Fearing he would die young, Yin Yi went back to Qixiang Palace and began to think about how to feign illness and hide away for a while.
In any case, the imperial court is currently a powder keg, and it could explode at any moment.
Yin Yi was worried about being implicated. Call him a coward or lacking ambition, but he didn't dare to take the plunge.
Finally, Yin Yi found an opportunity to fall off his horse, injuring his leg. It would take a hundred days to recover from such a serious injury, so he had to stay home and rest.
With Yin Yi taking a break, the situation in the court began to become delicate again.
The clever brothers were secretly laughing to themselves, cursing Yin Yi for being so underhanded. They found his trick of "the toad shedding its skin" disgusting, but they couldn't use it against him. The remaining brothers continued to dawdle in the court, occasionally pulling off some outrageous moves, trying their best to stay within the Emperor's bottom line.
But these things can't be endured for long.
The first to erupt was the Crown Prince. He simply couldn't take it anymore. Since most of his children had died and his own father treated him like a breeding boar, he decided to go all out and have a quick and painless end.
The Crown Prince's quick and easy fate was that he was once again deposed by Emperor Kangxi.
This time, however, the Crown Prince was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
Kneeling on the hard, cold floor of the main hall, the Crown Prince looked at his father, the Emperor, who was in a fit of rage, and thought to himself that their father-son relationship was shallow, and in the end, it could only end in this way.
Next, the eldest prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince all ran into trouble.
Some princes simply didn't want to compete anymore, like the Sixth and Seventh Princes; others wanted revenge and to perish together, like the First and Eighth Princes; and still others wanted to continue trying, like the Fifth Prince who had secretly developed his powers without being exposed.
However, the Fifth Prince was a bit unlucky. While he was doing well, Consort De's past misdeeds were exposed. In addition, the Thirteenth Prince's two younger sisters were betrothed to Mongolians one after another. The Thirteenth Prince was dissatisfied, and Consort De became Kangxi's punching bag.
Even the Fifth Prince, Yinzhen, suffered such a defeat; even if he wanted to, he was powerless to change it.
Kangxi belatedly realized that he had been too cruel to his sons. He then discovered that apart from Yin Yi, who was recuperating from an illness, and Yin Tang and Yin E, who were truly worth mentioning, there was no one else he could use (Yin Tao was tacitly kicked out of the game after being handed over to the Empress Dowager, and no matter how hard Yin Tao tried, it was useless).
puff--
Emperor Kangxi suffered a stroke, vomiting blood and falling into a coma.
