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

Yinsi's palace was next to Prince Yong's palace, so he naturally knew exactly what was going on inside.

He had long been fed up with the hypocritical and enchanting woman beside his fourth brother, but his fourth brother liked her. Now his fourth sister-in-law has finally dealt with her.

Just thinking about the reason for dealing with it, Yinsi's eyes sank.

Now the fourth brother has become a popular figure around the prince. It seems that his approach is correct and the emperor does not really want to depose Yinreng.

He really should have listened to Yinzhen's advice at the beginning.

However, because of this incident, his reflection on his mistakes finally came to an end.

Alinga came to his house as soon as possible.

"Master Ba, I think there is still hope for this matter."

Yinsi wanted to laugh, but he only pulled the corners of his mouth, "The emperor's feelings for my second brother are already very clear, what do you want me to fight for? Where is your turning point?"

Alinga said: "Does the Eighth Master really think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have smooth sailing in the future? I don't think so."

"how do I say this?"

"Yinreng has been the crown prince for many years, and he is not young anymore. Firstly, he is anxious. Secondly, do you really think that he will be free of grudges if the emperor kills Soetu?"

"Soetu's death will always be a thorn between the crown prince and the emperor."

Alinga stroked his beard and said, "Master Ba, we haven't lost yet. We still have a chance."

But Yinsi was not as resolute as before.

He felt that perhaps fighting for the position of crown prince was a mistake in itself.

As if seeing Yinsi's hesitation, Aling said, "Your Highness, now everyone is following you with all their heart. You must not back down, otherwise how will you explain to everyone?"

Although what Alinga said was a bit threatening, Yinsi had to admit that he was right.

"Even if we have to do it, we shouldn't do it now."

"The Emperor and my second brother have just reconciled. If we rush in headfirst, it will only have the opposite effect."

Alinga sighed, "How long do we have to wait like this?"

"Even if I can wait, Orondai can't. You know his temper. He was demoted from the position of Minister of the Imperial Guard a few years ago, and now he is holding a grudge and always wants to do something to shut up those colleagues who used to laugh at him."

Alinga observed Yinsi's expression and said, "I have tried to comfort him several times, but he didn't listen. If I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have come here too today."

When Yinsi thought about the people following him, he really got a headache.

"Master Ba, why don't I call them all here and we can discuss it again and come up with a time and method, so that people won't panic and have more troubles at night."

"This can be regarded as a reassurance for them."

Seeing that he could not refuse, Yinsi had to discuss it with Alinga.

He thought that he would agree to it first, and then use the strategy of procrastination, and maybe things would get better slowly.

Aling said, "By the way, since the eldest prince fell from power, Nalan Kuixu, who followed him, has come to see me several times. From what he said, he wants to support the eighth prince."

Yinsi thought to himself, please don’t let any more people come.

"I have already agreed on behalf of Master Ba."

"Nalan Kuixu is quite capable, and he has some old acquaintances in the Imperial Household. We can observe the emperor's every move through him."

Yinsi: ...

After much persuasion, he finally managed to calm Alinga down temporarily.

After he left, Yinsi thought about it and went to Prince Yong's mansion next door.

At this time, Yinzhen had a calm face and did not feel the slightest bit of sadness for losing a favorite concubine.

He was very happy to see Yinsi coming to see him.

"Yinsi."

Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng to bring the wine quickly.

Ever since Yinsi decided to seize the throne, the two of them have been drifting apart.

He has been under house arrest for this period of time, so I'm afraid he has thought it through.

He was happy to think that the two of them could sit down peacefully today.

After a while, good wine and delicious food were ready.

"We two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. Today we have to have a good chat."

The two of them seemed to have returned to the way they were in the palace before. Although their schoolwork was heavy, they could still chat all night long.

You and I drank one cup each, and after a few rounds, the sky darkened and they became a little tipsy.

Under the influence of alcohol, Yinsi saw Yinzhen and suddenly asked a question.

"Fourth brother, why are you trying to persuade the Emperor? Don't you know that the brothers below are all looking forward to this day? Only when Yinreng is gone can we have a chance to come forward."

"Even if you don't persuade the Emperor, I'm afraid that after a while, the Emperor will bring up this matter himself."

"Fourth brother, do you really support Yinreng so much? Don't you want to try it yourself?"

Yinzhen asked, "Yinsi, have you... have you been grounded for a while and your mind is a little confused?"

Yinsi: ????

"How dare you say such treasonous words? This is not a question of whether you or I want to or not, but a question that the Emperor needs to consider."

"Yinsi, I advise you not to think too much."

Yinzhen thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor knows who to appoint and who should be appointed. He is not confused. If you and I jump up and down, it will annoy him."

"You'd better take care of the people under you."

"Haven't you had enough of the lesson I taught you a while ago?"

Hearing Yinzhen's advice, Yinsi smiled bitterly.

Yes, Yinzhen was right. At that time, he was very proud and arranged for everyone to nominate himself as the crown prince, but what was the result?

"Fourth brother, to be honest, I don't know if you believe it or not, but I no longer have that thought," Yinsi drank the wine in one gulp. "I used to think I was smart, and wondered how I was inferior to Yinreng. Now I know that I am not even as good as fourth brother."

Yinzhen was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know whether Yinsi was praising him or scolding him.

"But, I have already moved forward on this road, and I can't go back." Yinsi was a little melancholy.

"There are so many people following me. If I don't move forward, they will be disappointed. I feel like I'm on fire. There are too many people following me. If I step back, everyone will fall into the abyss."

Yinzhen was stunned. He didn't expect Yinsi to say such true words to him.

"Those people would have had a better future if they followed Yinreng, and they could have also sought a future for their families. But what can they gain by following a fallen prince like me?"

A "川" character appeared between Yinzhen's eyebrows, and he said in a cold tone: "But if I fail to follow you, wouldn't I lose my life and property?"

Yinsi: I am speechless.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

From the perspective of an outsider like Yinzhen, the excuses given by Yinsi were simply because he was still unwilling to give up.

Although Yinzhen had made his words very clear, he knew that his brothers would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

After returning to his residence, Yinzhen thought about it and decided to call Yixiu to discuss countermeasures.

"Since we can't persuade Yinsi, why don't we start with the people who follow him?"

After listening to Yinzhen's retelling, Yixiu blurted out.

"What do you mean?" Yinzhen was also a smart man, but his experience in this life was less than Yixiu's.

Hearing Yixiu say this, he immediately reacted:

"Xiaoyi is right." Yinzhen said, "This time Yinsi's punishment is a good opportunity. I will try to spread more rumors and make everyone feel that Yinsi is no longer worthy of consideration."

"Then how do you plan to arrange for these people to be released?"

"The core personnel will be carefully hidden. If the people working below are found out by any clues..."

After thinking for a while, Yinzhen and Yixiu suddenly said in unison: "Brother is still alive!"

Once the strategy is agreed upon, all that remains is execution.

When it comes to the actual execution, Yixiu can only do so much to help, as she cannot get her hands on the power of the court. However, when it comes to spreading the word in the market, there is no better place than cousin Jinghua's teahouse.

After all, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

There are so many princes and nobles now, no matter what, Kangxi would not choose a person who is criticized by the people as the crown prince.

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

"Fourth Prince, please wait a moment."

After the morning court session that day, a voice came from behind. Yinzhen turned around.

The voice stopped everyone from walking out, and everyone looked at the person who was shouting. It turned out to be a minister who followed Yinsi in the past.

"Excuse me, Lord Li, what can I do for you?" Yinzhen stopped and turned to ask.

"I don't have anything important to say, but I was thinking that the Eighth Prince was under house arrest a few days ago and was unable to attend court today. The Eighth Prince and Prince Yong's residences happen to be close to each other, so I wanted to ask the prince if he knows any news?"

The man spoke in a loud voice, as if he sensed the gazes of the people around him, and quickly explained: "I was just chatting with the prince. After all, I once worked under the Eighth Prince, and he helped me a lot. I will never forget his kindness... Please don't be offended, Your Majesty."

"No, no." Yinzhen looked at the person in front of him meaningfully and said, "Lord Li has not forgotten the past. He is a man of great affection and righteousness. I admire him. But..."

Yinzhen looked embarrassed, and he obviously didn't know how to start. He pondered for a moment before finally speaking: "I did go to visit my eighth brother, but Lord Li, I want to tell you something about my eighth brother's situation in private. You must not tell anyone else, otherwise it will be bad for my eighth brother..."

Lord Li understood and leaned forward to listen in front of Yinzhen.

Almost everyone present believed that Lord Li was truly worried about Yinsi.

After all, Lord Li not only served as an official under Yinsi, but his own son was also sentenced to death for manslaughter.

Fortunately, Yinsi pleaded for mercy, and not only was his life saved, he was not even exiled. He was only given a few symbolic beatings, and Yinsi released the man.

Therefore, among those who supported Yinsi in the past few days, Lord Li was particularly hard-working.

Both publicly and privately, Lord Li was really anxious and angry because Yinsi was under house arrest, and he saw blisters forming at the corners of his mouth.

"Is what the prince said serious?"

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Lord Li was obviously surprised. Then he looked at Yinzhen, sighed and said goodbye, shaking his head and waving his hands along the way as he continued to walk out of the palace.

As Lord Li walked down a few steps, he heard voices of discussion behind him.

"This Lord Li is really pitiful. He was just trying to repay a favor, but he ended up repaying the wrong person. Alas..."

"I don't think so. Although the Eighth Master was punished with house arrest a few days ago, he was neither stripped of his title nor taken away from his real power. Even the time of house arrest was not long. If the Eighth Master continues to work hard, maybe the emperor will still use him."

The sound of discussion was like flying insects in summer, flying all the way out from the Forbidden City, and soon similar sounds could be heard in every corner of the capital.

By the time we arrived at the Heshun Teahouse, the discussions seemed to have come to an end.

The results were also divided into two types.

Half of the people had given up hope on Yinsi and even started looking for ways to curry favor with Yinreng. The other half felt that Yinsi had already taken the first step and that the only option was to burn his boats.

Otherwise, not only Yinsi, but also these supporters will be liquidated by the prince in the future.

These people's ideas are the same as Yinsi's.

Although they no longer publicly expressed their support and praised Yinsi to Emperor Kangxi, they actually communicated with Yinsi more frequently in secret.

They have to work hard quietly and then surprise everyone.

These people who are destined to be abandoned are still fantasizing at this time.

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

In addition to Yinzhen, the ninth prince Yinlu was also paying attention to Yinsi.

He once treated Yinsi as his own brother, but he watched as Yinsi began to become closer and closer to Yinzhen and neglected him.

Yinzhen also heard the noise coming from Heshun Teahouse.

Yinzhen saw it clearly this time. It was obvious that someone was secretly instigating this.

What bad situation, there is no hope? It is obvious that they just want to alienate the relationship between Yinsi and his confidants.

He had used this tactic on Yinzhen many years ago.

But ever since the Ninth Prince gradually began to think about vying for the throne at the suggestion of his mother, Concubine Yi, Yinlang had no intention of telling Yinzhen.

My mother is right. Only pedantic Han people would be obsessed with the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and in the end they would even lose their own kingdom.

The Manchus have always only looked at real talent and knowledge.

Therefore, after Yinsi was put under house arrest, he only went to his house to greet him symbolically. Yinsi did not open the door, and he did not want to waste any more words.

Later, through the conversation between Lord Li and Yinzhen, Yin'er realized that the door that was not opened to him was opened for Yinzhen by Yinsi.

He felt lost but also somewhat relieved.

Look, my dear, it’s not that I want to compete with you, it’s because you have never really considered me a brother.

Yinzhen was talking to himself silently in his heart.

Naturally, the news in Yinsi's mansion was also passed on to Yinzhen through Su Peisheng.

Yinzhen shook his head. This eighth brother was digging his own grave and no one could stop him.
