He Xue knew that Kangxi would soon find out about her outburst at the Tongjia residence today, and how would the Crown Prince explain it then?
If he told the truth, would Kangxi have thought that the Crown Prince had received the information earlier than him, and that the Crown Prince posed a threat to him?
If I don't tell the truth, it seems there's no suitable excuse to cover it up, and if Emperor Kangxi finds out, it will probably cause even more trouble.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it!" the Crown Prince said. He had already told Kangxi that he hadn't received any news yet. Now that it was common knowledge that he and Xue had gone to the Tongjia residence, he couldn't very well say that he and Xue had stopped at the Tongjia residence on their way back.
Even if one were to go to the Tongjia residence, one should go to the Tong Guowei residence, not the Tong Guogang residence. Moreover, the fact that the imperial physician was summoned at the Tong Guogang residence makes it easy to suspect that it is related to Fahai.
The Crown Prince didn't care how Kangxi treated him, but he didn't want to involve He Xue. As long as Kangxi's love for He Xue remained unchanged, He Xue would have an extra layer of protection no matter what happened in the future.
"Brother Crown Prince, have I caused you trouble?" He Xuejian asked the Crown Prince with a very guilty look on her face.
"No, how could that be! You went to the Tongjia residence for my sake, how could it be considered causing me trouble!"
"Didn't you say that I'm your man and no one can bully me? Similarly, you're my woman, and no matter what trouble you get into, I'll solve it for you, and I'll do it willingly!" the prince said with a smile.
He Xue was deeply moved by the Crown Prince's words. She gently leaned against him, feeling his warmth.
"But, Crown Prince, what should we do if Father Emperor asks us about it?" He Xue was still a little worried.
The Crown Prince hugged He Xue tightly and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I have a plan. I will explain everything to Father Emperor."
He Xue raised her head, looked into the Crown Prince's determined eyes, and nodded.
"Trust me, everything will be alright," the prince said softly.
“I believe in my brother, the Crown Prince!” He Xue said.
"Now, let's talk about your return to the capital!" the Crown Prince said with a half-smile.
"Brother Crown Prince, I was wrong, I won't do it again!" He Xue admitted her mistake without hesitation.
"Hmm, that's a good attitude in admitting your mistake!"
[Admitting mistakes is just a way to make better mistakes! Actively admitting mistakes, but resolutely refusing to change!] Xue thought to herself.
The Crown Prince was amused by He Xue's words, "You're so eager to admit your mistakes, do you have no intention of changing them at all?"
"No way! How could you look at me like that, Crown Prince!" He Xue said, her eyes darting around. [How could you possibly know what I'm thinking?]
"He Xue, the reason I asked you to wait for me is because I was worried about you coming back alone. I didn't want you to encounter any danger, and these dangers were avoidable!"
"Brother Crown Prince, I know I was wrong. I will definitely listen to you from now on!" He Xue said firmly.
"You used to listen to everything I said!" The Crown Prince was somewhat skeptical of Xue's promise!
"I swear!" He Xue said, holding up three fingers.
"Alright, of course I believe you!" the Crown Prince said indulgently.
He Xue wrapped her arms around the prince's neck, "Brother Prince, I'm prepared to be punished by you today!"
"How do you want me to punish you?" The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with burning eyes.
"Of course I'll let my brother Crown Prince punish me!" He Xue kissed the Crown Prince's lips and then said smugly, "But I'm afraid that won't work now, because I have a shield!" She pointed to her stomach as she spoke.
Seeing He Xue's smug expression, the Crown Prince kissed her directly, leaving her breathless. After releasing her, his eyes showed lingering desire, and he pressed his forehead against hers, saying, "You really got me figured out! But we can settle things later; we have a long life ahead of us!"
[Maybe my brother will forget about it in ten months!] He Xue thought smugly.
"Don't worry, I won't forget. I've prepared a notebook specifically for this purpose. Whenever you make a mistake, I'll write it down. We'll settle the score after you give birth!" The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow at He Xue and said.
"Brother Crown Prince, isn't it unnecessary to go through all this trouble?" He Xue pleaded, trying to stop the Crown Prince.
"It's alright, I don't mind the trouble!" the crown prince said.
He Xue looked at the Crown Prince with a bitter face, which made the Crown Prince burst into laughter.
