Chapter 681, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

"Fourth Prince, don't let his quiet nature fool you, he's as clear-headed as a mirror and has a good heart! On the other hand, Ninth and Tenth Princes have actually been more sensible this time..." Kangxi said softly with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction.

However, what was Kangxi's attitude towards the princes who were not mentioned by name?

Perhaps only he himself knew, but what is certain is that most of these people would find it difficult to gain the approval or praise of Emperor Kangxi.

At this moment, Li Dequan, standing to the side, knew perfectly well that all he needed to do was remain silent.

So he adopted a meek and submissive demeanor, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

In contrast, Ruoxi was clearly not as worldly and sophisticated as Li Dequan.

After all, they haven't been deeply "assimilated," so their emotions are bound to fluctuate easily.

Fortunately, she was looking down at the moment, so no one could see the complex expression on her pretty face.

In fact, Ruoxi had already foreseen that the Crown Prince would regain Emperor Kangxi's trust and be reinstated as the heir apparent.

Hearing Kangxi's words with her own ears, she couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart—it seemed that the Eighth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and others' failure to take any action had already displeased the Emperor.

As her thoughts drifted away, Ruoxi couldn't help but think of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, who had once been cold and ruthless towards her.

Despite a lingering resentment, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: this person's eventual ascension to the throne must have been the result of careful consideration and meticulous planning.

Just as Ruoxi was about to remind the Eighth Prince and the others, the people in the court couldn't hold back any longer. Of course, the first to jump out was the eldest prince, Yinzhi, who was at odds with Yinreng.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the palace windows, casting a bright glow.

In the imperial court, the ministers gathered together, awaiting the emperor's arrival.

When Emperor Kangxi entered the main hall, the entire court fell silent.

However, at this moment, a voice broke the silence—Yinzhi suddenly stood up, presented a memorial to Emperor Kangxi, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Second Prince Yinreng's actions are despicable and have lost the hearts of the people. The sorcerer Zhang Mingde once predicted that Yinsi would become extremely powerful. If Yinreng is to be executed, it will not be necessary for the Emperor to intervene."

Yinzhi's words were like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the court.

Everyone was shocked and knelt down to kowtow and apologize. Some of the more timid people were so frightened that their faces turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Those who were bolder, on the other hand, secretly pondered how to deal with the situation ahead.

Hiding behind the crowd, Yinzhi caught a glimpse of Yinzhi kneeling on the ground yet still standing upright out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but recall the proverb "666" that his wife had once uttered.

At this moment, he truly realized that his eldest brother was indeed worthy of the title. Not only was he the oldest, but his courage was also extraordinary. He dared to openly declare to his father that he would eliminate his own flesh and blood. Such behavior was simply outrageous!

While secretly observing the expression of Emperor Kangxi sitting on the dragon throne above, Yinzhen silently prayed that he would not be implicated.

As expected, Kangxi's face turned ashen with rage, and his chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was furious.

Nevertheless, Yinzhen couldn't help but recall the scene of sharing his day's experiences with Ajiu after returning to the mansion.

He thought that Ajiu would be very interested after hearing about this.

Lin Jiu: ...You really are your father's good son.

On the other side, Emperor Kangxi was trembling with rage, panting heavily, as if he were about to unleash a thunderous fury.
