"Give her death immediately!" Kangxi said without hesitation. He had been too indecisive before, which led to Consort Liang causing so much trouble.
If he hadn't considered all that and had dealt with Consort Liang directly, the Crown Prince wouldn't have fainted and his cousin wouldn't have almost been injured.
The Imperial Noble Consort felt that Kangxi's injury had not been in vain, and that he was finally willing to execute Consort Liang.
The Imperial Noble Consort stayed with Emperor Kangxi for a while longer before returning to Chengqian Palace.
Not long after the Imperial Noble Consort left, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Emperor Kangxi.
Kangxi knew that the Empress Dowager must have received news that he had summoned the imperial physician, so he did not dare to delay and went to Cining Palace immediately.
Upon arriving at Cining Palace, Xingchi was standing beside the Empress Dowager.
Upon seeing Kangxi enter, Xingchi immediately asked, "Xuanye, what happened in the palace? Why have both the Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace summoned imperial physicians? Your grandmother is extremely worried!"
Only after he finished speaking did he notice Kangxi's injured arm. "What happened to you? Did an assassin infiltrate the palace?"
The Empress Dowager also looked anxiously at Kangxi, "Xuan Ye, what's wrong with you?"
"Just a minor injury!" Kangxi said casually.
"What exactly happened?" After all, Kangxi was also his son, and Xingchi was extremely worried!
"Consort Liang wanted to harm the Imperial Noble Consort, and I was accidentally scratched by her while trying to save her!" Kangxi briefly recounted the incident.
"Consort Liang? Is she the one who plotted to harm the Crown Princess?" Xingchi asked.
"Yes!" Kangxi nodded.
"This is a scourge! A mere palace maid from the Imperial Laundry Department has made you lose your senses. You even spared her life when she plotted to harm the Crown Prince. I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion she gave you!" the Empress Dowager said with great distress.
“Exactly! Such a vicious woman, why keep her alive?” Xingchi never expected that Kangxi would be such an indecisive person.
"You are a monk, shouldn't monks be compassionate? Why do you speak with such murderous intent?" Kangxi asked, puzzled.
“Even monks must be able to distinguish right from wrong, and good from evil. Consort Liang is wicked. If we spare her life, she will probably never have peace in the future!” Xingchi put his hands together and said, “Amitabha, good, good.”
"Hmph! You have the nerve to say that? I think it's all because of you. Like father, like son. You know what you did for Dong E back then."
I think you've corrupted Xuan Ye! How dare you lecture him now!
You and your son are both being led by the nose by women! What a waste of all the lessons I've taught you!
"Your Majesty, you're taking your anger out on me!" Xingchi said, displeased. [How did the conversation turn to him?]
Kangxi awkwardly touched his nose. He was only interested in Consort Liang because of her face, but he would not do anything crazy because of her, and he would never do anything as shocking as his father.
He spared Consort Liang's life entirely because of the Eighth Prince; he didn't want the Eighth Prince to have a mother who had been executed.
"Xuan Ye, hesitation will only lead to more trouble! Consort Liang, you must be ruthless in dealing with her!" The Empress Dowager sighed and said.
"Grandmother, I know that I have already issued an edict to execute Consort Liang!" Kangxi said.
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, the Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction. She knew that her grandson, whom she had raised herself, would not be as obsessed with romantic love as his father.
