Before dawn, an explosive piece of news spread in the court.

Everyone was discussing the incident in which the ninth prince Yinzhen entered the palace in the middle of the night and then knelt at the door of the Yangxin Palace.

"What happened to the Ninth Prince? Why did he kneel in the Yangxin Palace for a whole night for no reason?"

"I don't know. His Majesty also sent someone to ask him. He just said that he felt he had failed to live up to His Majesty's trust and felt guilty. He didn't say anything else."

"Ninth Prince is truly a pillar of the country. He punishes himself in this way because he feels he has failed to live up to the trust of His Majesty. It really makes us ashamed."

. . .

In the court, everyone was discussing in low voices.

Only the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince, who were standing at the front, remained unmoved and remained silent, each thinking about their own things.

Emperor Kangxi came to the court and looked at his sons standing in the hall. An unclear and inexplicable look flashed across his eyes.

After the morning court session ended, Yinzhen and the Thirteenth Prince were called away by the Crown Prince.

Before leaving, Yinzhen instructed Su Peisheng to go to the villa and take good care of Jiang Ranli.

The Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince were anxious to find Jiang Ranli. They ignored everything around them and rushed out of the palace.

The eldest prince walked to the Yangxin Palace and looked at Yinzhen who was still kneeling there, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Laojiu, stop struggling. You won't be able to find that woman. If you confess earlier, that woman will suffer less. Otherwise... Haha."

The eldest prince tried to break down Yinzhen's psychological defenses, but Yinzhen hadn't said a word so far and just knelt there, winning the respect of all the civil and military officials in the court, which was something he didn't want to see.

Yinzhen knelt with his body upright, seemingly unable to hear what the eldest prince said. Only his clenched fists revealed his inner anxiety and worry at the moment.

When Su Peisheng rushed to the villa, the maid reported to him, "Miss Jiang has not slept all night and now refuses to eat."

Waving his hand to signal the maid to leave, Su Peisheng stood silently in the lush green garden.

He stood here with his master all night yesterday. When his master went to court today, he already had a slight cold. Now he was called by the prince to do some work. Even a strong body could not bear it.

With a frown on his face, Su Peisheng made a decision in his heart.

He knocked lightly on the door and said inside, "Miss Jiang, I have something important to tell you."

Hearing his voice, Jiang Ranli blinked and pretended not to hear it.

"Miss Jiang, I just came back from the palace. The Ninth Master has been kneeling at the door of the Yangxin Palace since last night and has not gotten up yet," Su Peisheng said again.

When Jiang Ranli heard about Yinzhen, his heart began to beat violently and he quickly got up and opened the door.

"Eunuch Su, how is the Ninth Master? Why is he kneeling in the Yangxin Palace?"

Looking at Jiang Ranli's concerned and anxious expression, Su Peisheng felt resentful in his heart. His master had not slept all night and had stood in the garden in the cold wind all night, so why didn't she care about her master?

Restraining his emotions, Su Peisheng thought for a while and said, "The eldest prince used you, Miss Jiang, to threaten the Ninth Master. He found many faults of the Ninth Master and asked the Ninth Master to surrender and apologize to the Emperor."

When Jiang Ranli knew these things, his heart felt as if it was being stabbed by needles.

"Miss Jiang, now only the Fourth Master can save the Ninth Master."

Listening to Su Peisheng's words, Jiang Ranli looked at him suspiciously. In this situation, as long as Yinzhen was willing to let her go, as long as she appeared in front of Yin'er in good condition, Yin'er would not be threatened by anyone.
