After hearing this, Ulanara Narbu curled his lips and said with great disdain: "I won't eat this kind of thing. Don't be too proud. I am the legitimate son of the Ulanara family and a Manchu noble. Who do you think you are!"

The officer was immediately furious when he heard this. Why was he still acting like a young master when he was already thrown into jail?

What these people usually look down upon the most are those playboys who take advantage of their family's merits to bully men and women all day long. Now they are in jail and still acting so arrogantly!

The officer opened the cell, whipped Narbu hard, and cursed, "If you don't want to eat, shut your stinky mouth!"

Ulanara Narbu had been on the battlefield and was very skilled in martial arts. A small official naturally had no way to deal with him. Not only did he fail to teach Narbu a lesson, he was also beaten up by him.

But the officials are not pushovers either. Even a clay man has some earthiness, no matter what kind of young master you are!

If one person can't beat you, what about two, three, or four people?

This matter was soon known to Su Chou. Su Chou beat Narbu with twenty sticks on the pretext of assaulting a police officer and put him in heavy shackles.

Now Narbu is crying out to heaven and earth but no one is helping him. He originally thought that with his status, Su Chou would just scare him, but two or three days have passed and there is still no intention of letting him go. Narbu is very panicked.

Because he had beaten a government official before, he could have received some preferential treatment even if he was thrown into jail due to his status as a member of the Ulanara family. However, he was so ungrateful that the government officials did not tolerate him.

These days, Narbu eats the same food as other prisoners, which is rice bran and the like. Narbu was very reluctant at first, after all, he used to feed these things to his horses.

People are iron, and rice is steel, so you panic if you don't eat a meal.

In Narbu, after feeling dizzy and dazed with hunger, he still stuffed the already sour bran into his throat.

He swallowed quickly. The grains were a bit harsh on his throat, and every bite felt like swallowing needles.

After a few days, he no longer looked like a human being.

.........

The Defei in the palace had already known the news, but how could Yixiu let Ulanara Narbu be released so quickly?

She entered the palace as quickly as possible and met Concubine De.

"Your son greets you, mother. May you be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Because of the Fourteenth Prince, Concubine De had originally only treated Yixiu for the sake of face, but now she treats Yixiu so well that it's like they are real mother and daughter.

"Hurry up and get up! There's no one here. You haven't eaten well these days and you've lost weight!"

Defei looked at Yixiu with concern, and she was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

Now not only has his relationship with the fourth son eased, but the fourth son is so caring towards the fourteenth son. Kangxi also favors these two sons, and he has such a good child as Honghui.

Looking around the whole palace, one's own daughter-in-law is the best. Not only is she one's niece, but she is also so useful.

Yixiu smiled and stood up. "Thank you for your concern, mother. Maybe I haven't had much appetite recently, so I look a little thinner!"

Defei nervously grabbed Yixiu's hand and asked with concern, "What happened? Are the concubines in the backyard disobedient, or are you and the fourth brother..."

Yixiu smiled and shook her head. Tongde Fei said playfully, "If I were wronged, seeing how you are, I'm afraid you would stand up for me. I'm not worried, but..."

Yixiu sighed and stopped talking.

When Defei saw Yixiu's hesitant expression, she knew something had happened.

She winked at Zhuxi beside her, and after Zhuxi had taken the palace people out, she asked, "What was that for?"

Yixiu glanced around and then whispered in Defei's ear, "I just received the news. Narbu has been arrested by the Ministry of Justice for embezzling military funds!"

Defei raised her eyebrows, somewhat unconvinced, but seeing Yixiu's determined eyes, she didn't seem to be lying.

Thinking back on these years, although I have been in the palace, I have indeed heard rumors about Narbu's absurd behavior. I thought they were all rumors, but I didn't expect...

He was the legitimate son of the Ulanara family. Fei Yanggu had always been trained to be the heir of the Ulanara family. Now something like this had happened...

Concubine De calmed down and asked carefully, "Where did you get this information? Is it true?"

Yixiu lowered her head and said, "It was my cousin Su Chou who brought me this news. He's a very honest man, but he's a little clumsy. The Emperor is investigating this matter. He said it was corruption, a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!"

After hearing this, Concubine De was furious. What a fool! How could he be so shallow?

The Ulanara family is so wealthy and powerful, are they just short of a few taels of silver? They have to get involved!

But no matter how angry she was, he was her nephew after all, so Defei still had to protect him.

"That being said, he is, after all, a member of our Ulanara family and your younger brother. Why don't you talk to Su Chou about it? He just did this thing a while ago, so don't bother with him!"

Yixiu curled the corners of her lips and said, "Okay, let me beg for mercy!"

In that case, don't blame me for being cruel.

Yixiu's eyes were a little red. She first looked at Defei twice, then closed her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

De Fei knew that she hadn't finished speaking, so she sighed and said, "Just say whatever you want to say!"

"Logically, I shouldn't have said this, but for the sake of our prince and the Fourteenth Prince, I have no choice but to be the bad guy. The Fourteenth Prince is about to join the military camp. If something like this happens, even though it has nothing to do with him, how will the people below view him? They are not from our Ulanara family, so because of this, will anyone think that we are involved?"

Yixiu started acting again. She was already a master at acting, and now she was even more proficient at it. She could cry at any time and shed tears at any time.

Once her beloved son was involved, Concubine De became confused.

Having followed Kangxi for so many years, Concubine De naturally knew what Kangxi hated. Narbu was only her nephew, but the fourth and fourteenth brothers were her hopes for the future.

Anyway, Fei Yanggu has more than one son, so let him do whatever he wants!

Defei personally helped Yixiu up, took out a hairpin from her head and put it on Yixiu's head.

"This time, it was my fault for not thinking carefully. Thank goodness for your cleverness, child. Otherwise, if the Emperor had been furious, the Fourth and Fourteenth Princes would have been implicated!"

Concubine De looked into the distance thoughtfully, "I will no longer care about this matter. For the sake of the Ulanara family, the emperor will not kill him!"

For a nephew whose future is uncertain, He Fei is not worth taking the risk.

As expected by Yixiu, as soon as Yixiu returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, Fei Yanggu sent someone to deliver the news to Concubine De's Palace.
