The crown prince was deposed, and the crown prince's family was more or less implicated. The crown princess's sister was Yinxiang's concubine, and Shen Jiaxu was a little worried that the Thirteenth Prince would be implicated.

No one could predict what would happen during this period of time, and Deyin could only ask her to relax, as the emperor's will was unpredictable.

The eldest prince Yinzhi felt that he should inherit the throne of crown prince, so he wrote to Kangxi to ask for the killing of Yinreng. Kangxi was furious and stopped Yinreng from ruling the Eastern Palace.

Yinzhi was so angry that he found a few gangsters to hide in his mansion and cast a curse on the prince.

The spy that the Third Prince had planted in Yinzhi's mansion spread the news that he had secretly hidden a lama in the mansion to bewitch the Crown Prince. As the eldest son was the heir, the eldest prince was undoubtedly the biggest threat to him now. With the evidence that he cursed the Crown Prince, the problem was solved.

The third prince revealed to Kangxi that the eldest prince Yinzhi had bewitched the crown prince. Kangxi immediately sent someone to capture the eldest prince red-handed, and the eldest prince was convicted and unable to defend himself.

Kangxi ordered Yinzhi to be imprisoned and await his fate. Concubine Hui, who doted on the eldest prince, did not plead with the emperor this time. Instead, she cried and begged the emperor to sentence him to death.

Concubine Hui did not intend to kill the eldest prince. She was not as favored as the newcomers in the palace, but she knew Kangxi's heart very well. Kangxi did not want Yinzhi's life, but just wanted him to be more obedient. Concubine Hui gave Kangxi a way out, and Yinzhi ended up being trapped in a circle.

The eldest prince was eliminated and completely lost the chance to inherit the throne.

The ninth and tenth brothers applauded and cheered, and they all hoped that the eighth brother could become the crown prince as soon as possible.

After Kangxi's morning court session, Yinxiang stayed in the palace. Thirteenth Emperor had not been alone with his father for a long time. Looking at the man in front of him who was both his father and the king, Yinxiang felt a little restrained and kept standing in the palace.

Kangxi slowly walked down from the dragon throne to the side of the Thirteenth Emperor and dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. He looked carefully at Yinxiang in front of him and said, "Now it's just you and me. Yinxiang, tell me what is the most important thing for an emperor?"

Yinzhen was frightened by the question raised by his father and was a little dazed. He suppressed the panic in his heart and said, "Your son dare not speak nonsense. Your father is in his prime. For the sake of the country, he should take good care of his health."

Kangxi looked at the Thirteenth Brother in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and told him to relax, and just treat it as a conversation between father and son.

"Today there is no king or subject here, only father and son."

The Thirteenth Old Man bowed slightly and saluted before repeating his previous answer: "I believe that to be a king, one must first be kind and then be diligent."

Kangxi nodded and continued: "Do you want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"

Yinxiang looked at the depth in his father's eyes, which was like an abyss of coldness with no bottom to it.

"I am terrified. I do not want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I have never had such an idea. I only hope that the Qing Dynasty can have peace and prosperity, and the people can live in peace and prosperity."

"Don't be nervous. I've already said that today's just a conversation between father and son."

Yinxiang came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before he came to his senses. Yinzhen was waiting for him at the palace gate. Today, Empress Defei sent someone to tell them that the two brothers should go to the Yonghe Palace for a small gathering. It was rare that Thirteenth Brother also went today.

On the way to Yonghe Palace, Yinxiang told his fourth brother all the questions that the Emperor had asked him today. Yinzhen knew what the Emperor meant, but he did not expect that the Emperor would ask the Thirteenth Prince who did not care about the throne.

The Fourteenth Prince was also in the Yonghe Palace. He had been very close to the Eighth Prince's party recently. When the Thirteenth Prince saw him, there was some hostility on his face. Yinzhen, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly to tell him not to be too obvious.

Concubine De knew what had happened in the court recently, and the last thing she wanted to see was the children she had raised from childhood ending up killing each other. She had called them here today so that they could sit down and have a good talk.

Concubine De has always liked the Fourteenth Prince more, and everyone in the palace can see that, and the Ninth Prince is taking advantage of this to win over the Fourteenth Prince to the Eighth Prince's faction, in order to sow discord between the two brothers.

With Concubine De here today, everything was fine and nothing happened. Thirteen also listened to his fourth brother's words and controlled his temper.
