Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Suo Etu fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have done many inappropriate things in the past. I acted arrogantly, rode beyond the limit, took bribes and violated the law, and made irresponsible comments on state affairs. But these things have nothing to do with the prince. He just thinks of me as his great uncle and has some respect for me."

Emperor Kangxi did not expect that at this critical juncture, Soetu still protected Yinreng.

If they were not together to plot against his throne, he would have been somewhat moved.

However, Soetu never mentioned the matter of seizing the throne in the end.

Suo Etu looked at Kangxi and said, "I have never instigated the prince to seize the throne. I am with the prince only because he misses his mother and I miss my niece."

When Kangxi heard Soetu mention Empress Hesheli, a trace of pity appeared on his face.

Queen Hesheli was the love of his life.

Otherwise, why would he be so good to Yinreng and value Soltu so much?

He knew that Soltu mentioned Queen Hesheli at this time to ask him not to pursue the prince's fault.

"I will not vent my anger on Baocheng. He was just deceived by you. He is still my good son."

Soetu thanked the emperor for his grace.

"Your Majesty, I feel relieved. Your Majesty and I have been king and minister. We have talked all night long and fought together. It is my fault that things have come to this. I dare not ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. I only ask Your Majesty to give me a quick death."

When he said this, Soetu himself didn't know how much truth and falsehood there was in his words.

But when he talked about his past with Emperor Kangxi, he burst into tears.

Emperor Kangxi said: "You don't take me seriously, but I can't forget your contribution to the Qing Dynasty. I won't kill you on the spot, but I can't let you go easily either."

Emperor Kangxi closed his eyes and said, "Come here, take Hesheli Suo'etu to the clan house and put him in nine chains. He cannot leave without the emperor's order."

Although Emperor Kangxi did not execute him immediately, how could he have a good end with those chains weighing five pounds each on his body?

Soetu found out that the emperor did not care about their relationship as monarch and subject. He hated him so much and was afraid of him that he wanted to kill him.

Soetu wanted to say something to Emperor Kangxi, but in the end he just thanked the emperor again for his grace.

He went to the clan house on his own without being escorted.

-----------------

The news that Suo Luotu was sent to the clan residence soon spread to the East Palace. Yinreng swept everything on the table to the ground and asked, "Why would the emperor treat my uncle like this?"

"I heard that it was Gao Shiqi who impeached him."

Yinreng had been ill these days and had not attended court, so his subordinates had not had time to report to him what had happened this morning. Unexpectedly, Emperor Kangxi acted so quickly that he had imprisoned Soetu in the clan house in just half a day.

After hearing the charges that Gao Shiqi had accused him of, Yinreng realized that Gao Shiqi was clearly trying to say that the two of them were conspiring to seize the throne.

Yinreng's mind was complicated and full of ups and downs at this time.

His eyes widened when he heard the emperor's punishment for Soltu.

"Father, you might as well give my uncle a quick death. This slow torture is clearly done for me to see!"

"My uncle is old, how can he endure such torture? The emperor clearly wants my uncle to die in agony!"

After he said this, he felt cold all over.

Yinreng's worry about his great-uncle turned into complete panic.

Since the Emperor has already taken action against his great-uncle, how can we be sure that he will not depose his position as Crown Prince?

Yinreng wanted to go to the clan house to see Soetu, but he didn't dare to take that step.

His eyes were red and he felt fear and resentment in his heart.

Emperor Kangxi was his father, and Soetu was the person closest to him.

Yinreng waited anxiously in the East Palace for a whole day, but did not receive any order from Emperor Kangxi.

He knew in his heart that his royal father had no intention of taking action against him.

The fear gradually subsided.

A tremendous hatred arose in his heart, as he grew up under the care of his great uncle.

He had admiration for Emperor Kangxi, and the same was true for Soetu.

But the two elders he respected most in the world ended up in such a situation.

"Gao Shiqi, it's Gao Shiqi."

Yinreng knew that Soetu had insulted and despised Gao Shiqi in the past.

But his great-uncle had already resigned from office two years ago. Why should Gao Shiqi bring up this old matter again?

"I want to go see my great uncle."

The people around Yinreng quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, you must not do that now. The Emperor is angry. If you go to see Lord Suo'etu now, I'm afraid the Emperor will vent his anger on you."

"Do you want me to watch my uncle starve to death in Zongren Mansion?"

The subordinate said, "After all, the emperor did not directly ask for Lord Suo Etu's life. This matter may turn out to be a good thing in the future."

Yinreng was pacified.

"You must find a way to take care of it. Don't let the jailers neglect my uncle. Even though he is now a prisoner, the things he did for the Qing Dynasty and his contributions to the Qing Dynasty cannot be erased."

"Here, I'll figure out a solution."

-----------------

Emperor Kangxi's handling of Soetu was swift and silent, but Yinzhen soon found out.

"This time, big brother's move was fast and accurate."

After being reminded by Yixiu, Yinzhen had been paying attention to Soetu for a long time, and naturally discovered that Gao Shiqi was collecting evidence of his evil deeds.

"Gao Shiqi is deeply trusted by the Emperor, but I didn't expect that he is actually my brother's man."

When Yixiu heard what Yinzhen said, she felt that Gao Shiqi was a very smart person.

"Gao Shiqi may not be my brother's man. He is extremely sinister and selfish, good at scheming, and has a lot of knowledge. The emperor, Suo Luotu, and Lord Nalan Mingzhu all thought he was their man, and instead relaxed their vigilance against him."

As Yixiu spoke, she told Yinzhen some of the stories she had heard.

When Yinzhen heard this, he believed it to be true.

The emperor thought Gao Shiqi was a wise and knowledgeable minister, so he favored him so much.

"I didn't expect you to see it so clearly."

Yinzhen was a little surprised, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
