The Virtuous Concubine

Kangxi was quite satisfied with the prince's answer and felt that he was becoming more sophisticated. He nodded approvingly and moved on to other matters.

After returning to the palace, the Fourth Prince seemed like a different person. He restrained all the high spirits he had on the battlefield and stood aside without saying a word.

The prince felt a little annoyed when he saw that he was calm and not in a hurry at all.

You don’t know how blessed you are when you are in the midst of blessings!

Judging from the mentality, I really don’t know who is the biological son.

After finally finishing the negotiation, Kangxi showed some signs of fatigue and asked them to go back and do their job well according to the results of today's discussion.

The prince seemed to be hesitant to speak at this time - his father was in the palace, so he had no reason to go to Yonghe Palace!

He wanted to persuade Kangxi to go to Yonghe Palace so that he could go with him. However, the prince was worried that his proposal would arouse Kangxi's suspicion, and he was very conflicted.

When he was extremely conflicted, he heard the Fourth Prince's farewell voice again, and couldn't help but glance at him again.

If he were to say this, it would naturally be most appropriate, but he refused to say it. He even told the Emperor to have a good rest and not to worry!

The prince was angry, but he could do nothing about it, and left the Qianqing Palace angrily. Forget it, just chat with the fourth prince, and maybe we can go to Yonghe Palace.

Little did he know that when the Fourth Prince saw his gloomy face, he even quickened his pace after saying goodbye.

The prince was even more angry when he saw this. He hurried a few steps, trying to catch up with the fourth prince, but the fourth prince seemed to be trying to avoid him, and his steps became faster and faster. The prince shouted from behind, "Fourth prince, why are you walking so fast?"

The Fourth Prince thought to himself, if I don’t leave, am I just waiting for you to kick me in the stomach?

However, he could only stop, standing on the steps next to the white marble steps, and turned back to ask the Crown Prince: "What do you want, Your Highness?"

The prince looked at the fourth prince, his face still unhappy, and said, "Fourth Prince, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

The fourth prince replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I was anxious to do the job that the Emperor gave me, and I did not mean to neglect Your Highness."

The prince became even angrier after hearing this, so no one wants to go to Yonghe Palace to take a look, right?

Moreover, he looked at the listless Fourth Brother in front of him, Soetu's instructions, the emperor's father's praise for him, and the fetal movement caused by Malu when he was stripped of his title. All these things piled up together, and he became more and more irritated and uneasy.

But seeing that the fourth child was so stubborn, he really wanted to whip him and teach him a lesson about parent-child ethics.

Even when his own mother was struggling at the gates of death, he was still thinking about his father's job as the Emperor!

The prince was silent for a moment, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Old Four, go and do your job. But remember, if you have the chance, go to Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine De for me."

The Fourth Prince was startled, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will convey Your Highness's concern to Mother later."

After hearing what he said, the prince became even more angry.

Turn back? I told you, shouldn't you go and guard it now?

The prince was on the verge of exploding, but he could only restrain himself again and turned around to leave.

The Fourth Prince was also quite innocent. His mother told him from the beginning that she would launch the movement at any time, and asked him not to rush back, but to settle the issue of the title properly and leave a good impression on his father that he was focused on his career.

What's more, I have been traveling all the way and have some minor injuries on my body. Wouldn't it be more terrifying if I go to Yonghe Palace without cleaning myself up?

The news I revealed in the last letter caused my mother to have fetal movement, and the Emperor scolded me. Now I must go to the prince's place to deal with it!

Moreover, the Fourth Prince felt that the Crown Prince was a little too enthusiastic! He knew that in this life, Mother and the Crown Prince had a good relationship, but this was not the reason why the Crown Prince cared so much about Mother.

It's really a bit of an overstepping of one's authority, crossing the line of normal friendship.

It has to be said that the old man Yinzhen is very sensitive to people's emotions.

At the moment when the Crown Prince turned around, the Fourth Prince suddenly said, "Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The prince stopped and tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of impatience, "If you have something to say, please say it quickly."

In a split second, the Fourth Prince had no time to speak tactfully, and he felt that this matter was not suitable for tact, so he said: "Your Highness, why are you so concerned about my mother?"

After hearing this, the prince felt as if his secrets had been exposed for some reason, and he became even more furious. "How dare you question me? Who gave you the courage to question me?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince was unable to dodge and stumbled back a few steps.

The prince was so angry that the fourth prince felt it was abnormal. He approached the prince and whispered, "My mother gave birth prematurely, and my father has made all the arrangements. Your excessive concern at this time may cause unnecessary trouble. And as the prince, you should focus on state affairs and keep a proper distance from the harem to avoid giving people a chance to criticize you and damaging my mother's reputation!"

The prince listened to his heart-piercing words, and his originally white jade-like face turned red because of rage. His eyes were wide open, "How can you understand the friendship between me and Concubine De? You are really meddling in other people's business! And you are so suspicious, you are unworthy of being a son!"

As he spoke, he could no longer suppress his inner rage and kicked the Fourth Prince in the heart.

The Fourth Prince was originally standing on the steps. The Crown Prince was standing taller than him and was also good at riding and shooting. He kicked the Fourth Prince and made him fall on the steps, rolling straight to the open space in front of the Qianqing Palace!

The Fourth Prince fell to the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body and a burning sensation in his heart.

But compared to the physical pain, the intense mental shame made him even more unwilling to get up, so he simply lay down, closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

How come I have to take this kick again in my next life?

Seeing this, the eunuchs and palace maids around were so frightened that they dared not breathe and didn't know what to do.

After the prince kicked him, his anger subsided a little, but when he saw the fourth prince falling to the ground, he regretted his impulsiveness. However, he couldn't bring himself to help the fourth prince, so he just stood on the steps, looking down at him with a complicated expression.

At this time, Liang Jiugong, who was beside Kangxi, heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing this, he immediately sent someone to report to Kangxi. After Kangxi learned about this, his face was gloomy. He ordered someone to help the fourth prince up and send him to the doctor, and also asked someone to call the prince to his presence.
