Chapter 192 Old Ten's Discovery

Honghui witnessed with his own eyes one of Kangxi's symptoms of illness. He was quickly stopped at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Liang Jiugong. He just glanced at him from a distance and listened to the sounds that did not sound like those made by a human. He felt very complicated.

Huang Mafa has always been partial to me, there may be other factors involved, but the love between the grandparents and grandchildren over the years is not fake.

Now seeing that Huang Mafa is living like a ghost, he can't help but question the plan of his father and uncle. Is it necessary to do this to overthrow his eighth uncle?

Just when Honghui was full of doubts and confusion, Yinzhen and Yin'er were also confronting each other in Prince Yong's mansion.

"I gave you the eldest sister of the Huo family, but I didn't expect you to send her to the emperor. Old Nine, you..." Yinzhen's expression was very complicated. It would be false to say how much he admired Kangxi. After all, the emperor had never really cared about anyone except the crown prince. Even if there was a little sincerity, it was compared to the crown prince and nothing was left.

"Fourth brother wants to say that I am cruel and ruthless, and that I am disloyal and unfilial." Yinzhen took over the conversation and said self-deprecatingly, "So what? I am just that kind of person!"

"I have seen through it all these years. Does the Emperor really love the Crown Prince? No, the only thing he truly wants is his throne. He will chop off the fingers of anyone who dares to lay a hand on him, and the Crown Prince is no exception."

"It was the Emperor who gave the brothers delusions, making them think that anyone could pull down the Crown Prince." Yin'er's eyes were blazing with fire, and he became more and more angry as he spoke. "Eighth brother is cunning and it's his fault that he didn't act in an upright manner. Wasn't it the Emperor who gave Eighth brother the confidence?"

"Since the Emperor wants to see us kill each other, why not solve the problem from the root!" Yinzhen poured out all his grievances.

Yinzhen sighed, "It's too risky. The emperor doesn't have the energy to continue investigating. When he recovers, he may suspect you."

Yinzhen smiled indifferently: "Fourth brother, my future does not depend on the emperor but on you. As long as we can completely bring down the Eighth Brother this time, I don't mind being punished later. I can just stay in the mansion and raise my son."

Yinzhen understood that Yinlu was prepared for a one-for-one exchange.

"Come to think of it, it was my nephew Honghui who played well in assists." Seeing that Yinzhen was not so angry anymore, Yinlang tried to ease the atmosphere.

"That bastard, he just promised me that he would be steady, but he forgot everything the moment he turned around!" Yinzhen said the words of blame, but he smiled, "But those two words of his have completely nailed the Eighth Elder to the ground, and all the people involved are dead. You should keep a low profile during this period, and don't let the Emperor find fault with you."

"Yes, I understand." Yinzhen was silent for a moment, "Fourth brother, if I really..., please ask Fourth Sister-in-law to take care of that stupid girl in my family. She is a simple-minded person and will not change her ways."

"Go, go, go quickly. Your fourth sister-in-law is in poor health. You need to take care of yourself." Yinzhen didn't want to hear this and drove her away directly.

Yinzhen didn't know yet that the stick he was talking about was worried at this moment.

An uninvited guest came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion today. It was the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo, who had been running into trouble everywhere during this period.

Guo Luoluo came with Hongwang. Before, the Ninth Lady had always refused to let them in, but now that she heard that they had a child, she finally relented and let them in.

Hongwang was obviously taught by someone in advance. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Aunt, Hongwang asks you to save my father. Hongwang is grateful and will repay your kindness for the rest of his life."

He spoke this fluently, I wonder how long he had memorized it in advance.

The Ninth Lady picked up the child and handed him to the nanny, asking her to take him out to play.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Sister-in-law, don't you and Old Nine feel guilty?" Guo Luoluo spoke first, "The better the relationship, the more ruthless they are, right?" "I think Eighth Sister-in-law is worried about Prince Beile and has started talking nonsense." The Ninth Lady lowered her eyes, blaming herself for being so soft-hearted.

"Do you dare to swear that it wasn't Old Nine who did what happened to our master? Just swear on...your child." Guo Luoluo stared at the slightly bulging belly of the Ninth Concubine and had evil thoughts.

"It's inexplicable! You will suffer for your own mistakes. In the past few years, the Tenth Master, our master, and even the masters of Prince Yong's mansion have all suffered from insidious losses! Only those who scheme against others all day will feel that they have been schemed against by others." The Ninth Lady did not want to argue with Guo Luoluo any more. "Hongwang is a good child. You snatched him from someone else by trickery, so you must educate him well. Today, for Hongwang's sake, I respectfully call you the Eighth Sister-in-law. Please go back. You are not welcome in the Ninth Prince's mansion."

Seeing that everyone around the Ninth Lady was looking at her with a covetous look, Guo Luoluo suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this child was born after the Ninth Prince fell ill."

"You think that such a strong plaster will pass on through the bones and blood? Can you really give birth to this child?"

After saying this, the Eighth Lady left with a big laugh, leaving the Ninth Lady with a pale face.

As usual, the Tenth Brother came to the Ministry of War to work. After the Prince of Zhi fell, the Ministry of War became more attentive to the Tenth Brother, which really made the Tenth Brother secretly happy for a long time.

"Hey, is there another change in the deployment?" Old Ten was looking at today's report, and his original nonchalance turned serious.

How many times has this changed recently?

According to the original rules, the Imperial City Army changed its deployment every seven days, and they took turns to guard the city in a very regular manner. Recently, the original rotation rules were almost completely disrupted. Not only did they change positions every one or two days, but even the generals guarding the city had changed several times.

The document for the change of guard was stamped with the imperial seal. Although he had doubts, Lao Shi still had it done.

He silently recited the names of several unfamiliar generals in his mind, and finally wrote them down on a small piece of paper, stuffed it in his arms and took it away.

Prince Yong's mansion sent away the ninth prince and welcomed the tenth prince.

Yinzhen originally wanted to go back to the backyard to check on Yihuan but was stopped again. He sighed and thought that having too many younger brothers also has its disadvantages.

The tenth elder walked in with his uncaring steps, slapped the note in front of Yinzhen, and took a sip first: "Fourth brother, these people look very unfamiliar to me. They have been recently assigned to guard the palace. Send someone to check."

Yinzhen had no doubt about the authenticity of this information. After all, his younger brother only looked rough, but in fact he was very wise.

Seeing Yinzhen nod his head in agreement, Lao Shi felt relieved that his mission was accomplished. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Fourth brother, is the emperor's health not going to improve?"

If he were twenty years younger, Kangxi might have been able to hold on with his willpower. But now he is just fighting poison with poison and accelerating his death.

Yinzhen shook his head, and the Tenth Prince understood.

"Fourth brother, we won't change, right?" Old Ten suddenly asked.

Yinzhen looked at him and said, "Everyone is changing. As long as we all change for the better, it's the same as not changing at all."

The tenth brother nodded, not quite understanding, and took out a box of high-quality ginseng from his arms and put it down: "This is for the fourth sister-in-law to replenish her body. My brother has something else to do, so I'll leave first."
