The scene was completely silent. The prince looked even more flustered than when he was framed for the Haidongqing incident. He subconsciously avoided Kangxi's sight.

Kangxi, the child he raised, could tell at a glance that the prince was guilty, so he really kept the dragon robe secretly.

After coming to this conclusion, Kangxi suddenly staggered and almost fell down.

"emperor!"

Shi Nanxi quickly stood up and supported him in time. Kangxi pointed at the prince, his hands shaking.

"Rebellious son, rebellious son! How dare you secretly hide the dragon robe and wear it? You are hoping that I will die soon so that you can take the throne!"

These words were like a thunderbolt in a clear sky. The prince looked up suddenly and said in horror:

"Father, I dare not. I do not wish you to die soon!"

At this moment, the other princes were shocked and full of thoughts in their minds. The eldest prince, who had always been dissatisfied with the crown prince, had a strange look in his eyes and he stood up impatiently.

He first looked at his own father anxiously, and said:

"Are you okay, Father Huang?"

Then he pointed at the prince angrily:

"My second brother, today is the happy day of the Emperor's 52nd birthday. Not to mention the Hai Dongqing who was dying because of you, you actually dared to secretly hide the dragon robe and put it on. What is your intention? Do you really want to piss off the Emperor to death?"

The next moment, the Eighth Prince also stood up. He frowned and looked at the Emperor worriedly. Then he disapproved and said to the Crown Prince:

"Brother Crown Prince, how could you hurt the Emperor's heart like this, considering that he loves and cares for you so much?"

The Third Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince also pretended to care about Kangxi, but in fact they were trying to take advantage of the Crown Prince.

The Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, the Twelfth Prince and others only comforted Kangxi and said that they did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the Crown Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince also wanted to speak but was signaled by the Fourth Prince to shut up. Then the Fourth Prince whispered to Su Peisheng to call the imperial physician.

When Yin Yi saw that his father was about to fall, he subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but his own mother signaled him not to move.

Shi Nanxi had a premonition that there would be more trouble today. With her on Kangxi's side, Yin Yi's presence might cause misunderstandings.

Kangxi's anger was rising rapidly. He stared at the prince and said coldly, word by word:

"Someone, go to Yuqing Palace and search it, and bring me the dragon robe!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The imperial guards outside the gate lined up and responded by leading the team to Yuqing Palace. The guards at the gate of Yuqing Palace felt their legs weakened instantly when they saw so many imperial guards with swords in front of the emperor. They wanted to say something, but were ruthlessly pushed away.

Afterwards, the Yuqing Palace, which had once enjoyed a high and special status, was turned upside down.

Everyone in Yuqing Palace was in a panic, terrified, and they didn't know how long it had been before someone said, "We've found it." The leading imperial guard walked over, saw the bright yellow dragon robe, and immediately withdrew his troops:

"take away."

Soon the imperial guards left quickly, and the palace servants collapsed to the ground looking at the messy Yuqing Palace, their eyes full of fear, as if a disaster was about to happen.

On the other side, the Qianqing Palace was as quiet as a cold pond. Everyone was waiting for the imperial guards to return. The prince's party was in a panic at this time, praying in their hearts that the matter of hiding the dragon robe was false and did not happen at all, and that it was the Ninth Prince who framed the prince. In this way, they would not have to worry about being implicated.

The prince in question was now lying on the ground, his face sullen. At this moment, the leader of the imperial guards came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, the dragon robe has been found."

As soon as these words were spoken, the palace became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The prince looked up suddenly and saw two guards carefully walking in with a dragon robe in their hands. He closed his eyes, knowing that he was doomed this time.

Kangxi sat expressionlessly on the chair. He looked at the dragon robe that was getting closer and closer. When he saw the dazzling five-clawed golden dragon on the dragon robe, his breathing became noticeably faster. He could no longer hold back and fiercely smashed the teacup at the prince's feet, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Rebellious son, you rebellious son, you really can't wait to take the throne, you really defy my will and are unworthy of the position of the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty!"

When the eldest prince, the third prince, the eighth prince and others heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes. It seems that the emperor is not satisfied with the crown prince being the heir apparent!

Then they once again added insult to injury, and the Chao Party behind them also joined in. They enumerated all the major crimes committed by the prince, and even the minor mistakes he had made in the past were magnified and criticized.

The princelings desperately pleaded for mercy and protested, and the birthday banquet turned into a "vegetable market" with everyone noisy.

But among the princes, the Fourth Prince frowned deeply and remained silent. He did not join in. At the same time, he stopped the Thirteenth Prince from joining in.

Shi Nanxi held Kangxi's hand and looked down coldly, then her eyes fell on Fifteen who had suddenly become motionless.

He pursed his lips tightly, and suddenly walked towards the imperial guards holding the dragon robe. Shi Nanxi frowned at first, but the next moment, he thought of something and his brows relaxed again.

Although Yin Yi was only eleven years old, he was in excellent health because he ate well, slept adequately, and exercised a lot. His height also grew accordingly and he was now over sixty meters tall. He stopped in front of the imperial guards.

Not much shorter than the imperial guards, he looked at the dragon robe in front of him, clicked his tongue twice, and then reached out his hand to touch the dragon robe as if he were touching ordinary linen.

The imperial guards holding the dragon robe knew that Prince Xiaoyao was favored and had a high status, so they did not dare to stop him. They could only watch as the Fifteenth Prince reached for the dragon robe.

The next moment, Yin Yi felt it, blinked his eyes, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his androgynous face, and he said in a bored tone:

"Ah, so this is the dragon robe. It doesn't feel anything special to the touch. It's just a piece of clothing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into a dead silence. Everyone turned towards the direction of the Fifteenth Prince slowly, slowly, as if in a slow-motion movie.

The fifteenth prince stood in front of the dragon robe, withdrew his hand with a look of disappointment, then turned to Kangxi and said innocently:

"Father, don't be angry. It's just a piece of clothing. If the second prince wants to hide it, he can wear it. What's the big deal? Anyway, you have already decided that the second prince will wear it in the future. He is just curious and wants to feel it in advance. What's the problem? Why get angry about this and hurt the relationship between father and son? How stupid!"

Hearing this, a smile flashed in Shi Nanxi's eyes. She knew that Fifteen would have this reaction.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart, which had been tense all the time, calmed down a little. The Crown Prince looked at Fifteen suddenly and felt that he was a ray of light in the abyss of despair, illuminating his life which was about to become dark.

The eldest prince, the third prince and others were almost jumped up with anger, and even the eighth prince, who always appeared gentle and kind, almost changed his expression.

Today was such a good opportunity, and they were about to take the prince down, but Fifteen kept jumping out to make trouble. What did it have to do with him? He had no right of succession, so why did he have to get involved?

At this moment, Kangxi's anger suddenly got stuck in his chest, unable to go out or out.

Is this a question? Is this a question? He always asks Shiwu to study but he refuses to do so. How could he say such naive words at this time?

He glared at Fifteen, wanting to get angry, but stopped when he met Fifteen's pure white and innocent eyes. For some reason, his anger deflated like a balloon.

In the end, he could only point at Fifteen and curse:

"Fifteen, you have also learned to disobey from the Crown Prince. How dare you call me stupid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Nanxi suddenly laughed out loud.

Hearing the noise, Kangxi turned around and glared at her, but Shi Nanxi showed an innocent face exactly the same as the Fifteenth Prince, and Kangxi was reluctant to scold her.

Shi Nanxi slowly stopped laughing at this time. She gently stroked Kangxi's back and said softly:

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health. Actually, what Fifteen said makes sense. It's just a piece of clothing. Why get so angry?"

Her tone was light. She knew very well why those princes did this, but how could she remain indifferent when it hurt Kangxi? She simply would not let them succeed.

Kangxi's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something. At this time, the Empress Dowager also hurriedly advised:

"Yes, Emperor. Today is a festive day. It is not the time to get angry."

Then he stared at the prince:

"Prince, you should admit your mistake to your father!"

As he said this, he quickly winked at the prince. The prince's mind was in a mess at this time. He thought he was dead this time, but he didn't know why it turned out like this. However, the prince was well-educated after all.

He immediately followed the Empress Dowager's words and kowtowed to admit his fault:

"Father, I was wrong. I just wanted to feel the dragon... No, I was wrong. Please don't get mad at me. Please take care of your body!"

The prince subconsciously followed Fifteen's words and said that he wanted to feel the feeling of wearing a dragon robe. Fortunately, he realized that he was wrong and corrected it in time. However, it only made things more obvious. He heard everything he should have heard.

Kangxi's breathing changed again, but when he saw the prince's frightened look, the remaining anger somehow dissipated a little, and finally he could only curse:

"Fifteen is still a child, but you are already an adult. You have been the crown prince for so many years, but you are acting like a child. Crown Prince, you really disappoint me."

They still cursed, but their attitude had obviously become much better. The princelings felt relieved and had a sense of surviving a disaster.

However, on the contrary, the eldest prince, the third prince, the eighth prince and others felt depressed, especially the eighth prince and his group. They had spent so much energy and price to set up today's shocking game, but now it was all in vain. How could they accept this?

The impulsive Tenth Prince wanted to say something, but at this moment, something strange happened. A guard in the imperial army suddenly drew out a knife and stabbed the prince.

"Prince be careful!"
