Chapter 103 I Don't Want to Be Yang Guo
Even though Liang Jiugong knew everything, he couldn't take advantage of the situation and accuse Yinzhi of wrongdoing. So he simply lowered his head and followed the hurried Kangxi towards Yinzhi's tent.
"Why aren't you guys going inside? What are you doing standing around here? Tenth Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Kangxi's question only made things worse; it caused Yinzhi, who had been feeling a little better, to burst into tears again.
"Father, sob sob sob... It's all my fault that Sixth Brother got hurt. If I had listened to him and not gone into the forest, we wouldn't have encountered the tiger. If we hadn't encountered the tiger, Sixth Brother wouldn't have gotten hurt..."
Well, now Kangxi doesn't need to ask anyone else. Didn't Yinzhen make himself quite clear? Kangxi wanted to scold him, but looking at Yinzhen crying miserably in front of him, and thinking of his mother who had recently passed away, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Alright, you don't need to stay here anymore. Go back to your own tents and rest. We'll talk about everything after your sixth brother wakes up."
Kangxi and the others were talking outside the tent, and Yinti, who was inside, naturally couldn't miss it, so he quickly got up and came out to greet them.
"Father, you're back. The imperial physician has already examined my sixth brother's injury. The dislocation and breakage have been reset and stabilized. The physician said it's not too serious, and with proper rest, he can live a normal life without any problems."
Kangxi dismissed Yinzhuo and the other young ones, nodded to Yinti, and walked into the tent. He bent down and carefully examined Yinzhuo by the bedside. He found that apart from the more serious injury to his shoulder, the rest of the body only had some minor abrasions and superficial injuries, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yinti, tell me what you know."
Upon hearing this, Yinti recalled the entire story of how he saved Yinzuo, then summarized his thoughts and replied.
"Reporting to Father, this morning, I led my men into the forest and soon encountered two deer. After hunting them, we realized that carrying them along to continue hunting was too cumbersome, so we decided to send the deer back to the camp first and then turn back. On the way, we heard the angry roar of a tiger, so I led my men to find it. Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived, we saw that Yinzhuo had been knocked off his horse by a tiger's paw. I shot and killed the tiger. Seeing that my sixth brother was seriously injured, I had him carried back."
When Kangxi heard Yinti say that he arrived just in time to see Yinzuo being knocked off his horse by a tiger's paw, his heart tightened. When he heard that Yinti had shot and killed the tiger, saving Yinzuo and Yinxi from its jaws, he felt a surge of relief. He thought it was fortunate that Yinti had made the last-minute decision to send the two deer back to the camp; otherwise, Yinzuo and Yinxi would likely have been in grave danger, and even if they had escaped, they would have suffered more than just a shoulder injury.
"Yes, it was thanks to you that Yinqi was able to escape from danger this time. You must be tired after guarding Yinzhuo all day. Go back to your tent and rest. I'll take care of things here."
Yinqi glanced at Kangxi, who was still wearing his armor, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. He bowed to him and took his leave from Yinzuo's tent.
After Yinti left, only Kangxi and the unconscious Yinzuo remained in Yinzuo's tent. Kangxi got up, moved a chair to the bedside, sat down, and gently patted Yinzuo's forehead.
"You're lucky this time, kid. You owe it all to your older brother, otherwise you'd be in big trouble."
When Yinzhu woke up, it was already late at night. As soon as he regained consciousness, he felt only one word: pain. It was a pain that affected his entire body, especially his shoulders.
"Ouch... Dexi!"
Kangxi was worried because Yinzhuo was a light sleeper. Almost as soon as Yinzhuo made a sound on the bed, he would sit up and get up. When he saw Yinzhuo move his body and mumble a pained cry, he quickly got up and went to the bedside.
"If you feel pain, don't move. Dexi is guarding outside the tent. Your father is here. If you have anything to say, talk to your father."
Yinzhu opened his eyes groggily, and was somewhat stunned when he saw Kangxi. He seemed not to understand why Kangxi was there. He tried to rub his eyes, but found that his arm hurt terribly when he moved it. Only then did he remember that he had encountered a tiger when he went to the forest to look for Yinzhen. In the end, his elder brother came to save him and Yinzhen's lives. Judging from the current situation, he had already returned to the camp.
"Father, where is my elder brother?"
Kangxi was relieved to see that Yinzhuo was no longer moving around. He pulled over the chair he had been sitting in and sat down again. He reached out and touched Yinzhuo's forehead. Seeing that he did not have a fever, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your elder brother brought people to carry you back and guarded you for several hours. After I returned, I let him go back to rest. How are you feeling now? Besides your shoulder, is there anything else that's uncomfortable?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhuo felt the pain all over his body and realized that there wasn't a single comfortable spot on his body.
"Father, my son is in pain all over his body, especially his shoulder. What did the imperial physician say about my arm? Will it be useless in the future?"
After Yinqi left, Kangxi summoned Imperial Physician Wang again and inquired about it. Upon learning that Yinzhuo's arm injury might be related to riding and archery, Kangxi shared Yinqi's earlier thoughts: as long as it didn't hinder daily life, that was fine. As for riding and archery, he reiterated that his family was wealthy and powerful; surely they could afford to raise a child like Yinzhuo. However, now, facing his pitiful son asking him questions, Kangxi found himself at a loss for words.
"It's alright. Just take good care of yourself and you'll get better. Besides, with your father here, you won't suffer any injustice."
Yinzhuo had still held some hope for his arm, but upon hearing Kangxi's words, he immediately concluded that his arm was ruined. In his anxiety, he almost fainted again.
"Yinzuo, Yinzuo, are you alright? Someone, go and fetch Physician Wang."
Yinzhuo's actions startled Kangxi greatly. He wanted to shake Yinzhuo but was afraid of hurting him with too much force, so he could only send someone to bring the imperial physician Wang over.
It took Yinzhuo a while to accept the fact that his arm would be crippled. He kept comforting himself, "It's okay. I'm lucky in this life. I was born into the royal family. I'm a nobleman. Even if I lose an arm and can't move in bed, no one will dare to neglect me. But... even so, it doesn't mean I want to be like Yang Guo."
The imperial physician was hurriedly brought to Yinzhuo's tent in the middle of the night, thinking something had happened to him. But when he entered, he was stunned to see the father and son sitting and lying down staring at each other. No, this was not the case. The Sixth Prince did not look like anything was wrong.
"Doctor Wang, come and take a look at him. He almost fainted again just now."
Seeing that Emperor Kangxi had gotten up and made room for him by the bed, Imperial Physician Wang hurried over, sat down, and then, after calming himself down, took Yinzhuo's arm to take his pulse.
