After the Emperor returned, Yinzhen also returned. Things were back on track in Mongolia, but he was imprisoned upon his return.
In early November, Emperor Kangxi, despite his illness, ordered the removal of the Crown Prince. By the time Yinzhen was released, it was already late November.
Looking at the gaunt face of the man before her, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache after spending so much time together. "They're all your own sons, how could Your Majesty be so heartless! I've had a bowl of noodle soup cooked. Eat it quickly and warm yourself up."
Although Yinzhen was thin, he was still in good spirits and could even smile at Le Shu.
