Upon hearing these rumors that smeared his fourth son, the Fourth Master's face darkened once more, and a chilling aura emanated from him.

Faced with the father and son's ferocious aura, the eunuch who was kneeling to answer had already fallen to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, and was almost scared to death.

Li Dequan, having served Emperor Kangxi for so long, was able to withstand the combined onslaught of this overwhelming and violent aura.

Of course, it's also possible that he was so engrossed in his anger that he didn't perceive the impact of this violent aura.

The group were all shrewd individuals. Even though their rationality was largely clouded by anger, they immediately realized that the rumors smearing Xiao Hongxuan for beating his stepmother and being unfilial were fabricated by Kenji.

Moreover, it must have been done in the backyard of the fourth prince (himself/Fourth Master).

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Ha, thinking they can smear Hongxuan by spreading these rumors? What wishful thinking!" Kangxi was the first to define the matter, that is, Hongxuan was being smeared.

Of course, that's true.

“Master is right. How old is Prince Hongxuan? It’s clearly that Princess Wuya who has ill intentions towards him. He’s just uncomfortable being lifted up, so he’s struggling and flailing his arms and legs.” Li Dequan was very supportive of his master’s words and immediately voiced his support.

Before he could finish speaking, he continued, "Hmph, it was clearly just a coincidence that the young prince accidentally punched that Princess Wuya in the eye."

Besides, how could such a young boy like the little prince have the strength to beat that Princess Wuya so badly? Perhaps Princess Wuya deliberately provoked him.”

The more Li Dequan listened, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

Upon hearing Li Dequan's explanation, both Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Prince found it extremely reasonable and began to speculate about a conspiracy.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Princess Wuya had ill intentions, and the more certain he became that this was probably her plan.

What was her purpose?

Of course, it was all to loosen his grip on Hongxuan and throw him to the ground.
