After calming down, Kangxi realized that Xingchi's words made sense. He had to have a serious talk with the Crown Prince to clear up the misunderstanding and not let a concubine like Consort Liang affect the relationship between father and son.
At the same time, Kangxi was also wondering if his other sons were also eyeing the position of crown prince. In order to ensure the crown prince's future stability, he wanted to eliminate all potential threats to the crown prince in advance.
“Your Majesty, Juechan has been executed!” Liang Jiugong said, bowing his head before Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi paused for a moment before speaking, "Bury him!"
After all, she had been by his side for many years and had given birth to the Eighth Prince. He didn't want Consort Liang to suffer too much after her death.
"Will she be buried in the Imperial Concubine's Mausoleum?" Liang Jiugong asked cautiously.
"Bury him near the imperial mausoleum!" Kangxi said.
“Yes, this servant understands!” Liang Jiugong replied.
Upon hearing the news of Consort Liang's execution at Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince knew that this was likely another scheme orchestrated by Consort Liang.
He Xue was also quite surprised. How could Consort Liang have so many tricks up her sleeve? Wasn't she from the Imperial Laundry? Even if she had the connections left to her by the Uya clan, she shouldn't have caused so much trouble, right? The repeated attempts to harm the Crown Prince were truly unbelievable.
Now that Consort Liang has been executed, nothing else should happen, right?
"Crown Prince, Father Emperor, how could you not allow Consort Liang to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum? After all, there's still the Eighth Prince!"
The reason why Lady Uya was not buried in the imperial mausoleum was because she had no children. All her children's genealogies were changed. Did Emperor Kangxi also intend to change the genealogy of the Eighth Prince? If not, Emperor Kangxi really showed no respect for the Eighth Prince.
"I'm afraid the Eighth Prince won't let this go!" The Crown Prince felt that the Eighth Prince would definitely not agree to Kangxi's actions if he found out.
"Does he still dare to disobey the imperial decree?" He Xue asked.
"He will. Although he will have to go against his father's wishes, he will gain a reputation for being extremely pure and filial, and his prestige will be even higher!"
If he remains indifferent, he will likely be despised. He is adept at assessing situations and will certainly choose what is advantageous to him! The Crown Prince analyzed.
After listening to the Crown Prince's analysis, He Xue felt that it wasn't impossible, and she was looking forward to the Eighth Prince's next move.
At the Eighth Prince's residence, Tana was quite shocked to hear the news about Consort Liang. She was curious about what Consort Liang had done that would make Emperor Kangxi decide to kill her.
Previously, when Consort Liang plotted to harm the Crown Prince, Emperor Kangxi only imprisoned her in Yonghe Palace; he didn't even bother to demote her to the Cold Palace. It was only after the Empress Dowager issued an edict that Consort Liang was sent to the Cold Palace. It seems that this time, Consort Liang has truly crossed Emperor Kangxi's line!
Tana ordered the illegal clothing in the mansion to be replaced and everyone to change into plain clothes.
After explaining everything, Tana headed towards the Eighth Prince's study.
"Master, news just came from the palace that Mother has passed away!"
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince fell off the bed. "What did you say?"
"My mother has passed away!" Tana said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Impossible, everything was fine before, how could this happen?" The Eighth Prince muttered to himself, his eyes vacant.
"It's the Emperor's decree!" Tana came to the Eighth Prince's side and tried to help him up.
"Father's decree?" the Eighth Prince asked, incredulous. "Why?"
"No one in the palace said anything, and Mother can only be buried next to the imperial mausoleum!"
"Does Father Emperor really despise Mother so much?" The Eighth Prince gave a bitter smile.
"I want to go to the palace!" the Eighth Prince said, trying to get up, but the struggle aggravated the injury on his back, and his face turned pale.
"Your Highness, you must take care of your health. If Mother knew you were like this, she would definitely worry about you!" Tana tried her best to comfort the Eighth Prince.
"I cannot allow my mother to suffer such humiliation after her death!" the Eighth Prince said firmly. He was determined to have his mother buried in the imperial mausoleum.
