Mingzhu shook her sleeves and said, "Lord Tong is an important official in the court. If word gets out that he was treated like this during a hunting expedition, it will cause panic among the ministers. If the emperor doesn't investigate this matter and deal with it, how can the ministers let it go?"
Yinreng looked at Mingzhu, hesitant to speak.
If you knew it was the boss who hit him, you would regret saying this.
Kangxi spat out all the tea he had just drunk, looked at Yinreng in surprise, and then quickly lowered his head.
It almost got exposed.
Wait, was it the boss who did it?
It is understandable that Baocheng beat Tong Guowei.
Why did the boss take action?
When did Tong Guowei offend the boss?
"Father Emperor, what's wrong with you?"
Yinreng looked at Kangxi anxiously and rubbed his back, "Did your Majesty choke?"
Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Baocheng, don't worry."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Mingzhu, you go back first."
Mingzhu was unwilling to accept this. It was obvious that the emperor was trying to protect the prince.
What a good opportunity to strike a blow to the prince, he can't give up so easily.
"emperor……"
"go out!"
Mingzhu curled her lips, saluted and walked out.
Kangxi then turned to Yinreng and said, "Baocheng, you don't agree with me investigating this matter. Is it because you know who the murderer is?"
Yinreng was stunned.
[Could it be that the Emperor really doubts himself? ]
[Otherwise, why let Mingzhu leave? ]
There was a hint of complexity in Yinreng's eyes when he looked at Kangxi.
[Hasn't he done well enough? Does the Emperor still have to doubt him right away?]
Kangxi waved his hands hurriedly, then put them down again, adjusting his expression and saying, "I thought Bao Cheng was like this, could it be that the murderer is the boss?"
Yinreng's eyes suddenly widened.
【The Emperor actually guessed it! 】
Yinreng quickly adjusted his expression.
[Should I tell the truth to my father? ]
[After all, he beat up an important official of the dynasty.]
"Baocheng, you and the eldest are my most beloved children. Naturally, no outsider can compare to you."
Yinreng immediately told Kangxi what he and Yinzhi had overheard, and Kangxi was so angry that he slammed the table.
"The Tong family is really generous."
Seeing that Kangxi was furious, Yinreng hurriedly advised: "Father, just don't get angry with my elder brother. He may be impulsive, but he will definitely know when to act."
Kangxi subconsciously glanced at Liang Jiugong, who immediately said, "It is said that Master Tong is just... just a little sore all over."
Kangxi nodded. It seemed that Baoqing was only giving him a light punishment and a serious warning.
"I will handle this matter. From now on, I will tell you to behave yourself. If you need any dirty tricks, let Mingzhu do them. If you, a prince, do such things, what will you do if someone finds out?"
Yinreng nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Father Huang, I will definitely have a good talk with my elder brother."
Whether or not you can listen to it is uncertain.
Kangxi: ...
Let him talk to her himself when he gets a chance.
Mingzhu went straight to Tong Guowei's tent after leaving Kangxi's tent. She originally thought that the old man had just been beaten up, but when she went in, she found that his nose and face were swollen like a pig's head.
Mingzhu suppressed her laughter and asked, "How did Master Tong get beaten into this state?"
Tong Guowei glared at him and asked, "Master Mingzhu, are you here to see a joke?"
Mingzhu waved her hand hurriedly and then glanced at the servants. Seeing this, Tong Guowei asked everyone to leave.
"What's the matter, Master Mingzhu?"
Mingzhu sat down and said, "Master Tong was beaten here, which means the murderer must be one of the people who came to hunt together. Among these people, there are not many who have the courage and reason to take action. Why don't you carefully consider it, Master Tong?"
Tong Guowei had not thought about these things at first, but after hearing what Mingzhu said, he immediately set his sights on Yinreng.
But he also knew that Mingzhu was on the side of the eldest prince, and that she could not have said these things to him for his own good, but was most likely just watching the show.
But what about watching a show?
It would be enough if the murderer was really Yinreng.
Tong Guowei immediately stood up and said, "I want to ask the emperor for his opinion."
After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Mingzhu followed out with a smile.
As soon as he came out, he saw a sneaky figure looking towards him. He was about to call the guards when he found out that the man was Yinzhi. He immediately shut up and walked away.
Pulling him aside, he walked towards a deserted place, "Big Brother, why are you here in the middle of the night? What if you're considered a suspect?"
Yinzhi was puzzled, "What suspect?"
Mingzhu smiled and recounted the story of Tong Guowei being beaten. At the end, she added, "I suspect the Crown Prince most likely hired someone to do this, but the Emperor obviously figured it out, so he stopped the investigation."
Mingzhu became more and more proud as she spoke, completely unaware of Yinzhi's hesitation. She continued, "That's why I went to find Tong Guowei just now. With just a few pointers, he understood the situation and is now going to complain to the Emperor."
Yinzhi turned around and walked towards Kangxi's tent, but was pulled back by Mingzhu.
"Don't get involved in this. Although you have a good relationship with the Crown Prince now, it doesn't mean it will last forever. Even if you don't have any intention of fighting for the throne, you can't let the Crown Prince's path to the throne be too smooth, otherwise he won't care about you as a brother anymore."
Seeing that Mingzhu was late, Yinzhi pointed at himself and said, "Uncle, what do you think of my outfit today?"
Mingzhu looked over and frowned more and more. "What is that, Big Brother? It's pitch black."
Yinzhi grinned, "Night clothes."
Mingzhu was bewildered. "Why is Big Brother wearing night clothes? There are so many guards here. What if they mistake you for an assassin?"
Yinzhi chuckled, "Of course it's convenient for beating people up. If you wear fancy clothes, you'll be discovered right away."
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth with her hands. She pointed at Yinzhi and then at the direction of Kangxi's tent, lowering her voice and angrily saying, "Tong Guowei...it's you...it's you..."
Yinzhi chuckled, "That kid deserves a beating..."
Before he could finish his words, Mingzhu ran towards Kangxi's tent.
He was determined not to let Tong Guowei go to Kangxi to complain. If the matter was really investigated, there was no guarantee that it would be discovered that it was the eldest prince's doing.
How to deal with the aftermath then?
Oh my God, why beat him for no reason!
It must have been the prince who instigated this.
Mingzhu had never moved so fast before. When he saw Tong Guowei was only one meter away from Kangxi's tent, he hurriedly called out, "Master Tong, please stay."
Tong Guowei was just about to ask the guards to pass the message when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Mingzhu running towards him, panting.
"Master Mingzhu, is there something wrong?"
Mingzhu leaned on her legs with her hands and gasped for breath. After a long while, she finally pulled Tong Guowei to the side, panting with every step.
"I've just thought about it carefully, and I think it would be best if Master Tong didn't go to the Emperor to complain."
Tong Guowei raised his eyebrows.
"Why is that?"
