After Consort Hui became Consort Hui and caused a huge commotion in the harem, Consort Hui stopped paying attention to the high-ranking concubines in the palace and instead turned her venting to the Chuxiu Palace, becoming the undisputed tyrant there.
Juechan is currently being used by Consort Hui as a tool to demonstrate her power and ability.
Moreover, since Consort Hui was more suitable than others, and because Yinzhi dared not defy Consort Hui, she perfectly eliminated the troubles that Consort Hui was worried about, and became a toy that Consort Hui could not give up.
Now that Consort Hui is unhappy and wants to find someone to assert her authority, then Lady Juechan should step up without hesitation.
Upon hearing her master's words, Cheng Yi immediately felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow it.
Oh dear, why is Master doing such a thankless task again?
What good does it do to embarrass Juechan in private, besides making Prince Yinzhi outside the palace unable to hold his head up?
Besides, Prince Yinzhi was not close to his master to begin with. If rumors spread in the palace that the master was abusing Consort Liang, Chengyi knew without a doubt how chaotic it would be.
She opened her mouth to tell Consort Hui not to do that, but Chengyi realized that she couldn't reason with her at all.
Consort Hui's stubbornness was not something that could be easily changed. She frowned and waved her hand, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Orange: ...Well, now they're issuing an ultimatum.
"Yes, I understand."
Cheng Yi nodded, sighed, and turned to leave.
...
The gossip and scandals within the palace quickly spread through various channels.
The ministers outside the palace were all aware of these matters, including Mingzhu and Suo'etu.
They were not only the people of the First Prince and the Crown Prince, but also the culprits who pushed the First Prince and the Crown Prince together.
In the forties of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Kangxi found an opportunity to eliminate Suo'etu, and Mingzhu chose to retire from the court and work behind the scenes.
Of course, Mingzhu ultimately did not escape either, and his fate was not much better than that of Suo'etu.
These two fought for their entire lives, and in the end, they were both buried under the throne. It makes people feel more fear than regret. Even Suo'etu and Mingzhu couldn't win. How many people will die for that chair in the Golden Palace?
"Ah, has His Majesty said to whom he intends to entrust this matter?"
Outside the palace, Mingzhu stood by the study window, looking up at the trees outside where leaves were falling.
"No, the Emperor's fate is still uncertain, and everyone else is getting impatient."
Behind him was Mingzhu's son, who sighed and looked rather listless.
Mingzhu's sons were all physically weak. Although Nalan Rongruo was the most famous among them, the others were not far behind.
It's as if Mingzhu's family has some kind of genetic predisposition to illness, because Mingzhu herself occasionally needs to drink a few doses of herbal medicine to regulate her body.
"It would be fine if they couldn't hold back, but the real problem is if they don't inform us and take action on their own."
Mingzhu had sharp eyes and saw things clearly. He felt that the Emperor might be trying to make an example of someone.
Is it because they are dissatisfied with what he did? He could have removed Yinqi from the situation much earlier, but he dragged it out until the very end, letting things develop in an uncontrollable direction and dragging several adult princes into the mess.
Mingzhu tapped the windowsill; he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
The eldest prince is not one to listen to advice; he only realizes his mistake after hitting a brick wall.
If Mingzhu wants the eldest prince to obey, he needs to let the eldest prince act rashly first. When the eldest prince suffers losses later, that will be the opportunity for Mingzhu to step in and win him over.
Because of this simple plan, the relationship between the eldest prince, Yinqi, and him grew closer, and even Consort Hui in the palace became much more restrained.
It's worth noting that Yehenara and Consort Hui had quite a few conflicts before.
After all, when several of the Yehenara women who entered the palace got into trouble, Consort Hui was more or less involved.
The fact that the two sides have now turned their dry cloth into jade and wine for the sake of the eldest prince Yinti is quite a beautiful story.
“Father, there are some things we can’t control,” Mingzhu’s son said bluntly, as they couldn’t cover up everything.
"That's why this happened."
Mingzhu sighed, feeling sorry for himself and for his schemes.
In the end, it was still Yinti who was disappointing.
Mingzhu thought of the Eighth Prince Yinzhi, who was always by Yinti's side.
This prince is quite good; both his conduct and demeanor are exactly what I desire. The only pity is that Yinzhi's birth is too humble.
If possible, Mingzhu would not place his hopes on this person, but if he were to choose a prince to become the new emperor, Yinzhi would be the most suitable.
It's not scary for a prince to have a reputation for virtue, since everyone can pretend. But Yinzhi not only had a reputation for virtue, but he also couldn't control the ministers. The ministers liked this kind of puppet emperor the most because he posed no threat to them.
If Yinti doesn't work out, then we should set our sights on Yinsi.
After all, he was a child raised under Consort Hui's care. If someone were to work together from the inside and outside to use Juechan to threaten Yinzhi, he didn't believe Yinzhi wouldn't obediently give in.
"Father, you..."
"I'm fine. I just suddenly realized that we don't necessarily need the eldest prince."
Although their relationship with the eldest prince was based on blood ties, it was not a binding one.
In other words, unlike Suo'etu, who could only stick to the Crown Prince and suffer if the ship capsized, Mingzhu could choose to abandon the eldest prince and instead support other princes.
Of course, Mingzhu was taking a great risk by doing this. He had already made his way in the Emperor's eyes, and by turning to support other princes, he was disregarding the Emperor's will. To put it bluntly, it was defying the imperial decree, and the possibility of his family being wiped out was not out of the question.
Now that Kangxi wants the eldest prince and the crown prince to fight each other, then the eldest prince and the crown prince will not be able to live in peace.
