On the way to Cining Palace, Liang Jiugong said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not in good health right now. Shouldn't we not tell her about this?"
"The Empress Dowager has experienced everything; this matter is nothing to her." In Kangxi's eyes, although the Empress Dowager's health was not as good as before, she was not someone who could be easily defeated.
“Your Majesty is right. I was short-sighted!” Liang Jiugong said with a smile.
Kangxi remained silent and continued walking towards the Cining Palace.
Upon arriving at Cining Palace, Kangxi told the Empress Dowager about the matter.
"I thought Dolan was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so short-sighted. Luckily, I discovered it in time, otherwise I would have become a sinner of the Qing Dynasty!"
As for how to deal with Dolan, the Emperor can decide! The Empress Dowager sighed and said.
"Yes, grandson understands!" Kangxi replied.
"Consort Liang, what does the Emperor intend to do?" the Empress Dowager asked.
"Although Consort Liang plotted against the imperial heir, she is, after all, Yinzhi's birth mother, and she has been by my side for many years. I have already demoted her to the rank of Lady and confined her to Yonghe Palace!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly. "Emperor, it's understandable that you're considering Yinzhi's future, but you can't neglect Baocheng!"
Would Bao Cheng let Consort Liang off so easily? Consort Liang is after his wife and children!
You know Baocheng's situation, and the child in Xue's womb is of great importance to him!
The Empress Dowager understood the difficulties Kangxi faced in handling this matter, but compared to the Eighth Prince, she still favored the Crown Prince.
"Grandson understands, Grandmother, rest assured, grandson will handle this matter well!" Kangxi said.
The Empress Dowager nodded, her eyes flickered, and she asked thoughtfully, "So, was Yinzhi involved in this matter? And what are your plans regarding Yinzhi?"
After a moment's thought, Kangxi replied, "Although Yinzhi is the son of Consort Liang, he is not involved in this matter. I will continue to observe his character before making a decision."
The Empress Dowager looked pleased and said earnestly, "In the palace, kinship and power are often intertwined and must be handled with care."
"Thank you for your guidance, Grand Empress Dowager!" Kangxi said, rising to his feet.
Emperor Kangxi stayed with the Empress Dowager for a while longer before leaving Cining Palace.
"Su Mo'er, go to Yuqing Palace yourself and tell He Xue that she has been wronged this time! Tell her to rest assured that I will definitely not let her suffer in vain!" the Empress Dowager said to Su Mo'er.
"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Su Mama replied.
The Empress Dowager also realized that Kangxi did not want to punish Consort Liang, but the Crown Prince could not be wronged in vain. Since Kangxi would not take action against Consort Liang, then she would deal with Consort Liang herself!
Su Mo'er arrived at Yuqing Palace and conveyed the Empress Dowager's words to the Crown Prince and He Xue.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince and He Xue kowtowed three times in the direction of Cining Palace to express their gratitude to the Empress Dowager.
As Granny Su was leaving Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince called out to her, "Granny, I have something to ask you to convey to the Ancestor!"
"Your Highness, please speak freely, and I will certainly convey your message!"
“Granny, it seems that Yuqing Palace is not very safe now. For the sake of Hexue and the child in her womb, I would like to ask Hexue to leave the palace and stay at the General’s Mansion for a while. I hope that the Ancestor can grant my request!” the Crown Prince said.
After hearing this, Granny Su was somewhat troubled. She had never heard of any prince's wife returning to her parents' home, let alone the crown princess! If this precedent were set, would there be questions later about whether or not to agree to it?
“Your Highness, this servant will inform the Empress Dowager!” said Granny Su.
"Thank you for your trouble, Granny Su!" The Crown Prince thought the Empress Dowager would agree.
