Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Thinking of his young son who died of illness and his concubine who fainted, Kangxi took a deep breath.

He didn't want to cause any noise at the entrance of Yinzhi's tent and affect Yinzhi's peaceful life.

He flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and went straight to his own tent.

Yinzhi also followed Khan Ama, snorted coldly at Yinreng who was kneeling on the ground, and walked away.

The thirteenth and fourteenth brothers saw that Khan Ama and the eldest brother had left first, so they hurried forward to help the second brother, the prince, to stand up.

Yinxiang directly stated the emperor's intention.

"Brother, get up quickly. Khan Ama said everyone should go to his tent."

Yinzhen also nodded and said, "Second brother, you must explain this to Khan Ama later."

"Khan Amma is very angry that you came so late."

"With my elder brother adding fuel to the fire, Khan Amma is very angry with you now."

The brothers Yinyou and Yinlu had already seen the person following Yinreng.

One was the prince's chief eunuch Zhang Xi, and the other was the prince's accompanying doctor.

They had seen this accompanying doctor before.

I also heard my mother mention that if this doctor had not arrived in time with the medicine a few days ago, my eighteenth brother would have been seriously ill that night and might not have survived until today.

Later, Zhang Xi took this doctor to see his eighteenth brother several times, and the conclusion was almost the same as that of the imperial physician.

Now that he saw his second brother bringing this doctor here, he knew that his second brother, the Crown Prince, wanted this doctor to examine his eighteenth brother.

Yinlu wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

With a slightly choked voice, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, second brother."

"My eighteenth brother has just passed away. We don't need a doctor now."

Yinreng sighed and said, "I originally thought that Doctor Meng was able to save my eighteenth brother in time last time, so maybe he can help my eighteenth brother recover this time as well."

"Even if we can temporarily stabilize his condition and bring him to the capital, and find a skilled doctor, maybe Eighteenth Brother's illness can still be cured."

"But I was still a step too late."

Yinyu said with a bitter face, "I think Eighteenth Brother also understands Second Brother's intentions."

"But now it has become like this, and Khan Ama has misunderstood my second brother."

"Second brother, you have to explain this to Khan Ama later."

"My younger brother and mother are very grateful for Second Brother's kindness."

"When Khan Ama blames me later, my younger brother will stand up and explain for my second brother."

Yinlu stood beside Yinyu and said firmly, "So does my brother."

Yinreng sighed and said, "It's okay."

"Khan Ama is also in a bad mood because he is eighteen, so he misunderstood me."

Seeing that they kept talking and thinking of the already angry Khan Ama, Yinzhen couldn't help but remind them.

"Second brother, let's go to Khan Ama's royal tent first."

"Khan Ama is already angry. If I go too late, my elder brother will start gossiping again."

"Who knows, I might be even angrier with my second brother then."

Yinxiang also nodded and said, "Fourteenth brother is right."

"Let's go quickly."

When they hurried to the imperial tent, Kangxi was already sitting in the upper seat waiting.

Seeing them come in, he gave them a cold look.

Everyone knelt down properly, waiting to be taught.

Even Yinzhi knelt beside Yinreng.

Kangxi's face was grim, and his eyes revealed deep disappointment and anger.

He looked directly at Crown Prince Yinreng, who was kneeling in front of him, and his voice was low and stern.

"Prince, your younger brother died of illness. As the Crown Prince, why have you not appeared yet?"

Yinreng stood up straight with an expression that showed he was innocent.

"Khan Ama, it's not that my son doesn't care about his brother."

"There is a reason why I am late..."

Kangxi was stunned. He didn't expect that Yinreng was still refutating and making excuses at this moment.

"shut up!"

Then he shouted angrily with disappointment on his face, interrupting Yinreng's words.

"Your younger brother is seriously ill, yet not only have you been so late in showing up, you've even been making excuses in front of me!"

"As the Crown Prince, you should be aware of the heavy responsibilities you have. Besides handling the affairs of the previous dynasty, you should also be friendly to your brothers and filial to your parents. However, you have repeatedly disappointed me."

"As a brother, your brother is seriously ill, but you turn a blind eye. You have no brotherly love at all!"

"As a son, not only do you not understand the pain of losing your son, but you constantly disappoint me. You have no filial piety at all!"

"As the Crown Prince, you harbor evil intentions, vainly attempting to divide my authority and coveting the throne!"

"I actually taught you to be so disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust!"

Kangxi's words were like a sharp blade, cutting into Yinreng's heart.

He had long been depressed and resentful because of his father's suspicion and suppression, and now he could no longer bear it.

He raised his head and stared straight at the man in front of him who looked down on him as if he was an enemy, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes.

The nameless anger that had been suppressed in Yinreng's heart was instantly ignited.

He could no longer bear it and retorted loudly.

"Khan, I have always been cautious in my words and actions, fearing that I might make a mistake."

"But Khan Ama was very suspicious of his son and minister, and would suppress him at every turn."

"You are always suspicious of me. No matter what I do, it is wrong. You are always on guard against me."

"For what happened today, you blamed my son without waiting for his explanation and without asking any questions."

"My son, may I ask, are you still the Khan Ama you once were?"

Kangxi and Yinreng looked at each other and sparks flew.

The atmosphere in the imperial tent was extremely tense, as if a spark could ignite an explosion.

Everyone looked nervously at the father and son facing each other in front of them.

Especially Yinxiang and Yinzhen, they were worried about the second brother, the crown prince.

They didn't know why they argued with Khan Ama when the second brother could calm him down with just a simple explanation.

Even Yinzhi, who had been arguing with Yinreng, was now horrified.

He didn't expect the second brother to be so brave.

How dare you talk back to my father Khan like this?

But then he felt proud.

[The second child will probably fall out of favor this time! ]

[Go ahead and argue. Argue louder. It would be great if Khan Ama could just dethrone the second son from the throne.]

[Without a legitimate son, I, the eldest son, have the most honorable status.]

[Who else but me can take the throne of the Crown Prince?!]

The father and son facing each other in front were still venting their emotions to each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

"How dare you, you rebellious son, speak to me like that!"

"I am your father and the ruler of this world. How I treat you is my own decision."

"How dare you...how dare you contradict me like this!"

Kangxi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He couldn't help but cover his chest with one hand and pointed at Yinreng with the other hand. He could hardly speak.

Yinreng felt a pain in his heart, but he did not show any weakness.

"Is what I said wrong?"

"You have raised me, your son, but now you are increasingly suspicious of my evil intentions."

"But my son's every move is under your control. Don't you really know whether I have any rebellious intentions?"

Emperor Kangxi snorted coldly and glared at Yinreng with his fierce eyes.

He shouted in dissatisfaction, "How dare you quibble!"

"You formed a clique with other ministers in the previous dynasty for personal gain. Do you really think I don't know?"

"And that Soetu!"

"You were bewitched by Soetu, who had ulterior motives, yet you believed him, disregarding my wishes and making excuses for him at every turn!"

"If I hadn't considered your feelings, I would have executed that treacherous minister long ago. How could I have allowed him to enjoy his old age in Shengjing?"

"But you, a rebellious son, have been disobedient to me. I'm afraid you've long harbored rebellious thoughts towards me, the emperor."

"Do you really think I'm blind and can't see your ambition?"
