Shun Anyan's back was soon beaten into a bloody mess by Tong Guowei.
During this time, Ye Keshu wanted to approach him to plead for mercy, but Tong Guowei turned his head and said angrily,
"If you don't want him to die, just stand there and watch!"
Ye Keshu didn't dare to move for a moment.
Tong Guowei felt that the time was right, so he threw the stick to the ground and said angrily,
"No matter how cowardly Hua Qi is, his last name is Aisin-Gioro, and his Mafa is Yue Le! Just because of Yue Le, no matter how bad he is, he can still be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. Do you still think he is a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated?"
"How did I raise a bunch of idiots like you?!"
If it weren't for Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's insistence, Yue Le would have been only one step away from that position.
This alone is enough to prove Yue Le's status in the hearts of all the royal family members!
Now someone has set his sights on Yue Le’s grandson. It would be strange if those people were happy about it!
Not to mention that the emperor is only Shun Anyan's cousin, even if he is Shun Anyan's biological father, Shun Anyan cannot plot against Hua Qi so blatantly, and use this matter as a topic of conversation, talking about it in front of outsiders!
Shun Anyan felt severe pain in his back and had no energy to listen to Tong Guowei's words. However, the hearts of the other descendants of the Tong family tightened when they heard his words.
They never realized the problem.
Tong Guowei took a breath.
"Come here, lift him up for me and take him to the palace to apologize!"
The housekeeper called a few servants and carried Shun Anyan out the door.
Before leaving, Tong Guowei hesitated for a moment, and then told Ye Keshu,
"You and Fucha go to the princess's mansion to beg Wen Xian. No matter what, Shun Anyan is the little princess's father. As long as you treat her well, she won't sit idly by."
"Okay, son, I'll go right away!"
Ye Keshu responded and hurried out.
Tong Guowei reminded again,
"Remember this, my lord, you must have a good attitude!"
"yes."
Ye Keshu didn't dare to refuse now.
The fact that Tong Guowei was so angry that he scolded them one by one was enough to prove that this matter was not a trivial matter.
When Tong Guowei brought Shun Anyan to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, everyone in the room looked at Shun Anyan who was carried in.
Oh, this is a self-torture trick...this old fox!
Everyone sneered in their hearts and turned their attention to Tong Guowei, who was looking angry.
"Your Majesty, I bow to you!"
Shun Anyan also struggled to get up from the stretcher, knelt beside Tong Guowei and kowtowed, saying weakly,
"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty."
Kangxi glanced at Shun Anyan's bloody back, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
"Get up..."
"I dare not!"
Tong Guowei's shoulders shook slightly, but his head remained on the ground.
"Don't dare? Forget it. Even the royal family dares to plot openly. Is there anything else that your Tong family dares not do?"
Prince Kang curled his lips and sneered bluntly.
His relationship with Marhun was average, but his status in the royal family was quite high. If Hua Qi was jealous of others, Prince Kang would not bother to care.
But now that Shun Anyan has come out and admitted that this was his plan, Prince Kang will not sit idly by.
"This slave has taught Sun Wufang nothing. I beg the emperor to punish me!"
"I acknowledge my guilt and beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Shun Anyan was in great pain all over his body. Hearing Prince Kang mocking him like this, he finally remembered the stupid thing he had done yesterday.
He vaguely remembered that he drank too much yesterday and boasted about something to his colleagues, and today he was dragged into the ancestral hall by Mafa.
He originally thought that his scheme against Hua Qi was a trivial matter. However, when he arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, in front of all the royal family members, Shun Anyan realized that not only was he not allowed to target the emperor's son, but even the surname "Aisin Gioro" was a forbidden zone that he could not touch.
Prince Kang curled his lips and gave Tong Guowei no face at all.
"Huh? You know your guilt? If you really knew your guilt, you wouldn't have used such a simple self-torture trick to show the emperor."
Anyway, he was a prince with an iron hat, and as long as he didn't make any serious mistakes, Kangxi couldn't do anything to them.
After Prince Kang jumped out, the rest of the royal family could no longer sit still.
"Exactly, who is this self-torture trick being performed for?"
"Prince An lost his life because of this incident. So what? Can this kid also give his life as compensation to Prince An?"
"I beg the Emperor to severely punish Shun Anyan. This incident was not Hua Qi's fault from the beginning to the end, but Hua Qi has been accused of a crime that has angered his father to death. Prince An's lineage has made outstanding contributions. The Emperor must not let this meritorious official feel disheartened!"
"Exactly, who knows if he will scheme against someone else in the future!"
No one wants his son to become the second Hua Qi.
"I beg the Emperor to severely punish Shun Anyan..."
"I beg the Emperor to severely punish Shun Anyan!"
More than a dozen members of the royal family spoke at the same time, all asking Kangxi to severely punish Shun Anyan. Tong Guowei couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
"Your Majesty, I failed in my teaching of Sun, and I am willing to take the blame on behalf of Shun Anyan. I beg Your Majesty to show me mercy. You also know... I am an old man, and I can't bear to see another young man die..."
Tong Guowei was almost in tears.
Kangxi felt quite unhappy when he heard this.
Ever since Longkodo passed away, the Tong family hasn't had a single outstanding member. There are those with bad tempers, those with poor abilities, and those who are as stupid as pigs...
He didn't want to comment on anything anymore.
But if we don't punish them, these royal relatives won't want to.
Kangxi frowned and looked embarrassed.
At this moment, the young eunuch at the door announced that Hua Qi's maternal grandmother had entered the palace.
Kangxi's scalp suddenly felt numb.
This old Lord Feng is also coming to join in the fun!
Upon hearing this, Tong Guowei knew that today's matter would not end peacefully. He suddenly felt a little regretful and wondered why he had not been more harsh just now.
Kangxi asked someone to invite Prince An's wife in. Everyone looked at her trembling and staggering with the help of crutches, and they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Having lost her husband in middle age and her son in old age, it's not easy for the old Lord to hold on...
The purpose of Prince An's wife entering the palace was naturally to seek justice for her children and grandchildren. Kangxi felt even more uncomfortable when he saw her trembling and staggering with the help of crutches.
Now that he was being held captive, even if he didn't want to, Shun Anyan had to be severely punished.
Kangxi looked at the people in the room waiting for his final decision, and finally demoted Shun Anyan to a commoner, forbidden him from being employed in his lifetime, and gave him thirty military sticks.
Tong Guowei and Ye Keshu were fined one year's salary each for their inability to educate their children.
This was the biggest concession Kangxi could make.
Prince Kang and Prince An's wife were not very willing, but they also knew that if they continued to put pressure on him, they would not get any better results, so they thanked him wisely.
When Shun Anyan heard that he "would never be hired again in this life", he was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that just plotting against Hua Qi, a hopeless person, would ruin his future!
