The journey of Emperor Donghua through time

"Uncle, I have seen your hard work and I remember it in my heart." Yinreng's tone was sincere, and his deep eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and resoluteness. "But, from now on, I am afraid we have to make some adjustments to our plans."

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Do you have any new plans?" Upon hearing this, Soetu frowned slightly involuntarily. Although his heart was full of doubts, his face still maintained a respectful look.

"I have been troubled by many things in recent days. I have been thinking over many things in my mind. Finally, I have an epiphany. I don't want to focus all my energy on the fight for the throne anymore. I have other more important things to do." Yinreng's expression was firm and his eyes showed relief, but also filled with longing and expectation for the future.

"Your Highness, with all these words, do you mean to give up the position of crown prince? This... this is absolutely not feasible!" Soetu's face turned pale instantly, and he asked anxiously.

"It's not that I'm giving up, but I can only stop at the position of crown prince at best. The supreme throne...the destiny is not in my hands." Yinreng shook his head slightly, his eyes as deep as the abyss, and said solemnly.

"But what did the emperor say to Your Highness?" Suo Etu speculated secretly, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. I hope you will think carefully and weigh the pros and cons carefully!"

While he was extremely shocked, he also began to rack his brains to think about what had caused Yinreng to have such a huge change. The only thing he could think of at the moment was what Kangxi had said or done.

"It's not because of the Emperor, but because of my own feelings. I have been the Crown Prince for many years, and I am exhausted both physically and mentally." Yinreng said in a calm tone, "But you can rest assured, uncle. I am not a person who is irresponsible. I will give you a few years to deal with the follow-up matters. Whether you choose to settle the matter properly or choose a new master to assist you, you can decide for yourself."

"Your Highness, have you really thought it over and made up your mind?" Soetu asked with a serious expression and worried eyes.

"Yes." Yinreng nodded without hesitation, his tone as firm as iron, "In the next few years, I will continue to consolidate the foundation and stand firm in the former dynasty, buying you enough time to handle all matters."

"I understand," Suo Etu said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely handle everything properly and will not cause any adverse effects on Your Highness."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle." Yinreng said sincerely.

Soetu hurriedly said "I dare not", then, with a serious expression, he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Looking at his receding back, Yinreng could not help but shake his head, a helpless and slightly self-deprecating smile on his face.

In the following days, Yinreng arranged all the affairs of Yuqing Palace in an orderly manner, and gradually handed over some important matters in his hands to trustworthy confidants. Only then did he get in touch with Shiying through the communication jade pendant.

Stepping into Shiying's cave, Yinreng officially began his journey of cultivation.

In order to prevent him from being distracted during his training, Shi Ying arranged a puppet in the outside world to replace him.

The puppets would handle some trivial matters on behalf of the company, and only those extremely difficult and tough problems would be notified to Yinreng to solve them.
