"Didn't they say that the Imperial Physician was summoned from Yuqing Palace? How come the Crown Prince is perfectly fine?" A woman in the room asked the person next to her in a fit of anger.
When she saw the Crown Prince, she almost gave herself away, but luckily she managed to adjust herself in time.
“My lord, the poison of ebony seeds cannot be detected quickly; it slowly damages the body,” the palace maid said.
"The Crown Prince already knows that someone poisoned him, so he will probably be more careful in the future!"
Xiao Linzi should have been dealt with by the Crown Prince by now, and we can't find out anything from him anymore!
Why did the Crown Prince summon the imperial physician? What exactly happened at Yuqing Palace? The woman was truly baffled.
"My lady, why don't we let the young master go and find out? After all, the Crown Prince has summoned the imperial physician, so the young master should also go and check on things!" the palace maid suggested tentatively.
"Okay, go tell him, but make sure he's careful!" the woman said, still somewhat worried.
"Yes, this servant understands!"
"Also, keep an eye on the Imperial Noble Consort's situation and see how the Emperor will deal with her!" the woman said with some anticipation.
"Yes!" the palace maid replied.
After the palace maid left, the woman stroked the nail guards on her hands and said with a sinister expression, "Tongjia Qingyao, I want to see what kind of ending you will have!"
She knew how much the Empress Dowager valued the Crown Prince, and she also understood the Empress Dowager's wariness of the Imperial Noble Consort, which is why she had Ruguo direct her criticism at the Imperial Noble Consort.
By targeting the Crown Prince, she has offended the Empress Dowager, and it seems that even the Imperial Noble Consort herself will be in danger this time.
When Kangxi came out from the Empress Dowager's residence, he saw that the four crown princes were still waiting at the door.
"Yinzhen, don't worry, your father will take good care of your mother and won't let her suffer any injustice!"
"Your subject thanks Your Majesty!" The Fourth Prince felt that even without Kangxi's orders, no one would dare to mistreat the Imperial Noble Consort.
Why did Emperor Kangxi pretend to be a good person at this time, and why didn't he speak up when the Empress Dowager wanted to punish the Imperial Noble Consort?
"Crown Prince, please stay. I have something to say. The three of you, go about your business!" Kangxi said.
"Father, is this all there is to this? Mother Tong has been wronged like this!" the eldest prince questioned.
"I know how to handle this, so you don't need to worry about it!" Kangxi said impatiently.
"Instead of worrying about these things, you should be thinking about how to give me a few grandchildren! You've been married for so many years and have only given me two granddaughters."
"For this imperial concubine selection, I will have Consort Hui choose a few more fertile women for you!"
"Father, I've at least given you two granddaughters! Look, your second son and his siblings aren't even married yet!"
Besides, with so many sons, the task of continuing the family line can't rely entirely on me!
"And please don't add any more people to my household. There are already enough people in my household. You can keep them for yourself!" The eldest prince felt that Kangxi wanted to ruin their relationship.
"You brought me back just to anger me!" Kangxi was angered by the eldest prince again.
"Your subject knows his mistake!" the eldest prince said, bowing his head.
Emperor Kangxi had prepared a whole speech, but the eldest prince's words of admitting his mistake left him speechless. "Has this rebellious son changed his ways today? Doesn't he always have to argue with me?"
Seeing Kangxi's frustrated expression, the eldest prince felt extremely pleased. "As expected, the princess was right. As long as he admits his mistake, Father Emperor will have nothing to say, and he won't be branded as unfilial."
Later, I'll discuss with the Princess Consort how to make Father Emperor feel frustrated and speechless. Maybe we can even give birth to a legitimate son while we're at it! It would be perfect!
Kangxi was caught between a rock and a hard place; he couldn't afford to lose his temper now, since the eldest prince had already admitted his mistake, and it would be unreasonable for him to get angry again.
Kangxi spotted Liang Jiugong smirking and immediately vented his anger on him. "Hurry up and lead the way! What are you dawdling about?"
Liang Jiugong was speechless. The emperor and his son were arguing, but he, the chief steward, was the one who suffered!
Liang Jiugong could only smile and say to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, please!"
Kangxi felt much better after venting his frustration, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace with the Crown Prince.
