Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Yinzhen said what he needed to say, and seeing that Kangxi had become suspicious, he stopped talking.

When Yinti came, Kangxi had already finished asking Zhang Mingde all the questions.When Yinti saw Kangxi staring at him with cold and angry eyes, he broke out in a cold sweat again. It was a hot day, but he felt as if he was in the twelfth lunar month, and his whole body was very cold.

After he and Zhang Mingde planned to act tonight, he was not at ease.Although he thought the plan was foolproof, and he had already spent all his time changing all the guards around the crown prince, it can be said that it went very smoothly, as long as there were no accidents, he would definitely succeed.

However, because the plan went very smoothly, and because it went so smoothly, Yinti was a little worried, for fear that there would be problems.

So at night, Yinti felt restless and unable to fall asleep, so he could only drink cups of tea to relieve his tense nerves. He almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

When Yinti heard that all the assassins on the crown prince's side had been captured and only a few people were injured, Yinti's face turned pale, and then he heard that the crown prince was not injured. At the critical moment, he was the crown prince's concubine When blocking the sword for the crown prince, Yinti's face became even paler.

He knew that if one blow failed, everything would be over.

Yinti was so restless that he forgot that he should rush to the Crown Prince's side at this time, until Li Bing'an, the personal eunuch, came to tell him that the Emperor had gone to the Crown Prince's side, and he calmed down a bit. And when he learned that Liang Jiugong was ordered to invite him, Yinti was really scared in his heart. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that if such a big event happened, as long as the assassin was not dead, Kangxi would definitely interrogate the assassin himself.

Yinti followed Liang Jiugong all the way here, thinking in his heart how he should respond if Zhang Mingde confessed him.

However, after seeing Kangxi, Yinti panicked even more, but he didn't know what the situation was, and Yinti couldn't help himself, so he had to suppress the panic in his heart and walked to Kangxi calmly: "To Huang Ama Please greet me. My son, my son is late!"

"Late? Do you know that you are late? Yinfeng was assassinated. If you wait for your rescue, the assassins may all run away! Tell me, how did you arrange the guards of Zhen and the Crown Prince? Did the assassin get in?"

Kangxi's persecution made Yinti break out in a cold sweat, and Yinti had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty: "Please forgive me, Huang Ama, it's my negligence!"

"Forgiveness? I'm afraid it's impossible," Kangxi pointed to the assassin on the ground, and said coldly, "I have already interrogated you before you came. This person is Zhang Mingde, the leader. Do you know him?"

Yinti didn't dare to say that he didn't know him, and he refused to admit that he knew him. It wasn't until Kangxi stared at him and asked again, that Yinti replied hesitantly: "...Erchen knows him."

There is really no way to evade saying that I don't know it.After he met Zhang Mingde at that time, he felt that this person was really a master, so he had the heart to show off. Among the princes of the clan, he took Zhang Mingde to recommend him everywhere, and even let Zhang Mingde go to many people's houses. Kangxi knew about these things by showing those people, if he shirked and said he didn't know at this time, wouldn't this make Kangxi even more suspicious?

"However, Huang Ama, I just know him, I don't know that this person is so bold to do such a rebellious thing, I advocate that Zhang Mingde and his party should be executed now!"

"Brother's words are so light. If Zhang Mingde was ordered by someone to commit such a serious crime, and if he executed Zhang Mingde according to what the elder brother said, wouldn't the person who ordered him know about it?"

It was Yinfeng who had just entered the room who was talking at this moment. When he heard Yinti's words, he said directly, "The matter hasn't been investigated yet, why did the elder brother want to kill someone? Zhang Mingde was familiar with the elder brother before, but now he commits a crime again." For such a felony, the elder brother is eager to kill him, is he afraid that his affairs will hurt you? But if the elder brother is open-minded, I think it has nothing to do with Zhang Mingde. your."

"You—" Yinti was annoyed when he heard Yinreng's words, but seeing Kangxi waving his hand, he stopped talking.

Kangxi asked Yinfeng: "Is your concubine better?"

"Returning to Emperor Ama, the imperial doctor is still treating her. My son went to see her, but she is still unconscious due to excessive blood loss,"

Yinfeng pursed his lips and said, "Huang Ama, if she hadn't blocked the sword for me and won the time for the guards to break in to rescue me, the person lying there now must be Erchen. Erchen will also lose blood like her Too much, unconscious."

Yinfeng lifted his clothes and knelt down, "Huang Ama, also beg Huang Ama to do something for my son and find out the real culprit who wants to take my son's life."

These few words from Yinreng carry so much weight that Kangxi couldn't help but think of the situation after Yinreng was assassinated, which he absolutely cannot accept.

Thinking of this, Kangxi nodded, and then asked Yinfeng to get up: "I know, this matter is of great importance, and I will definitely not tolerate it. You just stand up and wait, and let me handle it."

Yinfeng got up after having said what he should say, silently stood by Kangxi's side, and stood at the same place with Yinzhen, without saying a word.

I saw Kangxi looking at Yinti and said: "Before the execution, when I grabbed this piece of Mingde, the fourth elder brother asked first. I don't know what this piece of Mingde answered. I asked the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother said he would not dare. Said, I decided to ask myself. Before you came, I had interrogated myself. Do you know who Zhang Mingde was talking about? Zhang Mingde told me that you were the one who asked him to lead someone to assassinate the crown prince. You Zhijun Wang eldest brother!"

Hearing this, Yinti panicked immediately, and looked at Kangxi with his neck straightened and said: "Ama Huang, he is spitting blood, planting and framing, my son and minister are wronged! Ama Huang, you can't just rely on this one-sided words I believe he thought it was my son who did it! My son, how could my son do such a rebellious thing?"

In fact, Kangxi was dubious about Zhang Mingde's words, because at present, there is really no conclusive evidence to prove that the assassination was instigated by Yinti.

However, in the face of Yinti's grievances, Kangxi was still very calm: "But Zhang Mingde does have an inexplicable relationship with you, and you are indeed closely related to this person. So, regarding the assassination, you still It cannot be cleared of suspicion."

The dirty water couldn't be poured away, Yinti panicked and became quick-witted, he couldn't get out by himself, but he could drag people in, and immediately said: "Huang Ama, this is definitely not what I did. It must have been done by someone else! I am not the only one who is closely related to Zhang Mingde. Since I have accepted the task of guarding the emperor Ama and the crown prince, how can I guard myself and steal? I think... I think, It must be, it must be the Eighth Brother who did it! Yes, it was the Eighth Brother who did it!"

In order to get himself out, Yinti decided to fight.

"Brother Eight?" Kangxi frowned, "You mean Yinhu?"

At that time, the elder brothers who accompanied Kangxi on the southern tour had already arrived, and Yinti was also standing beside him. When he heard Yinti open his mouth, he said that he did this. would say so.

But Yinhu's reaction was quick, and he knelt in front of Kangxi without blushing and said: "My son was wronged, and my son never did such a thing. Please also ask Huang Ama to be careful. What's more, my son and I The crown prince is a blood brother, and he has never met that Zhang Mingde, how could my son do such a thing?"

"Why not?"

Yinti opened his mouth and bit Yinhu out, and he had already made up nonsense during the back and forth. Hearing Yinhu's words now, he immediately said confidently, "Eighth Brother, don't deny it outright. , You said you don’t know Zhang Mingde, how is this possible? I remember, when I recommended Zhang Mingde to your house, didn’t you meet him? Not only you, but also the ninth and tenth brothers were present , and, at that meeting, didn't the ninth brother and the tenth brother still publicize it for you for a long time?"

Kangxi looked at Yinhu and asked him: "Zhang Mingde really went to your house? You saw him, what did you say to him?"

This question is not difficult, but Yinhu can't answer it, or in other words, he is unwilling to answer this question.

But Yinti didn't have so many scruples. Seeing that Yinhu refused to answer, he said it for him: "I see that the eighth younger brother has only one son, and Fujin has not given birth to a son for the eighth younger brother for many years, so I recommend him." Zhang Mingde went to show the eighth brother whether he had any sons. But when Zhang Mingde saw the eighth brother, he shouted that the eighth brother was lucky. The ninth and tenth brothers who were present at the time asked Zhang Mingde what he said about the eighth brother. Zhang Mingde replied that the eighth brother will be very expensive in the future. He also quietly told the eighth brother that as long as the eighth brother wants to be rich and powerful, he also has more than ten people under his command who can help the eighth brother achieve success. However, after Zhang Mingde finished speaking, the eighth brother sternly rejected him, and even kicked Zhang Mingde out of Baylor Mansion!"

"However," Yinti looked at Yinti and said, "Eighth brother, I never thought that you are such a person! You drove Zhang Mingde away on the surface, but colluded with Zhang Mingde secretly to plan a Such an outrageous thing to do!"

Yinhu wanted to defend, but was stopped by Kangxi raising his hand, Kangxi asked Yinti: "According to what you said, you are not in Yinhu's house, how do you know so clearly?"

"Don't hide it from Huang Ama, when Zhang Mingde came back from the eighth brother's house, he talked about it with his son as a joke, and said that the eighth brother was so virtuous that even he was not tempted by saying that. The ninth and tenth brothers spread the word everywhere, and everyone outside knows about it, and Huang Ama will find out when he checks it out." Yinti pretended to be heartbroken, "I just never thought that the eighth brother colluded with Zhang Mingde in private. What he did was all pretending to be seen by others, and my son was deceived by him!"

The more Yinti talked, the more proud he felt. Look, didn't this matter come to fruition?He thought that he blamed Yinhu for everything. Even if Kangxi wanted to punish him, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty and negligence, and Yinhu would be his scapegoat.

However, when he looked up at Kangxi's expression, he found something was wrong. Kangxi stared at him sternly, obviously much more serious than the expression just now.

Yinti didn't understand for a while, what happened to Huang Ama?Why are you getting more and more angry?
