Chapter 40 Avoid alcohol, meat and sweets
Prince Yu really wanted to say that Yinsi should be deposed directly. There is no way Yinsi could possibly have the chance to seize the throne. If he succeeded, the other princes would have no chance of survival!
But Yinsi was Kangxi's son after all. No matter how bad he was, a father would not want to hear others belittle his son. Prince Yu was also an old man, so he spoke very measuredly. He seemed to be taking advantage of the situation as if he and Kangxi were just ordinary brothers, but everything was within a reasonable range. He would never mention nonsense.
"I really don't know about this, second brother. I don't have people everywhere to report to me anytime and anywhere," Kangxi sighed, "If it weren't for the Eighth Lady bullying the Ninth Lady, I wouldn't know about this."
Prince Yu smiled, looking helpless. He only believed half of what was said, and would not really take it seriously and let his guard down. He knew what to say at what time, and he could not talk nonsense even in his sleep. "It is also difficult for Your Majesty. You have to be careful. In fact, the Eighth Prince also longs for Your Majesty's approval, but it's a pity that he never thought about what the Ninth Prince would do. Your Majesty, please give him some guidance. There is no overnight hatred between brothers."
"Do you think they will be like us brothers?" Kangxi shook his head, but did not continue. Kangxi knew what was going on and would not really tell Prince Yu anything. He just smiled and changed the subject. "Let's not talk about this. What do you think of my selling the imperial gift this time?"
"Deal with them as they should, no leniency, only severe punishment," Prince Yu said with a serious face and murderous look in his eyes, the look of a man who has experienced the battlefield and walked through countless life and death situations. "Even Soetu would be angry about the things found out by the Lingpu family. Those things added together are almost as much as the prince's private vault now. It's only been a short time, and even this is only secondary. The Lingpu family is using the prince's name to bully men and women and exploit the common people. I'm afraid that the prince's reputation among the people..." Prince Yu's voice gradually became lower, and he was afraid that it was not very good.
"Second brother, you should thoroughly investigate the Baoyi families, especially those working in the Imperial Household Department. Look into this matter in secret. You know I know about it," Kangxi looked at Prince Yu and suddenly shifted the focus to the Baoyi. Although Prince Yu was a little confused, he quickly reacted and took it over immediately.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Sun is waiting outside," Wei Zhu walked in and asked.
"Let him in." Kangxi and Prince Yu looked at each other and did not continue speaking. After Doctor Sun came in, "Doctor Sun, take a look at Prince Yu."
Doctor Sun walked over, knelt down, and after he felt Prince Yu's pulse, he gradually frowned. Kangxi also watched nervously. Prince Yu, as the protagonist, smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you, the imperial physician, will look bad. It's not without reason that everyone is afraid to see a doctor!"
"Prince Yu, please be quiet!" Doctor Sun withdrew his hand, "Prince Yu, please change your hand," and continued to take the pulse.
Prince Yu was a little restless. He was fearless and especially not the Emperor's anger, but he was afraid of doctors, especially the imperial physicians. Doctors outside the palace could know what he didn't want to hear and there were some things he wouldn't say, but these imperial physicians would say anything that hurt his heart!
Except for those who have no ability, those who have ability all have some temper, and they are devoted to studying medicine and know little about the ways of the world!
Although it is possible to be bribed, most of them will not do so. Some have been studying medicine and would rather die than surrender.
For example, the Imperial Doctor Sun in front of him is so honest that it is outrageous, but he is still liked by the emperor.
For example, now, Prince Yu knows that what Doctor Sun is going to say next will not be good!
"Your Majesty, if Prince Yu continues like this, please tell the Ministry of Rites to make preparations," Doctor Sun glanced at Prince Yu. Doctor Sun and Prince Yu have been friends for many years, and his face was not very good at the moment. "Prince Yu has never listened to me. Your Majesty, I can't do anything."
Kangxi frowned and looked at the expression of Doctor Sun. He knew that Doctor Sun could still save Prince Yu. He was just too angry. Doctor Sun often complained about his second brother to him before. Kangxi pointed at Prince Yu and said, "Second brother, if you offend the doctor again, no one will save you. Think about your sons after you leave. Can they bear the wrath of Prince Yu's mansion?"
Kangxi decisively said, "If you don't want to take care of yourself, then leave it alone. I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare in advance."
"Don't! Your Majesty, I will just listen to you. These words are too harsh. Who wants to die when they can live?" Prince Yu sighed. The most feared thing when getting old is death, and he is no exception. He just doesn't want to take medicine.
Prince Yu looked at Doctor Sun who was looking at him coldly, "Your temper is getting worse and worse, and you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dared to curse me? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
"You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something. Prince Yu, don't you feel unwell recently? Are you out of breath after walking a few steps? Not only that, but you feel dizzy every day?" Imperial Doctor Sun looked at Prince Yu, "Prince Yu, if you continue like this, I can't do anything."
"Yes, that's true. I thought he didn't sleep well, isn't it? Could he have some terminal illness?" Prince Yu felt a little weak. What the doctor said was right. This was the bad thing every time he saw the imperial physician. After taking his pulse, the physician could see through him and even know about his sexual intercourse. Isn't that scary?
"Don't worry, Prince Yu. It's not a terminal illness. You just need to stay away from alcohol and avoid meat, sweets and snacks. Don't worry, Prince Yu, you won't have to take medicine every day," Doctor Sun added quickly as he looked at Prince Yu's wide-eyed look of surprise.
"Wait! Can I feel at ease without taking medicine? No, I can't feel at ease. I can't drink alcohol, eat meat, or eat snacks. Do I have to eat grass every day?" Prince Yu was angry. This was worse than taking medicine every day!
Kangxi glanced at the angry Prince Yu, then looked up at Imperial Physician Sun, "Imperial Physician Sun, as long as this is done, will Prince Yu be healthy? How long will it last?"
"In reply to the emperor, as far as I know, this is the only way. However, we will have to wait until I feel the pulse to know how long it will last," Imperial Doctor Sun lowered his eyes. That means it will have to be like this until death, and he would never say that!
Kangxi looked at the action of Doctor Sun lowering his head, and he knew very well that it would probably take a long time, or even... it would always be like this. Kangxi felt a little sympathetic to Prince Yu, but he had to admit that he was a little gloating, "Don't be angry, second brother, Doctor Sun is doing this for your own good."
"Your Majesty, you can stop raising your lips. This is still believable," Prince Yu looked frustrated. Suddenly, he looked at Doctor Sun, still unwilling to give up. "Doctor Sun, we have been friends for many years. Is there any other solution? You also know that I like to eat meat and drink wine. I can give up snacks, but how can I give up these two things forever?"
