Chapter 450 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 72

"Get up." Kangxi waved his hand expressionlessly, motioning him to stand up and talk.

……

"You said that the Crown Prince has been mentally disturbed recently, which has led to his spoiled and immoral behavior. Is this all secretly planned by the eldest prince?"

Yinzhi raised his head, his eyes flickered, and his tone was somewhat tentative: "In reply to your Majesty, I... I also learned about this incident by chance, and was shocked. That's why I dared to go to the palace to ask to see your Majesty and tell you about this."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhi fell to his knees with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes, "Father, please understand. I never lied to you! These days, my behavior has been strange and my temperament has changed drastically. It's all because of my eldest brother behind this!"

Kangxi glanced at him and said coldly, "Third brother, you keep saying that the eldest brother is behind this, do you have any evidence?"

"This son learned it from the eunuchs in my eldest brother's house. My eldest brother had a close relationship with several lamas, and he used the lamas to secretly cast witchcraft to harm my second brother, causing him to go crazy." Yinzhi cried and spoke with certainty, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Oh? Is this true? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yinzhi's body trembled uncontrollably. He bit his lip and said in a trembling voice, "Reply... reply to Your Majesty, I... I only learned about this recently. The eldest prince acted cautiously, and I spent a lot of effort to find solid evidence."

"Oh? Where is the evidence?" Kangxi's tone was flat, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Yinzhi pulled out a letter from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said, "This is a secret letter that I found in the eldest prince's mansion. The content of the letter is enough to prove the eldest prince's wolfish ambitions!"

Li Dequan took the letter and handed it to Kangxi. Kangxi unfolded the letter and read it carefully. The letter was written in Mongolian. Kangxi was proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, so he could read it clearly. The content of the letter was exactly as Yinzhi said. It recorded in detail how Yinzhi colluded with the lamas to murder the prince, and how he won over the court officials and cultivated his own clique.

When Kangxi saw this, he slammed the letter in his hand on the table and said angrily: "What a bold man Yinzhi is! How dare he be so presumptuous! Where does he put me?!"

Yinzhi was secretly delighted when he saw this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Father, please calm down! My eldest brother is so bold and reckless, he deserves death! Please, Father, be vigilant and punish him severely!"

"Hmph!" Kangxi snorted angrily and kicked over the coffee table in front of him. The scalding hot tea splashed all over Yinzhi, but he didn't dare to dodge and continued to kneel on the ground trembling.

Kangxi paced back and forth in the hall angrily. After a while, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Yinzhi with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Third brother, you did a good job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yinzhi was delighted and kowtowed quickly, saying, "I dare not take credit for it. It is my duty to help the Emperor. I dare not ask for any reward."

Kangxi snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming: "Since you said you dare not take credit, I can't force you. But this matter is of great importance, I need to investigate it thoroughly, and I need you to take more care."

Yinzhi was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I will do my best to help you relieve your worries."

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, and then gave an order in a deep voice: "Li Dequan, pass the order! Send people to search the eldest prince's house immediately, and arrest any suspicious people!"

"Yes!" Li Dequan took the order and hurried down to make arrangements.

Kangxi rubbed his brows and said tiredly, "Old Third, please leave. I am tired."

"Your son will take his leave." Yinzhi bowed respectfully and left.

He walked out of the Qianqing Palace and looked up at the sky. It was cloudless and the sun was dazzling.

In fact, Kangxi didn’t really care whether Yinreng was harmed by his eldest brother. His disappointment with Yinreng actually started very early.

The reason why he wanted to give Yinreng a chance was nothing more than to divert the attention of those parties to the prince, so that Tan'er and her son could be safe...

The eldest prince’s mansion.

Yinzhi was practicing calligraphy in his study when he suddenly heard a loud noise. He frowned, put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on outside? It's so noisy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the butler ran in in a panic, his face pale and sweating.

"Oh no! Someone came from the palace and said that they were ordered by the emperor to search our mansion!" the butler said breathlessly.

"what?!"

Yinzhi was horrified when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and asked in a stern voice, "What's going on? Why is the emperor searching the mansion?"

The butler said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I don't know! The guards said they were following the emperor's orders, and I didn't dare to ask any more questions!"

Yinzhi's mind raced, and an ominous premonition came over him. He forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who is coming?"

"Your Highness, it was Eunuch Li who came with the imperial guards," the butler replied.

Li Dequan personally brought people here, it seems that this matter is very serious! Yinzhi's heart sank, knowing that today's matter might not end well.

"Come on, follow me to take a look!" Yinzhi took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, then strode out of the study, followed closely by the butler.

......

In the front yard, Li Dequan led dozens of imperial guards and surrounded the entire mansion of the eldest prince. The servants in the mansion were trembling with fear and dared not make a sound.

Yinzhi came to the front yard and saw this scene, feeling even more uneasy. He walked up to Li Dequan and asked in a deep voice, "Eunuch Li, I wonder why the emperor wants to search my mansion?"

Li Dequan glanced at him with a fake smile and said in a shrill voice, "I am just following the emperor's orders. As for the reasons, I don't know. Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. Let all the servants in the mansion come out and cooperate with the search, so as not to delay the emperor's order."

Yinzhi knew that Li Dequan was deliberately shirking his responsibility, and although he was angry, he could do nothing about it. He knew that the imperial power was supreme, and if he dared to disobey the order, he would be courting death.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Eunuch Li." Yinzhi said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

Li Dequan smiled triumphantly and waved his hand. The guards behind him immediately rushed into the mansion like wolves and tigers and began to search everywhere.

Yinzhi stood there, his face livid, his fists clenched tightly, his heart filled with anger and resentment. He knew that all this was framed by someone behind the scenes, but he couldn't guess who was secretly plotting against him.

Yinzhi forced himself to remain calm and watched coldly as the imperial guards brutally searched his mansion.

His heart gradually sank as time went by, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart. Suddenly, a guard fished out a wooden box from the well in the backyard, and he shouted excitedly: "Eunuch Li, we found it! There is a box here!"
