"I was not thoughtful enough in this matter. I really shouldn't have harmed myself for a slave. Please come to the palace and wake me up."

Soetu knew that the eunuch must have said something to the prince that made him change his mind, but it didn't matter, his purpose was to make the prince remember his kindness.

Now it seems that this goal has been achieved. In this case, there is no need for him to hold on to it.

But he finally understood that the old woman must have tricked him before she died, otherwise how could the prince treat him like that?

"It's good that Your Highness can understand. She's just a servant, not worth your worry. You're not young anymore, you should focus on your studies.

You also know how much the Emperor values ​​Concubine Cheng and her son. If you don't live up to your expectations, I'm afraid that in a few years, the Seventh Prince will surpass you.

You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne of the Qing Dynasty. If your younger brother were to take your place, it would look bad in historical records.

Although this old minister is comforting you at the emperor's request, I wholeheartedly wish you the best, so Your Highness, please do not blame me for my occasional harshness."

No matter what, the prince has the blood of Hesheli, and he must let the prince know that he is sincere to him.

Even Emperor Kangxi was not as good as him, after all, Kangxi had many sons.

Although it has been decided to let Concubine Xi give birth to another royal heir, what if Concubine Xi gives birth to a princess?

Therefore, until there is a replacement, the prince is still the object of support of their entire family.

"I understand, uncle, don't worry, I won't let you down."

Soetu successfully appeased the prince, and then proposed to go to Chuxiu Palace to see Concubine Xi.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xi is your aunt. With her help in the palace, your future life will be much easier.

I have to go to Concubine Xi to discuss helping you, so I'll take my leave now. Please study hard, Your Highness, and don't slack off."

Soetu was going to go to Concubine Xi? To be honest, the Crown Prince didn't like Concubine Xi very much.

It’s not because Concubine Xi is a bad person, but because Concubine Xi always relies on the fact that she is his aunt to interfere in his affairs.

If Concubine Xi didn't live far away, she would probably come to Yuqing Palace every day.

The prince knew that Concubine Xi wanted to urge him to study and prepare him for the throne, but she always appeared here, which made him very unhappy.

"Grandpa, take care. I'm not in a good mood today, so I won't go with you. When you get there, please say hello to my aunt on my behalf.

When I have some free time later, I will go to Chuxiu Palace to visit my aunt.

There is still a long time to come, and I still need the care of my uncle and aunt. Uncle, don't worry, I won't let you down."

"I will obey your Highness. I will take my leave."

After Soetu left, the prince got up and went into the inner room.

He only dared to vent freely when there was no one around. If he didn't still need the support of Hesheli, he wouldn't have spoken so nicely.

When he ascends the throne, he will settle accounts one by one.

After leaving Yuqing Palace, Soetu headed towards Chuxiu Palace, and Concubine Xi had already received news that Hesheli was ready to support her.

"What you meant just now was that my uncle wanted to support my child to ascend to the throne? But I have no intention of showing favor to him anymore. I am afraid that I will disappoint the clan."

Concubine Xi was a sensible person. In her opinion, Emperor Kangxi now doted on Mu Sili and her children the most.

If she were really allowed to compete with Mu Sili for favor, she would probably die without knowing how.

Now that the crown prince's position is stable, as long as she wholeheartedly supports him, her life as the dowager queen will be easy when he ascends the throne.

If she really listened to her family's words and tried to win favor and have a child, and then made the prince unhappy, and he talked nonsense to Kangxi, then she would lose favor even if she had a son.

Once that situation comes, there will be no chance of regret, so she disagrees.

If the clan insisted on having her compete with Mu Sili for favor, then she suggested that they send another woman into the palace. She still decided to support the prince.

"Where is my uncle now? Is he in Yuqing Palace? If he is, I will go there.

No matter how you look at it, this matter has something to do with me, and I must let the prince see my attitude.

Since I am his aunt, I will naturally support him wholeheartedly. I have placed my trust in him, and this matter cannot be changed in any way."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Lord Suo'etu is probably already on his way to Chuxiu Palace. You should wait inside the palace."

"Your Majesty, Lord Soetu has arrived."

Concubine Xi looked helplessly at the person who spoke. The reason she wanted to go to Yuqing Palace was to avoid meeting Soetu.

Now, because of the delay just now, my uncle must have arrived.

Now that everyone is here and she can see clearly, she will talk it over with her uncle here.

"Please come in, uncle."

"yes."

After Soetu came in, he found a place to sit down. Although Concubine Xi was now a concubine, in his eyes she was still the little concubine.

Since he has decided to support her, she won't bother with him about this.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? I'm just about to go to Yuqing Palace to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If there's nothing important, I'll go to Yuqing Palace first."

"Wait, Your Majesty, are you planning to go to Yuqing Palace? I just came out of Yuqing Palace, and I'm afraid Your Highness is too busy to see you right now."

"Really? Then I won't go. I heard that your Highness's wet nurse has passed away. What a pity."

Soetu was puzzled as to why everyone had to mention that servant. She was just a nanny. If she died, they could just find another one. There was no need to mention her over and over again.

"Your Majesty should know the reason why I came here. What do you think of my opinion?"

As expected, she came. She wanted to say directly that she didn't want to, after all, she was on the prince's side.

But the fact that she is living such a good life in the palace now is inseparable from Hesheli.

If he expressed his thoughts directly, he would probably not be able to get the protection of Hesheli in the future.

So it’s better to practice Tai Chi with Soetu first.

"Uncle, this matter cannot be accomplished just by your discussion. You may not know that I have long fallen out of favor.

Before Concubine Cheng was favored by the emperor, it was fine. The emperor would come to Chuxiu Palace several times every month. But now it is different. The emperor has not been to Chuxiu Palace for nearly two years.

I may say I am the head of Chuxiu Palace, but in reality, I am not even as good as some of the favored noble ladies."

This is a metaphor used by Concubine Xi. As a concubine, she could not see Kangxi, so naturally, other people of lower status could not see him either.

But Soetu didn't know about this. Since he didn't know, of course whatever she said was the truth.

Could she be so foolish as to tell Suo Etu the truth? If that were the case, she wouldn't have had such thoughts just now.
