"Since you can't find out, let's put this matter aside for now. You should know what's most important."

"I understand."

After Liang Jiugong agreed, Kangxi spoke again,

"Find someone who can move quickly and go to Yonghe Palace to make arrangements first."

He still planned to go to Yonghe Palace to see the situation. After that brat Fourteenth got a lesson, he might go to Yonghe Palace to complain. He wanted to see what Defei's attitude was towards this matter.

Liang Jiugong understood and made arrangements. Kangxi walked slowly towards Yonghe Palace.

By the time he arrived, it was completely dark. The eunuchs who were on night watch outside the Yonghe Palace were sent away, and Kangxi came to the Defei's bedroom without any obstruction.

"Bang!"

As soon as I got closer, I heard a crisp sound coming from inside, probably something breaking.

Kangxi frowned slightly.

"...I knew he was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. He even dared to attack Fourteen. Now that he dares to attack Fourteen, does he want to attack me in the future too?!"

"Master, don't be angry. You might get yourself hurt by anger."

In the room, Concubine De was tearing her handkerchief and gnashing her teeth.

"How can I not be angry? How old is Fourteen this year? He's only thirteen! How could that evil creature be so cruel to him!"

"Fourteen is such a naive person. To exonerate that evil creature, he even lied to me! How could he be worthy of Fourteen's consideration?"

Rulan, the maidservant of Concubine De, handed her a cup of tea at the right time and followed up her words with flattery.

"Fourteenth Master is truly excellent. Just look at how many times he's been to the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the past month. No other prince can compare to our Master in filial piety!"

Hearing this, Concubine De's face became much better. She sighed deeply.

"Fourteen is good in every way, except that he's a little too honest. If I hadn't known where he went when he left the palace today, I'm afraid he would have kept the fact that bastard attacked him a secret."

"How could he not see that she didn't even consider him her brother? She came begging for mercy, only to end up hurting herself. She even refused to go and file a complaint when I asked her to!"

Rulan advised, "You know the Fourteenth Master's temper. He cares most about his reputation. If you ask him to complain to His Majesty, I'm afraid the news will spread like wildfire tomorrow."

"Besides, aren't you still looking at me and wanting the Fourteenth Master to take this opportunity to become famous?"

Rulan's family all depended on the Uya family for their livelihood. Ever since Uya Weiwu was arrested, her father and brother had a hard time in the kitchen, so she didn't want the Uya family to fall. However, compared with Concubine De, Uya Weiwu's safety seemed insignificant.

As long as Concubine De does not fall, the Uya family will be able to get back on their feet sooner or later.

But she couldn't say this to Concubine De openly.

After all, no one wants to watch their father fall into danger.

"You do have a point, but he really shouldn't have hit Fourteen so hard. Fourteen's face is covered in wounds! What kind of brother is he?!"

Concubine De was still indignant.

"Moreover, at the age of fourteen, he knew how to run around for Guo Luomafa. He was fourteen years older than her, but he had the heart to stand by and watch the Uya family. It turns out that if he didn't raise them, he would never be able to tame them!"

"If I had known this day would come, I shouldn't have agreed to let him follow me when that bitch died!"

"Master, please be careful with your words..."

Kangxi could no longer listen to the following words, so he broke into Concubine De's bedroom with a gloomy face.

When the palace maids who were guarding inside saw Kangxi, they turned pale with fear and fell to their knees.

"This servant pays respects to His Majesty!"

When Concubine De heard the noise coming from outside, she was so shocked that her heart stopped for a moment and the hairs on her body stood up.

Before I could react, I saw Kangxi pull aside the curtain and walk to the bed in a few steps.

"Your Majesty."

Defei was so shocked that she stood up immediately, forgetting even to salute, and stared blankly at Kangxi who was so close to her.

"Who is the bitch you were talking about?"

Kangxi standing in front of Concubine De was like a thick wall, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe.

But she had been in the harem for many years, and she was stunned for only a few breaths. She quickly adjusted her mood and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."

"I want to ask you who is this bitch you were talking about?"

Concubine De gritted her teeth and dared not speak.

Although she didn't know when the emperor appeared in Yonghe Palace, the words she just said were so pointed that the emperor must have heard them, otherwise he would not have this attitude now.

"Speak up! Why aren't you talking?!"

Kangxi's face flushed with anger.

"Bitch, huh... I'm really surprised to hear this word coming out of your mouth!"

"Fourteenth is your son, but Fourth isn't your son? If I had known you would treat Fourth like this, I would have changed him into a Jade Butterfly and never let him return to Yonghe Palace!"
