At the time of his father's death in 1722, Yinti was away on military duties in Xinjiang, and after he heard the news immediately returned to the Capital. The throne had been inherited by Yinzhen, who took on the Reign title of Yongzheng. Yongzheng had never trusted Yinti, and appointed him to the official post of watching over the Imperial Mausoleum, living in total seclusion in the outskirts of Beijing. Yinti was released after Yongzheng died (1735).
