Seeing that neither of them would respond no matter what he said, Yin Tang said, "Mother, it was Eighth Brother who said that. Eighth Brother said that he was not doing well and that the Imperial Noble Consort was unfair, so I did what I did. Mother, please forgive me. Mother, I was wrong."
At this time, Yinzhen spoke whatever came to mind, only wanting to stop being beaten and suffering pain.
When Consort Yi and Emperor Kangxi heard this, they realized something was wrong, especially Consort Yi, who realized that her son had done this at the instigation of the Eighth Prince.
Consort Yi immediately pleaded with Emperor Kangxi and the Imperial Noble Consort, "Your Majesty, Imperial Noble Consort, you have heard it too. It was not Yinzhen who did this. He was instigated by the Eighth Prince. Please spare Yinzhen."
Kangxi wanted to say something, but Wanwan pretended not to hear him. "That's not what you said when you were instigating me."
Wanwan's grip was still quite strong.
"Smack..."
"Smack..."
"Smack..."
When both of Yinzhen's hands were red and swollen, Wanwan put down the bloodstained ruler. She wondered if there was any of Yinzhen's blood on it. Probably not, since it's not easy for the palms of one's hands to bleed.
Wanwan said, "Alright, both of them have been punished. Let's leave it at that. No one is allowed to mention it again in the future."
Wanwan guessed correctly; the Eighth Prince did indeed instigate this matter. Historically, he was a shrewd, hypocritical man who was so unaware that you were deceiving him that you were still helping him count the money.
Otherwise, how could a child born to a low-ranking concubine have the obedience of the sons of the then-favored concubines, Consort Yi, Consort Gui, and Consort Wenxi?
When Kangxi heard what Yinzhen said, he didn't think that Yinzhen was talking nonsense. After all, he was already in so much pain that he naturally said whatever came to mind.
Originally, the Eighth Prince's birth was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, because he was born through a scheme orchestrated by his mother.
Therefore, in Kangxi's view, the Eighth Prince was a product of his own schemes and was never liked by him.
As for Yinzhen, it was impossible for him to ask Wanwan to punish the Eighth Prince; he only said that one sentence.
But all the work was done by the Ninth Prince.
However, we still need to ask him specifically how he acted unfairly.
After putting down the ruler, Wanwan asked Yintang, "Yintang, tell the Empress Dowager what exactly the Eighth Prince told you?"
Emperor Kangxi and Consort Yi also listened intently to Yinzhen's words.
At this moment, Yinzhen was terrified of this Imperial Noble Consort. Seeing her ask him so gently, he immediately blurted out everything.
Yinzhen's tears were still falling as he sobbed, while Wanwan gently wiped them away with a handkerchief.
Yin Tang said, "Eighth Brother said he was not doing well, unlike the other princes. His food, clothing and daily necessities were different. He said he envied us, especially Fourth Brother."
Yin Tang said, "He also said that his fourth brother had a dog that he liked very much. He originally wanted to play with it, but his fourth brother wouldn't let him. He said he liked it very much, so his son thought of catching his fourth brother's dog for his eighth brother to play with. But the dog wouldn't go with his son, so his son got angry and cut off the dog's fur."
Wanwan said "Oh," and then added, "So, your eighth brother told you that he's not doing well, is that right?"
Yin Tang replied, "Yes."
Consort Yi was furious; she had truly made a fool of herself today.
Unexpectedly, she, a concubine, and her son, a prince, were completely outmaneuvered by a child born to a lowly woman.
Let's rate it, family members!
(?????)?? Love you all, muah!
