The eldest prince, his playful demeanor vanished, and looked at the crown prince with a serious expression, saying, "Eighth Prince's intentions are far too malicious; he actually made Ulanara Rouze marry you while she was pregnant with his child!"

Fortunately, you saw through his plans beforehand, otherwise you would have been the most pathetic crown prince of the Qing Dynasty!

The Crown Prince, however, seemed indifferent. "Eighth Prince is too self-righteous. He thought his plan was foolproof and could be concealed from everyone, but in the end, he shot himself in the foot."

In the end, didn't he still bite the bullet and let Ulanara Rouze in?

"Brother, don't be too angry. I can mistake anyone for someone else, but I would never mistake He Xue!"

"Second brother, you and He Xue have been married for a while now, but He Xue's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy!"

"You're not really in trouble, are you?" the eldest prince asked the crown prince, his gaze shifting downwards towards the crown prince's lower body.

Upon hearing the eldest prince's words, the crown prince's face instantly darkened. He glared at the eldest prince and then said, "Elder brother, He Xue is still young, and childbirth is very dangerous for women, so I plan to wait a few years before making a decision."

After hearing the Crown Prince's words, the First Prince felt that Empress Xiaochengren's affair had had a negative impact on the Crown Prince. "Since you've made up your mind, that's fine. But you must handle this matter well, otherwise you and Xue will still suffer!"

Although this was the Crown Prince's idea, if He Xue does not conceive, she will have to bear all the blame.

The Crown Prince never expected that his usually impetuous eldest son could be so thoughtful. "I understand!"

The eldest prince leaned closer to the crown prince, his face full of gossip, "Second prince, is this really not an excuse you came up with? You're not really impotent, are you?"

"I have no problem!" the Crown Prince said through gritted teeth.

"Then I'm relieved!" The eldest prince stopped talking about it when he saw that the crown prince was about to get angry.

"This time, Father Emperor has really been too biased towards the Eighth Prince. I've figured it out now. It's impossible for Father Emperor to punish the Eighth Prince!"

Second brother, you really don't plan to rebel? I'll definitely support you then!

Before the crown prince could speak, an angry voice came from behind him.

"You unfilial son, I had no idea you harbored such ambitions!" Kangxi was surprised to hear such treasonous words as soon as he entered.

"Why do I hear Father Emperor's voice? Is it because I miss Father Emperor too much?" The eldest prince looked completely bewildered.

The Crown Prince calmly rose, then turned around, saying, "Your subject pays respects to Father Emperor!"

Upon seeing this, the eldest prince immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"

"Do you think I'm any better than you? You're practically rebelling against me!" Kangxi said to the eldest prince with a grim expression.

"Father, how could you eavesdrop on your son's conversation? This is eavesdropping! How can a dignified ruler of a country do such a thing? It's so unbecoming of you!" the eldest prince said with a grin.

"So you're saying it's my fault?" Kangxi said angrily.

When Kangxi arrived, he learned that the eldest prince's family was also there. He was quite curious about what the eldest prince would say to the crown prince. It seemed that the eldest prince and the crown prince did not have a good relationship when they were young. He didn't know when their relationship improved, but it seemed to have been after Xue was born.

Therefore, Kangxi ordered his men to take control of the people in the estate and forbid anyone from informing the Crown Prince. As a result, Kangxi arrived at the Crown Prince and the First Prince's side without any hindrance, and the Crown Prince did not receive any notification.

"Your subject didn't say anything, you said it yourself!" the eldest prince said innocently.

"You unfilial son!" Emperor Kangxi was so angry at his eldest son that he was speechless for a moment, and could only utter this one sentence.

"Father, please calm down. The eldest prince was just joking. Besides, you know he doesn't think before he speaks! Please don't take it to heart!" the Crown Prince pleaded.

"When have I ever spoken without thinking?" the eldest prince muttered under his breath, clearly dissatisfied.

"Shut up!" the crown prince said sternly.

The eldest prince awkwardly shut his mouth.

Kangxi snorted coldly, "How can you say such things so casually?"

The crown prince nudged the eldest prince with his elbow.

The eldest prince quickly said, "Your subject knows his mistake, Your subject will never say it again."

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then said, "Enough, get up. But you must never again utter such treasonous words."

"Thank you, Father Emperor," the two said in unison.

He Xue and the First Princess Consort also arrived with Ji Lan and Shu Shu, "Greetings, Father Emperor!"

"Get up!" Kangxi said.

"Father, why did you leave the palace?" He Xue asked. It didn't seem too safe in the capital now. What if they ran into anti-Qing and pro-Ming people?

"I just came out for a casual stroll!" Kangxi said casually.

He Xue knew that Kangxi definitely didn't leave the palace casually. Could it be for the sake of the Crown Prince?

"Father, you must be tired from the long journey by carriage. Why don't you let the Crown Prince take you to rest? You can stay here for lunch before going back. The Crown Prince just caught a lot of fish!"

"Alright then!" Kangxi replied reluctantly.

The Crown Prince then took Kangxi to rest.
