Longkodo's mind had been confused for a long time, and now he was provoked by Yinzhen, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart surged up again.
"Don't think I'm stupid. You're clearly outnumbering the weak. If you have the guts, wait until I recover and fight me one-on-one."
Yinzhen kicked him in the face and cursed, "Who do you think you are? You dare to say 'myself' in front of me and want to fight me one-on-one? Do you deserve it? So what if you know I'm bullying you now? When you were bullying people in the capital, did you ever think you would end up like this?"
Longkodo was burning with rage, and he found strength from nowhere to knock Yinzhen over, turned around and kicked him hard in the chest.
Before Yinzhen could react, he started hitting him in the face.
After Yinreng and others reacted, they rushed forward directly. Seeing this, a group of young soldiers who had just finished fighting rushed forward like crazy, surrounded Longkodo and beat him without stopping.
Yinreng didn't care whether those people would beat Longkodo to death, and hurried forward to check Yinzhi's injuries. He saw that his face was bruised, the corners of his mouth were broken, and there were bruises at the corners of his eyes.
Yinreng had never been so angry before. He ignored He Yuzhu's dissuasion, pushed through the crowd and rushed in to beat the dying Longkodo again.
Seeing that Longkodo was breathing more than breathing in, He Yuzhu, Li Zhong and Yinzhen worked together to carry Yinreng far away.
"My Lord, please calm down. You must not get angry."
He Yuzhu was frightened when he saw his master's face flushed, even his eyes were red.
Yinzhi had not expected Yinreng to be so out of control. Seeing him like this, he was naturally very angry and hugged him to comfort him.
"Baocheng, don't be angry. Just hand that bastard over to the emperor to deal with. He dared to hit the prince. He really doesn't want to live anymore."
The officials and managers in the imperial mausoleum were so frightened by the chaotic scene that they collapsed on the ground. It was over, they were definitely finished.
"Where's Aljishan? Tell him to reorganize his troops and return to the capital quickly."
Yinreng was furious and he wanted to rush back to the palace to complain to Kangxi today.
It just so happened that Aljishan went to patrol the nearby garrison today and was not at the scene. Now he was quickly called back by He Yuzhu and his men and looked confused.
Seeing the chaotic scene and the injuries on Yinzhen's face, he was also shocked.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will immediately organize the troops and return to the palace." After saying this, he glanced at the half-dead Longkodo, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I think Longkodo will die of illness on the way. If that happens, you and your eldest prince will be in trouble. It is better to let the imperial physician keep him alive. As long as he can live to see the emperor, he will not be able to escape the blame for beating the prince."
At this time, Yinreng had regained some of his sanity and nodded in agreement.
Aljishan then began to arrange for the imperial physician to treat Longkodo, and at the same time he was speechless when he saw the young soldiers who were injured and covered in dust.
On the way back, everyone sped up.
Longkodo was placed in a carriage, which ran wildly along the way, shaking him so much that his internal organs almost jumped out.
But no one paid attention to his thoughts. As long as he was still breathing and could see Kangxi alive, that was enough.
So, after a group of people returned to the palace in a mighty procession, the entire palace was in an uproar.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out for a while and came back with a grim face. The eldest prince had a bruised face and nose, obviously he had been beaten.
Those pampered young masters all looked dusty and dirty, as if they had just been in a fight.
For a time, it was rumored in the harem that there was a discord between the eldest prince and the crown prince. They had a fight as soon as they went out, and neither of them gained the upper hand.
Concubine Hui was so frightened after hearing the news that she almost fainted again. She hurried towards the Qianqing Palace with Ruixue.
At this time, in the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi looked at the princes and the others with a grim face, and the blood in his body rushed to his forehead.
"Longkodo actually dared to beat my brother. He is truly lawless."
Kangxi was furious.
"Come here, take Long Keduo out and execute him immediately."
Kangxi no longer had the heart to be tolerant this time. He had already given the Tong family too many chances.
Even if Longkodo was just provoking, he could still give the Tong family some face, but beating the prince in public, what kind of crime is this!
This is contempt for the royal family!
"Your Majesty is unfair! It was the Crown Prince who first ordered the beating of this servant, and the eldest prince then provoked this servant..."
"Shut up! Don't you even know who you are? You actually said I was provoking you!"
Whenever Yinzhen spoke, the corners of his mouth hurt, and the pain made him even angrier.
Kangxi glared at Yinzhen, but when he saw his behavior, he still felt a little distressed.
"Aljishan, I ordered you to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince throughout this incident, but you were not there when it happened. This is simply dereliction of duty. I will demote you one level and fine you one year's salary."
Kangxi looked at the group of dusty young men again and couldn't open his mouth for a long time.
After a long pause, he said, "Liang Jiugong, find out which family these children belong to. The elders will fine them half a year's salary."
Finally, he looked at the angry Yinreng and said after a long pause, "Prince, this worship service has been really hard for you. Rest for three days before going to the study."
Everyone: ...
"Liang Jiugong, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you drag Long Keduo out?"
Liang Jiugong shuddered, "I obey your order."
In Chengqian Palace, Shushu recounted how Yinreng returned to the palace with a dark face and Yinzhi with a bruised face.
"Your Majesty, I suspect that there must have been an argument between the Crown Prince and the eldest prince, and perhaps even a fight."
Tong Jia was delighted when she heard this. "Humph, neither of them is a good person. They usually pretend to be brothers, but now they are fighting."
"Yes. The Emperor usually favors His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This time, I'm afraid he will scold the eldest prince for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that Concubine Hui has already gone to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to plead for mercy."
"A Nalan family member is now worthy of a high position in the harem. He is even half a level higher than me by virtue of his title. If the eldest prince is found guilty of assaulting the crown prince, I think Concubine Hui will not be well off either."
Tong Jia stood up excitedly and said, "Let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. No matter what, we can't let Concubine Hui save the eldest prince. The emperor must skin the Nalan family alive. Let's see if she dares to show off in front of me again."
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is the crown prince after all. Even if he really hit the crown prince, I'm afraid he can't be punished too severely, and it's not even likely to implicate Concubine Hui. But the Grand Empress Dowager has always been partial to the crown prince. If the Grand Empress Dowager knew about this... Concubine Hui's position would definitely be in jeopardy."
Tong Jia's eyes lit up. "You're right. Send someone to inform the Grand Empress Dowager immediately. We'll go and hold the Emperor back first. Once the Grand Empress Dowager gets the news, she'll definitely not spare Concubine Hui."
Shushu hurriedly followed, "As long as Concubine Hui is unlucky this time, the power to manage the harem will naturally return to your hands."
Tong Jia's face showed an expression of victory in sight, and she sat in the sedan chair and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.
