Yinzhen felt guilty towards Mu Sili. It was true that nothing happened to her, but it was true that he did not protect her well. He almost lost her and their child.

"Li'er, this time it was my fault. I almost got you hurt. I promise that this won't happen again."

"Your Highness, there is no need to apologize to me. I know how good you are to me. This was just an accident, so don't take it to heart."

Although he said so, Yinzhen felt that it was his own fault that Mu Sili almost got into trouble, so he sent a lot of people to protect Qingfengxuan.

After going through so much, Hongshi has become much calmer. In his opinion, he is indeed a little stupid, otherwise he would not be schemed against by his own sister.

The position of the prince of a royal palace was not something he could aspire to. What he needed to do now was to strengthen himself. Even if he did not become the prince in the future, he would still have a place to stay.

Time passed quickly and Mu Sili started moving.

When Yinzhen learned the news, he was discussing with Kangxi in the Palace of Heavenly Purity how to deal with the prince's rebellion. After hearing that Mu Sili had launched the rebellion, he ran away without looking back.

"Did that kid forget to say hello to me?"

"It seems so, Your Majesty. Princess Niuhulu is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. Would you like to go to the Prince of Yong's Mansion to take a look?"

"Go, why not? I want to witness the birth of the future ruler of the Qing Dynasty. Keep an eye on Yuqing Palace. I want to see what he plans to do."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. Everything is ready. But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really forces the emperor to abdicate, will you still spare his life?"

"Liang Jiugong, do you think I am the kind of person who would kill my son? He is my son after all, and I will not take his life."

Liang Jiugong understood that the prince had a very high status in Kangxi's heart. Even if the prince committed the act of regicide and patricide, he still decided to spare his life.

Since he doesn't want the prince's life, he will instruct someone in secret to monitor the prince.

In Prince Yong's Mansion, Yinzhen was waiting outside with excitement on his face. Inside was his beloved woman giving birth to his children. After today, he wanted her to become his legitimate wife.

Just when Yinzhen was getting anxious, Kangxi arrived.

"Father Emperor, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the palace at this time to prevent my second brother from mutiny? Is it okay for you to leave the palace?"

"Do you really think I'm a vegetarian? Even if I'm outside the palace, the prince won't succeed. These are the first twins of the Qing imperial family, a boy and a girl. I must be here to watch them being born."

Yinzhen couldn't help rolling his eyes. How could he not know that the emperor was so shameless? He was really honored by his son. He would teach that kid a lesson in the future.

"It's up to you to decide. Why hasn't the baby been born in such a long time? Is there any accident?"

Kangxi looked at him with disdain. This wasn't his first time as a father, so why was he still so anxious like a fool?

"Can you be more steady like me? I really don't want to admit that you are my son. It's too embarrassing."

"If the Emperor's concubines also became pregnant with twins, I hope you can be as calm and steady as you are now, and not be as anxious as I am."

Kangxi sneered. If it was true that there was a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, in the palace as he said, and if he could develop the Qing Dynasty into a prosperous era like the one in Mu Sili's belly, he would definitely make him the crown prince.

But the problem is that there is no such talent in his harem. Even if he wants to be nervous and excited, he can't do anything, so he can't see this excitement.

"Don't tell me these nonsense. If you have that time, you'd better focus on how the Crown Prince will force the emperor to abdicate. I don't believe he can force the emperor to abdicate when I'm not in the palace."

"Father Emperor, do you think the Prince of Yong's Mansion is safe? Could it be that my second brother is planning to start with the mansion and then use the child to force you to abdicate?"

Kangxi was silent. It was really possible that if the prince really had such an idea in mind, then he could only say that it was a good idea.

"I have laid a net for him. If he hadn't done that, he would still be my good son. But if he insists on courting death, I can't protect him."

Yinzhen was puzzled. Didn't the emperor say he would spare his life before? Why did it seem like the emperor didn't care much about his life or death now?

"Father, tell your son the truth. Have you given up on my second brother? He's your only son with Empress Yuan. Can you really bear it?"

"Why should I be so cruel? He is the one who did something wrong. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I do want to spare his life, but I don't know if he values ​​it."

It’s really hard to say about this kind of thing. Whether you agree or not is his problem. The best way to deal with it is to shut up.

Just as they responded in silence, the prince came in with his men.

"The Emperor truly values ​​my fourth brother. Not only did he recognize him as his legitimate son, he even came in person to await the birth of his children. Why didn't you show such concern when Hongxi was born?"

"Second brother? Aren't you still under house arrest? Why did you come out? Forget it. Today is the day my brother's child is born, so I won't bother with you."

"Fourth Brother, it was only after I was grounded that I realized how hypocritical you were. If you wanted my position, why did you want to be my man in the first place?

It's because I trusted you too much that I allowed you to step on me to ascend to the throne. Otherwise, how could a prince born to a bondservant like you be qualified to be recorded as a legitimate son?"

"Asshole! Even if the Wuya clan was destroyed, they have already been exiled. Who gave you the guts to say such things? He is your younger brother, and this is how you act like an older brother?"

"If I am disrespectful, I will not be friendly with you. Your Majesty, please stop telling such jokes, lest outsiders hear the jokes. I am not here to reminisce with you today.

"Will you issue the decree to abdicate yourself or let your son do it? You know, I'm always ruthless when it comes to violence. If someone loses an arm or a leg, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Is the throne so attractive to you? I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect that I had misjudged you since childhood. Do you know what the consequences will be if you fail?"

"Of course I know. It's nothing more than death. A real man is brave enough to take responsibility for his actions and is not afraid of life or death. Your Majesty, there is no need to use such words to deceive me.

Today it's either you live or I die. If you take the initiative to pass the throne to your son, your son doesn't mind giving you a way to survive and letting you become the emperor.

As for the fourth brother, since he is not loyal to me, I will definitely not let him stay, but I can let his daughter, me.

After all, he truly followed me back then, and I can't leave him without a successor. So, what do you want to do now?"

"I will give you one more chance. Put down your butcher knife and turn back. You are my legitimate son. I valued you very much. If you are obedient, I will spare your life."

"Your Majesty, you are almost a prisoner, yet you still have the courage to speak to me. I admire you. It's a pity. Today, the throne must belong to me."
