Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

[The 1,000 words I owed in the previous chapter have been made up. If you haven't read it, you can check it out in the previous chapter. ]

The Fourth Prince was ready to endure the Emperor's rage and argue with the Eighth Prince and the others until the cause and effect of the matter were clarified.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi was not angry after hearing this. Instead, his face was just as I guessed.

Look, the fourth brother even tried to shirk responsibility by emphasizing that he fed the baby the childless soup, as if he would have succeeded in this attempt if he hadn't fed the baby the childless soup.

Kangxi then asked, "Li Jingui, is what the Fourth Prince said true?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, I did take the childless soup sent by the Fourth Prince. Eunuch Su beside the Fourth Prince personally watched me drink it."

Although Li Jingui was a little nervous, she was still calm.

She replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "As for this child, it is undoubtedly the Fourth Prince's. I don't know why the childless soup is ineffective."

"If you say it is, then it is. Who knows if you had an unclear relationship with any prince afterwards." Wang Ruofu glanced at Li Jingui with disgust, and then glared at the Fourth Prince.

"..." The Fourth Prince felt a chill on his neck and tried desperately to wink at Wang Ruofu - if you want to settle the score with him, get the outsiders out first!

Unfortunately, his eyes were almost cramped from winking, and Wang Ruofu didn't understand. Instead, she became angrier the more she looked at him.

The nose was arched, the corners of the mouth were turned down, and the beautiful almond-shaped eyes were now tilted up to the temples. The hands that were originally placed in front of the knees due to kneeling were clenched, and even the veins were exposed.

At this time, Li Jingui spoke up to attract Wang Ruofu's attention back, "Why do you say that, Fourth Lady? The prince is of noble status, how can a lowly palace maid like me associate with him?"

The Fourth Prince exhaled imperceptibly.

Kangxi also taught her, "That's right. Fourth son's wife, you can't make random accusations when it comes to the princes and grandchildren. You keep saying that this baby is from the eighth or ninth son, but what evidence do you have?"

Wang Ruofu told the truth: "No."

Kangxi: “…” With your attitude, I thought you were throwing the evidence directly in my face.

The Fourth Prince and Nian Shilan looked stunned for a moment, and when they reacted they were so angry that they stepped forward to cover Wang Ruofu’s mouth - if you can’t speak, don’t speak!

After finally getting into a favorable situation, do we have to turn it into an unfavorable situation? !

Everyone's attention was focused on Wang Ruofu, and no one noticed the cunning flash in Li Jingui's eyes after hearing that Wang Ruofu had no evidence.

She protected her unrevealed belly and bowed, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can investigate it thoroughly. I have a clear conscience."

"Of course we need to investigate thoroughly."

Before Kangxi could speak, Wang Ruofu spoke first.

She straightened her back instantly, raised her index finger with the handkerchief in her hand and pointed it at Li Jingui, saying, "I don't believe that the prince would favor you just because he drank a little wine, and it's even more strange that you got pregnant after just one drink."

"Now it has become a golden nugget that even the infertility soup could not get rid of."

"Why, you are carrying the reincarnation of an emperor in your belly, you are so lucky. This is just a lie to fool ghosts, it can only fool stupid bastards."

Kangxi: “…” Regarding the fact that I was scolded because of the fourth son.

Fourth Prince: “…” I’m used to it.

Nian Shilan looked left and right, oh, luckily she was not the only one who believed it.

"Li Dequan, send someone to investigate immediately. The royal bloodline must not be confused." Kangxi ordered.

"Yes." Li Dequan took the order and left.

While waiting, Kangxi kept a sullen face and rubbed his thumb, index and middle fingers on the table.

Li Jingui had been working in the palace until the day of the family banquet, when she was transferred to the Old Summer Palace by the Fourth Prince for custody.

It would be easy to check whether he had ever met any prince other than the Fourth Prince in the palace. There was almost no possibility of falsehood. As for the Old Summer Palace, the Fourth Prince himself knew it best.

Less than an incense stick of time later, Li Dequan came back with an unclear expression on his face. When he passed by Wang Ruofu, he glanced at the Fourth Prince with a little pity in his eyes.

The Fourth Prince's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He looked at Wang Ruofu, who was staring at Li Dequan and waiting for the result. His heart beat faster and faster.

Li Dequan: "Li Jingui has indeed never had any contact with other princes."

Wang Ruofu jumped up with a whoosh, and the Fourth Prince also took several steps to the side on his knees as a muscle reaction, and his skillful movements made Kangxi feel distressed and laugh.

But the child is the fourth son's, which is better than someone really framing him and making a fuss about the heir to the throne. As soon as Kangxi's heart dropped, he heard Li Dequan take a deep breath and continued.

"But I found out that Li Jingui had a lot of contact with a young eunuch."

Wang Ruofu took her foot back and asked, "What do you mean? Eunuch?"

"Eunuch Li, are you kidding? No matter how often these rootless people come and go, what does it have to do with this matter?"

Everyone was also puzzled. What was the big deal about the eunuch and the palace maid having close contact? Could it make Li Jingui pregnant?

"Yes, Eunuch Li, I and that little eunuch are only close because we are from the same hometown," Li Jingui argued.

At this point, Li Jingui's eyes showed some panic, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Li Dequan just shook his head and did not answer immediately. He was also very shocked when he found out, but the truth is often so absurd.

He walked to Kangxi's side and whispered, "This matter is related to the Eighth Prince. Should we summon the Eighth Prince to the palace to discuss it?"

Kangxi's eyes narrowed slightly, unwilling to believe that the Eighth Brother, who always maintained the image of a modest gentleman, would resort to such despicable means and use such dirty things in the harem to frame his own brother!

"Go and pass it on."

.........

The Eighth Prince had just been driven back by the Emperor, but he didn't expect to be called into the Golden Palace again so soon.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Wang Ruofu and Nian Shilan, who had attacked his braid and made him lose face in front of the emperor and the royal family, and...

The good fourth brother who hides behind a woman and suppresses his laughter while making a fortune in silence!

He was so angry that his lungs ached, but he was so careless that he ignored Li Jingui, who had little presence beside him, and thought that it was the emperor who came to seek justice for him.

He bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Highness."

Kangxi: "..."

"Emperor Father?" The Eighth Prince looked up in confusion.

"Ahem." Kangxi coughed twice deliberately and covered his mouth with his sleeves. "Old Eight, turn your face away and face the gate."

Eighth Prince: “…”

The Fourth Prince almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the Eighth Prince's face. Oh, how come he looked even more miserable than the last time they met?

Who left the big red footprint on my face? It couldn’t be our beloved emperor, could it? No way.

Now, hearing that Kangxi had asked the Eighth Prince to face the gate, he felt even more pleased, thinking that things were changing.

Once upon a time, he was treated like this when he went to court with dark circles under his eyes. Now it’s finally your turn, Old Eight.
