An imperial decree has come from the palace, asking the Fourth Master to come to the palace immediately.

The emperor invited him, and Yinzhen was sweating in his heart.

He didn't dare delay too long and immediately asked Ling An to bring the horse over.

The eunuch took him to the Qianqing Palace.

There was no time for Yinzhen to think, as the eunuch immediately went in to report the situation.

As soon as he entered the door, Kangxi sat upright on the dragon throne in the main hall.

There was no one else in the hall except the two of them, father and son.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor." After paying his respects, Yinzhen stood aside, lowered his head and said nothing.

Kangxi waved to Yinzhen and motioned him to come forward.

Yinzhen stopped at the bottom of the stairs.

Kangxi hooked his finger and motioned him to move forward.

This time, Yinzhen walked straight up to him and knelt down.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen for a long time before he spoke: "Fourth brother, I heard that there is a counselor in your house named Wu Sidao?"

Yinzhen's heart tightened, and he replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person. Mr. Wu is resourceful and can be of great help to me."

"Oh? Then can you tell me what he did to help you?"

After Yinzhen kowtowed, he was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Wu often analyzes the situation for me and provides good advice. In dealing with government affairs, his suggestions often hit the nail on the head and benefit me a lot." Kangxi nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Why don't you recommend such a talented person to the court?" Kangxi asked slowly.

Yinzhen quickly replied: "Mr. Wu is indifferent by nature, does not like court disputes, and would rather assist his son."

After saying this, Yinzhen did not forget to look up at the emperor's father's expression.

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Well, in that case, I'll keep it in your house."

"The Emperor asked me to come here today. I wonder what else is going on?" Yinzhen thought about it carefully and felt that the Emperor couldn't have asked him to come to the palace just for Wu Sidao.

Kangxi stood up and helped Yinzhen up.

He patted Yinzhen on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Fourth brother, I am now a little overwhelmed. The future of the Qing Dynasty still depends on you princes."

Yinzhen was shocked and knelt down and kowtowed immediately: "Your Majesty is in his prime, how can you say that you are unable to do what you want? I will keep your teachings in mind and do my best to share your worries and serve the Qing Dynasty."

Kangxi nodded and continued, "I know you have always been loyal, but the hearts of people in the court are unpredictable. You need to be careful at all times."

"I understand, thank you Your Majesty for your advice."

Kangxi helped Yinzhen up and said, "Get up. If you have anything to discuss in the future, please consult me."

Yinzhen retreated respectfully, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

What did the emperor mean by this? Was he hinting that he had a chance to inherit the throne, or was he simply giving him instructions?

Now the Thirteenth Brother is still imprisoned in the mansion.

He has to face many things alone.

I don’t know how Yinxiang is doing in the mansion. Such a proud man has his wings trapped now.

Without Thirteen around, Eighth Master and his gang found the right opportunity and started to win over connections everywhere.

After leaving the palace, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the mansion, Yinzhen immediately summoned Wu Sidao.

The two discussed for a long time and decided to secretly investigate the movements of the Eighth Prince's party while looking for opportunities to rescue Yinxiang.

The Thirteenth Master's mansion invited an imperial physician today, saying that the Thirteenth Lady had caught a cold.

After Yinzhen learned the news, he asked Ling An to stop the imperial physician in advance.

Doctor Luo was originally promoted by Yinzhen, and he always remembered Yinzhen's kindness.

He would naturally meet all the requests made by Yinzhen.

The Thirteenth Master's mansion is guarded by guards personally appointed by the Emperor, so it is very difficult to get in.

Fortunately, Wu Sidao knew the art of disguise, and he allowed Yinzhen to disguise himself as Doctor Luo's follower and sneak in.

After entering the mansion, Yinzhen came to the Thirteenth Prince's room.

Seeing that the once energetic Thirteenth Prince has now become much thinner, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Fourth brother...", Thirteenth Prince hesitated to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say."

"Has the Emperor... given up on me completely?", the Thirteenth Prince's eyes were dim.

Yinzhen quickly comforted him, "Don't let your imagination run wild. The Emperor just wants you to reflect on yourself."

"But... I was really wronged...", the Thirteenth Prince said excitedly.

"Fourth brother, you all know about this. I will make sure to get to the bottom of this matter. You just need to take good care of your health and don't underestimate yourself. Leave the rest to me." Yinzhen patted Thirteenth Prince's shoulder.

After leaving the Thirteen Mansions, Yinzhen was in a heavy mood.

Those words he just said were all to comfort Prince Thirteen. No one dared to speculate what the emperor was thinking.

Ever since Deyin learned that the Thirteenth Master was imprisoned, she began to worry about Yinzhen.

This incident was a big blow to him.

Without people supporting him around him, Deyin couldn’t help him either.

The only thing that can be done is to take good care of Hongli and manage the palace for him.

So that he has no worries.
