The emperor's health is getting worse day by day.

The ministers in the court tried to persuade the emperor to appoint a crown prince.

How could the emperor not know what these old foxes were thinking? None of them wished him well, but instead hoped that he would be appointed as the crown prince.

There has been nothing going on in the court recently, so the emperor took a group of people to stay in Changchun Garden for a while.

Although he went to Changchun Garden, the emperor spent most of his time in bed.

The Eighth Prince and his party, under the guise of visiting the Emperor, actually wanted to know what the Emperor's current situation was.

The princes were all eyeing the throne they had been fighting for for decades.

Longkodo was summoned to Changchun Garden.

The emperor was lying on the bed, and Longkodo was kneeling beside it.

The emperor said a few words and then stopped to rest for a while.

The imperial physician stood by, fearing that anything unexpected might happen.

"Longkodo, you are the person I trust the most, so you have to do this."

Longkodo was so frightened that he was sweating.

The emperor's tone sounded like he was giving instructions for what to do after his death.

The emperor pointed to the box on the table, and Longkodo looked in the direction of his finger.

"Have you taken a good look?" The emperor's question made Longkodo a little unsure of how to answer.

His voice was trembling: "Minister, I see it clearly."

"The inheritance of the Qing throne is in it. Now you should put it behind the plaque of 'Zhengda Guangming'." The emperor's voice was particularly loud when he said this.

Longkodo knew what was in the box so he didn't dare to be negligent. He held it in his arms with both hands and didn't dare to relax at all.

As soon as Longkodo left, Yinzhen took Yinzhen to Changchun Garden.

Hongli missed his grandfather.

As soon as he entered the room, Hongli ran to the bed.

The emperor no longer had the energy to play with Hongli like before, and could only sit up and look at Hongli.

Yinzhen once reminded Hongli at home not to speak nonsense.

Hongli was much quieter today. He was sitting beside the bed and giving the emperor a massage to relax him.

The imperial physician boiled the medicine and handed it to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen picked up the spoon, blew on it gently, and fed it to his father.

After the emperor drank it, Hongli asked softly, "Is it bitter, Grandpa?"

He touched Hongli's head and said, "With Li'er by your side, your life will not be hard."

It was almost time, and Yinzhen didn't want to disturb his father's rest, so he took Hongli back to the palace.

Deyin has been a little worried these days.

December 22, the 61st year of the Kangxi reign, is getting closer and closer.

Others don’t know this day, but Deyin knows it.

The imperial city is currently full of dangers, and everyone is eyeing that position.

The Fourteenth Prince is far away from the capital, and the Eighth Prince and his party will not give up that opportunity.

The current generals of the Infantry Commander's Office all obey Lao Ba's party, and they will support Lao Ba as long as Yinsi gives the order.

Mr. Wu has been staying with Yinzhen these days.

Many of the Thirteenth Prince's brothers who had been through life and death together are now serving as commanders in the Fengtai camp.

Yinxiang's prestige in the army was unmatched.

As long as Yinxiang showed up, all the imperial guards in the capital would be under his command.

Mr. Wu planned everything for Yinzhen and made thorough preparations.

Ling An has been guarding Yinzhen's side these days, never leaving his side.

The entire imperial city seemed to be waiting for a crisis to come.

At night, heavy snow fell.

A layer of snow had already accumulated in Prince Yong's mansion.

Just as Yinzhen was about to return to the Qinzheng Hall, Su Peisheng rushed over.

Deyin was shocked, but she pretended to be calm and didn't dare show any panic.

"Master, Brother Zhang Lin wants to see you."

Brother Zhang Lin, the commander of the imperial guards, has been guarding outside Changchun Garden these days.

Coming to his house so late must be related to the Emperor.

The thought that flashed through Yinzhen's mind instantly made him run to the gate of the mansion immediately.

"In accordance with the emperor's order, escort Prince Yong into Changchun Garden." As soon as Yinzhen opened the door, Zhang Linge's voice echoed in front of him.

Deyin held Yinzhen's hand, and the two stood facing each other without saying a word.

Heavy snow fell on Yinzhen's head, one flake after another.

Deyin watched Yinzhen's receding back and stood in the snow with Mr. Wu, refusing to leave.

Along the way, Yinzhen was worried that the incident at Xuanwu Gate would happen to him again.

Fortunately, with Brother Zhang Lin by my side, we arrived safely at Changchun Garden.

When Yinzhen arrived, many princes were already kneeling outside the door.

The emperor asked Liang Jiugong to bring Yinzhen in alone.

By this time, Yinzhen had already understood the emperor's meaning.

Looking at the emperor's dying father on the bed, Yinzhen knelt down to the bedside and snuggled up to the emperor.

"Zhen'er, come closer. We haven't talked like this in a long time."

Yinzhen held the emperor's hand and couldn't stop crying.

The emperor raised his hand and tremblingly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"How can a future king shed tears easily?"

Yinzhen felt even more reluctant to hear these words coming from the emperor's own mouth.

He had thought about it seriously that day.

But now, looking at his father lying on the bed, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Lao Ba and Lao Jiu were getting a little impatient waiting outside.

Those who are making a fuss outside are all the emperor's sons, why is only the fourth son seen?

Inside the house, the emperor said everything he wanted to tell Yinzhen, and then asked Liang Jiugong to call everyone else in.

As soon as the brothers came in, they were very sad.

The eighth brother couldn't help it and asked directly what to do with the emperor's throne.

The emperor looked at Yinzhen and used all his strength to say, "Pass the throne to the fourth prince Yinzhen."

When Lao Ba and his gang heard the name, their faces instantly darkened.

"Your Majesty, to whom do you want to pass the throne?"

Lao Ba deliberately spoke loudly.

The emperor felt his heart tighten when he saw Yinsi like this, and raised his hand to scold him.

But he really didn't have the strength, and his hand fell down again as soon as he raised it.

"The throne will be passed on to the fourth prince, Yinzhen." After saying this, the emperor fell silent.

The imperial physician standing by felt the emperor's breath and shook his head at the princes.

Little Twenty-one, who was kneeling in the front row and was only a few years old, burst into tears.

"Did you hear clearly who the emperor said he would pass the throne to?" The eighth brother's voice drowned out the crying.

"I heard it clearly. The throne will be passed to the Fourth Prince."

"I heard it clearly too. The throne will be passed to the Fourth Prince."

The Seventeenth Prince immediately agreed.

The ninth prince at the side couldn't help but said: "Bullshit, it's obviously passing the throne to the fourteenth prince."

The few people were arguing and everyone turned their eyes to Longkodo.

"The emperor has already put the matter of succession to the throne behind the plaque of 'Zhengda Guangming'. I will go and get it immediately." Longkodo turned around and went to the Forbidden City.

The Eighth Brothers' faction was pressing forward, and Zhang Linge couldn't stand it any longer, so he took Yinzhen away to rest.

The throne is right in front of us, who wouldn’t want to fight for it?

The imperial guards surrounded Changchun Garden, and no one in the house was allowed to take a step out.

When Longkodo went to the Forbidden City, he deliberately slowed down his pace.

He was betting on whose troops would arrive at Changchun Garden first.

When Yinxiang rushed to the Fengtai camp, all the generals under his command swore allegiance to him until death.

All of Lao Jiu's people defected.

The Thirteenth Prince led his troops to surround Changchun Garden and rushed into the house to see his father for the last time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Longkodo walked in with the imperial edict.

"Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, is a man of noble character and very much like me. He will surely be able to inherit the throne."

As soon as Longkodo finished reading, everyone except Lao Ba and his party began to kneel down and kowtow to Yinzhen.

Longkodo held the imperial edict and looked at the Eighth Prince and his party who refused to kneel and said: "Gentlemen, don't you want to be our subjects?"

Yinsi was so shocked by this that he didn't know how to respond and knelt down reluctantly.

When the ninth and tenth brothers saw that Eighth Brother had knelt down, they also knelt down.

That night, the princes stayed in Changchun Garden to keep watch.

There were soldiers guarding outside, and except for Yinzhen who could move around freely, everyone else had to stay in the house.

Despite the blizzard, Yinzhen returned to the palace to see Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu returned to his room, where the lights were on, and he was waiting for Yinzhen.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have achieved what you wished for." This was the first thing Mr. Wu said when he saw Yinzhen.

Mr. Wu had said before that he wanted to retire, and now that things have been settled it is time for him to leave.

Yinzhen tried to retain him several times, wanting to give him a position in the court.

But he was still rejected by Mr. Wu.

As a last resort, Yinzhen did not want to force it, so he agreed to Mr. Wu's request.

The seventeenth brother originally wanted to help his fourth brother get rid of Mr. Wu, but his fourth brother remembered their old friendship.

Seventeen couldn't act on his own anymore.

Yinzhen entered the palace early in the morning. Now that the emperor has passed away, the country must be left without anyone in charge.

Yinzhen's throne was passed down personally by Kangxi, and no one dared to object.

Lao Ba and his people will never amount to anything.

In Prince Yong's mansion, Su Peisheng arrived at Qingyin Pavilion early in the morning.

"Your servant respectfully welcomes all the masters into the palace."

The concubines and princesses were all paying their respects in Qingyin Pavilion. Since everyone was there, Su Peisheng didn't have to make several trips.

"It's done," the stone in Deyin's heart finally fell.

When the others heard about entering the palace, they were stunned, and it took them a while to react.

Except for Deyin, the others were immersed in the joy of becoming masters in the palace.
