By the time Kangxi and Yinreng arrived at the prince's tent, half an hour had passed and everyone was still kneeling, not daring to relax at all.

Just before the prince left, it was clear that he wanted to kill them.

If he doesn't behave better, he will really be giving the prince a chance.

As for Wei Zhu, when she heard the announcement of Kangxi's arrival, she knew that she was in trouble.

He really didn't expect that the emperor attached so much importance to the prince.

Things like a palace maid climbing onto the bed are evidence that the prince is not strict with his subordinates. Why would the emperor come to the prince's tent to seek justice for him?

Wei Zhu racked his brains but couldn't figure out the reason.

Kangxi leisurely sat down at the head of the table, glanced at He Zhuer, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and said with disgust,

"Pull it out, so as not to soil the tent."

Yinreng stood beside Kangxi with his hands behind his back, waiting for Kangxi's decision.

After asking a few simple questions, Kangxi understood the general situation of the matter.

He frowned and looked at Yinreng.

"This Yehele Mama..."

Even for him, it was not convenient for him to punish the old servant beside the Empress.

It’s a pity that Yehele did not leave the capital this time.

Yinreng's expression turned cold.

"My son will never again use such treacherous servants."

He only said that he didn't dare to use it again, which meant that even if she lived, it would be impossible for her to stay in Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi pondered for a moment and said,

"Then it's up to you. I will write a letter to the head of the Imperial Household Department and ask him to escort Madam Yehele out of the palace."

Yinreng was surprised again for a moment.

As long as it did not infringe on his rights, Kangxi was a person who valued old times.

Therefore, most of the older and more experienced people who had been around him lived a decent life in their later years.

Why did you agree to his request so easily this time?

"This is unscientific... Could it be that in his previous life, the old man knew about those two old slaves and wanted to marginalize Zhenzhen under the pretext of caring about me?"

A decoupled Zhenzhen?

Who is Zhenzhen? Could she be the Crown Princess? But isn't her name Guaerjia Guhang?

Kangxi didn't have time to think about it, and was soon attracted by the word "marginalized".

He agreed to Yinreng only because he felt that with Yinreng's grateful nature, he would probably not wrongly accuse an innocent person.

After hearing Yinreng's inner thoughts, he became convinced of his judgment.

I still feel a little bit proud.

Kangxi's mood became quite good.

When his gaze shifted to the servants and guards, and he saw the familiar faces among them, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh.

Yinreng’s ability to offend people is really top-notch.

It’s okay for a slave.

The people he chose for Yinreng all had clean backgrounds, no connections or background, but were easy to control.

But the guards are all from noble families, and there are even a few first-class guards among them. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to get the position of a second-rank official in the future.

But Yinreng immediately accused people of being an accomplice of the assassination.

How can he judge this?

Kangxi finally saw it clearly.

Ever since he started to feel sorry for Yinreng and lowered his bottom line, it was as if his bottom line was gone.

No matter how big a mess Yinreng made, he wanted to cover it up perfectly.

So now I am in a dilemma.

Kangxi had a headache for a while and sighed,

"Everyone guarding the gate today will be demoted to Blue Feather Guards. The rest will be dragged out and given twenty lashes. Those who survive will be sent back to the Imperial Household Department."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids turned around and stared at Yuan'er, wishing they could eat her alive.

Yuan'er's face had already turned ashen.

She knew that even if she survived today, she would be tortured to death by the survivors.

Even her family may not have a good ending.

The guards wanted to struggle again.

A sinister-looking young man glared at Yinreng with hatred after hearing Kangxi's decision.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Kangxi was about to stand up and leave, but he sat back down after hearing this.

"oh?"

He recognized that this person was the most outstanding descendant of the Xilin Gioro clan. There was only one such person in the entire clan, and everyone was counting on him to make a good future.

No wonder she dared to jump in front of him.

"His Royal Highness's personal eunuch has his seal. Matters within the tent are not under the jurisdiction of servants. I merely checked the woman for any sharp weapons or poisons and then let her in."

"So what you're saying is, if my seal was stolen by a bad guy, you would be able to let them into my tent without any defense?"

Alhatu said anxiously,

"How can they be the same? He Zhuer is..."

Kangxi waved his hands, showing a rare good temper.

"Alright, it's probably because He Zhu'er is the Crown Prince's personal eunuch that I only punish you for negligence. If you were an accomplice of the assassin, how could you be alive now?"

Upon hearing this, Alhatu's shoulders collapsed instantly.

He could understand the implicit meaning of Kangxi's words.

If he doesn't know what's good for him, he might face more than just demotion.

Alhatu was unwilling to give in.

Today's imperial guards are divided into four grades. There are sixty first-grade guards, who are of the third rank.

There are 150 second-class guards, who are of the fourth rank.

There are two hundred and seventy third-class guards, who are of the fifth rank.

There are nine hundred blue-feathered guards, all of whom are of the sixth rank.

The status of the Blue Feather Guards is no different from that of the imperial guards.

The Xilin Gioro family had put so much effort into getting him to his current position, but now, because of a little He Zhuer, all the hard work of the Xilin Gioro family for more than 20 years had gone to waste.

Alhatu's eyes were a little red.

But his expression wasn't too strange, after all, he wasn't the only one with red eyes.

Kangxi left Liang Jiugong behind and went straight back to his tent. Before leaving, he glanced at Wei Zhu indifferently.

This made Wei Zhu, who had been shrinking for most of the day, feel his hair stand on end, and he felt as if he had lost his parents.

He felt bitter, and it seemed that he couldn't escape it.

Liang Jiugong went out with a group of fat and strong eunuchs, and quickly pulled all the eunuchs and palace maids out, smiling the whole time.

Yinreng was amazed.

This old guy's expression management is comparable to that of a professional actor.

More than a dozen palace maids were caned in public, causing quite a commotion. Even though it was completely dark, the tents were still lit up one after another.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Except for Kangxi and Yinreng, father and son, who slept well, everyone else was secretly trying to find out what had happened.

It was not until the night shift was changed and the demoted guard complained about the incident to his colleagues that everyone understood what had happened.

At once……

It's hard to comment.

She's just a palace maid who climbed onto the bed. Just deal with her directly.

Why did you go so far as to punish all the guards around the tent?

How many people will be offended by this?

Is the prince crazy?!
