"The second son's position as crown prince has been abolished. Father Huang, please don't bother with him. Just lock him up in the clan residence."

"That's right, Father Huang. Second brother is still our brother after all. Please forgive his gaffe."

Even Yinsi and others started to plead for the prince. In their view, this was not a plea, but a great opportunity to gain favor with Kangxi.

"There's no need for you to hypocritically plead for me. Even if I'm deposed, I'm still the legitimate son of a noble family. You can't compare to me."

"How dare you! You want to die? How could I possibly let you die? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If I really kill you, how can I still have the face to call myself a king and father?

Come, lock him up in the Imperial Clan House and hand him over to Prince Yu Fuquan for processing. Remember this: you are not allowed to visit him secretly."

"yes."

The prince laughed sarcastically, then looked at Yinzhen and left with the guards.

Kangxi had a headache. This was the good prince he had raised for many years, and it was all a debt from his previous life.

Yinzhi and others saw the look the prince gave Yinzhen. As expected, they had to get rid of Yinzhen first.

A person who clearly said that he would not participate in the fight for the throne suddenly became the legitimate son, and the prince placed high hopes on him. They had to be on guard.

So in the next month, Yinzhen encountered the assassins every day. At first he was angry, but later he was relieved.

They sent people to assassinate me one after another. Wasn't it because they were worried that I would snatch away the position of crown prince that was within their grasp?

What a pity. He had promised the prince and also promised Kangxi that he would not interfere with the position of prince. Kangxi clearly wanted to pass the throne to himself, so no matter how much they did, it would be redundant.

Yinzhen showed consideration for their brotherly love in public and did not mention the assassination attempt in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi knew that he had both righteousness and brotherhood in his heart, but it was really not good to be too sentimental.

"Fourth Brother, have you been constantly encountering assassination attempts lately? I don't want to hear your excuses. Tell me the truth. What are you really thinking?"

Yinzhen showed a helpless expression, as if he really didn't want to mention this matter.

Seeing this, Kangxi asked him to speak again, and he had to explain.

"Your Majesty, these are just petty quarrels between brothers. I was angry at first, but then I realized that if you don't attract jealousy, you are mediocre. Their actions actually reflect your excellence.

Anyway, they haven't hurt me, so let them be. I don't want to get too estranged with my brothers. If I take the throne, I will make good use of them to serve the Qing Dynasty."

Kangxi was speechless for a moment. He thought Yinzhen was just suppressing his dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't expect that this was not the case at all.

It was obvious that he had decided to enslave them harshly once the time came!

Well, his sons are all outstanding people with different opinions in different fields. Since he has chosen Yinzhen as his son, he should respect his decision.

"It's good that you have made up your mind, but now that I know about this, I will not allow them to continue to attack you.

I heard that Nian is about to give birth. There is unrest in the northwest. Let Nian Gengyao quell the rebellion. If he succeeds, I will give Nian a credit.

"She is indeed about to give birth. She is pregnant with twins. The imperial physician said that the birth will be premature. I came here today to discuss this with the Emperor.

I failed to discipline my wife properly, and she became a wicked person. I had already put her under house arrest, but I heard a piece of news yesterday that made me angry.

The reason why the Empress Dowager chose her as her son's wife was because she used medicine when she paid her respects to the Empress Dowager, which made the Empress Dowager like her even more.

If she hadn't ordered someone to drug Nian, intending to kill both Nian and Nian, I wouldn't have thought of investigating her. The Empress Dowager's increasingly serious condition was also related to this."

"What did you say!"

Kangxi was furious. Tong Jia was his cousin and his white moonlight. If he had not considered too much at the beginning, they would not have ended up like that.

He had already felt guilty about her early death, but now Yinzhen told him that her death was indirectly caused by the Ulanara family. How could he bear this?

Ulanara was Fei Yanggu's legitimate daughter, and Fei Yanggu was his brother who grew up with him. How could his daughter harm her?

Yes, it’s probably to be able to smoothly take the position of the Fourth Lady!

"It was I who harmed your Royal Mother and caused you to suffer for so many years. I always thought her death was caused by me, but I didn't expect it wasn't.

It’s a pity that she has been dead for so many years. Even if I know now that it was the Ulanara family who harmed her, it would be of no use.

But you want to become the new emperor. As long as Ulanara is alive, the position of empress will be hers. I will not allow it.

Fourth brother, I know you are sentimental about our old friendship, but I will never allow her to live. When you return, I will let people spread the news that Ulanara is seriously ill.

As for when to kill her, let's wait until after Nian gives birth. If she dies now, it will be bad for the reputation of the twins in Nian's belly."

"Your Highness... Your Highness understands. Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't let my emotions get the better of me. I'm nostalgic for the past, but she's now the murderer of my mother. I can't keep her around for too long."

Kangxi was satisfied. What Yinzhen meant was that even if he didn't take action, he would find a time to get rid of the Ulanara family.

"I will send someone to warn the boss and the others. Since the throne is destined to be handed over to you, I have decided to hand you a court that has been purged.

I don't expect you to be a wise ruler, but I hope that when you ascend the throne, you will consider your family ties and not harm your brothers."

What Kangxi hoped most in his life was that his sons could be friendly and respectful to each other, just like he and Fuquan got along.

But with more sons, there will naturally be more conflicts, just like the relationship between the prince and other people.

But Yinzhen is different. He has a somewhat cold personality, but he will definitely do what he promised, so he is very relieved.

"Father, I swear in the name of the Aisin-Gioro clan that I will never harm my brothers. However, if they commit suicide, I will punish them severely."

"I know, as long as you have this intention, please step back."

"yes."

As soon as Yinzhen left, Kangxi said something about the location of the screen. Did you hear it?

Standing behind the screen were Yinzhi and others. They arrived earlier than Yinzhen and had already been scolded by Kangxi.

They thought that their attempt to assassinate Yinzhen would make him angry and he would report them to Kangxi, but he didn't do so, which made them look petty.

And the most important thing is that they understood the conversation between Kangxi and him. Did Kangxi have already designated him as his heir?

Since it has been decided that Yinzhen is the heir, no matter how much they do, it will seem redundant.
