The eldest princess took Shang Yizhi to offer incense, and happened to meet Lin Xiang in the temple. Lin Xiang was the emperor's confidant and a close official of the imperial court. Now he specially brought his daughter Lin Zerou with him. The eldest princess understood it at a glance. After a while, she asked Shang Yizhi to accompany Lin Zerou around while she talked to Lin Xiang's waiter.
The eldest princess insinuatedly asked Lin Xiang if he still wanted to get rid of the prince's job. It would be better to see if her son Yi Zhi could catch his eye. The eldest princess's intention was very clear, but Lin Xiang argued that he was too old to see clearly who was the heir to the throne. His daughter Lin Zerou is smart and sensible, and can see clearly better than him.
King Kang quickly attacked the East Palace and asked his informant in the East Palace to trick the grandson into leaving, hide him in a quiet place, and then deliver the news to the prince. If the prince did not hand over the seal, the emperor's grandson would be in danger of his life. .
The prince was well aware of the difficulty of this matter, and could not alarm the emperor now, so he had to rush to the Shengguo Palace overnight and entrusted Amai and Shang Yizhi to rescue Qi Yu.

Once the news reached the emperor's ears, he would no longer doubt Qi Yu's identity. , will only hate King Kang even more.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard that the prince was poisoned to death in Prince Kang's palace, he was so furious that he suffered a stroke immediately. Seeing the emperor collapse to the ground, unable to move, Prime Minister Lin immediately warned that the court was about to change. He was not afraid of danger and called the eunuchs around him to ask for the imperial doctor. Take care of the emperor and then take action yourself.
Seeing the situation, King Kang wanted to win over Prime Minister Lin, and immediately wanted to worship him as his teacher. King Kang's stupidity could not be seen by Prime Minister Lin. From the beginning, Prime Minister Lin was the prince's tutor. At the moment of turmoil, Prime Minister Lin quietly went to Prince Sheng's Mansion. The eldest princess promised to let him His daughter Lin Zerou became the queen, and he determined the composition of the household department. In this way, Prime Minister Lin abandoned the prince and began to secretly help Shang Yi to rebel.
