Chapter 18

Aobai shouted that he was a loyal minister, and Wei Xiaobao shouted, "You are rebelling! Bringing knives to the Upper Study, you deserve to die a thousand deaths."

Aobai cried, "I didn't bring any knives!"

Wei Xiaobao shouted, "Isn't it obvious that you have a knife on your back? How can you say you didn't bring one?"

Wei Xiaobao's argument was baseless, as the knife was clearly inserted by Lin Yi, and Aobai had no way to refute him.

Moreover, Aobai had been hit heavily on the head by a bronze incense burner and stabbed in the back, though not fatally, he was seriously injured. In his panic, he could only shout in anger.

Emperor Kangxi, seeing that only four of the twelve young eunuchs were left alive, said, "You all saw it with your own eyes. Aobai, this scoundrel, was committing treason and even tried to kill me."

The four young eunuchs were still in shock, their faces ashen.

One of them repeatedly said, "Yes, yes!" while the other three could not utter a word.

Kangxi said, "Go out and announce my decree to summon Prince Kang and Suo Etu. Do not mention what just happened. If you leak any information, beware for your heads."

The four young eunuchs agreed and left.

Aobai continued to shout, "Unjust, unjust! The Emperor personally killed his loyal minister. If the previous emperor knew, he would never forgive you!"

Kangxi's face darkened, and he said, "Think of a way to stop him from talking nonsense!"

Wei Xiaobao responded, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he held a dagger and walked toward Aobai.

Seeing this, Lin Yi had a thought and quickly moved the live stream camera away to avoid showing the bloody scene, which might shock the viewers.

If the scene were too bloody and realistic, and his穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which refers to time travel or being transported to a different world) were exposed, it would be disastrous.

Lin Yi pointed the live stream camera at himself and said with a smile—

"Prince Kang and Suo Etu will be here soon, everyone, watch carefully."

At this point, there were already over two hundred people in the live stream, and more were joining. They responded—

「23333 Streamer, you're so rich and capricious! You're hiring actors again?」

「Rich streamer! I'm kneeling again! Ask again, are you hiring actors? Board and lodging are fine! Salary can be negotiated!」

「Exactly, it's fun to follow the streamer and shoot a movie! Salary can be negotiated! Is the streamer still hiring?」

「I'm signing up too!」

「Those of you upstairs, can you act? Look at Wei Xiaobao, Kangxi, and Aobai, they all did a great job!」

「Exactly, can you act? Look at Aobai, he's shouting like it's real!」

「If you can't act, you can learn! Is the streamer hiring? Even as a helper is fine!」

……

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at the comments in the live stream. Come to act, or be a helper?

If you could time travel, I would take you in!

At this moment, Wei Xiaobao had already walked up to Aobai, and with the dagger, he stabbed wildly in Aobai's mouth, completely destroying his tongue.

Wei Xiaobao then grabbed two handfuls of incense ash from the ground and forced it into Aobai's mouth.

The scene was incredibly bloody!

Lin Yi frowned, thinking how ruthless Wei Xiaobao was, not even blinking, not acting like a teenager at all!

Fortunately, he had moved the camera away, otherwise, the viewers would have been scared out of their wits before the scene was broadcast.

Aobai made choking sounds, almost unable to breathe, let alone speak.

Wei Xiaobao then pulled out the dagger from Aobai's back, holding it with his own dagger, one in each hand, standing guard by Aobai. If Aobai made any move, he would stab him several times.

Kangxi, seeing that the situation was under control, was very pleased. Seeing Aobai's strong body and his bloodied, fierce face, he felt secretly alarmed and realized that his actions had been too rash.

He had thought that with himself, Xiao Gui, Xiao Yi, and the twelve trained young eunuchs, they could handle Aobai.

But encountering a true warrior, the children were useless.

If not for Xiao Gui's trick with the incense ash and Xiao Yi's quick action to knock Aobai unconscious, he might have been killed by Aobai!

Aobai, once he started, would not stop, and would likely go on to harm the Empress Dowager and the Empress. The court ministers and palace guards were all his confidants, and if he were to install a young emperor, no one would dare to question him.

Thinking of this, Kangxi shuddered and thought that he should greatly reward Xiao Gui and Xiao Yi, as they had saved him this time!

After a while, the four young eunuchs returned, announcing the arrival of Prince Kang and Suo Etu.

The two entered the Upper Study and were shocked to see the dead bodies and blood everywhere. They immediately knelt and bowed, saying in unison, "May the Emperor be blessed and safe."

Kangxi said, "Aobai has committed treason, bringing knives into the palace and daring to attack me. Fortunately, with the protection of our ancestors, the young eunuchs Xiao Gui and Xiao Yi, along with the others, bravely resisted and captured him. How to deal with the aftermath, you decide."

Prince Kang and Suo Etu, who had long been at odds with Aobai and had been marginalized by him, were both shocked and delighted by the sudden change in the palace. They again bowed to the emperor, admitting their negligence and praising the emperor's good fortune and the protection of the gods, which had thwarted Aobai's evil plot.

Kangxi said, "Do not mention the assassination attempt to anyone, to avoid alarming the Empress Dowager and the Empress. If it gets out, it will only invite ridicule from the Han officials and the people. Aobai's crimes are heinous, and even without today's incident, he would have deserved death."

Prince Kang and Suo Etu both bowed and said, "Yes, yes!"

In their hearts, they were also suspicious: "Aobai, a born hero and the first warrior of our Manchu, if he really wanted to assassinate the Emperor, how could he be captured by a few young eunuchs? There must be something else going on."

But both were smart and did not say it outright. They were eager to see Aobai punished, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, with the emperor saying so, who would dare to ask more?

Prince Kang said, "Your Majesty, Aobai has many followers. We must capture them all to prevent any further trouble. Let Suo Etu stay here to protect you, not leaving your side for a moment. I will go and issue the decree to arrest Aobai's followers. What does Your Majesty think?"

Kangxi nodded, "Very well!"

Prince Kang left.

Suo Etu carefully examined Xiao Gui and Xiao Yi, saying, "The two of you have done a great service today in protecting the Emperor."

Xiao Gui, who had never met such a high-ranking official before, felt nervous and acted like a street urchin.

Lin Yi smiled, "It's all due to the Emperor's good fortune."

Kangxi, seeing that Lin Yi did not claim credit, was slightly surprised and had a higher opinion of "Xiao Yi."

Prince Kang acted quickly and soon returned with several trusted princes and ministers to pay their respects, reporting that most of Aobai's followers had been captured.

The original palace guards had been ordered to leave the palace, and the Emperor was asked to appoint new trusted guards.

Kangxi was very pleased, thinking, "The great deed is done! Without Aobai, I can finally rule on my own!"
