The True Winner of the Red Chamber

Kang He took the old eunuch and a group of guards sent by the emperor to Prince Yizhong's mansion.

It has been two years since the palace was built, and he has never entered it once.Standing at the vermilion gate, Kang He hesitated for a while, thinking about the purpose of the emperor's grandfather calling him, and then said: "Go up and call the door!"

The guards sent by the emperor were naturally imposing, and Prince Yizhong was involved in a conspiracy, it would not be an exaggeration to behead him, so the door was also very loud.

Not long after, a voice came from inside, asking, "Who?"

"Your Majesty's people!"

Immediately there was no sound inside, and the corner door opened after a while, but when the eunuch saw that the leader was Kang He, the eldest son of Prince Yizhong, and the eldest son who had a bad relationship with Prince Yizhong, there was something more in his eyes, as if his attitude was different. Not as panicked as before, said: "It turns out that the prince is here."

After finishing speaking, the eunuch laughed again: "If you came to see your father, how come you come at midnight? You should come during the day, or you should hand over a post to apologize first."

Not to mention that Kang He has become a prince, but the relationship between father and son is often something that he can't get rid of even if he is the emperor, let alone he is not the emperor now, so the gatekeeper inevitably underestimated him by three points.

It's just that there was someone from the emperor behind Kang He, who immediately stepped forward and kicked the eunuch off the top of the eunuch's head. The man was hit so suddenly, and immediately fell to the ground, without reacting for a long time.

The guard turned back to Kang He and cupped his hands, saying: "My lord, look..."

Kang He pondered for a moment, and said: "The imperial grandfather's errands can't be delayed. You have been tired all night, and you should go back to rest early. This palace is only on the left, middle and right roads, and Prince Yizhong is in the middle. Even if no one informs us, we can still find it." of."

The guard nodded, and the group followed Kang He to the big house in the middle of the road.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, as soon as Kang He entered, he saw Prince Yizhong sitting in the courtyard drinking. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. up.

After all, they are still father and son, and he admitted that it might be bad for his future. Kang He glanced back and said to several guards, "Stay here, I will go in." After speaking, Kang He took the old eunuch to the courtyard inside.

Prince Yizhong glanced at him, turned his head still facing Mingyue, drank another glass of wine, and said: "You are here."

Kang He walked up to him and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down.Afterwards, Kang He put down the cup, stood up and said, "Kang Quan and his second uncle conspired against each other and have now been taken down by the imperial grandfather. The imperial grandfather asked me to ask you what is going on with this man!"

Prince Yizhong seemed to have just seen it, and then he glanced at the old eunuch next to him.

"What did you bring him for?"

The words of Prince Yizhong made Kang He feel a little angry. He took a deep breath and said, "Grandfather is still waiting for my reply. He asked me to ask you, is there any truth in Kang Quantong's second uncle forcing the palace?" your shadow."

"As for this man," Kang He kicked him to Prince Yizhong's feet, and said, "He is the eunuch next to you. Location, what do you want to do with such a person by your side, do you want me to tell you?"

Even if this person is a eunuch sent by the queen, but he can remember the arrangement of all the guards in the palace, it is definitely not something that can be cultivated in a year or two. Prince Yizhong has raised such a talent, even if he is not the mastermind of this rebellion, But he also had this heart!

Only now did Kang He understand why the imperial grandfather did not see Prince Yizhong, and why he sent this eunuch here. This clearly meant to cut off his father-son relationship with Prince Yizhong, and he wanted Prince Yizhong to understand that the emperor had already thought of him. guessed.

As for asking myself... Kang He had a thought in his heart that made him ecstatic, but the current situation did not allow him to think about it, so he pinched his palms to calm down and looked at Prince Yizhong.

Prince Yizhong didn't speak, but the frequency of pouring wine in his hand became faster and faster.

Kang He hated his father the most in his life, who seemed calm on the surface, but actually didn't care about anything, said: "And your favorite son, the emperor's grandfather will not let even the second uncle go, presumably from now on. You won't see him again after that."

Prince Yizhong's hands trembled, and two drops of the wine brought to his mouth spilled out.

Seeing him flustered, Kang He felt a little happy in his heart. "After all, there is still this one person you care about in this world."

Unexpectedly, Prince Yizhong just paused, then poured himself another glass of wine, as if he wasn't the one who panicked just now.

Seeing that he didn't eat tea, rice, oil and salt, Kang He said, "In that case, I'll go back to the emperor's grandfather like this. Just say that Prince Yizhong kept silent in the face of all kinds of questions. Are you satisfied with this?"

Only then did Prince Yizhong look up at him, and Kang He met Prince Yizhong's eyes, and he could see a bit of solemnity and reluctance in his eyes, which made Kang He feel a little different in his heart Come.Although he said he was going to leave just now, he waited for a while.

Only then did Prince Yizhong start talking, "I know you have always blamed me."

Kang He didn't speak, and Prince Yizhong poured him a glass of wine. Kang He looked at the clear fine wine in the glass, and there was a bright moon in the sky reflected in it, but the liquid inside kept shaking, and the moon was also fragmented.

After a while, when the bright moon in the cup couldn't stand it anymore, Kang He raised his head and said, "Mother may have blamed you, but I don't care anymore."

Kang He stretched out his hand and pushed the wine glass towards Prince Yizhong, saying: "Tonight I am on business at the imperial grandfather's order, and drinking one glass of wine is already too much."

Prince Yizhong looked up at him, then lowered his head immediately, and looked at Mingyue again for a while, looking at the leftovers on the table, but his eyes just didn't look at Kang He.

Kang He didn't speak anymore, just now Prince Yizhong intended to keep him, so he waited patiently, presumably there will be a result soon.

Prince Yizhong was still drinking one cup at a time. Seeing him like this, Kang He felt that he was clearly trying to get himself drunk.Kang He frowned, and covered Prince Yizhong's wine glass with his hand.

Prince Yizhong glanced at him and sighed: "You have grown up too, you are taller than being a father."

Kang He pursed his lips and said, "What's the point of saying this now? I've been alone since I grew up. I didn't have a father before... I won't have a father in the future."

Prince Yizhong smiled miserably, and said: "I have done many things wrong in my life..."

Although Kang He wanted to know what Prince Yizhong wanted to say, he was not interested in such words that lamented life.

"If you only have these words, then you don't need to say them." Kang He wanted to get up after speaking.

"Wait," Prince Yizhong said solemnly, "Didn't you always want to know your life experience?"

When Kang He heard this, he got up half of his body and immediately sat down again. Prince Yizhong sighed: "I really can't say these things without the strength of alcohol."

"I just want to ask you one thing," Kang He sullenly said, but before the question was spoken, Prince Yizhong said, "You are the child of your mother and concubine."

Kang He breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not worth it for his mother and concubine, "Then you just watch them take the opportunity to kill my mother and concubine! And use this to make trouble, making me think... let me be in the Prince's Mansion The name is not right and the word is not right!"

On the surface, Kang He didn't care about this, and even in front of Zhen Yingjia, he kept saying that he was born to the princess, and that the princess raised him. No matter what, the princess was born to him.

But in fact, Kang He was a little uncertain in his heart, what if... what if they had changed their children back then?He changed from the eldest son of the legitimate son to the eldest son of the concubine, and he was also the culprit behind the death of the crown prince and concubine.

"How did my mother and concubine die!" Kang He looked at Prince Yizhong intently and asked word by word.

"Back then..." Prince Yizhong closed his eyes and thought for a long time before Kang He asked, "What did you say to my mother and concubine that night! What are you guys arguing about!"

Prince Yizhong opened his eyes and looked at Kang He, full of exhaustion, "There is a rumor in the house that Kang Quan is her son. She invited me here to ask this question, and I did not deny it."

"It's still you!" Kang He said angrily, "They spread the rumors, but you were the one who killed my mother and concubine! No wonder... no wonder my mother and concubine were buried in the name of the crown prince. This is God's will in the dark. , you will never die in the same hole in this lifetime!"

Prince Yizhong laughed twice, with a bit of ruthlessness in his tone, and said quickly: "Kang Quan is indeed her son. This rumor... can't be called a rumor, half truth and half false, the first half of Kang Quan It is her son, this is true, the second part of the sentence you were born by Zhao is false. If you want to say that I killed her? It can only be said that she got into a dead end by herself, she only asked me the first part of the sentence, She only asked me if Kang Quan was born to her, and asked me to swear to the Bodhisattva, so of course I told the truth."

"If she asks me again if you were born to Concubine Zhao, she will know the truth, but unfortunately she only asked the first half of the sentence." Prince Yizhong looked at Kang He again, with malice in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth , "If you say that the person who killed her was actually you! If she hadn't raised you for more than ten years and put all her heart on you, why would she die in depression because of this matter?"

"You!" Kang He stood up suddenly, and slapped the table with a slap, knocking down both wine glasses.Kang He stared at Prince Yizhong, but what he was thinking about was what he just said just now, Prince Yizhong spoke too fast just now, he only had a rough idea, but after a little deeper thinking, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion .

"I was born to my concubine, and Kang Quan was also born to my concubine, so... where did the children born to Mrs. Zhao go?"

Prince Yizhong looked at him and said, "You can think of it, can't you?"

Kang He could hardly bear to attack Prince Yizhong.

Prince Yizhong saw that his always calm eldest son had such mood swings, he seemed very satisfied in his heart, and said very relaxedly: "Back then your mother and concubine gave birth to twins, and Zhao's child died after birth. I was afraid that she would Feeling sad, I carried Kang Quan to her."

Prince Yizhong sighed: "I wanted to hug you at first, after all, you came down from my husband, you are healthy, Kang Quan is a small one, a circle smaller than you, and you can't even hear your crying... I was afraid that I would not be able to support her and make her sad. But the queen mother was there at the time, so it was not easy for me to carry a child away."

Kang He froze there, the questions that had plagued him for several years, the cause of the death of the crown princess, and even the reason why the imperial grandmother meddled in those years, all of these were solved tonight, but the answer...he said no after hearing it. What does it feel like to come out of your heart.

Prince Yizhong said: "Originally everything was fine, but I don't know where the news came from..."

"You didn't want Mrs. Zhao to be sad, so you forced my mother and concubine to death." Kang He was so angry that he calmed down, "I think mother and concubine will die in depression in the end, half of it is because of me, and the other half is because of a good one. Children, you have developed this virtue.

Kang He stood up, raised his foot and wanted to leave.

Prince Yizhong amplified his voice, "After today, you will be the master of the Prince's Mansion, and Kang Quan is your younger brother. For the sake of your mother and concubine, just let him have something to eat."

Kang He took a few more steps forward, then turned around, looked at Prince Yizhong's pleading eyes, and shook his head.

"I don't believe it. It's just a lie you made up to save Kang Quan's life."

Kang He's voice was as calm as when he came, and he said to the guards waiting outside: "I have already asked clearly, and the person is also staying for Prince Yizhong, let's go back to the palace!"
