Chapter 659, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
Everyone present was intelligent, and although Yinzhen did not say it explicitly, everyone understood what he meant.
At this moment, even though the Fourth Prince's wife was extremely anxious, she knew the reason behind it all.
"Ninth Brother, please rest assured. I will remember your kindness, Ninth Sister-in-law. However, we do not yet know whether this medicine will be effective. We will just give it a try." Fourth Princess bit her red lips lightly, her words full of gratitude to Lin Jiu and the others. But when she talked about the medicine, a desperate look appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Lin Jiu and Yin Tang exchanged a silent glance, then silently followed behind the Fourth Prince's wife.
Since the distance wasn't too far to begin with, the group arrived at Honghui's residence in no time.
Along the way, Lin Jiu had already handed the pills to the Fourth Prince's wife.
As soon as Yinzhen stepped into the room, his gaze was drawn to his fourth brother, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Yinzhen's face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
Yin Tang's heart tightened suddenly, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
Before he could even speak, Fourth Prince Yinzhen mustered his spirits, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said in a low, gentle voice, "Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law, you've come a long way and must be tired. Honghui is lying on that couch over there; go and see him!"
Regardless of any past conflicts or unpleasantness between Yinzhen and his nephew, at this moment, Yinzhen's concern for his nephew is genuine and unwavering.
Look around. The other brothers either send a servant to deliver some items or tonics as a token of their appreciation; or worse, they don't send out any message at all.
Even his own brother, the Fourteenth Prince, who shared the same father and mother, was nowhere to be found at this moment.
This made Yinzhen feel extremely heartbroken and disappointed: "So be it," he sighed to himself, "Perhaps he shouldn't have relied on so-called family ties in the first place. Now that his thirteenth brother is by his side, that's enough. As for other brotherly affections, why force them?"
After Lao Jiu left Lao Ba, he became much more agreeable and was worth befriending.
However, at this time, Yinzhen was completely unaware that his status in the fourth prince's heart had undergone a subtle change.
If he knew about this, he would probably find it both laughable and absurd.
Although we are no longer at odds with the fourth brother, it is absolutely impossible for us to take the initiative to befriend him.
For him, maintaining a calm and uneventful relationship was a wise move.
Suddenly, Yinzhen noticed that the fourth prince was staring at him with a strange look.
That look in his eyes was both strange and chilling, as if it could penetrate his very soul.
Yinzhen frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Why is the Fourth Prince's gaze so strange, so... creepy!"
Yinzhen noticed Yintang's expression, his expression froze for a moment, then he resumed his cold demeanor. He took back his earlier words that Yintang was worth befriending; Yintang was still as annoying as ever.
Seeing this, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief. This was the real fourth prince; the way he had acted just now was not the fourth prince he knew.
Lin Jiu, who had been watching from the sidelines, chuckled to herself and tugged at Yin Tang's clothes, signaling him to tone it down.
Yinzhen pursed his lips and decided to let it go, considering his nephew's illness, he wouldn't hold it against the fourth prince.
Speaking of Honghui, he had just finished being fed medicine by the Fourth Prince's wife and was lying quietly on the couch.
Time passed slowly, but Honghui still hadn't woken up, and the Fourth Princess almost burst into tears.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, also looked unwell, but because he had been mentally prepared, he remained relatively calm.
