Yinzhen knelt on the ground in a daze. When he saw that Consort Hai, who was also kneeling on the ground with disheveled clothes, looked down and found that his own clothes were also disheveled, his mind suddenly went blank.
"Father, your son...your son did nothing."
Yinzhen had already planned where to bury himself. He wasn't the Emperor's favorite son. How could he possibly have a good ending after having slept with the Emperor's woman?
But he was truly innocent.
Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen and knew he had been tricked.
However... whether he was tricked by someone else or brought it upon himself is another matter.
Emperor Kangxi glanced at the composed Crown Prince and sighed inwardly.
He knew that this was probably the Crown Prince's scheme, but seeing his precious son's bad expression, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Kangxi looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Consort Hai. "Tell me, what's going on with you?"
Hai Guiren was heartbroken.
The old man has been cuckolded. Regardless of which son did it, shouldn't he be the one to get angry first?
Why did you look around and ask her first?
"Your Majesty, I was forced by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
The reason Emperor Kangxi asked Consort Hai was that he wanted to hear the truth from her.
I never expected that even after all this, this woman would still try to implicate the Crown Prince.
Kangxi's face immediately darkened. "Liang Jiugong, hand this woman over to Prince Zhi and let him handle this matter."
Hai Guiren was completely terrified.
Prince Zhi?
That idiot who kept kicking her just now?
She would rather be interrogated by Emperor Kangxi or the Crown Prince than by that simpleton; she would lose her life.
"Your Majesty, spare me! I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything."
Because the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were dealing with Consort Hai and Yin Tang's affairs, the responsibility of taking care of Hongxi fell on Yinti.
When Yinti returned to his bedchamber, he saw Granny Gui holding Hongxi and comforting him. Upon seeing him enter, she relayed the Crown Prince's instructions.
"The second son asked the master to help him take care of the children?" Yinti felt that his brain was not quite up to the task.
What's going on?
He left his own children in the backyard for his wife to take care of, so what was the second son thinking, expecting him to look after his children?
Granny Gui's smile was somewhat forced. "Yes. His Highness the Crown Prince said he has some matters to attend to and cannot look after the young prince, so..."
Yinti pursed his lips, momentarily unable to articulate his inner thoughts.
He discovered that his second brother had recently become possessed; he not only started calling him "elder brother" but also seemed to trust him much more.
Now they're still letting him look after the kids? Has something happened that he doesn't know about?
Yinti's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but his hands had already taken Hongxi's hand.
The baby stared at him with wide eyes, her little mouth stretched into a beautiful smile, and glistening drool kept flowing down her cheeks.
"Why is this child drooling?" Yinti asked with a look of disgust.
Granny Gui thought to herself, "This child is only a month old, isn't it normal for him to drool?"
But she dared not say it aloud, and could only take out a handkerchief to wipe the child.
"Alright, Master, come on." Yinti took the handkerchief and carefully wiped Hongxi's mouth.
【Uncle is so good, Uncle is the best.】 Hongxi was overjoyed, his little hands waving excitedly.
Yinti couldn't hear the little guy's thoughts, but seeing his expression, he guessed what was going on.
"You little rascal, you're much cuter than your father." Yinqi hugged Hongxi and began to coax him in a very serious manner.
When Yinreng was born, Yinti was being raised in the home of a minister. When he returned to the palace, he saw a four- or five-year-old porcelain doll, looking precious and elegant.
He was young at the time and really wanted to play with his younger brother.
But his mother kept nagging him about the illegitimate son and the legitimate son, and his father, the Emperor, wasn't as good to him as he was to his younger brother.
Over time, a competitive spirit began to emerge in his mind.
Why was Yinreng born into a family where everyone loved him, while he couldn't?
At first, he thought it was because he wasn't good enough, so he competed with his younger brother in everything.
But as he got older, especially after having his own children, he gradually realized that as a parent, it's impossible to treat all children equally.
Even he himself only doted on the children born to his primary wife, and even daughters, he cherished them like the apple of his eye.
Moreover, Yinreng was the child of the original Empress.
Yinti held Yinti and couldn't help but sigh.
Granny Gui stood to the side, barely daring to breathe, her eyes fixed on Hongxi, not daring to look away for even a moment.
When Yinreng came in, he saw the usually carefree Yinti sitting on the blanket, coaxing Hongxi to play.
Yinti had somehow acquired some small cloth dolls and wooden swords, which the servants were using to amuse the child.
"Brother seems to be in a good mood." Yinreng arrived and slumped into a chair, showing no intention of taking care of the child.
Yinti was so angry that he wanted to shove the child into his arms, but seeing how unreliable he was, he held back.
"You dare to scheme against me, you brat, humph."
With a wave of his hand, all the servants except for Granny Gui left the room.
Yinreng understood what he meant. "It wasn't a scheme, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment."
Yinti was so angry that his face turned red. He grabbed the small wooden sword on the ground and threw it at Yinreng.
He regretted it as soon as he made the move. What if Yinreng couldn't dodge it?
Fortunately, the opponent wasn't too weak and easily dodged his attack.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but then glared at the other person fiercely.
"Was Consort Hai designed by Yinzhen?" Yinti sat down beside him, holding Hongxi, showing no intention of returning the child to Yinreng.
