"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. I was the one who plotted to murder the Crown Prince. However, this idea was not mine, but was suggested by Xiao Si.

If he hadn't given me the idea that after the Crown Prince passed away, he could become the new Crown Prince by relying on his relationship with the Crown Princess, I wouldn't have been so obsessed as to do such a thing.

He is my son, and I don't want to drag him into this trouble. But he did something wrong and deserves to be punished. I can't bear to see him continue making mistakes.

How do you think I got that jade pendant? He left it in Yonghe Palace on purpose. I didn't know why before, but now I understand. He wanted to clear himself of the charges."

Kangxi frowned and looked at Concubine De, thinking that maybe what she said was true and it was really possible that Yinzhen did it.

Is the position of crown prince so tempting that he can even plot against his own mother?

"What do you want to say?"

Yinzhen's face was extremely ugly at this time. He never thought that Concubine De would admit the charges. Not only that, but she also exposed his ambition.

He knew very well what kind of person the Emperor was. If he knew that he had killed his brothers in order to seize the throne, his life would be over.

"What can he say? The emperor knows what kind of character he has. He is probably thinking of how to put the blame on me.

I admit that my skills are inferior to others. I have no objection to you beating or punishing me, but I hope you will handle it impartially, otherwise I will not be content even in the cold palace."

Kangxi did not respond, but looked at Yinzhen. He wanted to see what he would say.

The prince watched this farce as if he were watching a play. There was irrefutable evidence, but the emperor did not order the punishment of Yinzhen. Could it be that he really wanted to pass the throne to him?

It was really good. He was almost killed, but he didn't say a word. Even with the conclusive evidence, he couldn't bear to touch Yinzhen. It seems that his son was not that important in his heart.

"Your Majesty, are you not going to give me an explanation? If I hadn't been so cautious, I'm afraid that this would be my corpse lying on the ground right now.

I remembered what you said, so I didn't kill this dog slave. But despite the irrefutable evidence, you remained indifferent, and I am very disappointed."

"When did I ever say I would protect Xiao Si? You are the Crown Prince, so you should be more magnanimous. Since the evidence is conclusive, then take Yinzhen to prison and await his punishment.

As for Consort De, this matter was caused by her. Considering that she gave birth to my children, I will banish her to the cold palace and let her fend for herself."

After all, they still have several children. If she is demoted to a commoner, they will lose face. For their sake, I will not issue an order to depose her.

The prince didn't expect that he would have to protect Concubine De at this time, and for a moment he was filled with hatred towards Concubine De.

She wanted to murder him, the crown prince, but she didn't expect that the emperor was willing to spare her life. It was a pity that he didn't agree.

Once she is sent to the cold palace, he will immediately order someone to kill her. He wants to see whether the emperor will still protect her after she dies.

"It's a good thing for Concubine De that she wasn't deposed despite being banished to the cold palace. This shows she still has a chance of escaping. As for Yinzhen, that wicked son is not within her consideration."

"I accept the punishment and thank Your Majesty for not killing me. I will reflect on my mistakes in the cold palace."

Kangxi stopped talking and left Yuqing Palace with his men. Although he did not say what he would do to the prince, everyone knew clearly that the prince would lose power sooner or later.

"Father Emperor, what happened today is truly bizarre. Do you really think Fourth Brother did it?"

"You are still too kind. He really did it. Can't you see? He is eager to drag Concubine De down to hell."

Yinsi was silent. He just asked casually, "Aren't they mother and son? Why did it come to this?"

"I know you have a kind heart, and I will leave the kingdom to you from now on..."

"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? The kingdom belongs to my second brother, and I dare not covet it. Please don't drag me down with you. I want to be a wise king. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave."

Kangxi looked at Yinsi who ran away in a daze. Is he stupid? The throne has been offered to him, but he still runs away?

Liang Jiugong almost laughed out loud at this scene. This was the first time he saw the emperor being humiliated. It was so cool.

"Liang Jiugong, is this funny? I suddenly feel that everything about you is not pleasing to the eye. Why don't you stay in Xinzheku for a few days? It will teach you a lesson."

"Your Majesty, calm down. I didn't do anything just now. You can't torment me just because you are unhappy. I will feel wronged."

"Are you feeling wronged? I think you're more like gloating than enjoying my misfortune. Tell me, how can I get Xiao Ba to agree to inherit my throne?"

"This may be a bit difficult. I can see that he regards the palace as a scourge and I'm afraid he won't agree. How about you try another direction?"

Kangxi was puzzled. What other direction could he try?

No, how could he forget his daughter-in-law Mu Sili? He didn't believe that if Yinsi could refuse the throne, she could also refuse it.

"You have a point, Mrs. Xuanba, I have something to say to her."

"yes."

Mu Sili was still confused when she came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, because when Liang Jiugong went to announce the decree, he told her that her good fortune had arrived. She was a little confused. What good fortune had arrived?

Yinsi didn't become the crown prince and sit on the throne, so how did her blessing come? Even if it really came, it would have to wait until the child in her belly was born. Why did they say this for no reason?

"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Emperor."

"Xiao Ba Fu Jin has arrived. Please take a seat. I called you here today to discuss something with you. What do you think of Xiao Ba Fu Jin?"

"Of course, the master is very good. Why would the emperor ask this? Could it be that something happened to the master?"

"No, why would you think so? I just think he's quite suitable, so I asked you to persuade him. First, tell me, do you want to become the mother of a country?"

Mu Sili understood that Yinsi was not getting a response so he was going to start with her. However, she and Yinsi were of the same mind, so how could she possibly hold him back?

"What does your Majesty mean by this? I guarantee that I have no improper desires, let alone coveting the position of Crown Prince. Please believe me. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

If I have any thoughts on the succession, how could I remain indifferent? You cannot listen to others' attempts to sow misunderstandings about me, or I will be sad and upset."

Kangxi didn't know what to say for a moment. This was his good daughter-in-law, but she actually misunderstood him. He was so sad.

But now he only has his eyes on Yinsi. If he cannot inherit the throne, does he really have to let the crown prince take the throne?

This won't work. If the crown prince takes the throne, countless innocent people will die, and even his sons won't live to see the next day. Therefore, Yinsi is the most suitable person.
