The Ninth Prince was so angry that he could not listen to Cao Yong's words. As a prince, he has always been arrogant, but these days he has been resentful and has nowhere to vent.

Before Cao Yong could finish speaking, he had already punched Cao Yong in the face with his other hand.

Although Cao Yong had avoided dodging, his fists swept his nose. He only felt his nose sore, tears came out, and his eyes were blurred.

The Ninth Prince roared like a mad cow, clenched his fists, and rushed towards Cao Yong.

Cao Yong was really upset. He had different identities and could not fight back. If he avoided him, he would reveal the fourth prince behind him. Could it be that he would have to be born a few times?

Fortunately, the Tenth Prince had already woken up, stretched out his arm, hugged the Ninth Prince, and opened his big eyes and said, "Brother Ninth, you can't beat him!"

The fourth prince said that he was his brother and Cao Yong was a senior official of the court. Even if he beat anyone, he was a mistake, let alone the two of them were now the imperial envoys.

If you beat them, you will feel resentful to the emperor's father.

The Fourth Prince had already stood up, looked at the Eighth Concubine, and said to the Ninth Prince indifferently: "You are not young anymore, you are aware of what you think or what you don't think of. I will not care about these two punches, so you will do it yourself in the future." After that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Cao Yong felt it was boring, but he couldn't turn around and leave. The matter of moving the coffin had to be sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange carriages, horses, sedan chairs, and the details had to be discussed.

Looking at the current atmosphere, it was not the time to speak. Cao Yong had to bow to the Tenth Prince and said, "Tenth Master, it's late at night. Please go back to the humble house first, and come here tomorrow morning to listen to the matter."

The Ninth Prince was panting and was staring at the fourth prince's back fiercely, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although the Tenth Prince looked irritable, his actions of stopping others made Cao Yong more confident that he was the one among the princes who "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger".

The fourth prince could leave, but Cao Yong was not that cheap. The moment he turned around, he heard the tenth prince shout loudly: "Stop, I have something to ask you."

What are you really afraid of? What can you ask? Is it the Imperial Imperial Imperial to Move the Spirit?

Sure enough, the tenth prince said, "You also came back from Tangquan. I asked you, what was going on with that imperial edict? But Prince Yong invited it?"

After hearing this, the Eighth Concubine and the Ninth Prince looked at Cao Yong with their eyes straight.

"When I say to Jiu Ye, I will follow you at the university. After the Shangshu welcomed you, he withdrew from the imperial front and spoke at the Sixteenth Master. I don't know the details." Cao Yong bowed and said the truth.

It's strange to say that sometimes the truth sounds like lies, but the lies sound like true. Cao Yong did not lie, but neither the Ninth Prince nor the Tenth Prince believed it. Then the Ninth Prince sneered and said, "Tenth Brother is confused. Can this kid Cao Yong tell the bad things about the fourth brother?"

Cao Yong is here, so he can't leave or stay. Not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

When the Tenth Prince saw the purple on his nose, he looked at the Ninth Prince again, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but his face was still deep. After a while, he said to Cao Yong: "The scene just now was just unintentional. Please understand it clearly, don't show it casually, otherwise I won't spare you!" At the end of his words, he was already a little vicious.

Cao Yong was speechless in his heart, and there was no such thing as asking for the Dharma even if he asked for others.

He responded on his face, and then Cao Yong left the Eighth Prince's Garden and rode his horse to his garden. At this time, the city gate was closed and he could only rest outside the city for a night.

He rubbed his nose, and he had avoided it, and it was still painful. The Fourth Prince's face was full of blossoms, and he didn't know what it was like.

However, it also gives me a chance to escape. I will be able to take two days off tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching to appear in front of others like this.

I only rode a horse and left the Eighth Prince's Garden for a hundred meters, and saw a silhouette of fire in front of me.

Xiaoman had the sharpest eyes, and had already recognized the carriage in front of him, and whispered: "Uncle, it's the carriage of the Fourth Prince."

Could it be that this is not over?

Just as he was about to come, Cao Yong tied the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse's back, and was about to come forward to greet him.

Before he could bow down, he heard the Fourth Prince say in the carriage: "Get on the car."

When Cao Yong approached, a little eunuch picked up the lamp and shined the wooden bench. Cao Yong picked up the curtain and entered the carriage.

A glass lamp was lit in the carriage, and the fourth prince sat upright in the seat.

The fourth prince looked so embarrassed, with his face swollen and his mouth broken. Cao Yong took a look, then quickly lowered his head and whispered: "Fourth Master."

Although he is a prince, his fight between brothers is like the common people. He is extremely angry and he will kill him. Who would take care of his kindness?

However, the Fourth Prince is always steady and steady, and at this time he has a gloomy face. With these injuries on his face, he only feels a bit funny.

"What did the Ninth Prince say?" The Fourth Prince's eyes swept across Cao Yong's nose and asked in a deep voice.

"The Ninth Master said nothing, only the Tenth Master asked." Cao Yong reported to what the Tenth Prince had heard and answered him truthfully.

It took only a few words from the fourth prince coming out to Cao Yong's coming out. There was no need to lie about this when Cao Yong came out. After hearing this, the fourth prince refused to comment.

Although the carriage is spacious, it is uncomfortable for two big men to stay like this.

Cao Yong stood up again, and he couldn't stand up straight, so he felt so uncomfortable.

After a while, I heard the Fourth Prince say, "It's late at night, you can go back first."

Cao Yong came out of the carriage and waited until the carriage was far away before he turned over.

This day was more tiring than half a year. Whether it was Kangxi's decision or the fourth prince's choice, Cao Yong was a little confused. It seems that the emperor's thinking is indeed not the same as ordinary people, which is understandable, but it is still difficult to accept it in his heart.

When he returned to the garden and lay on the bed, Cao Yong still tossed and turned, and he didn't fall asleep until Dongfang was whiter...

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

After washing up, Cao Yong had not had time to eat when he heard someone coming to report that Dong Dianbang, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asked for a meeting and was waiting in the front hall.

Cao Yong looked in the mirror and saw that there was still a piece of purple near his nose. How could he see someone?

"Just say I felt cold at night and was sick. I asked for a few days off in the yamen." Cao Yong put down the mirror and ordered.

It was almost the end of the month, and according to the rules, every October 1st, the emperor would promulgate the next year's calendar outside the Meridian Gate. Before that, the Holy Lord would return to Changchun Garden first.

Calculate the days and it is not long for the Eighth Prince’s Mansion to move the coffin.

The Eighth Prince’s Garden, in front of the mourning hall.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince both did not close their eyes all night. The Ninth Prince has been sad these days, and staying up late, his eyes are red. The Tenth Prince is better, and it is hard to hide his fatigue.

"Brother Ninth, the imperial edict has been issued, what else can I do? Can I resist the imperial edict?" The tenth prince looked at the mourning hall, looked at the busy officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside, and said.

The ninth prince's face was pale and horrifying. He clenched his fists hard and said, "Yes, that's an imperial edict. If you violate it, you will be beheaded. This prince just died, does the emperor care about another death?"

"Brother Ninth, be careful of your words." Prince Ten looked around and whispered.

The Ninth Prince sneered, looked into the distance, and there was an indescribable chill around him...

Like Cao Yong, the Fourth Prince is also the one who is not ill.

No matter how angry the Ninth Prince was or how resentful the Eighth Prince was, the Eighth Prince's coffin was moved back to the city the next day.

The next day, the Holy Lord returned to Changchun Garden from Tangquan Palace, and held a small court in Changchun Garden today.

All the princes and princes who worked in the office, as well as officials above the third rank, gathered for Changchun Garden to meet. The absence of the fourth prince and Cao Yong was not eye-catching, but some people could not stand the speculation.

When the Fourth Prince and Cao Yong went to Babeile Garden to issue an order, there were many people on the other end of the garden. Although the tenth Prince ordered the ban on the latter part, the Eighth Prince's mansion was not so strict.

Everything you should know, but no one can talk about it.

The ninth prince has a low title, but his baby girl is Gushan, but his biological mother, Concubine Yi, is a real power figure in the harem, and his brother, the fifth prince, is Prince Heshuo. Once he offended, he would offend a nest.

With the Ninth Prince's temperament, he will not let go if he bites a piece of meat. He is like a mad dog, and who is willing to provoke him without any trouble.

Cao Yong took a carriage the next day and returned to the city and stayed in a closed door. He should ask for a doctor and ask for medicine, but no one came to him for trouble.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of October, the day of the grand ceremony.

The swelling on Cao Yong's face had disappeared, so he went to the yamen to go to court.

It was still late at night when I went to Jinshui Bridge to wait. On both sides of the palace gate were the emperor's full emperor's carriage.

It seems like it is like the previous years, and it is no different. However, behind the Seventh Prince, there is no longer the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince. The Eighth Prince has passed away, and the Ninth Prince has not been ill. There is no smile on the other princes and princes.

Cao Yong stood in the queue, listening to Kangxi's annual calendar, listening to the memorials of the six ministries and nine ministers, he didn't know what he was thinking.

The sixteenth prince stood behind the fifteenth prince, looked at Cao Yong, and added a little concern to his face.

It was not until noon that the tedious court meeting ended.

The sixteenth prince was thinking that he was looking for Cao Yong now, and he had to go to the yamen to find him. He asked him about the "infection with wind and cold" a few days ago, and saw Cao Yong walking towards him.

"Sixteenth Master, are you free now?" Cao Yong asked.

The sixteenth prince nodded and said, "I'm just looking for you."

The two of them did not leave the palace, and walked towards the Interior Government Office. It was not until they entered the room that the sixteenth prince held Cao Yong's shoulder, looked up and down a few times, and said, "I heard that you were beaten by Brother Ninth, but where did you hurt?"

Cao Yong shook his head and said, "It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem, it's already cured."

The sixteenth prince put down his arm and frowned and said, "How much is it to be beaten by the court minister? Brother Ninth is so too much." At this point, he stretched out his hand, put a thumbs up, and hesitated a little, "Here I've been beaten."

"Yes." Cao Yong nodded and agreed.

The sixteenth prince sighed and said, "It's all brothers, why are they? Brother Ninth brother just looks smart, but he is a confused person. At this moment, he can endure what he can do, but it's a disaster."

This problem is really heavy, Cao Yong didn't want to explain it in detail. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and sent it to the Sixteenth Prince, saying, "This is the prescription I made to go to Tongrentang for a special trip, which is only used to treat dry tobacco addiction. Master Sixteenth Prince first tried it. There are more opium in the capital, but few people quit, so no one can buy that medicine. Tomorrow, I will go to Tongrentang for a special trip. They are experts and should understand the harm of opium. If they can develop a prescription for detoxification, it will be a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

Because there are so many things happening in the past few days, the Sixteenth Prince has not had time to think about this.

Seeing that Cao Yong took this to heart, he got the prescription in the past few days. The Sixteenth Prince was also quite moved. He took the prescription and said with a smile: "If you are troublesome, then you will appreciate it. No matter what the use is, drink it first. It is much better than being locked up and forcing yourself to quit your addiction."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something a few days ago." The Sixteenth Prince stuffed the prescription into his sleeve and looked up and said, "The Empress Dowager seems to be paying special attention to your family affairs. She asked me two times before, asking about family matters. For example, how many lands are there in your family, how many servants are there, and how many concubines are there in your uncle. Even your lost little brother before... I just knew about it, so I said vaguely."

Cao Yong was confused when he heard these words, and said, "Where is this with?"

"If I know, I'll just tell you directly. It doesn't seem like a bad thing. Go back and ask your uncle, maybe he knows it." said the Sixteenth Prince.

Cao Yong hadn't arrived at the yamen for a few days, and there were many official duties here, with documents piled up to a foot high. The Sixteenth Prince saw Cao Yong busy, so he didn't stay for long and got up and went back to the prince's house.

It was already dusk when Cao Yong finished his official cooking.
