Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Kangxi bestowed the last "Fu" character and sent all the officials away.

When only he and Liang Jiugong were left in the room, Kangxi asked,

"How's the investigation going on with the old family's affairs?"

"Your Majesty, the clues have been lost at the Namudulu clan of the White Banner in the Outer City."

"Interrupted?"

Kangxi took a sip of tea and frowned.

The child in the eldest wife's belly is his first grandson, and a legitimate grandson at that. How could Kangxi not pay attention to it?

On the day Irgen Jueluo had a miscarriage, he had already sent people to investigate the matter.

He also specifically asked someone to keep an eye on Yinreng's reaction, just to see if Yinreng knew the culprit behind this incident.

After Yinreng and Mingzhu entangled for a while at the door of the boss's mansion, he felt something was wrong, so he asked people to start investigating Mingzhu.

The secret guards did find out some things at first, but Mingzhu has always been cautious, and even at the end, Mingzhu did not use the Nalan family's manpower.

But there was one thing he hadn't expected.

Here... the Tong family is also present.

Although the Tong family did not participate in the attack, they intercepted some evidence, probably intending to hand it over to the boss at a critical moment to cause a complete break between the boss and Mingzhu.

Kangxi felt complicated and indescribable emotions towards this uncle whom he had trusted for decades.

Longkodo was reduced to a poor man because of the eldest son, but the source of the problem was Longkodo himself. Not only did he not reflect on the fact that he had taught his son bad things, he also blamed all the mistakes on the eldest son.

This was something Kangxi could not accept.

"In that case, there's no need to investigate further."

Although no substantial evidence was found, Kangxi was not disappointed.

From the death of Nalan Kuifang until now, Mingzhu's series of reactions have become the most effective evidence.

Although he couldn't deal with Mingzhu openly, he would definitely not let Mingzhu's family have an easy time.

How could a mere Nalan Kuifang be worth the life of his own grandson?

And the Tong family...

snort!

"Go to the warehouse and pick out some high-quality supplements for the boss. And tell him... I will redeem him bit by bit for all the grievances he has suffered."

Liang Jiugong bowed his head and agreed.

“Yeah.”

Liang Jiugong took Kangxi's private seal and picked out a whole cart of supplements from the private warehouse.

Then he personally delivered it to the eldest prince's residence.

Seeing Yinzhi's untidy beard, Liang Jiugong felt a little sorry for him.

After Yinzhi kowtowed to thank Kangxi for his reward, the expression on his face finally looked a little better.

Liang Jiugong came closer and whispered,

"Big Brother, the Emperor has asked me to tell you that he will redeem you for all the grievances you have suffered."

Yinzhi was shocked when he heard this.

The fingers curled up unconsciously.

He didn't cry when his wife had a miscarriage, and he didn't cry when he found out that it was Mingzhu who did it.

But after hearing what Kangxi said to him, Yinzhi actually felt like crying.

"Thank you, eunuch..."

Yinzhi forced an extremely ugly smile and thanked Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong just bowed to him and then returned to the palace with his men.

At 3:00 p.m., Yinzhi entered the palace alone to express his gratitude. However, he did not leave the palace directly after the ceremony. Instead, he turned in another direction and came to Yuqing Palace.

Yinreng was roasting sweet potatoes around the coal stove.

"Here it comes..."

Yinreng pointed to the stool opposite and motioned him to sit down.

Yinzhi did as he was told, still without saying a word.

The room was silent.

Yinreng had also experienced something like this, so he could understand the pain in his heart, but he did not offer any comfort.

The sweet potatoes in the stove were cooked. Yinreng took one out, broke it in half and handed it to Yinzhi.

Yinzhi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then took it, and stuffed it into his mouth without peeling it.

"Be careful of the heat..."

Before Yinreng finished his reminder, he heard Yinzhi taking a breath.

"I reminded you in vain..."

Yinreng wanted to laugh at Yinzhi, but when he looked up, he saw tears streaming down Yinzhi's cheeks.

Yinreng sighed in his heart, swallowed the rest of his words, and quietly accompanied Yinzhi.

Yinzhi is now the father of two children, but he will only be twenty-one years old in February next year.

At such an age, it is normal to be unable to accept being betrayed by someone you regard as your elder.

When Yinzhi had almost vented his anger, Yinreng asked the kitchen staff to cook some side dishes and warm up some wine and drinks and bring them over.

I drank happily with Yinzhi.

Yinreng had hidden secrets in his previous two lives. He was afraid that he would reveal his secrets when he was drunk, so he consciously trained his drinking capacity.

But Yinreng has not exercised systematically in this life. After all, according to his first life, he is only an adult this year, and his body functions have not yet fully developed. Yinreng will consciously avoid some bad habits.

He is not a rebellious child and knows what he should and should not do.

But after drinking a lot of wine with Yinzhi, his head was still clear, and he had some confidence in his physical fitness.

It seems that reliving this third life is not all bad.

“Old…Old Second!”

Just as Yinreng was lost in thought, Yinzhi spoke with a thick tongue. When Yinreng heard his name, his face darkened for a moment.

But when he thought about how Mingzhu had just stabbed this guy in the back, he couldn't bear to scold him.

But there was no good tone,

"What?"

"Second brother... you know what? Ever since I was old enough to understand, I've... started to envy you."

As Yinzhi spoke, his voice gradually became choked.

"I'm so envious! You can be raised by the Emperor, but I can only... can only be raised outside the palace. Even during festivals, I can't see my mother!"

"So, I hate you... I hate you for stealing the emperor's attention. I used to think, how wonderful it would be without you..."

He spoke intermittently, his expression changing as he spoke, and at the end he even looked a little surprised.

"It wasn't until today...it wasn't until today that I realized that the Emperor...he also has me in his heart! Did you know?"

Yinzhi slammed his hand on the table, then covered his face and cried bitterly.

"In order to confirm this, I...it took me fifteen years!"

“…Fifteen years… Ugh!”

Yinzhi lay on the table, tears streaming down his face.

Yinreng heard a sense of relief in his tone.

For a moment, Yinreng felt complicated and indescribable.

Both he and his original self were not lacking in love when they were young. Even though Kangxi took his life with his own hands in his previous life, he did not hesitate to show his preference for him to the world.

That's why he was so defenseless against Kangxi.

To be fair, Kangxi's favoritism was not a good thing for any of the princes.

In order to resolve the negative impact of Kangxi's favoritism, Yinreng used every possible means.

But as a son, he could not blame Kangxi for this.

Only in this life could he justifiably discard Kangxi's favoritism.

But the things he discarded like trash were things that Yinzhi would never be able to obtain in his lifetime.
