Secrets of Yuqing Palace

In the solemn and dignified court.

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne and told the court officials about the mistakes the prince had made over the years.

Then he said with tears in his eyes that he was extremely disappointed with the prince, and the prince had already taken the initiative to ask him to depose him.

But he was reluctant to let go of the prince, so he asked everyone for their opinions on whether to depose the prince.

The people below had already known the news, and after the emperor asked the question, many people began to test his intentions.

Although Yinzhen and Yinxiang did not participate, they were always watching the actions of those people, both in the court and in private.

They actually discovered several "interested people".

Not only did Kangxi ask his relatives and ministers about the matter of deposing the crown prince in the court, but he also often called his adult sons to the Qianqing Palace after leaving the court to express his dissatisfaction with the crown prince and how heartbroken he, as an old father, was.

After listening to it many times, the reckless man Yinzhen really took it to heart.

Seeing that the emperor's father was heartbroken and grief-stricken because of the unfilial second son, with tears in his eyes, he felt that he had seized the opportunity and stood up immediately.

Then he said with a righteous look on his face: "Khan Ama, Yinreng is such an unfilial person, he is worse than an animal."

"Wild beasts know how to repay kindness, and will not harm the mother that gave birth to them."

"So Khan Amma doesn't have to feel sad for him."

"My son believes that Yinreng's actions are despicable and have greatly lost the support of the people. If we want to execute Yinreng now, it doesn't have to come from the hands of the emperor!"

Everyone looked at the boss in shock.

I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so cruel. He actually wanted to take the second brother's life while Khan Ama was angry?!

After hearing this, Kangxi was also shocked and kicked Yinzhi to the ground.

Then he stared at Yinzhen with disgust and cursed him in disbelief.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

"You actually want to take advantage of your misfortune and get rid of your own brother?"

"You have no brotherly love at all, and you actually want to fight against your own family in front of me!"

"Where do you put me?!"

"Your actions are even more despicable than Yinreng's!"

Yinzhen was shocked by the expression on his father's face.

He quickly got up from the ground, knelt in front of his father, and hugged his father's thighs in panic, admitting his mistake.

"Khan Ama, my son has not neglected the love between brothers."

"It's just that my son values ​​Khan Ama more than his brothers."

"My son did this just to share Khan Ama's worries. I don't want Khan Ama to feel sad for Yinreng."

Kangxi was extremely angry and kicked Yinzhen away again.

"roll!"

"Get out of here!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Seeing that Khan Ama was so angry, more than ten brothers said nothing and retreated tacitly.

Especially Yinxiang and Yinzhen.

When he heard Yinzhen propose to Khan Ama to kill the prince, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

I am worried that Khan Ama will be bewitched by the eldest brother and one day he will really take action against the second prince.

Fortunately, seeing how angry Khan Ama was today, it seems that he still cares about his second brother.

This way, they can feel at ease.

But the two brothers didn't dare to wait any longer.

After deciding to wait until Khan Ama's anger subsided, Yinxiang took Fifteen and Sixteen to the Qianqing Palace to Khan Ama and explain what happened before and after his Eighteenth Brother's death.

After this incident, Kangxi finally agreed to allow the Crown Princess to enter Xian'an Palace and be with the detained Crown Prince.

However, although the prince and his wife were detained in Xian'an Palace, Kangxi did not change his attitude towards his two grandsons.

He still often summoned them to the Qianqing Palace for meals, and sometimes they would stay overnight.

This made all the ministers confused about what the Emperor was trying to do.

Before entering Xian'an Palace, Wanyu comforted her four children.

Especially the two sons, they are no different from the two daughters. They stay with the Queen Mother and have her protection, so they don't have to worry about rumors outside.

The two sons had to go out and study in the Shangshufang, and meet with their other cousins ​​and study companions every day.

They will also meet their uncles and many palace servants. Who knows who may harbor ill will towards them. It will be troublesome if they have bad intentions towards the two children when the prince and his wife are not around.

In particular, they will also meet Khan Mafa.

If they are not enlightened, the two of them will be used by others and say or do something in front of the emperor, which will cause Kangxi's dissatisfaction and disgust, which will be disastrous.

After arranging everything for her children, Wanyu took Xia He with her bags and luggage to Xian'an Palace.

The remaining confidants stayed in Yuqing Palace to take care of the young master and guard the palace gate.

When Yinreng saw the young concubine enter Xian'an Palace, he smiled and took her hand.

Feeling that her hand was a little cold, he took her into the main hall.

The temperature in the capital city had begun to drop in early October, and charcoal was burning in the hall, making it warm.

Yinreng asked, "Are you cold on the way here?"

Wanyu smiled and shook her head.

"not cold."

"I came here in a sedan chair, and Xia He prepared a hand warmer for me."

Yinreng turned to Zhang Xi and ordered, "Go prepare some hot ginger soup for the Crown Princess."

Zhang Xi: "Yes."

Knowing that he was worried about her, Wanyu agreed without any objection.

Soon, Zhang Xi came in with a lunch box.

When I opened the lid, there was a small pot of ginger soup inside, with an empty small bowl and spoon next to it.

Xia He personally served a bowl of soup and then carefully handed it to the Crown Princess.

Wanyu frowned and drank the whole bowl of soup in one gulp. She felt the spiciness in her mouth and was just about to drink some tea to wash away the taste when Yinreng held up a piece of preserved fruit and placed it to her lips.

"Don't drink tea after drinking ginger soup, otherwise it will dilute the medicinal properties."

Wanyu took a bite of the preserved fruit with a smile on her face, then instructed Xia He.

"There's still some ginger soup left. Drink some before it gets cold."

Xia He said gratefully, "Thank you, Master."

After Xia He and Zhang Xi were sent away by the two men, Yinreng took Wanyu into his arms, feeling the intimacy after a long separation, and chatting with her to pass the time.

At this time, both of them tacitly did not mention the fact that the emperor wanted to depose the prince in the previous dynasty.

Yinreng did not say it on his own initiative, but he was the one who first proposed to depose the crown prince.

Instead, they were talking about the children and some things that happened in the capital while Yinreng was away.

In particular, in order to divert Yinreng's attention, Wanyu enthusiastically told him a lot of gossip.

Last year, the emperor issued several imperial decrees to grant marriages. Except for the fifteenth prince Yinyu and Princess Ma Jia, and the sixteenth prince Yinlu and Princess Irgen Jueluo, which have not yet been married, the other several marriages have already been married.

Among them, the wedding of Wanyu's fourth sister Shi Wanqiong and Prince Xian Yanhuang was extremely lively.

There was also the fifth sister, Shi Wanyue, who also married Niuhulu Celeng two months before they returned to Beijing.

Tong Guowei's granddaughter Tong Jia married into the Eighth Prince's house before Shi Wanyue married into the Niuhulu family.

Now she is competing with the Eighth Lady in the backyard of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and the situation is quite lively.

After she returned to the palace, she would occasionally invite Concubine Mu from Prince Yong's mansion to the palace to talk.

Therefore, he knew a lot about the hustle and bustle at the Eighth Prince's Mansion next to the Prince of Yong's Mansion.

Seeing that she was talking happily, Yinreng did not interrupt her, but would often add hot tea to her cup, and when she stopped, let her drink some water to moisten her throat.

The two of them seemed to be undisturbed by the events of the previous dynasty, and were very sweet and sticky.
