Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Chapter 38
Chun'an, the young eunuch who followed Liang Jiugong, hurried in from outside. The moment he saw Sun, he said to her breathlessly, "Aunt Sun, please quickly dress the Fifteenth Prince and take him to Yuqing Palace."
Sun looked at the flustered Chun'an, her brows knitted together. She lowered her head and fiddled with the small bell in Yinyu's hand, then asked him, "What happened? Why is Chun'an so flustered?"
Did something happen to the prince?
If something happened to the Crown Prince, she absolutely could not take the Fifteenth Prince with her now. Once she did, the Fifteenth Prince would be implicated.
Thinking of this, the expression on her face did not change at all.
As soon as Chun'an saw Sun's appearance, he immediately understood her thoughts. Sun was loyal to the Fifteenth Prince. If Yuqing Palace was a Shura field now, she would definitely not take the Tenth Prince with her.
Yinyu held the golden bell in his hand and shook it slightly, making a crisp sound. He then said to System 679, "Why do I feel like things are going wrong?"
After hearing Yinyu's words, System 679 felt somewhat numb. He looked at Chun'an, his childish, mechanical voice filled with anger: "Host, if I said that we were all deceived by Yinreng, would you be angry?"
He didn't expect that in the short video he and the host saw with their own eyes, Yinreng was really assassinated. Who knew that his injuries now were all fake.
They're all fake!
The host was worried for nothing.
When Yinyu heard this, he was about to ask 679.
Chun An smiled bitterly at Sun and said, "Aunt Sun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine. He is injured, but they are only superficial."
"But when the Emperor was angry, he didn't say a word. Now the refugees outside the city have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. The Emperor wanted to execute those victims. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that the matter had become a big deal, he quickly apologized."
"You are bringing the Fifteenth Prince with you to plead for mercy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you don't go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might be beaten to death."
Chunan's face was filled with uncontrollable anxiety as he spoke.
When Sun heard this, she said to Chun'an, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
After saying that, she reached out and put on a thick padded jacket for Yinyou, then covered him with a fox fur cloak and a hat, then carried him outside.
As long as it doesn't implicate her master, it's okay to plead for mercy to the prince.
After taking two steps, he saw Chun An, who was standing there in a daze, and said to him, "Hurry up and go! Are you not in a hurry now?"
Upon hearing this, Chun'an quickly ran after him.
Yinyu finally realized what was happening and mentally asked System 679, "So, all of this was staged by my second brother? He used his injury to deceive us? If my father hadn't wanted to kill everyone to avenge him, he might not have admitted that all this was fake?!"
System 679 nodded at Yinyu, its childish, mechanical voice filled with melancholy as it said, "Yes, your second brother's beating was not unjust at all. How could he do such a thing when he had nothing better to do? When your father received the news, his face turned pale with fear."
"I usually take you with me wherever I go, but I was so rushed this time that I left you behind."
Yinyu listened to System 679's words, hugged Sun's neck, and thought gloomily, "You're right. We must beat him up. If we don't, we'll see if he dares to cheat us again next time."
Sun held Yinyou in her arms and walked to the gate of Yuqing Palace, breathlessly.
Before anyone even walked in, they heard the sound of someone hitting someone with a stick.
Chun An whispered to Sun: "Aunt Sun, please ask the Fifteenth Prince to help His Royal Highness to plead for mercy. The Emperor is very angry and I am afraid that he will beat His Royal Highness so badly that he will not be able to celebrate the New Year."
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. If the prince cannot celebrate the New Year well because of this, it will probably affect the emperor's mood.
When the emperor is in a bad mood, life will be difficult for those who serve him.
Sun listened to Chun'an's words and understood what he meant. She turned to Yinyu and said with a smile, "Fifteenth Prince, when we get there, please speak up for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the Emperor disagrees and still wants to beat the Crown Prince, then you can cry, okay?"
"Once you cry, the emperor will soften his heart and stop beating the prince."
She had seen the emperor's favor towards the Fifteenth Prince in recent times, and naturally understood that the emperor loved the Fifteenth Prince the most. As long as the Fifteenth Prince cried to the Crown Prince, the emperor would definitely soften his heart.
Yinyou listened to Sun's words, blinking his bright big eyes and nodding his little head vigorously at her.
When Sun and Chun'an saw that Yinyou had agreed, they immediately felt relieved.
Then he walked inside.
As soon as he entered the yard, Yinwei immediately saw Yinreng lying on a long bench, with the board falling on him from time to time. It was obvious that the person who beat him was showing mercy.
The moment Yinreng saw Yinwei, he blinked at him and grinned.
When Yinyu saw Yinreng's expression, he immediately felt a surge of anger. He mentally said to the 679 system, "System, I feel like my father is too kind to my second brother. Look, this isn't a punishment at all; it's clearly to activate his meridians."
"If he continues like this for a hundred strokes, I'm afraid he won't even get a scratch on his skin, right?!"
System 679 nodded in agreement at Yinyu, saying, "You're right. Yinreng didn't hit him lightly this time. I'm afraid he'll dare to do it again next time. If it were me, I would definitely beat him up once and for all."
When Yinreng heard the words of "one person, one unification", the smile on his face suddenly froze. He raised his eyes to look at Kangxi, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
Kangxi also heard the words of "one man unifies all things". He pursed his lips into a straight line and looked at Yinreng outside. He had originally turned a blind eye to this kind of fighting style.
But after hearing what Yinyou said, he felt that he and the system were right.
Yinreng admitted it himself this time, but what if he did something even more serious next time? By then, it would be too late to save him.
It seems that he is usually too nice to him and is reluctant to hit him. This time, he will not forgive him no matter what!
Thinking of this, he walked out of the house, looked at the people who had taken action, and said angrily: "Didn't you eat? Didn't you see that the prince didn't feel any pain?!"
"Beat him hard!"
Having said this, he turned to look at Yinyu. The anger on his face suddenly dissipated, and his voice became a little gentler. "Why is Fifteen here? Your second brother did something wrong today, and Daddy beat him. Don't learn from your second brother in the future."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, reached out and held Yinyu in his arms, touched his slightly cold little face with his hand, and said in a gentler voice: "After beating your second brother, Daddy will ask Liang Jiugong to prepare delicious food for you from the imperial kitchen."
When Yinyu heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his young face. He hugged Kangxi's face, patted it, and said in a soft voice, "Daddy."
Kangxi looked at Yinyou and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yinreng lay on the stool, his face wrinkled as he looked at the people beating him with a stick.
The men listened to Kangxi's words, watching his expression change so quickly, and whispered to Yinreng, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. The Emperor has ordered us to take action. Please bear with it. There are only ten more strokes left before it's over."
After saying that, he raised the board in his hand and hit Yinreng hard on the butt.
Yinreng suddenly let out a scream and looked at Kangxi pitifully.
Kangxi didn't even look at him, but lowered his head to talk to Yinyou.
After the beating was over, Yinreng was supported by someone and limped towards Kangxi. He looked at Kangxi with a pale face and said pitifully, "Father, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
Kangxi then turned to look at Yinreng, his expression turning cold as he said in a heavy voice, "Yinreng, this kind of thing is no joke! You got so little hit this time, it's because Father showed you some mercy!"
Yinreng listened to Kangxi's words, lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before nodding and saying, "Yes."
Kangxi looked at the expression on Yinreng's face and said to him, "If you don't admit your mistakes in the end, and instead watch your father kill everyone, your final outcome will be the same as theirs!"
If Yinreng watched him kill someone and didn't admit his crime, once the truth was exposed, he would definitely depose him as the crown prince, or even kill him suddenly!
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Yinreng.
Yinreng looked into Kangxi's eyes for a long moment before he said, "My son was wrong."
At this moment, he felt his father's deep disappointment in him, as well as a hint of murderous intent.
At this moment, he suddenly understood how much his father cared about him, and if anything happened to him, his father would avenge him.
Similarly, if he did something wrong and caused the tragic deaths of many people, his father would never tolerate it.
System 679 listened to Kangxi's words and said to Yinyu in confusion, "Isn't my father known as the father who loves his children the most? Even when your eldest brother used witchcraft and your second brother almost rebelled, he didn't kill them. Why is he so harsh on your second brother this time?"
Having said this, he paused slightly, then continued, "I feel like if your second brother hadn't come forward to explain, he would be dead now."
Yinyu thought for a moment, looking at Kangxi's youthful face. He said to the 679 system, "Maybe my father is still young. Youth and strength make him naturally a little cruel. If he had waited another ten years, he might not be like this now."
Kangxi thought about it and felt that he was right. He was still very motivated now and would have higher expectations for his children.
If Yinreng had not spoken at the last moment, he might not only depose him from the position of crown prince, but might actually take his life.
But will he still do the same thing ten years later?
The system said that he wouldn’t, maybe he would be really old by then and would be more compassionate towards children.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yinreng and sighed.
At this moment, Yinzhen hurried back from outside. He saluted Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, all the refugees have been taken to the Ministry of Justice. Please give the order, Your Majesty."
When Yinyu heard Yinzhi's words, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He said to the 679 system: "My second brother just got beaten, and my eldest brother is still running towards the gun. Is he afraid of not getting beaten?"
He also didn't expect that Yinzhen would come at this time. Instead of saying anything, he reported to Kangxi that all the people had been locked up in the Ministry of Justice.
Isn't this just asking for a beating?
Yinzhi did not expect that Yinreng would be beaten. He thought that what Yinreng had done had not been exposed yet. With so many people imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, it would take several days to interrogate them.
Who knew it would be exposed now?
Yinreng has already been beaten?!
Thinking of this, the expression on his face suddenly stiffened. He looked up at Yinreng and blinked.
Then he looked at Kangxi again, saw his darkened face, tried to find his voice, and explained: "Ah Ama, the Ministry of Justice is not cold, and there is food to eat. I think it would be good to let them stay there for a while...
Having said this, he couldn't continue, although he really thought so at the beginning.
I really think the Ministry of Justice is pretty good. At least people won’t freeze to death anymore.
As a result, Yinreng confessed so quickly!
Kangxi listened to Yinzhen's words, sneered, and said to Yinzhen: "Oh, since the Ministry of Justice is so good, then you should go to the Ministry of Justice and accompany them!"
