"Reply to Your Majesty."

Li Dequan quickly responded, “Indeed there were a few times.

The main reason is that Prince Hongxi is not young anymore.

Concubine Li blamed the second concubine for not choosing a wife for Prince Hongxi.

The Second Lady was angry several times.

Someone must have accidentally leaked it."

"The concubine of the second son is also brainless."

Kangxi frowned, "You are just messing around, aren't you afraid of risking your life?"

"..."

Li Dequan lowered his head and did not dare to take up the topic.

Kangxi asked again, "Just now you said that the fourth and thirteenth brothers were going to the Prince's Palace together?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Dequan quickly responded, "The Thirteenth Concubine went to Prince Yong's mansion first.

About an hour later.

The Fourth and Thirteenth Concubine will go to the Prince's Mansion."

"When did the rumors in the capital begin?"

Kangxi couldn't help but wonder, "Have you found out who spread it?"

"Reply to Your Majesty."

Li Dequan shared the news he knew, “It just spread throughout the capital today.

Some people said that someone was spreading this matter yesterday.

Others said that someone talked about this matter the day before yesterday.

The people who were chatting at the beginning were all young people who liked to chat and hang out.

As for who started it, it is impossible to tell."

"It seems that someone is fanning the flames."

Kangxi frowned, "I don't know who would do such a thing.

Could it be the Guarjia clan?

She shouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Could it be that someone deliberately tormented the second son's family?"

Kangxi muttered to himself.

The people who might take action kept circling in my mind.

I thought about it for a long time.

Still no suspicious person was found.

Just at this time.

Wei Zhu came in and saluted, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong requests to see you."

"Fourth?"

Kangxi ordered: "Let him in."

"Whoo!"

After Wei Zhu went out.

The fourth brother stepped in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I greet you."

Kangxi asked directly, "Fourth Brother, are you here because of the rumors in the capital?"

"Yes, my Emperor."

The fourth brother responded, "I wonder what the emperor's plan is?"

"Old Four, do you know who it is?"

Kangxi stared at him and said, "I can't guess who used this method to deal with the second son's women.

It seems that he wants to stir up trouble among the women in your second brother's house."

"Father, I don't think so."

The fourth brother shook his head slightly and continued, "This rumor mainly says that the concubine and Hongxi in the second brother's house will not let go of the second sister-in-law and the child in her belly.

The key is the second sister-in-law’s legitimate son.”

"You mean the second family did it themselves?"

Kangxi's face turned ugly at the same time, "What does she want to do?

Do you want to use this method to protect yourself?"

"Father Emperor, I don't think it's my second sister-in-law."

The fourth elder smiled slightly, "Father Emperor should know that Thirteenth Brother's wife and my son's wife went to visit Second Sister-in-law."

"what do you mean……"

Kangxi suddenly had an idea, "From the Thirteenth Master's family?"

Then he frowned again, "Why would she do this?

To protect the second child? "

"It should be so."

The fourth brother nodded, “Thirteenth brother’s wife is on good terms with the second sister-in-law.

If her second sister-in-law encounters difficulties, she will definitely help her.

It was as if Honghui almost died young.

It was she who saved Honghui's life in time."

"So she spread the news on purpose."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes, "Is the purpose to prevent Hongxi and her biological mother from taking any action?"

"I think Thirteenth Brother's wife's intention is not to force Hongxi and his mother to not dare to take action."

The fourth child responded, “As long as the mother and son are determined, the rumors will spread.

Whether the mother and son did it themselves or instructed their servants to do it.

As long as my second sister-in-law has a miscarriage, there will be two corpses.

Your Majesty, you will definitely only let my second brother’s concubine pay with her life.

No matter how much Hongxi is punished, he will still be alive.

The second sister-in-law’s child is gone, gone.”

"Hearing you put it that way."

Kangxi finally realized something. "The Thirteenth Family spread these rumors in order to get me to protect the Second Family's legitimate son."

The fourth elder nodded, "I think this should be the case."

"This is from Old Thirteen's family."

Kangxi was so angry that he laughed, "She has to resort to such tricks?

She may come to the palace or ask you to pass on the message.

Would I just sit there and watch something happen to the Second Brother's family?"

"Perhaps he is not used to the commotion in Second Brother's house."

Prince Yong responded softly, "By the way, I'll cause some trouble for Hongxi and her biological mother."

"It's impulsive."

Kangxi said angrily: "How can Hongxi face others when his reputation is ruined?"

"It's not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either."

The fourth brother knew that Hongxi was still dreaming of becoming the crown prince.

I kind of dislike ambitious people.

Of course this is not the most important thing.

But in his memory, Hongxi inherited the throne of prince after the death of his second brother.

He did not treat his stepmother and other concubine mothers well.

Now that his second brother had gone to Lingnan, Hongxi dared to allow his biological mother to torment his stepmother.

This shows that he has ulterior motives and cannot tolerate the younger brother in his stepmother's belly.

"How to say?"

Kangxi asked in a deep voice, "Hongxi is a smart child. Since your second brother is not in the capital, he should be the one to support the palace.

Is it good for him to have his reputation ruined?"

"Father Emperor, as long as the baby in my second sister-in-law's belly is born safely."

The fourth child responded, “And grew up safely.

All rumors are dispelled without any attack.

It all depends on Hongxi's choice."

"Hongxi!"

Kangxi murmured softly, "This child is also ambitious.

Speaking of which, he..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid.

The fourth brother naturally understood what it meant.

"never mind."

Kangxi felt that he could not afford to offend her, “Since she wants to protect the second son’s family.

I will send a few people to the second brother's family.

The second brother’s family didn’t have a legitimate son in their previous life, so maybe she was the one who gave birth to a legitimate son for the second brother’s family.

The same goes for the fifth and eighth families.

I'm afraid it's all her work."

"What the Emperor said makes sense."

The fourth brother smiled helplessly, "She never cared about the matters between the sisters-in-law before.

This time she was willing to take action.

Naturally, I don’t want these legitimate sons to die young.”

"Forget it. I can still argue with her."

Kangxi thought that none of his sons had a legitimate son in their previous life.

I finally got what I wanted in this life.

He really shouldn't have been killed in the hands of the woman in the backyard.

After making a decision.

Directly change the subject, "Old Four, look...

The father and son quickly talked about the political affairs that the ministers had brought up at the morning court.

……

evening.

The Fourth Master returned home.

Prepare to go to the main courtyard.

The maid kneeling on the road blocked his way.

"Your Highness, I am from the Tide Courtyard, and my princess requests that you come over."

The maid kowtowed and said, "Please, my lord, have mercy on me and go see me.

My Lord, please."

"In a little while."

The fourth master walked around the person in front of him and said as he walked, "I will go see her, you go back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid turned around on her knees and kowtowed to the back of the person in front of her, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She quickly got up.

Go back quickly.

About half an hour later.

The Fourth Master came out of the main courtyard and went directly to the Tidal Courtyard.

"Your Majesty!"

Maertai Ruoxi saw the person who came in.

She immediately bowed, "I greet the prince."
