Chapter 224 Extra - Watching the Movie 15
"alright!"
Emperor Kangxi sternly stopped Yinzhi.
Noticing the unpleasant expressions on Yinzhen and Yinti's faces, Yinzhi ultimately decided not to continue.
Yinzhen's feelings were complicated. He knew that Lady Wuya was not a good person. But he didn't expect her to be so bold as to implicate the young crown prince. He could already tell that Lady Wuya's fate would not be good.
But wasn't all of this caused by her greed? If only she had known then what she knows now!
Yinzhen's mood was even more chaotic, compared to Yinzhen, who only felt difficult from Wuya. Before the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain, Yinzhen was truly the apple of Wuya's eye.
In his heart, Uya had always been a kind mother figure. Even though he had seen how she treated his fourth brother, how she acted, and how she ended up "killing her son" in the previous episodes, she still showed him favoritism.
Therefore, Yinzhen felt guilty towards Yinzhen and wanted to atone for his mother's sins. But he never imagined that in another world, his mother would harm her own son for the sake of vying for favor and for that vague desire, and even dared to implicate the Crown Prince.
This was a side of her that Yinzhen had never seen before... Well, it wasn't that he hadn't seen it before; in the previous Heavenly Curtain, she hadn't schemed against "Yongzheng" like this, manipulating "Yongzheng" at will.
But that was different. Yinzhen was young and couldn't explain why it was different, but he just felt something was wrong.
This time, he felt particularly distressed and confused.
Perhaps the difference between that "Yongzheng" and the Fourth Brother is too great to be compared, and this time and space is too real, too close to everyone's personality and life.
Even though Yinzhen told himself that it was another world, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether he knew too little about his mother. Had his mother really harmed his sixth brother?
Thinking of his mother filled him with guilt and unease, and he stood there, frozen in place. He could hear and see nothing but the images on the sky.
Only the warmth from his fourth brother's hand on his shoulder made him feel that he was still real.
Yinreng seemed stunned by the scene before him and quickly pulled back Yinzhi, who was about to step forward, asking, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Yinzhi was trembling with rage, "How dare she! This..."
(How dare you! How dare you!)
Before Yinzhi could utter his curse, Yinreng, who knew him well, covered his mouth and said, "Brother, watch your words!"
At this moment, Lady Wuya couldn't care less about anything else. She got up and continued to plead, "Please, Your Highness, everyone knows that you have always loved your younger brother the most. Please save Yinzhuo..."
(You are a Buddhist disciple! How can you not save Yinzhuo? And what about your good reputation? You must save Yinzhuo!)
"Keep an eye on the eldest prince and don't let him lay a hand on him!"
"Protect Cheng!"
(Don't fall for it!)
When stopped, Yinzhi looked at Yinreng with disapproval.
Noticing that Yinzhi was also present, Yinreng patted his head and comforted him, "Yinzhi, don't be afraid, take good care of your elder brother."
"Yinzhi will, Crown Prince..."
(I need to go find reinforcements!)
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Yinreng comforted Yinsi, then turned to look at Wuya, his face already cold: "Let's go see Sixth Brother."
Watching Yinreng and Wuya leave, Yinzhi looked utterly defeated.
"I'm going to find Father Emperor."
(It's all because of me. If I hadn't acted impulsively, Baocheng wouldn't have needed to go. I'm going to apologize to Father Emperor. No matter what the punishment, Baocheng must not be harmed!)
Watching Yinzhi rush towards the Qianqing Palace, Yinsi patted the little eunuch holding him: "Go to the Cining Palace to find Granny Wukuma."
(The Empress Ukuma is the most powerful woman in the harem; ask her to save your brother, the Crown Prince!)
After reading this passage, Yinzhi had mixed feelings. He never expected that the young crown prince would agree to Wuya's request because of him.
If he previously thought that he should just "kick" Wuya away like that, now he can't help but reflect on whether he was too impulsive.
If Mingzhu knew what he was thinking at that moment, he would probably be heartbroken and devastated. All his years of effort were not as effective as a little prince's moment, which made the eldest prince realize the truth faster.
Yinreng couldn't help but look at Yinsi with admiration. "Eighth Prince has always been clever since he was a child. I can give him more tasks to do in the future."
The scene shifts to Yuqing Palace, where Yinreng's personal eunuch, sensing the impending doom, rushes to report the news. At this moment, the three officials of the Eastern Palace—Elundai, Changtai, and Rongruo—are furious upon learning the news.
Orondai and Changtai rolled up their sleeves and were about to rush towards Yonghe Palace, but Rongruo stopped them.
"Calm down! What kind of foreign official rushes into the inner palace!"
(Think of a reason!)
Orondai didn't care at all: "I can't care about that anymore, the Crown Prince is the most important! At worst, let my father take the blame!"
(Isn't this the perfect time for Tong Guogang to step in? If not, there's always his second uncle. Could the Emperor really kill his own uncle?)
Chang Tai nodded in agreement.
(Could the emperor really kill his father-in-law or brother-in-law?)
These words persuaded even Rong Ruo.
(That's right, the Emperor chose us because of our elders, and we're exactly where we need him!)
"In that case, I will have the rank of guard. I will lead the patrol to Yonghe Palace. To prevent any accidents, Changtai, you go to see Minister Suo, and Orondai, you go to see the Emperor."
"Okay, let's do it that way!"
(That's right! No, when it comes to sophistry, no one can beat Suo'etu!)
"..." Silence is golden, silence is a virtue, and silence is the best state that Mingzhu, Suo'etu, and Tong Guowei can maintain at the moment.
As the elder who was used as a scapegoat at a critical moment, and Suo'etu, who was certified as the "number one person to argue unreasonably," none of the three knew what to say.
Mingzhu was a little better off, after all, Rongruo, his eldest son whom he was so proud of, had passed away. Seeing him appear on the sky now, Mingzhu felt more sadness and joy.
But Tong Guowei and Suo'etu were in a much worse situation. Sure enough, Tianmu would not let anyone off the hook.
Everyone who appears has a memorable moment. Suo'etu looked at Tong Guowei and said, "Right, Uncle who took the blame?"
Tong Guowei returned a faint, resentful look. Yes, let's learn from this unreasonable and argumentative man.
Nonsense! It's like some kind of intimate gathering!
Mingzhu silently took a step back, not wanting to disturb the two of them exchanging knowing glances.
The entire Forbidden City was abuzz with activity as several groups of people rushed toward Yonghe Palace from different directions. In the sky, flocks of crows, which had not been seen for a long time, swooped down, filling the air with a solemn atmosphere.
All progress was halted by the flock of crows surrounding Yonghe Palace. Just as Kangxi was about to force his way in, an exceptionally loud caw rang out.
The crows scattered, and Yinreng's figure appeared inside the palace gate. He stood upright, holding the unconscious little Yinzuo in his arms, and walked out step by step, steadily and confidently, his whole body seemingly radiating golden light.
Behind them, Uya looked disheveled and tried to get closer, but was blocked by crows.
Yinreng merely glanced at him indifferently: "Consort De, I am the Crown Prince."
