The Crown Prince has already sent someone to inform the Fourth Prince, who will arrive soon, along with the First Prince, the Third Prince, and others.
"Why have you all come here?" Kangxi asked.
"Father, we didn't see you when we returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. We heard you came here, so we came to check on you!" said the eldest prince.
"Khan, why are you kneeling on the ground? What did you do wrong?" the Tenth Prince asked when he saw the Torgut Khan kneeling on the ground.
“This servant is in the wrong!” said the Torgut Khan.
At this time, Princess Jiu and Amuguleng were also brought in.
Upon seeing the two people enter, Kangxi's anger, which he had just suppressed, flared up again. "Which of you can tell me what's going on?"
"Father, your daughter has been framed! Please, Father, do justice for your daughter!" the Ninth Princess cried.
"It's He Xue! Father Emperor, you must do justice for your daughter!" the Ninth Princess said, pointing at He Xue.
"Me? Ninth Princess, are you mistaken? I'm not familiar with you at all. Why would I want to harm you?" He Xue asked in surprise.
"Because you didn't want to marry into Mongolia, you plotted against me, forcing me to marry into Mongolia in your place!" the Ninth Princess said aggrievedly.
"Marrying far away to Mongolia? When am I supposed to marry far away to Mongolia? How come I didn't know?" He Xue thought the Ninth Princess must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Kangxi glanced at the Ninth Princess. He had indeed jokingly said that he wanted Hexue to marry far away to Mongolia, just to get Suhetai to agree to Hexue marrying the Crown Prince.
Ever since he learned that He Xue was the only person the Crown Prince could get close to, he had practically worshipped her. How could he possibly let He Xue marry far away to Mongolia?
Moreover, if he were to marry He Xue off to Mongolia, he would only be creating trouble for himself. He wanted to weaken the power of the various Mongolian tribes, so how could he allow Suhetai to have contact with them?
He was certain that only he and Su Hetai knew this, and even Liang Jiugong didn't know it. So how did the Ninth Princess know it?
"Father, I don't want to marry into that godforsaken place called Mongolia. It's full of uncultured barbarians. I don't want to suffer there!" the Ninth Princess cried.
He Xue thought the Ninth Princess was really brainless, actually saying bad things about Mongolia in front of the Mongols. The Ninth Princess was bound to marry into Mongolia, and just based on that statement, He Xue could imagine that the Ninth Princess would definitely not have a good outcome in Mongolia.
"Insolence!" Emperor Kangxi scolded the Ninth Princess. "How dare a princess of the mighty Qing Dynasty utter such words! She has truly forgotten her ancestors!"
"Father, I know I was wrong!" The Ninth Princess regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth, but it was too late to take them back!
"Father, please do justice for your daughter!" The Ninth Princess could only continue to steer the issue toward He Xue.
"Since you say that Xue framed you, what evidence do you have?" Kangxi asked.
“Father, I saw He Xue go out! And I also saw her meeting with Amuguleng in private before. Maybe He Xue has been colluding with Amuguleng for a long time.”
“Ninth Princess, be careful what you say! He Xue dares not bear such a crime!” Su He Tai arrived at some unknown time.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!" Suhetai said, bowing before Emperor Kangxi.
"Why are you here too?" Kangxi asked, exasperated.
"This servant came to find He Xue, but I overheard the Ninth Princess's remarks, begging the Emperor to do justice for this servant. He Xue and Prince Amuguleng do not know each other at all."
"This servant has never had any contact with the Torgut tribe. I beg Your Majesty to see the truth!" He is a military general, yet he has connections with the Mongol tribe. Who wouldn't suspect him? This Ninth Princess has truly caused a great deal of harm.
"Father, every word I say is true, there is not a single lie!" The Ninth Princess knew that he had no evidence to prove that this matter was related to He Xue, so she could only stick to her story.
"You can't assume this matter is related to your older sister just because she went out!"
"If everyone were like you, there would surely be many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice in this world!" The Ninth Prince said to the Ninth Princess, thinking that she was so stupid and foolish that she was a disgrace to the name "Nine".
The Ninth Princess saw He Xue go in with her own eyes. There was a lot of sleeping potion in the room. How did He Xue get out? Suddenly, the Ninth Princess realized the key to the problem.
