Chapter 682, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he trembled all over, his face full of rage, and he was both shocked and furious.
He had always encouraged his sons to compete with each other, because only in this way could the truly capable and responsible person be selected to inherit the throne.
However, he absolutely could not tolerate his brothers killing each other.
What Yinzhi just said was undoubtedly challenging Kangxi's bottom line, making him feel extremely angry and disappointed.
Kangxi tried hard to control his emotions, and after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly regained his composure.
But at this moment, his face was frighteningly gloomy, making people afraid to look him in the eye. His majesty and coldness were far more terrifying than ever before.
What happened next completely surprised everyone present.
First, the eldest prince, Yinzhi, was ordered to be imprisoned and lost his freedom; while the eighth prince, Yinsi, who was originally highly regarded and a potential candidate for crown prince, also did not benefit, but instead suffered even more severe punishment and setbacks.
Every word Emperor Kangxi uttered was so incisive, like sharp swords, deeply piercing the heart of the Eighth Prince!
"The Eighth Prince was born to a lowly woman from the Imperial Household Department. From a young age, he was ambitious and treacherous. When I was ill, the ministers recommended that the Eighth Prince succeed to the throne. I had no choice but to release the Crown Prince, who was not to be established. For several years, I was extremely depressed. The Eighth Prince still hoped to fulfill his original intention and formed a faction with treacherous officials, secretly carrying out treacherous deeds. I fear that in the future, there will be princes who act like dogs and pigs, relying on my favor, to raise troops and cause trouble, forcing me to abdicate and establish the Eighth Prince. If this happens, I can only die with a smile on my face! I am deeply angry and hereby address you princes. You should all remember my benevolence and obey my will, which is the proper way for a subject to obey his will."

Lin Jiu stared intently at Yin Tang, who had been sitting blankly since returning to his room, seemingly lost in thought. She couldn't help but furrow her beautiful and delicate eyebrows slightly, and then looked up and gave Yu Ling, who was standing to the side, a look that signaled them to go out for a moment.
After Yuling and the other servants left the room and gently closed the door, the entire room became completely quiet.
At this moment, Lin Jiu finally spoke and asked softly, "Why did your face suddenly turn so pale?"
To be honest, although Yinzhen's face was fair, he was at most just a pretty boy.
But when you look at it now, it has completely changed - the skin that was originally gentle and fair has become as white as a sheet of paper!
If it weren't for the fact that she was the only woman by the man's side, and that he had no one else, one might really mistakenly think that he indulged in sensual pleasures every night like a carefree and philandering groom, thus exhausting his body!
Yinzhen's eyes were constantly shifting, his expression was quite complex and difficult to understand, and even his palms were still sweating profusely. Of course, he felt a chill in his heart as well. "Ajiu, Eighth Brother has completely failed this time!"
Lin Jiu's eyes lit up upon hearing this; there was new gossip to come. She gestured for Yin Tang to pause for a moment, then got up to fetch a fruit platter and melon seeds, and poured a cup of tea for each of them. Once everything was ready, Lin Jiu looked at Yin Tang and said, "Now you can speak."
Yinzhen's eye twitched. All the sighs and fears in his heart were disrupted and scattered by his wife's series of actions.
