Rouze's cheeks turned slightly red. She did not look at Wang Ruofu. Instead, she glanced at Prince Yong shyly, then quickly looked away, as if her eyes were on fire.

"I was afraid that Prince Yong would be angry, so I denied it."

"Is this your answer?" Kangxi asked in a cold tone. He had seen this kind of tactics many times in the harem. Normally he could just pretend that nothing happened, but this matter not only involved the royal family's prestige and reputation.

There are also complex relationships between rulers, subjects, and fathers and sons.

He really didn't like his fourth son, but at the same time he was very satisfied with him, thinking that he was the most capable son after the deposed crown prince. But now he seemed to be greatly disappointed.

Then he looked at Wang Ruofu again: "Fourth Brother's Wife, tell me, what should we do about this matter between your sister and the Fourth Brother?"

"What should we do? She has ruined her reputation by being so lowly as to lower herself. The Dong E family doesn't want her anymore, so they want to force her into our palace. Could it be that our palace is a place that collects rags?" Wang Ruofu cursed angrily.

"If you ask me, a fickle woman like her deserves to be thrown into a pig cage and die! It will also save the reputation of the other women in the family."

Fei Yanggu, who had been kneeling silently, had a slight flicker in his eyes when he heard this. It was obvious that the emperor would not allow Rouze to marry Prince Yong. If so, it would be better to sacrifice the emperor to save his own.

"That's a good idea." Kangxi nodded indifferently, his tone steady but with an intimidating tone that was hard to question. "How about we do it this way?"

Rouze's breathing was choked, and she couldn't bear it for a moment and suddenly fainted.

"Rou Ze! Wake up, don't scare me!" Prince Yong anxiously went forward and hugged Rou Ze, pinching her philtrum again and again before she finally opened her eyes.

"Silang..." Rouze was not very clear-headed at this time. She was frightened. The pig cage and Kangxi's cold tone echoed in her mind.

Her body couldn't stop shaking. She lay in Prince Yong's arms regardless of the occasion, weak and crying: "Silang, I don't want to die, please save me, Silang!"

Kangxi's frown was so tight that it could pinch a mosquito to death. He was so careless that his dislike for Rouze increased.

Wang Ruofu was also frightened by Kangxi's calm and extremely cold tone. She only said harsh words, but she didn't really mean to die if she was gentle.

She hesitated and tried, "If not, let her go to the temple to become a nun and practice Buddhism, and spend the rest of her life with the Buddha."

"Oh?" Kangxi looked at Wang Ruofu with interest and stroked his beard. "Now you don't hold a grudge against her for trying to steal your husband?"

Wang Ruofu looked at Prince Yong and Rouze hugging each other in public, and curled her lips: "As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. This matter is not her fault alone."

"After all, she just dressed up and went to the palace garden to pretend to meet the prince by chance. Her crime is not punishable by death. If the prince had not been blinded by lust and wanted to take my wife away, there would not have been such a mess today."

After listening to the first half, Kangxi became more satisfied with Wang Ruofu's character. He felt that she was not only honest and straightforward, loyal to the imperial power, but also kind-hearted.

But after hearing the second half, his face darkened again. Sometimes being too honest is not a good thing.

He is a pretty and smart kid, but how could he say such unpleasant things? Scolding his son in front of him, this is just being honest and straightforward, and he doesn't take him seriously.

Kangxi was a very protective person at heart. He cared about and was very demanding about the relationship between father and son. He would not tolerate his son being disloyal or dishonest to him, and he would not tolerate his son being bullied by anyone other than himself.

So he had particularly complicated feelings towards Wang Ruofu.

After a moment of silence, he caught a glimpse of Lao Si and Rou Ze still hugging each other, and slammed the table in anger: "How long are you going to hug each other? Do you still know how to write the word shame?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong hastily let go of his hand and kowtowed to Kangxi, saying, "Father, your Majesty, my love for Rouze is just like your love for Empress Hesheli. Our love is deep and lasting, and I hope your Majesty will grant my wish."

When these words were spoken, Kangxi couldn't help but be moved. Apart from the affection between him and Hesheli, he knew more that his son was truly in love with Rouze.

He is not only the emperor, but also a benevolent father. It's just a woman, so what's wrong with fulfilling the fourth brother's wish?

"Empress Hesheli would never do such a shameless thing as seducing her brother-in-law." Wang Ruofu muttered disdainfully.

Kangxi: “…” You are right.

Although the tender affection between father and son was broken, Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was gloomy and unclear, and he said with a warm face: "Then what status do you plan to give her?"

Prince Yong: "I wish to marry Rouze as my first wife."

bang——

Kangxi suddenly pushed the table in front of him over, strode angrily to Prince Yong, and kicked him down with ten times more force than Wang Ruofu, pointing at his nose and cursing: "Evil creature!"

No one had expected this sudden change. Except for Wang Ruofu who glared at Prince Yong with a common hatred, the others either stepped forward to grab Kangxi's trouser legs to beg for mercy, or just stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

"Huang Ama..."

"I and Yixiu have given you enough respect, but you are shameless and act recklessly!" Kangxi looked down at him with a look of extreme disappointment.

"I think you are not only moody and unpredictable, but also fickle and treacherous. Yixiu is not wrong about you. You are not worthy of being a son or a husband."

Prince Yong looked pale and bloodless. He remembered the day when Kangxi scolded him for being moody. Since then, he has been taciturn, doing his job attentively and never showing his emotions in front of others easily.

Are all these years of hard work nothing in the eyes of the Emperor?

However, Kangxi was unwilling to continue talking nonsense with them, for fear that he would be so angry that he would die prematurely, which would be a real joke.

"Li Dequan, pass on my order. Fei Yanggu failed to discipline his daughter and allowed her to have sex with the prince. He shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and a ten-year salary deduction."

Fei Yanggu breathed a sigh of relief, at least the official was still there, and kowtowed, "I accept the order, thank you for your grace."

Kangxi looked at the frightened Concubine De coldly and said, "Since you don't take the imperial concubine's auspicious clothes seriously and secretly lend them to your niece, you can't be a concubine anymore. You will be demoted to a noble lady immediately and confined to Yonghe Palace. No one is allowed to visit you."

"Your servant... accepts the order." Defei felt completely hopeless. Although she had thought of this kind of punishment a long time ago, she still couldn't bear it when the time came.

It took her many years of hard planning to climb to the position of imperial concubine. Now that she has returned to the time before liberation, she doesn't know how much ridicule she will face from her old rival, Concubine Yi.

Wang Ruofu was beaming with joy, feeling indescribably proud in her heart. She was about to flatter Kangxi for his wisdom, but she heard Kangxi suddenly change the subject.

"And you!" Kangxi suddenly looked at Wang Ruofu. Seeing her shocked and stunned expression, he felt that the anger that had been pent up for a day had dissipated a lot. "You are unfaithful to your husband and you beat your husband. Do you think I will let you go?"

"me……"

--split line--

I don't allow you to look down on the lady. This is called being wise but appearing foolish. Fools have good fortune. Sincerity is always the most powerful killer weapon!
