Chapter 849: Startling Heart Mingyu 61

His hands were tightly grasping the burnt ashes, his fingertips were unaware of the burning, his eyes were red, but he gritted his teeth to hold back the tears. He had never felt so powerless before, and this soul-tearing pain made him feel helpless.

Yinzhen stood aside, his clenched fists loosening and tightening, and finally he just sighed and chose not to say anything.

"Let's go, Thirteenth Brother." Yinzhen persuaded in a low voice and wanted to step forward to support his brother's arm, but was pushed away by Yinxiang.

"No! Fourth brother, she is only a teenager, she shouldn't be like this..." Yinxiang's voice was hoarse, with pleading and despair in his tone. He suddenly raised his head and glared at Li Dequan.

"Eunuch Li, tell me, what is the unspeakable difficulty of the Emperor? What crime did Ruoxi commit? Why did she commit such a crime for a mere palace maid?"

Li Dequan lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, but a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He had always been the most difficult person to figure out in the palace, and he had developed a lot of tact and sensitivity, but at this moment, facing Yinxiang's questioning, he could only sigh deeply.

"Thirteenth Prince, I am only following orders. Please ask the emperor in person about the reason behind this."

……

At the same time, in another time and space, a dazzling white light rushed into view. In the intensive care unit of the hospital, the faint "beeping" sound of the instrument echoed, and a young girl suddenly opened her eyes.

Her pupils were full of confusion, her breathing was rapid, and one hand subconsciously lifted the quilt on her body, and the monitoring patch connected to her scalp rolled onto the sheets.

"Where is this?" Her voice was hoarse and low, and her mind was obviously still confused.

The doctor who had just walked in was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "The patient is awake! Notify the family!"

The nurse rushed out after hearing this, a little excited. But the girl didn't care about that, and bloody scenes quickly surged in her mind - raging fire, crying, and the roar of the Thirteenth Prince...

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He threw the teacup heavily to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound, which frightened the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace into silence, not daring to breathe.

"A bunch of rebellious sons! How dare you openly defy my order!" Kangxi roared, his chest heaving violently.

Li Dequan bent over and carefully swept the debris on the ground, not daring to raise his head. "Your Majesty, please calm down. The princes are also in a hurry..."

"Are you in a hurry? For a little palace maid, you dare to make a scene at the execution ground. Where is the reputation of the royal family!" Kangxi's anger did not diminish at all. He paced back and forth, his fingers clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white.

"Call them here! I want to see what they want to do!"

Soon, Yinzhen and Yinxiang were brought to the Qianqing Palace. They were both dressed in plain clothes, with a look of fatigue and anxiety on their faces. Yinxiang's eyes were still stained with tears and deep despair.

"Your son pays homage to the Emperor, Father." The two men knelt on the ground and said in unison.

Kangxi looked down at them with a stern look in his eyes. "Fourth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, do you admit your guilt?"

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "I know my crime."

Yinxiang stiffened his neck, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Father, Ruoxi's crime does not deserve death! I beg you to look into this matter!"

Kangxi shouted angrily: "How dare you! Do you think you can question my order?"

Yinxiang bit his lip, stubbornly refusing to bow his head. He thought of Ruoxi's tragic death, and his heart was filled with grief and resentment.

Seeing this, Yinzhen quickly pulled Yinxiang's sleeve, signaling him not to provoke Kangxi again. He knew Kangxi's temper very well, and if he contradicted him again at this moment, it would only make things worse.

"Your Majesty, my thirteenth brother was also anxious for the moment. Please calm down." Yinzhen said.

Kangxi's roar echoed in the Qianqing Palace, shaking the dust off the beams. He swung his sleeves and pointed at Yinxiang's nose and cursed: "Rebellious son! How dare you contradict me for a lowly palace maid! Do you still have me, your father, in your eyes!"

Yinxiang knelt stubbornly, refusing to back down. His eyes were red, but he tried hard not to let the tears fall. "Father, Ruoxi is not a lowly maid! She is my friend. She has done nothing wrong. Why should she be tortured like this?"

"Friend?" Kangxi seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed out of anger.

"You are just a bondservant, you have really lost your mind!"

Mingyu walked lightly into the Qianqing Palace and happened to see Kangxi's furious look, which made her heart tremble.

She had never seen the emperor so angry. Even her usually calm Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Master knelt on the ground, trembling.

Mingyu glanced at Yinzhen and Yinxiang who were kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Kangxi's gloomy face. She felt uneasy and was about to bow, but Kangxi had already strode up to her and held her.

This sudden action made Mingyu a little at a loss. She looked up at Kangxi, but saw that the anger in his eyes seemed to dissipate a lot the moment he saw her, and was replaced by a trace of imperceptible tenderness.

"Mingyu, why are you here?" Kangxi's voice was low and gentle, completely different from the thunderous rage just now.

Mingyu bowed slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I heard about the commotion in the palace, so I came to visit."

She carefully glanced at Yinzhen and Yinxiang who were kneeling on the ground, and added: "I wonder what mistake did Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Master make to make the emperor so angry?"

Kangxi's eyes dodged, and Yu'er's gentle face appeared in his mind. How would Yu'er feel if she knew that he had ordered Maertai Ruoxi to be burned to death?

Would you think he was cruel and cruel, like a demon from hell? Would you be afraid of him and distance yourself from him?

Kangxi held Mingyu's hand slightly tighter, his eyes flickering as he avoided Mingyu's inquiring gaze.

"I... was just teaching them a lesson for not knowing the rules. Mingyu, don't worry, they are all trivial matters." He coughed dryly, trying to hide his inner uneasiness.

Yinzhen and Yinxiang were still kneeling on the ground, with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.

Mingyu frowned slightly. Although she was not familiar with worldly affairs, she was not completely unaware of the dangers in the palace. Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Master were always steady, so why would they make a scene in the palace for no reason?

And looking at the Thirteenth Master's red eyes, it was obvious that he had been crying.

"What's wrong?" Mingyu's voice was soft, but with a hint of subtle doubt. Her bright eyes moved back and forth between Kangxi and the two princes.

Kangxi's eyes flickered, and his grip on Mingyu's hand tightened unconsciously: "Nothing, just some trivial matters, not worth mentioning." He evaded the issue but did not dare to look Mingyu in the eye.

Upon hearing this, Yinxiang suddenly raised his head, stared at Kangxi with his red eyes, his throat choked and he almost shouted out.
