Xiu Ning waved her hand dismissively, "Continue to instruct the Imperial Household Department to take good care of the people. The Emperor is clearly satisfied with my arrangements, there's no need to sabotage them."

Although Xiuning felt that the eldest prince and the crown prince would not be imprisoned for long.

Spring Rain should say, "This servant understands."

...

A few more days passed, and rumors began to circulate about the establishment of a new crown prince.

The support rates for Yinyu, Yinqi, and Yinsi presented a comical scene.

The one with the most support was naturally Yinyu, while the one with the least support was Yinqi.

Yinzhi, on the other hand, quietly amassed a great deal of connections with the eldest prince. With a little more effort, he might be able to go toe-to-toe with Yinyu.

This was an unexpected outcome. Yinzhi, this person actually managed to rise to prominence. Everyone had one thought in their minds: Why?

Yes, on what grounds?!

“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be dissatisfied, but Yinzhi is just a nobleman’s son. How can he surpass our Yikun Palace lineage?”

Yinqi was devastated. In a fit of rage, he led his men directly to Consort Yi's palace, not even bothering to complain to her. He simply couldn't understand.

Consort Yi was also bitter. Why would she give away something that would benefit her own child to someone else for nothing? Once they entered the palace, who wasn't an ambitious woman?

"Yinqi, your mother really didn't expect that Yinzhi would have this ability. We've all been deceived by him."

Consort Yi frowned, feeling that Yinzhi's previous pretense was just a smokescreen.

Actually, this person has a lot on their mind.

Sure enough, as soon as the storm broke, their secret was exposed.

After listening to Consort Yi's words, Yinqi steered the conversation towards Consort Guo Luoluo, the wife of Yinsi, and his own younger brother Yintang.

“Mother, we, mother and son, may be stepping stones for others.”

Fortunately, Guo Luoluo was just a distant cousin, and Yinqi felt that since she was married, it was understandable for her to side with her husband.

But what kind of person was Yinzhen? He couldn't distinguish between close and distant relatives.

Normally, it would be fine for Yinzhi to help Yinsi, but at this time, it was unacceptable for Yinzhi to have Yinzhi pull Yin'e to stand behind Yinsi.

Please, I am your own brother, Yinzhen. Why do you have to act like you're on the same side as the Eighth Prince?

Consort Yi was furious about this. What could she say? Her own son had already gone astray, his crooked elbows were bent outwards. She had spoken, scolded, and hit him, but it was no use.
