Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

The hall was completely silent, everyone lowered their heads and held their breath.

Kangxi's face became more and more uglier. He ascended the throne at the age of eight, took power at the age of fourteen, executed Oboi at the age of sixteen, pacified the Three Feudatories at the age of twenty-eight, recovered Taiwan at the age of thirty, and pacified Galdan at the age of forty-four. How could he not see the trick here?

Besides being shocked and angry, he was more disappointed with the Crown Prince. It was unexpected that the crown prince of a country was being plotted against like this, and it was not even clear yet how he would be able to shoulder big responsibilities in the future.

Watching this scene, Shi Nanxi suddenly recalled the news that Hongying had brought into the palace some time ago. She said that E'nahai had seen Longkodo and the Eighth Prince appear together in a remote tavern.

He also remembered that Fifteen had mentioned to him before, that he felt a sense of disharmony every time he saw Ninth Brother giving advice to the Second Brother, the Crown Prince.

Her brain was working rapidly, and considering the fact that the Ninth Prince was a staunch supporter of the Eighth Prince in history, she suddenly had an idea and a guess emerged in her mind.

Is it possible that the Ninth Prince is a member of the Prince's faction on the surface, but is secretly a member of the Eighth Prince's faction?

If the guess is correct, combined with what the prince just said, is it possible that the Ninth Prince said he had a stomachache because he deliberately left the prince's sight, and then did something to Hai Dongqing behind his back that caused Hai Dongqing to die?

They are indeed mother and son. Just as Shi Nanxi came to this conclusion, Yin Yi, who had been abnormally silent today, came to the front of the Saker Falcon's cage at some point.

Through the cage, he looked into the Saker Falcon's eyes, touched its belly, and even pried open its mouth and put his fingers in to touch it. He didn't know what he touched, but after observing it for a while, he stuck out his tongue and licked it.

This scene was seen by the Eighth Prince. His eyebrows suddenly twitched, and he had an inexplicable bad premonition. He pinched his fingers inconspicuously and pretended to be surprised and worried:

"Fifteenth brother, what are you doing? The food in the Saker Falcon's mouth is not edible. Don't get an upset stomach. Spit it out now!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously looked at the Fifteenth Prince. Yinyi did not listen to what the Eighth Prince said, but felt it for a while, and then seemed to confirm something.

At this moment, he happened to notice something strange on the sleeve of the Ninth Prince from the corner of his eye. He was alerted and the next moment, he quickly walked up to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously wanted to ask the Fifteenth Prince to step back. But at this time Yin Yi pinched the sleeve of the Ninth Prince's right hand, and after seeing a tiny white crystal somewhere, he finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

At this time, the Ninth Prince pulled back his sleeves vigorously and said in a bluffing tone:

"Fifteenth brother, what are you doing?"

Yin Yi didn't care about his sleeves being pulled back. He clapped his hands, stood up, stretched his waist, looked at Kangxi, and said casually:

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, don't be angry. I have understood everything. What the Crown Prince said is correct. An hour or two ago, the pair of Saker Falcons were still fine. They were not as dying as they are now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Crown Prince looked up with surprise, but the expressions of the Eighth Prince and others changed slightly.

Kangxi's face was furious. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the crown prince, and paused at the Ninth Prince's expression. Then he asked Yinyi in a deep voice:

"Fifteen, what do you mean?"

Yin Yi looked relaxed and unconcerned. He walked over to support the prince first.

The prince dared not get up.

whispered:

"Fifteen, don't worry about your second brother, answer the emperor's words first."

Yin Yi obediently let go of his hand, stood up and explained:

"It's very simple, Father Emperor. I just checked the pair of Saker Falcons and found corn residue in their mouths. I also tasted the residue and it tasted a bit salty."

Having said this, Fifteen suddenly turned his gaze towards his mother with a very proud expression, and began by saying that his son was a good child.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Kangxi, but also other people who knew the Fifteenth Prince twitched their lips and complained in their hearts at some inappropriate time.

If the Fifteenth Prince is a good child, then basically all the children in the capital are good children.

Meanwhile, Yin Yi puffed out his chest and said proudly:

"The Queen Mother said that people don't need to be well-educated, but they must have common sense. Especially since I am a greedy person, I don't know when I will get a stomachache. There are also some foods that cannot be eaten together or they will counteract each other. So she asked me to read more medical books when I have time. I said I am an obedient child, so I have read so many medical books."

Yin Yi said this while stretching out his little finger and showing a spot as big as the gap between his fingernails. Shi Nanxi, who was sitting at the upper seat, saw the look on her child's face and curled her lips silently. Well, it was indeed just a tiny bit.

Kangxi obviously knew a little about the inside story, but he didn't know the true progress of Yinyi's medical studies. In this regard, he said in a deep voice:

"Fifteen, what does it mean that the Saker Falcon has corn residue and the taste of salt in its mouth?"

He knew that there was something fishy going on, but he needed to investigate what it was. However, now that Fifteen was here, Kangxi had always known that although his Fifteen looked unreliable, he was actually a very smart child. Since he said he had figured it out, he must have seen something.

No matter what, no matter how wrong the prince was, he was still the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. Now that he was in the public eye, he had to find out the truth of the matter, otherwise it would definitely cause turmoil in the court. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Kangxi's mind.

Yin Yi put down his hand after hearing this. His androgynous face suddenly became serious. He bowed solemnly and said:

"My son once read in a torn medical book that if you soak corn kernels in salt water and feed them to a Saker Falcon after taking them out, the Saker Falcon will slowly die of dehydration."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked. The Queen Mother understood and quickly confirmed:

"Fifteen, are you saying that the prince was framed?" Then he angrily asked, "Who is it? How dare they frame the crown prince?"

Upon hearing this, those who reacted quickly immediately looked at the Ninth Prince who was kneeling on the ground.

The Ninth Prince began sweating profusely on his back when the Fifteenth Prince mentioned corn residue and salt water. Now, facing everyone's gaze, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The Empress Dowager also realized what was happening and followed everyone's gaze to look at the Ninth Prince. Her body shook violently, her head buzzed, and she looked at the Ninth Prince in disbelief.

"Fifteen, you just looked at Ninth Prince's sleeves, could it be?"

She guessed it in her heart, but still couldn't believe it. The Ninth Prince had been following the Crown Prince for more than ten years. How could he betray and frame the Crown Prince?

Yin Yi looked at the Ninth Prince with a heavy expression, pursed his lips and said:

"Madam, my grandson loves gourmet food. Sometimes when he's in the mood, he'll go to the imperial kitchen and cook for himself. There must be a salt stain on Ninth Brother's sleeve from corn kernels soaked in salt water that he accidentally touched when he was feeding the Saker Falcon. I recognized it."

After these words were spoken, the Ninth Prince could no longer hold back and his face turned pale.

Kangxi's face was extremely ugly at this time. He even mentioned his other son. He said angrily:

"Old Nine, it turns out that you are the one behind this. You are truly treacherous and cunning. You even framed the Crown Prince for having no brotherly love. You are worthy of being called the venomous snake Nine since childhood!"

All kinds of unpleasant words were said at this time, and the Crown Prince looked at the Ninth Prince in disbelief. He thought that what happened today might be the Eldest Prince, the Eighth Prince, or even the Fourth Prince framing him, but he didn't expect it would be the Ninth Prince.

He growled:

"Old Nine, I thought I treated you well, why did you betray me and frame me, putting me to death?"

Shi Nanxi, who was sitting at the top, watched these scenes unfold and had a sense that it was as expected. Then she looked towards the Eighth Prince without leaving a trace.

The Eighth Prince curled up his hands on the ground. The next moment, he turned his head and glanced at the Tenth Prince obscurely. The next moment, the Tenth Prince looked up and asked in a seemingly incomprehensible question:

"Nine Brother, did you really do this? Why would you frame the Crown Prince for no reason?"

After hearing this, everyone's attention was slightly distracted and they began to think.

Yes! Why did the Ninth Prince suddenly frame the Crown Prince?

The panicked Ninth Prince suddenly woke up when he heard this and finally remembered the emergency plan prepared by the Eighth Prince.

He calmed down temporarily and kowtowed to Kangxi, admitting his guilt.

"Father, I know I am guilty. I was the one who framed the Crown Prince, but I had good intentions!"

"Good intentions?" Kangxi's face was gloomy, and he sneered, "You framed the prince and said it was good intentions. Then tell me where the good intentions came from?"

Shi Nanxi's eyelids suddenly jumped for some reason. Oh no, the Tenth Prince's words just now were a reminder that the Eighth Prince and the others had made unexpected preparations. As soon as this conclusion came to her mind, she saw the Ninth Prince trembling and saying:

"Because I accidentally discovered that the second prince actually hid the dragon robe and wore it. I was afraid that the second prince would do something treasonous, so I came up with this idea to make the emperor more cautious, and also to warn the second prince not to act rashly. I know I am guilty, but I really mean well!"

However, at this moment no one listened to the Ninth Prince's next words. Everyone kept repeating in their minds the words that the Crown Prince had secretly kept the dragon robe and even put it on, with a look of horror on their faces.

Kangxi suddenly stood up and stared at the prince:

"Privately hiding the dragon robe? Prince, is what Lao Jiu said true?"
