After Kangxi died, he did not go straight to the Ziwei Star Palace. Instead, he stayed in the imperial palace for several years. He did not think there was anything wrong with what Yongzheng had done, except that he had gone too far with Yinsi. Watching Yinsi's life after his confinement, Kangxi found himself, strangely, feeling a little guilty. After all, if not for what he had done to secure the throne, perhaps Yinzhen and Yinsi would never have become enemies.
Yinsi felt himself growing weaker, but he felt neither fear nor reluctance. All he felt was liberation.
"May I not be born into the imperial family in my next life!"
