Despite the strict management of Prince Yong's residence, it still couldn't stop the people below from spreading gossip.
Duofu sacrificed his sleep-in time and heard a lot of gossip early in the morning.
Although the people below them weren't of high status, their gossip spread incredibly fast.
And it seems to be quite accurate.
Duofu then heard that Crown Prince Yinreng had indeed been deposed this time.
It is said that he not only acted recklessly in the palace, but also formed cliques with ministers to plot a rebellion and seize the throne.
Duofu felt that the news he had guessed last night was probably true.
The poor Crown Prince was indeed deposed.
It seems that the crown prince wasn't so pitiful after all; at least he lived a carefree life for over 30 years.
He lived each day recklessly, even bullying the row of younger brothers below him.
Duofu felt that his pet owner must have been bullied by this prince, but he didn't know how.
Duofu just wants to know when his pet owner will be back.
The crown prince is going to be deposed eventually anyway, so it doesn't matter if he's deposed a little earlier or a little later, as long as it doesn't affect his pet owner.
Even though Duofu knew that his pet owner wouldn't be in any danger this time, his little heart still couldn't help but worry.
I'm worried about whether his pet owner is eating and drinking well in the palace, and whether he's always kneeling.
As Emperor Kangxi gets older, he becomes less affectionate towards his grown-up sons, and he may only be a little kinder to his younger ones.
Duofu was worried about his pet owner in the mansion. A bunch of princes in the Forbidden City had been kneeling for almost the entire night, and none of them looked too good.
Even though I had padding, my legs were still numb and weak.
He almost fell if someone hadn't caught him, not to mention the princes who had nothing at all.
The Fourth Prince felt a surge of anger when he thought of his Thirteenth Brother, who had been implicated. He tried to suppress the dissatisfaction in his eyes, but when he looked up, he resumed his cold and ruthless expression.
For a fleeting moment, he even thought that his second elder brother, the Crown Prince, had actually succeeded in his rebellion.
However, he quickly suppressed the thought. He had always wanted that position, but he kept it firmly under his control and dared not show it in front of others.
His eighth brother, who's always in the public eye, won't be around for much longer.
His father, Huang, doesn't like anyone hindering his position.
Even his most beloved son was not allowed, let alone the Eighth Prince, who was not so favored.
With Su Peisheng's help, the Fourth Prince walked out of the Forbidden City with a limp, and only felt better after getting into the carriage.
Duofu rarely inquires about me, and instead of going back to bed for a nap, he squatted by the window, eagerly waiting for his human to return.
When he heard some noise outside, his eyes lit up; it must be his pet owner coming home.
Sure enough, the familiar figure of Su Peisheng walked into the yard first, followed by his pet owner.
Before Duofu could even bark, he saw his pet owner's wife rushing over from the backyard.
It seems they received the news immediately and came to the front yard to visit their pet owner.
They were still some distance apart, and Duofu didn't know what his parents had said. He only knew that his wife had retreated with a look of disappointment on her face.
Duofu's previously somewhat disappointed face immediately lit up.
As soon as the Fourth Prince stepped into the courtyard, he saw a small head peeking out from the window.
My heart, which had been heavy, relaxed a little when I saw the head moving around.
The Fourth Prince just wanted to hold his little darling in his arms and give him a good kiss.
This is the only way to keep him from going crazy and to calm him down.
Before Duofu could react, his owner grabbed him and pulled him into their arms, holding him and sucking on his belly.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had accidentally blown up an oxygen tank and was needing oxygen because he was short of oxygen.
Duofu clearly sensed that his pet owner's emotions were off; these emotions were too outwardly displayed and very abnormal.
His pet owner is back safe and sound, right? Why does he still look like his dad just died?
Duofu was a little confused. Was it because Kangxi's words were too harsh?
Duofu blinked his bright eyes and looked to Su Peisheng behind him for help. What was going on?
Why does he feel like his childhood is about to fall apart at any moment?
Su Peisheng gave him a helpless expression, left the room silently without making a sound, and quietly closed the door.
Duofu's two big eyes hadn't even reacted yet when he left. Didn't he see how heartbroken his owner was?
Duofu quickly transformed into human form; his dog paws were too short, and he couldn't comfort his pet owner.
The Fourth Prince buried his head in Duofu's belly. Duofu gently opened his arms and, unusually, didn't mind that his human hadn't showered all day, hugged his human's head.
My nose twitched. Good, no smell. Only then did I feel relieved enough to rest my head down.
Duofu didn't know how long he had been holding him, he was getting a little sleepy, and he could feel his little belly calling for him to eat.
But in this situation, he really felt embarrassed to disturb his pet owner's emotional outburst.
Duofu was about to comfort his pet owner a little more, and just a quarter of an hour more, so he reminded his parents and the dormitory supervisor that it was time for dinner.
The Fourth Prince's somewhat muffled, hoarse voice came from his belly.
"Duoduo, this is so unfair! Why? Why should the thirteenth brother be implicated in the Crown Prince's mistake?"
Duofu didn't quite understand at first. What did the Crown Prince's removal have to do with the Thirteenth Prince?
Later, through the Fourth Prince's intermittent words, Duofu roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It seems that the crown prince was deposed, which implicated his pet owner. His pet owner's thirteenth brother took the blame for him and was imprisoned by Emperor Kangxi.
Duofu had no idea that the deposition of a crown prince had implicated so many people.
My older brother has been placed under house arrest.
The Second Prince was the Crown Prince who was deposed.
The Third Prince seems to be doing well.
The fourth prince's pet owner was almost implicated and imprisoned as well.
The Eighth Prince has become a scapegoat in his pet owner's eyes, and he probably won't have a good ending.
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were both part of the Eighth Prince's faction.
The thirteenth prince was placed under house arrest.
...
Emperor Kangxi was truly remarkable.
This is because they have too many sons and don't care at all; they can punish them however they want.
If it were just a few seedlings, Duofu wouldn't believe he would be willing to use them like that.
Duofu couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Crown Prince was really useless. He had been the Crown Prince for more than 30 years, so why was he so timid and hesitant when it came to rebelling?
Before he could even successfully rebel, he was demoted by Emperor Kangxi with a single decree, and his pet owner was almost implicated as well.
Even if his pet owner wasn't implicated this time, his only caring younger brother got arrested, which must have made his pet owner sad.
