"Don't rush, let me think about it." Abao was clearly still a bit unsure about this sudden situation, and he was afraid that if he went to tell the Emperor, it would bring even greater trouble to the Crown Prince.

“Eunuch Bao, there’s no time to lose. If you hesitate any longer, I’m afraid the Crown Prince will have already done something irreversible. If we speak up now, the Emperor might be lenient towards the Crown Prince since he hasn’t taken any action yet,” Xiao Quanzi said.

Upon hearing this, A Bao's hesitation vanished, because Xiao Quanzi was right.

“Alright, I’ll go to the Qianqing Palace to see Eunuch Chang. His Majesty went to the Western Hills hunting grounds yesterday, so there’s no one in the palace right now. I can only ask Eunuch Chang to send someone to inform His Majesty immediately,” A Bao said.

“Yes, Eunuch Bao, please go quickly,” Xiao Quanzi said. “The Emperor may spare the Crown Prince, but he will never spare the Crown Princess and the Shi family.”

Ah Bao never expected that this little eunuch would hate the Crown Princess and her family so much; it was quite unexpected.

After agreeing on their plans, the two went their separate ways. Xiao Quanzi intended to persuade the Crown Prince not to continue his stubborn ways and commit an unforgivable mistake. A Bao, on the other hand, immediately went to the Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, A Bao's thoughts shifted several times. He knew of the Crown Prince's dissatisfaction with Kangxi, but it remained just a thought; he had never put it into practice. Why was he suddenly about to take action now?

Ah Bao used to frequently accompany the Crown Prince to the Qianqing Palace, so he was familiar with all the eunuchs there and had a decent relationship with them.

Because Emperor Kangxi had already relieved himself, all the doors of the Qianqing Palace were closed.

Ah Bao arrived at the door, reached out and touched the doorknob, then began to knock loudly.

"Who dares to make such a racket here!" the gatekeeper eunuch inside shouted impatiently.

"Little Qiu, it's me. I have something important to tell Eunuch Chang, please open the door quickly." Abao recognized the eunuch guarding the door and said immediately.

"Who are you?" Xiao Qiu asked in return.

"It's me, Abao, from the Crown Prince's side. Open the door quickly, I have something extremely important to tell Eunuch Chang," Abao said urgently.

Xiao Qiuzi, who was inside the door, paused for a moment, then said, "Wait here!"

After saying that, he didn't open the door, but instead ran inside to report A Bao's arrival.

Besides Liang Jiugong, Eunuch Chang was also the head eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. He also knew that Kangxi had not left the palace. When Xiao Qiuzi came to report, he was greatly surprised and quickly waved Xiao Qiuzi away, telling him not to open the door for the time being.

"Your Majesty, Abao, the Crown Prince's attendant, is outside the door. He says he has something of utmost importance to discuss with me. I dare not make a decision on my own. Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty." Eunuch Chang entered the inner room alone and spoke to Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi was reading when he heard Eunuch Chang say this, and then he looked up and asked, "What is he trying to say?"

Eunuch Chang immediately said, "This servant has not yet let him in. This servant has come specifically to ask His Majesty for a decision."

"Let him in and see what he has to say," Kangxi said.

Following Emperor Kangxi's instructions, Eunuch Chang personally went to the entrance of the Qianqing Palace and met A Bao.

"Abao, what brings you here? What's the matter?" Eunuch Chang asked casually.

"Eunuch Chang, I have something important to discuss. Could we talk in your room? It's not very convenient to talk here." Abao saw that Xiao Qiuzi was also there.

After giving him a few glances, Eunuch Chang led A Bao to his room. As A Bao walked along, he noticed that everyone in the palace seemed to be working with their heads down, and a sense of unease began to creep into his heart.

Once inside Eunuch Chang's room, A Bao suppressed her doubts and said to him, "Eunuch Chang, what I'm about to say may sound unbelievable, but you'd better send a message to the Emperor by carrier pigeon immediately."

When Emperor Kangxi went out, he would usually take carrier pigeons with him, just in case something happened in the palace, so that he could make contact.

"What exactly happened?" Eunuch Chang asked, a little nervous at the look on A Bao's face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness has been instigated by Shi Shi to plot against the Emperor. Your Excellency, Your Highness is confused; he has been manipulated by the Crown Princess. Please immediately send a message to the Emperor by carrier pigeon so that he may be prepared," A Bao said hurriedly.

Eunuch Chang hadn't expected this. Although he knew that Kangxi hadn't gone out, he didn't know why. Hearing what Abao said, he immediately understood. However, he still had to pretend to be very surprised and asked, "Abao, you shouldn't talk nonsense about such things."

“I know that such things shouldn’t be said carelessly. Eunuch Chang, please hurry, I’m afraid it will be too late if we’re late,” A Bao said.

Suppressing his shock, Eunuch Chang said to A Bao, "Alright, I'll go right away. You go back first and keep an eye on the Crown Prince."

Abao nodded and said, "Eunuch Chang, I'm not here to joke with you."

Grandpa Chang nodded and quickly saw Abao out.

Then, he immediately turned back to see Emperor Kangxi.

"You mean, this is the message he came to deliver?" Kangxi asked in surprise.

"Yes, he told me that the Crown Prince was plotting something sinister and ordered me to immediately send a message by carrier pigeon to the Western Hills hunting grounds," said Eunuch Chang.

Kangxi pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Just release an empty dove. Perhaps that servant is still waiting outside the Qianqing Palace."

Eunuch Chang glanced at Emperor Kangxi and silently withdrew.

Emperor Kangxi never expected that a eunuch would come to deliver the message. Could it be that he regretted it?

As expected, A Bao didn't go far. He walked along the wall to the side of the Qianqing Palace where the carrier pigeons were kept, waiting to see if Eunuch Chang would release the carrier pigeons to send a message.

Not long after, Abao saw a carrier pigeon fly out from inside, and only then did he feel relieved and head towards the Crown Prince's Palace.

When Xiao Quanzi returned to the Crown Prince's side, he found that the Crown Prince had already woken up and was sitting on the bed with red eyes.

"Where did you go?" the Crown Prince asked, staring at Xiao Quanzi.

"This servant had an upset stomach and went to the outhouse. Why is Your Highness awake?" Xiao Quanzi asked.

"Is that so? I just sent people to look for you, but they didn't find you in the latrine." The Crown Prince stared at Xiao Quanzi and said.

Xiao Quanzi shuddered and quickly said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was just being lazy and went to my room to sleep for a while."

"Nonsense, Xiao Quanzi! Don't think I won't punish you. Now, tell me the truth, and I might not do anything to you," the Crown Prince roared. He had just woken up and, finding Xiao Quanzi missing, had ordered people to look for him. They searched everywhere but couldn't find him, finally spotting him coming out of A Bao's room.

"This servant, this servant went to see Eunuch Abao." Xiao Quanzi knelt down with a thud.

"What are you going to see him for?" the Crown Prince asked, seeing that he was finally willing to tell the truth.

"This servant, this servant apologized to him. Eunuch Abao has always been the Crown Prince's most trusted man. This servant angered him, which caused him to dislike this servant. So this servant wanted to tell him not to distinguish between people, as we are all people serving the Crown Prince," Xiao Quanzi cried aggrievedly.
