Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Chapter 46
Kangxi's fingers, which were dressing Yinyu, sank slightly. He frowned and looked towards Liang Jiugong, then asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
After he learned about what Concubine De did to Yinzhen after he ascended the throne, he felt a little conflicted.
If history is unstoppable and Yinzhen is bound to ascend the throne, then he does not want Defei to be alive and affect the relationship between Fourteenth Prince and Yinzhen.
However, Defei was the mother of Yinzhen and Yinzhen, which made him feel very conflicted.
But now, suddenly, Concubine De was dying, and she specifically wanted to see Yinzhen and Yinzhen. This made him feel a little weird from the bottom of his heart.
Yinyu looked towards Liang Jiugong, then mentally asked System 679, "System, is Concubine De's health truly failing?"
Judging from the course of history, Concubine De still has at least a few more decades to live.
However, there was no system in history, so there was naturally no way for Kangxi to see in advance what kind of person Concubine De was, and there would be no house arrest, right?
System 679 nodded slightly at Yinyu, then said in a childish, robotic voice, "Perhaps. I saw him vomit blood."
Upon hearing this, Yinyu was a little surprised and asked in his heart, "Vomiting blood? Is it that serious?"
Kangxi listened to Yiren Yitong's words, and his expression became a little complicated. He said to Liang Jiugong beside him in a deep voice: "Send a royal physician to take a look, and send someone to notify the fourteenth."
He paused slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "Also tell Yinzhen that if he wants to go, he can go, and if he doesn't want to go, there's no need to force him."
Under normal circumstances, Yinzhen would have to go and take a look. Ever since he was punished to kneel in the snow and ice last time, with a thin layer of ice on his body, he felt that the mother-son relationship between Yinzhen and Defei had come to an end.
It is true that Defei was Yinzhen’s biological mother, but what she did completely destroyed the mother-son relationship between her and Yinzhen.
So it doesn’t matter whether Yinzhen goes to see her or not.
After hearing this, Liang Jiugong paused for a moment before bowing to Kangxi and saying, "Yes, I'll go right away."
After saying this, he bowed and walked out.
After he left, Sun came in with meat porridge. She bowed slightly to Kangxi, quietly placed the meat porridge on the table, and stepped aside.
Kangxi reached out and picked up the meat porridge, picked up the spoon and stirred it from time to time. He scooped the meat porridge with the spoon, blew on it near his mouth, and waited until the porridge became warm before putting it near Yinyou's mouth.
Yinyou opened his mouth and swallowed the meat porridge.
The meal was eaten very quickly, and it was finished in about half a quarter of an hour.
Kangxi took a handkerchief and wiped Yinyu's mouth, then picked up his cloak and said to him, "Fifteenth, follow your father to see Consort De. She is Fourteenth's mother and is ill now. She wants to see Fourteenth and the others."
If Concubine De really just wanted to see Fourteenth, he wouldn't stop her, but if she had other ideas, then don't blame him!
He can't see it and can't investigate it, but the system can know it. When the time comes, he can learn everything he wants to know from the system.
So Fifteen still needs to be brought along.
When Yinyu heard Kangxi's words, he hugged his arm with his hands, smiled with his eyebrows curved, and said in a childish voice: "Daddy."
Kangxi immediately understood what he meant. He picked up the man, put a cloak on him, and walked outside.
The two walked all the way to the gate of Yonghe Palace.
Then I saw Yinzhen and Yinzhen walking towards me from the other side.
The moment Yinzhen saw Kangxi, he bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."
Yinzhen followed suit and saluted. He glanced at the tightly closed gate of Yonghe Palace, his face full of nervousness.
Seeing him like this, Kangxi sighed and said to the guard at the door calmly, "Open the door."
The gatekeeper bowed slightly to Kangxi, took out the key, placed it on the keyhole, and opened the heavy iron chain. The gate of Yonghe Palace was then pushed open.
Concubine De was dressed in a cyan palace dress, holding the maid beside her and standing at the door. The moment she saw the palace door opened by the chain, her eyes turned red. She knelt on the ground with the maid beside her and kowtowed to Kangxi, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As she spoke, she straightened up and coughed violently. The blood from her cough could be seen clearly through the white handkerchief.
When Yinzhen saw the blood that Defei coughed up, he burst into tears. He quickly ran to her, threw himself into her arms, and said to her with a choked voice, "Mother, why are you vomiting blood?"
"Wow, I don't want my mother to die."
Yinyu frowned and looked at Yinzhen. In his heart, he asked the 679 system with doubts: "How did Yinzhen know that Concubine De was going to die? Did Concubine De tell him?"
"If Defei told him, then Defei's intentions are not pure."
Even his own son can be used. This method is really despicable.
When System 679 heard Yinyu's words, it said to him in a childish, mechanical voice, "Not entirely, isn't vomiting blood usually a sign of death?"
At this point, he paused slightly, then smiled at Yinyu and said, "It was indeed Concubine De who told Fourteenth Prince that Her Majesty the Concubine De was seriously ill and wanted to see him one last time, and asked him to be sure to bring Fourth Prince with him."
He couldn't help but click his tongue twice as he spoke, then asked Yinyu in confusion, "What do you think Concubine De is planning this time?"
Defei's methods are not low, he can't tell from the short video, but there are three short videos a day, and one has already been used, so he wants to save some for the host.
This will prevent the host from wanting to watch something else later but finding there are no spots available.
Anyway, he can see it and can narrate it orally.
Kangxi listened to the conversation between the two people, his lips slightly pursed into a straight line, his eyes fell heavily on Defei. He turned his head to look at Yinzhen, his lips moved, but he said nothing.
Yinzhen stood quietly aside, his eyes fixed on Yinzhen who was held in Defei's arms.
During this period, Yinzhen stayed by his side, letting him know that this child was a good person. He knew how to consider others and respected him very much. The only thing was that he missed his mother several times a day.
Maybe it's because he is still too young.
But as soon as he had this thought in his mind, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. What was he like when he was six years old?
Maybe he is not as good as Yinzhen?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Defei held Yinzhen's body and looked at his slightly fatter appearance. She couldn't help but said to him, "Fourteen, mother is fine, don't cry."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yinzhen, her eyes somewhat evasive as she said, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to say."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi nodded slightly at her and walked inside holding Yinwei.
The sun is shining brightly, and the warmth it brings to people's bodies makes them feel very comfortable.
When Concubine De saw Kangxi walk aside, she whispered to Yinzhen, "It is Mother who has let you down. Before, Mother always felt that since you were raised by Empress Tong, you were not of the same mind as Mother and you could not say anything nice to make Mother happy."
"Mother thinks you are not as good as Fourteen, not as considerate as Fourteen. Mother is wrong."
As he spoke, he looked up at Yinzhen and said with regret in his voice, "Xiao Si, can you forgive your mother?"
Yinzhen listened to Concubine De's words, and the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes said calmly: "I will not forgive you."
"Ever since you punished me time and time again, I've felt that you're not my mother. The Master once said that filial piety is the most important virtue. No matter what you do to me, you're still my mother."
"But ever since you made me kneel in the snow last time, my body was frozen. If the Emperor hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have died. At that time, I felt that there was no relationship between us."
"I am the fourth prince of the Emperor's family, and you are the Empress Defei of the palace."
Yinzhen spoke frankly, and the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot. He had not had a good life since Tong E'niang died.
And all the misfortunes were brought to him by his own mother.
Does he have to forgive her for just saying she was wrong?!
Why?
Kangxi listened to Yinzhen's calm words and fell silent. He knew that Xiaosi's life was difficult, but he didn't expect that he could let it go.
From being eager to please Concubine De at the beginning to being indifferent now, the way she is gradually forcing him to stay away from her is very similar to how he treated his royal father back then.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed, but said nothing.
The moment Yinyu heard this, he said happily in his heart: "679, my fourth brother said it very well. Defei treated him so badly, and she wanted to turn the page on what she did before with just a simple mistake. How could such a good thing happen?"
"Don't talk about him. I was angry when I saw him."
System 679 said to Yinyu: "Host, this cannot be blamed on Yinzhen. He is also oppressed by filial piety."
"At this time, filial piety comes first. That's what your father believes in. Your fourth brother is already a heretic. If anyone outside knew about this, he'd be in trouble."
All the civil and military officials in the court had read books of sages since childhood. Even for the sake of their own official positions, they dared not go beyond the word "filial piety".
Upon hearing this, Yinyu smiled and said, "A loving mother leads to a filial son. What if the mother is not loving?"
"I've finally seen clearly that Concubine De is using the guise of filial piety to set a trap for my fourth brother. If my fourth brother says something like this today, I'm afraid his reputation as an unfilial son will spread throughout the court tomorrow."
Before, he might not have understood what Concubine De was thinking, but now he understood it clearly.
Put people on the moral high ground and judge Yinzhen.
There are many such short videos in modern times.
Defei had not expected Yinzhen to make such a confession. She frowned slightly and looked at him, her lips trembling slightly, her face filled with disbelief. Her voice was tinged with sadness as she said, "Little Fourth, Mother knows that what she did before was excessive, but now that Mother is dying, can't you forgive her just this once?"
As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes and she choked up as she asked, "What can I do to make Xiao Si forgive my mother?"
Yinzhen listened to Concubine De's words, lowered his head and looked at his fingers. His mother was very good to him, but he knew how she treated his fourth brother.
Even now, he didn't understand what his mother meant, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He didn't want the relationship between his mother and his fourth brother to deteriorate further.
Thinking of this, he reached out and tugged at the hem of Concubine De's clothes, saying to her, "Mother, don't cry."
"Fourth Brother doesn't forgive you because he still feels that he hasn't gotten over the past. If you treat him well, he will forgive you over time."
He paused slightly at this point, then continued, "Just like how Mother treats Fourteen, even if Mother does something wrong, Fourteen will forgive her."
When Concubine De heard what Yinzhen said, she almost couldn't hold back the tears on her face. She lowered her head and looked at Yinzhen, her eyes full of warning.
Kangxi looked at the expression on Concubine De's face, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said why did she suddenly become better.
He could understand that a dying person wanted to see Fourteenth Prince, but it was hard to understand why he wanted to see Yinzhen.
I didn't expect you to be waiting here.
Thinking of this, he stood up from the chair holding Yinyu, looked down at Defei and said with a smile: "Defei, you don't need to ask Xiaosi for forgiveness like this. Xiaosi was not your child in the first place. After these few days, his jade butterfly will be on Tong Jia's body."
"By then, he will be a legitimate son like Yinreng."
