Chapter 126 Yinzhen is under house arrest
Yinzhen told the fourteenth prince what Wanyan had done. Yinzhen said that my wife couldn't be so stupid: "I don't lack money. If I do, my father will make up for it. I also have the fourth and ninth brothers to help me. Why would I have to get involved with the eighth brother?"

"Look carefully, your wife also used Uya's power in the Imperial Household Department. Your mother gave the person to you, not so that you can betray her at the critical moment." Yinzhen was vicious in his words, and he picked out the Fourteenth Prince's mistakes and criticized them fiercely. Apart from anything else, he felt very comfortable.

"No, how come it is related to my mother? This ignorant and stupid woman, Fourth Brother, wait for me to go back and ask her clearly!" After saying that, the Fourteenth Prince ran out in a flash despite Yinzhen's mocking gaze.

After leaving the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Yinzhen stopped his horse only when he could no longer see the main entrance: "Old Eight! How dare you cheat me!!!"

Despite Yinzhen's reminder, the Fourteenth Prince could do nothing about the impeachment of the officials. Those shops were notorious for laundering money for corrupt officials, and each of them had a case involving a murder.

Many imperial censors had long been eyeing these shops, but were unable to find the owners behind them, so they could only investigate secretly.

Who would have thought that the Fourteenth Lady would announce with great fanfare that the shop belonged to the Fourteenth Prince? In this case, the censors celebrated the New Year in advance, and Kangxi received so many impeachment memorials against the Fourteenth Prince that he could not even place them on the table.

In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was kneeling on the ground and listening to instructions obediently.

"Are you still short of money? Talk to me. I support your whole family. What do you need the money for?" Kangxi paced back and forth in front of Yinzhen.

Yinzhen kowtowed until his forehead was bruised and purple: "Father, this is all my fault. I thought that my brother loved me and gave me two innocuous shops. I had no idea what was going on! Father, I am innocent!"

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen's head impatiently, feeling that it hurt his eyes: "Where is the evidence? You are still blaming your brother without any evidence. I have neglected your studies in these years."

"From today on, you will be confined to your home for three months and punished to serve in the imperial court for one year. You must study the books of sages in the palace!"

Yinzhen walked out of the Yangxin Palace with his head hung and headed straight for the Yonghe Palace. He would not be able to go out for three months, so he had to go and comfort his mother first.

After hearing Liang Jiugong's report, Kangxi did not stop Yinzhen: "This child, with the fourth son and his mother watching over him, is a little naive!"

Liang Jiugong listened, thinking that this meant that some people were not naive. They were all princes and he had no place to speak. He lowered his head and pretended that he didn't have these ears.

"Liang Jiugong, do you think what Fourteen said is true?"

Liang Jiugong bent his waist even lower: "Your Majesty is wise and has made his own decision. I dare not interfere."

"It's enough for Fourteen to be three times as cautious as you." Kangxi said with a smile.

Liang Jiugong served tea without saying a word.

In Yonghe Palace, Wanyan was crying with her face covered. Concubine De glared at Yihuan and said, "I asked you to take good care of the Fourteenth House, and you are so careless?!"

Yihuan took a deep breath and knelt on the ground: "In reply to your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master's house is always under the care of the Prince. If there are things of yours, there must be things of the Fourteenth Master. This sister-in-law wants to buy property for herself, and I really can't interfere."

In this era, even the mother-in-law cannot openly interfere with her daughter-in-law's dowry, let alone her as a sister-in-law.

Wanyan's crying became louder. Defei was fed up with it and slammed the table: "Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry. I'm still alive. Who are you crying for?" After hearing such heart-piercing words, Wanyan could no longer sit still. She knelt beside Yihuan. No one spoke in the room. For a moment, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The Fourteenth Prince came in at this time. He followed behind Yinzhen and had obviously been scolded all the way.

When Yinzhen entered the room and saw Yihuan kneeling, he frowned.

"Your son pays respects to the queen." Yinzhen bowed and stretched out his hand to Yihuan. "You are so stupid. You always make the queen angry. But the queen is kind. If you keep kneeling like this, people will think that the queen is a wicked mother-in-law who blames her daughter-in-law. Hurry up and don't let the queen down."

Yihuan didn't expect Yinzhen to say these words. She put her hand on Yinzhen's hand, and when she stood up, she saw Defei's dark eyes.

Defei liked Yinzhen more, probably because he was easier to control. Yinzhen was different, he had his own ideas and would not be easily influenced by others. Yihuan suddenly felt that she might have found the truth, and this was the reason why Yinzhen and his mother were not on good terms. They were both people with strong control desires, so naturally they had fierce conflicts.

Seeing this, Yinzhen also pulled Wanyan up. Although he hated the Eighth Prince and his wife, he was still tolerant of Wanyan and did not vent his anger on her.

"Mother, the Emperor has confined his son to his home for three months. During this time, he cannot come to Yonghe Palace to show his filial piety. If you miss your son, send Hongchun to you to take care of him for a few days."

Wanyan wanted to stop it, but she was too guilty to speak.

Concubine De always spoke to her youngest son in a friendly manner: "You should learn from your mistakes. Next time you encounter something like this, please discuss it with your fourth brother."

"I understand, son." Yinzhen answered obediently.

"Old Four, I will not interfere with the fight between you and Old Eight, but remember, don't implicate innocent people!" De Fei said in a light tone, "Okay, I am tired today, let's go back."

Yinzhen no longer had the heart to laugh at the Fourteenth Master. He walked in front with a grim face. Fortunately, even in his rage, he still remembered to consider Yihuan's legs and feet and did not walk very fast.

It's like this again. Just because I'm the older brother, I have to always support the Fourteenth Brother. Why?
Yinzhen had been scolded all morning, and when he saw his fourth brother's character, his rebellious mentality came out completely. He jumped up and down at the palace gate: "Why are you acting like a big brother? The emperor didn't say anything!"

Yinzhen was hit so hard that his heart, liver and lungs hurt. Yihuan held his hand tightly, and frowned slightly, thinking that it would turn blue. But she did not pull her hand back, and was held all the way.

After returning home, Yinzhen had almost calmed down. He loosened his hand, and Yihuan shrank back into her sleeve. Perhaps the action was a little abrupt, so Yinzhen pulled Yihuan's sleeve open.

"Why don't you tell me if it hurts? It's all my fault." Yinzhen gently pulled Yihuan's wrist and came to the main courtyard. He asked someone to bring an ice pack and applied ice to Yihuan himself, regardless of the cold.

"It doesn't hurt that much." Yihuan smiled gently. "Just now on the way, I was thinking that the last time our family went out to relax, we came back halfway, and the children haven't experienced the joy of the countryside yet. I wonder when grandpa will be free to take us out again."

Yinzhen really likes farming, and he looked much more relaxed after hearing this: "It's not difficult, Fu Jin just prepare first, we can go anytime."

"To be honest with you, Lord Prince, I picked some green vegetables in the corner last time. They should be ripe now, so it's a good time to pick them and eat them." Yihuan showed a longing look.

Yinzhen smiled, nodded, and began to concentrate on giving Yihuan cold compress.
