Chapter 150 Talking about the truth
Hearing the Crown Princess say this, Yinzhen finally felt a little relieved. He then walked to Yinreng's bedside and saw that the Crown Prince was fine except for his pale face. He was sleeping soundly. He moved a little further away. He still needed to listen to Buerhe's account of what happened today. It was better not to get too close, as it would disturb his second brother's rest.
Buerhe watched Yinzhen's actions with a smile in his eyes, happy that Yinreng had such a caring and good brother. Buerhe invited Yinzhen to sit at the other side of the table before explaining, "After hearing the news that the prince was injured today, I hurried to the South Third Prison, but martial law was already in place there. I heard that many people were directly detained in the First Prison by the Emperor, and they will not be released until all the examinations are completed."
After saying this, Buerhe glanced at Yinzhen, who nodded in affirmation, "Yes, if the Emperor hadn't sent someone to call me halfway, my brother would be waiting for news in the headquarter just like those ministers. My second sister-in-law, Hongye, and Jingyi have been sent to the Prince's Mansion, and the wife is watching over them. They'll be fine. I'll go back and take a look after I understand the situation."
I can assure you that, although the treatment may not be as good as in Yuqing Palace, safety is definitely guaranteed. The Emperor has also explained this in advance."
Seeing Yinzhen seriously explaining the whereabouts of the twins, Buerhe became even more attentive to Yinzhen. She interrupted Yinzhen's assurance in time: "Okay, fourth brother, since I agree with the emperor's opinion and send Hongye and Jingyi to your house, it means that I trust you and your wife.
I don't need to hear any extra assurances. I've watched you two, and after spending so much time together, I believe I didn't trust the wrong person. But Fourth Brother and his wife will have to work hard. I can't get away from Yuqing Palace for the time being, and I still have Second Prince to take care of. I really don't have the energy to worry about Hongye and his sister right now."
Yinzhen didn't say anything about the Crown Princess's trust, but his eyes were full of smiles. His efforts were seen by others, and they entrusted all their trust. There were no relatives like him in the royal family. He was lucky enough to have such a brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing that Yinzhen did not object, Buerhe continued, "From the Crown Prince's account, it seems that someone deliberately poured tea on his clothes, and then when he was changing in the wing room, someone else put drugs in the tea. You also know that because of the matter of the ninth brother, you brothers all carried the antidote with you when you traveled. When the Crown Prince realized something was wrong, he quickly took the antidote.
However, the effect of the medicine still needed some time to ferment. Then, when the prince was lying on the table, he heard the other three people plotting to discredit the prince in the name of cholera in the harem, and then take advantage of the emperor's anger and draw their swords to stab him when he got close to the prince.
The Crown Prince deduced that the group was likely the White Lotus Sect that the Emperor had been searching for, and that the woman was the Saint of the White Lotus Sect, a new beauty selected in this year's imperial selection. He had originally intended to assassinate her while she was in the Emperor's bedchamber, but the Emperor hadn't summoned her this year, so the plan had been delayed until today.
The only thing left was that the prince was able to move. When the woman wanted to change his clothes, he directly resisted. It was said that the saint was very skilled in martial arts and could fight on par with two first-class guards. Later, the guards fought to the death to capture the saint.
But who knew that two of her accomplices would suddenly appear outside, and the prince was unable to warn them in time, so he had no choice but to block the knife with his own body."
Yinzhen hadn't expected the Crown Prince to find himself in such a dangerous situation in such a short time. He still remembered the incident: "Yes, my second brother and I were also wondering why that servant could so carelessly spill tea on my second brother in such an occasion. Now I think he was trying to lure my second brother to that wing room. My second brother originally wanted to go back to Yuqing Palace to change clothes before going there, but my eighth brother said that if my second brother suddenly left, others would misunderstand the relationship between brothers. In order to maintain the royal family's brotherly love, my second brother had to go to the back to find a wing room and let He Zhu come back to get a change of clothes. Now that I think about it, it was too coincidental, wasn't it?"
Buerhe hadn't expected that there was something about the Eighth Prince involved, but without evidence, their speculation was pointless. So Buerhe warned Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, Second Sister-in-law knows what you said, but at the time, only you and the Crown Prince knew about it. I think only you and the Crown Prince heard what Eighth Brother said. Now your suspicions are a bit far-fetched. No one will believe your words of concern even if you say them out loud without any evidence."
Yinzhen also knew about this, so he only mentioned it once and never spoke of it again. Regarding this matter, the Emperor had already ordered the Imperial Guard to take over the entire defense of the Forbidden City, and the truth had already begun to be investigated. With the Emperor's methods, the truth would soon come to light.
Yinzhen quickly left the palace and returned to the Prince's Mansion. He had already promised the Crown Princess that he would take good care of the twins, and since he had made a promise, he would definitely keep it.
At the Qianqing Palace, it was already dinner time, and Kangxi waved the newly ascended Dai Ling to leave. Dai Ling was still very afraid of Kangxi, and since it was his first day replacing Liang Jiugong, he hadn't yet fully grasped the emperor's habits. So, upon hearing the emperor's request to leave, he quickly left without a word, closing the door behind him.
Kangxi frowned when he saw this. This Dai Ling was not as comfortable to use as Liang Jiugong. However, when he thought about how Liang Jiugong had blocked a knife for him and was now in an uncertain situation of life and death, he felt a little emotional. Forget it, I will get used to it after using it for a while. Now the situation is to call Wei Zhu back. He is also worried about Liang Jiugong's life and death, so let's wait until the situation gets better.
The most important thing now is to know whether the big fish you have caught for such a long time have taken the bait and whether you can catch them all in one net.
Yes, Kangxi had known about the White Lotus Sect's actions this time for a long time, and had given them the green light all the way. However, he did not expect that there was actually a White Lotus Saint hidden among them, especially that she entered the palace as a selected concubine.
He had always focused his attention on the woman in Lao Wu's backyard, and he never expected that he would be pecked in the eye by a goose today after hunting geese all day.
Kangxi waved his hand, and An Yi, who had been hiding in the shadows, quickly appeared. Kangxi said, "Let's go and meet this so-called Saint of the White Lotus Sect."
The guard led Kangxi through twists and turns until they reached a solid wall. He tapped on it a few times, and it quickly moved away, revealing a door. An Yi lit a torch to illuminate the path, and Kangxi followed closely behind. The two slowly vanished into the shadows.
