"Now is not the time to talk about this. Listen carefully. From now on, pack your boxes and prepare to leave the palace. The day we leave the palace is not far away."
"What does this mean, my brother? Is the Emperor going to confer a title on us and give us a separate residence?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be like this. Just wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen and Yin? immediately went back to pack their things. Although the palace was good, there were too many rules in the palace, which still restricted them.
But it’s different when they leave the palace. It will be much easier for them to act, but all these are done in secret. They are not fools, so how can they leave any handle behind?
The emperor was most wary of people who formed cliques and kept secrets, but he was not stupid. Since he had decided to fight for that position, he had to be careful and let the emperor know that he had no intention of seizing the throne, so that he would have a chance.
It's a pity. Although the prince has made many mistakes, the emperor is willing to clean up the mess for him. If he hadn't left any evidence, he would have been able to keep his position as the prince.
"Master, what are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't respond. Where are my ninth and tenth brothers? Didn't I hear they were coming? Why didn't you invite them to dinner?"
"Why are you here? I was just thinking about something. They've gone back. Li'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer today. Let's leave the palace when the time is right."
Can I leave the palace so soon? In that case, then leave the palace. It's good to be able to return to Prince An's Mansion frequently outside the palace.
"I will listen to you, Master. I am your wife, and whatever you say is what I will do. I will not feel wronged. After all, she is your mother, and I do not blame her.
But isn’t the punishment from the Emperor a bit too harsh? My mother is not in good health. I’m afraid she won’t be able to withstand fifty rounds of palace rules.
I remember there was a three-hundred-year-old ginseng in my dowry. Please give it to my mother later."
Yinsi looked at her with a touched expression. It was really hard for her to be so filial. He didn't want to give such a good thing to his mother, so as to avoid her suspecting that she had ulterior motives and wasting it.
"Mother won't use it. She's prejudiced against you. Don't waste such a good thing. You're pregnant, and I'm worried something might go wrong during delivery. It's better to keep it for emergencies."
"What could possibly go wrong? Don't worry, Master. I'll take good care of myself. If you don't want to send me anything, then don't send me anything. I'll send Mother something else to make amends."
"No, my mother won't accept it. On the contrary, she will think it's a provocation. Since she doesn't like you, why bother to make yourself unhappy?"
Since he said so, she would not send anything to Concubine Liang. Good things should be used on one's own people.
"I understand. My Lord just mentioned the matter of the palace. When are you going to discuss this with the Emperor? Will he agree?"
"Yes, I will mention it in a few days. I will appear worried these days, so I'll trouble Madam to help me put on a show."
"Acting? This is something I'm good at. Don't worry, Master. I promise to do it perfectly for you."
Seeing this, Yinsi suddenly had a bad feeling. It was obvious that she had bad intentions. Why not just forget it?
A week later, Yinzhi came again, this time to complain about the prince's inaction.
"Eighth brother, do you think the second son is sick? He has been killing people one after another in Yuqing Palace. He doesn't even treat his servants as human beings!"
"What did you say, big brother? The Crown Prince killed someone in Yuqing Palace? Didn't the Emperor hear about this?"
Yinsi was shocked. How could the prince dare to do such a thing? It was normal to beat and kill one or two people for making mistakes, but it was different if it happened two after another. He did it on purpose.
"Of course not! It seems like the Emperor is trying to protect him. I'm so pissed! Why does the Emperor think so highly of him?"
"Maybe it's because he's the only heir left by Empress Yuan. Big brother, he's the legitimate son. We've already lost fundamentally."
A legitimate son? What a legitimate son! He's the eldest son of the emperor. How could he have been crowned the crown prince since birth? He had a chance to compete for that position.
Since he is not worthy of the position, he should give it to a truly magnanimous person. He is not worthy of being the crown prince.
Yinzhi now has only one idea, that even if he cannot sit on the throne of the crown prince, he must dethrone the crown prince. How can a person who does not take human life seriously sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince?
"I just don't believe that the Emperor will protect him again and again. Tomorrow I will join forces with the censors to impeach him. I don't believe that the Emperor can still blatantly protect him."
Yinzhi was also angry. It was obvious that the prince was not a wise candidate for a ruler. If he were to sit on the throne, wouldn't those of them who participated in the fight for the throne be killed without a burial place?
Even if it is for his own good ending, he cannot be allowed to succeed in taking the throne. The position of crown prince should be vacated and given to someone who is truly kind-hearted.
The reason why Yinzhi thought this way was that he was clearly aware that Kangxi would not pass the throne to him. In this case, why should he make himself unhappy?
His home is to fight in the battlefield and kill the enemy. Even if he cannot become an emperor, he wants to be a general king, so as not to waste his life in this world.
"Brother, have you made up your mind? You wanted to seize the throne, so why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Yinsi was confused. If Yinzhi didn't fight, who would be the next person to be pushed out to challenge the prince? Wouldn't it be him?
Probably not. He has repeatedly stated in front of the Emperor that he will not participate in the fight for the throne. If she can be dragged into this, then he has nothing to say.
"Speaking of this makes me furious. Every family has its share of dirty deeds. The Crown Prince himself doesn't care about human life, but he falsely accuses me of being the same as him. The key is that the Emperor seems to believe it. What else can I do?
He clearly doesn't trust me. If he's on my side, how could he not see that this is the Crown Prince's blatant false accusation?
Yinzhi said that he was very angry. It was really sad for him to have such an emperor father. He had no chance of becoming emperor, but he would never watch the prince succeed in taking the throne.
"By the way, look at my memory, Eighth Brother, do you know? I discovered something interesting."
Yinzhi looked at Yinsi mysteriously. He was surprised by his secret. The boy hid it too deeply. If he hadn't discovered it accidentally, he wouldn't have known that Yinsi had the intention to seize the throne.
"Brother, if you've discovered something, why not tell your younger brother? He's very curious."
Let’s not worry about the prince for now. He is more curious about what Yinzhi wants to tell him. It is so mysterious, it must be a big deal.
"Can you believe that the fourth brother who has always been loyal to the Crown Prince actually has the intention to seize the throne? This really surprises me.
I thought he was really as cold-hearted as he appeared to be, but I didn't expect he was just pretending for us. I almost fell into his trap.
If I hadn't accidentally discovered this, he might have been the one who got to the top. He's so patient. I can only say that the ninja is invincible. I admire him."
