a contented expression. Suddenly, he felt a surge of malice.
Of course, even with the anger fueled by the fact that he had been disciplined by Yinzhi since childhood, Yinzhi dared not do anything too outrageous. After all, his biased and protective father was still sitting in the carriage not far away.
Yinzhen quickly finished the bowl of ice in his hand, got up and walked to the chair where Yinzhu was sitting. He stared at his sixth brother for a while, and finally chose the action with the least damage and the highest retaliatory value.
He quickly approached Yinzhuo, ruffled his hair, and before Yinzhuo could react, pinched his face twice before fleeing the scene.
Yinzhu was clearly surprised that Yinxi would do something so audacious, and he sat there in disbelief for a long time before he came to his senses.
"Aisin Gioro, Yinzhen, fine, you've got guts, you just wait. Akshang, you go and take some men to tie that kid up. See that tree over there? Hang him up there. I don't believe I can't handle you..."
Akshang was Yinzhuo's bodyguard, so naturally he did everything according to Yinzhuo's wishes. Even though Yinzhuo was a prince, so what? Since his master told him to go and tie up the person, he just had to carry out the order. As for the rest, his master would take care of it.
The guards on Yinzhuo's side were all handpicked by Kangxi, so their combat skills were naturally top-notch. Akshang's execution ability was beyond question. Sure enough, in no time at all, Yinzhuo was already hanging on the big tree that Yinzhuo had designated.
Akshang led so many people into Yinzhi's carriage to help others. With such a commotion, others would naturally have seen it. And even if they hadn't seen it before, now that Yinzhi was up in a tree, how could others not see it?
As the saying goes, the higher you hang, the farther you can see. Once Yinzhen hung it on the tree, his troublesome brothers, like a swarm of buzzing bees, came running at the first sign of it.
As mentioned before, all of Yinzhi's brothers were eager to watch the drama unfold. Even though they didn't know how Yinzhi had gotten himself into this mess, it clearly didn't dampen their enthusiasm for making a fool of him.
"Hey, Tenth Brother, what's going on here today? Even if you suddenly want to swing, you could just have someone tie a rope to a tree. Why did you go up there yourself?"
“Big Brother is absolutely right, Tenth Brother, this is not how you swing. Someone come and loosen up your Tenth Master a bit. It’s tiring for us to keep craning our necks to talk to him. Besides, look at how unprofessional you are with the ropes. Leaving such a short section, how can he swing properly…”
Look at them, all of them chattering away, their words filled with nothing but schadenfreude and gloating, showing no concern or sympathy for the brothers' current predicament.
As the saying goes, there's no going back in life. Yin was filled with regret. If he could turn back time, he would definitely go back and chop off his own impulsive hand.
No, why did you provoke him? Now look what happened, not only are you hanging from a tree, but you've also become a laughing stock. You've lost both your dignity and your reputation.
Emperor Kangxi was sitting in the carriage. Of course he knew that his two troublesome sons had caused such a commotion. After all, Yinzhen was a prince, and it wasn't a good look for him to be hanging in the tree like that all the time.
"Liang Jiugong, go and have someone take Yin down from the tree, and then bring those two scoundrels here to me. I want to see what they're up to in this sweltering heat..."
When Kangxi wanted to put Yinzhen down, Yinzhen naturally didn't stop him. The two brothers followed Liang Jiugong onto the imperial carriage and saw Kangxi waiting for them with a dark face.
"Father, this isn't my fault at all. Look at how much that kid pinched my face. He's incredibly audacious. I was just giving him a small punishment..."
Yinzhuo's preemptive strike successfully diverted Kangxi's attention. Yinxi, who had spent many years in the military, was much stronger than Yinzhuo. In his haste, Yinxi didn't hold back and pinched Yinzhuo's face, leaving marks.
Emperor Kangxi already favored Yinzhi, and upon seeing the mark on his face, his gaze immediately shifted to Yinzhi standing next to him.
Although his intuition told him that he should say something to defend himself, he couldn't open his mouth when Kangxi was staring at him like that. He stammered for a long time, which only made him seem more guilty.
No, this is my dear father. If I remember correctly, I was referring to your own son, right? It's one thing if I'm biased to the point of favoritism, but to show favoritism and then scare me like this, that's your fault...
