When he came to the study, Kang Xi saw him and said,""Little Guizi, you have done a great service. The Empress Dowager will reward you again and promote you.”Wei Xiaobao chuckled. What great merit? The fake Empress Dowager was just trying to curry favor with her superior. He hurriedly knelt down and said,"It's all the credit of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. I've taken the credit."”
Kang Xi laughed and said,"Stand up. There's no one else here. It's fine." It's just that we're all young. We have to do something big to show those ministers, lest they say that I promoted a jester.”Wei Xiaobao wasn't sure what the jester meant, but he could tell from Kang Xi's tone that it meant something bad. He stood up and replied,"It's a pity that Oboi has been captured. The great merit is over, so there's nothing to do."”
"Oboi may have been captured, but he has a lot of followers. If they rescue him, it'll be a big problem." Kang Xi suddenly said with a dark face.”Wei Xiaobao knew that Kang Xi wanted Oboi executed, so he said,"Oboi has many enemies, and when we captured him that day, he was heavily injured. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive.”When Kang Xi heard Wei Xiaobao say this, he thought that Wei Xiaobao was quite tactful. There were some things that he didn't need to point out. He said gratefully,"That's good, but the Imperial Court still needs to treat him well. So, today you will go to Prince Kang's residence to visit Ao Bai.”
"I'm going to Prince Kang's house to see when Oboi will die," said Wei Xiaobao.”After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. But Wei Xiaobao felt that the two were laughing sinisterly, like the laughter in TV dramas when two bad guys came up with a plan to harm others.
Wei Xiaobao followed the four guards and rode a tall horse to Prince Kang's house. He had never ridden a horse before. Although this was his first time, he had practiced martial arts all day long and his body was very agile, so he did not make a fool of himself.
When they arrived at Prince Kang's house, Prince Kang had already set up an incense table and was waiting for the imperial edict. Wei Xiaobao waved his hand at Prince Kang and smiled."I don't have any imperial edict. I'm only here on the Emperor's orders to see Ao Bai.”
"Yes, yes." Prince Kang nodded.”He knew that Wei Xiaobao was the Emperor's favorite, so he fawned over him. He took Wei Xiaobao's hand and said earnestly,"Eunuch Gui, it's rare for you to come here. Why don't you have a few drinks first before you go see Oboi?”A banquet was set up, and the four guards sat at another table, accompanied by the martial artists in the residence. Prince Kang sat down in the parlor with Wei Xiaobao and asked him about his hobbies. Wei Xiaobao knew that he was now the subject of flattery, so he just laughed it off and refused to tell the truth.
Prince Kang thought that these eunuchs naturally did not like women, and money probably did not matter. He smiled and said,"Eunuch Gui, we hit it off at first sight. There are a few good horses in my residence. Why don't you pick one and treat it as a gift from Little Wang?”
Wei Xiaobao laughed to himself. What old friends? He was just trying to figure out Kang Xi's intentions through me. "How dare I trouble Your Highness to reward me?" he asked, pretending to be overjoyed.”
"We're brothers," Prince Kang said with a smile."What reward? Take it as you see fit. It'll also bring glory to your brother."”The two of them went to the stable, and Prince Kang ordered the stables to bring a few ponies for Wei Xiaobao to choose from. "I'm short," said Wei Xiaobao,"so I need to ride a big horse to look taller.”
"I'm the one who was muddle-headed!" Prince Kang slapped his thigh.”"Bring me that jade flower!" he said to the horse servant.”
The coachman hurriedly brought a tall horse from the inner stable. The horse's snow-white fur was mixed with some red spots. It raised its head and neighed, looking extremely handsome. The horse's accessories were all made of gold and jewelry. Even the stirrups were made of gold. Just the accessories alone were worth a lot. If one was not a noble, how could one ride such a good horse? Even though Wei Xiaobao didn't know much about horses, he knew that this was a good horse."What a beautiful horse!" "This is a famous horse from Dawan sent from the Western Regions. Although it's tall, it's only two years and a few months old." A fine horse matched with a famous scholar. This horse was just right for Eunuch Gui.”
Wei Xiaobao naturally refused, but Prince Kang's beard rose."We Manchurians are straightforward. If you treat me as a brother, then ride this horse and we will be no different. Otherwise, I will be very unhappy.”Wei Xiaobao had been coveting the horse for a long time, so he accepted it.
Prince Kang patted the horse's head."Yuhua, Yuhua, in the future, when you follow Eunuch Gui, you must be obedient.”With that, he let Wei Xiaobao sit on it and walked around the manor. Wei Xiaobao wasn't very good at riding, but he felt very stable on the horse.
The two of them returned to the flower pavilion. Wei Xiaobao thought that Prince Kang still had a copy of the 42 Chapters of the Scripture, so he wanted to take it away. On second thought, the people from the Heaven and Earth Society would be coming soon, so it was better for him to be the hall master first. "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness," said Wei Xiaobao,"but we should get down to business first." I'll go and see Ao Bai first, then I'll drink with you.”
"That's right," Prince Kang nodded."This is an important matter that has been ordered by the imperial edict, so we naturally cannot be careless." Eunuch Gui, please go and report to the Emperor. Tell him that we are keeping a tight watch on him and that Oboi will not be able to escape even if he has wings!”"Of course," said Wei Xiaobao. "Do you want me to go with you?" Prince Kang asked.”Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'I'm going to kill someone, how am I supposed to do it with you?' "I dare not trouble Your Highness!" he said hurriedly.”Prince Kang had always been timid and afraid of trouble. He had been deeply angered by Oboi when he was in charge. Now that Oboi was imprisoned in his residence, every time he went, Oboi would scold him for his past deeds, making him lose face in front of the people in the residence. Therefore, he did not want to see Oboi. He ordered a few guards to bring Wei Xiaobao to investigate.
The place where Ao Bai was imprisoned was an independent stone house in the back garden. There were more than ten guards standing outside the house. There was no place to hide in the empty space. Other than the guards standing around, there were two female guards patrolling everywhere. The security was quite tight. The leader of the guards unlocked the iron door and let Wei Xiaobao in to check.
There was a stove on the left side of the door, and an old servant was cooking there. The guard leader said,"This door is usually not open. Even if we eat, we will prepare it here and give it to the criminal."”"You've done well, Your Highness. As long as you don't open the gates, Oboi won't be able to escape."”The guard said,"His Highness has ordered that if the criminals escape, we will all be beheaded."”
Before the two of them could enter, they heard Oboi's curses coming from inside. He scolded,"I have been risking my life for you before you were born. You actually dared to send someone to plot against me in the palace. You deserve to die!”After scolding Kangxi, he took turns scolding Suo Ertu, Prince Kang, and the other ministers.
Wei Xiaobao peered through the bars and saw Oboi walking around with his hair disheveled and his chains tied behind him. He didn't want to poison the Ao Bai Rice. Instead, he looked left and right, waiting for the people from the Heaven and Earth Society to come.
