Chapter 259 Provocation



After Kangxi learned that Yinzhi was unconscious in the suburbs and was sent back to the Prince's Mansion by Yinreng and Yinzhi, he began to have some doubts in his heart.

He first asked Liang Jiugong to take out a lot of supplements from his private storehouse and send them to Yinzhi. Then he called the guards who followed Yinreng that day to question him. However, the guards could only give a general account of what happened that day, and they knew nothing about the specific content of the conversation.

Kangxi's doubts grew a little more.

So he found the imperial physician who had taken Yinzhi's pulse and asked about Yinzhi's physical condition. He learned that he had fainted due to excessive emotional fluctuations.

Kangxi reviewed what had happened in the capital recently, but he didn't expect that anything would affect Yinzhi's mood.

So Kangxi decided to go to Yinzhi's house to see him.

At that time, Yinzhi was teaching Hongsheng boxing in the martial arts field of Beile Mansion.

When I heard that Kangxi was coming, I was surprised and felt a little inexplicable.

He knew that it was his rejection and resentment towards Kangxi.

But he no longer had the sharpness he had when he first entered the court. He suppressed those unnecessary emotions in his heart, put on a surprised smile, and rushed to the central hall with Hong Sheng, who was sweating profusely.

Yinzhi no longer cared about the inappropriate clothes on Hongsheng. While Kangxi still felt a little guilty about him, he had to let Hongsheng show up in front of Kangxi more often.

When he arrived at the place, Yinzhi saw Kangxi standing with his hands behind his back.

"My son pays homage to the Emperor..."

"Hong Sheng pays his respects to the Emperor Mafa, may the Emperor Mafa be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Hong Sheng's little baby voice rang out. Kangxi turned around and saw the two of them. He said with a smile on his face,

"Get up."

The two men stood up, and Kangxi sat down at the head. After seeing the sweat on Hongsheng's forehead, he asked with some doubt,

"Big Brother, what's this?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, I was just teaching Sheng'er boxing at the martial arts training ground. When the servants told me you were here, I brought him here to pay my respects."

Yinzhi's face showed a mixture of surprise and admiration, which Kangxi saw. He thought that he was anxious to see him, so he ignored the details.

"Are you personally teaching Hong Sheng now?"

Yinzhi nodded.

"Yes, he is now at the age where he should be taught. My son is recuperating at home, so I have the time to teach Sheng'er."

Yinzhi looked at his son, who was not even as tall as his waist, with his eyes full of love.

Kangxi suddenly realized,

"It's good that you can take Hong Sheng with you personally now, but the weather is cold now. You should change your clothes after you sweat."

Compared with the thin Yinzhi, Hongsheng looked much stronger. Kangxi also understood what Hongsheng meant to Yinzhi and sighed slightly in his heart.

If it weren't for that incident back then, Yinzhi might have had several children. But now he only has this one, so it's only right that he favors her more.

"yes."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhi asked the servants to take Hongsheng out.

Seeing Hongsheng formally paying his respects to him and Yinzhi before following the servants out of the central hall, Kangxi felt a little emotional.

"This child looks a bit like you when you were a child."

In fact, when Yinzhi was young, he was protected by Rong Fei like the apple of his eye. At that time, his heart and eyes were full of Yinreng, and he didn't pay much attention to other children. When he occasionally saw Yinzhi, he just felt that he was a little gentle and not as domineering as the eldest brother and Yinreng.

The smile on Yinzhi's face became more genuine, but he didn't say anything.

Kangxi then asked about the reason for his coma.

"I heard you were in a coma outside the city last month? What happened?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Yinzhi's face faded a little.

There was even a hint of loneliness when he lowered his eyelids, but after struggling for a moment, it turned into trust and admiration.

"My son encountered some difficult things at that time, but now he has figured it out..."

Kangxi did not miss Yinzhi's change of mood and raised his eyebrows.

"I remember that before the autumn hunt, your body wasn't so fragile that you could faint after encountering anything. What on earth could possibly have such great power?"

Seeing Kangxi pressing forward, Yinzhi's mind raced, and he quickly considered the pros and cons. Finally, he made up his mind and knelt on the ground.

"Father Emperor, there is a villain trying to sow discord between us father and son!"

As soon as these words came out, Kangxi's anger suddenly rose.

"What did you say?!"

When Yinzhi was unconscious, only the eldest brother and the prince were present. Could it be that the two of them were the ones who sowed discord between the third brother and him?

Kangxi's brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Since Yinzhi had already said it, there was no need to hide it any longer.

He knew that since Kangxi came to see him, it meant that he had already asked about what happened that day and did not get what he wanted to know.

So he embellished the situation that day and said that he accidentally heard some rumors from his eldest brother.

The content of the rumor was that he was hunted down that year because it was a trap designed by the emperor himself.

Yinzhi even hinted that he was deliberately lured into eavesdropping on the conversation between Yinzhi and Yinreng, with the intention of letting him know the so-called "truth" so that he could resent and guard against Kangxi as they wished.

He never mentioned Longkodo's name once throughout the whole process.

But Yinzhi knew that as the investigator of the major case that year, Longkodo was one of the few people who knew about it. The more he pointed the finger at his eldest and second brothers, the more likely Kangxi would remove them from the matter.

The more Kangxi listened, the angrier he became.

So that’s how it is!

Seeing Yinzhi repeatedly saying that he believed in the Emperor, Kangxi felt guilty and remorseful in his heart, but soon turned into uncontrollable anger.

Yinzhi saw that Kangxi's anger was on the verge of exploding, but he pretended not to notice it. Instead, he repeatedly asked Kangxi to severely punish those who spread the rumors, including Yinzhi and Yinreng.

Kangxi responded perfunctorily and left the Prince's Mansion in a hurry.

Yinzhi earnestly sent Kangxi to the carriage, and stood there watching the carriage go away. The darkness in his eyes gradually appeared.

Longkodo was just a scapegoat. The one who really made the decision was his good father, the emperor. But for Hongsheng, he could only live in disgrace for the time being.

When Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he immediately summoned the secret guards and asked them to investigate whether the rumors told by Yinzhi were true.

If it is true, find out the source of the rumor as soon as possible.

Another group of people were sent to keep an eye on Longkodo and Yinzhi.

Yinreng was surrounded by his people, and if he heard those rumors, he would not be able to hide them from him. So on the day when Yinzhi fell into a coma, it must have been Yinzhi who heard some rumors and went to Yinreng to verify them, which led to Yinzhi "accidentally" overhearing them.

Or maybe...

The boss's original intention was to let Yinzhi hear that Yinreng was just a stepping stone for him to achieve his goal.

After arranging everything, Kangxi calmed down and carefully recalled all the details of his conversation with Yinzhi today.
