The Crown Prince walked out of the Qianqing Palace in a dejected manner, and almost fell down. He Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to support the Crown Prince.
He had never seen the Crown Prince like this before. The Crown Prince had always been spirited and exuded a nobility and confidence that the other princes lacked.
But now the crown prince's eyes are empty, like a walking corpse.
He Zhu felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. He didn't know what the Crown Prince and Kangxi had talked about, or why the Crown Prince had come out in such a state.
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself!" He Zhu couldn't help but advise.
The crown prince gave a bitter smile: "Take care? What do I have to take care of now..."
"Your Highness, you still have the Crown Princess! She's waiting for you to come back!" He Zhu said anxiously.
"Yes, He Xue is still waiting for me! I need to go back to Yuqing Palace!" After saying that, the Crown Prince hurriedly walked towards Yuqing Palace. He was eager to see He Xue.
Looking at the Crown Prince's staggering figure, Kangxi felt a pang of heartache. "Liang Jiugong, should I not have doubted the Crown Prince? Was I wrong?"
Although Liang Jiugong did not agree with Kangxi, he could not say that Kangxi was wrong. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince will understand your good intentions in the future!"
"Alas!" Emperor Kangxi sighed heavily.
Since returning to Yuqing Palace, He Xue has been restless. "Qingdai, go and find out if the Crown Prince is still in Qianqing Palace?"
"Your Highness, please don't worry, I'll go right away! You're pregnant!" Qingdai said anxiously.
"I know, you should go quickly!" He Xue urged.
Qingdai instructed Xia Bing to take good care of He Xue before leaving.
Qingdai hadn't gone far when she saw the Crown Prince return.
Upon seeing this, Qingdai immediately went to tell Hexue, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has returned!"
Upon hearing this, He Xue hurriedly ran out, which terrified Qing Dai and Xia Bing, who quickly chased after her.
When He Xue saw the Crown Prince's appearance, she was startled. "Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong?"
The Crown Prince embraced He Xue, his voice choked with emotion, "He Xue, Father doesn't believe me! He suspects I ordered someone to harm the Eighth Prince!..."
He Xue was stunned by the Crown Prince's words. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way; Kangxi was beginning to suspect the Crown Prince. Was history repeating itself?
He Xue gently patted the Crown Prince's back, comforting him, "Brother Crown Prince, it's alright. If Father doesn't believe us, so be it. As long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough!"
The Crown Prince raised his head, looking at He Xue with eyes filled with remorse. "He Xue, I'm afraid I'll implicate you..."
“Brother Crown Prince, we are husband and wife, so naturally we should share happiness and hardship together. Birds will fly away when disaster strikes!” He Xue said firmly.
"It's so good to have you here!" The Crown Prince forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
The crown prince suddenly felt everything go black and fainted.
The prince's weight was entirely on He Xue, making it difficult for her to stand.
Qingdai and Xiabing were so frightened that they immediately stepped forward to support Hexue, and Hezhu also supported the Crown Prince.
"Quickly, find the imperial physician!" He Xue shouted, pushing Qingdai and Xia Bing aside.
"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Qingdai practically flew out of Yuqing Palace.
He Xue then instructed He Zhu to escort the Crown Prince back to his room.
He Xue held the Crown Prince's hand the whole time, staying by his side.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and, after examining the prince, informed him that he had only suffered a sudden attack of anger and was otherwise unharmed.
With Crown Prince Xuejian safe and sound, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
