Fourth Prince Yinzhen, seeing Duofu's aggrieved face, quickly asked and comforted him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
"If they dare to mess with you, they're not taking me seriously."
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, reached out and carefully stroked Duofu's uninjured head.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes filled with coldness. He would never let anyone who dared to touch his dog get away with it.
No matter who it is.
Even the Emperor himself cannot.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, looked tenderly at the injured Duofu in his arms, his tone sweet as if coaxing a child.
"Don't worry, I won't let any of them go. Anyone who dares to touch you under my nose, I'll skin them alive."
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had dark, brooding eyes. Those eunuchs and palace maids were easy to deal with; he didn't even need to lift a finger to get rid of them.
The more difficult ones are the tenth and ninth brothers. Their mothers are quite different; one is very favored in the harem, and the other is currently the one with the highest status.
It's not easy to make a move. If his mother were still alive, he wouldn't need to lift a finger to find a solution.
Indeed, if the Empress Dowager were still alive, how would the tenth and ninth brothers have dared to do that?
The only reason he dared to touch anything in Chengqian Palace was because he no longer had his mother's protection.
They dared to ride roughshod over him.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, could not suppress his anger whenever he thought of this.
In the inner palace, everyone, whether master or servant, is so snobbish and opportunistic.
He hasn't fallen out of favor yet, but his tenth and ninth brothers dare to hit his things.
If he were to lose his father's favor one day, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen dared not even imagine the days he would spend in the harem without his father or mother.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on Duofu, who was still whimpering in his arms. He gently soothed him with his hands, determined not to let such a day happen.
Otherwise, how will he take good care of Duofu?
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, laughed in anger upon hearing the news that Su Peisheng had gathered.
"Since Ninth Brother likes to cut other people's fur with scissors so much, and I see that Ninth Brother doesn't want his fur either, I'll cut it for him too."
“Tenth Brother, since you like running around outside so much, it’s quite normal for you to accidentally shake off your servants, break your leg, and fall into the lake.”
"Su Peisheng, go and do it for me."
Su Peisheng stared at the camera with a bitter expression. How could he possibly have that kind of skill?
It's not so bad that they said the Tenth Prince was injured and fell into the lake. If the people below had some influence, it might have been successful.
Ask him to find a way to cut off the Ninth Prince's braid? How could he possibly have that ability?
Even if the order were given, who would dare to cut the Ninth Prince's hair with scissors? If caught, it would be a matter of exterminating nine generations of his family.
Cutting off the Ninth Prince's hair is tantamount to cutting off the Emperor's hair.
Su Peisheng stood there, head held high, stammering for a long time before daring not to reply.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, glanced at him, his eyes filled with impatience.
Su Peisheng jolted awake and quickly opened his mouth to speak. He didn't want to be dragged away and punished for being slow, something that had happened before.
Before he knew much about the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, he was often dragged away and beaten for stammering and not speaking.
That was the Fourth Prince's original statement.
Since they don't want to speak, give them a couple of whacks to wake them up, and they'll naturally start talking.
From then on, Su Peisheng knew he had to speak immediately if the Fourth Prince Yinzhen gave him a single glance, or he would suffer in his backside again.
"My lord, the matter of the tenth prince is manageable, but as for the ninth prince cutting off his queue, this servant... has no solution."
Su Peisheng's voice became increasingly faint towards the end.
When Duofu heard that the Ninth Prince's hair should also be cut, he barked excitedly, his eyes full of agreement.
After his initial excitement, Duofu became worried: what if he got caught, and how would he handle it?
Now that Empress Tong is gone, there's no one left to whisper sweet nothings in Emperor Kangxi's ear to the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
But when he looked up and saw the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, looking so confident, he felt that nothing serious would happen. It was just a haircut.
That chubby kid shaved all his hair off; cutting off that little bit of hair was already a bargain for him.
Duofu then switched to a state of excitement and eagerness.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, glanced at Su Peisheng indifferently, without the slightest emotion.
"Just take care of your tenth brother's matter. Be careful to use the people Mother left behind, and don't leave any clues so that people can trace it back to Grandpa."
"If all else fails, ask the nanny for help. She knows more about the various things in the palace."
He paused for a moment, his tone becoming even colder.
"As for Ninth Brother, I will take care of him personally, so you don't need to worry about that."
Duofu didn't understand anything unexpected. You thought that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, would personally send someone more powerful to deal with the Ninth Prince.
He couldn't wait to take action right now; he wanted to see the Ninth Prince's miserable state without hair.
Duofu felt that his wounds didn't hurt so much anymore. How dare they pluck his fur? Don't they know who raised him?
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was historically known for his extreme love of dogs and his vengeful nature.
Duofu thought to himself with delight that once he got his revenge on the Ninth Prince, he would definitely find a chance to go out and see what he looked like with a bald head.
The people of today are unaware of the importance of hair to them in ancient times.
It is said that our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, and we should not damage them in the slightest, otherwise it would be unfilial.
Duofu just wanted to vent his anger and let those two chubby kids know how complicated society is, that he has a master and isn't a dog that everyone can bully.
Fourth Prince Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Duofu, who had regained some energy in his arms. He was afraid that Duofu would remain sullen.
As long as he's happy, cutting the Ninth Prince's hair isn't a big deal.
Perfect timing, I can take care of the things my mother left behind at the same time.
If it works well, he might be able to do it soon.
Then he could truly become the Empress's real son.
No longer will I have to worry about returning to Yonghe Palace, that completely unfamiliar place, and staging a so-called motherly love and filial piety act with that extremely hypocritical and fake Consort De.
Consort De is truly a genuine person. Since she became pregnant and gave birth to the Fourteenth Prince, she has never once encountered him in public.
Before, when she was pregnant, she would frequently try to make her presence known to him. Now that she has given birth to a baby boy, she has completely disappeared from his sight and no longer acts like a loving mother.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, also breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart he felt even more disdain.
It was his so-called biological mother who kept saying how much she loved him and how reluctant she was to part with him, and that it was all because Consort Tong forced her to send him to Chengqian Palace.
Isn't it true that she wanted wealth and status, and made deals based on power?
His own son was treated like an object, traded away at will.
