Chapter 128 Eldest Brother, Third Brother, I Swear to Share Both Hardship and Joy with You
"Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, didn't I tell you two to keep an eye on him? How come he's still drinking like this?"
Yinzhi, who was being questioned, also felt wronged. They wanted to stop him, but could they? Given his sixth brother's indiscriminate attitude just now, if they had gone over, they would probably be lying on the table like him right now.
The man was already drunk, so it was too late to say anything now. Seeing Yinzhuo lying on the table, still clutching the wine pot, Yinzhen could only call Su Peisheng over and ask him to take some men to escort Yinzhuo back to his residence in the front courtyard to rest.
“Su Peisheng, don’t come back to the front. Stay in the front yard and keep an eye on him. This kid is drunk and unruly. As long as he doesn’t cause too much trouble, just let him be. If he gets too out of control, send someone to the front to call me. Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother, you two go back with your Sixth Brother. I’m afraid Su Peisheng won’t be able to keep an eye on him.”
Yinzhi and Yinzhi didn't want to stay there and be forced to drink more, so they were happy to find a place to hide and relax. Without waiting for the people Su Peisheng called over, the two of them walked to Yinzhi's side and lifted him up from the left and right.
"Fourth Brother, we'll take Sixth Brother to the front yard to rest first. You can have someone keep an eye on Thirteen and Fourteen later. I just saw those two trying to sneak a drink."
Although Yinzhuo was drunk, he was still somewhat conscious, only his physical behavior was somewhat out of his control. At this moment, he was being supported by Yintang and Yinzhen, but he did not struggle. Before leaving, he even cupped his hands in the direction of Yinreng and Yinzhen.
"Eldest brother, third brother, I swear to share joys and sorrows with you, to stay by your side for life, and to follow you through life and death..."
Yinreng and Yinzhen were taken aback upon hearing this. They exchanged a glance, then suppressed a laugh as they looked at Yinzuo, who was still playing three roles by himself.
"Oh, he's acting again, the Oath of the Peach Garden? Eldest brother, third brother, then he's playing Guan Yu this time. Fourth brother, look, even though he's drunk, his mind is still quite clear. He recited the lines perfectly. Ninth brother, tenth brother, don't just stand here, quickly take our Lord Guan back to rest."
On the way back to the front courtyard, Yinzhuo's desire to perform was off the charts. He performed the Oath of the Peach Garden to the fullest. Yintang and Yinyi not only had to carry him, but also had to keep up with his performance. By the time they finally managed to carry him back to the front courtyard and put him on the bed, Yintang and Yinyi's clothes were completely soaked.
"Ninth Master, Tenth Master, your servant has prepared water for you two in the outer room. Your servant and Dexi are watching over Sixth Master's side. Please go and wash your faces and tidy up."
Yin Tang and Yin Yi were born into noble families and were always surrounded by servants wherever they went. They had never been as disheveled as they were today, but they were powerless against the culprit who caused all this. In the end, they could only sigh helplessly and follow Su Peisheng to clean up their mess.
Yinzhuo had exhausted himself performing the Oath of the Peach Garden, so he lay quietly in bed. He slept soundly until the banquet ended and Yinreng and Yinzhen returned. Everyone was sleeping peacefully. With the palace gates about to be locked, Yinreng naturally didn't want to delay any longer. He got up and went to the bedside to wake Yinzhuo. Yintang and Yin'er, who had just suffered greatly at Yinzhuo's hands, rushed forward to stop him without thinking.
"Second Brother, I advise you not to wake Sixth Brother. You have no idea what kind of suffering we went through on our way back to the front yard. Just now it was like the Oath of the Peach Garden. If you wake him up now, it might be like the story of 'Slaying Hua Xiong while the wine is still warm.' Why don't we just find a few people to carry Sixth Brother to the carriage? It'll save everyone trouble!"
Although Yinreng did not know what Yintang and Yinzhen had gone through on their way back to the front courtyard, seeing that they were still shaken, he decided to follow their advice. He turned around and called the guards outside the door to come in, intending to carry Yinzhuo out along with his remaining bed.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but just as we were about to leave, someone accidentally knocked over a chair, and that ruined everything.
"What are you doing? Where do you intend to take Guan?"
"Alright, it seems you haven't quite gotten over the pre-sleep oath of brotherhood in the Peach Garden yet?" Seeing this, Yinreng had the bed that was being carried down, and, suppressing a laugh, walked over and tapped Yinzuo's forehead.
"You're getting addicted to acting, aren't you? Can you still walk? If you can, get up and come with us. If you can't, lie down and your second brother will have someone carry you."
Yinzuo, rubbing his forehead and staring blankly at Yinreng for a while, finally recognized him. When Yinreng asked if he could still walk, Yinzuo shook his head vigorously, trying to stay awake. However, this trick obviously failed. Not only did it not wake him up, it made his already fuzzy head even more dizzy. Since that was the case, Yinreng stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and lay back down.
"Forget it, forget it, Second Brother, you should just find someone to take me out."
Seeing this, Yinreng shook his head helplessly, raised his hand to summon the guards, and signaled them to lift the bed again. This time, although they got out of the room smoothly, everyone was still very careful in their movements, afraid that someone would make a noise and cause Yinreng to "act up" again.
After being helped into the carriage, Yinzhuo was very well-behaved. As soon as he got in the carriage, he leaned against Yintang and closed his eyes to rest until the carriage stopped at the palace gate.
"Sixth Brother, can you walk? If not, I'll have them bring a palanquin over right now."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhu waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, and beckoned Yinzhen to come over and help him up with Yintang. He then raised his hand to say goodbye to Yinreng, who was standing to the side.
"Second brother, you've had quite a bit to drink today. You should go back to the palace to rest early. I have Ninth and Tenth Princes here; they can help me back."
Indeed, as Yinzuo said, Yinreng had also drunk quite a bit of wine today. Although he wasn't drunk, he was certainly not feeling well. When Yinzuo said he didn't need to see him off, he nodded, turned around, and called over two guards to instruct them to escort Yinzuo and the others back. He then led his men toward Yuqing Palace.
"Let's go, let's go back quickly. I'm really dizzy right now. From now on, no one can make me drink. If anyone makes me drink again, I'll definitely fight them."
To be fair, Yinzhuo was quite responsible as an elder brother. Even though he was drunk, he insisted on taking his younger brothers back to their courtyards one by one before returning to his own courtyard with Dexi's help. Yinreng had sent someone to deliver a message before they returned to the palace, so as soon as Yinzhuo and Dexi entered, they were greeted by a bowl of hangover soup brought to them by Xiahe.
"My lord, the water has been prepared for you. After you drink this hangover soup, Dexi can help you wash up."
