"Brother Crown Prince, what happened?" He Xue walked over and saw that the Crown Prince looked thoughtful.
"Come and take a look!" The Crown Prince handed the paper in his hand to He Xue.
He Xue quickly glanced through it. "Brother Crown Prince, is the information here reliable?"
"There's no mistake!" the crown prince said confidently.
"Brother Crown Prince, what do you plan to do about this?" He Xue asked the Crown Prince.
He Xue had suspected everyone except the Tong Jia clan, but she never expected them to give her such a big surprise.
"Father should have received the news as well. Don't worry, the Tongjia clan will be fine!" The Crown Prince comforted He Xue, but he only said that the Tongjia clan would be fine, without guaranteeing that Fahai would be alright.
"Crown Prince, I'm sorry about this..." He Xue didn't know what to say for a moment, and she lowered her head in guilt.
The crown prince smiled nonchalantly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't take the blame on yourself, and I will handle it!"
“Yes!” He Xue nodded in response.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi also sent someone to the place, ordering the Crown Prince to return to the palace immediately.
"He Xue, I'll go back to the palace first, and I'll come to pick you up later!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue.
"Brother Crown Prince, you can go back without worry. I'll wait for you to come and get me!" He Xue said.
The Crown Prince kissed Xue on the forehead, then hurriedly returned to the palace with the messenger.
When Emperor Kangxi first learned of this result, he was also very shocked, but he had even more doubts in his heart.
Now, the Tongjia clan not only has the Fourth Prince under its banner, but also, because of He Xue, the Crown Prince has a connection with the Tongjia clan. Is the Tongjia clan still not satisfied? Do they still want to support the Eighth Prince?
The Tongjia clan is casting a wide net, catching many fish, and selecting the best to succeed. They have chosen all the potential successors so that whoever succeeds can continue the glory of the Tongjia clan.
As for Aling'a, Kangxi thought that Niohuru probably felt that the Tenth Prince had no chance of succeeding to the throne, so she placed her hopes on the Eighth Prince. He wondered what the Tenth Prince would think if he knew about this.
At the same time, Kangxi was also very angry. His son was actually disliked by these officials, who made them pick and choose him as if they were picking cabbages at the market!
Only he could say his son was bad; no one else could.
The more Kangxi thought about it, the angrier he became. "Guards, bring the Crown Prince back to the palace immediately!"
Thus, the Crown Prince's leave was cut short again by a single order from Emperor Kangxi.
The crown prince hurriedly returned to the palace to pay his respects to Emperor Kangxi.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty," the Crown Prince said, bowing.
"Stand up and speak," Emperor Kangxi said sternly. "This concerns the poisoning of the Eighth Prince. I ordered Zhao Chang to investigate the matter. Take a look at the results!"
After reading it, the Crown Prince looked at Kangxi with a shocked expression. "Father, is there some misunderstanding? This matter needs further investigation!"
The Crown Prince acted as if he had just learned of the outcome; he couldn't possibly know the result before Emperor Kangxi.
After this incident, his feelings for Kangxi changed slightly, and the bond between ruler and subject surpassed the affection between father and son.
Emperor Kangxi sneered, "Misunderstanding? I wish it were."
He will not punish the Tongjia clan as long as they do not cross his bottom line.
The Crown Prince hesitated for a moment, "Father, I think this matter still needs to be investigated carefully. After all, the Tongjia clan involves Mother Tong and my fourth brother. If there is any misunderstanding, it may damage your relationship with Mother Tong."
Moreover, this might have been done solely by Fahai, with no one else knowing about it!
Emperor Kangxi frowned. "What you said isn't without merit. You shall handle this matter!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!" the Crown Prince replied.
Just as the Crown Prince came out of the Qianqing Palace and was about to go to pick up He Xue, he saw He Zhu rushing towards him. "Your Highness, the secret guards on the estate just sent word that the Crown Princess has returned, but she went to the Tongjia residence!"
"What?" The Crown Prince guessed why He Xue went to the Tongjia residence; she must have been there to verify whether this matter was related to the Tongjia clan.
"Prepare the horses immediately, I am going to the Tongjia residence!" the Crown Prince said.
Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei are two old foxes. Although they love He Xue, nothing else matters compared to the interests of the family. They cannot let He Xue be bullied.
