The Fourth Master's Dog

Duofu was sleeping in Chengqian Palace when he suddenly felt cold and shivered. His consciousness became a little fuzzy, and he fell asleep again with his mouth smacking.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen had a cold face and did not go anywhere. The eunuchs serving beside him were all frightened and knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

Not long after, Liang Jiugong brought a group of people with Kangxi's order, requiring the fourth prince Yinzhen to go to the Yangxin Palace immediately.

Liang Jiugong was also worried. When he first heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong. Who would have thought that the Fourth Prince would cut the Ninth Prince's braid.

After asking the subordinates about the news, he learned that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen cut his younger brother's braid for the little white dog he raised. The Emperor was very angry, and the anger on his face was not hidden at all. He asked Liang Jiugong to bring the Fourth Prince over immediately.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen did not resist. He followed the crowd and walked to the palace road of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He walked forward without looking around, and there was no trace of regret on his face.

Liang Jiugong secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. When the Emperor saw Fourth Prince Yinzhen in this state, he would get angry again. Life in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity was about to return to normal, and now it would be really difficult.

Concubine Yi and the Ninth Prince were crying in the Yangxin Palace. The bright and generous Concubine Yi was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. Liang Jiugong had never seen such a thing before. Not to mention that he, a rootless person, felt heartbroken, the Emperor must be even more heartbroken.

Concubine Yi was favored, and she had two princes. The ninth prince was still young. If the elder brother cut his younger brother's braid, the Emperor would definitely give Concubine Yi an explanation.

It is likely that Fourth Prince Yinzhen will be in danger when he returns to the Yangxin Palace this time.

Moreover, there was no sign of Concubine De from Yonghe Palace coming to His Majesty to beg for mercy. The look Liang Jiugong gave to Fourth Prince Yinzhen was filled with pity.

Queen Tong is dead, and his own mother doesn't care. It's really pitiful. No one is willing to help the Emperor when he is so furious.

Liang Jiugong couldn't bear it and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Fourth Prince, when you get in front of His Majesty later, you need to be more gentle and admit your mistakes quickly so that His Majesty can calm down and make things less serious."

"Don't be stubborn. The whole world belongs to His Majesty. You have to coax Him. Queen Tong just passed away. His Majesty still has you in his heart..."

Along the way, Liang Jiugong spoke a lot earnestly. He also knew that the Emperor still cared about his son in his heart. During this period, he also asked about the news of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

How to say?

This is also a child raised by Queen Tong. His Majesty still has some different feelings towards the Fourth Prince. Although he is not as good as the Crown Prince, he is still better than his other sons.

But now that Queen Tong is gone, it’s hard to say how the Fourth Prince will be treated in the future.

Liang Jiugong also sighed in his heart, but his steps did not slow down much. The Emperor was still angry in the Yangxin Palace.

He doesn't have the ability to bear the wrath of His Majesty.

Looking up, she saw the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who still had a stern face. She just hoped that the Fourth Prince would be more aware of the current situation, as he no longer had Queen Tong as his backup.

Liang Jiugong was thinking about what his subordinates said, that this series of events was caused by the dog in Chengqian Palace. He still remembered that dog, which was raised by the Fourth Prince and was plump and white, and looked very lovable and blessed.

He remembered that it was when Empress Tong was still alive that she chose the dog for the Fourth Prince, and she had raised it for seven or eight years.

Judging from the Fourth Prince's attitude, that fat, white and blessed dog may not be able to be saved.

His Majesty is furious now, and this dog might become the victim of this misfortune.

It was he who caused the conflict between his two sons and asked the Fourth Prince Yinzhen to cut the Ninth Prince's braid.

How to solve this problem? It all depends on the attitude of His Majesty.

Liang Jiugong took a deep breath, looked at the somewhat stubborn Fourth Prince Yinzhen, shook his head, and spoke in a low voice.

"Fourth Prince, let me say one more thing here. His Majesty is very angry right now. If this matter is not handled properly, the dog you raised might not be able to save his life this time."

Fourth Prince Yinzhen's face changed. He could accept any other punishment, except the Emperor touching his dog.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen clenched his hands, bit his lower lip tightly, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I understand, thank you, Eunuch Liang."

Liang Jiugong showed a smile on his face. As long as he knew how to give in, it would be fine. In the harem, he couldn't confront the Emperor head-on.

Whoever touches him dies.

"That's right. When we get to the Yangxin Palace, the Fourth Prince should be more gentle. Concubine Yi and the Ninth Prince are also in the Yangxin Palace. Be careful, Fourth Prince."

Liang Jiugong was not a nosy person to begin with, but Empress Tong treated him well during her lifetime. Although he was indeed arrogant and domineering in the harem and was very jealous of His Majesty, Empress Tong looked down on everyone equally except her and His Majesty.

Her attitude towards him was no different from that towards other concubines. She would not show any expression of disdain or disgust just because he was a eunuch.

Other concubines in the harem, who had been favored by the Emperor for a period of time, could not hide their deep disdain for eunuchs.

No matter how nice the words were, or how much money and property they were given, he looked at them with such haughtiness that they seemed like rats in a gutter.

Only Queen Tong, although she also looked down on him, looked down on the concubines in the harem even more.

On the contrary, they treated him with some courtesy, because he had always been taking care of the Emperor and taking care of his daily life. Empress Tong liked him much more than the other beauties in the harem.

Liang Jiugong felt that he was still a real person and not disabled. Queen Tong treated him like a normal person. Although she was high and mighty, she did not look down on eunuchs like them.

Liang Jiugong was willing to waste his words on the Fourth Prince Yinzhen at this time. At other times, he would not say a word and would just stay in front of the Emperor and do his work obediently. He would do whatever the Emperor asked him to do and would never do anything that was not his responsibility.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen showed a trace of gratitude on his face. He indeed had not expected that the angry father of the emperor would chop off his Duofu in a rage.

This is indeed possible if he insists on being silent as originally planned, adding fuel to the Emperor's anger.

If he is severely punished, the emperor might get so angry that he orders Duofu to be killed.
