Yinzhen's sudden fall from his horse immediately halted the ongoing hunt.
After learning the whole story, Emperor Kangxi immediately ordered Yin'e to kneel outside Yinzhen's bedchamber and said that he could only get up when Yinzhen was out of danger.
Yinreng stayed by Yinzhen's side the whole time, watching the imperial physicians come and go, but they all shook their heads and sighed. For the first time, he had the thought of beating his own brother to death.
How could Fourth Uncle have fallen off his horse? This didn't happen in the previous life.
Yinreng frowned.
The fact that this part didn't happen in the previous life probably means that this event didn't occur in the previous life.
Could it be that the events of these two lifetimes will be different?
"Second brother, I'll stay and take care of fourth brother. You've been here all day, it's time for you to go back and rest."
When Yinzhi learned that Yin'e had gotten into trouble, he planned to plead with Emperor Kangxi, but before he could even speak, he was scolded by the emperor.
So he came up with this roundabout solution.
Since they couldn't please Emperor Kangxi, they decided to try to please the Crown Prince instead.
Yinreng stared intently at Yinsi. This kid had never been kind-hearted. On the surface, he appeared to be respectful and courteous, but behind the scenes, he did all sorts of bad things.
"Take a look and then go back to rest. I will personally guard this place."
Yinzhi wanted to say something more, but seeing that Yinreng's expression wasn't good, he didn't dare to say anything more.
She stayed by Yinzhen's bedside for a while before leaving.
Uncle Ba's eyes are really scary. Is he planning something at this time?
Although Uncle Ten's actions against Uncle Four might have been a spur-of-the-moment thing, Uncle Eight certainly wouldn't let this opportunity to get rid of Uncle Four slip by.
Yinreng played with the prayer beads in his hand.
Yes, Yinzhen was his greatest support.
If something were to happen to Yinzhen, it would be as if he had lost an arm.
"He Yuzhu, go outside and keep an eye on Lao Shi. Without my orders, he is not allowed to leave."
"Yes." He Yuzhu accepted the order and immediately went out to keep watch.
The news of Yinzhen's accident was not intended to be concealed, so it was reported back to the palace within a few days.
Consort De was doing needlework for the Fourteenth Prince in Yonghe Palace when she heard the news that Yinzhen had fallen from his horse and fallen into a coma. She immediately began to make plans.
"Are you sure it was Lao Shi who did it?"
Consort De looked at Bai Lan, the head palace maid beside her.
"Our information is indeed true. We heard that the Tenth Prince did not do it on purpose, and the Emperor is furious about it."
Consort De showed no sign of worry. After pondering for a moment, she led her entourage straight to Chuxiu Palace.
As soon as she entered the room, before Consort Wenxi could even speak, Consort De knelt down and began wailing, pulling at her handkerchief.
“Your Highness, we are all sisters in the same palace. If you don’t like me, you can come to me. Why bother the Tenth Prince to deal with Yinzhen?”
At this time, Consort Wenxi had just learned from the Niohuru family what her son had done. She originally wanted to prepare generous gifts to apologize at Yonghe Palace, but unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to come to her door.
"Consort De, why are you doing this?" Consort Wenxi was utterly startled.
She was never a cunning person, and her ability to reach the rank of Imperial Concubine was due to her family background, not because she was particularly capable.
But Consort De is different. She rose from a lowly palace maid who actively climbed into the emperor's bedchamber to her current rank. Anyone who dares to look down on her will probably die without even knowing how.
Consort De was not afraid of being laughed at by the palace servants, and she knelt in the courtyard and began to cry.
“The Tenth Prince is of noble status and naturally doesn’t care about others. But Yinzhen is still his Fourth Brother. Even if he doesn’t care about him, he shouldn’t have tried to harm him.”
Seeing that the other party's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Consort Wenxi knew that if this matter got out today, she, Yin'e, and the Niohuru family would all be in deep trouble.
Emperor Kangxi is still in Rehe, and this matter has already escalated to an uncontrollable level.
It's easy to imagine what those former high-ranking officials would say after the group returned to the capital.
Just thinking about it gave Consort Wenxi a headache.
"When that brat comes back, I'll skin him alive."
After finally seeing Consort De off, Consort Wenxi felt as if she had exhausted half her life's strength.
While serving her tea, Cui Liu comforted her, saying, "There might be some hidden reasons behind this, but we can't say for sure. Our Tenth Prince is simple-minded and has no grudges against the Fourth Prince. How could he possibly hurt someone?"
Consort Wenxi pursed her lips.
"Send someone outside to tell them to thoroughly investigate what the Tenth Prince has been doing lately."
This kid is always following Old Nine around, while Old Nine is always following Old Eight around.
Hmph, the child born to a lowly maid from the Imperial Laundry Department has two princes of noble birth following behind her.
Yinzhi was truly capable.
Inside the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang snorted coldly after hearing Sumalagu's report.
"What a despicable Consort De! She used to despise the fourth prince, but now that she sees he's easy to use, she starts crying and making a scene. Where is the self-awareness that a high-ranking concubine should have?"
Sumalagu, trying to appease Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, said, "I heard that Consort Wenxi was so frightened at the time that she had to use all her nice words to persuade Consort De to leave."
Thinking of Consort Wenxi, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sighed and shook her head.
"She's not very shrewd; she's gotten to where she is today entirely because of her family background. Her son is even more of a fool."
When it came to the prince, Sumalagu naturally dared not speak carelessly.
“Send someone to deliver some tonics to Rehe and inform the Emperor about Consort De’s disturbance.”
After giving the order, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang still felt unsatisfied and looked at Sumalagu, saying, "Go to Yonghe Palace and convey my oral decree. Since Consort De is so concerned about Yinzhen, let her pray for Yinzhen in the small Buddhist hall. She can leave Yonghe Palace only when the entourage returns to the palace."
