Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

While rushing back to the capital from Tongcheng, Li Rongbao killed two horses.

The moment the third horse leaped into the capital, it knelt on the ground. Fortunately, Li Rongbao rolled over and landed safely.

These days, he has been wearing armor when traveling, partly to prevent ambushes.

But the facts have proved that Lao Jiu's power is far from infiltrating the army, and it is not enough to use people for assassination.

On the other hand, because the horses were running day and night, he was worried that he would fall asleep on the horse.

If you happen to fall down, the armor will at least protect you from getting injured and unable to continue walking.

Before reporting to Kangxi, Li Rongbao should have informed his brothers in the mansion.

After all, although he is now the head of the Fucha family, his brothers in the mansion are too outstanding, and each of them is more powerful than him.

As the head of the family, he has nothing to do.

However, this time, he did not even return to Fucha Mansion, but went straight into the palace.

Li Rongbao reported all the results of his investigation in Tongcheng to Kangxi, but he knew the pros and cons, so he naturally did not mention that Yixiu was also there. He only mentioned that the Fourteenth Prince had come.

The two clerks also arrived in the capital safely. After interrogating them, Emperor Kangxi had a clear idea of ​​the situation.

After all, it was a matter of expediency, and the Fourteenth Prince also wanted to clear Yinzhen's name and prevent his father from being deceived, so everyone had to act together temporarily.

"evil creature!"

Kangxi threw the memorial in his hand onto the table and said angrily, "How dare you use human life to win favor? If this gets out, I will lose all my face!"

"Tell me the truth. What's the situation outside? Are there any additional casualties?"

"We must save lives first. Floods often lead to hunger. We must not allow the disaster to escalate further!"

"Your Majesty. When Prince Yong left, he forced local officials to open their granaries and release grain. I think the people still have some surplus grain."

"Hmm..." Kangxi agreed softly. He didn't expect that he had wrongly blamed the fourth brother this time.

Even before going to Beijing to answer for his crime, the fourth brother was still thinking of making arrangements in advance.

"Li Rongbao, you didn't show me this evidence on purpose, did you?" Kangxi suddenly looked at Li Rongbao. He remembered that Li Rongbao had been Yinzhen's study partner, and they had heard that they had a good relationship over the years.

"You're not trying to help Old Four get away with this, so..."

Kangxi asked again hesitantly.

"What did the Emperor say?"

Li Rongbao couldn't believe that the emperor would ask such a question. Although he heard it twice in a row, he still felt that maybe he didn't hear it clearly...

"Nothing." Kangxi tactfully did not ask the question for the third time.

He admitted that his suspicion just now was not so much about suspecting Li Rongbao or even the Fucha family, but rather that he was unwilling to admit that he had wronged Yinzhen.

And Yinzhen was not only the Prince Yong conferred by him personally, but he was also probably his most outstanding son now.

--------------------

The imperial edict of appeasement was issued quickly, even faster than the punishment.

Yinzhen had only returned a few days ago when he received the imperial edict personally brought by Sandezi.

In order not to implicate his wife and children, he did not return to the palace in the past few days. He spent every day in the villa like a year. There were many rumors in the capital. Even if the door of the palace was closed, he still felt that there were voices accusing him of corruption slipping in through the gaps in the doors and windows.

This was naturally Yinzhen's illusion, but he hated corrupt people the most!

Now he has been labeled with such a stigma, which makes him feel like he has something stuck in his throat, but he can't just open the door and rush out to say that he is not greedy for money.

The worst thing was that when he came back he heard that Yixiu was sick. He was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to not go to see her. He didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Fortunately, the emperor now has a keen eye and knows that he was wronged.

"The Emperor is just worried about the rumors outside. He must still trust the Prince in his heart."

After San Dezi delivered the imperial edict and said goodbye, Yinzhen returned home, and Rouze immediately came to greet Yinzhen.

"I heard from Eunuch San Dezi that as soon as the emperor got the news, he immediately issued an imperial decree to appease the prince, saying that he would summon the prince to the palace to have dinner together, and he would also bring Concubine De with him."

"It seems that the emperor is distressed this time."

Rouze said this with a smile, but she had other plans in mind.

Now that Yixiu is ill, it can be said that Yinzhen's entry into the palace for dinner is a family matter. If he could take me with him, he could just go to Yonghe Palace to observe and see where to start.

After all, Concubine De was displeased with her in every way, and she didn't want to go to Yonghe Palace alone.

Of course, Rou Ze would not admit it. If Yonghe Palace received her visiting card for no reason, Aunt Zhuxi would have thrown it away without Concubine De's order.

San Dezi's order was urgent, so he had no choice but to send Su Peisheng to comfort Yixiu first. He hurriedly packed up and took Rouze into the palace.

However, what Yinzhen did not expect was that the news after entering the palace poured cold water on his newly excited heart.

"You came."

Kangxi smiled and said, "I'll ask your mother to come over later, so we can talk first."

He looked up at Kangxi with a kind smile. When they were alone, Yinzhen rarely saw Kangxi with this expression. He couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, thinking that all the grievances he had suffered these days were nothing. As long as the emperor knew that he was wronged, it would be fine.

However, Kangxi's next words disappointed Yinzhen: "I am very sad about the matter of the ninth son, but for the sake of the royal family's reputation, I can't punish him too severely now."

"I have already ordered his mother, Concubine Yi, to teach him well..."

"I have decided to demote him to a Beile, no longer a prince..."

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

But he still hoped that Yinzhen could forgive Yinlu.

When he heard Concubine Yi's name, Yinzhen knew in his heart that Kangxi forgave him so easily because of Concubine Yi's plea.

Such a big thing happened, not only was he wronged, but the lives of the people were also lost, but the emperor still chose to forgive.

In Yinzhen's mind, the reason why Yinlu dared to frame him so boldly was inseparable from Concubine Yi's favor.

When he figured out this relationship, he felt bitter in his heart.

The Emperor's father had never favored him so much, and neither had his mother's...

However, Yinzhen knew that although Kangxi appeared to be kind on the surface, the imperial majesty was inviolable.

It's useless to say anything more.

He simply took the opportunity to propose to Kangxi that since he was now in the capital and his fourteenth brother had already arrived in Tongcheng, it would be better to temporarily hand over all the matters originally handled by him to his fourteenth brother.

Kangxi readily agreed. He was used to Yinzhen being so obedient and sensible.
