Given Yinxiang's personality, it's impossible for him to be given honeycomb briquettes as a money bag.
If Yinxiang handles this matter well, in another two years, he will probably be able to break free from Yinxiang's control.
Not getting what he wanted and losing his scapegoat, the Crown Prince was furious and took his anger out on Yinxiang.
The Crown Prince was quite direct; he summoned Yinxiang to Yuqing Palace, where a full-blown brawl ensued.
Emperor Kangxi felt that the Crown Prince did not treat his younger brother as family and had no brotherly affection. He frequently beat and scolded his younger brother. In the past, it was Yinzhen who did this, and now Yinxiang was also being treated the same way.
This caused Kangxi's gaze towards the Crown Prince to change once again.
Emperor Kangxi was displeased with the Crown Prince's reputation, so he immediately suppressed the news.
If Yinzhen hadn't inquired, it would probably have taken a couple of days for word to spread.
Knowing the whole story, Yinzhen immediately went to the palace to see his good younger brother, the Thirteenth Prince.
Upon seeing Yinzhen arrive, Yinxiang smiled and said, "Fourth Brother is always the first to arrive. I'm not feeling well, so I won't get out of bed."
"You should rest well. Don't bother with these formalities with me. You're even laughing. I think you've become too capable. You were beaten up like this. You knew the Crown Prince wouldn't let you off easily. You could have just made an excuse to avoid it. Why did you have to take a beating?"
"I didn't expect the Crown Prince to have started to disregard our past friendship. Besides, what I got in return for the beating was worth it."
This friendship refers to the friendship forged through taking the blame for others.

Of the other brothers, Yinreng and the Third Prince had a good relationship, but now their relationship has soured.
As for what you get in return.
First, there's Yinxiang's future.
Secondly, it was Yinzhen's title.
Anyway, Yinxiang felt it was worth it.
Yinzhen looked at his thirteenth brother with heartache: "Thirteenth brother, I don't need you to do this."
"Fourth brother, this has nothing to do with you. It's good that the Crown Prince took action. I don't have to feel guilty anymore. When Mother passed away, the Crown Prince did help settle my two younger sisters. I've done a lot for the Crown Prince over the years. Let's wipe the slate clean. It's good. Even though I'm in pain, I feel at ease."
