This wasn't a big deal. After all, birth, aging, sickness, and death were part of human nature, and he understood that. But it was a bit unlucky that it kept happening one after another.

He still remembered that the Crown Prince had come to him and mentioned the matter of changing the Crown Princess. At that time, Li had already given birth to Hongxi, and the Crown Prince made this request just to make Hongxi the eldest grandson.

Kangxi knew what he was planning. If Li had been of higher birth and could have provided him with assistance, he might have agreed to it.

After all, if Hongxi could become the eldest grandson, it would be of great help to the prince. However, these were all fantasies, and he would not allow any precedent of promotion to the throne to appear.

Concubine Li was already a concubine, and the status of a concubine was recorded in the royal imperial book. Therefore, Hongxi's origin was not low. Except for the fact that he had the word "commoner" in his name, he was no worse than others.

He really had high hopes for the Crown Princess, otherwise he would not have promoted her from Second Wife to Crown Princess not long after she married the Crown Prince.

I originally thought that even if she couldn't have children, she could still adopt a child and raise it under her own name to secure her position. I didn't expect that she would be like a fool and choose to attack them on the day when the quadruplets were one month old.

Not only that, she also held a grudge because the Queen Mother gave Mu Sili a set of headgear that only the Queen could wear.

Although he also felt that the Queen Mother's behavior was not good and a bit unfair to the Crown Princess, she did give the reward and Mu Sili accepted it, but the key point was that she had never worn it outside.

No matter how angry or resentful the Crown Princess was, she had to get to the bottom of it first, right? If everyone held such a grudge, he would probably not dare to reward the concubines and the ladies of the court in the future.

After all, when it comes to rewarding jewelry, he is the best and no one dares to be second. He often sends some rewards that are not in accordance with the rules to the homes of trusted ministers, but didn't they wear them when they came to the palace to pay their respects?

To put it bluntly, not only did they not wear it, they also respectfully enshrined it. After all, this was not only a reward from him, but also a sign of his appreciation for them, and everyone would treat it with caution.

"Looking for the reason in yourself? Fifth sister-in-law is really funny. As the Crown Princess, what's wrong with me? Whatever I do is right, there's no way I can be wrong. But you are different. How can you possess something beyond the limit?

If you dare to accept the headpiece that only the queen can wear today, you will dare to instigate your fifth brother to rebel against His Highness in the future. I do this to nip your ambition in the bud.

It's a pity that I had a good idea but my plan didn't succeed. I know that my behavior is a death warrant for myself, but so what? I did it anyway.

It's just death. Instead of living like a living dead in Yuqing Palace, it's better to drag a few people down with you. If I can take you and your son with me, I will make a profit.

Looking at my poor memory, Father Your Majesty, you probably don't know that, at Your Highness's request, Concubine Li is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. I really want to see whether Concubine Li's twins are what Your Highness expected.

Unfortunately, my daughter-in-law can't wait any longer. You value her, and she also wants to be a sensible and non-jealous princess consort. But human nature is like this. When grievances accumulate to a certain extent, they will rebel.

My daughter-in-law is a woman and a villain. She can't forget, so she chose this path. In the end, the Guarjia clan didn't stand on my daughter-in-law's side. I hope the emperor will blame them."

Kangxi frowned. Why did he feel like Guaerjia was desperate for death? Also, what did she mean by that? Could it be that Concubine Li wasn't carrying twins?

He became furious when he thought that the entire Yuqing Palace had conspired to lie to him. After glaring at the stunned prince beside him, he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Today is the quadruplets’ full moon banquet, so let’s not continue with the scandal in Yuqing Palace for now and wait until the full moon banquet is over.

The officials and ladies present had already fled far away as soon as the assassination attempt on the Crown Princess began. Everyone wanted to join in the fun, but not every event was one they could join.

If they approached Kangxi at this time, not only they but also their families would be implicated. Therefore, staying away was the best option to save their lives.

As for why they did not go to protect Kangxi, it was naturally because Kangxi was surrounded by people protecting him wherever he went, and he had no need for them at all.

"I just want to ask you, is what you just said true?"

As soon as Kangxi said this, the prince knew that something was wrong. He knew that Kangxi was suspicious of him. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Yinzhi.

This is the best time to laugh at him and bring him down. He has ideas about the position of crown prince, and the two of them often compete and fight with each other. How could he let him argue in front of Kangxi?

"What is the Second Brother doing? I think the Crown Princess knows something. Now that she has spoken out, why not let her speak to her heart's content? This will save the Emperor from having to send someone to investigate later."

The prince glared at Yinzhi fiercely. He was really his good brother, but he still stepped on him at this time. But he could only bear it now. If he explained without caring about it, it would probably confirm the fact that he condoned the news of Concubine Li getting pregnant with twins, which would spread throughout the harem.

Although this was true, how could he be so stupid as to involve himself in this? He was not a fool.

"Brother, what are you talking about? When did I ever say I would stop the Crown Princess from speaking? I was just shocked that she knew something I didn't.

From the very beginning, it was rumored that Concubine Li was pregnant with twins, and they were suspected to be a boy and a girl. After the imperial physician took her pulse many times and never denied it, I naturally believed it.

Now from what she said, it seemed that Concubine Li was lying, but Concubine Li was just a woman in the harem. Could she possibly bribe the imperial physician to lie for her?

It's not that I look down on her, but she really doesn't have the ability. The most important thing is not this, but that confusing the royal bloodline is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. I don't believe she doesn't know this."

"Really? I thought you knew, Second Brother. After all, the incident happened in Yuqing Palace. If you didn't know, it would be a miracle. It wouldn't make sense, right?

But since you don't know, then don't know. Why don't we listen to what the Crown Princess has to say before making a decision, don't you think?"

Now that things have come to this, the prince has nothing to say and can only curse the prince in his heart for meddling in other people's business.

"Big brother is right. Let's listen to what the Crown Princess has to say. I didn't even know there were so many things I didn't know about coming to Yuqing Palace.

When I think about how good I was to Concubine Li and how much I cared about her children, and she wanted to repay me in this way, I feel very uncomfortable.

Yinzhi almost laughed out loud after hearing the prince's words of shirking responsibility. Did he think they were all fools?
