After returning to Cining Palace, Granny Su relayed the Crown Prince's words to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, then said, "The Crown Prince harbors resentment and is dissatisfied that the Emperor has not punished Consort Liang. In that case, let us grant the Crown Prince's wish!"

The Empress Dowager did not want to see Kangxi and the Crown Prince become estranged because of Consort Liang, as this would be detrimental to both themselves and the Qing Dynasty.

"Granny Su, convey my decree: Consort Liang's attempt to harm the imperial heir is an unforgivable crime. She is hereby demoted to commoner status and immediately banished to the Cold Palace!" the Empress Dowager said with a grim expression.

"Empress Dowager, shall we discuss this with the Emperor?" Su Mama asked tentatively.

"No need. If the Emperor has any complaints, just have him come to me!" The Empress Dowager was worried that Kangxi wouldn't come to her. Now that he was here, she could talk to him about it.

"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Su Mama replied.

When Kangxi heard that the Empress Dowager had received the decree, he was taken aback, but then he realized that the Empress Dowager was avenging the Crown Prince!

"Alas! It seems I am no longer the most beloved grandson of my grandmother!" Kangxi sighed.

Liang Jiugong, who was standing to the side, was really struggling to hold back his laughter; his shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

"Laugh if you want to!" Kangxi rolled his eyes at Liang Jiugong.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has asked the Crown Princess to return to the General's Mansion for a few more days!" Liang Jiugong said after calming down.

"Back to the General's Mansion?" Kangxi asked, puzzled.

"yes!"

"Since the Empress Dowager has spoken, the Crown Princess should return to the General's Mansion for a few days!"

"Liang Jiugong, go and select some tonics to send to the Crown Princess!" Kangxi instructed.

“Yes!” Liang Jiugong replied.

He Xue looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief, "Crown Prince, has the Ancestor really agreed to let me return to the General's Mansion?"

"That's right!" The Crown Prince playfully pinched He Xue's nose. "Quickly, tell Qingdai and the others to pack their things!"

"Okay!" He Xue immediately started packing up Qingdai and Xia Bing's things.

When He Xue came out with Qing Dai and Xia Bing, she saw that the Crown Prince was already waiting for her, with He Zhu carrying a bundle behind him.

He Xue pointed at He Zhu in surprise and asked, "Brother Crown Prince, what do you mean by this? Are you going to the General's Mansion with me?"

"That's right!" the Crown Prince said with a smile. "Didn't Father Emperor tell me to take care of you? Of course I'll follow along!"

"Will Father Emperor agree?" He Xue asked.

"Anyway, I'm under house arrest now, so what difference does it make where I'm under house arrest?" the Crown Prince said nonchalantly.

"But..." He Xue wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Crown Prince, "There are no buts, let's go!"

Just as He Xue was about to get into the carriage, Liang Jiugong arrived with Emperor Kangxi's gifts.

Liang Jiugong handed the Kangdi reward to He Xue, then looked at the Crown Prince, "Is Your Highness going to escort the Crown Princess back to the General's Mansion?"

"I also want to stay at the General's Mansion for a while!" the Crown Prince said.

"Is His Highness the Crown Prince also going to stay at the General's Mansion for a while?" Liang Jiugong asked in surprise.

"Is that not allowed? Didn't Father Emperor order me to take care of the Crown Princess? Naturally, wherever the Crown Princess is, I will be there! I dare not disobey the imperial decree!"

The Crown Prince's words left Liang Jiugong speechless.

"In that case, this old servant will not bother you any longer!" Liang Jiugong shook his head helplessly, turned and left. He needed to hurry up and tell the Emperor the news, and maybe he could still stop the Crown Prince.

As soon as Liang Jiugong left, the Crown Prince immediately ordered him to leave the palace quickly. In case Kangxi did not agree to him going to the General's Mansion, he could not insist on leaving the palace!
