It was Fifth Prince who first noticed that Prince Zhi, or rather, Prince Zhi, was in a bad state. Seeing Yinti fall straight backward, he was also the first to speak up. Although Third Brother was right in front of him, it was he and Fourth Brother who rushed forward first.
But when the princes heard the commotion, they all gathered around, so Fifth Prince couldn't go to see Third Brother and could only suppress his curiosity.
The Third Prince was probably the most unwilling of all the princes, and after hearing his father's explanation, he felt even more wronged.
What does that mean? The Emperor's statement only acknowledges that Yinti plotted to assassinate Yinreng, but what about the others? Is the Changchun Garden incident going to be pinned on the Eighth and Ninth Princes? Do those two have that kind of guts?
In Third Prince's mind now, it was Yinti who plotted the assassination of the Emperor at Changchun Garden. When the plot was exposed, he found someone to take the blame, and he was that person.
Thinking of the grievances he had suffered in the past few months, the Third Prince was filled with anger again, but he did not dare to question his furious father, the Emperor, at this moment. He was not that foolish.
However, he had no intention of helping Yinti up.
Then there were the most enthusiastic eighth and ninth princes. Did they not know that those two were hoping that their father would punish Yinqi so that he would forget about them?
Third Master snorted inwardly, thinking, "None of them will escape."
Especially that glib-tongued eighth brother, he should be the one most severely punished and confined to his quarters, and in the end, their titles should also be demoted.
Yes, now that Yinti has been demoted to Beile and Yinreng has been deposed and has no title, the most coveted title among all the princes is that of a Junwang (郡王).
The Third Master felt a little better, and then slowly stepped forward to pretend to care about Yinti.
Little did they know that all of this had fallen into the eyes of His Majesty, who was at the very top. The princes' little expressions could not escape his notice. He watched quietly for a while, then waved his hand to signal Liang Jiugong to have Yinti carried back.
He had already warned and warned Yinti long ago. When Yinti was discovered to be raising a private army, he deliberately warned him. If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. Just like the Changchun Garden incident, although he initially wronged the third prince, didn't he still find out the truth now?
If you can't handle the aftermath perfectly, then there are some things you shouldn't even think about getting involved in.
Trying to do something you're not qualified for is suicidal.
After all, he was his own son. Although the Emperor was initially furious that Yinti harbored malicious intentions, Yinti's actions were too naive, and in the end, the Emperor softened his heart when it came to dealing with Yinti.
In his view, Yinqi failed because he was too arrogant and too eager to show off his talents.
His mistakes were different from those of Yinreng.
Seeing that he couldn't get a word in edgewise, Third Master decided to look for another opportunity.
Sure enough, he quickly noticed the blood seeping from the wound on Fourth Master's shoulder due to its reopening.
As if he had seized an opportunity, he immediately started shouting loudly, as if he cared deeply about Fourth Master.
"Hey fourth brother, what happened to that blood on your shoulder? Did your wound reopen? Quick, let third brother help you..."
Fourth Master's injury is on his left shoulder. It's amazing that Third Master, with his excellent eyesight, could see it from so far away. Also, Third Master's act wasn't very convincing. Although Fourth Master's injury is clearly on his left shoulder, when he came closer, he didn't think twice and conveniently chose to support him on his right shoulder, which was closer to him.
Fourth Master didn't expose it, saying it was no big deal.
But the Third Master's shout still attracted the Emperor's attention, and his gaze immediately fell on the two of them.
Yinti had already been helped out, and the princes obediently knelt back down, making the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince the center of attention.
His Majesty seemed to cough lightly once, and the sound of that cough sent chills down the Third Master's spine, as if he were awaiting some kind of judgment.
"Don't let the fourth prince's old wounds heal before he gets new ones. Liang Jiugong, help the fourth prince down and then ask the imperial physician to examine him." The emperor's voice was slightly gentler, but it also carried a hint of weariness.
Fourth Master: ? ? ?
The Fourth Prince cursed the Third Prince in his heart without expression. His injuries were actually nothing serious, just a bit scary to look at. At the moment, the Fourth Prince would rather stay in the warm pavilion to watch the Eighth Prince make a fool of himself, and at the same time hear the Emperor's attitude.
But now that the Emperor has spoken, it's naturally not the Fourth Prince's turn to stay.
The Third Prince pretended to help the Fourth Prince out, but the Fourth Prince lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "Brother, go by yourself. Third Brother, stay here. Father Emperor can't be without someone by his side."
He didn't want to see Third Master at all right now.
Third Master weighed the options in his mind for a moment, and finally decided to stay. Indeed, he was waiting to see the show.
The Fourth Prince was helped out by Feng Zhong. The wound on his shoulder was caused by accidentally aggravating it when he went to help Yinti. He and Yinti naturally did not have any close relationship, but he knew that his father valued brotherhood, so he deliberately chose to help Yinti after he fell down, despite his injury.
He remained silent, not wanting anyone to notice his wound.
The Fourth Prince inwardly mocked his own hypocrisy. As soon as he came out of the warm pavilion, Su Peisheng stepped forward to support him. He didn't ask anything. Yinti was helped out, lying sideways. However, Su Peisheng thought he was just unconscious.
However, judging from Liang Jiugong's indifferent attitude, it was clear that what awaited Yinti was not a good thing.
The Fourth Prince was actually in pretty good spirits. After being helped to the side hall, the imperial physician didn't arrive for a while. Su Peisheng carefully undressed the Fourth Prince to avoid touching his wounds again.
However, Su Peisheng also had something to report at this moment.
Fu Lu was guarding outside when Su Peisheng whispered, "Fu Lu went back to the manor today and said that the people he had arranged in the main courtyard discovered something..."
Because the wife's illness came on suddenly, the Fourth Prince had already arranged for people to keep an eye on her main courtyard, but nothing unusual had been found in the past six months.
The Fourth Prince's eyebrows twitched slightly, whether from the pain of his wound or from Su Peisheng's words, it was unclear.
"explain."
Su Peisheng dared not delay: "They said they discovered something amiss with Miss Xianxin."
Fourth Master frowned even more deeply: "Who is that?" Fourth Master had no recollection of such a person at all.
Su Peisheng paused for a second: "Miss Xianxin is the Fujin's cousin. The Fujin's family knew that the Fujin had been unwell recently, so they sent Miss Xianxin to visit her."
The Fourth Master was annoyed by what he heard, and his face darkened: "No manners."
Su Peisheng silently lowered his head.
After a few seconds, Fourth Master spoke again: "What did you discover?"
"It seems that Miss Xianxin took something with her when she came out of the main courtyard today. Since she is a member of the Fujin's family, it was not convenient to search her. However, this servant has already taken the liberty of having someone keep an eye on her. But now she has returned to the Ulanara family residence..."
Fourth Master tapped the table: "Arrange for someone to keep an eye on her, and report back immediately if anything happens."
