Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...
That night, Yinreng took charge and arranged all the officials and royal relatives to stay in the palace.
As for where to sleep?
Of course they had to sleep on the floor. There was nothing missing in the palace, and these people who were used to a life of luxury would not die from sleeping on the floor for a night.
On the other hand, Yinzhi took the imperial edict of Kangxi's abdication and went to the outside of the Forbidden City to read it out in person. Kangxi's personal army led by Zhuo Dan was still attacking the city gate at that time. The moment they saw Yinzhi, everyone knew that the game was over and they could only choose to surrender unwillingly.
After everything was settled, Yinreng felt a little relieved, but then he was filled with fatigue that penetrated deep into his bones.
He had been on edge ever since the gunshot in the afternoon. Now that the dust had finally settled and his nerves had relaxed, he felt tired all over.
But he was not sleepy at all. Seeing that it was already dark outside due to the heat, Yinreng thought about it and finally decided to go find Kangxi to have a chat.
He guessed that Old Kangtou must not be able to sleep at this moment.
But he was excited, while Old Kangtou was angry.
Kangxi still stayed in the Qianqing Palace tonight, but the entrance was heavily guarded and no one except Yinreng was allowed to approach.
When Yinreng found Kangxi, the imperial physician had already cleaned his wounds.
He sat on the Arhat bed, staring blankly at the candlelight on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Liang Jiugong and others saw Yinreng walk into the house, they wanted to kneel down and salute him, but Yinreng waved his hand to refuse.
"Everyone, get out."
"this……"
Liang Jiugong glanced at Kangxi awkwardly, fearing that the two of them would have a conflict in the house.
"Don't worry. If I can't even control an old man with a broken leg, then I don't have any business sitting on the throne."
Liang Jiugong thought so too, so he bowed and led everyone out of the room.
Yinreng sat down on the other side of the Luohan bed, causing Kangxi to glare at him.
Yinreng stretched his body and said with a sly smile,
"Is this your retribution for not treating your son well?"
Kangxi: “!”
He stared at Yinreng's annoying face with his eyes wide open, so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Yinreng picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of tea. He drank it down in one gulp, and the fatigue in his body seemed to dissipate a little.
Then he threw a big bomb to Kangxi——
"You've enjoyed eavesdropping on my thoughts over the years, haven't you?"
Kangxi finally couldn't help but scream: "You know all this?!"
When the people outside heard Kangxi's scream, they hurriedly pushed open the door to check the situation inside the house. Yinreng signaled that he was fine and drove the people out.
Kangxi didn't understand anything now. He stared at Yinreng with a gloomy face, as if he wanted to stare a bloody hole in him.
"You are indeed a monster. Everything that happened to me over the years was a trap set by you to make me let down my guard against you. That's why I am in this situation today..."
"You've wronged me."
Yinreng chuckled and shook his head.
"It's already this late, so there's no need for me to hide anything from you. Everything I told you this afternoon was true. I've never coveted the throne in my life, nor have I ever collaborated with the Boss and the others. You and I knew everything that happened today at the same time."
"Huh, who would believe that?"
"The facts are there. I can't help it if you don't believe me."
Yinreng shrugged, his face showing indifference.
Kangxi looked at Yinreng, and finally his eyes stopped at his lower abdomen, and he laughed sarcastically.
"What are you so proud of? You are nothing but a puppet without power or heir. Even if those evil creatures can push you onto the throne, you can't sit still."
Every word Kangxi said was heart-wrenching, and even now he still wanted to sow discord. But Yinreng had lived for several lifetimes, so how could he be so upset by just a few words from him?
"You are right. I really have no power over Yinzhi and the others. But you say I am a puppet, and I don't agree."
"Oh…"
Kangxi rolled his eyes and leaned lazily to the side, as if he had seen through Yinreng's future fate.
Yinreng also leaned aside.
"I think you'd better take care of yourself now, so as not to..."
"Why, do you still want to kill me?"
Kangxi suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a subtle nervousness in his tone. If Yinreng didn't know Kangxi well enough, he might not have been able to hear it.
"I won't do anything to you. After all, you've already ascended the throne. You should be magnanimous."
Yinreng smiled and thrust a knife into Kangxi's chest.
"But I can't guarantee anything about the other brothers. After all, you should know how you've treated them over the years..."
Kangxi: “…”
Yinreng felt that his mood had calmed down, so he stood up and walked out.
"You should go to bed early. After all... this is your last day here."
The next morning, after Yinreng announced the time for the next morning court session, he sent back all the officials who remained in the palace, and the princes also took their wives and children out of the palace.
Many people died in the palace yesterday, and it will take time to clean up and bury them.
The next step was to move the palace.
Except for Yinreng and Kangxi, all of Kangxi's concubines had to move out of the Six Eastern Palaces.
Because Kangxi had too many concubines, Yinreng eventually gave five of the six western palaces to Kangxi. Only the Yongshou Palace was where the empress dowager lived, and Yinreng did not allow anyone to move it.
Yinreng originally wanted to arrange Kangxi directly to Xianfu Palace, which was the cold palace where he and the Empress Dowager Guwalgiya hid from the rebels.
It was far away, and Yinreng didn't want to see him, so he wanted to leave him there, out of sight, out of mind.
However, the cold palace required time to repair, so Yinreng eventually arranged for Kangxi to live in the Qixiang Palace.
It is adjacent to the Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace.
After a while, when the Cining Palace was cleaned up, Yinreng planned to let the empress dowager live there.
In fact, given Kangxi's hypocritical nature, he would definitely be unhappy when he knew that Yinreng arranged the empress dowager to stay in the Cining Palace.
After all, after Empress Xiaozhuang died, Kangxi ordered the demolition of five of the palaces and planned to replicate them at Empress Xiaozhuang's mausoleum to show his filial piety.
After that, the vacant space in the Cining Palace was never used to rebuild a palace.
Yinreng didn't care about that.
Even though she's dead, you're still so cautious about this and that. Why didn't you spend more time with Empress Xiaozhuang when she was alive?
Oh... he has government affairs to deal with and has no time.
That's plenty of time to create a villain!
If Kangxi could spare some time to spend with Xiaozhuang, he wouldn't have more than 20 brothers now...
