Yinzhen just looked at her like that, making her feel uneasy. Why did she have the feeling that he wanted to kill her?
It was an illusion, it must be an illusion. She treated him badly on a daily basis, but he was still filial. He would definitely not do such a thing.
"Since you are my son, you should trust me unconditionally. I have said that Fourteenth is the best heir to the throne. You are his biological brother, so you should pave the way for him. Remember?"
If it were before, Yinzhen would definitely have been insincere with her, but now it is no longer possible, he has lost confidence in her.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Mother? The Crown Prince is still firmly sitting on the throne. On what basis did Fourteenth Brother become the Crown Prince?"
"What do you mean? You want to burn the bridge after crossing it? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The position of Crown Prince is not something you can covet. You'd better put away those unrealistic thoughts of yours."
"I dare not. I am only stating the facts to you. As long as the Crown Prince is here, my Fourteenth Brother will never be able to rise to prominence. You should just give up on that idea."
Yinzhen decided that since his biological mother was unwilling to acknowledge him as her son, he would just pretend that she didn't exist.
The prince no longer trusted him anyway. If he could use her to get rid of the prince, his path to succession would be much easier.
In her eyes, he would never be able to succeed in getting promoted anyway, so don't blame him for being cruel.
Just as he thought, Concubine De was successfully led astray by him. In her opinion, it was indeed the Crown Prince who blocked her son's way. In that case, let the Crown Prince become history.
As long as the crown prince is gone, Kangxi will definitely turn his attention to the fourteenth prince, whom he loves the most. Once the fourteenth prince becomes the crown prince, she will be able to take a step further.
She was wronged today, and when she sits on the throne of queen, she will make sure Concubine Hui knows the consequences of offending her.
No, not the queen, but the noble concubine or even the imperial concubine. As long as her rank is higher than hers, she can punish her with justification.
"Don't spread what I just said. I'm telling you, you're my son. I gave birth to you, so you must do whatever I ask you to do. Don't let me down. Remember that?"
"What are you going to do, mother? I advise you not to fight against the stone with the egg. You will be the one who suffers. It's getting late. I will go back first. I'm leaving."
Before leaving, Yinzhen smiled. Look, his stupid mother was fooled.
Second brother, don’t blame your younger brother for being cruel. Who made you think your younger brother was stupid? Since your younger brother is stupid, he would definitely not do such a thing as instigating others to harm you, don’t you think?
In Yuqing Palace, the prince laughed disdainfully after hearing about what happened in the Imperial Garden. He said that Defei and her son were both fools. How dare they covet his position? Once he came to power, he would skin them alive.
"Your Highness, you have been under house arrest for quite some time. If the Emperor doesn't let you out, I'm afraid those who follow you will have ideas."
"Indeed, I should leave now. If I don't, the position of Crown Prince will really be replaced."
The next morning, Soetu took the lead in pleading for the prince, claiming that he had realized his mistake and hoped that Kangxi would lift his house arrest.
Kangxi also felt that he had been imprisoned for too long, and it would be a good idea to release him to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Since my dear ministers have said so, I will release that rebellious son. However, I am putting this on notice: if he makes another mistake, it will not be as simple as confinement."
"Your Majesty is wise. I think the prince has realized his mistake and will definitely not make the same mistake again."
The prince was released just like that. During the time he was released, he had been very well-behaved, and Concubine De also found an opportunity to take action against him.
"Anyone who dares to prevent my Fourteenth Prince from becoming the Crown Prince shall die. The throne belongs to Fourteenth Prince, and I will remove all obstacles for him."
"Your Majesty, the Yuqing Palace is heavily guarded. If people knew that it was you who killed the Crown Prince, it would have an impact on the Fourteenth Prince."
"I know. Look at this. How could I possibly reveal this? Remember, the one who harmed the prince was Yinzhen. I know nothing."
The palace maid didn't know what to say. It was really sad for him to have such a mother.
In Yuqing Palace, the prince killed again, but this time he had a legitimate reason. After all, it was that man who tried to assassinate him first, so it was reasonable for him to kill him.
Kangxi angrily brought Yinsi and others to Yuqing Palace, and saw the prince standing in a pool of blood. At that moment, he felt that the prince wanted to kill him.
Sure enough, such a vicious and cruel person is not worthy of being the crown prince. When he makes a mistake again, he will definitely depose him from the position of crown prince.
"Second brother, what did this servant do wrong? Why did you kill him?"
Yinzhen knew at a glance that Concubine De had failed to accomplish anything. He cursed her in his heart and felt that the prince should continue to be disliked by Kangxi, so he said this without thinking.
The prince looked at him as if he were a fool. He really cared about his position. He didn't forget to slander him at this time. It was a pity. He was not wrong this time.
"Prince, won't you explain this to me? Have I ever told you that palace maids are also human beings, not beings you can just kill or beat at will?"
"Father, this time it's really not my fault. If you don't believe me, ask them. If it weren't for self-protection, I wouldn't have killed him."
Kangxi obviously didn't believe it. After all, the prince had a criminal record and his words could not be trusted.
But since the prince has already said so, if he still blames the mistake on him, it will seem that he is unkind.
"Second brother, you killed a lot of palace servants for no reason before. Even if you want to put the blame on him, you should produce evidence, right?"
"Fourth Brother, you really want me to be deposed. What a pity! Even if I am really deposed, it will not be your turn to sit on the throne of the crown prince."
Kangxi looked at Yinzhen silently. He never expected that his son also had the intention of seizing the throne. Why didn’t he see it before?
Yinsi is still the best. He focuses on the people. I heard that Concubine De made things difficult for his wife some time ago. If it weren’t for Concubine Hui, I’m afraid something would have happened to the baby in her belly.
Now Yinzhen insisted that the prince had committed murder intentionally, but the prince said that this was not the case. It seemed that this matter was related to him, and he wanted to see the truth.
"Liang Jiugong, send someone to investigate. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent after all. I want to see who is so bold as to kill him."
"yes."
A hint of coldness flashed across the prince's eyes. Who else could it be? Of course it was Concubine De and her son. It was a pity that he couldn't kill Concubine De now, otherwise he would definitely give her a sword.
Yinzhen's heart suddenly started beating fast. Somehow, he felt that today's incident was a trap set for him. Could it be that his mother really wanted to make him a scapegoat?
No, he didn't want to be a fish to be slaughtered. If Concubine De really framed him, he would expose her ambition and see how she would respond.
