Chapter 231 I dare not open my eyes, hoping it's just my imagination.
Physician Wang was right. Honghui and Hongqing did indeed wake up very quickly. How quickly? Well, let's put it this way: before the wound on Fourteenth Prince's back had even been treated, the two of them woke up. With Honghui and Hongqing awake, Yinzhuo was finally able to relax completely. At this moment, he ignored Fourteenth Prince, who was lying on the bed sweating profusely from the pain, and turned to walk towards the bed where the two little ones were lying.
"Hamafa?"
Honghui and Hongqing's memories were still stuck at the moment they fell into the water. The immense fear caused the two little ones to cry as soon as they opened their eyes. But it must be said that Emperor Kangxi was truly amazing. Even though the two little ones were so scared at that moment, they were frightened back down when they saw their Emperor Kangxi.
Despite his fierce expression when facing the Fourteenth Prince, Kangxi was much more amiable now when facing his grandsons who had survived the ordeal. Seeing the two little ones calling for him with tears in their eyes, he reached out and patted their heads, asking them gently.
“Hongqing, Honghui, do you two feel uncomfortable anywhere right now? If so, you can tell Hanmafa.”
When asked by Kangxi, the two little ones shook their heads in unison. Seeing this, Yinzhuo couldn't help but sigh, raised his hand and placed it on his father's shoulder, patting it gently.
"Father, they're usually afraid of you, and now they're even more frightened. Plus, they're nervous around you. It would be a miracle if you could get anything out of them like this. Why don't you move over and let your son ask them?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi glanced at Honghui and Hongqing, who were sitting upright on the bed, cautiously looking at him. He shook his head helplessly, got up, and made room for Yinzhuo. He wanted to see what kind of questions Yinzhuo would ask.
As the saying goes, "Comparison is the thief of joy." The two little ones, who had been pretending to be strong and holding back their tears when facing their grandfather, immediately broke down when they saw their sixth uncle. As soon as they saw Yinzhuo sitting down by the bed, they struggled to get up and rushed towards him. Yinzhuo hugged the two little ones on either side, watching them cry uncontrollably in his arms without saying a word to stop them. He simply patted them gently to calm them down until they were tired of crying and their voices gradually subsided before taking out a handkerchief to wipe their faces.
"Alright, if you've cried enough, can you tell Uncle Liu where you feel uncomfortable now?"
The two little ones snuggled in Yinzhuo's arms and sobbed for a while before finally calming down. After sensing the situation for a moment, they began to tell Yinzhuo how they felt.
"Sixth Uncle, my chest feels a little sore, my throat is also a bit uncomfortable, and my calf feels a bit sore, like I bumped it..."
"Sixth Uncle, I also have some discomfort in my chest and a sore throat, but I feel fine elsewhere..."
After asking the two children more questions, Yinzhuo learned that the pain in their chests was not from the inside of their chests, so he let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand to pat their heads, and said to them.
"It's alright. It's probably from when the guards were performing CPR on you. If it hurts a lot, I'll find some medicine to apply. But it's not a big deal if you don't apply it. You'll feel better in a few days. Now that you're awake, you can't stay smelly like this forever. I'll have Dexi prepare some water and take you for a bath."
Hongxi, Hongyu, and the others were now terrified at the mere mention of water, but they were used to being clean and couldn't stand being wet and smelly like that. So, even though they were scared, they could only muster their courage and go with Dexi to the back to bathe and change.
That concludes today's events. The next step is for everyone to go home and find their own mothers. Of course, this conclusion applies to Hongxi, Hongyu, and the other kids. As for Fourteen, the culprit, well, sorry, his ordeal is far from over.
"Fourteen, you brat! You're always causing trouble for me, and now you've even dared to mess with my little nephew! It's only thanks to Hongxi and Honghui that you're alright today, or I would have skinned you alive! What are you still lying here for? Get up and come with me. When we get back to Chunfeng Hall, I'll show you what I'm made of."
If one word could describe Fourteen's feelings at this moment, it would be despair. If one sentence could describe what Fourteen was thinking at this moment, it would be: I dare not open my eyes; I hope it's just my illusion...
幻觉当然不可能是幻觉，毕竟德妃的母爱此时是那么的真实具象，十四这遍体鳞伤包的粽子一样的后背那是一点也没有唤起他亲爱的额娘对他的怜惜，他伟大的母亲对他最后的温柔，那就是打起来的时候尽量避开他那皮开肉绽的后背，至于你说为什么是尽量，看这话问的，十四这也不是死的，他又不可能像康熙揍他时候那样一动不动跪在那老实挨揍，他一躲避这可不就得尽量了吗？避不开就避不开吧，看他这皮糙肉厚的样，想来打几下出气应该也没啥。
No wonder Consort De was so angry. You see, when Consort De learned that the Fourteenth Prince had taken four young grandsons to the lake... oh no, it should be that they fell into the water, her hair stood on end in fright. Good heavens, her son has really grown up now. He doesn't care about his usual petty antics anymore, but he actually wants to pull off something big right away. What, are his four elder brothers playing a game of cat and mouse? She would be doing this kid a disservice if she didn't give him a good beating today, since he gave her such a big fright.
Given Consort De's aggressive approach from the start, would Fourteenth Prince dare to leave with her? Let alone leave, he wished he could weld himself to this bed in Shufeng Pavilion. At least his Sixth Brother was here. If his mother beat him too badly, his Sixth Brother could help stop her. If he went back to Chunfeng Hall, good heavens, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, a wolf's lair. Even if he screamed until his voice was hoarse, probably no one would come to save him.
“Mother, please listen to me. Your son really knows he was wrong. Please hit me a few times to calm down. My back is still injured. Please forgive your son first, and you can hit me after my wound heals... Sixth Brother, don't just stand there. Help me stop Mother, or you will lose your brother today.”
Yinzhuo stood there smiling as he watched the Fourteenth Prince, despite his physical disability, stubbornly dodge Consort De's beatings. He had no intention of helping him at all. He was joking; just by looking at the Fourteenth Prince, he knew he was far from losing his younger brother. Besides, this was his own mother; she wouldn't really beat him to death.
"Fourteen, Sixth Brother believes in your tenacious will to live. It's alright, just hang in there a little longer and it will pass..."
