After the prince finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his body and pointed it directly at Kangxi.

Kangxi was well prepared. Although he didn't know how the prince would force the emperor to abdicate, it seemed that he would make him exchange the throne for his life.

"Take it."

The prince knew this would be the result as early as when he came to the Qianqing Palace. He was born a prince and would not let Kangxi abolish his position as prince.

"Your Majesty, you want to dethrone me as the Crown Prince and make Yinqi the Crown Prince instead. What a pity! I will be the Crown Prince until my death. If you want to dethrone me as the Crown Prince, wait for my next life."

There was a "whoosh" sound, which was the sound of the dagger entering the body.

"presumptuous!"

Kangxi was so angry that he shouted "How dare you!" but it was too late. The prince closed his eyes with a smug yet sad smile.

He did not ask Kangxi to give him the position of crown prince, but if Kangxi wanted to take it back, it would depend on whether he was willing to return it.

After all, he had lost the emperor's favor, so even though the prince died, he was still deposed.

Since the Crown Princess opposed the Crown Prince's behavior from beginning to end, Kangxi did not make things difficult for her.

After deposing her from the position of Crown Princess, he imprisoned them all in Baoding. Since he had said that he would send the Crown Prince there, he would naturally do it.

Although the prince was dead, he had a son, so it was acceptable to let his son be imprisoned in his father's place.

The crown prince was gone, and the once prominent Hesheli clan was also gone. The throne of the Eastern Palace was left vacant, which made Yinzhen and Yinsi start to have ideas again.

However, Kangxi only liked Yinqi. In the following years, after seeing that Yinzhen and Yinsi were having a great time, Kangxi directly announced in the court that Yinqi would be the crown prince.

"My fifth son is both virtuous and talented, and is the perfect choice for the crown prince. From today on, the fifth prince, Yinqi, will be appointed crown prince.

The day of my death will be the day the new emperor ascends the throne. I hope that you, my dear ministers, will diligently assist the new emperor and not give me the opportunity to climb out of my grave and personally settle accounts with the Second Class."

"We, your servants, will faithfully obey His Majesty's orders and will diligently assist the Crown Prince. We will never have second thoughts."

Kangxi made Yinqi the crown prince in this way. Yinzhen felt aggrieved. He was kicked out before he even started to fight. Kangxi really didn't take his son seriously.

Yinsi, who also had ideas about the position of crown prince, was even more furious. He was still forming cliques and factions in the previous two days, firmly believing that he would be the next crown prince, but he was slapped hard in the face by Kangxi.

This slap in the face completely destroyed his rationality. He felt that Kangxi made Yinqi the crown prince entirely for the sake of Mu Sili.

He even suspected that it was Mu Sili who whispered in Kangxi's ear, so Kangxi made Yinqi the crown prince. So, no matter where he was at the moment, he directly vented his dissatisfaction.

"Isn't this move by Your Majesty a bit biased? Although my fifth brother is excellent, my son believes he is no worse than him, and even better than him. Why would you choose my fifth brother over your son?

Could it be true, as the outside world has said, that it was your noble mother who whispered in your ear and that is why you made your fifth brother the crown prince?

If this is true, then the Emperor is too hurtful. Even if the Fifth Brother really ascends the throne, how many people will truly obey him?"

"I serve my fifth brother."

"So do you."

Yinzhi and Yinzhi suddenly spoke out in support of Yinqi, not because they valued Yinqi, but because they knew how to adapt to the times. Now they are refuting Kangxi. Are they waiting to become the next prince to be imprisoned?

Yinyou silently took a step forward. Obviously, he also supported Yinqi.

"Eighth brother, you said no one truly obeys me, but look, aren't the eldest, third, and seventh brothers against it?

Sometimes I am quite curious about who gave you the confidence to think that the emperor would pass the throne of crown prince to you.

Now I know that your blind confidence has made you lose the direction to discern the truth. If you had thought a little more, you would have known that the people you had won over before were all unreliable.

How many of the people you've used all your wealth to win over are truly on your side? Seeing that you don't have anything to buy them off, I'm afraid they'll abandon you.

I remember that Concubine Liang still lives in the Yanxi Palace, right? I wonder if Mother Hui knows that Concubine Liang has been secretly encouraging you to covet the throne."

When Yinsi heard this, his eyes flashed. It was his mother who taught him. His mother was so smart, how could she teach him the wrong things?

Yinzhi's face immediately turned black. If his mother knew that Concubine Liang was secretly doing these things that were insincere but disobeyed, she would have punished Yinsi long ago. How could she give him the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction in front of the hall now?

"All my sons have the opportunity to be appointed crown prince, but you are the only one who has not. How can a prince born to a lowly maid in the Xinzheku be compared with other princes?"

No one expected Kangxi to say such a thing, and Yinsi collapsed to the ground.

Kangxi was really cruel. He actually said that he was the son of a lowly maid in the Xinzheku. This made him lose all his dignity and face.

A rebellious mentality also came up. Anyway, he no longer had the qualifications to inherit the throne, so he might as well let it all out and vent his dissatisfaction.

"Has the Emperor known now that his son is the son of a lowly servant from the Xinzheku? Why didn't he consider that she was from the Xinzheku when he favored my mother earlier?

The emperor was just attracted by her beauty, why did he insult his son with these words?

My son is the son of a lowly maid in the Xinzheku. Who are you, a person who committed adultery with a lowly maid in the Xinzheku?"

"How dare you! Come, drag this wicked boy away and lock him up in the Imperial Clan House. I don't have a son who is so disrespectful to his father and the emperor. From this day forward, Eighth Prince Yinsi will be demoted to a commoner and will never be allowed to regain his yellow belt status."

When Yinsi was imprisoned in the clan house, he realized the consequences of speaking too quickly. As soon as he entered, he started shouting that he was wrong, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.

Liang Guiren, who was implicated by him, was also tortured by Hui Fei and sent to the cold palace at Kangxi's request. The Yanx Palace could not tolerate anyone with ulterior motives.

Yikun Palace.

"Mother, Fifth Brother is so majestic today. He has become the Crown Prince and will be the Emperor someday. Can my son become a Prince?"

Mu Sili rolled her eyes at Yinzhen, who was looking expectant. "What about the title of Prince? Why would you be given the title of Prince if you haven't done anything?" She thought it was hard to even get the title of a County Prince.

"Mother sees that you have a good talent for business. Why don't you go to the Ministry of Revenue and help your father with the accounts? Who knows, if you make some achievements, you might even be crowned a prince when your fifth brother ascends the throne."

Yinzhen's headache hit him the moment he heard he was about to go to the Ministry of Revenue. Could he not go? He was suited to making money by doing business all over the world, not to being trapped in the Ministry of Revenue and exhausting all his energy just to save a little money.

"Mother, didn't you say you loved me the most? I really don't want to work in the six ministries, but I also want the title of prince.

How about this, my son donates one million taels of silver to the national treasury every year to fill it up, just to exchange for a princely title, not an iron-hat prince, but just an ordinary one, what do you think?"
