The prince was stunned. The nanny was right. He was the legitimate son, and the others were illegitimate sons. As illegitimate sons, they should respect him.
"Send that servant back. I don't need him to deliver the message anymore."
"yes."
"Jingyang Palace is now in power, and I am still young. I will wait a few years and then I will eliminate them.
It is enough for me to be the only son in this palace who is favored by the Emperor. Anyone else who dares to snatch the Emperor's favor from me must be prepared to die at any time."
"Your Highness is right. You only need to keep a low profile and protect the Emperor's favor. When you ascend the throne, the whole world will be yours.
Even if you want to kill the imperial concubine and her son, isn't it just a matter of a word? The whole world is yours, who would dare to disobey you?
As for Lord Soetu, you cannot make enemies with him. As long as he helps you maintain your position as crown prince, he can still be of use.
But I find him too bold, and I'm afraid he might actually threaten you. It would be better to wait until you ascend the throne and eliminate him. Then no one will dare to suppress you."
The wet nurse's words immediately made the prince's eyes light up. It was indeed true. He just needed to hold on for a few more years. When he sat on the throne, he would have the final say.
As for Mu Sili and her son, if they obeyed him, he could give them a chance to live.
If they refuse, don't blame him for disregarding brotherhood and killing them one by one.
"Just as Madam said, Madam, you have taken care of me and have always cared about me, so you deserve a reward.
Come here, pick out some of the rewards that the emperor gave me a few days ago and give them to the nanny. The nanny is kind to me, and I can't let her down.
Madam, if I do anything wrong in the future, just point it out to me. When I ascend the throne, I will confer upon you the title of First-Rank Lady.
You have served me well. If it weren't for the rules, I would have promoted you to a higher rank."
The prince's wet nurse's eyes lit up. As expected, as long as the prince was controlled, wealth and glory would come easily.
"It is my blessing to serve Your Highness. It is my duty to share His Highness's worries. As long as Your Highness is well, I will be relieved.
As for the First Rank Imperial Concubine that Your Highness mentioned, that is all Your Highness's gift. Even if it is only a Fifth Rank Lady, I would be happy."
The prince was satisfied. Now Mu Sili had two sons and a daughter. Fortunately, they were not grown up yet, so he had to gain Kangxi's approval in the shortest time possible.
In the following time, the prince studied very hard, which impressed Kangxi a lot.
But when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. He knew what kind of person the prince was, so he sent someone to investigate.
Soetu, who had been waiting for a message from the prince, was also puzzled. Given the prince's temperament, it was impossible for him to be so obedient.
But it has been several days and he hasn't asked anyone to contact him. This is very abnormal.
Forget it. Instead of thinking about it here, I might as well go to Yuqing Palace after court tomorrow to ask about the situation.
You have to know what the prince is thinking in order to know what to do next.
The next day, Soetu went to Yuqing Palace as soon as he finished his court session. At that time, the prince was still studying in the Shangshufang.
When the prince learned that Soetu was waiting for him in Yuqing Palace, he became a little impatient. He knew without hesitation that Soetu was here to gather information.
The nanny said that the world would belong to him from now on, so why should he answer whatever Soetu asked?
"Come here, tell my uncle that I'm busy studying and can't go back for the time being. Please ask him to come back another day.
Oh, tell Uncle Grandpa that I know what he means, but I just want to study hard to win the favor of the Emperor. If there is nothing else, tell him not to come."
"yes."
Inside Yuqing Palace, Soetu looked at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict in disbelief.
What does the prince mean by this? Could it be that he feels that he is too old to use his uncle anymore?
Don’t come here again in the future. If he didn’t have the blood of the Hesheli clan in his body, he wouldn’t have to worry about a child without a mother to protect him.
But this is too abnormal. The prince would never make such a decision before. It must be that someone gave him advice, which is why he became like this.
Moreover, it has only been a few days, and this person is most likely from Yuqing Palace and is someone trusted by the prince.
After careful investigation, Soetu set his sights on the prince's wet nurse.
He had noticed before that this wet nurse seemed to have some ulterior motives, but she was just a servant, so he never took it to heart.
Now it seems that he was wrong. The prince really valued this wet nurse, otherwise he would not be influenced by her words.
Since this wet nurse is so restless, he will find a time to get rid of her.
There is also Ling Pu, who is considered the prince's wet father. If this nanny is like this, it must be obvious that Ling Pu is even worse.
Only after Soetu left did the wet nurse curl her lips in disdain.
The prince was raised by her, so naturally he is on her side. As long as she works harder and makes the prince develop some bad habits, her second half of life will be secure.
That’s not all, even her husband can benefit greatly.
Kangxi was also somewhat puzzled when he learned that Soetu went to Yuqing Palace to find the prince but failed to see him.
The prince was still quite concerned about Soetu. Could it be that Soetu did something that made him dislike him?
"Liang Jiugong, go and find out why the prince has been acting so abnormally lately."
"yes."
Liang Jiugong quickly found out the news, and his face looked a little unhappy.
"What makes you look like that? Tell me, what did you find out?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the intention of harming Concubine Cheng and her son, but he is still young and does not have the ability to do it.
I have found out that all this was instigated by the prince's wet nurse in order to control the prince. The prince is now convinced that the wet nurse is the only one who treats him well, even..."
Liang Jiugong paused when he said this, and secretly looked at Kangxi's expression. When he saw that he looked surprised, he shut up.
"Even what?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes that he will be able to sit on the throne in a few years when he is old enough, so he studies hard in order to impress you."
Kangxi was so angry that he almost laughed. He thought the prince had changed his arrogant character, but he didn't expect it was all an act.
But he is still young and the only child left by Queen Hesheli. He will be given a chance no matter what.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on Yuqing Palace. I want to know the Crown Prince's movements at all times. As for his wet nurse, since she dared to instigate the Crown Prince, she must be prepared to be killed.
You should go to the Cining Palace in person for this matter. I remember that the Imperial Madam should still have a lot of secret medicines from the previous dynasty. Go and get some for the madam to use.
Remember, the Crown Prince must not find out about this. If he does, I will hold you responsible."
