Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Misfortunes never come alone; blessings never come in pairs!

In October of the 50th year of the Kangxi reign, first a case of cheating in the imperial examinations in Jiangnan that aroused public outrage broke out, and then the drinking party case from two years ago was also brought up again.

"Detain all those involved in the banquet case pending trial. Remove Tuoheqi from his post as commander of the infantry and have him sent to the clan court. Have the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court try the case together. No mistakes can be made!"

A few days later, he issued another decree, "Ordering the Minister of Revenue Zhang Penghe and the Vice Minister He Shou to rush to Yangzhou to jointly investigate the Jiangnan imperial examination fraud case with the Governor of Jiangsu Zhang Boxing and the Governor-General of Liangjiang Galin."

As soon as the two edicts were issued, the capital was in turmoil and the Prince's faction and the Eighth Prince's faction almost came to a head.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Crown Prince's position as heir to the throne was becoming increasingly unstable, and His Majesty's attitude had clearly softened.

Then gradually, the Prince's party fell into inferiority, while the Eighth Prince's party quickly gained the upper hand. However, the Eighth Prince did not remain proud for long, as something happened soon that made him heartbroken!

——On November 20th, the 50th year of the Kangxi reign, Concubine Liang passed away.

Everyone knew that Concubine Liang didn't want to live anymore. She refused to see a doctor or take any medicine, and she let her relatively healthy body run down. Now she was just running out of energy and couldn't hold on any longer.

"Order the Ministry of Rites to hold funerals for Concubine Liang, and follow the old rules for Concubine Ping!"

Kangxi was not sad about this, nor did he vent his anger on others. He just felt a little sad: Things have changed, old people have passed away one by one, memories will eventually fade away, and I am indeed old!

Looking at the wrinkled and gray-haired old man in the mirror, no matter how scared he was, he had to admit one thing - his days were numbered and his situation was deteriorating rapidly.

"So, Baocheng, are you so eager for me to die? Which is more important, the throne or me as your father?"

Kangxi kept talking to himself, hiding all his fear and sadness in his small study room so that no one could see him for a while.

Afterwards, the Eighth Prince Yinsi cried uncontrollably, and after a long period of mourning, he looked emaciated.

He really regretted it!

What he regretted was not competing for the throne, but that he did not become his mother's support earlier, which led to his mother committing suicide in disguise in order not to implicate him.

Perhaps he regretted too much, he could not help but complain to Guo Luoluo, "Mother has had such a hard life these years, she has never been able to enjoy happiness! Hey, why don't you come and persuade her when you go to the palace to pay respects?..."

"I persuade? How can I persuade? Yinsi, you, as a son, don't show up, and ask me, a daughter-in-law who is not very close to you, to persuade. How can you say that?" The existence of Li mother and son has always been a thorn in Guo Luoluo's throat. The anger and resentment suppressed in her heart broke out after the funeral.

"Everyone knows that my mother had already made up her mind to die two years ago. You are such a clear-sighted person, but you told me that you didn't see it. Yinsi, who are you kidding? You are just hoping that the emperor will have mercy on you because of the pain of losing his mother. Ha, you are dreaming. I have never seen how the emperor has shown you any favors!"

These words were like a slap in Yinsi's face and also touched the deepest part of his heart.

"Shuhui, so you look down on me like this! My father, my ninth brother, my tenth brother, my mother, they all left me one by one, and now even you want to distance yourself from me?"

"That sounds nice! I have worked so hard for so many years, but what did I get in return? My husband was taken away by another woman, and the huge Eighth Prince Mansion had to be handed over to a bastard. Oh, no, now there are two bastards. Yinsi, Yinsi, tell me, what else can I do? No matter how hard I struggle, I am still just making things easier for others!"

Thinking of the complaints she had just heard, Guo Luoluo blurted out, "You said that I was drifting away from you. It's obviously you who changed your mind! What did you mean by that just now? Don't you really know? I worked hard to make arrangements for you in the palace and improve your reputation and situation, but all I got was a complaint from you. Do you think I should be disappointed?"

Yinsi was such a decisive person that he slapped himself twice as soon as he finished speaking, and said pitifully and affectionately: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have said anything careless, Shuhui, believe me, I was just sad for a moment, and I was afraid that you would leave me, so I couldn't help but worry about gains and losses."

Seeing that these words had no effect, he hardened his heart and knelt down to apologize, "Shuhui, if you forgive me this time, you will be the only one left by my side, please don't leave me." The Prince An's Mansion is the only life-saving straw he can grasp now, and he absolutely does not want to have any estrangement with Guo Luoluo.

A man's knees are made of gold. Guo Luoluo was frightened by this action. "Hurry up, Yinsi, what are you doing? Get up!"

"No, I don't have the face to ask for your forgiveness. I just hope that you can stay by my side as always, and grow old with me! As for those bastards, you can register any one you want and change the imperial certificate. This way, you will have someone to rely on in the future."

"Yinsi, you are a prince. You don't have to kneel to anyone except your father! I am just a woman in the harem, and I am your wife. Please don't kneel, okay..."

Guo Luoluo cried as she pulled him up. Seeing that she was going nowhere, she could only grit her teeth and give in. "Okay, I promise you. Get up quickly! As for illegitimate sons or not, I don't care, and I don't want to register them under my name..."

"Okay, okay, whatever you want is up to you. You are the mistress of the house, how can a concubine or bastard surpass you?"

"Then you should go to Li's room less often, and don't give Hongwang and his friends any more than they deserve. I don't want to see these people. Send them far away, okay?"

Yinsi held her in his arms and coaxed her softly, "Okay, all up to you. Let them live farther away so they don't get in your way!" Behind the sweet words, his eyes were cold.

Afterwards, there was quite a commotion in the Eighth Prince's mansion, and the Eighth Prince and his wife reconciled again.

The love between husband and wife is a wonderful thing to talk about, but no one knows the calculations and compromises hidden behind it!

The death of Concubine Liang did not have any impact on the current situation, nor did it bring any improvement to the situation of the Eighth Prince. Her short fifty years have become a topic of conversation after dinner. Isn't it sad?

At least Concubine De felt very sad, but she took it as a warning and decided to take care of herself from the bottom of her heart.

"Zhu Xi, go get the imperial physician to come over and check my pulse. I am old now, and I really cannot do without taking care of myself."

If she passed away before her eldest son ascended the throne, she would never be able to rest in peace!
