He did use to play with his youngest brother, but at some point they grew apart.
"Xiao Qi, have you caught a cold? Your voice sounds a little hoarse."
Prince Kang said these caring words, and the aggrieved look on Prince An's face disappeared, and his peach blossom eyes lit up.
"Yes, Third Brother, I caught a cold some time ago, but I'm fine now!
My younger brother came here today because he has something important to tell Third Brother, and also... "
Prince An rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly. He was obviously a handsome young man, but for some reason he exuded a bit of vulgarity.
"Brother, can you please see my niece? At the full moon ceremony that day, my brother only looked at my niece from a distance and didn't even hug her.
My little niece is very good and very cute."
When mentioning his daughter, King Kang straightened his back a lot.
Look, who wouldn’t say his daughter is cute?
His daughter is the cutest in the world!
"Of course you can, but you have to wait a while. When I came out of the house, Jiu'er had already fallen asleep. She should be able to wake up in a while."
Prince An smiled so much that his peach blossom eyes narrowed, "Okay, okay."
"Xiao Qi, what is the important thing you just mentioned?"
King Kang calmed down and asked about this matter.
Prince An also suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Third brother, I witnessed the assassin and Mei Cui harming my niece on the day of the full moon ceremony, and I have been very worried these days.
Although the emperor had already sent people to interrogate them, my brother was anxious and asked the guards to investigate as well.
The result of the investigation was that the assassin was sent by the Minister of Rites, and Mei Cui was instructed by Concubine Shu.
When my younger brother found out, he immediately came over to tell my third brother. The sooner we know who the enemy is, the safer our niece will be."
Prince An's words dispelled some of Prince Kang's doubts about the old emperor.
The results of the emperor's interrogation are the same as those of Xiaoqi's investigation.
That was enough to prove that his father had not lied to him.
Fortunately, it was just his wife who was overthinking it. He said, after all, the emperor is the king of a country. How could he be angry and dissatisfied with him because of the snow disaster, or even tell him who was behind it and make enemies for him?
"Xiao Qi, thank you for thinking of Jiu'er and sending someone to investigate.
To be honest, my father has already sent someone to tell me, and the person behind the scenes that he found out is the same person you mentioned.
It is indeed the Minister of Rites and Consort Shu."
Upon hearing this, Prince An scratched his head.
What Alin said was right. Would the Third Prince think that he was being hindsight or had other intentions?
After all, the Third Prince was naive in the past, but he may not be as naive now.
"I see. Then, Third Brother, do you know the punishment that Father has imposed on Concubine Shu?"
Prince Kang shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know. The people sent by my father told me the results of the investigation. My father said that there was no evidence that the Minister of Rites ordered the assassination, and asked me to find evidence myself.
As for the matter of Concubine Shu, Father said he would let Mother decide how to deal with her."
Prince An curled his lips, "Father is really good at talking. The assassin said that it was the Minister of Rites who ordered him to do so. Isn't this enough as evidence?
And as for Concubine Shu, it was clearly Father who ordered her to be banished to the cold palace, so when did it become the Imperial Concubine's idea?
King Kang: “…”
"The Imperial Concubine Shu was banished to the cold palace by the Emperor? Is that the only punishment?"
"Yes, I heard that the Emperor also said that how long Concubine Shu will stay in the cold palace depends on when the Imperial Concubine calms down.
If the Imperial Concubine calms down, then the Concubine Shu can be released from the cold palace.
This punishment is simply too mild. Concubine Shu has a bad temper to begin with. When she comes out of the cold palace, who knows what she will do to the Imperial Concubine!
Prince An wrinkled his handsome face and looked angry.
Prince Kang's expression was not very good either. "If I remember correctly, Concubine Shu is the Empress's cousin."
"Third brother, you're not mistaken. Concubine Shu is indeed the Empress's cousin. I'm afraid the Empress will ask the Imperial Concubine to plead with her and ask her to release Concubine Shu from the cold palace as soon as possible.
The Imperial Concubine has always been gentle and kind, and she probably can't stand the Empress's soft and hard persuasion and will easily give in.
The concubine Shu might be released from the cold palace in just a few days.
That's why my younger brother said that the punishment that the emperor gave to Concubine Shu was really meaningless and it really didn't hurt at all!
Isn't it said that the Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's favorite concubine? How can you treat a favorite concubine like this? I didn't know that I thought the Imperial Concubine was the Emperor's favorite concubine. "
Prince An couldn't help but complain a few words.
The speaker may not intend it, but the listener may take it seriously.
King Kang felt uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.
"Father may have his own reasons for doing this."
Prince An curled his lips and wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he swallowed the words back.
"Third brother, do you need my help in investigating the assassination of my niece by the Minister of Rites?
My brother can also send someone to investigate, maybe there will be some unexpected gains."
Although Prince An was just asking, he had already made up his mind to help with the investigation.
He came to Prince Kang's mansion openly today, and it is possible that those people outside have already rowed him onto the third prince's boat.
Then the Prince An's Palace and the Prince Kang's Palace are like grasshoppers on the same rope, they prosper together and suffer together.
He is helping his third brother and also helping himself.
King Kang originally wanted to decline politely, as he didn't want to trouble others.
But when he saw Prince An's expectant eyes, he agreed.
After the two brothers finished their business and reminisced about the past, they went to the wing room together.
Prince An wants to meet his little niece.
King Kang asked King An to warm himself by the fire in the outer room first, and he went into the inner room to see if his daughter had woken up.
"My Lord, where is Prince An?"
Ye Peizhu, who was sitting by the crib, watching her daughter and reading a storybook to pass the time, asked when she saw Prince Kang come in.
"Prince An is in the outer room. He wants to come and see Jiuer. I will go in first to see if Jiuer has woken up. Is Jiuer still asleep?"
King Kang whispered as he walked over to the crib.
The room was very warm. The little kid had his hands stretched out on both sides of his head, his face was red from sleeping, and his legs were crossed as he slept on his back. He was so adorable.
"Since Jiu'er is still asleep, I'll let Prince An go back first. Prince An's mansion is quite close to here anyway.
It won’t be too late to let him come over after Jiuer wakes up.”
Prince Kang lowered his voice and said this to Ye Peizhu, and planned to go out and tell Prince An about this matter.
Before I turned around, I heard my daughter's aggrieved little voice.
[Wow, I wet the bed again. My butt is burning hot. Although this isn't the first time I've wet the bed, I still feel so embarrassed.]
