In September of the forty-seventh year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the emperor returned to Beijing. He quickly announced the audience of the kings, Baylor, and important ministers of the court, and then announced the abolition of the crown prince Yinreng.

He also personally wrote a memorial to the heaven and earth, Ancestral Temple.

Yin Reng, the legitimate son of the Central Palace who had been the crown prince for thirty-three years, was deposed as the crown prince and moved to Xian'an Palace for confinement. The whole government and the public were shocked.

After the prince was deposed, the elder brothers became more aggressive in seizing the heir. In the past, the prince, the legitimate son of the middle palace, was in charge, and even if he had ideas, they were carried out in secret.

However, after the prince was deposed, these elder brothers felt that everyone's background was different.

All the same, they are all concubines, and they are not convinced by anyone. The competition for the reserve position has changed from dark to clear, and they are even a little unscrupulous.

Among the many forces seizing the throne, Prince Zhi is undoubtedly the most powerful and has many supporters. Since ancient times, there has been a debate over who should be the direct descendant.

Now that the legitimate son has been deposed, everyone thinks that the eldest son, Prince Zhi, is the one most valued by the emperor.

Even some vacillating wallflowers are moving closer to Prince Zhi.

Not only the courtiers thought so, but Prince Zhi also thought so. During this period, not only did he have more frequent and closer contact with the ministers than usual, but he also expressed in a memorial that unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people like the deposed prince should be punished. Execution...

Kangxi was shocked when he heard the eldest son's remarks. He was also disappointed and angry. Long Yan angrily reprimanded Prince Zhi, calling him a "rebellious minister and traitor" and escorted him back to his home for confinement.

However, these are none of Su Yan's business. The fourth master left the Old Summer Palace for a few days, probably to see the prince who was escorted back to Beijing. He looked very bad when he came back.

She somewhat understood how he felt. It was probably because of the indignity of others. The emperor treated the deposed prince in this way, the son he had raised and was his favorite. If one day the other sons were rejected by the emperor, their fate would not be better. Where to go.

Su Yan saw that Fourth Master had a bad look on his face and did not dare to speak rashly. She just played quietly with Fourth Brother on the side.

"Mother, when will Uncle Eighteen come to play with me! Hongxuan misses him so much." Hongxuan looked like he was sighing in love with a little adult, which made Su Yan even amused.

The child will be two years old in two months, and his speech is already clear.

According to the nannies and old ladies who serve him, Hongxuan's language development is faster than that of many children.

Su Yan felt that the 18th elder brother, as an uncle, had made a great contribution. During his stay in the Old Summer Palace, he always teased Hongxuan and did not dislike Hongxuan's slow speech. No wonder Hongxuan missed him so much after he returned to the palace.

"E Niang knows that you miss your eighteenth uncle, but your eighteen uncle also misses his E Niang. If you haven't seen E Niang for so many days, do you miss me?"

Fourth Brother tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Then. Did Uncle Eighth go back to find E Niang? He is already an adult, why are he still looking for E Niang? My mother is not looking for E Niang anymore!"
