"But it's up to the Emperor to decide. My mother...she never considered her son her own. He knew that a long time ago and has lost faith in her. I'm sure she's happy that his name was changed to someone else's.

If my son could become the Empress Dowager's true son, the Empress Dowager's spirit in heaven would surely rest in peace. Father Huang, my son really misses the Empress Dowager."

Kangxi rolled his eyes at him. Since he said that, it meant that he was going to record him under the name of Empress Xiaoyi. He didn't even hear it, and all his efforts were in vain.

But his words also indirectly show that his feelings for Empress Xiaoyi were real, and he really wanted to be a loving mother and a filial son with her. It's a pity that Empress Xiaoyi had passed away long ago, otherwise she would have been very happy.

"I know you miss your Royal Mother. To be honest, I miss her too. Without her by my side in the palace these years, I've actually been very lonely."

Yinzhen did not respond to Kangxi's words. Forgive him for being so rude, but he really didn't see how Kangxi was lonely. But since he had said so, it would be inappropriate for him as his son to ruin his words, so he decided to leave.

Kangxi thought he would receive a wave of care from his son, but he was met with loneliness, as Yinzhen ran away.

"Thank goodness I was thinking about him wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect this bastard to not only not say a word of comfort but also run away. I suddenly don't want to change his imperial certificate anymore."

Liang Jiugong rolled his eyes silently. Why was he saying these useless things? If they really didn't intend to change his imperial edict, then nothing would have happened just now. Everything he said now was just a complaint.

"Your Majesty, how about I ask the prince to come again? He ran away before your order was even issued. This is really against the rules."

"Rules? My words are the rules. Let that kid do whatever he wants. He hasn't had an easy life these past few years. The word 'filial piety' almost broke his back. I don't want him to suffer any hardship."

"You are right. I didn't explain it clearly. I meant to ask His Majesty to come back and comfort you."

"Comfort? Why would I need him to comfort me when I'm fine? Well, if I have that much time, I might as well issue an order quickly to avoid any more trouble later."

Just like that, Yinzhen announced the imperial edict that changed the jade book to the name of Empress Xiaoyi to the six palaces. When Concubine De heard the news, she was completely dumbfounded.

Kangxi clearly valued Yinzhen. She thought that even if her relationship with him had become so strained, as long as she was still his mother, she could still get benefits from him.

Even from the current situation, Kangxi hopes that he will inherit the throne. As long as she is still his mother, she has the hope of becoming the empress dowager.

She had already planned to force him to give up the throne to Yinzhen after becoming the empress dowager, but she didn't expect Kangxi to do this and directly change his jade book.

This incident was a blow to her both in the past and now. She never thought that Empress Xiaoyi could still steal her things even though she was dead.

"What did I do wrong? How could that bastard become the legitimate heir? If he becomes the legitimate heir, what role will I have in the future?"

"What's wrong, mother? As soon as I entered Yonghe Palace, I heard your dissatisfied voice. If this gets out, the emperor will be unhappy."

Yinzhen walked in with an unhappy look on his face. He really wanted to ask her if she was crazy and why she pushed her fourth brother so far away, but she really had nothing to say to him, so he couldn't say such a thing.

"Fourteen? You must have heard about the fourth son. How could that bastard be so cruel? He actually gave up his biological mother just to become the legitimate son. How could he be so cruel?"

"Mother, wasn't it you who didn't want Fourth Brother as your son? Since you were the one who gave up on him first, don't dwell on it. I believe Fourth Brother won't forget you even if he becomes his legitimate son. After all, you are his biological mother."

However, Concubine De didn't think so. She only knew that if he came to power, her dream of becoming the empress dowager would be shattered. At most, she would be a noble concubine. How could that be possible?

Even if it wasn't for her, she had to try for Fourteenth. Yinzhen seemed to see what she was thinking. He knew that he was not worthy of that position, so he no longer had any ideas.

"Mother, some things are not your son's, no matter how well you plan, they can't come true. Please stop having these unrealistic dreams in the future.

Fourth brother has suffered a lot in the past few years. Please don't bother him anymore. The emperor changed his imperial certificate because he felt sorry for him. If you had been nicer to him, this scene would not have happened.

My son now only hopes to realize the ambition he has had since childhood. You know, I want to fight in the battlefield like my elder brother and become a famous general and king."

Seeing that her most beloved youngest son said this, Defei could do nothing even if she was unhappy. However, she hated Yinzhen and decided not to see him unless necessary.

"Mother knows. Since he and I are not destined to be together, I will just pretend that I never gave birth to this son, so that I won't get more angry the more I think about it."

Yinzhen originally thought that Concubine De would jump out to stop this, but he didn't expect that Yinzhi coaxed her. This was a good thing, as it saved him from having to spend time dealing with her.

Three years later, Kangxi suddenly felt that his end was near. He didn't know why he had such a feeling, but he had already figured out the principles of birth, old age, sickness and death, so there was nothing surprising about it.

But Yinzhen still noticed his increasingly old face and his helpless look.

"Father Emperor, you haven't been feeling well lately. Why don't you ask the imperial physician to see you? I've taken a look at these memorials for you. Please get more rest."

"It's okay, I'm just old, nothing else. Fourth Brother, I have something to tell you, come here."

Yinzhen came forward obediently. Kangxi looked at his most beloved son after the crown prince and nodded with satisfaction. Thinking of the crown prince who was still in the clan house, he sighed helplessly.

"I'm afraid your time has come. When you get old, you tend to reminisce about the past. I remember you and Baocheng were close when you were little, and I thought you would support each other until old age. I didn't expect...

This is ultimately due to his intolerance of others. I don't expect you to forgive him, but my attitude in recent years has been so obvious that you should have sensed it. I hope you can promise me one thing."

"Father Huang will be fine. Don't scare your son. Tell him what you want him to do. Don't leave him alone."

Yinzhen's eyes were filled with tears, which made Kangxi feel distressed. He was too sentimental, otherwise the throne would not have been his.

"I hope you can release Baocheng, even if it means he becomes a commoner outside the palace. He will definitely know that he is wrong."

Just as Mu Sili said, although the emperor was angry at his second brother for doing something wrong and wished he would die, he regretted it afterwards, otherwise he would not let him go at this time.
