Chapter 344 Transmigration God, You're Too Unreliable!
As the saying goes, spring days are long and spring scenery is lush and vibrant. People gradually go on outings, and the grass is lush and green. As the weather slowly warms up, Changchun Garden is no longer a scene of desolation. According to Yinzhuo's usual temperament, now that the flowers are in full bloom everywhere, it would be the time for him to invite his friends and relatives. But this year, the flowers that Yinti and his friends have been waiting for are almost withered, and they have not received an invitation from Yinzhuo to enjoy the flowers and go on a spring outing.
"Xiao Jiu, you work at the Ministry of Works and have the most contact with your sixth brother. Do you know what he's been busy with lately? In previous years, invitations would have been sent to the mansion by now. What's his plan this year?"
No, if you're all so curious, why don't you go ask my sixth brother? Why are you all making things difficult for me? Besides, I'm not a mind reader; how could I possibly know what's on his mind...?
Even if Yinzhen truly knew nothing, would he dare not answer his elder brother's questions? Needless to say, even if you gave him two more lives, he wouldn't dare.
“As you know, eldest brother, although sixth brother is nominally in charge of the Ministry of Works, he only holds the title. He only shows up when he remembers, and when he doesn't remember, it's common for him to not go for ten days, half a month, or even several months. It's been half a month since April started, right? I haven't seen him at the Ministry of Works even once. Last time I went to Shufeng Pavilion, he even kicked me out…”
So, what is Yinzhuo, whom his brothers miss, doing now? Come on, look over here, see? He's cosplaying a donkey pulling a millstone.
"My lord, the weather outside looks nice today. How about I accompany you for a stroll?"
Dexi is really worried to death about his master. Ever since April, his master has been acting strangely. Before, he was often depressed, but recently he has been in a state of extreme anxiety. See that shiny circle on the ground in the garden? That wasn't there before. See that circle under his master's eyes? That wasn't there before either.
Why was Yinzhuo so anxious? The answer is actually quite simple: May of the 47th year of Kangxi's reign was approaching. Yinzhuo didn't know what happened in May of the 47th year of Kangxi's reign in history, but at the beginning of this month, he received an imperial decree to accompany the emperor on an inspection tour beyond the Great Wall.
Normally, accompanying the emperor on his inspection tours would be a routine matter for Yinzhi and wouldn't be something he would take so seriously. But the problem is that this year is the 47th year of Kangxi's reign. You should know that in history, Yinreng was deposed during this very inspection tour of the border regions.
"Sigh, everyone else who transmigrates comes with a spatial dimension or a system, but I just opened my eyes and was here. I mean, transmigration master, you're so unreliable! Couldn't you have given me some hints before I transmigrated? At least I would have bought a history book on the Qing Dynasty. Now, I only know the facts, not the reasons. Even if I wanted to avoid it, I have absolutely no idea how..."
Dexi was standing a few steps away from Yinzuo, so although he heard Yinzuo talking to himself, he couldn't make out what he was saying. But this only made him more worried. Look, his master's problem seems to have gotten worse. Before, he was just spinning around, but now he's completely out of it.
"My lord, is there anything wrong with you? Should I go and fetch Physician Wang so he can take a look at you? If you have any grievances, why don't we go and talk to His Majesty? He loves you so much, he will surely uphold justice for you."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhuo finally stopped pacing around. He pointed to the teapot on the table, and Dexi immediately stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea and bring it over. Yinzhuo was tired from walking for so long, so he took the cup, drank some tea, and sat down at the stone table in the garden.
"There's no need to invite Physician Wang. After all, even if he came, he couldn't cure my ailment. However, we can go to Qingxi Study. Dexi, I heard that the Eighteenth Brother is on the list of those accompanying the Emperor this time, right? What do you think would happen if I went to Father and told him not to go?"
After worrying for so many days, Yinzhuo suddenly understood. As the saying goes, what is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be. Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well take the initiative. Although Yinzhuo wasn't quite clear on the specific reasons that led Kangxi to decide to depose Yinreng, he remembered that the trigger for Yinreng's deposition seemed to be the death of the eighteenth prince, Yinxi. After deposing the crown prince, Kangxi reprimanded Yinreng for showing no grief after his younger brother's death...
Having decided to go see Kangxi, Yinzhuo didn't hesitate much. He asked Dexi to help him change his clothes, and then led him to Qingxi Study. When he arrived, Kangxi had just finished his official duties and was stretching in the garden with Liang Jiugong. When he saw Yinzhuo, he stopped and beckoned him over.
"I heard you've been in a bad mood lately, holed up in Shufeng Pavilion, not going anywhere or seeing anyone. What brings you to my door today? You know, what can't you tell anyone but your father? But who has wronged you? Look at you, it's only been half a month, and you've lost so much weight..."
When Kangxi said that Yinzhuo had lost weight, it wasn't just his overprotective fatherly affection acting up. After all, Yinzhuo had been spending an hour or two every day for the past two weeks going around that exercise area. Plus, he was worried and eating less, so it would be strange if he didn't lose weight.
Having decided to take the initiative, Yinzhuo didn't intend to beat around the bush with his father. He pulled Kangxi to sit down in the pavilion in the garden and got straight to the point.
"Father, if your son said that he didn't want you to take your eighteenth brother with you on this inspection tour beyond the Great Wall, would you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Yinzhuo. The meaning was clear: regardless of whether he agreed or not, you must first give me a reason why you are doing this.
Kangxi naturally understood what he wanted to express. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally decided to use the tropes commonly found in time-travel novels.
“Father, the reason I asked this is because at the beginning of this month I had the same dream for several days in a row. In the dream, my eighteenth brother died during this inspection tour. At first, I took the dream seriously, but after having the same dream for several days in a row, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that you would worry. With the inspection tour approaching, I decided to come and talk to you. After all, you can’t be too afraid of the worst. Although I didn’t have much contact with my eighteenth brother, he is still my brother. If this dream is really a warning, then I don’t want him to go on this dangerous journey.”
Upon hearing Yinzhuo's words, Kangxi frowned. To be honest, he didn't really believe in such unfounded things, but as Yinzhuo said, one should always be prepared for the unexpected... Well, to put the boy's mind at ease, he decided not to bring him.
