After the Crown Prince left the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi went directly to the Chengqian Palace.
The Imperial Noble Consort was quite surprised to see Emperor Kangxi arrive at this time. Wasn't this usually the busiest time for him? Why was he at Chengqian Palace today?
"Greetings, cousin!" The Imperial Noble Consort gave Emperor Kangxi a simple bow.
"Get up quickly!" Emperor Kangxi personally helped the Imperial Noble Consort up.
After Emperor Kangxi took his seat, the Imperial Noble Consort instructed Honeysuckle to serve tea.
"Cousin, please sit down too!" Kangxi said to the Imperial Noble Consort.
"Thank you, cousin!" The Imperial Noble Consort took the tea from Ren Dong and placed it in front of Kangxi.
The Imperial Noble Consort called out to Ren Dong, who was about to leave, "Ren Dong, send someone to look for He Xue in the Imperial Garden. That girl must be having too much fun again; she hasn't come back yet!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will go right away!" Ren Dong replied.
Upon hearing the Imperial Noble Consort's words, a slightly unnatural expression flashed across Kangxi's face.
"Cousin, is there something you need to do at Chengqian Palace at this time?" the Imperial Noble Consort asked.
"Cousin, how are you feeling today?"
"I feel much better now!" the Imperial Noble Consort said with a smile.
"Did my cousin take her medicine today?"
"I've had my drink, cousin. Just say what you need to say!" The Imperial Noble Consort knew that Kangxi definitely had something to say.
"Cousin!" Kangxi hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak directly, "Just now, Baocheng went to the Qianqing Palace to tell me that Hexue was injured in the Imperial Garden!"
"Injured? How could you be injured? How serious is it?" Upon hearing this, the Imperial Noble Consort stood up from her seat.
"Baocheng said he was stabbed by the concubine in the Cold Palace!"
"Where is He Xue now?" The Imperial Noble Consort couldn't care less about why the Dowager Consort in the Cold Palace had stabbed He Xue. She had to see He Xue now, or she wouldn't be able to rest easy.
"At the prince's residence!"
"Cousin, I am going to the Prince's residence. Please do as you please!" the Imperial Noble Consort said to Kangxi.
"I'll go with you!"
"Alright!" Consort Tongjia said and immediately walked outside.
The crown prince arrived at a secluded place, and Jing Shu was right behind him.
"I wonder what Your Highness wishes to say to this servant?"
"You cannot take He Xue out of the palace!" the Crown Prince said directly.
"Are you going to stay in the palace with Xue until you lose your life?" Jing Shu asked with a cold laugh.
"I..." The Crown Prince was speechless for a moment.
"Your Highness is speechless?" Jing Shu said expressionlessly. "Wasn't Your Highness quite eloquent before? Your Highness promised to protect He Xue."
Is this what the Crown Prince calls protection? Just to barely keep He Xue alive?
"This was my oversight, and I can assure you that it will not happen again!" the Crown Prince said remorsefully.
"Your Highness, He Xue cannot afford your negligence. A few instances of negligence on your part could cost He Xue her life!"
"If Your Highness truly cares for He Xue, then please allow this servant to take He Xue out of the palace!" After saying this, Jing Shu knelt before the Crown Prince.
"This servant was disrespectful to Your Highness the Crown Prince before, please forgive me!"
"Get up! I have never blamed you! The fact that you can get angry with me shows that you don't see me as just the Crown Prince!" the Crown Prince said.
"From now on, this servant will treat His Highness the Crown Prince only as the Crown Prince!" Jing Shu said without any mercy.
"You..." The Crown Prince looked at Jing Shu and didn't know what to say for a moment. "Just now, Physician Liu said that He Xue should not be moved. Can't you not consider He Xue's feelings?"
Even if you want to take He Xue out of the palace, you have to wait until He Xue recovers!
"Your Highness need not trouble yourself with this matter. He Xue is my sister, and I cannot possibly disregard her health!"
"This servant must go back and wait for He Xue to wake up, so I will not keep the Crown Prince company any longer. This servant takes his leave!" Jing Shu bowed to the Crown Prince and then left.
The Crown Prince watched Jing Shu leave with a headache. This Jing Shu was truly impervious to reason!
Emperor Kangxi accompanied the Imperial Noble Consort to the Princes' Residence. The Imperial Noble Consort did not have a chance to pay her respects to the others. Upon seeing that Consort Rong was also there, she immediately went to Consort Rong.
"Sister Rongfei, how is He Xue?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, the imperial physicians have already examined He Xue. He Xue is fine for now, but she may have a fever tonight because she was frightened!" Consort Rong said.
"The General's wife has already arrived and is inside with He Xue!"
"Alright, thank you, Consort Rong! I'll go in and see He Xue!" After saying that, the Imperial Noble Consort walked towards the room where He Xue was.
