The Eighth Prince's wife was stunned by the Fourth Prince's words, but emboldened by the alcohol, she still stubbornly said, "I don't know what crime I have committed! I was just speaking the truth for my husband to alleviate the injustice and oppression he has suffered over the years, and to let the other princes see how Your Majesty treats your brothers. If the late Emperor were alive, he would never forgive you."

The Fourth Prince sneered, "What a fine way to relieve your husband's grievances and oppression! Since you say you don't know, then I'll tell you: the Eighth Prince committed a crime, so you are an accomplice."

The Eighth Prince's wife sneered, "What crime has the Eighth Prince committed? He has been diligent and conscientious all these years, never daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest. Why do you still refuse to let him go? Your so-called crime is nothing but a fabricated charge."

Everyone looked at the Eighth Prince's wife, thinking that she would probably not escape her fate today.

Lanqin also looked at Fourth Master with concern.

The Fourth Prince said, "You won't give up until you're completely convinced. Well then, let me tell you all the mistakes that the Eighth Prince has made over the years."

Then the Fourth Prince began to list the Eighth Prince's crimes, "Ever since the late Emperor was alive, the Eighth Prince has been forming cliques and cultivating his own followers. He thought the late Emperor was unaware, but little did he know that the late Emperor had seen it all."

The Eighth Prince's wife screamed, "Impossible! This is just your side of the story. You're just trying to find a reason for your succession. Everyone knows that the late Emperor favored the Eighth Prince. The throne should have been passed to the Eighth Prince, but you stole it from him."

This is insane! This is insane!

The way everyone looked at the Eighth Prince's wife at this moment was as if they were looking at a dead person.

The Fourth Prince mocked the Eighth Prince's wife's arrogance, laughing, "How could the Eighth Prince have such a foolish wife? But you two are really a family in this respect, equally arrogant and unable to see the situation clearly."

The Eighth Prince's wife said, "You are not allowed to insult the Eighth Prince."

"Do you still remember that gyrfalcon?" Fourth Prince asked, looking at Eighth Prince's wife.

"A gyrfalcon?" The Eighth Prince's wife seemed to recall something.

Fourth Master continued, "It's that gyrfalcon that attacked the late Emperor in Mongolia back then. It was because Eighth Prince was too arrogant that the gyrfalcon incident happened."

The Eighth Prince's wife said, "What do you mean? That gyrfalcon was just untamed and suddenly went berserk."

Then everyone remembered what happened back then. It turned out that when Kangxi was inspecting Mongolia, the Eighth Prince gave Kangxi a gyrfalcon. As a result, the gyrfalcon suddenly attacked Kangxi on the spot and was shot dead by Kangxi's guards with an arrow.

The Eighth Prince was immediately stripped of his title of Beile by Emperor Kangxi, dismissed from his position in the Imperial Household Department, and forced to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

When the Eighth Prince's wife heard the Fourth Prince bring up this past event, she thought about the events carefully. How could the gyrfalcon, which had been tamed, suddenly go berserk? Thinking about this, the Eighth Prince's wife couldn't help but start to suspect and said in horror: Did you do this? Did you tamper with that gyrfalcon?

"I would never stoop to such a thing," the Fourth Prince said.

The Eighth Prince's wife said, "If it wasn't you, then who else could it be? You benefited the most from this matter, and you are also the one who is most jealous of the Eighth Prince."

The Fourth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince's wife; she, like the Eighth Prince, was indeed unable to see the situation clearly.

Just as Fourth Prince was about to speak, Thirteenth Prince spoke first.

"That incident was something that Lao Ba reaped as a result of his own actions."

The Eighth Prince's wife looked at him resentfully and said, "You are not allowed to slander our Prince. Besides, what makes you so sure it's our Prince's fault? You're only protecting him because you have a good relationship with the Emperor."
