Kangxi looked at the Crown Prince, "Baocheng, go! You are the grandson, your grandfather will definitely not blame you! Isn't it said that grandparents love their grandchildren more?"
The Crown Prince felt as if Kangxi was scolding him when he heard his words. "Father, it is true that I am a grandson, but my grandfather has never even seen me. Where does this grandparental affection come from?"
Kangxi thought the Crown Prince's words made sense, and then looked at the Imperial Noble Consort.
The Imperial Noble Consort immediately said, "Cousin, I can't do it. I'm a daughter-in-law; it's not appropriate for me to break into my father-in-law's house!"
Moreover, the Imperial Noble Consort had no good feelings towards the man who was both her father-in-law and uncle! She was afraid that if she saw him, she would not be able to help but take action to seek justice for her deceased aunt.
Emperor Kangxi nodded, and the Imperial Noble Consort's reasoning was quite reasonable.
“Father, you should go by yourself!” the prince said.
"I can't go!" Kangxi shook his head and said directly, as he had always been afraid of his father.
He Xue was getting increasingly anxious watching the three people who had been discussing things for so long without reaching a conclusion. They were already at the door, so why were they backing down again?
At that moment, He Xue felt three gazes fall on her. When she looked up, she saw that Emperor Kangxi, the Imperial Noble Consort, and the Crown Prince were all smiling at her!
"He Xue, go ahead!" Kangxi said. "After you return, you can choose whatever you like from my private treasury!"
When Emperor Kangxi heard He Xue say, "Money makes things easier!", he also bribed He Xue with money.
"Uncle, I went there for your sake, not because I wanted your things!" He Xue felt it necessary to make her stance clear.
[Great! I heard that my uncle, the Emperor, has a lot of good stuff in his private treasury. Let's pick out a few for my brother, the Crown Prince, too!]
The Crown Prince smiled as he looked at He Xue. He Xue was indeed always thinking of him!
"Don't worry, of course I understand your intentions!" Kangxi said.
"Then I'm going!" Xue said and walked towards the door.
Kangxi looked at He Xue nervously.
“Master Xingchi, I am Hexue, and I would like to discuss some Taoist practices with you!” Hexue shouted loudly.
"This is a Buddhist temple!" a voice came from inside the house.
“Then let’s discuss Buddhism!” He Xue said.
He Xue waited for a moment, but didn't hear a word. "Master, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement. I'll go in then!"
After saying that, Xue pushed open the door and went inside. As she turned to close the door, she waved to Kangxi and the other two.
He Xue saw a man sitting by the window whose features resembled those of Emperor Kangxi; this man was Emperor Shunzhi.
He Xue looked at the person in front of her, who was just an ordinary old man. She didn't know what it was about him that attracted Consort Dong'e.
"He Xue greets Master Xing Chi!" He Xue bowed to Xing Chi and said.
"You're too kind, young lady! May I ask what you wish to discuss with this humble monk?" Xingchi asked.
After Xue went inside, Kangxi became restless, as it was too far away to hear what was being said inside.
The Crown Prince could tell what Kangxi was thinking just by looking at him.
“Father, I’ll go keep an eye on things. What if Xue angers Grandfather? Why don’t you come with me, Father? If Grandfather is angry, you can help persuade him!” the Crown Prince said.
"Nonsense! How could you eavesdrop?" Kangxi said sternly.
The Crown Prince looked at Kangxi, but he hadn't said he was going to eavesdrop!
The Imperial Noble Consort, who was not one to put on airs, simply found a good spot to eavesdrop.
"I'll go protect your mother, Tong!" Kangxi said, and walked over as well.
Upon seeing this, the crown prince immediately gave chase.
