The Virtuous Concubine

At this point, I can only say it’s regrettable.

Kangxi was already very suspicious of his illness, and especially after he fell ill, his physical weakness made him feel increasingly powerless and he became even more sensitive and thoughtful.

If the prince sneaked out to play at ordinary times, he could still think that it was just his son's youthful nature and just laugh it off.

But for this trip, the prince mobilized his confidant, the elite team led by the Nine-Gates Admiral Fei Yanggu!

Although the prince told Fei Yanggu before he left that he was going out to hunt a white fox for his father, Kangxi was not satisfied.

What kind of hunting requires bringing a line of elite soldiers and a large group of other people to flank and ambush?

Moreover, Fei Yanggu mobilized manpower without telling him and acted on his own!

The prince is lying to his father!

Not only that, the prince also delayed visiting him when he was sick, and didn't show any concern at all!

With all these things added up, Kangxi's anger, disappointment and heartache were beyond words.

"I have seen countless storms in my life, but I never thought that the one who would eventually put me in such a painful situation would be the prince I had the highest hopes for!"

At this point, the plan set up by the Fourth Prince has become the first step.

As the prince hurriedly stepped into the tent, he felt the emperor's anger.

The prince's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Kangxi looked at the prince coldly, without a trace of the kindness he used to have, only endless anger and disappointment. He snorted coldly and asked, "Do you know your guilt?"

The prince was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and answered carefully: "I don't know what crime I have committed. I hope Your Majesty will explain it clearly."

Kangxi threw the report in his hand in front of the prince and shouted angrily: "Look at it yourself! Why did you mobilize Fei Yanggu's elite troops for this trip? I am lying here on the bed, and my life and death are uncertain, but you are out there, enjoying yourself and not coming back. Do you still have me, your royal father, in your heart?"

The prince picked up the report, glanced at it quickly, and his face changed instantly.

He now realized that he had fallen into a trap, and it was a conspiracy by the Fourth Prince!

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of rebelling. I just heard that there was a white fox in the forest, so I suddenly wanted to capture the white fox and present it to Your Majesty. As for mobilizing Fei Yanggu's team, I just wanted to ensure the safety of this hunting trip. I have no other intentions. I didn't know that Your Majesty was unwell today. If I had known earlier, I would have rushed back to serve Your Majesty immediately."

Kangxi listened to the prince's defense, and felt that it was full of loopholes and weak! His anger grew stronger and stronger, and he shouted: "Humph! You still dare to quibble now! What did I teach you on weekdays? As a prince, you should put the country first and filial piety first, but look at yourself, what have you done? Do you still have me in your eyes?"

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more angry he became. He thought of the prince being obsessed with a woman in the backyard, being obsessed with her all day long and not making progress. He dragged his sick body and took the prince out for a spring retreat to relax, and his anger could not be suppressed.

Kangxi, with his internal organs burning and blood boiling, waved his hands and signaled to the guards around him: "Come here, give him ten military sticks and make him reflect on his actions!"

However, after Kangxi's order was issued, all the guards looked at each other, and no one dared to move a step.

These guards had been with Kangxi for a long time, and they all knew how much Kangxi doted on the prince.

The emperor was just angry at the moment and spoke without thinking.

As the crown prince, he has an extremely noble status. If the emperor really follows the emperor's order and beats him, not to mention whether the prince will bear a grudge and seek revenge in the future, if the emperor's anger subsides, he will definitely regret it when he thinks back to the fact that he punished the prince today.

And those who obey the emperor's order and punish the prince will become victims in his attempt to restore the father-son relationship and restore the prince's majesty.

By then, the emperor will deal with all of them personally!

Seeing that no one dared to move, Kangxi became even angrier and his face turned red.

"What? Are my words no longer effective? You bunch of slaves, are you going to openly disobey my order?"

The guards were so frightened that they fell to their knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! We dare not!"

The smarter ones took the lead in pleading for the prince.

However, they never expected that asking for mercy at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire.

The more they united to protect the prince, the angrier Kangxi became.

They have already decided in their hearts that I am old, frail, incompetent, and no longer worthy of their following and respect, and have turned to curry favor with the Crown Prince!

Kangxi laughed out of anger, but there was no trace of laughter in his voice, only endless sadness and anger: "Well! You are good, you dog slaves! You dare not listen to my order. It seems that I am too kind on weekdays, which allows you to be so presumptuous!"

After saying this, Kangxi ignored his weak body and staggered forward, as if he really wanted to punish the prince himself.

The prince dared not hide and could only endure Kangxi's punches and kicks.

Such a big commotion in the tent naturally attracted many people, including the Thirteenth Prince.

Everyone looked terrified and astonished, but they did not dare to step forward to dissuade them, and could only wander anxiously outside the tent.

In this chaotic crowd, the Thirteenth Prince was horrified when he saw the scene inside. Without caring about anything else, he just flew in front of the Crown Prince. Kangxi's punches and kicks landed heavily on the Thirteenth Prince.

Kangxi was angry at the moment and tried to push Thirteen away, but failed.

In the midst of the pushing and shoving, not only did the two princes' accessories fall to the ground, but their clothes were also torn, showing no grace at all.

Kangxi was extremely angry, and seeing that he couldn't separate the two men, he simply picked up a teapot nearby and smashed it at the two of them.

With a loud crash, Thirteen's head was broken and bleeding.

This sudden bloody scene made Kangxi sober up a little instantly. His hand stopped in mid-air and he began to regain some consciousness, but the entire tent was dead silent.

Later, many people came forward and risked their lives to separate the most noble father and son in the world and calmed them down.

If nothing is done to stop this conflict and it is allowed to continue, the Emperor might actually do something like "killing his son" today, which is against human ethics and will shock the whole court and the whole country!

When no one was paying attention, Kangxi stepped on a scent bag that had fallen from the prince's body. The scent bag was embroidered with delicate patterns and must have been something the prince treasured very much, but now it was left on the ground in this chaotic situation and was covered with dust.

Kangxi looked down at the sachet, then looked at Thirteenth Prince's face and head covered in blood, and the injuries on the Crown Prince's body not far away. At this time, Kangxi felt a little regretful. He could only curse a few words angrily, then waved his hand weakly and asked everyone to retreat.
