Jiaming nodded, still looking serious, and said, "Yes, trust your intuition, trust your heart!" During the apocalypse, she relied on her intuition to avoid many disasters and also gained some things.
Hongxuan was unaware of these things. He thought that he had always had amazing perception and accurate intuition since childhood, and that these aspects had been enhanced after he connected with the Shangqing Scripture. So, he thought that there was nothing wrong with trusting his intuition.
In October, Emperor Kangxi and his entourage finally returned. Upon their return, both the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Prince were placed under house arrest. However, they were imprisoned in different places, and clearly, the severity of their confinement differed; the Thirteenth Prince's confinement was not as strict.
When he returned to the Prince's residence, the Fourth Prince thought that after some time, he would find an opportunity to plead with his father, the Emperor, to release his thirteenth brother.
Upon returning to the Fourth Prince's residence, the Fourth Prince dismissed his wife and other women from the inner quarters who had come to greet him, leaving only a few older, scholarly princes behind, and then led them back to the front courtyard.
In the study, after checking the homework of the princes, the Fourth Prince sent them back.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Gao Wuyong reported, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has returned and says he has something to discuss with you!"

Fourth Master patted his head and said, "Father also believes in your second uncle, the Crown Prince. Father will investigate and find out the truth."
Hongxuan tilted his little head up and looked at the Fourth Prince expectantly, asking, "Then what about the Crown Prince's second uncle...?"
"Xuan'er, you know what I mean. Once the imperial decree is issued, it cannot be taken back." The Fourth Prince's cold words shattered Hongxuan's unrealistic fantasies.
"Even if we find out the truth, it won't work?" Hongxuan asked, clinging to his last shred of hope.
Fourth Master shook his head. "No! Besides, your second uncle, the Crown Prince, has already realized this."
Upon hearing this, Hongxuan hugged the Fourth Prince's warm embrace tightly, burying his head in the Fourth Prince's chest, as if that would make him feel better.
Fourth Prince understood Hongxuan's feelings. He patted Hongxuan's back and said after a long while, "In the future, help your cousins from the Crown Prince's second uncle's family with what you can. Don't let those who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak ruin them."
Hongxuan, nestled in Fourth Master's arms, agreed, "Okay!"
