"Your Highness, how can you enter the palace in this state?" Tana noticed that the Eighth Prince's back was bleeding again.

"I'll crawl to the palace, even if I have to!" the Eighth Prince said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was so insistent, Tana didn't say anything more. She was now trying to stop him from entering the palace, but no one could guarantee that the Eighth Prince wouldn't resent her for it later.

So Tana ordered people to make the carriage more sturdy and had the Eighth Prince lifted onto it.

"Tana, I'm entrusting the affairs of the manor to you!" the Eighth Prince said sincerely to Tana.

"Don't worry, Master!" Tana replied.

After entering the palace, the Eighth Prince, disregarding the injury on his back, knelt outside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace and said, "Father, I beg you to allow Mother to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum."

"Liang Jiugong, go and see what's going on?" Kangxi said displeased.

When Liang Jiugong came out, he saw the Eighth Prince kneeling at the entrance of the main hall. "Eighth Prince, you still have an injury on your back! Get up quickly!"

The Eighth Prince remained unmoved and continued to kneel: "Eunuch Liang, I want to see Father Emperor!"

Seeing this, Liang Jiugong sighed helplessly, feeling sorry for Kangxi. Although he appeared to be a glamorous emperor, he actually had a harder life than an ordinary citizen.

The matter of the Crown Prince had not yet been resolved, and now the Eighth Prince had arrived. Kangxi had to balance all the forces and make the right decision, otherwise another incident would ensue.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform them!" Liang Jiugong said before going inside.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is requesting an audience outside the palace!"

Emperor Kangxi could guess why the Eighth Prince had come. He didn't want to see the Eighth Prince, but he also knew that if he didn't see him, the Eighth Prince probably wouldn't go back. "Let him in!"

After the Eighth Prince entered, he knelt down and said, "Father, I beg you to allow Mother to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. This is the last act of filial piety I can do for Mother as her son."

"Yinzhi, you should know what Consort Liang did. I only allowed her to be buried next to the imperial mausoleum because of you!" Kangxi said expressionlessly.

The Eighth Prince kowtowed deeply, "Your subject knows that Mother has made a mistake, but Father, Mother has already passed away. I beg you to give her one last moment of dignity!"

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Yinsi, I have not blamed you for Consort Liang's matter, so you should be content!"

Don't you know what Consort Liang has done? You probably do know, don't you?

I originally intended to spare her life, but even in the Cold Palace, she was still plotting to frame the Crown Prince, and even went so far as to use you!

I never knew that those around me could be so ruthless!

[The Crown Prince, it's the Crown Prince again!] The Eighth Prince secretly clenched his hands.

"Father, I know this matter has put you in a difficult position, but no matter what, she is my birth mother. I don't want her to suffer such a fate after death." The Eighth Prince kowtowed repeatedly until blood seeped from his forehead.

When Kangxi saw the Eighth Prince's appearance, he felt a pang of pity, after all, he was his own son. But when he thought of everything Consort Liang had done, he hardened his heart.

"Yin Si, my decree has been issued and will not be changed. I will not pursue whether your actions are for the purpose of filial piety or for other purposes."

"I will allow you to arrange Consort Liang's funeral within your residence, but if you are still not satisfied, I will issue an edict ordering Consort Liang to be buried immediately!"

The Eighth Prince looked at Kangxi with resentment.

Liang Jiugong advised from the side, "Eighth Prince, you should hurry back to the manor to handle the funeral arrangements and let Consort Liang rest in peace as soon as possible!"

Then he brought Kangxi a fresh cup of tea and said, “Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is only acting out of filial piety, so please don’t blame him anymore.”

Kangxi took the tea and sipped it. "That's enough, Yinzhi. You may leave."

After the Eighth Prince kowtowed to express his gratitude to the Emperor, he staggered away from the Qianqing Palace.

He was filled with grief, yet powerless to do anything. He knew that Kangxi had made his decision, and it could not be changed!

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the Eighth Prince did not leave the palace itself, but instead headed towards the Yuqing Palace.
