Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 322 The Threat from the Direct Lineage

Feeling the excitement and joy of the person holding her, Wanyu pinched his face with amusement.

"Have you figured out your way out?"

Although the two of them were talking about a way out when seeking the throne, both of them looked relaxed and happy at this moment.

Yinreng raised his head proudly.

He said confidently, "If I can't get up there, I'll push someone up there!"

Wanyu was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Who are you eyeing?"

Yinreng simply uttered two words casually.

"Fourth!"

His tone was relaxed and his expression was confident.

It seemed as if pushing someone to that position was just a simple matter for him that didn't require too much thought.

Although Wanyu remembered that it was Yongzheng who ascended the throne in history, she was still surprised by Yinreng's choice.

After all, the crown prince was deposed and reinstated twice in history.

In this life, Yinreng has never been deposed.

"Why choose the fourth brother?"

"Haven't you always admired Thirteenth Brother the most?"

"And Thirteenth Brother has the Fucha family behind him, so he should have an advantage over Fourth Brother, right?"

Yinreng did chuckle and shook his head.

"If I were to push someone, I would only push the fourth one."

"And it can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

When Wanyu heard Yinreng's confident words, her pupils suddenly shrank.

"How can you be so sure?!"

Yinreng looked deeply and said, "I have the evidence to bring down all the other brothers."

"But I won't use that method unless it's absolutely necessary."

Then he said with a tone full of sarcasm and emotion: "If it weren't for Khan Ama himself, I wouldn't be so sure."

Wanyu frowned and stared at him closely, "Do you know something?"

Yinreng sighed softly.

"Be good, don't ask."

"This matter involves so many people, I can't tell you, otherwise it will harm you."

Wanyu was very confused.

"Since you can pull down the other brothers, don't you have a better chance of taking the throne? Why do you still want to push Yinzhen up?"

Yinreng had a complicated expression.

Although the truth was cruel, Yinreng had to admit it.

"Silly Yu'er, it's different."

"Because Khan Amma feels threatened by me."

"I threatened him."

“So I can’t guarantee that I will succeed in the end.”

"Why do you think he wanted Feng Sheng'e to move to the South Third Residence?"

"Why do you think he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works to supervise Seventeenth Brother's residence?"

"He wanted to separate me from Feng Sheng'e and Hong Ye."

"He is gradually clipping the wings behind me and suppressing the forces behind me."

Wanyu was shocked.

She thought that Kangxi gave such an order only because it was inconvenient for the little Guaerjia to marry into the Yuqing Palace, so he let the young couple live in the South Three Houses.

After all, the South Third Residence is quite empty now, and it is not far from Yuqing Palace.

I didn't expect there was such a deep meaning in it.

Thinking of Kangxi's vigilance, Wanyu couldn't help but shudder.

Yinreng sensed her uneasiness and hugged her even tighter.

"Don't be afraid."

"I'm prepared."

"Besides, Feng Sheng'e is already grown up, so there's no need to worry about him becoming alienated from us."

"As for Hongye, even if he moves to the South Third Residence, he will have to wait until Seventeen leaves the palace to build his own residence."

"The earliest I'll go is next year."

"With Feng Sheng'e and Xiao Guaerjia watching over them, nothing will go wrong with Hongye."

Wanyu tightly grasped Yinreng's underwear and asked hurriedly, "Did you see the emperor's intention and want to prepare a retreat?"

Yinreng patted her back soothingly and whispered his thoughts.

"In fact, I already had the idea of ​​preparing a way out."

“I just haven’t made up my mind yet.”

"Khan Ama is becoming increasingly wary of me. I have a feeling that if this continues, when Khan Ama finally loses his patience, the fate of me and the children will be no better than that of our eldest son."

Wanyu's eyes met Yinreng's and she asked softly and calmly, "What's the way out?"

Yinreng: "I plan to cooperate with your sister."

Wanyu frowned, "Clan sister? Second sister?"

Yinreng nodded.

"Since I'm confident in pushing the fourth one up, I can certainly prepare a retreat in advance."

Wanyu asked, "What's your plan?"

Yinreng said softly, "Originally, I wanted to let your cousin take care of Lao Si's child."

"Then I persuaded the fourth brother to register the child's jade certificate in the name of your sister."

"When the fourth child takes the throne, you can push the child born under your sister's name to take the throne."

"This will ensure the safety and prosperity of the children, the Hesheli clan, and the Guarjia clan!"

"And if I had withdrawn this morning, Khan Ama wouldn't have been so heartless to us, either because of my tact or because of his love for us over the years."

"In fact, the escape route I prepared is not only for Khan Ama, but also for the next generation of emperors, and even the next generation of emperors."

Wanyu was puzzled.

"The next generation and the next generation?"

Yinreng nodded and explained in a serious tone.

"Xiao Yu'er, you have to understand that among Khan Ama's dozens of children, I am the only legitimate son."

"The succession to the throne is based on orthodoxy, and emphasizes the eldest son as the heir!"

"No matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, I, the legitimate son and former crown prince, and my two legitimate grandsons, Feng Sheng'e and Hong Ye, will all be the ones the new emperor will be wary of and wary of!"

"The presence of a legitimate heir of our lineage would be a threat to the future new emperor."

"So, I have to consider Feng Sheng'e and Hongye."

Wanyu's heart suddenly tightened, and she asked with red eyes, "Even if it was Yinzhen, would he be afraid of you and Feng Sheng'e?"

Yinreng nodded cruelly and said in a firm tone.

"Yu'er, people's hearts are fickle, especially the emperor."

"The suspicion will only grow stronger!"

"So once someone else takes the throne, I will have no choice but to completely withdraw from the court to protect you."

"Even the fourth one is the same!"

"Even if someone like Old Eight takes the throne, our lineage may not be safe."

"The reason why I pushed the fourth brother to take the position is not only because I am the most confident, but also because of your sister."

Wanyu asked: "Is it related to your cooperation?"

Yinreng nodded.

"I will completely withdraw from the court. I can only ensure that the next emperor will not take action against the people of Yuqing Palace during his reign."

"If the next emperor succeeds to the throne, with the death of the previous emperor, the friendship between me and the fourth brother, as well as my help, will have dissipated."

"A single generation of power transfer is not enough to offset the threat posed to the new emperor's position by the legitimate sons and grandsons of the previous emperor."

"So in the eyes of the new emperor, Feng Sheng'e, Hong Ye and the others will be thorns in his side."

"Especially now that the Fourth Master's wife, Honghui, passed away young, she herself will no longer be able to have children."

"If the fourth son succeeds to the throne, his successor will probably be a bastard."

"Their status as a bastard will surely make Feng Sheng'e and the others even more wary."

Wanyu asked, "So you want someone close to the Yuqing Palace lineage to take over Yinzhen's position?"

Yinreng nodded.

"Indeed."

"But your sister has a new idea."
