Kangxi also looked at Yinzhen with a distressed look on his face. This was his most promising son now, and he must not let anything go wrong because of the crown prince.
"What are you still standing there for? Where's the imperial physician? Are you stupid? Don't you know how to bandage the Fourth Prince?"
The imperial physician rushed forward to bandage Yinzhen, while Kangxi had the prince arrested while he was doing so.
"I originally thought that even if you didn't become the crown prince, you would choose to live well. After all, you are the master of Yuqing Palace, and they still need you.
It seems you haven't even considered how to deal with failure. Only today did I realize how cowardly you are."
"cowardly?"
The prince suddenly laughed. His behavior just now must have angered Kangxi, but so what? Since he could not become emperor, death was the best outcome.
You have to know that even if he was imprisoned, he would not have a good ending. He knew Yinzhen well, and he was a vengeful person.
He ruined his sons' full moon banquet today, and he must be holding a grudge against him. If he were still alive and imprisoned in the clan house, he would definitely find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Yinzhen used to be his follower. Although he was called a follower, he was actually no different from a slave. How could he tolerate his slave standing over him and acting wildly?
"Your Majesty, what you said is funny. I am not a coward, I just don't want to be inferior to others. Today you stopped me from committing suicide, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
I will always find an opportunity. Even if you lock me up in the clan house, it doesn't matter. As long as I want, I can commit suicide smoothly, just like now!"
As he was talking, he wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide. This time, Yinzhi was not going to tolerate him. The fourth brother was just soft-hearted. If he wanted to die, let him die. Why save him?
Saving him is fine, but he doesn't even appreciate it. Isn't that just being inferior to others? He's making it sound like he hasn't been inferior to others in all these years.
"I don't care what you think in your heart. Your current behavior has seriously affected the emperor. Do you know that if you die, the emperor will be criticized by the world?"
"Brother, before you say this, why don't you first ask the Emperor if he has ever felt guilty towards me? I am the Crown Prince, the legitimate heir to the throne. Why wouldn't you let me succeed to the throne?
Since you never thought of letting me succeed to the throne, you shouldn't have isolated me as the crown prince to give me hope. Everything I do now is revenge, revenge on my father's indecision.
"Brother, do you think you can stop me? How can I let you be safe and sound? If I can't do what I want to do, then what's the point of living?"
The prince still wanted to die. Seeing this, Kangxi wanted him to die immediately, but he could not ignore his reputation and could only worry about it.
Mu Sili stood up after observing for a while. At this time, the prince was seeking death. If he died, Kangxi would definitely feel guilty, even though he hated him to the core now.
After all, the prince grew up under the love and care of Kangxi, and the effort he put into him was more than that of all the other princes combined.
He was angry today, but that doesn't mean he won't be angry with Yinzhen because of this matter after today. After all, the reason why the prince became like this was related to him.
"Your Highness, why do you keep speaking in anger? Are you trying to put all the blame on others? I know you don't want this, you're just being unwilling.
Think about it carefully. If the emperor really didn't value you as his son and didn't want you to succeed to the throne, why did he let you serve as the crown prince for so many years?
The reason why the emperor doesn't let you succeed to the throne now is that he feels you still need to be tempered. Once you have the ability to be competent for that position, the emperor will definitely pass the throne to you.
I know that you are jealous of me because I gave birth to two pairs of twins for me, which made me favored by the emperor, but this matter has nothing to do with the emperor.
Everything you are doing now is pushing your relationship with the emperor further apart. If you are unhappy, the emperor will be unhappy too. You can put an end to it once and for all, but have you ever thought about Prince Hongxi?
He is the child you longed for. He is only a few years old. Can you bear to see him being bullied in the future? He is the eldest grandson of the emperor. If you die today, he will lose this status. "
The prince's desire to commit suicide suddenly faded a little. He looked hesitantly at Hongxi, who was with Concubine Li not far away. That was his eldest son, the son he had been waiting for for a long time.
He remembered how happy he was when he was born. How could he bear to let him suffer in the future?
But now that things have come to this, it is too late for him to admit his mistake even if he wants to. What he has done is enough to punish the entire clan, and the emperor deserves to take his life.
No, the emperor seemed to have said that he wanted to confine him to the clan house. It seemed that he wanted him to live to atone for his sins, but in fact he wanted to make him live a life worse than death, and he didn't want that.
Seeing that the prince still refused to repent, Kangxi suddenly felt that there was no need to persuade him. It would be redundant to say more to such a person, as he did not think he was wrong at all.
It's a pity for grandson Hongxi. After the crown prince was deposed, he no longer has the noble status of a prince. I'm afraid he can only be a commoner in the future.
"Your Highness, are you worried that even if you plead guilty, Prince Hongxi will be implicated? No, the Emperor is a wise ruler and would not vent his anger on others.
If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor. You may not believe my words, but the emperor's words are definitely trustworthy. Have you forgotten what the emperor taught you before?"
Yinzhen looked at Mu Sili with heartache. He knew how much pressure Mu Sili, a concubine, was under to stand up and persuade the prince at this time. It was difficult for her.
He also wanted the prince to die, but it was impossible. Just as she thought, if he died at Honghui and the others' full moon banquet today, the emperor would definitely be angry, but over time, the emperor would definitely regret it.
He had been his son for more than twenty years. Although he didn't know his character very well, he understood the principle that debts would be paid off after death.
Moreover, the prince became what he is now because of him. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will hate him as much as he likes him now. How could he let such a thing happen?
"Second brother, Song is right. Since the emperor has chosen to imprison you, it is to minimize the impact of this matter. Don't you understand the emperor's painstaking efforts?
Hongxi is still young and has a bright future ahead of him. Don't ruin his life just because you're unhappy with him. My brother still remembers how excited you were when he was born. Can you bear to see him become a commoner from now on?"
The prince looked at Hongxi hesitantly again, and saw fear and heartache in his eyes. How would a child like him, who had been brought up so pampered, cope with the future if he lost his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor?
