Chapter 715 Mother is very important
Chapter 715 Mother is very important
"Sainchahun, do you know what you're doing today?" After holding it in for a long time, Kangxi finally asked.
As if his tail had been stepped on, Saiyinchahun jumped up and said, "Father! I did this to help you solve your troubles. You can't kick me after I've served my purpose."
Sainchahun looked around. Hmm, the people from his mother's palace hadn't arrived yet. Then he looked at his father, his eyes blazing with anger. Luckily, he asked on the way to Zhongcui Palace; if he had asked in front of his mother... Sainchahun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Emperor Kangxi raised his hand, signaling the imperial carriage to stop, and threatened, "If you don't speak properly, I will rest in the Qianqing Palace tonight."
Sainchahun forced out a fake smile and said obediently, "Father, ask away. I will answer everything I know."
Kangxi glanced at his son, who was making a fool of himself, and said irritably, "Don't worry, I'm not like you. I won't take advantage of others and then act innocent."
"Yes, you're right. Only a son would be such a scoundrel."
Kangxi choked. He really didn't intend to frame Saiyinchahun, but he had a history of doing so, but those were all because he was angered by Saiyinchahun.
"Sainchahun, be serious. I'm asking you, do you really know what you've done today?"
"Does Ama think I might suddenly become stupid?"
"Why? It won't do you any good."
"...Father has been preoccupied with his own thoughts lately and has rarely set foot in the inner palace. Even when he goes to Zhongcui Palace, he usually only stays with Mother for a short while before leaving in a hurry. Therefore, you may not have noticed Mother's mood."
"What?" Kangxi was not expecting Saiyinchahun's answer. He had even prepared a speech and thought about how to explain it to Saiyinchahun, but... what does this have to do with Ji Nai?
"Father thinks that if the court remains indifferent, given Mother's personality, wouldn't she take the blame for the lives lost in the natural disasters?"
Kangxi and Chengrui, who had been listening quietly to the side, both changed their expressions.
Seeing this, Saiyinchahun shrugged and explained, "Perhaps it's not that bad, but Mother is soft-hearted. Feeling guilty and remorseful will definitely torment her."
Kangxi suppressed his worries about Ji Nai and scrutinized the young man before him. "Just for this?"
"What do you mean 'just for this'? Mother is very important! Or is it that in Father's heart, Mother is not important at all?" After being serious for a short while, Sainchahun started making a fuss again, looking at his father with a suspicious gaze, as if he really was a heartless man.
"Alright, shut up! I understand."
Saiyinchahun said quietly, "I will definitely tell Mother."
"Do you want your buttocks to be bruised today?" Kangxi was not worried at all. He glanced at Saiyinchahun and, as expected, saw that the other party looked angry but dared not speak out.
"Hahaha!" Kangxi's gloom of the past few days vanished instantly, and he signaled to set off. He couldn't wait to share the good news with Ji Nai.
Cheng Rui glanced at his father, then looked at Saiyinchahun and asked, "What kind of riddle are you and your father playing?"
"What riddle? Brother, you're overthinking it."
"Ha, am I a fool?"
"...I'll tell you when we get back. Your mother is waiting for you now."
Cheng Rui looked at Saiyinchahun meaningfully and reminded him, "Don't even think about lying to me. You know I can tell whether you're telling the truth or not."
Saiyincha froze.
Big brother.
Ji Nai was waiting in the courtyard early on, and even had a chair brought over.
Who knew that this wait would last for several hours? Ji Nai was so angry she laughed. She didn't believe that Saiyin Chahun didn't know that Zhongcui Palace had received the message, and therefore, knowing that she was waiting for him, he still avoided seeing her?
After causing such a huge mess, they still think they can get away with it just because someone is protecting them? Or perhaps, this was all planned by the father and his two sons?
Thinking of this, Ji Nai's smile became even more terrifying.
Granny Li and Xiao Anzi dared not offend their master. While calling for people to provide shade and fan him, they tried their best to calm their master's anger. At the same time, they silently mourned for the prince, saying: "This servant has done its best. May you have good fortune."
As soon as they entered the gate of Zhongcui Palace, they saw Ji Nai (their mother) staring at them with unfriendly eyes and an ugly face. The three of them shivered.
Kangxi suddenly realized that coming to Zhongcui Palace today was not a wise move. If he had known, he would have stayed in Qianqing Palace instead. So what if he couldn't sleep alone? He could bear it.
Seeing Ji Nai's increasingly dangerous gaze, and especially after the gates of Zhongcui Palace behind him were closed, Kangxi's inner alarm bells rang sharply.
Unless it is time to lock the palace gates, or there are special circumstances that require the palace gates to be sealed, the gates of the palaces are not normally closed during the day. Therefore, Ji Nai's move is clearly an attempt to "close the door and beat the dog".
Kangxi was still hesitating whether to unilaterally break the deal and let Saiyinchahun take all the blame, and then make amends later. Then he was betrayed by the even more ruthless Saiyinchahun.
"Mother, I'm innocent! It was Father who made me do it. Otherwise, how could I, with my temperament, make such a scene in front of outsiders? That's foolish and arrogant; it's not my style at all!"
Saiyinchahun, looking as if he had been greatly wronged, complained, "My father himself didn't want to break ties with anyone, so he suggested that I do it. It's really... too bad!"
Kangxi looked at Saiyinchahun, who was skilled in singing, reciting, acting and fighting, in disbelief. He felt that at this moment, all his fatherly love for Saiyinchahun had been wasted, and his hesitation just now was a joke.
"Sainchahun!"
Sainchahun's small body trembled, and he suddenly realized that what he had done was unwise. Now, instead of just his mother being angry, he had offended both his father and mother.
But things have come to this point. As long as Mother is dealt with, Father is just a paper tiger. Besides, he really solved a huge problem for Father, so shouldn't he take the blame for him this once?
Chengrui looked at this and then at that, momentarily at a loss. Judging from his father and mother's reactions, Saiyinchahun was definitely in trouble, but he did not approve of Saiyinchahun's nonsense and shirking of responsibility, so he did not immediately protect his younger brother.
And then... and then there was no more. Because of that moment of hesitation, Cheng Rui never had the chance to go up and protect Saiyinchahun. He could only watch helplessly as his mother held him down and beat him.
"Big brother, save me! Ah!"
Cheng Rui's strength was far inferior to his father's, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't break free. He could only anxiously cry out, "Mother! Mother, please have mercy! Saiyinchahun knows he was wrong!"
Seeing that his mother ignored him, Chengrui called on Rongxian and the other two, who were watching the commotion, to plead for him. The three reacted differently.
