Chapter 128 5 Years of Madness 1
During these five years, Lao Ba had a hard time. He was like a mad dog, biting whoever he caught. No one in the court dared to provoke him, because anyone who was offended by Lao Ba would pay a price. At the beginning, the court officials were quite angry, thinking that Lao Ba, a young boy, dared to put pressure on them. After all, Lao Ba did not have much power behind him.
At first they didn't believe it and teamed up to suppress Lao Ba, but they didn't expect that Lao Ba would be like a dog and reveal all the secrets of them, no matter if their clan members had committed murder, oppressed innocent people, or they themselves were corrupt, as long as there was evidence, Lao Ba would dig it out!
It was not until the Crown Prince and the eldest brother had both lost a lot of people that Soetu and Mingzhu hurriedly called for a halt. If they did not call for a halt, the entire court would be impeached by the Eighth Brother. Although they were quite happy at the beginning, after all, they were the ones who benefited, but they did not expect that things would develop to the point where they were out of control!
Since returning to the capital, the Eighth Prince not only broke up with the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince, but even his relationship with Kangxi as a father-son fell into ruin. Kangxi was so angry at the Eighth Prince that he even fainted several times because his people were also impeached by the Eighth Prince.
In fact, Kangxi knew more or less what those officials had done, but he was unwilling to delve into it because he knew that there would be no fish in clear water. Few officials were honest and all of them would accept bribes to some extent. Sometimes, you cannot accept something just because you don’t want to. These were all things that happened in secret and Kangxi acquiesced to them.
But Kangxi never expected that his son would be so crazy that he dragged the entire court into trouble just for a Han girl. Now that the matter was exposed, he had to deal with it even if he didn't want to. But after dealing with it, he was upset? Kangxi did explain the situation, but the Eighth Son acted as if he didn't hear anything. He still did his own thing and made the entire court in dire straits!
Not to mention that Kangxi talked to the Eighth Prince, even the eldest prince, the crown prince and the others were not left out, and even the fourth prince was no exception. However, without exception, the Eighth Prince drove everyone out and even became the first prince to move out of the palace before getting married!
The Eighth Princess moved out of the palace. That was everyone's wish. Even Emperor Kangxi wanted her to move far away. Who knows what was wrong with the Eighth Princess? She set her sights on the harem again. Who in the harem had clean hands? It was probably only the Queen Mother. I guess only her hands were clean!
At first, the Eighth Prince was unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the harem. It was because Concubine Hui was angry and humiliated because of the Eighth Prince's affairs in the previous dynasty and heard her son's complaints, so she started to make things difficult for Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang didn't want to trouble her son. She knew that her son was unhappy during this period, but he didn't tell her, which didn't mean that the Eighth Prince didn't know!
The Eighth Brother had already gone half crazy because of Yunyan's matter. Later, when he heard that his mother was bullied, it was like dynamite exploding in the harem, revealing to everyone everything that Concubine Hui had done since she entered the palace. Not only Concubine Hui's deeds, but all the concubines in Concubine Hui's faction, no one could escape!
At this point in the palace, everyone lived in fear, afraid that they would be the next to die. So every time they saw Liang Fei, Lao Ba, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, they would be extremely respectful. People who didn't know would think that the master of the palace was Lao Ba!
Apart from being still close to the Ninth and Tenth Brothers, the Eighth Brother was also close to his mother, Concubine Liang. Only these three people could get a smile from him. The others all had cold expressions. When he looked at others with those cold eyes, it was as if he was looking at a dead person. People who looked at them were terrified and felt that they should not live in this world and should die!
The iron-blooded methods displayed by Lao Ba shocked Kangxi and his men. However, no matter how many people they sent, no matter how they investigated, they could not find out how Lao Ba had such great ability. Being able to find out the details of everyone also made Kangxi panic. Kangxi was originally a suspicious person. He did not like Lao Ba very much, and therefore Kangxi did not have much good face towards Lao Ba in the future!
But even so, the Eighth Brother did not restrain himself. He had long since given up expecting the so-called father-son relationship. All he wanted now was to protect himself and the people he wanted to protect. He just wanted to live a happy life. He did not want to be like in his previous life, where he could not protect the people he wanted to protect. He failed to protect his mother, and he failed to protect the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother!
The Eighth Brother did not let Prince An's Mansion go either. Considering what he owed Minghui in his previous life, he did not expose what Minghui did to Yunyan in public, but he did not let them go in private. He just found a reason, well, it's not really a reason, it's just that during a grand court meeting, he told everyone what Prince An's Mansion had done over the years, and because of this, he downgraded Prince An's Mansion to Prince An's Mansion!
Minghui Gege also came to question what Lao Ba meant. Although the people she sent did not come back, she did not care at all. Anyway, Minghui Gege felt that as long as the bitch died, she did not care about the process and the price. She only knew that the result was what she wanted. She did not want to know the rest. So she did not know that Lao Ba and the others knew everything she had done. She still confidently thought that she would marry Lao Ba and become Lao Ba's wife, because this was already a default thing!
But it was precisely because of Princess Minghui's self-questioning that her fantasy completely became a fantasy. Originally, Lao Ba didn't want to be too heartless, but Princess Minghui was too spoiled and willful. Her mouth was really too stinky. In front of Lao Ba, she called Yunyan a bitch and even cursed her for dying. This directly angered Lao Ba, and in front of the servants, he told Minghui that no matter who he married in his life, he would never marry her, and told her to stop dreaming!
Princess Minghui simply couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that she had done so much for Old Eighth, but in the end, it was all in vain. Princess Minghui's character was not particularly good to begin with, so she got angry and made a scene in front of Kangxi. If it were in the past, Old Eighth would definitely have restrained himself, but after experiencing despair and recovering his memories of his previous life!
