"You tell me first." It was the 47th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. A lot of things had happened during this year. Jiang Ranli didn't think there was anything worth being particularly happy about at this time.
The Tenth Prince cleared his throat and said, "The eldest prince has come to his senses these days and admitted defeat. He knows that he is not good at anything, so he recommended Eighth Brother to the Emperor. Moreover, the fortune teller Zhang Mingde read Eighth Brother's fortune and said that Eighth Brother will be very noble in the future."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranli froze there, a thunderclap exploded in his head, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Seeing this, Yinzhen, who was not far away, hurried to her side and asked, "Li'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Tenth brother, what did you say to Li'er?" Fourteenth prince also ran over and asked Tenth prince anxiously.
The Tenth Prince was also shocked by Jiang Ranli's drastic change, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "I only said that the eldest prince recommended the eighth brother, and I didn't say anything else, and then Li'er became like this."
After hearing the reason, Fourteenth Prince was confused. Tenth Prince's words were good news for them. He couldn't understand why Jiang Ranli was like this.
However, he couldn't understand what Yinzhen realized.
"Li'er, I'll take you to rest."
As he said that, Yinzhen picked up Jiang Ranli horizontally, and then looked at the Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince, "Eighth Brother, I will take Li'er to rest first, you wait a moment."
"Okay, go ahead," the Eighth Prince nodded.
After they walked a little further away, Jiang Ranli spoke tremblingly, "Yin'er..."
"Don't say anything, I'll take you to rest," Yinzhen interrupted her.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ranli pursed her lips. She didn't understand why Yinzhen knew that she knew the history of the future but didn't ask her. If he asked, she would tell him what she knew even if it would risk the whole world's condemnation.
Just like what the Tenth Prince said just now, how could the Eldest Prince be so kind? He and other ministers recommended the Eighth Prince to Emperor Kangxi. This was a form of flattery and a test. He wanted to use the Eighth Prince to test Emperor Kangxi's intentions.
"Don't think about or care about those annoying things. Just stay by your husband's side and I will be satisfied."
After bringing Jiang Ranli into the room and settling her down, Yinzhen held her hand and spoke softly.
"Yin'er, I can..."
"Don't say those things anymore. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. Have a good rest. I will go find my dear brother and the others." Yinzhen interrupted Jiang Ranli, kissed her lightly with his cool thin lips, and then walked out.
Looking at his tall and slender figure, Jiang Ranli felt extremely sad, but Yinzhen refused to listen to her.
History continued to develop along its original trajectory. On the day after the eldest prince recommended the eighth prince to Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi summoned all the princes to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and said that the eighth prince was treacherous by nature and had great ambitions. His gang members colluded with each other to murder Yinreng, so he locked him up and punished him.
Yinzhen and the Fourteenth Prince rushed to stop the remonstration, but the Fourteenth Prince had a conflict with Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi was very angry and drew his sword against the Fourteenth Prince. Fortunately, the princes pleaded with him and the bloody conflict between father and son was resolved.
At this point, the once-powerful Eighth Prince was stripped of his Beile rank and demoted to an idle member of the royal family. Although the Eighth Prince's party suffered losses, they were not fundamentally damaged because of the strenuous efforts of Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince.
Jiang Ranli felt distressed when she saw Yin'er's tired face. She walked behind him and put her arms around his strong waist.
