Just as He Xue was about to push open the door to leave, she heard He Zhu say from outside, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has just gotten up. Perhaps this servant should go to his room to tidy up first, and you can come in later?"
He Zhu trembled as he said this, probably because he was the first person to dare to stop the Emperor!
"What are you packing up! What does the Crown Prince look like? I've never seen him!" Kangxi said nonchalantly.
He Zhu thought to himself, "You've definitely never seen the Crown Prince like this! The thing is, he's still with Princess Xue!"
He Zhu raised his voice, hoping that Xue and the Crown Prince could hear him.
Along the way, He Zhu had already imagined countless ways to die, and he didn't know how the Emperor would deal with him.
The Crown Prince was startled by He Zhu's words. "Why is Father Emperor here at this time? It's too late for He Xue to leave now!"
The prince glanced around the room and found there was nowhere to hide.
"Brother Crown Prince, Uncle Emperor is here!" He Xue whispered. "Will Uncle Emperor charge me with trespassing in the palace? Will it implicate my elder brother?"
He Xue didn't care how Kangxi dealt with her, as long as he didn't take his anger out on Jing Shu.
The Crown Prince was at a loss for words. Shouldn't Xue be trying to prevent the Emperor from seeing her? Why was she worried that the Emperor would punish her for trespassing in the palace?
"Don't worry, everything is fine with your brother, the Crown Prince!" the Crown Prince said. He would definitely not let his father punish He Xue; at worst, he would be punished with caning.
"Baocheng, how is your injury?" Kangxi asked as he entered.
"Greetings, Father Emperor! Please forgive me, Father Emperor, for I cannot bow to you!" the Crown Prince said.
"Don't worry about those formalities!" Kangxi looked at the Crown Prince with a pained expression. "These servants went too far!"
He Xue thought to herself, "Now you know how to feel sorry for someone? Why did you hit the Crown Prince in the first place? And you're shifting the blame onto someone else!"
The Crown Prince listened to He Xue's heartfelt words and knew that He Xue was standing up for him, but he was also worried that He Xue might say these words aloud and anger his father, the Emperor!
Kangxi then noticed that there was another person in the room. Although this person kept his head down, he looked like a handsome young servant.
How did this person end up in the Crown Prince's room?
Kangxi recalled what he had heard and realized that the reason why the Crown Prince had not married was because the Crown Prince was homosexual. Kangxi felt that everything had a reasonable explanation.
No wonder, no wonder the Crown Prince would feel nauseous and faint at the sight of a woman, it's because the Crown Prince simply doesn't like women!
Kangxi's anger had reached its peak. When did the Crown Prince pick up this bad habit?
Could it be Suo'etu? He remembered Xue telling him that Suo'etu and Mingzhu had an ambiguous relationship. Suo'etu not only lacked self-discipline, but also corrupted the Crown Prince. He was truly the number one sinner of the Qing Dynasty.
Soetu, I will never let you off the hook. You have corrupted Baocheng. How am I supposed to face the Empress after this?
Our ancestors of the Aisin Gioro family, Xuan Ye was unfilial and failed to properly educate the Crown Prince!
He Xue had no idea that in such a short time, Kangxi had come up with so much.
He Xue sensed Kangxi's anger; his cold eyes kept darting between her and the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince naturally saw Kangxi's anger. Did this matter make his father so angry?
"Crown Prince, aren't you going to explain?" Kangxi said coldly. He was now very glad that he had left everyone outside, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would have lost face.
Emperor Kangxi pondered how to cover up the matter, turning a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing!
"Father, it's all my fault! I beg you, Father, don't punish Hexue. I'm willing to bear any punishment myself!" The Crown Prince knelt on the bed, enduring the pain, and said to Emperor Kangxi.
Upon seeing this, He Xue also lowered her head and knelt down.
"What a fine son of mine! Even at this time, he is still pleading for that person!" Kangxi looked at the Crown Prince with disappointment in his eyes. The Crown Prince was truly devoted to He Xue.
He Xue? Kangxi's eyes widened. "Your Highness, who are you saying she is?"
The Crown Prince looked up at Emperor Kangxi, wondering why he asked such a question. "Father, she is He Xue!"
"Uncle Emperor!" He Xue also looked up at Kangxi.
Kangxi then took a closer look at the kneeling servant, and it really was He Xue. "Haha! Haha! It's He Xue!"
Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily. He knew that the Crown Prince was someone he had raised himself, so how could he have done such a thing! It was all Suo'etu's fault for misleading him!
Soetu is always the one who takes the blame!
However, just in case, the Crown Prince must be kept far away from Suo'etu, and the Crown Prince should be betrothed as soon as possible.
He Xue looked at Kangxi, who was sometimes furious and sometimes laughing heartily. What was going on?
The crown prince was completely baffled!
