Chapter 178.
"Your Majesty...something terrible has happened!" Liang Jiugong ran into the hall in panic.
Kangxi had lost a lot of weight, and even the edges and corners of his face had become sharper. Seeing Liang Jiugong running in without any manners, Kangxi frowned fiercely, "Catch your breath before you talk! How disgraceful it is to be so unruly all the time!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Just now, the eunuch who was sweeping the Great West Gate came to report that...the Crown Prince and the princes had a fight near the Great West Gate!"
"What?" Kangxi could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly and walked out of the hall. He also asked Liang Jiugong if the prince had fought with anyone.
Liang Jiugong jogged along, panting and answering in a trembling voice: "Yes... all the princes started fighting."
Kangxi stopped in astonishment.
Did I hear it right?
He turned around and stared at Liang Jiugong, asking word by word: "Say it again!"
In fact, when Liang Jiugong heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief. He confirmed it with the young eunuch several times, so when Kangxi asked him the second time, he had to repeat it again.
Kangxi closed and opened his eyes repeatedly, as if hoping that this would help him suppress the anger in his heart, but looking at his expression, it seemed that the anger was only getting stronger.
Liang Jiugong remained silent and only prayed for the brothers in his heart.
So, Kangxi took Liang Jiugong and hurried to Daximen alone. After all, it was not a good thing for the crown prince and the princes to fight. For the sake of everyone's reputation, Kangxi was afraid that he would be known as someone who couldn't even educate his children, so Kangxi dismissed the others.
The distance from the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall to the Great West Gate is quite long.
So when Kangxi walked to the Daxi Gate, it was hard to tell how angry he was, but his face was still gloomy.
When they heard Liang Jiugong's voice, everyone stopped.
All the brothers bowed their heads obediently and greeted Kangxi. Kangxi ignored any of them, glanced at the marks on their robes and the flowers and plants around them that were affected, and snorted softly.
Everyone shuddered, as if waiting for Kangxi's decision.
For a moment, the scene was unusually quiet.
Kangxi glared at his group of troublesome sons. Because he did not say anything, a group of them did little actions that they thought were covert.
The eldest prince Yinzhi looked dissatisfied and obviously wanted to say something, but the third prince Yinzhi behind him grabbed his sleeve and prevented him from being the first to speak out.
Yinzhi looked calm and composed. He was not in a hurry. He had so many people with him, and Concubine Jin was there. Thinking of this, he glanced at the rockery where Yuying was hiding.
Yinzhen stood very straight, as if afraid that others might not see the bruises on his face. Among so many people, he was the only one with bruises on his face. I wonder what he was so proud of?
The fifth prince Yinqi and the seventh prince Yinyou huddled together, with a dazed Yinxiang following behind them, as if they didn't know why they suddenly started fighting.
Yinsi was no longer hiding at this time, but stood in front, protecting the ninth prince Yin'er and the tenth prince Yin behind him.
Behind him, Yinzhen lowered his head, afraid that he would be seen laughing secretly. Perhaps only Yinzhen looked calm, because he did not hold back at all, relying on the fact that he was stronger than the others, and did not help anyone, secretly tripping Yinzhi here and hitting Yinzhen there, which made him feel relieved.
Finally, it was the Crown Prince Yinreng. Seeing Kangxi looking at him, he did not hide, but just stared at Kangxi. He was tall and slender, and had an extraordinary demeanor. If he were placed somewhere else, Kangxi would inevitably praise him.
However, seeing that he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, Kangxi's face turned completely black and he said coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Yuying had seen enough of the show and naturally had no reason to let everyone bear Kangxi's anger, so she walked out from behind the rockery.
"Let me explain it to the Emperor."
Yuying walked out slowly from behind the rockery, and everyone who was frightened by Kangxi's dark face breathed a sigh of relief.
Kangxi looked in the direction of the voice.
Yuying wore a brightly colored padded jacket today, which made her look very pretty, creating a unique scene in this bleak late autumn.
Kangxi hadn't seen Yuying for a long time. When he saw Yuying coming out from behind the rockery, he realized that today's incident was a collaboration between Yuying and her group of troublesome sons in order to force him to show up.
Logically, Kangxi should be angry. After all, this was a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it was such a clumsy scam. But when Kangxi saw Yuying standing there without any grudges, looking at him sideways, he suddenly found that even the anger in his heart before he came here seemed to have subsided.
He looked at Yuying, unwilling to take his eyes off her. This was the longest time they had been apart since they met.
Aying seemed to have lost weight and her clothes were too thin.
Could it be that the people serving below are not doing their best?
Kangxi frowned and looked at Yuying worriedly.
"Aying." Kangxi seemed to squeeze these two short words out of his throat. "Why are you here?"
Yuying smiled, lifted her skirt and walked to Kangxi, jokingly saying, "Isn't the emperor aware of why I'm here? What's more..." Yuying turned her head to look at the princes who were so obedient in front of Kangxi, "If I don't come out, I'm afraid someone will scold me in their hearts."
Yuying made it clear to Kangxi that she was the one taking the lead in today's affairs.
Kangxi then turned his attention back to his group of rebellious sons. Kangxi said coldly: "Noble Concubine Jin is making a fuss. Are you guys going to join in the fun? Have you read all the sage books that I taught you to read?"
Yuying was still smiling just now, but now she was unhappy after hearing what Kangxi said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about! If you hadn't avoided me, would I have come up with such a bad idea? You have to take half the responsibility for what happened today!"
Yuying glared at Kangxi, as if she was going to make trouble for him if Kangxi dared not to take responsibility.
Kangxi looked at this and then looked over there.
Caught in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he didn't want to lose face as the emperor's father in front of his sons, but on the other hand, he really didn't dare to disobey Yuying.
"Aying..." Kangxi hesitated to speak.
Seeing Kangxi's angry but unaware expression, Yuying was amused again, "Your Majesty, please come back to Qingxi Book House with me? I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I miss you."
Yuying grabbed Kangxi's sleeve and said soft words to him. How could Kangxi be reluctant to refuse and was taken away by Yuying.
Liang Jiugong was about to catch up, but he saw Kangxi making a gesture to him behind Yuying's back. On the other side, Yuying, who also had ulterior motives, also gestured to Yinreng and the others to run away quickly.
