"Get up, and tell me what you want from me. I'm telling you, your idea of going to Qingfengxuan is not feasible. Don't mention it again."
"Father, you have misunderstood me. I did not come here for this matter. I know that you do not want me to go to Qingfengxuan and disturb Niuhulu's mother, so I will not mention this matter.
It's like this, my third brother has been learning the rules in the palace for some time, and I think he knows he's wrong. Now that our mother is gone, you should take him back.
Don't worry, I will take good care of my third brother. If he does anything out of line again during the period of mourning for my mother, I will definitely send him to the palace to learn the rules for you."
"Do you really think so? Huai Ke, you are my eldest daughter. I hope you won't go astray. You know I don't like liars."
Huai Ke looked away with a guilty conscience. Even if she really had other intentions, Hongshi was his father's son, and he would definitely let him come back.
As long as he can bring Hongshi back, her plan will come true. She is only doing this for herself. If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is the truth she has just learned.
"Father, I really want my third brother to come back. He's still so young. If he stays in the palace all year round, you'll become estranged from him and his father."
Well, he would not give them and their brother the chance to hurt Mu Sili. He would have to keep this person by his side to feel at ease. Since they were in cahoots with each other, he would give them a chance.
If they gave up the intention of hurting Mu Sili, he would properly arrange their future. A princess and a prince would be their best destination.
Of course, if they were determined to attack her, then don't blame him for disregarding the father-son relationship and sending them to Buddhism to practice asceticism for the rest of their lives.
"Since you've said so, I'll have someone deliver a message to the palace. Tell Hongshi that if he continues to be as ignorant as before, I'll continue to send him to the palace."
Huai Ke was satisfied, and her helper came.
"Thank you, Father. I will take good care of my third brother. I will tell him the good news right away. I'll take my leave."
As soon as Huai Ke left, Yinzhen rubbed his forehead with a headache. This daughter was completely useless. She actually instigated her own brother to attack her stepmother.
If I had known she would become like this, I should have let her continue to be cowardly. At least at that time she would not have the courage to harm others.
That's not right. Maybe that's just her nature. She didn't expose it before because she had no one to support her. Now that she has the confidence, she will naturally expose it.
"Keep an eye on her. This daughter of mine is quite cunning. Hongshi is my son after all. I want to give him a chance before he makes a big mistake."
"yes."
When Hongshi learned that Yinzhen agreed to let him come back, he walked directly to Li's coffin and kowtowed three times.
"Mother, please wait, wait for your son to avenge you. Your son will definitely take the throne of the crown prince. Niuhulu has harmed you, and your son will not let her go."
"Third brother, Father has already sent people to the palace to pack up your things. From now on, we will depend on each other for survival. Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let anyone bully you."
"Okay, big sister, your brother will protect you too."
What Hongshi said was true. His only trustworthy sister was Huai Ke, and he was really prepared to protect her, but he didn't know that she was plotting against his life.
After the funeral at Prince Yong's mansion, Yinzhen received a piece of news that the prince was gathering people and preparing to launch a palace coup on the day Mu Sili gave birth.
Not only did he receive this news, but Kangxi also received it, so he was summoned into the palace.
"Fourth Brother, do you think I did something wrong? Why did the Crown Prince force the emperor to abdicate? I only confined him and didn't do anything to him. Is the temptation of the throne really that great?"
"Father, this topic is difficult for me to answer. After all, I am now in the battle for the throne. No matter what I say, it will be wrong. You should think about how to stop my second brother. Once he starts a coup, there will be no room for maneuver."
Kangxi knew this truth very well, but the prince did not listen to advice and thought he was right. Even if Kangxi wanted to save him, it was useless.
"I know, but that's all. Everyone has their own destiny. I can't demand that he grow up to be the way I want him to be. Maybe it's because I'm too good to him that he can't tolerate others.
You are the heir I have re-selected. I hope that after you come to the throne, you can show leniency to him and give him a way to survive. He is the legitimate son of the Empress Yuan, so it is normal for him to be a little arrogant.
If I hadn't expected too much of him, and he hadn't been so intolerant, why would I have pushed people out to challenge him? The throne was originally his."
"My second brother was murdered by a traitor. There's nothing wrong with your upbringing. Father Royal, it was you who doted on my second brother too much in the past, which is why he developed that kind of personality."
Kangxi no longer worried about this matter. What he had to do now was to use the least manpower to resolve the prince's plan to rebel. As long as this matter could be resolved perfectly, he could save the prince's life.
"You've worked with him for many years. What do you think I should do to save his life? He's too arrogant. I must make him realize that his actions are wrong."
"Ultimately, this matter is caused by the demons in Second Brother's heart. He must come out of it on his own. It would be superfluous for you to say more to him now. How about I go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
"You're right. I'm probably a bad person in his eyes now. You've been with him for many years, so you can go and test his nerves. If possible, tell him what I know about his plans."
Kangxi still valued his son, the prince, very much. Even if he did something wrong, he was still willing to give him a chance. Unfortunately, he was wrong and the prince would not admit his mistake.
"Yes, I will go to Yuqing Palace right away. However, the Emperor needs to be well prepared. My second brother may not listen to my advice. I can only do my best."
"I know. I just want to give him a chance to turn back. If he doesn't seize it, I can do nothing but leave it to fate."
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen went directly to the Yuqing Palace to find the prince. When the prince saw him, he closed the door without hesitation.
"Why, are you here to laugh at me? Fourth Brother, I never thought I trusted you so much, but you betrayed me. Are you worthy of my trust in you?"
"Second brother is wrong. It was the Emperor's father who gave me this adventure. If it weren't for the Emperor's father's willingness to give me dignity, how could I have become the legitimate son?
Since I was little, my wish has been to follow you and be a wise king, but I never expected that as I grew older, you would become more and more wary of me."
