Fourth Master suddenly lifted his head to look at Directly Duke, but saw that his face was calm and his eyes were warm.

  That's obviously... concern...

  "Listen to your brother's words and go back, it's better for you to participate in this matter. In the future... there's no need to be too stubborn." The Fourth Prince stood up and patted Siye on the shoulder.

  The county king turned around and was about to leave when Fourth Master finally spoke out a word: "......is."

  Earlier, the straight county king didn't say a word, but just hooked up a smile at the corner of his mouth and walked out in big strides.

  This life, everything is different, but Lao Si is still Lao Si. He will fully support him as the emperor. The old path cannot be taken, after being disillusioned with everything, this life, as long as Yiru Genji is alive, he just wants to be free, since there is no fate to become the emperor, then... strive for a meritorious service!

  Fourth Master is really muddled, but... so far, Big Brother has never had any bad moves towards him.

  Just listen and follow suit.

  He took a deep breath and felt sorry for his own weakness.

  The eldest brother is a prince of a commandery and also quite favored by the emperor, the second brother is a crown prince, one person below him and ten thousand people above him...

  Only they, the princes, who seem to be glorious in name, actually don't have a good life either.

  The next day, the King of Zhige put forward: "The prince wants to come, and there is no emperor in the capital who can preside over the affairs. It's not like that. Why don't we just call back the third and fourth elders? They are still young, and this matter cannot be discussed together."

  Kangxi nodded and glanced at Zhenguo Wang: "Then go back, you also go back to Beijing, I don't feel at ease."

  Zhao Wang smiled and responded, "If the Emperor believes me, I will leave now. Please don't get angry, Your Majesty. How much can the Crown Prince know about what's going on here? Most of it is still deception by those below him. Please don't blame me for this, Your Majesty."

  "Emperor Kangxi took a deep breath: 'I don't want to blame him, it's just... never mind, let's not mention it.'"

  Third Master and Fourth Master kept their heads down, but Fourth Master was shocked in his heart.

  Is Huang Ama's trust in her elder brother really excessive?

  Who is the mastermind behind all this? Is it really Big Brother? If so, he's too impatient. Although Emperor Mama scolded the Crown Prince twice this year, she still loves him the most...

  Is it too early to start now?

  "Old Three and Old Four, follow your elder brother back to the capital and help him with his duties. This time, you have done well, and the Emperor will reward you." Kangxi said with a smile.

  Third Master and Fourth Master also let out a sigh of relief, it seems they were not swept away.

  After thanking each other, they exchanged a few words of family talk before leaving.

  After leaving the government office, the two of them looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to say.

  Even the dull San Ye knows that being harmonious with them doesn't necessarily mean they will be harmonious with the Crown Prince.

  Big brother and second brother are fighting so fiercely, they will only make it more difficult for each other.

  "Let's go." Fourth Master said with his hands behind his back.

  Third Master grunted and reluctantly turned his head back for a glance before striding away.

  It's really frustrating! At first, I didn't know the situation and it was okay to say, but after coming here and seeing the embankment, I thought this was going to be a big deal!

  Who knows, it ended with a tiger's head and a snake's tail.

  They're all young people, if they can't get things done, how can they not be disheartened?

  But they also knew in their hearts that this was not just a matter of dealing with a few corrupt officials, but rather... the problem of the crown prince currying favor with officials, and the problem of imperial power.

  In such cases, San Ye and Si Ye are no longer eligible to participate.

  Can't bear it, can only endure it.

  When they were about to leave, San Ye and Si Ye met with Emperor Kangxi and then followed Zheng Prince back to the capital on horseback.

  Starting from Kaifeng and riding horses all the way back to Beijing is a challenge for both San Ye and Si Ye.

  The Prince of Zheng was a veteran of the battlefield and was naturally accustomed to it. In recent years, he had followed Emperor Qianlong on his southern tours or to Mongolia, mostly riding horses.

  But San Ye and Si Ye were not used to it, after such a long time riding horses, once they arrived at the inn, they were tired like dogs.

  Three days later, when they returned to Beijing, Fourth Master felt as if he couldn't feel his legs anymore.

  Outside Xizhimen, Prince Zhenguo burst out laughing: "You two still need to practice well! Big brother will leave first, you all return to the mansion, rest for a few days, and then take care of things, it's not late."

  Having said that, he didn't wait for either of them to respond and rode his horse into the city.

  Fourth Master and Third Master clasped their hands together in respect, then without saying another word, they also followed on horseback into the city.

  Third Master Hou said, "Go and get me a rickshaw!"

  The slaves had no choice but to pull carts, and Third Master was waiting outside the city.

  Fourth Master returned home all the way because he didn't mention it in advance so the house didn't know.

  Knowing he had returned to the front yard and started bathing, Fu Jin led a group of people to welcome him.

  Su Peisheng's legs were also trembling with fatigue, but he couldn't rest: "Master, the mistress has arrived with the young masters from the back courtyard."

  Fourth Master frowned: "Call her back, I'll go see her later."

  Su Peisheng hastily responded, coming out with a smile: "Fu Jin, Ce Fu Jin, the master said that you all should return first, and he will visit later."

  The lady hastily said: "Master has returned from a long journey and must be tired. Why not have dinner tonight and also to refresh yourself?"

  Su Peisheng went to ask Fourth Master again, but Fourth Master refused.

  What's wrong with your mood? Still catching wind?

  After everyone left, Fourth Master had someone bring in Ye Zao.

  Ye Zao came from the other end, except for Yun Shi behind her who might know, no one else knew, at least not this kid.

  Fourth Master has just taken a bath and his clothes are not yet properly dressed. At this time, it's not even June, but it's already very hot, and it's almost noon, so he wouldn't feel cold anyway.

  Jian Ye Zao arrived, and Fourth Master waved his hand, ordering everyone to leave.

  Su Peisheng went out and brought the door with him.

  Ye Zao had just arrived when he was pulled by Fourth Master into the inner chamber without even having a chance to pay his respects.

  He pressed his lips against hers, really pressing them together...

  Ye Zao let out two cries and Fourth Master tore his clothes.

  Finally able to speak, she hurriedly pushed against Fourth Master and pitifully said: "It hurts, I'm afraid of the pain!"

  He rushed in so directly, he must have gotten hurt... When did Fourth Master become so impatient?

  The fourth master didn't care and just used more force instead.

  "Be careful, you'll get hurt..."

  Fourth Master's hand paused for a moment, but he continued to tear. Ye Zao was extremely angry and didn't even bother to resist anymore.

  Fourth Master actually listened and didn't plan on hitting her, he just couldn't control himself for a moment.

  Seeing her like this, Fourth Master couldn't help but laugh: "Little fox has a big temper. I heard that."

  "Others think Grandpa doesn't care about them anymore."

  Fourth Master kissed her collarbone fiercely: "It's just that I don't want to give you up."

  As he spoke, he slowly kissed her, apparently wanting her to get used to it.

  Fourth Master is so 'on the right track', Ye Zao doesn't hesitate either, after all Fourth Master is also 'a feast for the eyes', and he's not at a disadvantage. He responds fiercely.

  Fourth Master's eyes were filled with a smile, and he became even more attentive.
