Seeing him, Concubine Yi quickly adjusted her mood, stood up and saluted, and said, "The servants in my palace are really useless. They didn't even inform me that Your Majesty was coming."
Emperor Kangxi raised his hand to help Concubine Yi up and said, "I didn't allow them to pass on the message."
After talking to Concubine Yi, Emperor Kangxi looked at Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli standing beside him.
"I thought you two had left the palace, but it turns out you came to see Concubine Yi. You are so thoughtful that you didn't forget to come and pay your respects to my mother so late at night."
"This is what I should do," Yinzhen replied respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi glanced at Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli, a look of helplessness flashing across her beautiful eyes.
"The palace is about to be opened, you should go back and rest early. You will be busy with the Empress Dowager's birthday in the next period of time." Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and signaled them to leave.
After walking out of the Yikun Palace, Jiang Ranli couldn't wait to ask Yinzhen, "Yinzhen, the Thirteenth Master was imprisoned? What happened?"
When Jiang Ranli met Yinzhen in the teahouse before, he felt something was strange. Although Yinzhen usually looked cold, he had a layer of loneliness on him that day. Jiang Ranli did not think about it at that time, but now after hearing the news that the Thirteenth Prince was imprisoned, he remembered the situation at that time.
"I know that you have a good relationship with Thirteenth Prince, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want to make you worry. When the Emperor abolished the Crown Prince some time ago, he also imprisoned Thirteenth Prince," Yinzhen replied.
"What's going on?" Jiang Ranli asked anxiously.
"The eldest prince reported the crown prince for corruption and bribery, saying that the thirteenth prince was his accomplice," Yinzhen simply explained the reason.
After hearing this, Jiang Ranli's face was filled with worry. The prince's corruption and bribery were not ordinary bribery. He was not only involved in collecting tributes from various foreign countries, but also in selling official positions privately. In addition, he formed a clique for personal gain, which was a serious crime. The Thirteenth Prince was accused by the Eldest Prince as the prince's accomplice, so it was no wonder that he was imprisoned.
"How can the eldest prince be such a piece of shit?" Jiang Ranli couldn't help but swear. The eldest prince was simply looking for trouble everywhere and he wanted to step on all the princes and brothers before he would be satisfied.
"Don't worry, he is also imprisoned now," Yinzhen comforted.
"What's going on? Didn't the Tenth Master and the Fourteenth Master say they had seen him today?" Jiang Ranli was surprised.
"What happened in the afternoon," Yinzhen did not elaborate.
Jiang Ranli did not ask any further questions, because just by looking at Yin'er's expression, she knew that the eldest prince was imprisoned, and it must be the work of him, the eighth prince, the tenth prince, and the fourteenth prince.
"Will Master Thirteen be okay?"
"It will be fine. I, the fourth brother, the eighth brother, the tenth brother, and the fourteenth brother have worked together to get everyone to expose the crimes of the eldest prince in recent years, and reported him to the emperor for slandering the thirteenth brother. The emperor has always been very observant, and I believe the thirteenth brother will be cleared of the charges soon," Yinzhen replied.
After hearing his words, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and couldn't help asking, "Why would you and the Fourth Master help the Thirteenth Master?"
Although Yinzhen didn't say it, Jiang Ranli also knew that the reason he made the memorial to the eldest prince this time was partly for the sake of the thirteenth prince.
Yin'er's expression was somewhat unnatural, and his voice was filled with stubbornness, "It's because I, your husband, didn't join Fourth Brother in helping Thirteenth. It's just that the Eldest Prince is really hateful. He treated you like that more than three years ago, and in the past three years he has been targeting Eighth Brother and Tenth and Fourteenth Brothers from time to time. This time he wants to step on Thirteenth. If we let him continue to act recklessly, wouldn't all of us brothers be harmed by him?"
This stubborn guy said that he didn't do it for the Thirteenth Prince, but he obviously did it for the Thirteenth Prince.
