Chapter 685 A Step-by-Step Thrill 57
Speaking of this matter, Yinzhen was utterly speechless!
He lay sprawled on the bed, muttering complaints: "Sigh...ever since that prince was reinstated, everyone knows perfectly well that this ship is already a wreck! Who knows when it will break down again? So, all my brothers who have any ambition are starting to get restless and eager to try their luck!"
After a pause, he continued, "But the old man, for some reason, just stood by and watched as this group of people made a scene that grew increasingly chaotic. Hmph, if you ask me, he's clearly deliberately raising poisonous insects! Luckily, I'm smart. Seeing this, I immediately asked my father for leave! After all, I didn't want to get dragged into this conflict and become some unlucky guy!"
Anyway, he had absolutely no interest in those messy things. As the saying goes, if a cow doesn't want to drink water, can you force it to put its head down?
Emperor Kangxi probably thought that Yinzhen was a fairly well-behaved person who usually just focused on working hard and making money and had never caused him much trouble, so he readily agreed.
Recalling this incident, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel secretly delighted and gently kissed Lin Jiu beside him.
He first pecked at her fair and delicate cheeks, and then kissed her several more times before he stopped.
As a result, Lin Jiu finally lost her temper and pushed him away forcefully.
Even so, Yinzhen remained unperturbed, instead saying with a grin, "Haha, thank goodness for the prescriptions you provided, Ajiu! Otherwise, it would have been incredibly difficult for me to even ask for leave this time! Look at the Tenth Prince, watching helplessly as I slipped away, while he had no choice but to continue toiling away in court!"
As Lin Jiu wiped the drool from her cheek, she thought to herself, "Kangxi's actions are probably inappropriate! In her opinion, this guy should just stay obediently in the palace! Otherwise, all he does is bully her all day long!"
Then, upon hearing what Yinzhen said and recalling the constant stream of people visiting the mansion recently, he couldn't help but sigh that their mansion was now bustling with activity. This showed just how intense this thrilling struggle for the throne among the nine princes had become!
Fortunately, Yinzhen stood firm and ordered the gates to be closed without hesitation, refusing all visitors entry.
In this way, they can be as carefree and unrestrained as they are now.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the fifty-first year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
In that same year, the situation changed dramatically—the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was framed, while the Thirteenth Prince was imprisoned in the Bee-Raising Alley; at the same time, the Crown Prince, Yinreng, also suffered misfortune once again and was deposed for the second time.
After the Thirteenth Prince was imprisoned, Yinzhen became increasingly humble and reserved, as if he had completely faded out of the court.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the leisurely and tranquil rural life, even personally participating in agricultural work.
Lin Jiu exclaimed in admiration, "Truly, the one who laughs last laughs best! Just considering his extraordinary character, his ability to endure suffering that others cannot bear is truly remarkable and invaluable!"
Anyway, if Lin Jiu were to suppress her feelings like Yinzhen, she would definitely develop breast hyperplasia.
However, ever since Yinzhen devoted himself to rural life, their household has never lacked fresh fruits and vegetables.
