Chapter 694 A Step-by-Step Thrill 66

Just then, the tightly closed door suddenly creaked open with a piercing sound, slowly opening a crack.

Everyone looked up and peered through the crack in the door, where they saw a man standing there—it was Li Dequan.

Li Dequan stood there, his eyes scanning the room. Seeing that all the princes had arrived, he said, "My lords, His Majesty invites you to enter the palace with me."

Upon hearing this, the princes exchanged glances, a hint of doubt and unease in their hearts.

But being princes after all, they quickly stood up from the ground and walked towards the house in order of their age. Yinzhen, who was at the back of the line, nervously tugged at Yintang's clothes.

Yinzhen's face went numb: "..." Stop pulling, my pants are about to fall down!!

Yinzhen was pulling up his waistband, which kept getting pulled down. He was so embarrassed. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would definitely have taught the eleventh prince a lesson!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" As soon as the princes entered the room, they saw Emperor Kangxi leaning against the bed with his eyes closed. They immediately knelt down and bowed to him.

Kangxi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the group of respectful sons before him.

When he saw Yinzhen standing at the front of the line with an indifferent and expressionless face, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion welling up inside him, and his eyes became somewhat dazed and unfocused.

Because he clearly remembered that the fourth brother wasn't like this before!

Back then, Yinzhen was practically a chatterbox in front of him and his cousin.

When exactly did the fourth brother undergo such a dramatic change?

After pondering for a long time, Kangxi finally recalled that everything had quietly changed after he had severely reprimanded Yinzhen...

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a tightness in his throat, and a bloody taste rushed to his throat, but he swallowed it back.

Then, in a deep and firm voice, he said: "My son, Prince Yong, the fourth son of the Emperor, Yinzhen, is of noble character and closely resembles me. He will surely be able to inherit the throne. He is hereby appointed to succeed me and ascend the throne as Emperor. He shall immediately observe the prescribed mourning period, which shall be lifted after twenty-seven days. This proclamation shall be made known throughout the realm."

Before he could finish speaking, the room erupted in an uproar, the shock palpable.

Especially Yinzhen, who was involved in the matter, widened his eyes slightly, his face full of disbelief.

However, in an instant, a barely perceptible look of ecstasy flashed through his otherwise calm heart.

After years of honing his skills, he had developed a calm and composed demeanor that remained unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed before him. Therefore, even though his heart was churning with emotions, he was still able to maintain his composure on the surface.

Yinzhen's composure did not mean that others could remain calm. Apart from him, only Yintang and Yinxi were the most composed. Everyone else was shouting "Father Emperor!" and their words were filled with dissatisfaction with Kangxi's decision.

In an instant, the once quiet hall became noisy and chaotic. No one knows how Kangxi felt, but Yinzhen thought that the group of people were shouting like a dozen chickens crowing. It was too noisy, really too noisy. He felt like he was going deaf. Yinzhen pulled the tenth prince back and rubbed his ears.

Didn't he say that these guys have no self-awareness at all? Didn't you see the old man's face was as dark as ink, and he kept chattering on and on!
