The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 128: The Deposed Crown Prince (2)

As Prince Nineteen's condition worsened, Kangxi summoned all the princes.

Yinyou was afraid that he could not pretend to be sad, so he deliberately wore a ginger handkerchief.

When the time comes, I will secretly wet my saliva, wipe it with a ginger handkerchief, and then touch the corners of my eyes, and the tears will come out automatically.

To be honest, apart from the fact that he was nominally his younger brother, Yinyou had almost no interaction with the Nineteenth Brother.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to expect Yinyou to have deep feelings for the Nineteenth Prince.

However, with a crazy father, Yinyou had to make some preparations in advance in order to protect himself.

Kangxi sat beside the couch, staring at each of his own sons who came to visit the Nineteenth Prince with a fierce look.

When it was Yinyou's turn, he anxiously reached out and touched Old Nineteen's forehead. Hmm, he had a severe fever!

Immediately afterwards, Yinyou reached into the quilt again. Oh, Old Nineteen was feeling hot all over!
After all, he is his biological brother and only a few years old, so Yinyou can easily associate him with Old Eighteen, who is of similar age.

At this time, Yinyu didn't care about the pros and cons, and immediately knelt at Kangxi's feet and took the initiative to suggest: "Khan Ama, your quilt is too thick, which is not conducive to reducing fever. I think you should cover yourself with less quilt, drink more water, and wipe your body with warm water, which may help reduce fever quickly. If the Mongolian princes have an ice cellar, you can get some ice and apply it on your head or hold it under your armpits."

In fact, what Yinyou did was based on the physical cooling methods taught to him by a professor of pediatrics at a top university when his son was a child and always had fevers for no apparent reason.

Because a moderate low fever in the human body is actually beneficial to improving the body's immunity.

Only persistent high fever is fatal.

Seeing that Yinyou spoke so convincingly, Kangxi felt somewhat moved.

However, when the imperial physicians were called in and asked, their collective opinion was: it was unheard of and unbelievable.

If it weren’t for Yinyou’s suggestion, the imperial doctors would definitely have said: What nonsense!

Several foreign medical missionaries followed Yinyou to Mulan Paddock. Because the foreign devils had very special appearances, they would definitely not be able to hide from others.

So, Yinyou took the initiative to suggest inviting a foreign doctor to treat the patient. Let's give it a try?
Kangxi had suffered from malaria, which was cured by a foreign missionary. He had great confidence in Western medicine, so he adopted Yinyou's advice.

However, when foreign doctors proposed bloodletting, they were fiercely opposed by the imperial physicians.

Kangxi also thought it was too outrageous, so he drove both the foreign doctor and Yinyou out of the imperial tent.

The foreign doctor didn't have to see him, but Yinyou didn't dare go far. He just stayed outside the imperial tent and stood with his brothers.

Natural antibiotics such as Houttuynia cordata only have a bactericidal effect and have no fever-reducing effect, so Yinyou didn't dare to say more.

If anything happens to the Nineteenth Prince after eating Houttuynia cordata, Yinyou will be courting his own destruction.

Suddenly, Kangxi's angry voice was heard from inside the big tent: "Second prince, your brother is so seriously ill, and you don't seem to be sad at all? I have painstakingly cultivated you for more than 30 years, but I never thought that you would be such a heartless and ungrateful person..."

The more Kangxi cursed, the louder his voice became, and the colder he felt inside.

Yinyou watched coldly from the sidelines and suddenly noticed that the eldest brother's eyes were inexplicably shining, as if he was eager to try.

This idiot, Yinyou was too lazy to look at him anymore.

To be honest, Yinyou's brothers, including the third, fourth and eighth brothers, had no feelings for the nineteenth brother.

To be honest, it is impossible to force them to pretend to be sad.

However, the Qing Dynasty is Kangxi's Qing Dynasty, and everything must be based on his views!

If a child's high fever persists, it can be very fatal!
Late in the night, Kangxi's anxious voice was suddenly heard from inside the tent, "You imperial doctors are all useless. Hurry up and call Xiao Shiwu in!" It sounded like a desperate man trying any possible means to cure his illness.

After Yinyou entered the tent, he was shocked to find that Old Nineteen had a fever and started talking nonsense!
In the critical moment, Yinyou completely forgot to calculate the interests involved, and quickly ordered someone to bring warm water. He wrung out a wet towel with his own hands and decisively wiped the whole body of Old Nineteen.

Another negative consequence of a persistent high fever is severe dehydration.

At this critical juncture, Yinyou simply took action himself and pinched Old Nineteen's cheeks very hard, forcing him to open his mouth.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and fill the water."

Seeing that Liang Jiugong hesitated and didn't dare to drink the water, Yinyou was so angry that he simply raised his leg and kicked him.

This ballless dog eunuch is full of evil intentions!
After being kicked, Liang Jiugong picked up the bowl, put it to Lao Shijiu's mouth, and poured the warm water into it.

"One bowl of water is definitely not enough, give me another bowl!" Yinyu didn't care what Kangxi thought. The most important thing now was to save people.

After drinking two bowls of water, Yinyou wrung out the warm towel himself and wiped Old Nineteen's entire body, hoping to help lower his body temperature quickly.

Yinyou has done everything he can, and the rest he can only leave to fate!
Yinyou took a heavy breath and stared at Old Nineteen when suddenly someone wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.

Yinyu looked up almost subconsciously. Oh, Kangxi actually wiped his sweat for him personally? "Damn it, I was so busy that I didn't notice it..." Yinyu tried to explain incoherently.

Kangxi waved his hand to stop Yinyou's explanation, sighed and said: "I am not blind, why don't you sit down and have a rest?" He raised his hand and pointed at the small stool that Liang Jiugong brought.

"I am not tired. I just hope that Khan Ama will bless me, my nineteenth brother, and help me get rid of the high fever smoothly!"

The prince was standing the whole time, if Yinyou sat down, he would be a big fool!

Perhaps it was God's will. When it was almost dawn, Lao Shijiu's high fever finally eased.

Kangxi touched the forehead of the old man, whose fever had mostly subsided, and with unprecedented gentleness, he told Yinyu: "Go down and have a rest. Don't tire yourself out!"

However, Old Nineteen’s condition only lasted for a few days before it suddenly took a turn for the worse and he had a high fever again.

At this point, no matter how stupid Kangxi was, he understood that the imperial doctors were almost helpless against children with high fevers.

However, this time, no matter how hard Yinyu tried to cool down the Nineteenth Prince, it was of no avail.

Old Nineteen died before dawn!
Kangxi, an old man, was overwhelmed with grief as he saw his son die young. He could not help crying over the corpse.

Yinyou really couldn't cry, but he rubbed the handkerchief inside his sleeve with his saliva, then covered his face and cried uncontrollably.

Kangxi, who was crying with a big painted face, accidentally saw that the prince was standing there stupidly. Not only was he not crying, but his face looked very calm.

Crack, the thunder in the sky ignited the fire in the earth, and Kangxi could no longer hold back and cursed at the prince.

"There is no brotherhood!"

"Your own brother is gone, and you don't even look sad?"

"Have you read all your books into a dog's stomach?"

Alas, Kangxi used his poisonous tongue to vent venom crazily at the prince.

The eldest brother, who had been howling without tears, thought that the time had come to fight back against the prince, so he suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative to expose the prince's improper behavior.

"Khan Father, when I was patrolling the imperial tent at night, I found the second prince hiding outside and peeping several times..." The eldest brother got hot-headed and didn't care whether there were loopholes in his words, and he just put the blame on the prince.

Yinyou quickly lowered his head. The boss was such a fool that he wouldn’t even report anything!

With this strike from the boss, all the people on the boat were completely overturned, and all the guards and imperial guards around the imperial tent were swept into the ranks of criminals!
"Fourth Prince, you and the eldest prince, take the second prince into custody!" Kangxi, who was already furious, ordered the arrest of the crown prince on the spot.

If the prince had decisively knelt down at this time, hugged Kangxi's thigh, and begged for mercy, there would still be room for easing the situation.

Unfortunately, the prince has been spoiled for more than thirty years, and has always been able to beat anyone he wanted. He has never known what it feels like to bow his head and submit.

"I have long wanted to stop being the crown prince!" After Yinreng uttered these harsh words, he ignored Kangxi and strode out of the imperial tent with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

Yinyou knew clearly in his heart that the prince, who had been arrogant for decades, actually gave up his last chance to explain himself.

Kangxi was so angry that his face turned blue. In front of all the princes, he shouted hysterically: "Then I will depose you!"

The prince, who had already walked to the door of the imperial tent, stopped for some unknown reason and retorted wildly, "I don't care!"

Yinyou quickly lowered his head. Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
Kangxi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the prince but was unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, the eldest brother wanted to add insult to injury, so he deliberately pushed the prince hard and shouted, "Go away! Do you really want to piss off my father-in-law to death?"

"Hmph, who do you think you are? How dare you touch me?" The prince cursed the eldest brother angrily, turned around and left the imperial tent in a huff.

Yinyou sighed secretly in his heart. With the prince's departure, all the years of father-son affection were completely forgotten!

"Get out, get out!" Kangxi finally exploded and drove everyone out of the imperial tent.

Having said that, Yinyou and his companions really didn't have the courage to go far.

After all, his younger brother had just died and he was really far away. If Kangxi went crazy, who knew what kind of disaster would be caused?
Yinyou held Lao Shiba's hand tightly, muttering silently in his heart, God bless my brother, he finally escaped death!
It was unknown how long it had been before Liang Jiugong suddenly came out. He walked quickly to Yinyu's side and whispered, "Fifteenth Master, His Majesty misses Eighteenth Master. What do you think?"

Yinyou knew that Kangxi wanted to find spiritual comfort from the Eighteenth Prince.

Not long after Liang Jiugong led Old Eighteen into the tent, the mixed cries of Kangxi and Old Eighteen were heard from inside.

Yinyu could fully imagine that Kangxi must have been holding the eight-year-old boy, and felt terrified!
If the Eighteenth Prince had not disobeyed his emperor and father and had not been kept by Kangxi, it is very likely that he would have been the one in trouble instead of the Nineteenth Prince.

Night fell again, and Yinyou was feeling listless when he suddenly saw the eldest brother, led by Wei Zhu, sneaking into the imperial tent.

Yinyou couldn't help but feel excited. Could it be that the famous scene of killing his brother for his father was about to happen?
