Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...
Lin Wei Kai arrived soon.
Kangxi exempted him from the formalities and asked him to diagnose Shun Anyan's pulse directly.
Lin Wei Kai was a little surprised when he saw Shun Anyan with a bruised face and nose.
He had been in the Imperial Hospital all day today and only inquired about it when he came here. However, the father-in-law who brought him here did not explain the matter clearly to him.
However, he knew everyone in the room, and he could probably guess which prince Shun Anyan had offended, which led to his beating.
Tsk…
Look at the swollen face, Duke Tong must hate the murderer to death.
Lin Weikai quickly checked Shun Anyan's pulse, then turned back to look at Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort has suffered a severe heatstroke, and his skin and lips are dry. However, he received emergency treatment and is now stable. I would like to give him acupuncture, but he is covered in filth and is not suitable for acupuncture."
It was also because the temperature in this room was low that Shun Anyan's body temperature had dropped a little. If he had continued to stay outside, even in the shade, Shun Anyan's current condition would never be like this.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong to
"Go find a room in the side hall and clean him up!"
“Hey!”
"Lin Weikai, you go over there too!"
"yes."
After resolving the issue of Shun Anyan, Kangxi turned his attention to Yinreng.
He was kneeling more relaxed now, not as sharp as before.
Kangxi took two deep breaths to calm himself down.
"What is the identity of Shunan Yanyang's mistress?"
He asked Yinreng.
"At the beginning of the year, his colleagues gave him a concubine."
Yinreng had already found out the identity of that woman clearly. Wen Xian had a difficult pregnancy, and the princess's mansion was a tight-knit group. The specially trained maids always put Wen Xian first in everything, and it was impossible for them to take the initiative to arrange a concubine for Shun Anyan.
Shun Anyan couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and complained a few words when he went out for a drink with his colleagues.
In order to curry favor with this noble prince consort, someone catered to his preferences and found a beautiful and talented "cousin" and gave her to Shun Anyan.
Even the mansion where he kept his mistress was built by that man.
Shun Anyan was actually careful enough.
He never spent the night outside and didn't go to the outer room very often.
And every time I go to Fushouyuan, I stay there for no more than two hours and I must leave before curfew.
However, no matter how careful he was, he could not stop someone from watching his every move all day long.
After only four days of surveillance, Shun Anyan was exposed.
Yinreng endured for a few more days before calculating the time to catch the adulterer on the spot.
Kangxi asked,
"Who gave it to him?"
"Does it matter who sent it? What matters is that if he didn't have this intention, he wouldn't have had a mistress!"
Hearing this, Tong Guowei and Ye Keshu began to apologize again.
"It's all because of my failure to teach Shun Anyan well. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
"Your Highness is right. If he hadn't had that intention, he wouldn't have had a concubine. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on that evil creature. I'm equally guilty. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
"Tsk, as expected of Tong Guowei, what a nice thing to say!"
Yinreng curled his lips and was extremely disgusted with the father and son of the Tong family.
"Shun Anyan has been keeping a mistress for four months now. Haven't you heard anything? You're like a sack, aren't you? How can you be so stingy?"
Tong Guowei was known as Tong Banchao and had enormous influence in the capital. Yinreng didn't believe that he didn't know that Shun Anyan had a concubine.
But they wouldn't do anything to Shun Anyan even if they knew. Maybe they felt sorry for their son (grandson) who was lonely and couldn't find relief, so they were happy to see him keeping a mistress!
Kangxi rubbed his swollen eyebrows, his heart wavering.
He also knew that Yinreng's statement was tenable, but he couldn't bear to see Tong Guowei suffer again because of the affairs of his descendants.
He has very shallow kinship with his elders, and now the only elder who can talk to him is Tong Guowei, apart from the empress dowager.
Kangxi looked at the four people kneeling on the ground, with the left and the right clearly divided. Yinreng and Yin'er had their mouths curled with disgust on their faces.
Tong Guowei and Ye Keshu were dejected, full of regret and self-blame.
"Yinreng, take Yinzhen back first. I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
Yinreng was stunned for a moment, then sneered,
"yes."
He got up from the ground and left the Qianqing Palace with Yinzhen without looking back.
Yinzhen carefully looked at Yinreng's face, and seeing that he had no expression on his face, he became more and more uneasy.
"Second brother, are you... okay?"
"fine."
Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and asked Yinzhen,
"Laojiu, do you think we are really his children?"
Yin'er's heart skipped a beat, and he replied affirmatively,
"Of course, otherwise how could he have lived in the palace since he was young?"
"If that's the case, then why is it that every time something like this happens, he's the one who gets wronged?"
Yin'er's breathing stopped and he couldn't utter a word.
Because his mother was favored by the emperor, Yinzhen actually did not suffer much grievance from childhood to adulthood.
After entering the court to carry out his duties, the greatest injustice he suffered was that the emperor withheld more than two million taels of silver from him.
That was the money he had saved bit by bit over nearly two years from foreigners and dignitaries in the capital.
He just said lightly: "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."
I really didn’t give it to you.
Compared with his second brother, he suffered less grievances.
The only thing that Yinzhen couldn't understand was that he didn't allow his second brother to leave Beijing.
Without a legitimate reason, royal family members were not allowed to leave the capital. Yinzhen could understand that this was to prevent royal family members from gathering troops and exercising power outside, but his second brother had put the reasons before the emperor, but he still disagreed.
In addition, in order to install cannons on the treasure ship, my second brother lived in the Qianqing Palace for a whole month.
Even though Yuqing Palace was right next to him, he would not let his second brother go back.
And as for today's incident, it was clearly Shun Anyan who did something wrong, but the Emperor insisted on holding on to the fact that his second brother shouldn't have been dragged out for parade.
Even his words and deeds were trying to put the blame on Ninth Sister—
Could it be that Ninth Sister forced Shun Anyan to go to the outer city to keep a mistress with a knife?
All these things were really incomprehensible to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen sighed and patted Yinreng's shoulder.
"Second brother, don't think too much. Since the emperor said he would give us a satisfactory answer, then we should just wait. If he is not satisfied, Shun Anyan will never live a peaceful life in the future."
"Fourth brother is not in the capital, but there is still me and Fourteenth. The rest of us can help Ninth sister vent her anger!"
Yinreng pulled the corner of his mouth,
"I understand. It's getting late. Please leave the palace first. You have work to do tomorrow."
"become."
Yinzhen responded and walked towards the palace gate. After he walked a long way, he turned around to look at the Qianqing Palace shrouded in the setting sun and his second brother who was still standing at the door.
Something flashed through his mind.
