I think the Emperor is treating me like this to pave the way for Yin? How can this be possible? I was born a prince, no one else can compare.

Even if Yin was now pleasing him more and more, so what? He was the crown prince, and the crown prince could not be deposed at will.

As long as you hold on and don't let others find out your flaws, they won't be able to do anything to you.

On the contrary, he could take this opportunity to appear pitiful in front of Kangxi, and it would be even better if he could arouse Kangxi's father-son affection for him.

"But it's up to Your Majesty to decide. I have a clear conscience. I only hope Your Majesty can clear my name. I never kill innocent people."

It would have been better if this last sentence hadn't been said, because once it was said, everyone started talking again.

The officials of the Niohuru clan in the court remained on the sidelines regarding their discussions.

Mu Sili had sent someone to tell them not to interfere rashly with the remarks about the prince in the court and just wait and see.

They all listened to advice, and since Mu Sili was the queen, they naturally had to listen to him. Therefore, no matter what others said, even when asking for their opinions, they never interrupted.

After the court was dismissed, the prince returned to Yuqing Palace angrily, followed by Yinzhen.

Seeing that the prince's anger could hardly be concealed, Yinzhen began to comfort him, saying nothing more than words like "don't be afraid", but the prince did not take it to heart.

However, this did remind the prince that the reason he had won over Yinzhen was to have him take the blame one day.

I thought it would never be used, but I didn't expect it to be really used. It seems that I can only let Yinzhen take the blame for me, otherwise I will be sorry for my cultivation of him over the years.

When Yinzhen learned of his thoughts, his first reaction was that the prince must be a fool, how could he possibly take the blame for him?

And even if he really said that this was his idea, so what? All the ministers knew about it, so who would believe that it was his problem?

But since the prince said so, he might as well take advantage of it. What if Kangxi feels sorry for him being used by the prince?

"Don't worry, second brother. I'll take responsibility for this matter and will never involve you. As long as you're well, I'll get out one day."

"I'm sorry, fourth brother. Don't worry, when I take the throne, I will definitely give you power above everyone else."

Yinzhen immediately showed an expression of being touched. Second to none and above ten thousand people? I don’t care about that. What I want is the supreme position.

Soon, what the prince had done was exposed, and Yinzhen took the blame according to his request, but unfortunately no one believed it.

"I'm truly moved by the brotherhood between you two. Since the fourth brother has acknowledged it, let's just settle this matter. Come, take him away and lock him up in the clan house."

When these words were spoken, the prince was stunned, and Yinzhen was also stunned. He just wanted Kangxi to feel sorry for him, but he didn't really want to go to jail.

Now that he was in the clan house, who knew when he would be able to get out? If the situation was already decided by the time he got out, he would be at a huge loss.

However, before he could react, the person was taken away. When he came to his senses, they had already been at the clan residence for some time.

"The Crown Prince is not disciplined and has neglected his duties. He will be confined to Yuqing Palace. I hope you can think carefully about what you should and should not do. If there is nothing else, we can disperse."

Originally, he was happy after Yinzhen stood up and took the blame for himself, thinking that Kangxi would not hold on to the matter.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi had already determined that Yinzhen had done it on purpose, and even though Yinzhen was imprisoned in the clan house, he still kept him under house arrest.

Since the crown prince is under house arrest, he will have no chance to know the news from the palace.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Soetu, hoping that Soetu would plead for him, but Soetu was sweating profusely at the moment and did not dare to open his mouth to plead for him.

Just now, he received a note. Although he didn't know who threw it to him, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and read the contents.

When he saw the clear description of the evil things that the Hesheli clan had done over the years, he panicked.

Now he is in a situation where he can't even protect himself, so how can he have the time to care about the prince's affairs?

After all, if something goes wrong, the entire Hesheli clan will be destroyed, but the prince is different. He is still the son of Kangxi. No matter how angry Kangxi is, he will not take his life.

It's nothing more than a little anger. Just bear with it and it will pass. Don't take it too seriously.

"Suo Etu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're having a heart attack? Your Majesty, Lord Suo seems ill. Should we send for the imperial physician to see him?"

The note was originally sent to Soetu by someone arranged by Kangxi, so he naturally knew why he reacted that way.

One look at his expression revealed that the information on the note was true. In that case, there was no need for Soetu to remain alive, lest he lead the prince further astray.

Even though he had already planned to depose the crown prince, he still had to find a reason why the crown prince turned bad. Since Soetu happened to be the one, it would be best for him to take the blame.

As for the prince...

Yinzhen is only thirteen years old, so let’s wait two years. After Yinzhen gets married, we can deal with the prince’s affairs.

A flash of disappointment flashed across Kangxi's eyes. The prince probably didn't know that he had already known about his secret possession of the dragon robe. Otherwise, why would he dare to secretly wear the dragon robe these days?

Privately keeping the dragon robe is a serious crime. Even if he is the crown prince, he has to pay the price for it, and this price is losing the position of crown prince, or in other words, losing the identity of a prince.

Yinzhen was imprisoned in the Clan House. He kept waiting for the prince to send someone to explain to him why he was directly imprisoned in the Clan House.

Unexpectedly, a month had passed and he still hadn't received any news from the prince. He couldn't help laughing.

"I always thought I was the one fishing, but I didn't expect to be the one being fished out. The prince is really good at tricking me into willingly taking the blame for him."

He knew that the prince had secretly kept the dragon robe. Since the prince was so unkind and did nothing after he had him imprisoned in the clan house, don't blame him for being cruel and exposing him.

Yinzhen wanted to see Kangxi, but Kangxi didn't want to see him now. After all, Yinzhen was not fully grown yet, so it would be better to wait two years.

In the following days, the prince behaved much better, and Yinzhen was also studying the art of governing the country intensively.

In Kunning Palace, Kangxi was very proud and praised Yinzhen with Mu Sili.

"You are indeed worthy of being the son I raised. You please me in every way. Don't accuse me of favoring Xiao Shi. I am also partial to Shi Yi and Unashi.

I've made things difficult for him over the years. I wanted to train him to be my successor, but I've made him endure so much suffering for no reason."

"Your Majesty, what did you just say? Xiao Shi was wronged? How could I not know? Who was so bold as to let him suffer injustice? I will go and see him."
