After seeing Yinreng off, Kangxi and Mingxiu had the palace servants remove the food. Mingxiu sat inside the room, massaging Kangxi's back and applying medicine as he lay on the bed.
"I told you, you're not young anymore, why are you playing this game of cat and mouse with him? Now look what's happened, he's perfectly fine." Mingxiu looked at Kangxi lying on the bed, and said helplessly while rubbing Kangxi's back.
Kangxi glared at Mingxiu and said, "It's all because you gave the system to Yinreng when he was young. Look at how they're working together now. If it weren't for his desire to investigate this matter, I wouldn't have known that he didn't feel any pain when he was being disciplined as a child. The system was the one who shielded him. No wonder this brat is getting more and more mischievous as he grows up."
Mingxiu closed her mouth awkwardly. She hadn't expected that he and the system would get along so well now, and that the system had been helping him to take back the damage since he was very young.
But she still stubbornly insisted, "That was wrong of you to begin with. You should talk to the child properly and educate him. How could you just hit him like that? If you hadn't hit him, this wouldn't have happened."
"Hmph, you've spoiled him rotten. Sooner or later I'll have to teach this brat a lesson. He dared to run away today after I hit him," Kangxi said, looking at the doorway.
Mingxiu couldn't help but chuckle, a slight smile playing on her lips. Noticing Kangxi's glare, she quickly withdrew her smile. "Ahem, alright, let bygones be bygones. Besides, you've already hurt the child like this; if you hit him again, it'll only get worse. So you should just lie here and rest." Mingxiu said, rubbing Kangxi's back as she spoke.
"What, are you starting to dislike me? I was just careless and let that brat get away with it. I promise this won't happen again." Kangxi also felt that he had only been disciplining a child and had twisted his back. It was really embarrassing. He secretly resolved that he must exercise more in the future, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to discipline the child in the future.
"How could I dare, how could I dare, how could I possibly dislike Your Majesty? But Your Majesty should still take care of your health, after all, you are no longer a young man in your teens or twenties. We still have to accept reality." Mingxiu suppressed a smile and patted Kangxi's waist.
Satisfied to hear Kangxi let out a muffled groan, he laughed even more heartily.
Kangxi turned his head and squinted at Mingxiu. They were taking advantage of his injury to bully him now. He would deal with it after he recovered.
Mingxiu couldn't stop laughing. After leaving Yonghe Palace, she began to make arrangements. First, she returned to Yuqing Palace to see the Crown Princess, and then she led her people out of the palace.
Because of this matter, Kangxi assigned two secret guards to his command so they could carry out his orders.
Yinreng: I'm so happy, so happy, so happy! I haven't even started doing anything yet, and I already have two more capable people under my command. That's wonderful.
Yinreng didn't come out on his own; he brought the fourth prince with him. Yinzhen was working diligently in the Ministry of Revenue when he was suddenly brought out by the crown prince's brother, leaving him confused and unsure of what to do.
On the way, she looked at the scenery outside with great interest and asked Yinreng with some curiosity what had happened.
Yinreng glanced at it and then carefully recounted the whole story to him.
As Yinzhen listened, his eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe that such a thing could exist in the world.
Yinreng earnestly and patiently said from the side, "So you know how serious this matter is now, right? I brought you out this time to show you that you must bring someone with you when you are on official business in the future. You must never come out alone again, understand?"
Yinzhen blushed slightly and rubbed the corner of his clothes shyly, "I know, I will definitely not go out by myself again in the future, Second Brother Crown Prince, don't worry." He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just suddenly wanted to go out and play by himself that time.
Seeing his embarrassed but earnest expression, Yinreng knew that he truly knew he was wrong. He nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, you've done your job of educating your younger brother today."
It's not that Yinreng is making a fuss; it's just that Yinzhen can be incredibly reckless at times. Once Yinzhen and Yinzhi started running between the Imperial Study and the court, Kangxi stopped being so strict with them, so he could occasionally take them out of the palace for a stroll.
There had been no surprises until one time when the boy got impatient with someone following him, so he sent away the eunuchs and guards and secretly ran off to play.
When the eunuch beside Yinzhen returned and found that the person was missing, he was terrified and quickly told Yinreng. Yinreng was also startled and hurriedly told Kangxi, fearing that his younger brother might encounter something bad while he was out.
As soon as Yinzhen stepped out of the palace gate, someone informed Kangxi, so Kangxi sent people to protect him.
Yinzhen was gone for a short time before his entourage returned. Upon his return, he was severely punished by Kangxi. However, Yinreng felt that the boy did not genuinely believe he was wrong, so he decided to punish him further.
That's why we had to take him out of the palace on business today.
When Yinreng and Yinzhen arrived nearby, the guards who had been watching them quietly landed next to Yinreng's carriage: "Your Highness, the group of people who left are still resting inside and haven't come out yet. They said they would go out to find out what's going on after they've rested for a while."
Yinreng's voice came from inside the carriage: "Alright, I understand. You all continue to guard here."
After Yinreng finished speaking, he nodded slightly and then disappeared from the spot.
"Second Brother Crown Prince, what should we do now? Should we arrest them directly, or wait?" Yinzhen looked at Yinreng.
