In the front yard, Fourteenth resisted several times, but after realizing that he was no match for Yinzhen in strength, he finally couldn't hold back the humiliation and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Yinzhen let go of him and stood up to drink some tea.
Fourteen just lay on the ground in an extremely indecent manner, crying loudly.
Yinzhen didn't say a word, but sat down and quietly admired Fourteenth's embarrassing appearance.
He wanted to see how long Fourteen could cry.
He is already a teenager and still doesn't know right from wrong and the order of seniority. Even if he breaks Fourteen's leg today, at most he will be labeled as cold-blooded and cruel.
But does he care?
He has no idea how many times he has carried this kind of reputation since he was a child.
Most of them came from Yonghe Palace, and the rest were mostly related to the Tong family.
It was obviously not his choice to be adopted by Tong'e'niang at birth, but everyone tacitly blamed him.
Tong's mother raised him with all her heart, but she only used her blood as an excuse to force him to do things he didn't want to do.
Yinzhen didn't want to admit that he was jealous of Fourteenth, but that was the fact.
He was not only jealous of Fourteenth, but also of his Sixth Brother who had passed away long ago.
Almost every brother has an elder to plan for them, except him.
If it weren't for his second brother's guidance, he might still be a marginal figure doing odd jobs in the Six Departments.
As Yinzhen thought about the past, his heart grew colder and harder.
After half a cup of tea, Fourteen could no longer cry.
This is not Yonghe Palace, no one will sympathize with him because of his tears.
Fourteenth got up from the ground, glared at Yinzhen resentfully, turned around and was about to leave the Prince's Mansion.
"stop!"
Fourteenth didn't even look back, and even ran faster. He was afraid that Yinzhen would find another excuse to beat him.
He wants to go back to the palace to file a complaint immediately!
"Stop him!"
At Yinzhen's command, the guards outside the door blocked Fourteenth's way in just a few steps.
Fourteenth broke his defense, turned around and yelled at Yinzhen fiercely,
"What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to teach you how to be an honest and dutiful prince!"
Fourteen retorted unconvincedly,
"What qualifications do you have to teach me? Tell them to get lost. I want to go back to the palace!"
"It seems that the lesson just now was too light!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Fourteen immediately shut his mouth wisely.
Yinzhen carried Fourteenth Prince by the scruff of his neck and walked all the way to the study. After closing the door, he rubbed his forehead as he looked at Fourteenth Prince, who still had a stubborn look on his face.
He had a good relationship with all his brothers, except for his younger brother, who was born to the same mother, and whom he could not impress no matter how much he gave in.
I'll teach him one more time this time. If he still doesn't change in the future, then he'll just pretend he doesn't have this younger brother.
"Since you have the same blood as me, I'm reminding you one last time: don't get involved in the affairs of the Imperial Household Department and the bannermen families!"
"Why? You're so cold-blooded and heartless, and you still want to drag me into this? Consider me blind today. From now on, you and I will never coexist!"
Even though he had just been beaten, Fourteenth Prince still had no fear of Yinzhen in his heart. He just felt aggrieved and unwilling to accept it, thinking that Yinzhen was only relying on his age to suppress him.
Yinzhen sneered,
"If you're as tough as you say, why don't you shout these harsh words out loud when you're out there?"
Fourteenth stiffened his neck and refused to pay attention to Yinzhen.
"You're jumping up and down to plead for the Wuya family, but have you ever seen anyone else like you?"
Yinzhen's tone finally softened. He knew that Fourteenth Prince was not stupid, but was just a little left-wing because of the influence of Concubine De. He might not listen to reason with him, but if he compared him with the other princes, he would listen to a few words.
"Big brother isn't in the capital, but the mothers of third, fifth, and eighth brothers all came from a family of bondservants. Why aren't they anxious, while you're the only one running around like a headless chicken?"
This was still harsh to his ears, and Shisi opened his mouth to refute, but Yinzhen did not give him a chance.
"Are you trying to say that they are as cold-blooded and heartless as I am?"
Fourteen glared at him with a swollen face. The meaning was very clear, just know it.
Yinzhen clenched his fists and his hands felt a little itchy again.
But he finally held back. The lesson he had just given was severe enough. If he did it again, this bastard would probably really hate him.
"Because they all know that the Emperor has no intention of killing. Just like your fourth sister-in-law said, if the Emperor wanted to kill people, those people in the cell would have died on the day the family was raided!"
According to Yinzhen's idea, the emperor should have wanted to kill a few people to vent his anger at first, but Maska died in prison first. The emperor probably felt guilty and thought of their old friendship, so the rest of them escaped.
If it weren't for Baoli, they might have just lost some money, and the big thing would have been reduced to a small thing, but now...
Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a little gloating.
"Except for you, they all know that the Emperor will not disregard our dignity because of this matter, so the most severe punishment is nothing more than the confiscation of all property. Their positions may not be affected in the end."
Fourteenth calmed down and tried his best to find loopholes in Yinzhen's splendor so as to refute him.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, he helplessly discovered that what Yinzhen said seemed to be true.
Apart from him, no prince had frequently gone to the Qianqing Palace to plead for mercy in the past month, and the eighth and ninth brothers seemed to be unaffected.
"De'er Niang has been with the Emperor for many years. I don't believe she can't see what the Emperor is thinking, but she still pretends to force you to beg for mercy. Can you guess why?"
Yinzhen threw down a question and did not urge Fourteenth, letting him stand there thinking. Seeing his face turn blue and red, and red and white, Yinzhen sighed in his heart, it's okay, not too slow.
Defei's target has always been him, but she wanted to use Fourteenth as a springboard to force him to express his support for the Uya family. If he remained indifferent from beginning to end, Fourteenth's performance during this period would be widely praised.
Even good mothers, sons and brothers will eventually become enemies.
After sending Fourteen away, Yinzhen returned to his study alone, found the tablets of Tong Jia and his successors from the secret compartment, and lit a stick of incense with sincerity.
Tong E'niang also had selfish motives.
But I have also planned for him sincerely.
Later, a second brother was born.
He is now married and has a son...
He should be content.
