Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Garse and Fu walked in front with expressionless faces.

Prince Gong and Prince An followed behind them, their eyes fixed on Garse without moving for a moment.

As for all the rest of the people, they were far behind the three of them.

Nerfu looked gloomy, while Chuntai had a calm expression.

Carrots and sticks are always the best way to win people's hearts.

After Kangxi won over Garse to his side, he did not punish the others too severely. Even Nerfu, who was accused the most seriously, was only fined half a year's salary and was forced to reflect on himself for a year.

As for Chang Ning and Malhun, they only had to reflect on their mistakes for three months.

This punishment was not painful at all for them. On the surface, the two of them suffered no loss at all.

But what is the reality?

Zong Ling has completely separated from their camp and can only stand behind the emperor in the future, or...

Standing behind the prince.

One of them hated the prince so much, while the other dreamed of bringing him down. As a result, Zong Ling, whom they had worked so hard to "raise", became the enemy's watchdog so easily.

How could the two of them accept this?

After walking out of Chonghua Gate, Malhun finally couldn't help but called out to Garse's back.

"Lord Zong Ling..."

Garse paused, thinking to himself, "Here it comes," and then turned back to look at Marhun.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Fuquan also stopped and waited for Marhun's next words.

Malhun and Chang Ning walked up to the two men, and their faces looked extremely bad.

"Is Zong Ling sure he wants to side with...him?"

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Garse's lips.

"This king only supports orthodoxy. How can there be any question of taking sides?"

"Supporting orthodoxy? That wasn't what Zong Ling said yesterday!"

Chang Ning sneered and looked at Garse with an increasingly unfriendly look.

orthodox?

Who is orthodox?

Anyone who is of Aisin-Gioro bloodline is qualified to sit in that position.

That is to say, he was too young when the emperor passed away, otherwise he might have been able to compete with his good third brother.

But now, his second brother is in power and the emperor is firmly on the throne, and he has become the emperor's most useless son!

Whenever he thought about the fact that he could only stay at home and that even the people who usually flattered him were replaced by useless playboys, he could not contain his anger.

It’s all the prince’s fault!

Garse looked at Chang Ning's indignant expression, and the amusement in his eyes became more intense.

"Then Your Majesty, please repeat what I said yesterday."

"you say……"

Chang Ning was about to say something, but suddenly he couldn't say it.

Because they had agreed yesterday that after Garse made the request to "depose the crown prince", he, Malhun, Nerfu and others would stand up to support Garse.

However, Garse proposed it according to their agreement, but they were all like mutes, carefully observing Kangxi's attitude, and no one stood up.

"Oh, it seems you remembered it."

Garse's face darkened.

"I trust you, but what have you done? You treat me as a stepping stone! If the Emperor holds me accountable today, I will lose my position as clan leader, and I'm afraid it won't be long before I lose my title!"

"It's true that I hold the title of a hereditary prince, but no one has ever stipulated that the heir must be my own. Once I lose the title and am no longer of any use to you, will you still treat me the same way as before?"

"Do you dare to promise?!"

When Chuntai and others approached, they heard Zong Ling questioning Prince Gong and the other two.

Everyone had different expressions.

But most of them sympathize with Garse.

Chuntai curled his lips when he saw this.

I can only say that these ones in front of me are not good people.

They exploited each other, and in the end, nothing happened. No one has the right to blame the other.

Marhun narrowed his eyes, looked at Garse for a long time, and finally laughed.

"I only hope... that Zong Ling will not regret it in the future."

After he finished speaking, he planned to pull Chang Ning around Garse and Fuquan, but before he took two steps, he heard Garse say sarcastically,

"Whether or not I'll regret it in the future is not the point. But if I follow your advice and reject the Emperor's good intentions, I will regret it today!"

Malhun paused for a moment, then continued to pull Chang Ning forward, but the hostility around him became even stronger.

After watching the two people walk away, Garse took a deep breath and turned to walk towards Chuntai.

Seeing this, Chuntai immediately put away his expression of enjoying the show, and his face was soon covered with frost.

"Chuntai..."

Garse called out with a tone full of guilt.

Chuntai took a step back.

"Lord Zong Ling, it would be more appropriate to call me Prince Kang."

Garse choked, then sighed deeply.

"Semafa knows you're angry. Semafa is indeed wrong about this matter, so I want to apologize to you..."

As he spoke, he bowed towards Chuntai.

Chuntai did not dodge or avoid, and accepted Garse's apology firmly.

Seeing this, the people around started to murmur.

"Chuntai is really ignorant of etiquette. How could he allow Zong Ling to give him such a grand ceremony?"

"That's right, according to seniority, Chuntai calls Zong Ling Mafa."

"Who says it's not true? If my descendants dare to disrespect their elders like this, I will directly use the family rules!"

"Prince Kang left early, otherwise how could Chuntai dare to do this?"

"that is……"

Chuntai was still young, with sharp ears and eyes, and he could hear the discussions of his clansmen everywhere.

But he doesn't care at all.

After Garse finished his greeting and stood up, Chuntai's expression remained indifferent. He stared at Garse.

"I am a prince, and the head of the Prince Li family. I don't know where you got the courage to take advantage of me. I will accept your apology for now, but as for the rest, I will not let any of them go!"

After saying that, Chuntai flicked his sleeves and left the place in big strides.

After hearing Chuntai's words, the discussions stopped abruptly.

They only focused on Chuntai's seniority, but forgot that except for Prince Gong and Prince Yu, no one in the royal family in the capital had a higher title than Chuntai.

If calculated according to the title, Chuntai would definitely be able to bear it even if Garse knelt down to pay his respects to him.

Garse looked at Chuntai's receding back with a gloomy look in his eyes.

The reason why he apologized to Chuntai in front of everyone was to make Chuntai feel his sincerity and give up targeting him.

If Chuntai were a little softer-hearted, it wouldn't be impossible to reconcile with him.

Now it seems that his goal has indeed been achieved.

only……

Garse glanced at the other tribesmen who were watching the fun, and the feeling of suffocation in his heart increased.

The road to reconciliation is completely blocked by these idiots!
