"Old Eight still has a solution. Mother thought you would be implicated this time, but she didn't expect him to actually let you return safely. In this case, Mother will fulfill her promise and let the Nalan family support him."
"Mother thought it was Old Eight who saved her son?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. It was the fourth brother who saved my son, and the eighth brother was the one who harmed my son. If it weren't for the fourth brother, my son would have ended up like the second brother today."
"What did you say?"
Concubine Hui couldn't believe her ears. How could it be done by the Eighth Prince?
If he really did it, how could Lady Liang dare to ask for it in front of him? Did she think she was stupid?
"Mother, you were deceived by Lao Ba and his mother, and I was also deceived by Lao Ba's appearance. I actually believed that he wholeheartedly supported me, his eldest brother.
I never thought he had such a wicked ambition, actually wanting to overthrow his son and then fight for that position himself. Fortunately, the fourth brother arrived in time with the news, otherwise his son would really have to go to the clan house to accompany the second brother.
"It was that idiot Fourth Brother who saved you. You must thank him very much. No, I will send some gifts to Prince Yong's Mansion to express my gratitude."
"Okay, there's one more thing I need to tell you. That scoundrel, the fourth son, had the Emperor fine his son three years' salary as punishment. He's about to go off to war, so I'm relying on you to take care of the mansion."
Concubine Hui immediately restrained her expression. This stupid son wanted her to help him support the family for three years? How could this be possible? She was so old, how could she help her son support the family?
"It's getting late. You should hurry out of the palace and pack up to leave. Mother won't interfere in your family affairs. I believe your wife will take good care of the family."
Yinzhi curled his lips and left the palace. Time waits for no one, so he had better leave first, so as not to implicate the fourth prince.
Today, the fourth brother saved me from danger. If he is hurt in the future, I will do my best to protect him.
After Yinzhi left the palace, Concubine Hui went to Concubine Liang in a rage and gave her a severe beating.
He almost harmed her son and tried to confuse right and wrong in front of her in an attempt to gain the support of her Nalan family. He was simply courting death.
"Since Lady Liang is well again, please come to the main hall to serve me as usual."
"Mother?"
"Oh yes, judging by my memory, Old Eight has already left the palace. He almost caused my son to be imprisoned, and now he is confined to the Prince's Mansion. You won't be able to see him in the short term.
This time, the longer my son is away fighting, the longer you will not be able to see him. I wonder if a person as thoughtful as him can accept this."
Lady Liang moved her mouth in a low voice but didn't say anything.
She thought that her son would be able to show up in front of Kangxi this time, and she would be able to be promoted to concubine because of her son's status, and then move out to become the master of a palace. She never expected that not only did her son's plan fail to be seen through, but it also implicated herself.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will serve you well. I hope you won't vent your anger on Old Eight."
"Take your anger out on me? Ha!"
Concubine Hui had already planned to give Concubine Liang a hard time before Yinzhi returned safely. Concubine Hui was not a good person. If anyone dared to harm her son, she would definitely make Concubine Liang live a few years shorter.
Inside the Yiku Palace, Yinzhen sat dejectedly on a stool without saying a word, while Yin? paced back and forth anxiously beside him, not knowing how to comfort his brother.
"Nine Brother, how about I beat Eighth Brother up to vent your anger? Don't do that. It will really make me uncomfortable."
Yinsi borrowed nearly 200,000 taels of silver from the national treasury to form a clique for personal gain. Although it was clearly he who borrowed the silver, the person who borrowed the silver became Yin'er.
The fact that Yinzhen had an unreasonable debt of 200,000 yuan was not a big deal. He could just pay back the extra money.
But the people behind everything Yinsi did in the outside world were Yin'er and Yin'e. If the truth came to light, they would definitely be the ones to be punished.
"Don't worry, Tenth Brother. Fourth Brother just sent me a message saying that you will go to the war with Big Brother. You should go back and tell your sister-in-law that everything is fine here."
"Is that all right? My brother told you not to trust Bage so much before. His eyes were full of calculations, but you refused to listen. Now look at what dirty things he did!"
"Alright, Tenth Brother, go back and pack your things and say goodbye to your wife. Ninth Brother, Yi'er Niang will tell him about this. Time waits for no one, so don't let Yinzhen down."
When Yinzhen was mentioned, Yinlu and Yin? had unnatural smiles on their faces.
They had targeted him because of Yinsi's words, but they didn't expect that the one who saved them from the dire straits was the brother they had targeted.
"Mother, I was wrong."
"It's good that you know you were wrong. Take a good rest today. Tomorrow, go apologize to your fourth brother and ask for his opinion on these matters.
Mother has always known that he is intelligent and has affection for his brothers, so he will definitely not make things difficult for you."
"Yes, son, I understand."
"Mother Yi, since Ninth Brother is fine now, I will leave first. Ninth Brother, please remember to thank Fourth Brother on behalf of your younger brother. When your younger brother returns, I will go to his house to thank him in person."
"Okay, Tenth Brother, you must return safely."
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi looked at his son who was constantly frowning, his eyes full of interest.
"What's with that expression on your face? What's in that memorial that makes you frown so often?"
"Father, it's time for me to leave the palace. Honghui and Hongyan's homework for today is still waiting for me to check.
Most of these memorials are about greetings. I think it would be a waste of time to read them any more. Why don’t you just read them slowly on your own? You are used to reading them anyway.”
Kangxi glared at him and then got down to business.
"You've seen how sought-after the position of Crown Prince is. Why are you running off to the other courtyard to cause trouble? Don't you plan to join?"
"Didn't I say that all thunder and rain are the grace of the emperor? My brothers are all excellent, and the position of crown prince must belong to the most capable. Of course, you can give it to whoever you want. I will definitely support you wholeheartedly."
"Don't play dumb. I'm asking you what you think. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well...if I say I don't have any ideas, will the Emperor think his son is useless?"
"What do you think?"
"Of course, my son has some ideas, but after reading the memorials for a while, he decided to give up. It's a waste of time to read these memorials every day. It's better to spend more time with my wife and children in the mansion.
Besides, being an emperor sounds good when it is said to others. As far as his son is concerned, this is a job that requires him to get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs.
My son is still young and it is not suitable for him to get up early and go to bed late. Father Huang, you are used to it. You should do it for two more years."
"You wicked son, how dare you despise me? Get out of here!!!"
"Okay, Father Huang, you've worked hard. I'll be leaving now."
Yinzhen ran away, leaving behind Kangxi with a smile on his face and Liang Jiugong who had been watching the show from behind.
