"How dare you!" Emperor Kangxi's face darkened instantly. "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Rouze sounded the drum to report her case. Although he said he would conduct a thorough investigation and give Rouze an explanation, he had no intention of actually doing anything to Concubine Yi.

After all, it's been so many years since this happened.

It is impossible for Hongchang to return to normal.

Besides, there is no witness or physical evidence in this matter, so it would be useless even if Rou Ze beat the drum to report it.

Since Hongxi has made up his mind, he is determined to clear his and Hongchang's name.

He hadn't thought about this matter in the past few years and could sleep peacefully. Now that he knew that he was instigated by someone and harmed Hongchang, how could he accept this fact calmly?

Hongxi fell to his knees with a thud.

"Grandfather, I know what you are talking about."

"At the beginning, my grandson was young and ignorant, and became a knife in the hands of Empress Yi Zu, harming my brother Hongchang."

"I have been unable to sleep at night these years. I thought that this matter would just pass. As long as I didn't say anything, no one would know. I could live my life deceiving myself."

"But when I heard that Fourth Aunt had sounded the drum to report the incident, I knew that this matter could no longer be hidden."

Hongxi bowed deeply.

"My grandson has never done anything wrong in his life, but this one thing has made him unable to sleep and eat well."

"Originally, brother Hongchang could also be like my grandson, studying, being a good person, and understanding the world, but..."

Hongxi thought about Hongchang's recent situation, which he had heard by chance.

He is mentally ignorant and stupid. He cannot distinguish between the kindness and malice of others, or between good and bad.

If I hadn't been born in a royal family and hadn't had someone to serve me, I would have died soon outside.

Hongxi still remembers that when Hongchang was born, strange phenomena appeared in the sky and everyone said that he was the god of literature who had descended to earth.

"If it weren't for me, if it weren't for Empress Yi Zu, my grandfather would have a grandson who is the god of literature."

Emperor Kangxi finally remembered this.

Yes, how much he valued Hongchang’s identity as the incarnation of Wenquxing.

"Stand up, don't kneel down."

Emperor Kangxi felt sorry for Hongxi and said, "I will check what you said."

"I also ask the Royal Grandfather to give Brother Hongchang some justice."

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

Emperor Kangxi immediately called Concubine Yi.

In addition, relevant people such as Defei, Yinzhen, Rouze, Yixiu and Hongchang were naturally also called.

When Concubine Yi saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat.

She said to Emperor Kangxi: "How could the emperor take the child's nonsense seriously? It caused such a big fuss."

Emperor Kangxi glanced at her indifferently.

Although Concubine Yi was his beloved woman, he didn't want to pursue this matter further.

But when he thought of the Wenquxing he had lost, and the many stupid things Concubine Yi had done in the past year, he felt that he should take action.

"The hearing drum has already been struck, how can it be just a joke among children?"

"Say less and save your energy for your defense."

In front of everyone, Hongxi talked about what Concubine Yi did to him for the third time.

Concubine Yi looked unhappy. "Your Majesty, are you going to convict me for a few words from Hongxi?"

"He was only a very young boy then, and so many years have passed, so it's possible that he remembered it wrongly."

Hongxi pointed to the sky and said, "I swear to heaven that what I said is true. If I say even a single word is false, I will bear all the consequences."

Concubine Yi burst into tears and said, "Hongxi, I have treated you well, why did you frame me like this? Hongchang is not a concubine in the harem, why would I attack him? What good will this do me?"

Hongxi didn't explain this question.

"My grandson doesn't dare to guess what Empress Yi Zu is thinking. I only know what Empress Yi Zu said to me."

"As for the motive, it is Empress Yi Zu's own business."

Concubine Yi glanced at Emperor Kangxi and saw that his face was solemn and expressionless.

She didn't know what Emperor Kangxi was thinking now, but she still tried her best to defend herself.

"Your Majesty, as I said, I have no motive to harm Hongchang."

"It must be that Yinreng and Yinzhen are good friends, because Yinlu almost hurt Yinzhen before, so Yinreng asked Hongxi to come and avenge Yinzhen."

"Your Majesty, Yinzhen has already known that he was wrong, and I also know that I was wrong. Your Majesty has punished me, so how can you let this matter involve me again?"

Emperor Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi thoughtfully. It turned out that his favorite concubine was so sharp-tongued.

At this time, Yinzhen also stood up to sell his sympathy, "Father, Hongchang has had a very hard time these years."

"He could read and write like any other child, but now he has no knowledge at all."

"As long as there's no one watching him, he can get himself dirty in no time."

"Today his son can protect him, and he can still live a good life, but what will he do in the future? How can he marry and have children in the future?"

"Father Emperor, Hongchang has suffered so much these years."

Emperor Kangxi was also a little heartbroken after hearing this.

Hongchang is different from other imperial grandchildren. Hongchang was truly raised by him.

He also poured his affection and expectations into Hongchang.

Yixiu stood aside, glanced at Rouze, and then glanced at Hongchang.

Although Hongchang is a little stupid, he has a clear mind and never tells lies.

The last time he told the truth, didn’t he also betray Rouze?

Maybe ask Hongchang, he still remembers what happened that year.

"Father, I have an idea. We can ask Hongchang himself."

Yinzhen shouted in a low voice, "Nonsense!"

Yi Xiu said seriously: "Although the Emperor's father Hong Chang has the mind of a child, he never tells lies. Perhaps he still remembers what happened that year. If he doesn't remember, it won't be too late to ask Concubine Yi to produce evidence that he didn't do it."

Rouze rarely stood on the same front with Yixiu, and she nodded, "Although Hongchang's mind is uncivilized, he really doesn't tell lies."

Yixiu walked up to Hongchang.

In fact, Hongchang was born very well. He inherited the advantages of Yinzhen and Rouze, and was handsome.

If his eyes were more lively, he would be a handsome young man.

"Hongchang."

"Mother." Hongchang's voice was a little happy. So many people on the field argued for him just now, but it didn't affect him at all.

Yixiu pointed at Hongxi and said, "Hongchang, look who that is, do you remember?"

"Remember, remember, it's Brother Hongxi."

"Hongchang loves playing with Hongxi brother the most!"

When Hongxi heard Hongchang's familiar tone, tears almost fell.

He had never seen Hongchang again since Hongchang left the palace that year.

I thought he had forgotten me long ago, but I didn't expect that Hongchang still remembered him.

He still remembers him as his "Brother Hongxi".

When he was young, Hongchang always followed him closely, calling him "brother, brother".

He made the right decision to come today, and he felt relieved all of a sudden.
