Chapter 191 Look up if you don't believe it, who can escape the wrath of Heaven?
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhi and Yin Zuo exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. Seriously, Father, what kind of child are you trying to send away? You two go play somewhere else... Alright, we'll be going now.
After all that commotion, neither Yinzhi nor Yinzuo really came out on top. So, the two brothers returned to their original seats looking rather dejected. Yinzuo, who hadn't been feeling well lately due to seasickness, found the banquet so boring it was almost hypnotic. After sitting there for a while, he started to feel sleepy. He glanced around and realized that there seemed to be nowhere to hide except for his third brother, so he immediately and without hesitation moved closer to Yinzhi.
"Third brother, I'm so sleepy, and there's nowhere to hide from you. Could you please provide some cover so I can lean against you and take a nap?"
Although Yinzhu asked the question politely, his actions were anything but refined. After smelling it, Yinzhu didn't care whether Yinzhi agreed or not, and pulled Yinzhi in front of him to shield him, then closed his eyes and began to rest.
At this moment, only one sentence kept repeating in Yin Zhi's mind: "I raise my head and ask the heavens with a smile, but the heavens remain silent." Yin Zhi was quite speechless at this moment, but everyone was asleep, so what could he do? The only thing he could do now was to dutifully cover for Yin Zuo until the banquet ended, at which point he finally woke Yin Zuo up.
"Little Six, wake up. The banquet is over. If you're sleepy, let's go back to sleep."
Yinzhu opened his eyes groggily and looked around. Sure enough, everyone in the banquet hall had already left in twos and threes. He glanced at Kangxi and saw that his father was nowhere to be seen in the main seat. Looking around, he saw that Yinti, Yinzhi, Yintang, and Yinxi were all still there.
"Father is so unfair! He left without even telling us to come with him. Big brother, third brother, can one of you give me a hand? My legs are numb from sitting."
Upon hearing Yinzhi's words, Yinzhi snorted, rubbed his shoulder, and turned away, ignoring him. Yinzhi sighed helplessly and could only help Yinzhi carefully stand up. Yinzhi's legs were truly numb, and now, as soon as he touched the ground, it felt like a million ants were gnawing at him. His grimacing expression was quite amusing. Yinzhi watched the spectacle with a wide grin. Seeing this, Yinzhi secretly tugged at his ninth brother's sleeve, signaling him to know when to stop. He absolutely mustn't provoke his sixth brother at this time, or he would be the one to get punished.
You have to admit that the tenth brother has a good eye. The ninth brother is the type who keeps making the same mistakes, and the consequences of not knowing how to restrain himself are obvious. That's why he was spotted by his sixth brother's radar-like gaze.
"Ninth Brother, what are you secretly laughing about? Can't you see your Sixth Brother is feeling unwell right now? Hurry up and come help your eldest brother. Laughing makes your teeth look whiter, doesn't it..."
Yinzhen was grinning and watching the commotion when he heard his sixth brother's words. His smile vanished instantly, he touched his nose, gave an embarrassed laugh, and ran towards Yinzuo.
"Here it comes, here it comes! Sixth Brother, what's wrong? Are your legs numb? Come on, let your little brother carry you back."
Yinzhuo readily accepted Yintang's attentiveness, nodded and told him to squat down in front of him, then climbed onto Yintang's back without hesitation.
"Little Jiu, get up and carry me back to my room."
If it weren't for the fact that everything in this world has its counter, the historically infamous Poisonous Snake Nine would instantly become a domesticated pet in front of his Sixth Brother, obediently serving as his mount and even cooperating with his antics.
"Alright, you can lie down now. This servant will carry you back to your room to rest, Your Highness."
Although Yinzhuo was a few years older than Yintang, he was not as robust as Yintang. He had also lost a lot of weight due to seasickness these days, so Yintang did not feel any effort at all when carrying him on his back. It's true what they say, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." In such a short time, he had obviously forgotten why his sixth brother was lying on his back.
"Sixth Brother, you usually seem to have a good appetite, but how come you're lighter than a young lady when you carry me? I'm not trying to be mean, but how can you eat like this and not gain weight? Do you think you're doing right by all those chickens, ducks, and fish that died for you? Sixth Brother... Ouch, Sixth Brother, why did you hit me?"
Why would I hit you again? Of course, it's because he's happy. Yinzhen is speechless now. His earlier signal was a waste of breath. His Ninth Brother really knows how to court death. Every beating he gets is earned through his own strength.
"Why would I hit you again? I'm hitting you because you're the one I'm hitting. I'm just wondering, Ninth Brother, are you a fish? Does your memory only last seven seconds? I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened earlier. How did you manage to muster up the courage to court death again?"
At this moment, Yin Tang perfectly embodied the phrase "reaping what he sowed." This time, not only the Tenth Prince, but even Yin Ti and Yin Zhi, who were standing nearby, didn't plead for him. The journey back to Yin Zuo's room was quite a spectacle. Yin Zuo grabbed Yin Tang's ear and scolded him, while Yin Ti and Yin Zhi openly watched the two of them laughing and joking. Yin Yi, fearing that his Ninth Brother would get angry in embarrassment, secretly pinched his thigh behind his back. The farce only stopped when they reached the door of Yin Zuo's room.
"Sixth Brother, look how late it is. Weren't you so sleepy just now? You should go back to your room and rest. Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Sixth Brother, your younger brother and Tenth Brother will head back now..."
As soon as Yinzuo landed steadily, Yintang didn't want to stay there for even a minute longer. He raised his hand to rub his ear, which had been pinched and was burning hot by Yinzuo, exchanged a few pleasantries with Yinzuo and the others, and then pulled the tenth prince and turned to run away. Yinzuo glanced at Yintang, who was almost fleeing in panic, and then turned to look at Yinti beside him. Yinzhi asked.
"Big brother, third brother, why are they running so fast? Am I some kind of monster?"
Upon hearing this, Yinti looked up at the sky, while Yinzhi looked down at the ground. It really was true what they said: "Look up and see, no one escapes the wrath of Heaven." They had been enjoying watching the spectacle, and now they were getting their just desserts.
"Well... maybe they're just tired? They want to go back and rest early. Yes, they're tired. Big brother, are you tired too? Why don't we go back and rest early too? Sixth brother, don't bother seeing them off. Big brother and I know the way..."
Heh, what a perfunctory gesture. Since everyone had left, Yinzhuo naturally wouldn't stand foolishly at the door in the wind. He beckoned Dexi, who was standing nearby, to prepare his toiletries, and then turned and went back to his room.
For the next two days, Yinzhu did not go anywhere. It was not that he did not want to go out for a stroll, but rather that his arrival in Suzhou was too spectacular and flamboyant, which led to everyone being overly enthusiastic towards him. Yinzhu was most impatient with dealing with such things, so he simply closed himself off and pretended to be sick.
