Perhaps it was God's arrangement. After marrying her, everything went smoothly for him. Not only was his mother named a noble concubine, he also had two pairs of children, and the emperor valued him even more.
Although he is not as good as the crown prince, he is already very good. Moreover, the emperor father secretly taught him how to be a king. He knew that all these were brought by Mu Sili, so he cherished the days with her even more.
He had originally planned to wait a few years until the crown prince and his elder brother had almost finished fighting before taking action, but he didn't expect that he could not sit still and actually teamed up with Soetu to force the emperor to abdicate.
He knew this was a godsend, so he hurried to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and it was at that time that he heard their entire conversation.
Just as he thought, he successfully rescued the emperor and earned himself the title of prince. He wanted to mock the prince, but when he was on the verge of death, he suddenly understood him.
Having been the crown prince for more than 20 years, he thought that this position would be in his pocket, but he did not expect that the brothers around him were eyeing him covetously. If he was not ruthless, he would be the first to die.
He was thinking that if his identity was reversed with the prince's, he might not be able to hold on until now and would have broken down. After all, not everyone is as patient as the prince.
That's not right. If he had patience, he wouldn't have waited until now to force the emperor to abdicate. I'm afraid he would have been unable to sit still a few years ago when he gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
"I still call you Second Brother, which proves that you still hold a place in my heart. Even if you once drew your sword against me, it cannot change the fact that you were once my most respected brother.
Actually, I'm very curious. You're so proud, why did you let Soetu control you? Don't you know his ambitions are no less than yours? If you ascend to power with his help, who knows, the country will eventually be ruled by the Hesheli clan.
The Emperor has actually always valued you very much. You are his only legitimate son. The status that a legitimate son represents is not comparable to that of ordinary people. I believe you know this.
The Emperor is still in his prime, and it's not time for him to abdicate. Since you've waited for over twenty years, why not wait another two years? Perhaps in two years, the Emperor will feel tired and abdicate.
Now that you've done this to the Emperor, even if he wants to let you go, the important officials in the court won't let you go. Second brother, I'm really going to call you Second Brother for the last time. I'll take care of things at the Imperial Clan Court so you don't suffer too much."
After saying this, Yinqi left. What he said just now was both true and acting. Kangxi must have known about his visit to the clan house, and since he knew it, he would send someone to follow him.
Sometimes he found it funny. They were obviously father and son, but they lived in suspicion and vigilance against each other. He valued him more, but he was also on guard against him, preventing him from becoming the next prince.
If he guessed correctly, he would not become the crown prince. Just like what he had said to Kangxi before, there was only one crown prince, and that was the deposed crown prince. He would be the new emperor and there was no need to change his status as crown prince.
The deposed prince was silent for a long time before he looked at Yinqi seriously. There was relief and determination in his eyes. He should not be alive. Living would bring trouble to his children.
"Fifth brother, I have something to ask of you. Hongxi and the others are still young, and it's been several months since I was demoted to a commoner by the Emperor. Can you tell me where they are now and whether they are doing well?"
"They are fine. Although the Emperor abolished your position as Crown Prince, he was still kind to these grandchildren. He simply sent people to escort them out of the palace. However, they no longer have the status of royal relatives."
The deposed prince smiled bitterly. He had guessed the result long ago, hadn't he? But why was he still so disappointed? It would have been fine if the emperor blamed him, but why did he deprive Hongxi and the others of their status as princes?
Without the protection of their royal status, their lives in the capital will be very difficult. Not only that, they will also be bullied by people with a little family background. Hongxi is the eldest grandson of the emperor. How can he endure such a great grievance?
He wanted to ask Yinqi to take care of his children, but he found it difficult to say it. Yinqi also had to put on an act for Kangxi, so even if he didn't ask, he would take the initiative to take care of Hongxi and the others.
"Don't worry, I am their uncle after all. Even if you don't tell me, I will take good care of them. It just so happens that my ninth brother has been running out of the palace. I will ask him to give them some appropriate help.
When the Emperor's anger subsides, I will also plead with him. Hongxi is the Emperor's eldest grandson, so his status is different. If he continues to live as a commoner, the people of the world will think that the Royal Family is heartless."
After hearing what Yinqi said, the deposed prince completely let go of his prejudice. He stood up, knelt in front of Yinqi and bowed deeply.
"I will repay your kindness in my next life."
"It's getting late. I should go back to the palace. Second brother, take care of yourself. I'll bring Hongxi to see you in a few days. If you have anything to say, just tell him directly."
The deposed prince did not speak. He had nothing to say. As long as Hongxi was fine, it would be fine. He believed in Yinqi's character. Since he said he would take care of them, he would definitely do it.
He suddenly felt that there was no need for him to live anymore. His existence was a stain on Hongxi. Anyway, he already had a successor. After seeing Hongxi, he would go to Changshengtian to apologize to his ancestors.
As soon as Yinqi left, the person who was monitoring him also left. Just as he expected, after returning to the palace, the person went to the Qianqing Palace and told Kangxi everything that happened in the Zongrenfu without missing a word.
Kangxi knew that the deposed prince had admitted his mistake, but admitting his mistake did not mean that he would not be punished. He would forget what had happened as time passed, but he could guarantee that he would not forget this incident.
That was his most beloved son. He actually did such a thing to him. He would never be able to let it go even after a few years. What's more, Yinqi said such words. He really didn't know what to say.
Forget it, children are all debts. Yinqi is now his favorite heir. Since he wants to help that evil son and make life easier for Hongxi and the others, then he will fulfill his wish.
"Xiaowu is now in good health. Let him start attending court tomorrow. In a few months, Xiaowu's wife will give birth. If he doesn't make some achievements, I will be embarrassed to reward him."
"Your Majesty is right. I will go to the prince's residence. However, the Fourth Prince had previously sent someone to tell me that he wanted to move out of the palace."
Kangxi suddenly had a headache. Concubine De was not a good person either. Although Yinzhen could not be said to be very good, he was at least filial. She actually forced him to the point of voluntarily proposing to move out of the palace, which showed how deeply he was hurt.
