Chapter 24 Emperor Kangxi: How could I give birth to such a smart son?
Wenjiu put his hands together in a place where no one could see and bowed pitifully.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and suddenly turned to look at Concubine De:
"My son remembered that he had not yet paid his respects to the Queen Mother, so he left first."
De Fei frowned and said, "Aren't you going to wait for Little Fourteen?"
Fourth Master: "No."
After saying this, the Fourth Master walked out of the door with great force.
Wen Jiu was stamping her feet anxiously behind her. If there weren't so many people around her, she really wanted to catch up.
Uncle Si is angry. If I don’t appease him now, he might get pinched again!
After watching the Fourth Master leave, Concubine De waved to everyone and said, "Everyone, sit down and have some snacks. There are a lot of things to do today, and we won't be able to rest all day."
Defei didn't know that she had done a great thing. After the Fourth Master left, she regained her appetite and ate a few more snacks. She even took a few pieces to warm the wine.
How could I have the mind to eat while I was warming the wine? My heart had already flown out the door with the Fourth Master!
The sharp eyes of Fu Jin and Li were about to see through the warm wine.
With Concubine De around, that bitch Wenjiu is about to shit on their heads.
However, neither of them bothered to warm the wine for the time being.
Fu Jin felt that it was too degrading.
Li was still thinking about the Fourth Master's attitude towards her just now. She felt uneasy and had no mood to cause trouble for Wenjiu.
The Yonghe Palace was still relatively calm, but outside, an evil wind blew into the Qianqing Palace.
"What? You said...you said that Fourth Brother abused a maid? He even beat her to the point of disability?" The Tenth Prince widened his eyes in shock.
The Ninth Prince slapped him on the back of the head: "Keep your voice down! How dare you yell that?"
Then Master Jiu waved his hands to the servants around him and said, "Watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense."
The slave responded to his life and trotted away.
Jiu Ye also pointed at Lao Shi's nose and lectured him: "This is Fourth Brother's private matter, you better be careful and don't let it slip."
The Tenth Master curled his lips and said, "Why would anyone spill the beans if they didn't tell me? Their eunuchs could find out, so it must have spread all over the palace."
"Fourth brother can do it, why are you afraid of people spreading the news?"
"What's going around?" Emperor Kangxi straightened his clothes and looked at his two sons. "What do you think your fourth brother has done?"
The Ninth and Tenth Masters were startled and turned around stiffly, only to see their eldest, second, third, fifth, seventh, and eighth brothers standing beside the Emperor.
And everyone looked extremely curious.
The two of them bumped into each other, but no one could tell what was going on.
Emperor Kangxi squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them. He simply ordered: "Liang Jiugong, go find out what is being spread outside."
A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Kangxi slammed the table in anger.
"How dare you, Old Four, abuse a young girl to death!"
Jiu Ye: “???”
Master Shi: “???”
The two looked at each other, and the version they heard seemed a little different...
"Come here, bring that rebellious son to me now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch ran in: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince requests an audience."
"...What a rebellious son! Let him come in!"
Emperor Kangxi leaned against the dragon throne with a stern face, his expression frighteningly cold, as if he was ready to bring an army to bear to punish someone.
Below, the prince frowned slightly.
Prince Zhi looked like he was enjoying a good show.
The third master was in high spirits, craning his neck to look outside.
The Fifth Master looks at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
Mr. Ba's eyes were calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The Ninth and Tenth Masters put their heads together and whispered to each other.
The Fourth Master entered the room and bowed to Emperor Kangxi: "Greetings, Father Huang. May you be in good health."
Then, the atmosphere became eerily quiet.
Emperor Kangxi didn't say anything, and the Fourth Master didn't say anything either. Everyone looked at the Fourth Master, but they didn't say anything either.
"Fourth brother, don't you have anything to say to me?" After a while, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help it anymore.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly and said, "Father Emperor, I wish you long life and good health."
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
The princes: "......"
"Is that all?" Emperor Kangxi's eyes widened.
The Fourth Master thought for a moment and bowed again: "I wish the Emperor Father to be full of energy and good fortune in the new year."
"Fourth Brother!" Emperor Kangxi slammed the table and said, "You are still playing dumb with me! Kneel down before me."
The Fourth Master lifted his robe and knelt down, his phoenix eyes sweeping over the faces of his brothers, feeling confused and puzzled.
"Liang Jiugong!" Emperor Kangxi said coldly, "Tell your Fourth Master all the gossip you heard today!"
Liang Jiugong stepped forward bravely: "I heard that a young girl was abused to death in the Fourth Master's mansion. The Emperor is very worried..."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Where did you hear this from?"
"Fourth brother, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and apologize to the emperor!" Prince Zhi said in a tone that he was doing it for your own good.
"Big brother, that's not right." The prince said with a faint smile, "It would be better to let fourth brother explain clearly."
The Eighth Master continued with a smile, "Second brother is closer to Fourth brother after all. However, now that Fourth brother has done something wrong, Second brother is protecting him. This is not really good for Fourth brother. After all, human life is at stake.
The death of a servant is a minor matter, but if the Censorate knew about it, the entire royal family would be disgraced."
"That makes sense." Prince Zhi looked at the Fourth Master with deep sorrow and anguish, "Fourth Master, you have been capricious since you were little. Have you forgotten all the teachings that the Emperor has given us over the years?
With a temper like yours, how can you shoulder the responsibility of disaster relief? Father Huang, please think twice."
After hearing this, the Eighth Master frowned slightly, glanced at the Prince of Zhi, but said nothing in the end.
Brother, you are too anxious. I am afraid something bad is going to happen.
"Oh?" Kangxi turned his gaze to the Prince of Zhi. "Boss, who do you think is more suitable to send to provide disaster relief?"
"Father!" The prince frowned, "Things haven't been figured out yet..."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand to interrupt the Crown Prince and looked at the Prince of Zhi: "Let the boss finish."
Prince Zhi puffed out his chest and said, "Father, I am willing to go. If you don't want me to go, my eighth brother can go."
Eighth Master: “…”
Thank you, my good brother!
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Father Your Majesty, I think this matter needs further consideration."
"What are you planning?" Prince Zhi patted his chest and said, "I'll go, and I guarantee it will be foolproof."
Emperor Kangxi slammed the table in anger: "How outrageous!"
Prince Zhi raised his chin towards the Fourth Master and said, "I'm talking to you, Fourth Master!"
Emperor Kangxi slapped the Prince of Zhi on the back of his head and said, "I'm talking to you!"
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he pointed at the Prince of Zhi's nose and scolded him: "I haven't even asked about your brother's affairs yet, and all you think about is grabbing jobs. How could I have given birth to such a smart son like you? Huh?"
Prince Zhi rubbed the back of his head and said, "Father, what I said is from the bottom of my heart."
"Liver?"
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he laughed and suddenly stood up: "Where is my whip? I will beat you to the core today!"
Now, the surroundings became lively.
The prince handed the whip to Emperor Kangxi.
Mr. Ba intervened.
Wu Ye tried to mediate.
The third master added fuel to the fire.
There are also the ninth and tenth brothers who don't mind the trouble and just want to watch the fun.
The Fourth Master knelt on the spot, his eyes indifferent, as if the farce in front of him had nothing to do with him.
It's been a quarter of an hour and it's still not quiet.
The Fourth Master's brows knitted together: "Okay, I didn't kill the maid."
In one sentence, it was like dropping a silent bomb into the crowd.
Everyone, including Emperor Kangxi, turned their heads to look at the Fourth Master.
