He Yue gasped.
It turned out that Emperor Kangxi had known about what happened that day, but had never punished him.
He Yue's heart was pounding; he feared that Emperor Kangxi would not easily forgive him now.
Thirteen had not spoken for a long time.
He Yue thought that Thirteen was stunned by Kangxi's words and dared not plead for him any longer.
She only hoped that he would go back temporarily and not anger Kangxi again.
After all, Emperor Kangxi dotes on him now, and Heyue doesn't want him to lose Emperor Kangxi's favor because of this.
Just as everyone was on edge, a calm voice came: "Father, I will make sure that the people in the household give birth to an heir as soon as possible. Please release Heyue, Father."
It was like a thunderclap suddenly ringing in my ears, making them buzz.

But Kangxi spoke again, this time with a clear softening in his tone: "Oh? Can you really do it?"
"Your subject will certainly prioritize the succession and will no longer act willfully and recklessly." The heavy sound of kowtowing came from outside, accompanied by his calm voice without any fluctuation, as if all the arguments and loss of composure just now had never happened, and all the anger and fear had settled down without a trace.
This is completely different from the man who used to have a gentle voice, sometimes revealing a childlike willfulness and resentment.
His tone had never been so calm, like the surface of a still lake.
But his voice was clearly familiar; it was Thirteen, no doubt.
But why would he say such a thing?
Even if he did it to protect Heyue, Heyue could not accept what she was hearing at that moment.
