Chapter 447 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 69

"Your Majesty..." Yinreng wanted to explain further but was ruthlessly interrupted by Kangxi.

"Someone come here!" Kangxi shouted, and a group of guards immediately rushed into the bedroom and surrounded Yinreng.

Kangxi returned to the dragon throne angrily and sat down, his trembling fingers tightly grasping the armrests, his knuckles turning white.

Outside the bedroom, the guards forced Yinreng to kneel on the ground. His head was lowered and his facial expression could not be seen clearly, but his inner fear could be seen from his slightly trembling body.

Soon, the princes arrived one after another. They looked at each other, not understanding what had happened to make Kangxi so furious.

The fourth prince Yinzhen looked serious, and with complicated eyes he glanced at Yinreng who was kneeling on the ground, then looked in the direction of the bedroom, and vaguely guessed something in his heart. The eldest prince, on the other hand, looked gloating, and he wished that Yinreng would fall so that he could take his place.

Kangxi looked at the princes standing below, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.

He spoke slowly, his voice low but with unquestionable majesty: "Crown Prince Yinreng is disloyal and unfilial, unkind and unjust, forming a clique for personal gain and acting recklessly. I hereby declare that the Crown Prince is deposed!"

Kangxi's words were so powerful that the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and one could hear a pin drop. The princes looked at each other, and no one dared to offend the emperor at this time.

The eldest prince Yinzhi was secretly delighted but pretended to be heartbroken on his face. He fell to his knees with a thud and cried bitterly, "Father, the prince was just confused for a moment. Please forgive him this time because he has served you for so many years!" His performance was so exaggerated that anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was false sympathy.

The third prince Yinzhi, who was always known for his elegance and erudition, also stood up at this moment, shook his head and sighed, "The prince has always been kind and filial. I think he must have been deceived by someone to do such a foolish thing. I hope the emperor will be able to see through everything and give the prince a chance to reform!"

The fourth prince Yinzhen, who had always been shrewd, knelt down at this moment and said in a deep voice: "Father, although the prince made a mistake, he is not guilty enough to be deposed. Please think twice before acting!" His words seemed to be pleading for the prince, but in fact, they contained hidden meanings.

Kangxi sneered in his heart as he listened to the princes' "pleas". These sons who usually fought to the death were now friendly and respectful to each other. Unfortunately, he had already seen through their hypocrisy.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Enough! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You are all ambitious and wish the crown prince would fall soon so that you can make room for yourselves!"

Kangxi's anger made the princes silent. They lowered their heads and dared not speak again.

Kangxi's furious roar echoed in the empty hall, and the princes kept silent, fearing that they would get into trouble. Only the eighth prince Yinsi remained gentle and elegant, but there was a hint of smugness in his eyes and eyebrows.

The deposed Yinreng was dragged out by the guards like a defeated rooster, and his desperate cries were particularly harsh in the silent palace. Kangxi looked at his sons who were scheming against each other for power and profit, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Get out!" Kangxi waved his hand tiredly. He just wanted to be alone.

The princes retreated one after another as if they had been pardoned. In the huge Yangxin Palace, only Kangxi was left, sitting alone on the dragon throne, like a statue without a soul.

Kangxi tiredly dismissed the remaining princes, and he was the only one left in the huge Yangxin Palace. He closed his eyes, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart, but Yinreng's desperate eyes and hoarse cries kept appearing in his mind.

He has experienced such scenes too many times, and each time it was like a sharp blade, cutting into his heart.

He remembered that Hesheli died of childbirth complications and before her death she held his hand and begged him to treat Yinreng well.

He had sincerely wanted to be a kind father, but power was like a poison that slowly corroded his heart and the relationship between them.

Kangxi leaned weakly on the dragon throne, surrounded by a deep sense of loneliness. He suddenly missed Yutan, the gentle, considerate and understanding woman.

"Li Dequan."

"emperor……"

Kangxi rubbed his brows tiredly: "Go and bring Yutan here. I... want to see her. And Yinzhen."

Li Dequan heard this, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he just bowed and said, "Yes."

After a while, Yutan came over holding Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was still a baby, sleeping soundly, with a bit of baby fat on his rosy little face, making people want to reach out and pinch it.

When Kangxi saw Yutan, his originally gloomy expression eased a little. He waved to Yutan and said, "Come here, let me hug you."

Yutan carried Yinzhen to Kangxi and gently handed the child to him.

Kangxi carefully took Yinzhen in, fearing to disturb his sweet dream. He looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart.

Yinzhen seemed to feel Kangxi's body temperature. He rubbed his little head in his arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep soundly.

Kangxi gently stroked Yinzhen's tender cheek, feeling the warmth of the baby's skin, and the restless mood in his heart gradually subsided.

He looked at Yutan, his eyes full of fatigue and dependence: "Yutan, do you think I am too old to even discipline my own son?"

Yu Tan shook her head gently and said softly, "Your Majesty is in his prime, vigorous and energetic, how could he be old? The princes are just young and impulsive, so your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

Kangxi smiled bitterly and said, "Young and hot-tempered? They are all adults now. Who is not scheming and will do anything to achieve their goals? I think they are not young and hot-tempered, but blinded by greed!"

Yu Tan did not dare to answer and could only remain silent. She knew that Kangxi was angry at the moment and it would be useless to say more nice things. It would be better to wait until he calmed down.

Kangxi walked slowly in the hall holding Yinzhen in his arms, whispering as he walked: "All my sons are thinking about fighting for power, but none of them really cares about me. They only care about the position, but don't care how hard and lonely the person sitting on it is..."

Yu Tan looked at Kangxi's lonely back and felt a little distressed. She knew that Kangxi had not had an easy time these years. The intrigues in the court and the jealousy in the harem had exhausted him physically and mentally.

She walked gently to Kangxi and said softly, "Your Majesty, you still have me and Yinzhen, we will always be with you."
