"Since you don't want to do it, don't force yourself. The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince now, but who knows if he will still be the Crown Prince in the future?

Mother wants to ask you, do you have any thoughts about that position? It's not that Mother is thinking about that position, but the Crown Prince is unkind and the Emperor will depose him sooner or later.

If you have an idea for that position, I will help you get it. If not..."

"Yes, my son is favored by the Emperor, and has long been a thorn in the eyes and flesh of his brothers. In addition, he has four younger brothers who are born of the same mother. Even if not for himself, he will compete with them for mother.

Mother, I know you have no interest in the position of Queen, but I cannot allow someone else to take the throne and not only suppress you but also harm my younger brothers.

Including the tenth and eleventh brothers, my son now has six brothers to protect. What does this mean? It means that my son has the support of at least six brothers. How can the others give my son and you a good ending?"

Mu Sili nodded seriously. Isn't that the truth? She won't give others the opportunity to suppress her.

"Mother, I think the position of Queen is pretty good. Why don't you let me experience it?"

Yinqi thought Mu Sili would refuse, but she directly said she wanted to try it, which made him not know how to respond.

"Mother, I will do my best."

Inside Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince finally lost his patience after hearing Kangxi call Yinqi over again.

"How can this be? I am the Crown Prince, the legitimate son. I am the one who has the right to frequently enter and leave the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Why should Yinqi, a bastard's son, have the right?"

"Your Highness, calm down. You are the crown prince, the heir apparent. No matter how much the emperor loves the fifth prince, he will never surpass you. What you should show now is brotherly love, not jealousy of your brother's favor.

The Emperor has always advocated brotherly love and respect for each other, and what he likes most is the scene of you and the other princes getting along harmoniously. Now is an extraordinary period, and you must not let the Emperor down.

I heard that you were having an affair with a maid from the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Is that true?"

Soetu's sudden remark made the prince's face look unnatural.

What did Uncle mean? I just exchanged a few words with that little palace maid, how could it be considered as a passionate affair with her?

"Uncle, please don't listen to nonsense. I'm not that kind of person. Besides, even if I really had something with that palace maid, what does it matter?

I am the crown prince, and the women in this palace are my women. Even if I touch them, the emperor won't say anything. He might even give them to me as a reward.

Uncle, you're too worried, and I think you've become a lot less courageous. Don't worry, the Emperor won't blame me."

The prince was very confident. He felt that even if Kangxi had some preference for Yinqi, he would never go beyond him, the prince, so he was very casual about what he did.

Soetu also thought this was true, so he stopped paying too much attention to the matter.

"What are your thoughts now, Your Highness?"

"Thoughts? I've been the Crown Prince for nearly twenty years. It's time for a change of role. It's a pity that the Emperor is in such good health, otherwise I would have been the heir to the throne by now."

Soetu was shocked at first, but then he felt that what the prince said made sense. He had indeed been the prince for many years and it was time for a change.

"Your Highness should know that I wholeheartedly support you, but this matter is of great importance and requires long-term consideration."

The prince nodded, agreeing with Soetu's words

, so the two of them discussed together in Yuqing Palace how to ascend to the throne.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

"Liang Jiugong, how long has Suo'etu been in Yuqing Palace?"

"Your Majesty, it's already been two hours."

"Two hours? Even if it's dinner time, it's almost time. I didn't realize they had so much to talk about.

Send someone to monitor Yuqing Palace and Suo'etu. I want to know what they said or what they are planning to do."

"yes."

Soetu left the palace when the palace gates were locked. There was a determination on his face, as if he had already seen the day when the prince would ascend the throne and he would become the king's uncle.

When Kangxi learned of the Crown Prince and Soetu's plan, he sneered and said that even if they wanted to usurp the throne, it would depend on whether they had the ability to do so.

A month later, Soetu entered the palace again and went to Yuqing Palace.

"Your Highness, I am ready."

After hearing what Soetu said, the prince hesitated. Their move was to force the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives. He admitted that he was a little scared.

"Your Highness, the throne is right in front of you. Are you really willing to give it up like this? Will you regret it only if you watch the Fifth Prince take your place?"

He originally wanted to give up, but the prince was successfully stimulated by Soetu's words.

He was already dissatisfied with Yinqi, and when he heard this, he became furious. Anyone who dared to compete with him for Kangxi's favor must be prepared to die.

"Just do as Uncle says. However, Concubine Yi's lineage is still a disaster. Uncle, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The most direct way to ruin a person is to make people suspicious of her. As long as I spread the rumor that Concubine Yi covets the position of Empress, the Emperor will definitely suspect her.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will explode sooner or later. No matter how much the emperor likes her, once there is a gap, she will fall out of favor soon.

As for the Fifth Prince, that's even simpler. I think he's been doted on by the Emperor and has become so overwhelmed by his affections that he might be thinking about your position.

Do you think that if the emperor knew that he had rebellious intentions, would he still favor him as much as before?

The other princes are still young, you can completely ignore them."

Soetu was a little proud. He thought this method was very good. If he had not been worried about being discovered by others, he would have wanted to arrange a lover for Mu Sili.

The prince always felt that something was wrong, but Soetu's confident look was so convincing that he could not find any unreasonableness in it, so he agreed with Soetu's opinion.

"Just do as Uncle says. I'll have to trouble you to arrange this matter personally. I only trust you, Uncle. I hope you won't let me down."

"Your Highness, rest assured. I will live up to your expectations and see this matter through."

"Uncle, I don't have much patience left. Everything in this palace belongs to me. I won't allow anyone to covet it. Please get this done as soon as possible so that I can ascend to the throne soon."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't let you down."

Neither of them expected that these words were heard by Kangxi's people, who were still dreaming happily.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

"Want to spread rumors that Concubine Yi coveted the position of Empress? How foolish! If she had such thoughts, I would have made her Empress two years ago. Why would I wait until today?

And Yinqi, if he wasn't so intelligent, even more so than the Crown Prince, how could I have such a high opinion of him?"
