Yinzhi was impatient to go to the Ministry of War every day, since those big shots there didn't want to see his face anyway.
So, Yinzhen, who didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky, was strolling around looking for fun.
As he passed by Wenyunxuan, Yin suddenly felt a strong urge to visit.
Since marrying his Mongolian wife, he has rarely indulged in extramarital affairs. After all, they have just gotten married, and he still needs to give Mongolia some face.
Unfortunately, his wife was tall and strong, not his type, so the couple's relationship was lukewarm. For the sake of his legitimate son, Yinzhen endured it.
What cat doesn't steal fish? Over time, Yinzhen reverted to his old ways and had already slept with several maids in the mansion. When the Fujin (principal wife) found out, she didn't say anything. Instead, she suggested giving the maids some titles.
Yinzhen didn't care much about these things. He had no genuine feelings for these maids and left them to his wife to deal with as she pleased.
However, after walking back and forth to Wenyun Pavilion several times, Yinzhen found himself unable to move on.
Upon seeing Yinzhen enter, the servant who was greeting guests was momentarily stunned, but then greeted him with a beaming smile: "Isn't this the Tenth Master? What brings you here? Young Master Rong has been waiting for you so patiently. He's been beaten by the master several times for refusing to serve guests. You must take good care of him."
"Rong'er?" Yin'e thought of that naturally charming man and couldn't wait any longer.
Yes, although he was already married and had many concubines and maids, he was also interested in handsome boys.
Before getting married, he used to spend lavishly at Wenyunxuan. Later, when Ninth Brother found out, he cut off his own money, and that's how he gradually withdrew from the circle.
Now that he's only come once or twice, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Yin thought to himself. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and he once again fell for Young Master Rong's tenderness and affection.
Little did they know, the gentle embrace of pleasure concealed endless dangers.
A few days later, Rong Gongzi, the former top courtesan of Wenyunxuan, committed suicide, leaving behind a handwritten suicide note filled with accusations against Yinzhen.
The story details how the two fell in love and fell in love. After Yinzhen's marriage, Rong Gongzi thought there was no possibility for them to be together again. However, he was surprised to find that Yinzhen had become a sinister and perverted person. He not only used various tools on Rong Gongzi but also tortured him psychologically.
Unable to bear the humiliation, Young Master Rong committed suicide. The coroner's examination revealed that his body was indeed covered with various signs of abuse, and the signs were very fresh, consistent with the description in his suicide note.
The capital was in an uproar.
Wen Yunxuan mainly caters to all sorts of idle playboys who have nothing better to do. They have money and time, but most importantly, they lack judgment.
The news that the Tenth Prince was a homosexual and had tortured people to death spread like wildfire throughout the capital. The background of Young Master Rong added a touch of ambiguity to this romantic affair.
Young Master Rong was once a scholar who went to the capital to take the imperial examination, but unfortunately he failed. He had no money to return home, so he could only work part-time and study part-time in the capital, waiting for the next imperial examination.
This was a scholar who aspired to become an official. After witnessing the prosperity of the capital, he willingly degenerated and transformed into the top courtesan of Wenyunxuan. Now, he has died in such a bizarre way.
After receiving the memorial from the censor, Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill his son.
"Liang Jiugong, bring this rebellious son to me."
Yinzhen was still asleep. He had stayed up all night having fun and had slept most of the morning. When Liang Jiugong saw that the emperor was really angry, he poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Who?" Yin was jolted awake by the cold.
"Eunuch Liang?"
"Tenth Prince, the Emperor has ordered you to come to the palace for an audience as soon as possible." Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to know nothing, Liang Jiugong quickly gave a brief summary of the matter.
Yin was dumbfounded. Although he liked male homosexuality and had indeed slept with Rong'er, he had not abused him. He didn't like that kind of thing and wasn't a pervert!
Seeing that Liang Jiugong was pressing him urgently, Yinzhen left someone to inform his ninth and fourth brothers. Although he was idle all day, he was not stupid. If he messed things up today, he would be in trouble and would have to rely on his two brothers to cover for him.

Upon entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen immediately knelt down: "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty. Your subject has been wronged. Please, Your Majesty, investigate the matter thoroughly and restore justice to your subject."
"Fairness?" Kangxi said angrily, "Where have I wronged you? Tell me, you don't know that Young Master Rong?"
"We know each other."
"You didn't sleep in the same bed with him?"
"Uh, they're asleep."
"Then what nonsense are you spouting?" Kangxi retorted angrily. "What kind of woman can't you have? Even if you want to find a man, can't you keep him in your own household? You've completely disgraced the imperial family!"
"Father, I have always pursued mutual consent. I really did not mistreat Rong'er. The last time I met him, we got along very well. He even praised me for being more valiant than before..."
"Shut up!" Kangxi paced back and forth. "My son went to the Nanfeng Pavilion, and you still have the nerve to be smug?"
Yin slapped himself in the face in his mind, thinking, "I messed up, I have to start over."
"Father, I have been wronged! I beg you to investigate and give me justice."
"You..." Kangxi, enraged by these relentless words, slammed a teacup down in anger. "Go back and reflect on your actions behind closed doors. You are not to leave the residence until the matter is settled. Get out!"
"Your subject thanks Your Majesty." Yinzhen knelt down, kowtowed, and left.
Kangxi watched his tenth son's retreating figure and fell into deep thought. He believed he understood his son's temperament well; he would admit to anything he did, but would never admit to anything he didn't do, no matter what.
Could it be that someone really framed him?
