The Destiny of Going to Hell

Time flies, Hongyuan is already an eight-year-old child, with a face as beautiful as summer, winter and spring, but because of his young age, it is less gorgeous and more cute.

Xia Dongchun had just finished washing and dressing when she turned around and saw Yinzhen standing at the door holding Hongyuan's hand.

It was a hot summer day, so they planned to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat.

The three of them were wearing clothes of the same color today, with different patterns, but one could tell at a glance that they were a family of three.

"Mother, Hongyuan misses you so much~"

Hongyuan ran over and hugged Xia Dongchun. Yinzhen laughed, "You only know how to talk sweetly to please your mother."

Xia Dongchun touched Hongyuan's head and said, "I learned this from you, Father. Last time when Father came back from his work, didn't he tell Mother that a day without seeing you feels like a long time?"

Hongyuan's words made Xia Dongchun laugh frequently, and Yinzhen was choked.

This stinky boy!

When they arrived at the Old Summer Palace, Hongyuan went to play with Hongshi. Actually, Hongshi could get along well with any child and could be considered a reliable brother.

When Hongyuan arrived at Juhu Light and Shadow, Hongshi was leading Shuhe out, and Hongli followed behind, "Third brother!"

Hong Yuan's voice was joyful and excited. Hong Shi smiled and greeted Hong Yuan, "Sixth brother is here."

Hongshi held Hongyuan's hand on the left and Shuhe's hand on the right. Hongli walked behind with a gloomy temperament.

He looked at Hongshi who was walking in front of him, and then looked at Hongshi holding Hongyuan's hand, and the bitterness in his heart suddenly spread.

Hongshi can't be just his brother, but Hongyuan has everything, why should he compete with him?

Hongli had grown into a young man, and he really shouldn't compete with Hongyuan, who was still a child, for his brother's affection. But he couldn't help it.

Hongli pinched his palm with his fingers and staggered violently, "Ah!"

When Hongshi heard Hongli's cry of pain behind him, he hurried to Hongli's side to check on him. A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Hongli's forehead and his ankle was swollen.

Hongyuan looked at his third brother who was in a hurry not far away, and then at his fourth brother who raised his eyes inadvertently to challenge him, his whole face was speechless.

It's happening again. I don't know how many times this has happened. Every time the third brother just pays attention to me, the fourth brother will do something to grab the third brother's attention away.

It's really boring. As a man, why do you always do things that are not presentable?

It's hard to believe that he would be willing to hurt his own body.

"Third brother, please ask the imperial physician to see Fourth brother first. Sister Shuhe and I are going to pick lotus pods."

Hongyuan and Shuhe walked away one after another, and Hongli's pinched palms finally relaxed.

Beautiful scenery of Xifeng

Xia Dongchun sat on the swing, and Yinzhen pushed her gently from behind. The sunlight shone through the layers of tree shadows onto the two of them. Yinzhen felt dazed as he looked at Xia Dongchun's still young and beautiful face.

That day, Minmin was swinging high on the swing, surrounded by the worried voices of Qiu Yi and Cuiguo. Minmin's laughter was unrestrained and happy, and that figure as light as a flying bird kept swinging into his heart.

Yinzhen thought of his gradually weakened body, the white hair that appeared in the mirror, and the father and daughter the stall owner had mentioned that day...

After so many years, Hongyuan is already eight years old, but Minmin still looks like a girl. Well, Minmin is delicate, but she is no longer young.

Yinzhen's eyes became dark, and his hand that was pushing Xia Dongchun gradually stopped.

He took a step forward and hugged Xia Dongchun with his arms, "Minmin, Fourth Brother is a little scared."

Before Xia Dongchun could ask Yinzhen what he was afraid of, a young eunuch ran up to him in a hurry, "Oh no! The crown prince fell into the water!"

Yinzhen and Xia Dongchun were both shocked, and quickly asked the eunuch to take them to Hongyuan's location.

When Xia Dongchun and Yinzhen arrived, Hongyuan was already on the shore. Hongshi, Hongli, Shuhe and Hongyuan were all wet, and large puddles of water spread under their feet.

Xia Dongchun pulled Hongyuan over and looked around to see if there were any scratches from the rocks under the water. Worry filled his eyes. "What happened? How did you get yourself into this state?"

There was also anger in Yinzhen's eyes, "What's wrong with you guys? Look at what a mess you have made."

Shuhe seemed to be frightened and kept shaking. Feng Ruozhao, who came rushing over, held her in his arms.

Feng Ruozhao put a plush cloak on Shuhe and asked Ruyi to wipe the wet ends of Shuhe's hair with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the children take a hot bath before asking them again? To prevent them from catching a cold."

Hearing Feng Ruozhao's words, Li Jingyan quickly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's not good for the children to get frozen!"

Yinzhen waved his hand and asked Xia Dongchun to take Hongyuan away. He didn't care about what Li Jingyan and Feng Ruozhao said. "I want to ask you, what happened?"

His eyes were fixed on Hongshi and the other two, and he felt a strong sense of oppression. Hongshi looked at Hongli, whose feet were still swollen, and drops of water were dripping from his hair.

He fluttered his long eyelashes and prepared to step out of the line. Hongshi knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Hongyuan and Shuhe are here to pick lotus pods. I followed them because I was afraid something might happen to them."

He paused and continued, "I slipped and stepped on a mossy rock, and accidentally pushed the two of them into the water."

Hongli felt uncomfortable when he saw his third brother kneeling on the ground for his mistake.

He knelt down and said, "Father Emperor, this has nothing to do with my third brother. I was the one who pushed down the crown prince and Shuhe. My third brother went into the water to save us."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, "Who should I trust between the two of you? If I trust one of you, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Li Jingyan was anxious and said, "Your Majesty, Hongshi would not lie. Hongli might have said this because he was worried that you would punish him. But it's a small matter, so let's forget it."

Hearing Empress Qi's belief in herself, Hongli felt his ears slightly warm.

Yinzhen's voice was deep, "A small matter? Is murdering the crown prince a small matter?"

He turned to look at Shuhe, "Shuhe, tell me what happened."

Feng Ruozhao looked at Shuhe worriedly. Shuhe was trembling and shivering, "Father Emperor, I was walking in the front. When I realized what was happening, I was already in the water. I can't see clearly..."

Yinzhen sighed, "I'll ask you one last time, Hongshi, did you do this?"

Hongshi glanced at Hongli and kowtowed again, "It's my fault."

Yinzhen asked everyone to go down and punished Hongshi to kneel in the Buddhist temple to pray for Hongyuan. He looked at Hongli meaningfully and spoke word by word.

"The Crown Prince will always be Hongyuan, which means that Hongyuan is destined to be different from you. You'd better stay at peace. I can still ensure that you will live a life of wealth and glory. Otherwise, go to the clan house and keep your eighth uncle company."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he chased after Xia Dongchun, leaving Li Jingyan and others standing there in a daze.
