After all, they are all currently high-ranking concubines. Not only that, they also have children. If the queen did not reveal the information, how could he know what they did before?

Now that the Queen has completely exposed their true colors, he will distance himself from them. How far they can go in the future depends on whether their sons can live up to their expectations.

If you work hard, you can make further progress. If you don't work hard, you may just stay where you are.

It was also his fault. If he had paid more attention to the issues in the harem from the beginning, the Empress Yuan would not have harmed the royal heir for the sake of the eldest son.

If this hadn't happened, not only would she not have died, Chenghu wouldn't have died, and the prince wouldn't have become an orphan. The prince? Yes, there was also a prince.

Kangxi was probably uncomfortable, because when Liang Jiugong came in, he directly ordered him to go to Yuqing Palace to read the decree to depose the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The prince has done nothing wrong. Why did you suddenly issue such an order?"

Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi in confusion. He just sent Mu Sili to the Cining Palace. What happened in such a short time?

Why was the queen kneeling on the ground, Concubine Tong looked like she wanted to eat someone, and Kangxi even said he wanted to depose the prince? Could it be that the prince did something?

But that shouldn't be the case. The prince is still a child. What can a child do? He must be overthinking it, or Kangxi must be crazy. Otherwise, how could he say such a thing?

This prince is his most beloved son, otherwise he would not have been made the prince after he was born. You must know that he is the first prince since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and not everyone can compare to him.

Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong impatiently. Why did this dog servant talk so much? Isn't it the most diligent thing for him to do something on a daily basis? He just did it. Why did he ask so many questions?

Liang Jiugong is not a fool. He knew that Kangxi was angry when he saw his attitude, but he did nothing. Why should he be angry?

Or was it that something terrific happened involving the Crown Prince without his knowledge, otherwise why would he say such things as to depose the Crown Prince for no reason?

If he really conveyed today's imperial decree to Yuqing Palace, he could guarantee that he would be beheaded before evening. Therefore, for his safety, he had better ask clearly before making any decision.

"Just do whatever I tell you to do. My words are useless or something. When will it be your turn to refute me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. How could I dare to have such disrespectful thoughts? Didn't you scare me by issuing such an order so suddenly? You know, I just sent Concubine Ding back to the Cining Palace. I really don't know what happened."

When Kangxi heard him mention Mu Sili, the anger on his face instantly dissipated a lot. Indeed, he was not there just now, so how could he know what happened?

But then again, he was the emperor, why should he listen to his explanation? Sometimes he was unreasonable, okay!

"I care about you so much, just do whatever I tell you to do. Don't ask. If you ask, it means I have lost confidence in the late queen."

Liang Jiugong understood that this matter was related to the late queen. Since it was related to the late queen, it was the prince's fault. Although he was just a servant, he could see that she was not as kind as she appeared to be.

It's true, but did Kangxi know that the late queen's death was related to those women? If so, how would he deal with them?

The crown prince was deposed because of the late queen. If they stayed in the harem, the people of the Hesheli family would probably think that Kangxi was unfair.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go quickly?"

"It's my fault. I'll go right away, but shouldn't you give me an imperial decree? Otherwise, no one will believe what I say without any evidence."

Kangxi nodded seriously. Indeed, without evidence, it would not work. Now that he had made the decision, he would definitely implement it.

Soon, an edict to depose the crown prince was written. Kangxi also instructed Liang Jiugong that if anyone asked about it, he should say that it was the Empress Yuan who caused it and not to blame others.

Liang Jiugong knew without a doubt that Kangxi was talking about people from the Hesheli clan. He respectfully took the imperial edict and left.

As soon as he left, Kangxi looked at the queen as if she were a dead person. The queen knew that her judgment was coming, so she didn't say anything, but just waited quietly for his order.

"The Queen is seriously ill and is recuperating in Kunning Palace. She is not allowed to leave unless necessary."

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

The queen was also taken away, and only Concubine Tong was left at the scene. She looked at Kangxi in confusion. She originally came to see the queen make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect to end up making a fool of herself.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say for herself. She was in poor health, and Kangxi would indeed not let her become the queen. But she would be willing to do so even for just one day, but she couldn't. She couldn't let him bear the reputation of being a wife-killer.

"Your Majesty, cousin, I don't think I should have entered the palace. If I hadn't entered the palace, there would be no one to compete with the Queen for supremacy, and she wouldn't have taken action against your child because of the issue of offspring.

It's my fault. I've worked with her for many years, but I didn't know she had such a vicious mind. It's because of you that you almost got the reputation of being a wife-killer. I'm guilty."

Kangxi was a little annoyed. He didn't really want to deal with Concubine Tong, but if the matter of those concubines with children plotting to murder the Empress Yuan was not dealt with, it would be another scandal when it was exposed. He had to deal with this matter first.

"Go back first. This isn't your fault, and I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong. I hope today's events won't get out. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Don't worry. I'm not a talkative person, and I wouldn't dare publicize the affairs of the Qing Palace. Concubine Ding just moved to the Cining Palace. I'm worried that she won't adapt, so I want to go see her. I'll take my leave."

Kangxi did not stop Concubine Tong. He was worried about Mu Sili being alone in the Cining Palace, but he believed that Empress Xiaozhuang would not make things difficult for her. If Concubine Tong wanted to go, she could go. With Empress Xiaozhuang watching over her, nothing would happen.

"Come here, call Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Noble Lady Nara... come to see me."

"yes."

Everyone who got the news thought that Kangxi was summoning them, so they all dressed up and went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. However, the reality was different from what they thought.

No one knew what happened in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. All they knew was that they were happy when they came, but when they left, they were all as listless as eggplants hit by frost.

Not only that, they also closed the palace gates after returning. If they didn't say anything, people would probably think they were being punished by being confined to their own palace.

It's just that this matter cannot be asked and no one dares to ask, otherwise someone would definitely go up and ask what happened.
