"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. The Crown Prince did go too far, but didn't you notice that Concubine He and Hesheli didn't take any action.

In my opinion, they have probably tacitly agreed to this matter. You have bestowed honors on Hesheli and Hepin for the sake of Empress Yuan, but they don't seem to appreciate it.

It's not that I'm slandering them intentionally, but if you think about it carefully, the Crown Prince is more important to them. Hepin won't be favored anyway, so it doesn't matter whether she has children or not."

Kangxi was speechless. It was true, but didn't he have any dignity? The prince's action was simply a challenge to his authority.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and the angrier I got, the more I wanted to vent, so...

Mu Sili was speechless when she saw Kangxi with a satisfied look on his face. Didn't he usually attach great importance to rules? What happened today? Was he the first to break the rules?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that I'm wrong? If so, I'm going to be heartbroken."

"Your Majesty, please return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to handle state affairs. I am worried that rumors will spread that I seduced you, instigated by those with ulterior motives. If that happens, I will be unable to explain myself."

Kangxi smiled embarrassedly. It was no wonder that after venting his anger just now, he felt much less depressed. Now he wanted to see what they were going to do.

"I understand. I'll come over to accompany you in the evening."

Inside Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince looked at Suo Etu with a gloomy face. What had he just said? Did he say he was wrong? And what about not bothering with him because he was the Crown Prince?

Is he senile? He is the prince. Isn’t he afraid that he will blame him if he speaks to him like this?

Even though he was not favored by Kangxi, as the crown prince, they had to respect and fear him.

Soetu's current behavior made him feel that he was reminding him that he could not do without the support of the Hesheli family, which made him want to kill them.

"Your Highness, there is no need to look at me like that. I am serious. Concubine He is your aunt after all. Even if she gave birth to a prince, you still have to be the priority, right?

Besides, if you look at the princes born to the Queen, you will know how important it is to have a brother to help you. Now that Concubine He can't have children, you have to rely on yourself in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty only goes to Kunning Palace, I would have sent another woman to serve in the palace, at least to ensure that your position is not threatened."

After hearing what Soetu said, the prince laughed. He really treated him as a fool. He dared to guarantee that if the concubine gave birth to a prince, he, the prince, would definitely lose the support of Hesheli.

How could a prince without the support of his mother's family possibly compete with the powerful Mu Sili and her son? Speaking of which, it seems Yinzhen is no longer close to him. What an ungrateful person! He treated him so well when he was a child!

"Uncle is right, but I don't believe my aunt will still be wholeheartedly helping me after she has a child, so it's better for her not to have one."

"Your Highness has it all. Now that things have come to this, I hope Your Highness will see the efforts of the Hesheli family and give them some honor when you ascend the throne."

"Uncle, rest assured. I will help my aunt gain favor. After all, I am still young and still need your help."

"Then I will go to the Concubine He's place. I will take my leave."

Soetu's so-called visit to Hepin was just to appease her. She was a married daughter, and since she became a concubine by relying on Hesheli's family background, she had to repay them.

Hepin knew this would be the result from the beginning, so she agreed without saying anything. However, after Soetu left, she sneered out loud.

"I am the head of a palace after all, yet my uncle still scolds me like before. The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, of course, but he made me lose the chance to be my mother, so he shouldn't be the Crown Prince anymore.

I would like to see how a prince who cannot have children can secure the throne. If I am not good, they can forget about it.

Go, give me back the medicine that the prince used on me before. I want him to know how serious the consequences of offending me are! "

At Hepin's insistence, the prince lost his fertility, and she smiled when facing Kangxi's expressionless accusations.

"Why does Your Majesty have such an expression? To be honest, I am doing this for you. If the Crown Prince is not a good person, can't you just let the Fourth Prince be the Crown Prince?

I am not a fool. I have been in the palace longer than the Empress. Although I was young before, I understand everything.

It is true that you love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but your true love is for the Queen and her son, which has been shown since the Fourth Prince was born.

"It turns out that Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi were truly foolish. They couldn't see the reality clearly, so they died tragically at your hands."

When Kangxi suddenly heard her mention Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi, his brows unconsciously frowned. Why did she mention them for no reason?

"It seems that the Emperor has forgotten about them both. Indeed, since you married the Queen, the harem has become a mere decoration. How can you see them?

Your Majesty, I envy you, but I also sympathize with you. You are now in constant favor with the Emperor, but who can guarantee that you will remain in favor for the rest of your life?

Although I am not favored, I do not regret anything I have done. Now I only regret that I did not fight for favor earlier, otherwise how could I end up like this?

As for the Crown Prince, it is true that he is my nephew, but from the moment he put me on the opposite side, it was impossible for me to really stand on his side.

Now that we've come to this, I wouldn't mind telling you a little more. Hesheli is very ambitious, and my uncle hopes she'll produce another queen. Do you think the Crown Princess can live to see the Crown Prince ascend the throne?"

After saying this, Hepin hit her head against the pillar and died. She knew that she would not have a good ending, but she was afraid that the prince would arrange for her to be cut into pieces.

The prince could torture and kill a palace servant just because she said a few words he didn't like, so naturally he would not let her go, as she was his aunt who had prevented him from becoming the new emperor.

Rather than dying at his hands, it would be better to commit suicide, at least leaving a whole body.

After Hepin died, Kangxi hated her, the crown prince hated her, and Hesheli hated her even more, so she was thrown into a mass grave.

The prince has lost his fertility and is extremely depressed. He has locked himself in Yuqing Palace for three days without eating or drinking.

"I am the crown prince, the first crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. If I do not ascend the throne, it would be against the will of heaven."

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days. Please have something to eat. You are still young. I have sent for a miracle doctor who will surely be able to cure you."

Yes, he is still young. As long as he is properly taken care of, he will be able to recover.

With this idea in mind, the prince stood up. He wanted Mu Sili to watch him carefully as he sat in that position.

In his heart, it was Mu Sili's fault that he had such a problem. If she hadn't given birth to so many sons, he wouldn't have felt threatened at all.
