Chapter 191 Antidote
The prince and the emperor had a short honeymoon. Upon learning that that annoying kid Honghui was again kept by Kangxi, Yinreng looked at Hongzhao with a subtle look.

The emperor valued legitimate grandsons so much, why did he still miss Honghui after he had Hongzhao? The importance of a legitimate grandson was far less than he had imagined.

Tong Guining saw that Yinreng looked upset, so she immediately asked the nurse to take Hongzhao away: "Your Highness, Hongzhao should go and do his homework."

Yinreng chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Everything I have will be inherited by Hongzhao. He is safe."

Tong Guining was a little stiff after her thoughts were exposed: "I didn't mean that."

"Then don't let anyone secretly investigate my whereabouts." Yinreng warned, "If it happens again, I don't mind changing Hongzhao's birth mother."

"I acknowledge my guilt." Tong Guining didn't expect that despite being so careful, she was still discovered by Yinreng. She apologized with a pale face.

Fortunately, the prince treated her with care. Tong Guining thought about the little information she had gotten during this period and had a preliminary guess about the prince's plan. This guess made her shudder with fear.

When Honghui saw Kangxi, he was in a trance for a moment. Is this man in front of him who is afraid of cold and has wrinkles all over his face really the omnipotent Emperor Kangxi?
The distraction lasted only for a moment. Honghui suppressed all his thoughts and stood in front of Kangxi: "Honghui pays respects to the Emperor."

Kangxi looked up and could only see the blurry outline of the person in front of him. He stretched out his hand: "You are here."

Honghui moved in the direction of his finger, his nose felt a little sour, and he blurted out subconsciously: "Huang Mafa, you must take care of your body."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment. He could feel Honghui's concern from the bottom of his heart, and his heart warmed: "Your Majesty, you can still watch Honghui marry and have children, and enjoy the happiness of family life with your great-grandchildren. You don't have to worry about me."

Honghui fiddled with the stove to make the charcoal burn more vigorously: "Huang Mafa, you are like this, and so is my mother. You usually don't take care of your body. It's just a cold, but you've lost half your life."

"Little Wolf keeps exercising every day, so he rarely gets sick. From today on, your grandson will accompany you for a walk after dinner. It's not good for you to lie in the house all the time."

Kangxi listened to Honghui's chattering without feeling annoyed, and just listened attentively.

Liang Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the grandfather and grandson having so much fun together. This was a rare peaceful time in the Yangxin Palace.

He had just put his heart at ease when he turned around and saw Prince Yu and Prince Yong arriving with the Eighth Beile. He secretly cried out in dismay.

Yes, yesterday the Emperor approved the Eighth Prince’s request for an audience, and today he ran into Young Master Honghui. Is this... a coincidence?

Liang Jiugong looked back at the Yangxin Palace. The scene of the grandparents and grandchildren living in harmony was still there, but he could not feel any warmth at all.

Just after that, the Ninth Prince also arrived. After Liang Jiugong finished reporting to Kangxi, Honghui stood up to leave, but the emperor stopped him: "They are all relatives. It's not a secret. You are old enough to listen to these things."

Honghui stood up and stood beside Kangxi, giving up the stage.

Yinsi had been in jail for several days. Although Prince Yu did not make things difficult for him, the daily anxiety was enough to bother him. At this time, he was kneeling on the ground with an unshaven beard, a haggard face, and messy clothes.

Prince Yu spoke first: "Your Majesty, I have interrogated Lao Ba twice, but Lao Ba refused to admit it each time. I think there may be some hidden truth in this, and Lao Ba also wants to explain it to you in person."

Yinsi burst into tears: "Father, you have convicted me of a crime, and I dare not refute it. You just said that I wanted to harm your health, but I absolutely deny it. Please look into it." "The so-called witnesses and evidence are related to my son, but they are also related to the ninth son. Father, the ninth son is willing to risk his life just to alienate the relationship between us father and son!"

Yinzhen sneered, "Father, my Lord, my brother is cunning and good at making arguments. Don't trust him. I didn't expect that it was my brother who stabbed me in the back. I've sent so much silver to your house every year. It's better to throw it into the water and listen to the sound!"

"Facts speak louder than words. The banned drug powder seized from the Bage Mansion is definitely not fake. If the Emperor's illness was not caused by you, why did you store this at home?"

Yinsi opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute. Of course there were no banned drugs in his house. This thing had a strong smell and was stored in a special place.

When Kangxi saw that Yinsi had stopped talking, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Honghui, what do you think?"

"In reply to the Queen Mother's words, I think the more important thing now is whether there is an antidote for this medicine. The royal family of the previous dynasty had many secrets, and perhaps such a prescription is recorded in a book. If Eighth Uncle can make up for his mistakes, wouldn't everyone be happy?" Honghui thought for a while and said, "This is just my humble opinion, and the Queen Mother is just listening to it."

Kangxi kept repeating two words: "Antidote."

Yes, everything is interdependent and mutually exclusive. As long as there is poison, there is an antidote. Perhaps there is really a possibility of recovery.

This thought made Kangxi's eyes light up, and his tone softened a lot: "Old Eight, as long as you can come up with the antidote, I will forgive you."

Yinsi was speechless this time. If there was an antidote for this thing, would the previous dynasty have fallen so quickly? This thing corrupts people from the root.

Yinsi's face turned pale. He knew that if he could still save himself before, now that he really couldn't come up with the antidote, he was completely finished. The Emperor would cling to this life-saving straw, and he couldn't imagine what he would go through at that time.

Yinzhen glared at Honghui and said, "Father, my mother has been talking about Honghui. Why don't you let him go to pay his respects to the queen first, so that he won't say something nonsense that will make people laugh."

"Prince Yong is so arrogant. Go home after teaching your son a lesson." Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with a half-smile, but finally let Honghui go. "Go. Defei has been nagging you all the time. She said that you are not as caring as you were when you were a child. You haven't been seen for ten days or half a month."

"Grandson, take your leave." Honghui breathed a sigh of relief. After coming out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he was dazzled by the sunlight.

"Eighth Brother, I'll give you three days. If you can't come up with the antidote, you'll have to taste this powder yourself." Kangxi's eyes became fierce.

"Your Majesty, would you please allow me to confront Mrs. Huo and Manager Shen face to face?" Yinsi made a final effort for himself.

Kangxi remained silent. Liang Jiugong spoke up, "Eighth Prince, Huo Ying couldn't bear the humiliation in the Ministry of Punishment and committed suicide by hitting his head against a pillar. Manager Shen, who was castrated, has also passed away."

Prince Yu's eyelids twitched when he heard about the punishment of castration. After the emperor fell ill, even the punishment had changed.

Yinsi lowered his head and followed Prince Yu out of the palace in silence: "Uncle Wang, how is my mother...?"

"Deprive her of her title and demote her to a concubine. Concubine Liang has always been kind to others, and you won't worry about her situation." Prince Yu felt a little bit reluctant. He didn't expect that Honghui was so steady, accurate and ruthless, and he hit the target with almost one strike, directly killing the Eighth Prince.

No matter whether he was the one who drugged her or not, as long as there was no antidote, she would be living a life worse than death.

Yinsi gave a bitter smile and said nothing more.
