Tong Jia knelt on the ground and subconsciously touched her knees, cursing Longkodo in her heart for causing trouble.
But now that things have come to this, she can only look at Kangxi pitifully and pray in her heart that Kangxi will show mercy to her.
But the opposite happened.
"The Imperial Concubine has failed to control her family. Starting tomorrow, go to the Dharma Flower Hall and pray for Empress Yuan for two hours every day until the Empress's memorial day."
Tong Jia was completely desperate.
When will this unlucky day end?
"I thank the Emperor for his grace."
Even if you are punished, you still have to thank God.
After this farce ended, Kangxi no longer had the heart to hold a banquet, and he waved his hand to let everyone go.
He and Yinreng personally escorted Empress Xiaozhuang back to Cining Palace. Concubine Hui had been sent back to Chuxiu Palace by Ruixue earlier. When she didn't see Yinzhen at this time, she thought that the boy had gone to Qianqing Palace to stay up all night again, so she didn't care.
Who would have thought that just as I was about to take a rest after changing clothes, I saw Ruixue almost running in, her face pale.
"Something happened to the Queen, Big Brother..."
Concubine Hui sat up suddenly. "What happened to Baoqing? What happened to Baoqing?"
Ruixue swallowed, "Just now, after the palace banquet ended, the eldest prince did not follow the emperor and the prince to the Ganqing Palace, but went... to watch Longkodo's execution."
Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but then turned furious and scolded, "You little bastard, you don't know how to save your energy. You didn't come home to sleep during the New Year's Day, afraid to watch the execution. How unlucky!"
Ruixue saw that Concubine Hui had finished venting her anger, and then continued, "The eldest prince is not just watching from the sidelines..."
Concubine Hui widened her eyes. How could there be a sequel?
"You silly girl, just speak properly and don't be so hesitant. What on earth did Baoqing do?"
Ruixue recalled what she had heard and felt helpless and scared.
"Every time the guards finished beating him with a stick, the eldest prince would pour a basin of salt water on Longkodo's buttocks... I heard that Longkodo screamed in agony, and his buttocks... were rotten..."
Concubine Hui rolled her eyes and fainted from anger.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
While Kangxi poured tea for Yinreng to calm him down, he carefully observed his expression.
Good boy, the kid was so angry that his face turned blue.
Damn Longkodo, I must find an opportunity to deal with him.
"Baocheng is no longer angry. The Emperor has already severely punished that bastard. When he arrives at the Imperial Mausoleum, he will suffer a lot."
Yinreng said nothing.
"Longkodo, that bastard, I'll have to find a way to kill him sooner or later, to prevent him from stirring up trouble when the other brothers grow up."
When Kangxi heard this, he began to think about it.
Longkodo looks like an unruly person now, but listening to what his beloved son said, this kid is likely to be a troublemaker in the future.
Looking at it this way...is there any need for him to live into the future?
When the father and son were studying Longkodo's lifespan, Liang Jiugong came crawling in.
"Your Majesty...something happened with Longkodo."
Yinreng glanced over coldly, "Beat him to death?"
Kangxi: (⊙o⊙)…
Liang Jiugong swallowed his saliva and said, "He's not dead."
Yinreng turned his head away and ignored him.
Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi aggrievedly.
"Tell me what's going on, and stop keeping me in suspense."
Kangxi was also a little angry.
"It's the eldest prince..."
Liang Jiugong told Kangxi what had happened, and he was completely shocked.
Yinreng's little face changed from initial anger to surprise, and finally to being moved.
[He is indeed my elder brother. Just because he avenged me today, I will protect him in the future.]
Kangxi: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
"Bastard! He..."
Kangxi was furious.
No matter how Kangxi punished Longkodo, the Tong family had to endure it and express their gratitude.
But Baoqing poured salt water on the other person's wound, which clearly made him an enemy of the Tong family.
If this kid wants to go to the battlefield in the future, he will definitely be killed by the Tong family's sneak attack from behind.
Oh my God, someone come and save him.
"Father, I want to go check on my eldest brother. He must be terrified."
Yinreng was already dressed, his little face full of excitement.
Seeing this, Kangxi had no choice but to carry Yinreng straight to the place of execution.
It was late at night and although the snow on the road had been cleared, it was still cold.
When the father and son arrived at the place, both of their faces were red from the cold.
I saw Yinzhen sitting aside with a small stool, Li Zhong holding a basin in his hand, and two other eunuchs, one responsible for pouring water and the other responsible for pouring salt, working in perfect harmony.
The sound of a board falling could be heard from afar, followed by Yinzhen's childish yet resolute voice, "Splash."
"Crash"
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
Kangxi closed his eyes subconsciously.
[As expected of a general, you are so impressive even at such a young age.]
Kangxi no longer wanted to complain about his son's choice of words, so he quickened his pace and walked over, "Stop!"
The guard who had just raised the board to hit him knelt down immediately when he saw the person coming. Seeing this, Yinzhi did not look panicked at all. Instead, he ran over happily and looked at Yinreng with his head raised.
"Baocheng, big brother is here to avenge you."
Baocheng smiled widely, "Big brother is the best."
Kangxi: That’s terrible.
"How many spankings have you received?"
The guard replied, "Thirty strokes of the cane."
Kangxi looked at the almost rotten buttocks from a distance and felt it was a bit painful. "Take it away for treatment first, and then send it to guard the imperial mausoleum."
"As you wish."
The guards carried Longkodo, who was obviously relieved, away.
