Throughout his life, the only person Emperor Kangxi truly cared about was the Crown Prince.
After exchanging pleasantries, the father and son, Yinreng, turned to Yinzhen with a look of great anticipation: "Fourth brother, just tell the truth in front of Father Emperor, don't be afraid."
“Father, Crown Prince, you know my temperament. To be honest, I am incompetent in this matter. After three days of investigation, I have only found a few scattered clues that point to… the Crown Princess of Yuqing Palace.”
"Back then, even you, the second brother of the Crown Prince, had just been born, let alone the Crown Princess. It's clearly a false lead."

For the sake of his sons, and considering it was an old case without solid evidence, he thought that his father would take his time and punish them appropriately at the right time. It was hard to imagine that he would do anything about it.
The crown prince also knew that this was an unsolved mystery, and that he was just trying to gain sympathy.
It's quite interesting that the Tian family father and son have achieved what they have.
