When the seventh brother was leaving, the fourth master called him back.

"Fourth Brother, is there anything you need to tell me?" The Seventh Prince walked with a limp, a pitiful sight. He was born with two legs that were different sizes. Although Kangxi was angry, this cripple was still his son, but he had always been raised as a disabled person and never assigned him any tasks. By the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the Seventh Prince had also been granted the title of Beile, and in terms of status, he was no less than the other princes.

"Seventh Prince, today your wife inexplicably stirred up trouble for one of my princesses in front of Mother. This princess knows your Dong family." Fourth Prince stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Seventh Master's face darkened, but he held back in front of Fourth Master, and could only apologize, saying, "Fourth Brother, I will definitely give her a good talking to when I get back. Nala has gone too far. It's already immoral for a woman not to have children, and she can't even stand others being with her."

The Fourth Prince naturally knew that the Seventh Prince had always been unable to hold his head high in front of Lady Nara. Although he was a prince of the Qing Dynasty, he was ultimately a cripple and a leisurely prince, powerless and without influence, while Lady Nara's father, Fake, was a deputy commander-in-chief, wielding considerable military power. Therefore, the Seventh Prince couldn't gain the upper hand in front of his wife, and even his concubines were kept under Lady Nara's control, not daring to overstep her bounds. However, the arrival of Lady Dong seemed to disrupt the inner court ruled by Lady Nara. Lady Dong's loveliness and kindness, her gentleness and mischievousness, quickly caught the Seventh Prince's attention, and gradually, for Lady Dong's sake, he stopped suffering mistreatment from his wife.

"Seventh Prince, you are, after all, a prince of the Aisin Gioro clan. You need not bow down to a servant. It is an honor for Father to bestow his daughter upon you in marriage. Lady Nara has been childless and has already lost her virtue. Now she has even harmed the princess and is consumed by jealousy. What is the point of keeping such a woman around?" Fourth Prince still spoke calmly, but Seventh Prince was somewhat hesitant to actually carry it out.

"After all, she didn't do anything seriously wrong, and there's no evidence that she did it." The seventh brother was used to being weak.

“There is definitely evidence, but you just haven’t been willing to face it. Seventh Brother, as long as you’re determined, I can speak to Mother on your behalf,” Fourth Master said.

"Abandon the Nara clan..." the Seventh Prince murmured. He knew that Lady Dong's death was definitely the work of his wife, but he dared not investigate. It wasn't that he was afraid of Fa Ke, but rather that he feared Kangxi would be even more disappointed in him. He desperately wanted to make his father happy just once.

"Seventh Prince, go back and think about it. If the evidence is conclusive, I believe Father Emperor will not tolerate it." After saying this, Fourth Prince personally helped Seventh Prince into the carriage.

The carriage of the Seventh Prince's mansion slowly sped along in the twilight that had already darkened. The man inside was also handsome; if it weren't for his congenital disability, he wouldn't have been the object of everyone's pity.

Seventh Prince recalled his childhood when he was just beginning to understand people, learning who his mother and father, the Emperor, were, and how he was greatly favored by Emperor Kangxi. He remembered Kangxi once lifting him onto his knees, patting his back, and whispering, "Yinyou, you are my seventh son. In the future, you will be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows for me, just like your eldest brother, protecting the world."

Heaven knows how much he longed to become the kind of person Kangxi hoped he would be. Even just once, once would have been enough, but fate seemed unfair to Yinyou.

Later, Emperor Kangxi arranged a marriage for him, which made the seventh prince feel that he might still have some use, namely, he could marry into a powerful family of officials in the court.

Every time he thought of this, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but laugh at himself. It turned out that his lameness did have some use after all.

When Empress Nara arbitrarily beat and scolded his princesses in the inner quarters, and frequently forced his pregnant concubines to kneel as punishment, the Seventh Prince ultimately endured it. He couldn't afford to turn against Empress Nara for the sake of one or a few women; that would put his father, the Emperor, in a difficult position.

But today, the Fourth Prince's words seemed to have awakened Yin You.

No matter what, he was a genuine son of the dragon. What was the Nara family? They were just bondservants of his ancestors. Even though they had gradually gained some power, they were still bondservants of the Aisin Gioro family.

Fourth Brother wants me to divorce my wife? But what's his purpose? Actually, Seventh Brother had wanted to divorce his wife for a long time, but he always considered Kangxi's feelings. Being betrothed by his father, even though neither of them liked the other, Seventh Brother still had to endure it. Today, after hearing Fourth Brother's words, he suddenly felt a bit confused.

Since I am the master of the Seventh Prince's mansion, what I say goes, and it's not up to Nara to stir up trouble. The Seventh Prince recalled what the Fourth Prince had told him, and he understood that the Seventh Princess was jealous by nature and had long been unpopular among his concubines because of her constant harming of pregnant princesses.

The seventh son felt a pang of heartache as he recalled Dong's bright and innocent smile. He was the one who had caused her death. Dong shouldn't have died; she should have given birth to a lively and adorable child and been a happy mother.

When the carriage arrived at the Seventh Prince's residence, the Seventh Prince, with the help of a servant, stepped down from the carriage, walked through the gate, and then headed towards the main house.

"Oh, Master is back?" Nara was having dinner when she saw the seventh prince standing at the door with a sullen face, so she spoke up.

"What, you seem to be better off if I don't reply?" the seventh brother said coldly.

“What are you saying, Master? Shall I serve you dinner?” Seeing that the Seventh Master’s tone was unfriendly, Nala said obediently.

"You can even kill my princess and her children, what else wouldn't you dare to do?" The seventh prince was still looking at Nala, his eyes unusually calm.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? You only had a little wine at the Fourth Prince's residence, how did you get so drunk?" Nara felt a little panicked.

"Let me ask you, was it you who harmed the Dong family?" Seventh Master walked into the room, walked to the main seat, and sat down.

"Master, what's wrong?" Nara waved her hand at the maids serving in the room, dismissing them all.

"Has the master been too tolerant of you all these years, to the point that you've become increasingly disrespectful to him?" Seventh Master said.

"My lord, whose words have you listened to? I have not done anything wrong. Why do you believe other people's slander?" Nara quickly calculated in her mind who had said what to the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, given his personality, why would he have asked her to say such things?

"You made things difficult for someone's princess in front of everyone, have you ever done anything wrong?" Seeing that Lady Nara refused to admit it, the Seventh Master had no choice but to deal with the matter first.

"My lord, how could I have known that Lady Niu was the Fourth Prince's favorite? I only said a few words because I saw her disrespecting Consort De." As Lady Nara spoke, she secretly resented Lanqin.
