Hearing Yinreng's unhappy question, everyone's eyes moved upwards, and the next second they saw Yinreng's face as dark as ink.

Then he quickly looked away guiltily and stuffed food into his mouth in a hurry.

Yinreng took a deep breath and picked up the chopsticks at hand.

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

He doesn't have many hobbies, and eating delicious food is his biggest one.

But because he has never given up exercising over the years, his body is still thin and well-proportioned.

Among all the people, only Yinyou learned the news recently.

Yinyou originally didn't know about this matter. His mother was a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures in the harem, and never cared about worldly affairs. Ever since he moved to the Beile Mansion outside the palace, he no longer had any access to news from the palace.

But recently, every time he went to court, Yinyou could feel that his fifth brother was always staring at his second brother.

Then he discovered that it was not just the fifth brother, but all the other brothers were staring at the second brother. He was curious, so he looked for an opportunity to trick the fifth brother.

The fifth brother is someone who can't keep secrets, and then he found out about this explosive news.

Apart from him, everyone else basically has their own sources.

It was the eldest prince who suggested coming to Yuqing Palace for a free meal today.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the meal to quietly ask whether the news was true, but as soon as he finished talking to Yinreng, those little bastards behind him smelled the scent and followed him.

Now, with such a large group of people following us, I don’t even know how to start asking questions.

Yinreng took a few more bites and found that several people were looking at him again. He rolled his eyes.

"If you have to fart, let it out. If you don't, eat quickly! After you finish eating, get back on duty!"

Everyone: “…”

In fact, when Yinreng noticed where these people were looking, he guessed what they wanted to ask.

But Yinreng didn't care.

Other diseases can be concealed, but how can the fact that one cannot have children be concealed?

Practices like "substituting a cat for the prince" would never happen in the Qing imperial family.

After all, there are people who record when he goes to bed and who he sleeps with.

The only person with room for maneuver was Kangxi, but it was absolutely impossible for Kangxi to confuse the royal bloodline.

Kangxi said that he didn't care about one's background, but in fact, he was the one who cared about one's background the most.

So when he played his cards openly with Kangxi, he was certain that there was no possibility for him to inherit the throne.

At this critical juncture, it is actually a good thing for him that this matter has been exposed.

A faint arc appeared at the corner of Yinreng's lips.

The princes all knew about it, and those who tried hard to curry favor with Yuqing Palace would soon receive the news.

Then he won't have to worry about how to avoid those people's advances.

Yinzhi wanted to ask Yinreng, but when he caught a glimpse of the crowd of people out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't ask a single question.

When the prince was eating, there were eunuchs around him serving the dishes. If it were just him and Yinreng at the moment, he could have driven the servants away, or found an opportunity to ask Yinreng after the meal.

But now there were people all around him, and he couldn't open his mouth at all.

Yinzhi felt depressed.

After breakfast, Yinreng went to Jiuli Mountain on the outskirts of the city to check the progress of the project.

Yinzhi forced his way into Yinreng's carriage on the pretext that he had participated in the planning of Jiuli Mountain.

All the princes who wanted to find out the news stood at the gate of Yuqing Palace and looked at each other.

Yinzhi was depressed for the whole morning and finally couldn't help but complain.

"I finally got the chance to chat with the second brother, and you insisted on going with me. Now you're done, right?"

Such a good opportunity is gone!

It was all the fault of these bastards. He didn't even have a chance to ask a single question and ended up making things difficult for the third brother.

Yinzhen was in a bad mood at the moment, and rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"You have your own purpose, and so do we. Yuqing Palace belongs to my second brother, not you."

Yinzhi glared,

"Do you understand what 'first come, first served' means? If you hadn't interfered, I would have already figured it out by now!"

"You're the one who's causing trouble..."

Yinsi saw that if the two continued talking, they might start arguing, so he quickly stopped them and said,

"Do you want everyone to know about this?!"

After hearing this, the two of them calmed down.

But everyone's face looked bad, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.

After a moment of silence, Yinsi suggested,

"This is not the place to talk. Let's all go to work first. We can talk about everything after my second brother and the others come back."

Everyone had no better idea and could only do as Yinsi said.

Kangxi soon learned that the princes had gathered in Yuqing Palace.

If the timeline were advanced half a year, Kangxi might not have suspected anything. After all, Yinreng had always had a good relationship with his brothers. Even the young Fifteen could come up to Yinreng and say a few words.

But now the court is in chaos, and if the princes continue to gather in Yuqing Palace, he will have to be suspicious.

Kangxi called the manager of Yuqing Palace and asked if anything had happened during breakfast.

The manager tells the truth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi and the others weren't chatting, but strangely, everyone was staring at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not even eating a few bites of breakfast."

Kangxi's heart tightened, and he asked again,

"Apart from this, is there anything else unusual?"

"Yes... The Crown Prince is going to Jiuli Mountain today to investigate the progress of the project. His Royal Highness Prince Cheng insisted on going with him. After the Crown Prince left, the other princes had a few words at the door."

"What's the content?"

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the manager's face.

Seeing this, Kangxi waved his hand in annoyance, and the person in charge was pardoned.

After he left, Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Old Eight and Wei, and report anything unusual directly to me!"

Liang Jiugong was startled and quickly lowered his head.

“Hey!”

His Majesty asked him to keep an eye on Wei. Could it be that the "rumor" had spread?

No way.

He investigated the secret informants in his hands particularly strictly. It had been two months since the incident, and the Ministry of Punishment had not been quiet for some time.

Adhering to the principle of rather killing the wrong person than letting the guilty go, he has cleaned the Xinzheku inside and out several times. Could there be any fish that have slipped through the net?

Liang Jiugong's face was wrinkled and looked extremely ugly.

If the news of that matter really leaked out, given the Emperor's temper, he would probably be skinned alive if not dead.

After Liang Jiugong went down to make arrangements with trepidation, Kangxi lost interest in continuing to handle government affairs. He put down the brush in his hand and instructed the eunuch next to him,

"The Imperial Garden."

At the same time, Yinreng and Yinzhi were sitting in a jolting carriage.

Yinreng was well aware of the truth that "if you want to get rich, build roads first", so when he decided to rebuild Jiuli Mountain, he also planned the road from the capital to Jiuli Mountain.

But that road is still under construction, and the one they are walking on now is a country road, and the road conditions are really not good.
