Princess Rongxian looked at her sister-in-law with a hint of unease and guilt. Although she knew her sister had feelings for her brother, she hadn't expected her to be so open. She figured her sister-in-law would definitely hold a grudge against her.
Furthermore, the eldest brother losing his child, I wonder if it will have any impact on the third brother.
After parting ways with the princess, He Zhuo returned to his own courtyard.
After thinking it over, He Zhuo decided to go find Yin Zhi. Yin Zhi was not in a good mood, and He Zhuo was worried that he would cause trouble for the fourth prince and the crown prince, since this matter seemed to be related to the two of them.
It didn't take long to find out that there was nothing wrong with the horses and that no one had tampered with them.
He Zhuo arrived at the horse farm, went to see the horse, and studied it. Although He Zhuo did not understand animal language, the animals were very willing to get close to him because He Zhuo gave them spiritual energy.
He Zhuo transmitted the message to the horse's mind: "Good horse, the woman who rode you today was thrown off. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
The horse couldn't speak, but it kicked its hind legs. When Khoja didn't react, it kicked again.
He Zhuo roughly understood what the horse meant, and went forward to stroke it. Sure enough, he found a bruise. It was a very small spot, only a tiny bit, but it could still indicate that it had been injured by a sharp object such as a stone.
With this clue, Liu Bajin went to investigate and see who had appeared at the surrounding horse farms.
However, this is very difficult to investigate, because these concubines rode their horses on the grasslands, not in a racetrack. There might have been some animosity among the people present, or perhaps it was an attempt to create conflict between Yinzhi and the fourth prince, causing them to become estranged.
After all, the fourth prince was in the Crown Prince's camp, and everyone knew that the eldest prince, Yinzhi, was at odds with the Crown Prince.
However, there was no major conflict between Yinzhi and the fourth prince; the two brothers usually didn't have much interaction.
The whole matter became increasingly perplexing. After investigating to this point, Yinzhi left someone to continue the investigation while he and his wife went to visit the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
Yinzhen had just returned from a visit to the Emperor and heard about this matter, which made him feel uneasy. Just as he was about to question Consort Li, his elder brother and sister-in-law arrived.
What could we do? We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. The victim had come knocking on our door, demanding an explanation.
At this point, Yinzhen was dissatisfied with Lady Li. When something happened, she didn't deal with it immediately, but waited a long time before reporting it to the princes. The person who reported it was also vague, only saying that there was a horse race, and then the concubine of the Prince Zhi was startled by the horse.
It was never mentioned how the horse was startled, who was present, or how it was dealt with afterwards; I have to find out for myself.
On the way back, we learned that Consort Shu had miscarried, and we also found out who was present at the scene.
However, he was still unclear about other things, such as how his own fool had angered his elder brother's concubine, how impolite he had been, and how he had encouraged others to race horses while refusing to participate himself—he was simply a coward.
Li's behavior inevitably made the Fourth Prince suspicious, especially considering that she was sent by his mother, the Consort De, years ago...
Yinzhen vaguely regretted bringing her along. If he had brought his wife, even if something went wrong, the aftermath would have been handled well, and he would have already sent gifts to visit and apologize.
"Fourth brother, I've come uninvited today, you won't be unwelcome, will you?" Yinzhi said bluntly from the start.
"Not at all, I've always wanted to invite my elder brother and sister-in-law to come and sit down." Yinzhen had tea served.
"Oh, is that so? Where is your concubine, Lady Li? My brother's concubine is still in bed." Yinzhi sat down with a swagger, speaking very rudely!
