After resting for these days, Hongxi felt better.

When Hongxi saw Emperor Kangxi, he walked over naturally.

"Grandfather."

Emperor Kangxi asked him, "Hongxi, what did you and Hongchang do while I was away?"

Hongxi knew what Emperor Kangxi was asking.

This incident caused great harm to his young mind.

He was talking about this with Empress Yi Zu a few days ago, and Empress Yi Zu told him that if it was Hong Chang who asked to go see the big fish, then he was not wrong, he was just trying to fulfill his brother's wish.

"Grandfather."

Hongxi performed the ceremony in a proper manner.

"That day, my brother Hongchang saw my grandson's carp-shaped cake and said he wanted to go see the big fish."

"My grandson just wanted to fulfill his brother's wish, so when his brother wanted to go to the pond to watch the fish, my grandson followed him."

"I just didn't expect that my grandson... my grandson..."

"When my grandson wasn't noticing, my brother jumped!"

Yixiu, who was standing aside, remembered another thing.

Not everything a child says is true.

Back then, she was framed by Zhen Huan, and Longyue told Yinzhen that "The Empress Dowager pushed Empress Xi."

But she and Zhen Huan knew exactly what the truth was.

She pushed Zhen Huan back then because she was completely plotted against by Zhen Huan.

She just touched Zhen Huan lightly and she flew out.

It’s just that everyone thinks that children’s words are innocent and it is impossible for children to tell lies.

Longyue's words sentenced her to death.

This became the beginning of the real estrangement between the emperor and empress.

How much of what Hongxi said is true?

Yixiu reserved his opinion.

But from the perspective of Emperor Kangxi.

It was because Hongchang himself was too playful that he encountered such an accident.

But after all, Hongchang was too young and Hongxi was older. As the older brother, he really shouldn't take his younger brother to such a dangerous place.

Emperor Kangxi also had to give an explanation to Yinzhen.

He said to Hongxi: "As an elder brother, you should care for your younger brothers and not go to dangerous places. I have also told you this."

Emperor Kangxi never called himself "I" in front of Hongxi.

His tone was quite serious at this time.

Hongxi pursed his lips and was about to cry out loud.

"Go and copy the Analects a hundred times."

Emperor Kangxi finally announced the punishment for Hongxi.

Yinzhen wanted to laugh when he heard this.

What's the big deal about just copying the Analects? This is much lighter than the harm suffered by Hongchang.

However, he also understood that Emperor Kangxi's allowing Hongxi to copy the Analects was already the biggest concession he had made.

Emperor Kangxi picked it up high and put it down gently.

Naturally, no one else dared to say anything.

Yinzhen bent down deeply.

"Thank you, my son, for your grace."

Emperor Kangxi left.

If it is soft, it will seem as if it collapses all of a sudden.

Yinzhen ordered someone to send her back to the Prince's Mansion.

Yixiu and Defei had spent a lot of time with Hongchang over the past few days, so Yinzhen asked them to go back and rest.

He sat in front of Hongchang's bed, thinking a lot.

He said to Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng, do you think this is a good thing for me? Am I being too cruel in thinking this way?"

Su Peisheng presented a cup of hot tea.

"Lord Beile, this is indeed a good thing for the Fourth Beile Mansion."

"It's not a good thing for Hongchang's father."

Yinzhen looked at Su Peisheng and said, "You are becoming more and more courageous."

Su Peisheng bowed his waist and said, "My Lord, it's not that I'm brave, it's because you care about the safety of the people in the Prince's Mansion and you also care about the little prince, so you have such a conflicting feeling."

Yinzhen sighed slightly, "You understand me better than anyone else."

Su Peisheng said: "My Lord, Prince Hongchang has at least saved his life. If he becomes an idiot, he will have nothing to worry about. As for the rest, my Lord will also bless him with a life of wealth and glory."

"Too."

"Perhaps he is happier this way than most people."

“It’s hard to say whether this is a happy or unhappy thing.”

"It's a blessing in disguise." Su Peisheng added.

Yinzhen glanced at Hongchang again and said, "Let's go."

Su Peisheng was right. This incident solved his urgent problem, and he no longer had to worry about what Rouze had done being discovered.

Even if others discovered something, they would keep silent when they thought that this matter was related to the prince.

----------------------------

Yinzhen did not go to Longjing Pavilion to comfort Rouze. He needed to go to Yongkang Pavilion. He needed Yixiu to be with him.

Yixiu had already asked someone to prepare a table of wine and food.

"Shiro is tired, take a rest and eat something."

Ever since Yixiu became pregnant, whenever Yinzhen came to Yixiu's place, the table would be filled with his favorite dishes.

So Yinzhen liked coming here more and more.

Yixiu said nothing, but served a bowl of Yinzhen's favorite sour bamboo shoots and old duck soup.

After drinking the soup, Yinzhen never mentioned Hongchang again.

Yixiu knew Yinzhen very well.

He seems to be affectionate, but in fact he is cold-hearted and even vicious.

At this moment, he might be secretly happy that something bad happened to Hongchang.

He came back but didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Yixiu guessed that Yinzhen had wanted to take action against Hongchang for a long time, but because he was his own son, he still couldn't accept it psychologically.

Yixiu thought about the fate of other princes in her previous life.

Just like Mr. Ba who lives next door.

Yinzhen had been so good to him.

But after they became political enemies, he not only targeted the Eighth Master, but even the Eighth Concubine was not spared, and he reduced her to ashes.

Couldn't he just remain unmoved by watching Zhen Huan, whom he loved deeply, kneeling on the ground and begging him to spare Zhen Yuandao's life with cold eyes?

Yinzhen, he has never been a good person.
