When Yinreng heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

Did the boss and his friends rebel in their previous life?

How dare you?

The old man holds more than 80% of the military power in Kyoto, so it is indeed a bit impulsive for him to do this.

"Do you know... who finally sat on the throne?"

Kangxi looked at Yinreng, whose face was full of disapproval, and asked him in a weak voice.

"What do you mean? They succeeded in the end?"

Yinreng was surprised.

"Yeah...it worked...twice."

As Kangxi spoke, a hint of self-mockery flashed between his brows.

He worked hard all his life, but was still not as successful as his sons' combined efforts in three years.

The fact is just as the saying goes, "Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few."

Yinreng looked at the expression on Kangxi's face, and thoughts raced through his mind. Since he asked this question, the person who would sit on the throne in the end would probably be an unexpected person.

Who could it be?

It should be impossible for the fourth child.

He must have hinted in his mind that the fourth son would inherit the throne. If he had ascended the throne, Kangxi would not have asked about it specifically.

Could it be the boss?

But the eldest brother's scheming and tactics are obviously no match for the eighth brother. As long as the eighth brother is around, it would be a pipe dream for him to ascend the throne.

As for the third brother...

He was obviously more interested in teaching and educating people than being an emperor, so it was most likely not him.

Who is that?

Could it be that the ninth one is unreliable?

If Lao Jiu ascends the throne, won't he become like a Pixiu and exploit the people even more ruthlessly?!

It can’t be Old Fourteen!

Yinreng went through all the possible candidates in his mind, but ultimately could not come to a conclusion. Finally, he looked up at the leisurely Kangxi.

"Who is it?"

"What? Can't you guess?"

There was a hint of subtle mockery on Kangxi's old face. Yinreng saw it clearly, and the interest in his heart gradually faded away.

Seeing that his troubled son was about to get angry, Kangxi sighed helplessly and said a name that shocked Yinreng.

"It's Hongxing."

"Hongxing?! How could it be?!"

Yinreng widened his eyes in disbelief.

"You find it incredible too, right?"

The self-deprecating look on Kangxi's face became even more pronounced.

“But it’s true.”

After coming out of Kangxi's bedroom, Yinreng was a little dazed, and the outside was already surrounded by brothers who came to check on Kangxi's condition.

Seeing him come out, everyone surrounded him immediately.

Seeing Yinreng's absent-minded look, everyone's heart sank. Yinsi choked up his throat and asked cautiously,

"Second brother...is he okay?"

Yinreng came back to his senses from his thoughts, raised his lips towards everyone and said,

"Don't worry, he's awake now, but he's a little weak and his energy is limited. The doctor said he needs to rest."

As soon as these words were spoken, the worries on everyone's faces immediately dissipated.

Only Yinsi and Yin'er, who knew him better, knew how wrong his current condition was.

Yin'er quietly tugged at the corner of Yinsi's clothes. Yinsi looked back at him and saw that his brows were furrowed and his eyes were still on his second brother. He immediately understood what he was thinking.

After everyone else was sent away, Yinsi and Yin'er followed Yinreng back to Wuyi Zhai.

When Yinreng had completely calmed down, he looked up and saw his younger brothers sitting on his left and right like stone statues.

"Have you two finished your work? So you're free?"

Yin·Idle Man·Si: "..."

Yin·Idle Man·Ling: "Brother, don't you feel guilty about what you said? My eighth brother and I are still free. We are so busy every day that we hate to sleep and just work!"

"So what are you two doing?"

Yinreng was a little puzzled.

"What did the old man say to you today? Why did you feel so distracted after coming out of there?"

Yinzhen stared at Yinreng with burning eyes, not missing any change in his expression.

Yinreng knew that the two of them would ask this, but what he and the old man talked about were things that could not be said out loud, so he just replied with a slightly stiff expression,

"...He told me about something that happened many years ago, when you two were still young."

Yinsi and Yin'er looked at each other and saw the realization in each other's eyes.

I'm afraid the emperor wants to use the past events to make my second brother feel guilty.

Yes, when he was young, his second brother was the only one he cared about.

When the brothers grew up, they found out that the man actually didn't miss anyone.

In his eyes, the most important thing is always his status and rights.

Yinreng was silent for a while, then changed the subject.

"Want to drink with me tonight?"

"Okay."

"Can."

"I still have some memorials on hand, how about..."

“…”

Yinreng looked at his two younger brothers with stiff faces, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He really didn't expect that in his previous life, his brothers had also united to rebel, and their purpose was to nominate his eldest son Hongxing to ascend the throne.

Now that he knew, his gratitude towards these brothers deepened.

After that day, Kangxi's health was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Sometimes he spent several days in a coma, and it took two months before he fell into a complete sleep.

Yinreng guessed that he might be waiting for the boss and the other three, but he did not verify his guess.

After that day, the atmosphere between Yinreng and Kangxi was much better than before, although when he was sober, Yinreng still didn't have much to talk about with him.

But when he was unconscious, Yinreng would go to see him and tell him some things about later generations.

On October 29, Kangxi suddenly woke up and was able to get out of bed.

The imperial physician knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and he hurriedly sent someone to Wuyizhai to deliver the news to Yinreng.

At that time, Yinreng was discussing matters with ministers in the study. After knowing the news, he did not dare to delay. He called Yuanbao and hurried to Qingxi Academy, while ordering his servants to return to Beijing to pass on the message, requiring all the princes, grandchildren and even the concubines to come to Changchun Garden to wait.

All the ministers knew what was going to happen, so they followed Yinreng silently. When Yinreng arrived at Qingxi Study, he found that Kangxi was sitting on the bed eating milk cakes.

He pulled Yuanbao to stand in front of Kangxi's bed, silent and unable to say a word. However, Yuanbao bowed to him obediently.

Kangxi called Yuanbao to his side with a smile and stuffed a milk cake into his hand.

Yuanbao thanked him and ate the milk cake in three bites.

Kangxi's eyes were filled with smiles.

This child... looks so much like young Yinreng.

I wonder if he can see the original Yinreng in the underworld...
