Kangxi's heart sank. He hadn't expected that all his sons, including the Imperial Noble Consort he trusted, had lied to him and kept it from him. Such a momentous matter hadn't been mentioned to him by anyone, let alone discussed with him.
"Such a big matter, and none of you told me about it. If you had, would I not have supported my own son?"
Wanwan's eyes still held a hint of aloofness and mockery as she chuckled, "That's hard to say. After all, judging from Your Majesty's behavior these past few years, you might not actually support it."
“Xiao Liu has courage, I, his mother, have money, and his brothers are all outstanding individuals. With so many people helping him, it doesn’t matter whether the emperor comes to help or not.”
"Have you thought about what would happen if he encountered danger? What if something happened to him?"
Wanwan never expected that Kangxi would care about his son. At this time, weren't all his sons being suppressed? "Of course I thought about it. I gave him a lot of good things, all for his survival. He won't die."
Even if he gets into trouble in the end, I, his mother, will be there to protect him. With so many brothers, he'll eventually be alright.
Moreover, over the years, Xiao Liu has sent back two letters every year to let me know he is safe and sound.
Emperor Kangxi was furious at that time. Such a big thing, his son became emperor and conquered a country, and he only found out when the official letter was finally delivered to him, and even then, he had to guess.
If he hadn't suspected it at the time, would he have only realized it when his son stood right in front of him? Or even worse, after ten years, he might not even recognize his son.
"Good, good, you're all great."
Looking at Kangxi's expression, Wanwan added insult to injury, "Your Majesty, I have always felt that I have done a good job. Whether as a concubine in the past or as an Imperial Noble Consort now, I feel that I have never made a mistake or wronged Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, why be angry? Besides, Xiao Liu is doing well, which makes you, as the Emperor's father, proud, isn't it?"
Kangxi tried his best to remain calm. "Alright, I'll ask you one last question. None of you told me back then, was it because you weren't afraid of success... or were you all wary of me?"
In fact, Kangxi already had a clue, especially considering his state of mind in recent years, the latter possibility is more likely.
Kangxi clasped his hands tightly and said, "You're still afraid that I'll interfere in Xiao Liu's affairs, and in the end, because of me, your imperial father, you'll be dissatisfied."
After hearing what Kangxi said, Wanwan thought to herself: As expected of Kangxi, he thought of so much in such a short time.
The most important thing is to guard against this matter. If Kangxi really interferes, then the sixth emperor will be in trouble with Kangxi.
The relationship between the two sides was no longer one of equality. Not only was it a father-son relationship, with the concept of filial piety weighing on them, but more importantly, it involved Kangxi's intervention. It is likely that the country they established would be more or less hampered by Kangxi.
It seems they'll have to spend a lot of energy and time fighting again. And since it's father and son, things will probably get even worse.
However, Wanwan would never admit to this. "I don't know either. It's just that Xiao Liu said he wants to go out and try his luck. If he succeeds, he'll return home in glory. If he fails, he'll be a carefree prince."
