Emperor Kangxi's sharp tongue is well-known.

At this moment, he gave the Eighth Prince and Consort Liang a thorough dressing-down.

Then, on the grounds that the Eighth Prince was ambitious, disrespectful to his father, elder brother, and unloving to his brothers, and attempted to shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the Eighth Prince and his mother were demoted to commoners.

Life imprisonment!

Because of the confinement of the eldest and eighth princes, the princes witnessed the eighth prince's lofty ambitions.

On the one hand, they witnessed what an imperial family was like.

One by one, they quieted down.

After being reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhi had long since fallen into obscurity.

The only ones who caught the attention of the court officials were the fourth, tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth princes.

It's true that the Ninth Prince wasn't favored by Emperor Kangxi, and right now he's jumping around trying to drag the Eighth Prince out.

The Eighth Prince probably understood his situation and, as in history, handed over power to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen could not refuse and accepted it with a smile.

The ninth and tenth brothers started following the fourteenth brother again.

With power in hand, Yinzhen began his true revenge.

As a prince, the eighth prince was already in poor health after falling into poverty.

He had the unfortunate experience of witnessing his wife being humiliated by his fourteenth brother right in front of him.

The Eighth Prince's wife angrily denounced Yinzhen as a heartless and ungrateful wretch!

Yinzhen's expression didn't change.

Yinzhi understood something in an instant and suddenly laughed.

Just as he was about to say something, his mouth was shut up.

Thus, with his eyes wide with anger, Yinzhi watched in despair as his Eighth Prince's wife swallowed gold and committed suicide.

Yinzhen stood to the side, his smile as ghostly as a demon.

"How are you feeling, myna bird? Ha! Do you like the dragon robe I gave you?"

Upon hearing this, Yinzhi's face was filled with disbelief.

No wonder he couldn't figure it out!

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out who did it!

They only thought it was Prince Zhi or his father, the Emperor.

Unexpected!

In an instant, Yinzhi's expression became extremely complicated.

If he had known that one day a woman would bring ruin to himself and his mother, how could he...

Just thinking about it made him feel regretful and desperate.

If he had held back that day, he could have simply taken her into his harem after he ascended the throne.

Once he becomes emperor, what in the world isn't his?

"Speak!" Yinzhen kicked him in the chest.

Yinzhi, with a handkerchief covering his mouth, lay half-reclined on the ground, curled up like a shrimp.

Yinzhen kindly took the handkerchief off for him.

Then they heard Yinzhi chuckle softly: "Your wife is truly the most delicious thing ever!"

Yinzhen listened to his hoarse laughter, sneered, and strode away.

Not long after, the eighth prince passed away.

No one knows what Kangxi was thinking with a sullen face.

However, after returning to the Prince's mansion, Shirley seemed to become aloof and ignore everyone.

Similarly, Yinzhen found it difficult to face Shirley.

So when they got back, they released Shushu Jueluo.

Shushu Jueluo was locked up for a while, and coupled with her anxiety, she looked more than ten years older.

Therefore, Yinzhen did not refuse Consort De's reward.

Sherry selected two princesses to enter the manor.

What a coincidence! One is a low-end version of the Shushu Gioro clan, and the other is a low-end version of the Irgen Gioro clan.

Both of them were Manchus!

Ma Jia clan and Dai Jia clan.

Shushu Jueluo had just seen the sunlight, and at the same time she saw the young and beautiful flower buds.

The jealousy in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

Sherry's demeanor is becoming increasingly ethereal and otherworldly.

Yinzhen avoided her, which gave her some peace and quiet.

However, Yinzhen probably couldn't get over that mental hurdle, so Xue Li knew that something evil had entered her courtyard.

Every blade of grass and every tree was what caused her to die from exhaustion and weakness.

As he wished, Shirley began to report the illness and summon the imperial physician.

He occasionally felt dizzy and lightheaded, but he didn't take it seriously!

However, to avoid Yinzhen taking his anger out on her eldest sons, Xue Li had the nail in the front yard give him the "holy maiden drug".

Let him have as many children as he wants, and strive to have as many offspring as the imprisoned eldest son.

Occasionally, Sherry would go out to see the little canary.

The little canary was now keen to take the imperial examinations, and he felt that Sherry was not giving him a title because of his lowly status.

Even if he were stupid, he could tell that Sherry's demeanor was cultivated by a prominent family.

Sherry realized that the plot had fallen apart so badly that even her own parents wouldn't recognize her.

Li Wei wants to become an official; this has been on his mind for several years now.

She had no objections, and Li Wei was quite happy.

Li Wei, who went back to study, was unaware that someone had already taken his place.

Yinwu was cautious and timid, probably because he was also implicated in the Crown Prince's predicament.

He has become even calmer now.

He only showed a bit of temper when facing Sherry.

After all, Sherry especially liked to tease him.

The little brother often has red ears and looks aggrieved like a little puppy.

Just as Shirley was about to leave after teasing him, Yinwu suggested that he wanted to discuss a collaboration with them.

It means that his mother's family background was not prominent.

He needs to build up his wealth, because regardless of whether he supports the deposed crown prince or not, he is now tied to him.

Having witnessed the Crown Prince's unpredictable moods over the years, he understood that the position was not easy to hold.

They also intentionally distanced themselves.

Sherry readily agreed.

However, he still lives in the Prince's residence.

They are allowed to leave the palace occasionally.

Every time Sherry entered the palace, she would run into him eight out of ten times.

The young boy blushed as he greeted her, doing nothing but looking at her with his eyes still wet.

The young boy's cheeks would always flush red from Shirley's hesitant, unspoken gaze.

Shirley had no idea what he was thinking.

She actually quite enjoyed this ambiguous feeling.

Soon it would be the 48th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1709).

Emperor Kangxi issued an edict to his officials, clearly stating that he would reinstate Yinreng as the crown prince.
