The Fourth Master's Dog

His mother just said she wanted to avenge him, but the next second she asked the servants to cover his mouth and stop him from speaking. He is very unhappy now.

When Concubine Yi saw the Ninth Prince throwing a tantrum, she laughed uncontrollably and reached out to touch the Ninth Prince's head. When her hand touched the frizzy hair at the back, her eyes became dim.

The damn Fourth Prince, he still thought that he had Queen Tong as his backer, so he dared to treat her little nine like this.

The Ninth Prince became even angrier, his little face turned completely red with anger, and he waved his two fat paws angrily.

His mother didn't come to coax him, but just laughed at him. He was really angry this time.

Concubine Yi looked at the little girl in front of her, puffing her cheeks in anger, her eyes red with anger, and she was about to cry again, so she quickly comforted her gently.

"Mother didn't mean to shut you up, but on your father's territory, if you say something he doesn't like, he might not punish the Fourth Prince, and instead have a bad impression of you."

"When we return to my mother's palace, you can tell me whatever you want to say, and I won't stop you."

Concubine Yi squatted down and gently held the Ninth Prince in her arms. She wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, her tone full of doting.

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge Xiaojiu. Even if your father lets him go, I won't let him go."

The Ninth Prince raised his head from Concubine Yi's arms and spoke hurriedly.

"Mother, there's also that dog. You can't let it go. If it weren't for that dog, how could my son become like this?"

"Mother, look at my son. How can he go out like this? They will all laugh at him."

Concubine Yi's face was still full of kindness, and her voice was still as gentle as water, but where the Ninth Prince couldn't see, her eyes became fierce.

"No, no one in this palace dares to say anything about Xiaojiu."

"If anyone says anything about Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, tell mother immediately. Mother and your father will definitely take care of it for you and punish them severely."

The Ninth Prince then slowly began to smile, and he acted coquettishly in Yibin's arms, shouting that he must teach the Fourth Prince a lesson and not let him off easily.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and knelt down to pay his respects. Seeing that the Emperor did not say anything, he tactfully lowered his head without making any sound.

Kangxi, who was sitting at the upper seat, could not see the expression of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen who was lowering his head. Looking at his motionless son, he became even more angry. He picked up the tea at hand and threw it hard at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

Tea and porcelain pieces were spilled everywhere, and a lot of them splashed onto the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. A few sharp pieces of porcelain scratched the side of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's face and chin, leaving a few tiny red marks.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen did not dare to dodge at all. He knelt there straight with his head lowered, making his back look even straighter.

Kangxi sat high up on the dragon throne, looking expressionlessly at the fourth prince Yinzhen who was kneeling below. His eyes were cold and deep, and he exuded an invisible pressure.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was kneeling below, couldn't help but feel difficulty breathing. He pursed his lips tightly and lowered his head even more.

Kangxi's voice was low and powerful, yet without a trace of warmth.

"Fourth Prince, why did you cut off your ninth brother's braid?"

"Don't I usually teach you to be friendly and respectful to your brothers and sisters and to care for your brothers and sisters?"

"You are almost old enough to get married, and yet you are still bullying Xiaojiu who is not even six years old."

"For a beast, he neglected his own hands and feet, became irritable, and his moods were unstable."

As the Fourth Prince Yinzhen listened to the increasingly harsh words, his pine-like back slowly bent down and he bit his lower lip tightly. Even though it was bloodshot, he didn't feel the pain.

He raised his head with a stubborn look in his eyes, looking straight at Kangxi who was sitting above him.

"Father Emperor, why don't you investigate the cause of the incident and just admit your son's guilt?"

"If it wasn't for my ninth brother, who hurt Duofu, my son's foster child, for no reason, how could I possibly cut his braids?"

Kangxi, who was sitting at the top, was so angry that he laughed. His laughter was particularly obvious in the quiet Hall of Mental Cultivation.

His face flushed slightly with anger, his chest heaved slightly, and his eyes were full of anger as he looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen who was kneeling below him. Seeing him unrepentant and still making excuses, the anger in his heart became even more fueled.

"You are unrepentant, you make up your mind, you are rash, and you are moody. You need to change your temper for me."

"Go out and kneel outside. When you admit your mistakes, you can come in."

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen looked at the fragments on the ground, said nothing more, straightened up, crawled up from the ground, walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation without saying a word, and knelt outside.

Liang Jiugong, who was guarding the door, heard the Emperor's angry voice from inside, tightened his legs, and tried to calm himself down.

Liang Jiugong looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was kneeling at the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, his face full of a mask of pain, and spoke earnestly in a low voice.

"Fourth Prince, why don't you listen to me? Go in and admit your mistakes, let His Majesty know that you are repentant. There is no way you can confront His Majesty head-on."

Before Liang Jiugong could say anything, Kangxi in the palace angrily ordered Liang Jiugong.

"Liang Jiugong, send someone to kill that dog for me. I don't want to see this dog in the palace again."

Liang Jiugong hadn't taken any action yet, and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen became anxious and shouted anxiously.

"Father, this is all my son's fault. If you are unhappy, I will accept any punishment you give me."

"Duofu is innocent, please withdraw your order, Father."

"Please take back your order, Father. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt my ninth brother."

"It's all my son's fault."

Kangxi did not change his immediate will just because Fourth Prince Yinzhen admitted his mistake and repented, and his tone remained frighteningly cold.

"Liang Jiugong, you little dog slave, I can't order you anymore."

When Liang Jiugong heard the order, he did not look at the ugly face of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and hurriedly walked towards Chengqian Palace with his men.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen climbed up from the ground and tried to chase after him, but the guards in the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity, upon hearing the order, had already pinned the Fourth Prince down and prevented him from moving.

Without the Emperor's order, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen will have to kneel here forever.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen could no longer conceal his anxiety on his face, his eyes turned red and he shouted loudly.

"Father, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault. Duofu is innocent. Duofu is the only thing my mother left for me."

"My son begs the Emperor to forgive me this time. I will be a good brother and respectful brother in the future. I will never do anything that the Emperor hates."

No matter how the Fourth Prince Yinzhen begged for mercy outside Kangxi's Hall of Mental Cultivation, Kangxi inside did not change his mind.
