Reborn as the Doted Child Bride of the Deposed Crown Prince

He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...

Chapter 513 The Crown Prince's Power

Kangxi raised his head and looked at Liang Jiugong, "Who ordered him to do this?"

Kangxi absolutely did not believe that no one had instructed that guard. If he hadn't left in time, the Eighth Prince would have been crippled. This person was so vicious and despicable.

Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi with trepidation.

Kangxi noticed Liang Jiugong's expression and his heart sank. Anyone who could elicit such an expression from Liang Jiugong must be someone of extraordinary status. "Speak!"

"Your Majesty, the guard said that the Crown Prince ordered him to do this!" Liang Jiugong said, then quickly lowered his head.

"What? Who is it?" Although Kangxi was prepared, he still found it hard to believe when he heard the result.

Liang Jiugong knew that Kangxi had heard him clearly. He was just finding it hard to accept. Kangxi didn't need him to remind him again, so he didn't speak, but lowered his head even further.

Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon throne in shock. He never imagined that the Crown Prince would do such a thing.

"He's already the Crown Prince, what more could he possibly want? Why would he do this?" Kangxi murmured to himself.

Seeing this, Liang Jiugong quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health. There may be other hidden reasons in this matter, and further investigation is needed."

After calming himself down slightly, Emperor Kangxi said, "Summon... Prince Yu to the palace immediately!"

Emperor Kangxi originally intended to entrust this matter to Tong Guowei, but considering his relationship with Xue, he decided to entrust it to Prince Yu to investigate.

"Has the Crown Prince left the palace?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, yes! The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have gone to the General's Mansion!"

"Summon the Crown Prince back to the palace immediately!" Kangxi ordered.

After receiving the decree, Liang Jiugong hurriedly left to convey its message.

Emperor Kangxi pondered to himself: [Is this matter related to the Crown Prince? Why did the Crown Prince do this? Could it be because of Consort Liang's plot to harm He Xue?]

If that's the case, wouldn't He Xue have too much influence on the Crown Prince? He doesn't want his son to be too obsessed with romance! Especially the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the Qing Dynasty, he absolutely cannot be too obsessed with women!

However, he couldn't say much about the Crown Prince's condition, in case the Crown Prince's strange illness hadn't been cured yet, and Xue was the only woman the Crown Prince could get close to.

If the Crown Prince really did this, he not only cannot punish the Crown Prince, but he must also cover it up for the Crown Prince, so that the Crown Prince cannot bear the crime of harming his own brother.

But even the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty couldn't be so intolerant! He dared to plot against the Eighth Prince while he was still alive; what if he were gone? Would the Crown Prince then slaughter all his brothers?

Kangxi suddenly realized something that terrified him: without his knowledge, the power around the Crown Prince had grown stronger and stronger.

With the Hesheli clan of Suo'etu and the Guarjia clan of Suhetai behind the Crown Prince, it is likely that the Tongjia clan also secretly followed the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince got along fairly well with his other brothers, except for the Eighth Prince, who seemed to be at odds with him.

Although the eldest prince and the crown prince usually didn't get along, Kangxi believed that if the eldest prince had to choose between his father and the crown prince, he would definitely choose the crown prince.

Needless to say, the Fourth Prince would definitely choose the Crown Prince without hesitation.

The Third Prince will likely also choose the Crown Prince.

He Xue gets along well with the wives of all the princes, which should help the Crown Prince gain popularity. The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince may not openly choose the Crown Prince, but they will not be his enemies either.

Needless to say, the Ninth Prince has been reportedly working with He Xue to open shops, so his choice is self-evident.

The Tenth Prince always followed the Ninth Prince around, so his choice was quite obvious.

This analysis was quite significant; after analyzing it, Kangxi broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that all the adult princes supported the crown prince.

The Crown Prince's current power is not to be underestimated, but Kangxi is unwilling to believe that the Crown Prince, whom he raised from childhood, would have any disloyal intentions towards him.
