The prince felt afraid for the first time. No wonder Kangxi had scolded him before. This was the reason.

Blame him for wanting to give birth to the eldest prince before Yinzhi, and forgetting that the ancestor had just died and was still in the mourning period. These behaviors were extremely disrespectful.

Now that both Li Jia and Liu Jia are pregnant, the news may have spread. What should we do now?

Seeing his pale face, Yinzhen sighed helplessly.

"Second brother, the most important thing now is to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and apologize. You are wrong in this matter. I don't think the emperor will let those two princesses go."

"No! They are pregnant with my children, how could I possibly let the Emperor touch them?

What if they are pregnant with a prince? That would be the emperor’s eldest grandson!

The Emperor's father is eager to have his eldest grandson, and I am doing this to fulfill his wish. The Emperor cannot blame me!"

"Second brother, can you first understand the seriousness of the matter? You can have another child, but if you lose the trust of the Emperor, can you still sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Prince?

Although the younger brother was young, he could see that his elder brother had ulterior motives. As the eldest prince, he must be coveting the position of crown prince.

"Once this matter becomes public knowledge, do you think you can still keep your position as crown prince? Will the court officials support an unfilial person as the new emperor?"

Yinzhen's words were a heavy blow to the prince.

Yes, he is the crown prince. If he wants to keep his position, he must get rid of Li Jia and Liu Jia, and then go to the Qianqing Palace to apologize.

Kangxi loved him, and as long as he took the initiative to admit his mistakes, Kangxi would forgive him.

As for Li Jia and Liu Jia, the only thing they could do was to not be father and son because of the children in their unborn children.

After the prince figured it out, he immediately sent someone to deal with the two men.

To him, being the eldest prince is important, but being the crown prince is more important.

After achieving his goal, Yinzhen wanted to return to Chengqian Palace to accompany the Imperial Noble Consort, but the Crown Prince finally resented him, so he dragged him to Qianqing Palace.

He knew that Yinzhen was helping him, but that was the eldest grandson he had been looking forward to for a long time, and he was really upset that he was executed by him.

Yinzhen didn't notice what he was thinking. He thought he wanted to drag him to beg for mercy, so he followed him to the Ganqing Palace without complaint.

"Don't be afraid, second brother. As long as you admit your mistake to the emperor, he will forgive you."

"I know. I will remember what happened today, Fourth Brother. I will repay your kindness in the future."

"You're too polite, brother. This is what a younger brother should do."

The reason why Yinzhen did this was simply because he wanted to be able to become a prince when the crown prince ascended the throne in the future.

He never thought that despite his good intentions in helping the prince, the prince would harbor a grudge against him after receiving his help.

In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi sighed after learning that the prince had listened to Yinzhen and dealt with the two women.

"He's really cruel. He killed the child he had been waiting for for so long. I guess his heart is still aching.

And Yinzhen, he meant well but ended up doing something bad. I'm afraid the Crown Prince has already held a grudge against him.

Otherwise, why would he bring the prince along when he comes to ask for forgiveness? Wouldn't that make outsiders think that Yinzhen knew about his actions?"

Liang Jiugong did not interrupt. After all, the prince was Kangxi's son. Whether he was good or bad, it was Kangxi's turn to decide. It was not up to him, a servant, to speak out.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince request an audience."

"Let them in."

"yes."

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."

"My son pays his respects to the Emperor."

Kangxi did not call them to stand up, but let them kneel on the ground while he continued to deal with memorials.

The prince knew that Kangxi was angry, so he didn't dare to say anything and could only kneel down obediently.

Yinzhen regretted coming with the prince, as he felt that Kangxi would vent his anger on him.

But he didn't dare to say anything now and could only kneel down obediently. As long as he didn't say anything, Kangxi would not blame him.

A quarter of an hour later, Yinxiang arrived.

"My son is paying his respects to the Emperor. What is the Emperor doing? Why are my second and fourth brothers kneeling on the ground?"

Seeing Yinxiang coming, Kangxi no longer asked the two to kneel.

"Everyone, get up. Thirteen, come here. Have you finished the homework I asked you to do yesterday?"

"Replying to the Emperor, my son has completed it."

"Very good, Liang Jiugong, take the Thirteenth Prince to the back to read. I will go over to accompany him after I finish my business."

"yes."

The prince watched this scene with gritted teeth. When did the emperor treat Yinxiang so well?

It’s not like Kangxi had never been nice to Yinxiang before, but he had never been like this before, actually ignoring him, the crown prince, and talking to Yinxiang.

And how come he didn't know that the Emperor's father was personally teaching Yinxiang? When did this start, and why didn't anyone tell him?

"Prince, tell me, do you know your mistake?"

"Father, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed and that's why I did it.

I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me this time, considering that I have already dealt with Li Jia and Liu Jia who seduced me.

I promise that I will never make the same mistake again."

Yinzhen clearly saw some disappointment in Kangxi's eyes, and he lowered his head silently. At that moment, he suddenly felt that his position as crown prince was no longer stable.

"You are so cruel. They are carrying your children. Even if I am cruel, I cannot harm two pregnant women."

Kangxi's words stunned the prince. He looked at Kangxi blankly and then looked at Yinzhen, with disappointment and anger in his eyes.

It was Yinzhen. If Yinzhen hadn't said those words to him, he wouldn't have dealt with them.

Originally, the emperor's eldest grandson would come from his Yuqing Palace, but now, all hope is gone, he is so angry!

Unfortunately, this is the Palace of Heavenly Purity. No matter how angry he is, he dare not move a muscle.

"Father, this is all my fault. I was so indecisive that I fell into their trap. I would rather not have a child born from someone like that."

"Since you acknowledge your mistakes, I will confine you to Yuqing Palace for three months. During these three months, you must reflect on your mistakes and copy Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager to atone for your sins."

Although he was unwilling, Kangxi had obviously given him a light punishment. If he did not learn his lesson, it would not be just three months.

"Yes, I thank the Emperor, and I will take my leave."

Before leaving, the prince looked at Yinzhen again. He and Yinzhen were irreconcilable!

Only after the prince left the Palace of Heavenly Purity did Kangxi look at Yinzhen.

"Xiao Si, I know you have a kind heart and want to help the prince, but you have forgotten that the prince is no longer the prince he was a few years ago.

He's a serious person, and I'm afraid he's going to hold a grudge against you for what happened today. Do you regret it?"

"Father Your Majesty, I have no regrets. I just wanted to help my second brother out of trouble. If this were to get out, he would be reported to the imperial censors."

"I know. You just need to be more careful next time. By the way, the Imperial Concubine said she wants to find a wife for you. Do you have anyone you like?"
