Looking at Jing Shu's constipated face, the Crown Prince finally felt relieved.

If looks could kill, the Crown Prince would probably have been killed countless times by Jing Shu's gaze.

At this moment, in Jing Shu's eyes, the Crown Prince was someone who wanted to take his sister away, so how could he be polite to the Crown Prince?

Jing Shu still feels a pang in his heart when he recalls the Crown Prince's words.

The Crown Prince actually said to him, "I'll leave He Xue in your care, brother-in-law. I'll make time to visit her. I'm quite at ease entrusting my little wife to your care!"

Jing Shu was in a state of utter frustration. Who was his brother-in-law? Who was going to be his brother-in-law? Who was his future wife?

The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow at Jing Shu with a smug look; he still had a way of controlling Jing Shu.

Inside Chengqian Palace, "Sister, is there something you want to tell me?" Lady Tongjia said to the Imperial Noble Consort.

The Imperial Noble Consort glanced at Ren Dong, who waved to the others in the room. Everyone else left, and Ren Dong stood guard at the door.

"Qingyao, have you noticed that the Crown Prince seems to treat Hexue a little differently?" the Imperial Noble Consort asked.

"Sister, what do you mean?" Tongjia asked uncertainly.

"It's exactly what you think!" the Imperial Noble Consort said confidently.

Through her previous interactions with the Crown Prince, Lady Tongjia had noticed that he seemed to treat Hexue somewhat differently. She hadn't paid much attention to it, only hoping that Hexue would reduce her visits to the palace. Little did she know that her guess had come true.

"Sister, there is an eight-year age gap between Hexue and the Crown Prince. Could it be that the Crown Prince only sees Hexue as a younger sister?" Lady Tongjia did not want Hexue to have any connection with the Crown Prince, and she was afraid that Emperor Kangxi would not allow such a thing to happen.

“The way the Crown Prince looks at He Xue doesn’t lie. The Crown Prince always refers to himself as ‘I’ in front of He Xue, and has never referred to himself as ‘I’!”

The Crown Prince really cares about He Xue, which is not a good thing for He Xue. He Xue is simple-minded and not suited to the intrigue and scheming of the palace!

In the future, Xue and I should try not to enter the palace. Once the Crown Prince gets married, he may forget about Xue and I.

After all, the Crown Prince couldn't just keep waiting to marry Xue! The Imperial Noble Consort was surprised that the Crown Prince actually did it.

“I understand, sister!” Tongjia replied.

"Try not to let Su Hetai know about this, otherwise he'll cause a huge uproar!"

"Alright! I understand!" After chatting with the Imperial Noble Consort for a while, Lady Tongjia left the palace with Hexue.

After the Crown Prince and Xue left the palace, he also left the palace and went directly to Suo'etu's residence.

Seeing the Crown Prince's angry expression, Suo'etu wondered why the Crown Prince was always like this whenever he came to his residence!

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Soetu asked cautiously.

The crown prince picked up the teacup beside him and smashed it at Suo'etu's feet. "You've been ignoring everything I've said, haven't you?"

Seeing the Crown Prince's attitude, Suo'etu no longer cared about the Crown Prince's reputation. After all, he was the Crown Prince's maternal great-uncle. The Crown Prince's actions today showed that he had no respect for him at all!

Soetu did not speak but sat down first, picked up his teacup, and slowly took a sip of tea. "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? This servant does not understand!"

If His Highness the Crown Prince is angry, do not take it out on me at my residence!

"I ask you, did you send someone to kill He Xue?" The Crown Prince clenched his fists, veins bulging.

“Your Highness, don’t accuse me of things without evidence!” Soetu said unmoved.

"I'm here today because I have evidence, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my breath on you!"

First, you took advantage of Consort Li in the Cold Palace, who was mentally unstable. You had people constantly speak ill of He Xue in front of her. Then, when He Xue was alone, you released Consort Li out of the Cold Palace and sent her to assassinate He Xue.

"You even went so far as to have Physician Liu, who was on leave at the time, summoned away in order to put He Xue to death! Am I right, Lord Suo?" The Crown Prince looked at Suo'etu with a sinister gaze.

"Your Highness is too kind. Even if this servant were incredibly powerful, I could never possibly have a hand in the inner palace! I cannot bear the crime of causing chaos in the palace!" Soetu said with a smile.

"Father has already sent Zhao Chang to investigate this matter. Whether you admit it or not is irrelevant. Just handle this matter cleanly. If Father catches you doing anything wrong, I can't save you!"

When Suo'etu heard that Kangxi had sent Zhao Chang to investigate the matter, he was startled, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I'll tell you one more time, don't set your sights on He Xue. I can let this go for now. But if there's a next time, I will absolutely not let you off the hook, even if you are the Empress Dowager's uncle!" The Crown Prince said to Suo'etu with a sinister look.

"Haha, the Aisin Gioro family has produced many romantics in every generation. I never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would be the romantic of his generation! I wonder what His Majesty would think if he knew? Would he think that He Xue is a femme fatale?" Soetu said, looking at the Crown Prince.

"You're threatening me?" the Crown Prince sneered.

"This servant wouldn't dare!" Although Soetu said this, he remained seated steadily.

"Lord Suo, do you think Father Emperor would allow someone who cannot be near women to sit on the position of Crown Prince? If he cannot be near women, I'm afraid his future offspring will also be a problem. Can such a person be the Crown Prince?"

Soetu stared in shock, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"
