"You bastard, what are you talking about? Hongqing is the emperor's grandson. Do you think you can do whatever you want to him just because you're the crown prince? Who gave you that right?"

Kangxi didn't want to see the prince. He was the one who raised him. Even if he disliked the prince, he still had some feelings for him.

In order to prevent himself from feeling soft-hearted after seeing him, he ordered people to forbid the prince from entering the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

I didn't expect that this evil boy only knelt outside for half an hour and then started to talk without restraint. How outrageous!

"Is the Emperor willing to come out to see me? This is the first time I've realized how difficult it is to see the Emperor.

Since the Emperor doesn't want to see me, why didn't you let me tell him when I arrived?

I am the crown prince. The fact that the crown prince knelt outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity for half an hour must have spread throughout the harem. Don’t I have any face?

The Emperor likes Hongqing only because he is the third son's legitimate son. If the Emperor wants a legitimate grandson, I can give birth to one.

Moreover, I am the legitimate son born to the empress, and my legitimate son is your legitimate grandson. The children born to others are illegitimate grandsons. How can I not touch a illegitimate son?

You must know that among ordinary people, illegitimate children are treated as slaves in front of legitimate children. As slaves, I can do whatever I want with them."

After receiving the news from Yuqing Palace, Soetu hurried into the palace. As a result, as soon as he arrived at Qianqing Palace, he heard the prince's crazy words.

Is this the prince? I'm afraid he's been possessed by some evil spirit!

"This old minister pays his respects to the Emperor. His Highness the Crown Prince must have been possessed by an evil spirit. Please, for the Empress' sake, spare the Crown Prince this time.

"I heard that Prince Hongqing was not harmed. I will take the Crown Prince to the abode to apologize to the Third Prince and ask the Emperor to release His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Soetu cursed the prince for his stupidity in his heart and wished he could find a new prince, but they, the Hesheli clan, only had this one prince, so he had to protect him.

In his opinion, as long as the prince did not really kill Hongqing, he could be forgiven.

Just as the prince said, he is the legitimate son and the prince, so what's wrong with disposing of a bastard's son?

Kangxi looked at Suo Etu as if he were a fool. Where did he get the courage to plead for the crown prince? Was it just because he was the uncle of the empress?

"Suo Etu, I haven't blamed you for entering the palace without permission, but you came to me to plead for mercy. The prince has committed crimes that anyone can punish, so why should I forgive him?

Although Hongqing is young, he is my legitimate grandson. I don’t know where his sense of superiority comes from. He actually thinks that all the princes and princesses except him are slaves.

In my opinion, that evil boy was led astray by you guys. I remember he was not like this when he was a child."

Soetu was shocked. He suddenly felt that he should not have come this time. Kangxi's words clearly showed that he was going to vent his anger on their Hesheli clan.

He couldn't help but secretly glare at the prince. Why did he attack the emperor's grandson for no reason? Wouldn't it be better to attack the princes?

It is said that the relationship between generations is close. He seriously suspected that the prince's misfortune was caused by disturbing Kangxi's beloved grandchildren.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have pleaded for the Crown Prince without knowing right from wrong. But the Crown Prince is the only bloodline left by Empress Yuan. Even for Empress Yuan, I must protect the Crown Prince."

As Soetu spoke, tears began to fall from his eyes. He was really sad.

If the prince is finished, Hesheli will be finished too.

Kangxi was right. The prince's current state was indeed closely related to him, but everything he did was just to better tie the prince to the Hesheli family.

Ultimately, it was because the prince himself lacked self-control, otherwise how could he be instigated by them?

"Your Majesty, why do you have to embarrass my uncle? I have long known that you are dissatisfied with me, but you have never found the opportunity to depose me.

It's pretty good now. I have brought this upon myself. You have also found an opportunity to depose me. I think my third brother is on the way.

I wonder if my third brother will be qualified to succeed me as Crown Prince if I am deposed as Crown Prince."

Kangxi didn't expect that even at this time, the prince still didn't admit that he was wrong. Could it be that his education was really so poor that he couldn't teach the prince to admit his mistakes?

"Do you think I will forgive you like usual? Baocheng, you know how much effort I put into raising you to this age. I don't want you to make the same mistake again.

Whether it is Hongqing or Yinzhi and others, they are all your relatives. Today you can take action against Hongqing, who is only a few months old, but there is no guarantee that he will not take action against me for his own interests in the future.

I still remember that you loved playing with your brothers when you were a child. Now it seems that I have been wrong about you since you were a child.

Remember this, even though you are the legitimate son of Empress Yuan, the position of Crown Prince was given to you by me.

I made you the Crown Prince in the hope that you would become a wise ruler in the future and work with your brothers to create a prosperous Qing Dynasty, not to allow you to act like a master and treat your brothers as slaves."

The prince's face turned pale and blue, looking very much like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.

He had always been proud of his background and looked down on everyone. He never expected that in the eyes of Kangxi, even though he was the legitimate son, everything he had obtained was not what he deserved.

"Doesn't the Emperor want to consider the father-son relationship between us?"

"If you admit your mistake, I will still recognize you as my son. After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I can't do such a thing as killing my own son."

Admit his mistake? He is a child of destiny, how could he make a mistake?

Kangxi originally wanted to give the prince a chance, but he didn't expect that he didn't seize it. Since that was the case, everything was his.

"The Crown Prince, as the heir apparent, plotted to murder his brother's legitimate son. After the deed was exposed, he murdered him to silence him and refused to confess. He is now stripped of his crown prince position and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House."

The prince looked at Kangxi in disbelief. He was his own son. How could he issue such an order?

Imprisoning him in the clan residence, what a cruel heart!

"Father Your Majesty, I have only made a small mistake. Why would you dethrone me from the throne of Crown Prince? Why do you imprison me?

What kind of place is the Imperial Clan Court? Aren't you afraid that your son will die in there? If your son really dies in there, how will you explain it to the Empress Dowager?"

The deposed crown prince was already speaking without thinking, and Soetu was so frightened that he huddled on the ground to reduce his presence.

If he had known that today's matter would not end well, he would never have entered the palace no matter what.

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, I wonder what will become of his uncle, the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, I acknowledge my guilt. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for my diligent service to the Qing Dynasty."

Kangxi smiled when he saw Soetu suddenly pleading for mercy. He was so angry with the prince just now that he had forgotten about Soetu's existence.
