Rebirth: I'm a Daddy's Darling in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 229 Despite all precautions, we still couldn't stop that troublemaker, number 4.

Actually, the reason why Yinzhu punished Honghui by making him copy scriptures was not because the little guy was disobedient, nor because his authority as an uncle was challenged. The main reason was that he wanted to make the little guy stay in one place as much as possible and reduce the frequency of his going out by punishing him by copying the Diamond Sutra one hundred and twenty times.

It's already April, and there are less than two months left until Honghui's accident in June. Yinzhuo is thinking of keeping the little guy away from home to at least reduce the chances of accidents. Now that they're all living in Changchun Garden, Imperial Physician Wang is always at their beck and call. That old man is quite skilled; he should be able to handle most illnesses...

To be fair, Yinzhuo's method was quite effective. With the thirteenth and fourteenth princes keeping an eye on things, and Hongxi, Hongyu, and Hongqing accompanying him, and Yinzhuo overseeing things, Honghui remained healthy and safe until early June when the weather got warmer. Even so, Yinzhuo dared not slack off in the slightest. After all, if he were to make a mistake at the last minute and cause an accident to happen to his nephew whom he had managed to protect until now, Yinzhuo would really be furious.

“Honghui, listen to your sixth uncle. You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Just stay in this room. After today, your sixth uncle will take you wherever you want to go. Hongxi, Hongyu, and Hongqing, the three of you are not allowed to go out and play today either. Just stay in Shufeng Pavilion and play with your little brother Honghui.”

The little ones glanced at the scorching sun outside, nodded obediently, and said, "Fine, we won't go out then. It's so hot outside, there's nothing fun to do. Staying indoors is fine too, since we have food and drink here."

But there's a saying: "It's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate." Even though Yinzhuo was on guard against everything, he still couldn't prevent his unlucky younger brother from causing trouble. He had only taken a nap after dinner when his nephew got into trouble.

"That brat Fourteen is definitely unreliable. I asked him to watch the kids, and this is how he does it. Just wait, I'm going to skin him alive in a minute."

At this moment, Yinzhuo didn't care about his image anymore. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes before he ran wildly towards the lake. When he arrived, the little ones had already been pulled out of the lake, and a crowd of people had gathered around them. Yinzhuo could hear Hongyu's loud crying from a distance. His heart tightened, and he quickly ran towards the crowd. When he got there, he pushed through the crowd and saw Honghui and Hongqing lying on the ground, Hongyu crying uncontrollably beside them, and Hongxi crying and comforting his younger brother.

"Sixth Uncle~~ Waaaaah~~ Little Brother~~"

The two children ran towards Yinzuo crying as soon as they saw him. Yinzuo had no time to comfort them, as there were two others lying on the ground, their fates unknown. Without stopping, Yinzuo addressed the two little ones who had run to his side.

"Don't run around. Go wait under the shade of that tree. Where's your fourteenth uncle?"

Hongxi and Hongyu are not young anymore. Although they are afraid, they know what is important and what is urgent. When they heard Yinzhuo's words, they nodded obediently, pointed to the fourteenth finger squatting next to Hongqing and Honghui, and turned to walk towards the shade of the tree that Yinzhuo mentioned.

In the chaos around him, and with Hongyu and Hongxi distracted, Yinzhuo only saw Hongqing and Honghui lying on the ground. At this moment, the crowd automatically made way for the two of them upon noticing his arrival, and Yinzhuo then noticed that the Fourteenth Prince and two guards were squatting beside them, clearly performing CPR on Hongqing and Honghui.

Yinzhuo went over to observe the two people's rescue methods and found that there was nothing seriously wrong with them. So he didn't disturb them and just quietly squatted down next to Hongqing and Honghui, took their little hands, and silently prayed in his heart. As the saying goes, when you pray to gods and Buddhas, you have to be sincere or at least pray a lot. Yinzhuo prayed to every god and Buddha he could think of in his heart. Fortunately, he seemed to have some luck, because his prayers were heard by all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"Cough cough... cough..."

With the sound of Honghui and Hongqing coughing, Yinzhuo's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled back down. However, Yinzhuo knew that he couldn't stop the rescue immediately after the drowning people regained their faint spontaneous breathing. He signaled the guards to continue performing CPR on the two of them. After observing them for a while and seeing that they were becoming more stable, he let them stop. Then he let go of their hands and carefully helped them up from the ground. Ignoring that they were soaking wet, he reached out and hugged them.

"You two rascals are finally awake! Your sixth uncle was scared to death by you. How are you feeling now? Is there anything that feels uncomfortable?"

Honghui and Hongqing were still in a daze, coughing incessantly and unable to answer Yinzhuo's questions. In fact, Yinzhuo didn't need their answers. He held Honghui and Hongqing to vent his pent-up emotions from fear, then carried them on his back and in his arms, and got up to walk towards Shufeng Pavilion.

"Sixth Brother, give me one of them."

Yinzhuo glanced at the Fourteenth Prince, then at Hongyu and Hongxi who were coming to greet him, pretending not to hear what he said. He continued walking with Honghui and Hongqing on his back towards Shufeng Pavilion. Dexi had already personally led people to the Imperial Physician Wang to invite people when he learned that the young princes had an accident. Yinzhuo had just returned and put Hongqing and Honghui on the couch when he arrived with the Imperial Physician Wang.

"Imperial Physician Wang, come quickly and examine the two young princes. They fell into the lake and swallowed a lot of water. They were awake for a while, but now they seem to have fainted again. I just checked them, and their breathing and heartbeat are fine..."

Yinzhu told the imperial physician what he knew, then got up and made room for the physician to take the pulses of the two children. Since they were all old acquaintances, the physician didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down in the spot where Yinzhu had been sitting, adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and began to take the pulses of the two children on the bed. After taking their pulses, he called over the guards and palace servants beside the children to ask them questions, and then got up to bow to Yinzhu in response.

“Your Highness, according to the description given by the servants of the young princes, they were quickly rescued after falling into the water. Now, both young princes are breathing and their heartbeats are stable, so they should be fine. This old minister has prescribed two doses of medicine to stabilize their minds, and they should wake up soon. However, in this old minister's opinion, the fact that the two young princes are safe and sound is largely thanks to the CPR technique that Your Highness taught us earlier…”

Hearing that Physician Wang said that Honghui and Hongqing were alright, Yinzhuo was finally relieved. He never expected that the CPR he had casually taught the physicians would eventually save his two nephews' lives several years later. It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck.

"Thank you for your trouble, Physician Wang. Dexi, you and Physician Wang go together. Bring the medicine over as soon as it's ready. Fourteen, you come here..."
