My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1721 Is it crooked? (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)
In front of the prince's carriage were the carriages of the three younger princes.

The Fourteenth Prince got off the carriage and looked at the imperial carriage in front of him.

However, there were the carriages of the empress dowager and concubines in the middle, so it was difficult to see clearly from a distance.

But if you look at the carriage behind, you can see it more clearly.

The Fourteenth Prince stared at the Crown Prince's carriage for a long time, but no one got out.

He curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a bit of gloating.

No matter what the results of the investigation were, the news of the prince's unfilial behavior spread.

There is no way to explain this.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince was seen riding a horse coming from the direction of the imperial carriage.

The Fourteenth Prince hurriedly called out, "Thirteenth Brother..."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded, but showed no intention of stopping his horse.

The Fourteenth Prince looked at the Thirteenth Prince's back.

Then the Thirteenth Prince's horse stopped beside the Crown Prince's carriage.

The Thirteenth Prince dismounted and reported across the carriage, "My Lord, Khan's father has sent a message!"

The prince lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Did you call everyone?"

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, there are also the eldest brother, the fourth brother and the ninth brother..."

The prince nodded and got off the carriage.

The guard next to him understood the situation and led the prince's horse.

The prince jumped on his horse and headed towards the imperial carriage.

Behind the prince's carriage was the eldest prince's carriage.

The Thirteenth Prince got back on the horse and notified everyone one by one.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince are fine, as they have horses ready, so the two brothers just have to wait for the ninth prince.

When he arrived at the Ninth Prince's place, he had to use the guards' horses to reunite with everyone else.

The Fourteenth Prince saw it all and his face turned pale.

When everyone passed by, he couldn't help but said pitifully: "Thirteenth brother, Khan Ama passed it on to my brothers, but not to me?"

The road was not wide to begin with, and the convoy took up half of it, leaving only enough space for two horses to run side by side.

Among the brothers, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were in the front, and the ninth prince and the thirteenth prince were behind.

When they heard the Fourteenth Prince speak, not only the Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince stopped, but the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince in front also stopped.

The Thirteenth Prince said truthfully: "Indeed, it was only passed on to the Crown Prince and several of my brothers."

The Fourteenth Prince knew that the results of the investigation were out. He felt bad about being excluded and showed embarrassment.

Seeing this, the eldest prince said, "Just bear with it for the last six months and study hard. You will be fine next year."

The Fourteenth Prince is fifteen this year and is in his last year in the study room.

He won't have to go to the study room next year.

"Um……"

The Fourteenth Prince nodded and said, "I just want to know what Ma Wu found out. When Big Brother comes back, tell me!"

The eldest prince said cheerfully: "Okay, wait and hear the news!"

Everyone continued to ride their horses, and soon they arrived next to the imperial carriage, and then they all dismounted.

The prince has already entered the imperial carriage.

Wei Zhu was waiting outside.

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but listen attentively, but the imperial carriage was well soundproofed and he could not hear anything.

Wei Zhu bowed to everyone and said, "The Emperor has just given instructions that you gentlemen should get in the carriage when you arrive."

The eldest prince nodded and took a few of his younger brothers into the car.

In the imperial carriage, besides Kangxi, the crown prince and Liang Jiugong, there were also Fushan and Ma Wu.

When the eldest princes came up, the room seemed not very spacious.

Seeing the princes coming in, everyone looked over, and Fushan and Ma Wu, who were originally sitting, stood up.

But surprisingly, they did not look at the eldest prince, but looked at the prince behind him.

The Ninth Prince thought something was wrong with him, so he lowered his head to take a look, and then he realized that they were not looking at him, but at the Thirteenth Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince also noticed everyone's gaze, looked up, and met Kangxi's eyes.

He was stunned and asked, "Khan Ama, this... the person who was found out was someone close to my son?"

The eldest prince, the fourth prince and the ninth prince were also surprised when they heard this.

Kangxi looked at Ma Wu and said, "Tell the princes about it!"

Ma Wu responded and told the results of the investigation.

The "rumor" did indeed come from the Thirteenth Prince's servants, and the culprit was not the guards, eunuchs, or palace maids, but a bondmaid.

By the time the guards went to arrest the person, the nanny had already left a suicide note and swallowed gold.

The Thirteenth Prince was speechless.

The people I bring with me when I go out are all my most trusted confidants.

There were two maids, one was the Thirteenth Lady's wet nurse, and the other was the Thirteenth Prince's nanny when he was young.

Since she was a bondservant, she was a nanny in the palace and the nanny of the Thirteenth Prince when he was young.

Because the servants who followed the master out of the palace, except those who served the master closely, had their daily lives arranged by the doctors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the person was missing last night, and the Guard Department found out this morning and blocked the news, so the Thirteenth Prince did not know about it.

Thirteenth Prince’s head was buzzing.

He thought about Mammy's usual behavior and raised his head and asked, "Khan Ama, did she say the reason in her suicide note?"

Was it a real suicide, or was it forced suicide?
Kangxi did not answer and looked at Ma Wu.

Ma Wu pulled out a piece of paper from the question book in front of him and handed it to the Thirteenth Prince with both hands.

The Thirteenth Prince took it, took a look at it, and was stunned.

It is indeed the handwriting of the nanny.

This nanny, the writing is in Mandarin.

It was this nanny who taught the Thirteenth Prince Chinese before he went to the study.

The Thirteenth Prince turned pale and was speechless.

It was clearly written in the "suicide note" that this nanny was instructed by the Thirteenth Prince to sow discord between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi. She was in a state of panic and now that things had failed, she only wanted death.

The Ninth Prince saw that the Thirteenth Prince looked strange, so he leaned over and took a closer look.

"That's it?"

The Ninth Prince sneered, "Is this a big or small fuss? Why is the blame placed on you? Shouldn't it be pointed at the Crown Prince or the Empress Dowager? Or directly in front of the Emperor..."

"Brother Ninth..."

The Thirteenth Prince turned to look at the Ninth Prince, with a look of helplessness on his face.

The Ninth Prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fool, what are you afraid of? Can this little trick fool Khan Ama, or can it fool the Crown Prince and Big Brother?"

The eldest prince frowned, looked at the thirteenth prince, and said, "This nanny dared to do such a thing, and even dared to kill herself. Does she have no family outside the palace?"

When working in the palace, committing suicide does not exempt you from punishment.

Even if she is outside now and not in the palace, since she is a female servant listed in the palace book, she must follow the palace rules.

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said in a daze, "Yes, Mammy was a widow who entered the palace to work as a maid. She also had a daughter who died. That's why I left her in my residence, thinking of taking care of her in her old age."

The master and servant have been together for more than ten years, and their relationship is closer than that of family members.

The Thirteenth Prince really couldn't think of any reason why the nanny would make such a choice?

Even if you were coerced, you should have reported it to him privately, which would be in line with common sense.

The Fourth Prince glanced at Kangxi and said, "Khan Ama, it's not difficult for a female servant to know what's going on in the kitchen, but it's suspicious to know what's going on with the Eighth Prince. Someone must be behind this."

Not many people knew about the petition in which the Eighth Prince requested the exhumation of the grave, and it was not widely publicized.

The Thirteenth Prince would not talk about this matter in private with a nanny.

Kangxi snorted softly, "I am not senile yet..."

As he spoke, he looked at the Ninth Prince and asked, "What nonsense you just said, did you come up with all of this on your own?"

Everyone looked at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince cleared his throat and said, "My son is just thinking that if the person behind the scenes is trying to stir up trouble, he will definitely stir up a big thing. The more confusing it is, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion. For example, if they find out that it is the Crown Prince's guards, the Empress's grandmother's bondservant, the Khan's father's messenger, or the guards of the eldest brother's palace..."

At this point, he paused, glanced at the Fourth Prince, and said, "Except for you, the next ones to go will be the Fourth Brother and his sons. There is no way it will be the Thirteenth Prince's turn, the bald one!"

This is a wrong way of putting the blame on someone!

Are you looking down on me?!
The Ninth Prince's resentment was clearly written on his face, and Kangxi was speechless looking at him.

What a good thing?

He is not so strong-willed on normal days, but he is being strong-willed at this moment.

The Crown Prince sat below Kangxi, and as he listened to the Ninth Prince's words, cold sweat broke out on his back.

If they find someone from Yuqing Palace, they will not be afraid, as it will seem more like a frame-up; if they really want to find someone who is related to the empress dowager, then even if they know someone is behind it, they can only make a big deal out of a small matter, otherwise a high-profile investigation will damage the empress dowager's reputation and easily attract criticism.

If we keep being vague like that, the mastermind behind this will escape.

It would be much easier to frame the Thirteenth Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince still had an unpleasant expression on his face, wondering who he had offended.

This is not just killing two birds with one stone, it is killing three birds with one stone, and it will also leave a bad impression on the eldest prince and the crown prince.

The Fourth Prince also looked unhappy. Today, the one who was framed was the Thirteenth Prince, but tomorrow it could be another prince.

The person behind this is despicable.

The fourth prince raised his head, looked at Kangxi and said, "Khan Ama, could it be a spy from Junggar?"

Kangxi neither nodded nor shook his head.

It was not only the Dzungars who were hoping for discord in the royal family, but also the princes of the lower five banners who were deprived of their banner rights, and the nobles of the Eight Banners who were hoping for the merit of following the emperor.

Kangxi looked at Fushan and Ma Wu and said, "Kneel down and pay your respects first. I will continue to investigate the old slave's connections in the palace!"

Fushan responded to Ma Wu and left the imperial carriage.

The carriage finally felt a little more relaxed.

Kangxi looked up impatiently to talk to his sons, pointed to the benches on both sides and said, "Sit down!"

Everyone sat down in turn.

Kangxi looked at his sons and said sternly, "The world is not peaceful. There are many people waiting to see the royal family laugh. You are old, and it is a good thing to be ambitious, but I do not allow infighting, nor can I tolerate you being instigated by others and quarreling with each other..."

These words were so serious that everyone could no longer sit still and stood up to listen attentively.

The Ninth Prince sat below the First Prince, directly opposite the Fourth Prince.

Seeing the bitter and resentful expression on the Fourth Prince's face, the Ninth Prince looked away.

As long as you have been to the Ministry of Justice and looked through the files, you will know that what Khan Ama said is false.

Why fight with people who have nothing to do with you?

Can't fight either.

The closer the relationship, the more reasons there are to fight.

A commoner's family has a few melons and two dates, but the royal family... that chair...

The Ninth Prince was a little confused. He looked at the Eldest Prince and then at the Thirteenth Prince.

These two people, one is the prince's whetstone, and the other is the right-hand man chosen by the emperor's father for the prince. Will they fight in the future...
