Hearing He Xue's suppressed shouts, the Crown Prince really couldn't sit still any longer. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Kangxi was there, the Crown Prince would have really wanted to go in and see how He Xue was doing.
The Crown Prince knew that He Xue was probably afraid of worrying everyone, so she endured the pain and dared not cry out, but it really hurt, so she could only suppress her voice.
If He Xue knew what the Crown Prince was thinking, she could only say that he was overthinking things. She didn't want to shout and yell, as it would damage her image!
Upon seeing the Crown Prince suddenly stand up, both Emperor Kangxi and the Fourth Prince looked at him simultaneously.
"Second Brother, let's wait a little longer! It should be fine soon!" Fourth Prince also stood up, because it was because of him and Xue that they were injured.
Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, the Crown Prince did not calm down; instead, he became even more agitated. Why wasn't he better yet? Did administering the medicinal wine really take this long?
Seeing the Crown Prince pacing back and forth, Kangxi said irritably, "Baocheng, sit down. You're making my eyes blurry!"
Kangxi was also quite annoyed. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Hexue, and on the other hand, he was worried that Consort Tongjia might take her anger out on him. He knew how much Consort Tongjia loved Hexue. He had hurt Hexue so badly, would his cousin forgive him?
Kangxi glared at the Fourth Prince. It was all because of this unfilial son; otherwise, how could he have hurt Hexue!
He had already decided that if his cousin took her anger out on him, he would punish the Fourth Prince and see if his cousin would dare to take her anger out on him again.
At the same time, Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong, "Liang Jiugong, open my private treasury and send some tonics and trinkets to Chengqian Palace!"
"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Liang Jiugong replied.
The Fourth Prince ignored Kangxi's glare, thinking that it wouldn't hurt him anyway.
At this moment, Consort Tongjia came out, her eyes red.
"Mother Tong, how is Xue?" The Crown Prince immediately rushed to Consort Tongjia.
"It's nothing serious!" Consort Tongjia wiped her eyes.
"Mother Tong, may I go see He Xue?" the Crown Prince asked anxiously.
"He Xue is asleep, let's do it another day!" Consort Tongjia said. After applying the medicinal wine, He Xue was soaked in sweat and her face was pale from the pain. Even so, He Xue was still comforting her. How could one not feel sorry for He Xue in this state?
“Cousin, just tell me what He Xue needs, and I’ll have Liang Jiugong send it over immediately!” Kangxi felt he had to make his stance clear.
"On behalf of He Xue, I thank my cousin!" Consort Tongjia curtsied to Emperor Kangxi.
"You're too kind, cousin!" Kangxi still felt a little guilty looking at Consort Tongjia.
Consort Tongjia looked at Emperor Kangxi with teary eyes and said, "Cousin, you don't know that He Xue bit her lip so hard that it bled so much so that I wouldn't worry!"
Cousin, He Xue said she wants to leave the palace to find Qing Yao and Su He Tai. Why don't you arrange for someone to send her back?
If He Xue were here, she would definitely shout, "No, I didn't say that! Auntie, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"
Consort Tongjia said this on purpose. He Xue was completely innocent this time, and a few simple rewards would suffice. She was determined to make the Emperor bleed a lot this time.
The Tongjia clan is known for being extremely protective of their own.
"Nonsense! Cousin, Xue is still young, you can't let her act like this. How can she move when she's injured! We'll talk about everything after she recovers."
Su Hetai has been busy training his troops lately, and Qingyao has to take care of him. Please take care of Hexue, my cousin! Kangxi spoke with righteous indignation.
Emperor Kangxi did not want Su Hetai to know. If Su Hetai found out that he had accidentally injured Hexue, he might have the Yangxin Hall demolished.
Although he and Su Hetai were young ruler and subject, Su Hetai had always kept the distinction between ruler and subject very clear over the years. However, when it came to He Xue, Su Hetai would not care about the distinction between ruler and subject.
When Su Hetai first brought He Xue into the palace, he looked at him as if he wanted to devour him. For several days in a row, Su Hetai treated him with utter contempt and disdain.
He didn't want to go through that again; he wanted to see which unlucky guy would end up in-laws with Suhetai.
If the Crown Prince knew what Kangxi was thinking, he would definitely say, "Father, I hope you'll be the unlucky one!"
Thinking of this, Kangxi quickly sorted out his sons who were about the same age as He Xue.
So far, there are only three sons: Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Shi. Xiao Ba's mother has a low status, so the possibility is relatively small. It's mainly Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi who are more attached to her. It seems that in the future, these sons must be kept away from He Xue. He Xue can only be treated as a sister, not a daughter-in-law.
Emperor Kangxi never even considered the four crown princes who had grown up under Xue's watchful eye.
He felt that the four princes treated He Xue as a younger sister and had no other intentions.
The Crown Prince roared inwardly, "I don't want to treat He Xue as a sister! Isn't a wife better than a sister?!"
