Yinreng's hand trembled and his face suddenly darkened.
"You are talking nonsense, He Yuzhu, send this servant to the Ministry of Punishment."
Yinreng was angry. He Yuzhu subconsciously glanced at Kangxi's expression and found that the other party was silent, so he could only bite the bullet and pull Fuyun.
Kangxi glanced at Concubine Jin and said, "You have done a good job on this matter. Go back first."
Concubine Jin didn't dare to say much. She bowed and left.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was silent for a long time before asking, "Baocheng, don't you believe what that palace maid said?"
Yinreng was furious.
"Should the Emperor believe what that maid said?"
Kangxi was speechless.
In fact, he didn't believe it, mainly because Concubine Hui didn't have the brains for it and there was no need for it.
But the little palace maid insisted that it was Concubine Hui, so he had to think more about it.
After all, Baoqing is the eldest prince, and is now considered outstanding among his brothers. It seems understandable if she has some inappropriate thoughts.
[It seems that the Emperor is suspicious of Empress Hui, but this could never have been Empress Hui's doing. In my previous life, I was cornered by my brothers, but Empress Hui didn't even attack me. In this life, I have such a good relationship with my eldest brother, how could she possibly stab me in the back?]
Kangxi remained silent.
Seeing Kangxi's attitude, Yinreng softened for a moment before saying, "Father, I know you don't really distrust Empress Hui, but this matter involves me, so naturally you have to be suspicious just to be on the safe side."
Kangxi was touched by what he said and pursed his lips as he looked at his beloved son.
"Father Emperor, since the palace maids have been taken away for questioning, let us all wait for the results. In the meantime, you cannot directly punish Empress Hui."
Kangxi nodded reluctantly.
In fact, he really wanted to call Concubine Hui over to ask her something.
You will know whether she did it or not by asking her.
But he also knew that once he asked this question, whether he answered yes or no would hurt feelings, so he decided to just listen to Baocheng.
Fortunately, the matter did not last too long and the result came out early the next morning.
Not long after Kangxi left court, people from the Ministry of Punishment delivered the confession.
Fuyun confessed everything. It was not Concubine Hui, but Tong Jia.
Yinreng was not too surprised when he saw the answer, but Kangxi fell silent after a moment of surprise.
"Father, I know how important the Tong family is to you, so I will not interfere with how you deal with the Imperial Concubine this time."
After saying that, Yinreng jumped down from his chair and said, "Big brother, it's rare for you to have a rest. I'm going to go play with you."
After saying that, he took He Yuzhu away.
[The Emperor has been very kind to me. To support me, he repeatedly humiliated the Tong family. Although I feel resentful, it's not easy for the Emperor either.]
Kangxi was deeply distressed after hearing Dabaobei's heartfelt words. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go to Chengqian Palace and announce the decree..."
Inside Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Hui didn't know that she was almost harmed. She was discussing with Ruixue how to celebrate Kangxi's birthday this year. When she saw Yinreng coming, she naturally went forward happily to greet him.
"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here suddenly? Are you here to see the eldest prince?"
After saying that, he glanced at Ruixue, who immediately ran out to look for Yinzhen.
After Yinreng and Concubine Hui sat down, he said, "I have come here to talk to Concubine Hui about something."
Concubine Hui had never seen Yinreng so serious. She was stunned at first, and then she became serious.
"Your Highness, please speak."
Yinreng glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "He Yuzhu, take the palace maid away."
This is Chuxiu Palace. If anyone wants to evacuate, it should be Concubine Hui who gives the order.
But at this moment, Concubine Hui knew that the matter must be serious when she saw his appearance. She nodded to the palace servants, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Yinreng then told Concubine Hui what Tong Jia had done, and she was so angry that she jumped to her feet.
"She's gone too far. Ever since she entered the palace, she's been relying on her family background to show off her power. Now, after being punished several times, she still hasn't learned her lesson and is even trying to frame me."
Concubine Hui was really furious.
It would be fine if this matter was investigated thoroughly. If it wasn't, then it wouldn't be a big deal for her to take the blame, but how would the eldest prince get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future?
The more Hui Fei thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up and was about to cause trouble for Tong Jia, but was stopped by Yinreng.
"Don't be angry, Empress Hui. The truth has been revealed. Let's wait and see what the Emperor decides."
Hearing this, Concubine Hui sighed silently, and after sitting down, she said, "What can the emperor do? Tong Jia has been courting death more than once since entering the palace. Just one of her misdeeds is enough to have her entire family exterminated, but isn't she still the Imperial Concubine?"
Concubine Hui looked at Yinreng with some reluctance, "Empress Hui is not trying to sow discord, but the Crown Prince's mother passed away long ago. It would be difficult for you to fight against the Tong family alone. You should also take advantage of the Emperor's current favor and cultivate your own team as soon as possible. This is the most important thing."
Yinreng was truly touched. "Thank you, Empress Hui, for your concern. No matter what happens to me in the future, I will never treat my elder brother unfairly."
Just as Empress Hui was about to express her gratitude, Yinzhen's voice came from outside.
"Hey, why are you all standing outside in this cold weather?"
Then He Yuzhu's voice came over, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking to Concubine Hui, we are all waiting outside."
"Oh, what are Baocheng and my mother talking about in private? I have to go and listen."
Concubine Hui closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Yinzhen running in.
"Mother, what were you and Baocheng talking about secretly?"
Concubine Hui tried to endure it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him.
"Everyone knows it's a whisper, why are you still yelling? Are you afraid that others won't know?"
Yinzhen grinned and smiled awkwardly.
"Son didn't mean it..."
After saying that, he sat down next to Yinreng and nudged Yinreng's arm with his elbow. "What are you talking about?"
Yinreng knew Yinzhi's mind, so he naturally would not tell him the truth of the matter, so as not to cause any more trouble.
"Your birthday is coming soon. I am discussing with Empress Hui how to celebrate your birthday."
Yinzhen's eyes widened in surprise, "You are too nice to me."
After saying that, he hugged Yinreng, patted his back and said righteously: "Good Baocheng, you are so attentive to me, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Concubine Hui was waiting for her son to express his gratitude to her and was prepared to despise him, but after letting go of Yinreng, he sat down directly. Concubine Hui was so angry that she got up and left.
"Since Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, please have your meal here. I will go to the kitchenette to make some arrangements."
I really don't want to bother with that awful thing.
Seeing Concubine Hui, Yinzhi's face suddenly darkened. He looked at Yinreng seriously and said, "Tell me, what are Baocheng and my mother discussing? It's definitely not about my birthday. Don't think I'm stupid and easy to fool."
