"Father Emperor, I hope you can understand one thing. You are the Son of Heaven, and I am the Crown Prince. They are just a bunch of slaves. If they are gone, they are gone. Do you think their lives can be compared to mine?"

"What do you mean?"

"Of course their lives are worthless. I can kill them if I want to. I don't need to worry about anything else. You know I'm not a good person."

Kangxi always felt that he was being threatened. Somehow, he suddenly felt that if someone wanted to force the emperor to abdicate, that person must be the crown prince.

It was ridiculous. They were obviously father and son, so how did it end up like this? He had really wanted to train him to be the crown prince at the beginning, but now it seemed that he really had to change him, otherwise he would suffer sooner or later.

If the prince really brings people to force the emperor to abdicate one day, he will definitely make him pay the price. The position of the prince is not static. If he can make him the prince, he can also depose him and make someone else the prince.

"Go back to Yuqing Palace and reflect on your mistakes. Do not leave Yuqing Palace without my permission, or I will make you suffer."

The prince left the Qianqing Palace with a grim expression. They wouldn't let him leave the Yuqing Palace, right? It wasn't like he didn't have other people to use. As long as Yinzhen was still around, he could rely on him to get news from outside.

The news that the prince was under house arrest spread throughout the court and the harem in an instant. No one expected that Kangxi would suddenly put the prince under house arrest. It was obvious that he loved the prince the most. Who could have thought that he would put the prince under house arrest?

In the Yanx Palace, Yinzhi was so happy that he danced with joy. He had come to talk to his mother about the future, but who would have thought that he would hear the news that the prince was under house arrest.

He could not become the crown prince, but he felt happy when the crown prince was not in a good situation. It was as if he had done this himself. How cool it was!

"Mother, I won't be able to take that position anymore. Please don't talk nonsense anymore. The position of crown prince is not mine.

If you have that time, you might as well think about who you want to support to compete for the position of crown prince. This way, you can protect both yourself and your son."

What else could Concubine Hui say? Now that things had come to this, she could only oblige him. After all, her original intention was to protect him, and as long as he was fine, that was all that mattered.

It’s such a pity that the position of crown prince is something that is within reach, so why is it so difficult?

"Mother knows. Don't worry. Mother won't force you to fight for the position of Crown Prince anymore. All Mother wants is for you to be safe."

"Thank you, mother, for your consideration. It's because I didn't work hard enough that I left you disappointed."

"You can't say that. If you really dethrone the Crown Prince, then Mother will be the future Queen Mother. In the end, Mother is the one who has taken advantage. You are right."

The corners of Yinzhi's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that what he had said to Yinsi at that time was correct. He now really supported him to take the throne.

After all, he is a prince of the Yanx Palace. If he ascends to the throne, it should be no problem for his mother to become the empress dowager since she is his adoptive mother, right?

No matter what, for the sake of my mother, I will force him to take the position.

Yinsi had no idea that Yinzhi was determined to force him to seize the throne. He felt that the most important thing now was to move out of the palace and take charge of the household. He could deal with the future later, and now was not the time to reveal his ambitions.

"Master, how likely do you think it is that the Emperor will let us leave the palace?"

"It's not big, but I will fight for it. Li'er, don't worry. I said I would protect you and I will definitely protect you. I want to sit in that position, and you have to accompany me.

"You and I, as a couple, will work together to overcome all difficulties and ascend to the throne. And most importantly, you are pregnant with my child, so I must make every effort, even for my sake."

"Then I'll trouble you to plan for us mother and son. Master, you will definitely get what you want."

He doesn't care whether he gets what he wants or not. What he cares about is that his wife and children are by his side and support all his decisions. As long as they are by his side, he should do whatever he wants.

After the prince was under house arrest for a week, Yinzhen could no longer sit still. He also had ideas about the position of prince, but he was the prince's man on the surface, so he decided to go to Yuqing Palace to see the prince.

He thought he would gain more trust from the prince this time, but he didn't expect that the prince would hit him on the forehead with a teacup as soon as he entered.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt murderous towards the prince. After all, a person with an impaired body could not inherit the throne. If the prince hit his head, he would completely lose the chance to seize the throne.

"What are you doing, brother? I came here to see if you need help. Do you really want to hit my face?"

The prince sneered. He almost believed that Yinzhen really supported him. If he hadn't received a rumor two days ago that Yinzhen was insincere towards him, he would have almost entrusted his life and property to him.

"Fourth Brother, I trusted you so much, but I didn't expect that I was wrong. Compared to my eldest brother, you are the real villain."

Yinzhen was puzzled. What did he mean by this? Could it be that he knew his ambitions? That shouldn't be the case. He hadn't told anyone else, so how could he know his thoughts?

"Did you misunderstand me because of some rumors I heard? I only care about you. How could I possibly do something to let you down?"

The prince just looked at him coldly. He was so shameless. He dared to say so only when there was solid evidence. I didn't expect that he never thought of admitting it at all.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't admit it. What he wants is never his recognition, but an attitude of always bowing his head in front of him.

"I don't want to waste my time talking to you. Why, are you here to see if I'm depressed because of the Emperor's confinement? What a pity, I'm fine."

"Second brother, you really misunderstood me. How dare I have such thoughts? Don't worry, I will ask the emperor to release you. You are the crown prince. How can you be confined to Yuqing Palace for such a long time?"

It's just pretense, but at least he is still useful. If the ban can be lifted with his help, he will not touch him for the time being, otherwise he will definitely take his life.

As someone who belongs to him, I am still thinking about his position. It would be a shame to myself if I don't want to take his life.

"Then I'll be waiting. Please don't let me down."

"Then I'll go for a walk first. Second brother, just wait. I'll rescue you sooner or later."

The prince did not keep him, but instead sent a letter to Soetu after he left.

Everything that happened today made him realize that there was no one in the palace who was trustworthy. If he wanted to stand out, he could only force the emperor to abdicate.

After receiving his letter, Soetu began to prepare. It is better to take a gamble than to sit and wait for death.

Yinsi has been busy leaving the palace recently. To him, the palace is a place of right and wrong at this time, and leaving the palace is the best choice.
