Malhun and Changning boarded the same carriage.

"Go back home!"

Chang Ning shouted outside, his face still showing an unchangeable gloomy and fierce expression.

In comparison, Marhun's complexion looked much better.

"Brother Prince Gong, calm down. I was inconsiderate in what happened today. I brought those idiots with me because I wanted to make the emperor more cautious, but I forgot that they can't withstand intimidation."

Thinking that Kangxi had taken the initiative into his own hands with just a few words, Marhun sighed deeply.

To put it bluntly, they were not sure they could defeat Kangxi with their small numbers, so they tried to bring in all the influential members of the royal family to support them.

As a result, the situation failed to hold up, but instead became a breakthrough for Kangxi to divide them from within.

Everything today is like a huge joke.

well……

Having lost this opportunity, it will not be so easy to bring down the prince.

Thinking of this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Malhun's face.

"How do you expect me to calm down? You were the one who told me you had a 70% chance of bringing down the Crown Prince this time, and what happened?"

Chang Ning's face was distorted with anger.

"As soon as I got there, someone pointed a musket at my head!"

There is no doubt that Chang Ning is very afraid of death.

In fact, he regretted it when the guards aimed at him with muskets in the hall.

He hated the prince, but no matter how much he hated him, he had no intention of getting himself involved.

Malhun's eyebrows twitched violently several times.

It turned out that Chang Ning was so angry because he was frightened by the musket.

he****

Malhun couldn't help cursing in his heart. He finally knew why he failed today.

The most ridiculous thing is that he now has to comfort this hopeless mess.

Malhun forced a smile and changed the subject.

"Don't be angry, my brother. Manchu males are rare, and the Aisin-Gioro family has even fewer. If they hadn't committed an unforgivable crime, the Emperor wouldn't have killed them."

"But this time..."

Malhun frowned as he thought of the forty-one Manchus who were executed.

"It is unwise for the Emperor to wantonly execute the Manchus for the Crown Prince. I'm afraid we are not the only ones who are unhappy."

There will definitely be more trouble about this matter.

But Chang Ning snorted and didn't buy it at all.

“Don’t brag about things you’re not sure about in the future!”

The smile on Malhun's face froze for a moment, but he adjusted his mood back to normal in a very short time.

Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Although Prince Gong has not been involved in state affairs for several years, his influence in the upper three banners is still there. Before finding a suitable replacement, he has to coax Chang Ning.

"My brother, what I'm saying is that I was inconsiderate this time. I thought those people would be our helpers."

Seeing that Marhun was so humble, Prince Gong's mood finally improved.

"Zong Ling is also an idiot. Even if the emperor can delay and not depose the crown prince now, what about the future? He only cares about the immediate benefits. Sooner or later, he will pay the price for his stupidity today!"

"My brother is right. The long-term absence of an heir in the Eastern Palace is detrimental to the stability of the imperial court. The Emperor is now in his prime, and it is uncertain who will prevail in the future..."

Malhun responded to Chang Ning's words with a smile, but he was thinking about Prince Yu Fuquan.

If they could win over Fuquan, they wouldn't be as passive as they are now.

It's just that because of what happened a few years ago, Fuquan has never been in a good mood with him. He has tried many times to test Fuquan's opinion on the prince's infertility, but Fuquan cleverly changed the subject every time.

However, after what happened today, Malhun felt that he should try his best to win over Fuquan.

Otherwise, if he played with these idiots every day, he was afraid that he would pick up their habits.

After sending Changning back to the Prince's Mansion, Malhun rushed to the Lifanyuan to meet the Eighth Prince Yinsi.

After hearing about what happened to Marhun and others, Yinsi pondered for a moment and comforted Marhun,

"Uncle An, don't worry. The Emperor had a hard time gaining the throne, and he already hates others interfering in the succession. Your current actions are nothing short of coercion to the Emperor, not to mention..."

Those words went around in Yinsi's throat for a while, but finally came out.

"The fact that the Crown Prince is unable to have children is a huge blow to the Emperor. We must give him some time to come to terms with this."

Seeing that Yinsi had no intention of blaming him, Marhun felt relieved for a moment.

"You are right, sir. Seizing the throne is no easy task. It is I who am acting too hastily."

Yinsi put on a faint smile,

"Uncle Wang, please go back first. I still have some unfinished business here."

"become……"

Shortly after Marhun walked out of the house, a figure appeared behind the screen.

It was the ninth prince Yinzhen.

Yinsi looked at Yin'er leisurely.

"How is it? Are you relieved now?"

This time, the chances of Marhun and his men getting what they want are slim, and he had analyzed this with Yinzhen early on.

It’s just that Yinzhen is stubborn and doesn’t believe it.

"I'm definitely still worried until the results come out!"

Yinzhen walked over to the seat where Marhun had been sitting with a smile on his face and sat down.

"My second brother has done nothing wrong except not having children. These people are obsessed with this. It's really despicable."

Yinsi shook his head.

"A new emperor appoints his own ministers. Following the right master can guarantee wealth and prosperity for more than three generations. Everyone in the court, civil and military, curses Tong Banchao, but who wouldn't want to be Tong Banchao?"

Yinzhen curled his lips and said sarcastically,

"They deserve..."

Yinsi ignored Yin'er, but just frowned and thought about where to make the next move.

It is undeniable that when Yinsi learned that Yinreng was infertile, he also had some thoughts.

After all, the temptation of the throne is too great.

He was confident that if he took that position, he would be able to make his second brother live a good life.

But later he realized that what he could give to his second brother, the other brothers could also give after they took over.

Maybe it could save his second brother from being criticized by Marhun and others, and he would put all his little thoughts aside.

Under the current circumstances, it doesn’t matter to the second brother which brother takes the position.

The difference is that his brothers are not like him, surrounded by messy people.

"Old Nine."

"Um?"

Yinsi woke Yinlu from his thoughts.

"Have you communicated with Fifth Brother and the others recently?"

Yinzhen shook his head.

"No, I've been busy with the opening of my mansion lately, so every time I go to pay my respects to my mother, it's always late. My fifth brother is also busy at the Dali Temple, so I haven't spoken to him for a while."

His wedding date was set for August, but the house was only a prototype. He now ran back and forth between the outer city and the imperial city, and was busy every day.
