She was no longer the high and mighty Concubine De. Even if she still had the status of a noble lady, she was just a deposed concubine in the cold palace.
She was only thinking about making plans for Yinzhen, but she didn't expect that when she was in trouble, only Yinzhen, her disliked son, would stand up and speak for her.
However, her youngest son, who grew up being doted on by her, chose to turn a blind eye. Even when Kangxi raised objections, he only thought about making excuses for himself rather than pleading for her.
She had a feeling that she seemed to have raised an ungrateful person, and the one who was truly sincere to her was her eldest son, whom she never liked.
Thinking that she was about to be banished to the cold palace, she wanted to say a few words to Yinzhen, but Kangxi did not give her the chance.
This silly son was already somewhat foolishly filial, and even though Noble Lady Uya treated him so well, he was willing to plead for her at the risk of being extremely disrespectful.
If he listened to her complaints a few more times, wouldn't he continue to kneel down and beg for mercy until he was allowed to release Concubine Wu Ya?
"Come here, send her to the cold palace immediately. Since the fourth brother has pleaded for her, I will spare her, but I cannot let the Wuya clan off like this.
Fourth Brother, I know you are soft-hearted, but I must tell you one thing: those who are too soft-hearted cannot achieve great things. I hope you can accept the affairs of the Wuya clan."
Yinzhen lowered his head and said nothing. Kangxi knew that he was considering something. After all, he was going to become the crown prince, so he couldn't be too soft-hearted.
After a moment, Yinzhen looked at Kangxi with determination in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will handle the affairs of the Wuya clan impartially and will never bend the law for personal gain or disappoint you. Just wait and see, the Wuya clan will soon be gone."
Kangxi expressed his satisfaction. As long as his son had this idea, it proved that what he had just said was useful to him.
As long as he is useful, after his death, his chances of acting on his emotions will be reduced. He does not require Yinzhen to be a wise ruler, but only requires that he be faultless.
"Go ahead, I believe you can handle this matter."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
The news that Concubine De was demoted to a noble lady and sent to the cold palace and that Yinzhen's imperial record was changed to be in the name of Empress Xiaoyi spread throughout the six palaces, and everyone felt that something was wrong.
When Empress Xiaoyi wanted to change his imperial edict to her own name, Kangxi disagreed. Why would he change it for him at this juncture when they were fighting for the throne?
Could it be that Yinzhen's previous display of non-competition was all fake, and his real purpose was to relax their vigilance?
As expected, few people who grew up in this palace are simple-minded. Now that the crown prince is still around, once he is deposed, Yinzhen will definitely be a major hidden danger.
It seems that they have to find an opportunity to get rid of him, otherwise, as long as he is around, they will have no chance.
Inside Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince drank one cup after another in a melancholy manner, while the Crown Princess stood by and tried to persuade him with a distressed look on her face.
"Your Highness, you can't continue to be so decadent. Listen to my advice and go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to apologize to the Emperor.
The Emperor loves you the most. If you admit your mistake, he will definitely forgive you. Even if you no longer become the Crown Prince, we can still be together as a family."
"Yes, Your Highness, as long as there is green, there will be no shortage of firewood. You can't continue like this. I am really worried."
Concubine Li also chimed in. To her, the crown prince was no longer a crown prince, so how could she, a concubine, still be a concubine?
The crown prince was not dead, but was deposed. Since the crown prince was deposed, those people in the backyard would naturally be deposed as well.
Now that he has two sons, he must not let their future be affected by the dethronement of the crown prince.
The Crown Prince had experienced a lot and could see at a glance the Crown Princess's sincerity and Concubine Li's hypocrisy. He couldn't help but want to laugh.
Everyone in Yuqing Palace knew how much he doted on Concubine Li and how much he disliked the Crown Princess. However, his favorite Concubine Li was a heartless person, and he was very disappointed.
However, the Crown Princess was beyond his expectations. No matter how much he ignored her, she still cared about him and himself.
She is worthy of being the Crown Princess carefully chosen by the Emperor. It was I who harmed her, otherwise she would definitely have taken the throne of Queen.
"All of you please go out. I want to be alone. Princess, don't worry. I won't let you end up like me."
"Your Highness, we are husband and wife. We should share happiness and hardship. You don't need to comfort me. Since I have married you, I will live and die with you."
Concubine Li stood there awkwardly. For some reason, she felt like a third wheel.
But since the prince had said so, there was no need for her to stay here any longer. She should go back and clean up her own warehouse. In case the prince was really deposed, she would have the confidence.
Yinzhi, Yinsi and others also took seriously the fact that Yinzhen was named the legitimate son, and they decided to join forces to cut off Yinzhen's path to the throne.
As to whether he really wants to seize the throne, it has nothing to do with them.
At Prince Yong's mansion, Fu Jin had already received the news that Yinzhen's imperial edict had been changed to the name of Empress Xiaoyi, and she was a little shocked.
Does this mean that the prince is the legitimate son? Then my status has become the highest under the Crown Princess.
No, I must get rid of Nian while the prince is away, otherwise my status will become increasingly low.
"Come here, put this powder into Nian's medicine. I will kill her three times."
"yes."
The maidservant did not dare to object and could only agree, but she was not a fool and would not give up her life for the concubine.
Therefore, she stayed at the gate all the time, and as soon as Yinzhen came back, she rushed up and told him about the affairs of the main courtyard and what the concubine had instructed her to do.
When Yinzhen learned that she wanted to kill Mu Sili and three others, he was so angry that he took the maid to the main courtyard to confront her.
He had wanted to give her some respect and let her sit on the throne of Queen after he ascended the throne, but he didn't expect her to be so vicious. Since that was the case, he couldn't blame him for being cruel.
Mu Sili had heard that she was going to pick up Yinzhen after he came back, but after learning that he had gone to the main courtyard, she turned around and went to sleep.
Anyway, it was impossible for Fu Jin to harm her, and Yinzhen went to the main courtyard for her, so she would not go and cause trouble, so as to prevent Yinzhen from being soft-hearted towards Fu Jin again.
In the main courtyard, Fu Jin's face turned black with anger when she heard that Yinzhen brought the maid over.
"You little bitch, you little bitch, how dare you disregard my orders? Do you think I won't touch you? When she comes back, I'll kill her!"
"Whose life do you want?"
Yinzhen's furious voice startled Fu Jin.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Your Majesty, I misunderstood you. How could I have such malicious thoughts?"
The servants in the main courtyard looked at each other and knelt on the ground, telling the concubine everything about her recent behavior.
After hearing their accusations, Fu Jin realized that he had long lost the support of the people, and they all wanted him to die immediately!
