"Go back and tell His Highness that I will be going to Yuqing Palace tomorrow. Tell His Highness to be patient and not to worry about unimportant things."
"Yes, I will definitely tell His Highness. It's getting late, so I will return to the palace to serve you. I will take my leave."
As soon as the palace maid left, Soetu immediately gathered people to take action against Mu Sili. No matter what, since the child in her belly affected the prince, she should not continue to exist.
Although he felt that the prince's behavior was unacceptable, he had the blood of the Hesheli family in his veins, so whatever he said should put him at ease.
Soetu thought that everything he did was very secretive, but he didn't expect that after he ordered people to take action against Mu Sili, Kangxi knew his plan at the first time.
"I thought Soetu was a good man, but I didn't expect he was also malicious, even the Crown Prince. I always thought he would get along well with his brothers, but I didn't expect him to be jealous of Xiaowu's wife for giving birth to twins.
He is the Crown Prince, the one I appointed, the first Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty. Why is he so narrow-minded? Was it because I doted on him too much in the past, or was it because I didn't teach him well enough over the years and was deceived by his false appearance?
I am determined to become the greatest emperor of all time, and the Crown Prince must not make any mistakes. No matter how much I love him, if he dares to do anything that will damage my reputation after my death, I will not forgive him easily.
No wonder Xiaowu reacted like that when his wife got pregnant with twins last month. He guessed that the prince would not let his wife give birth smoothly, so he made preparations in advance.
How could I have given birth to such a rebellious son? Other families would like to have more brothers to help the older ones, but he is so good that he would plot against his brothers for such a small matter.
If his idea really succeeds, not only Yinqi will not be able to accept it, but he, as his father, will not be able to accept it either. It's not that there are twins, boy and girl, but there really aren't any in the royal family!
He was happy that only a pair had appeared in so many years, and he felt that this was God's recognition of the Qing Dynasty's compliance with the will of heaven. But the bastard prince actually wanted to destroy it!
If the matter of deposing the crown prince had not involved such a huge problem, he really wanted to depose him to teach him a lesson, so that he would not always act without considering the consequences.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made this decision because he was not thinking clearly at the moment. You raised him, how could he do something wrong?
This matter was Lord Suo's fault. His Highness only asked him to help him relieve his anger. It was his own decision to take action against the Fifth Lady, and it had nothing to do with the Crown Prince.
As you know, you are usually too busy to take care of the prince, so the task of taking care of the prince falls on Lord Suo, so all this is Lord Suo's fault.
However, the emperor should not think about these things now. Lord Suo wants to take action against the Fifth Lady, but the palace is your place and he can't do it.
You'd better think about what would happen if Concubine Yi and the Fifth Prince knew about this. Based on my years of experience, you won't be able to escape."
When Liang Jiugong said the last sentence, his eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Kangxi. Concubine Yi was a tough woman, and he was really afraid that she would go straight to the Qianqing Palace to scratch his neck.
Kangxi shuddered instantly when he thought that Concubine Yi would come and cause trouble for him. He was not exaggerating, she was really capable of doing such a thing.
"Since you know what Concubine Yi will do, why don't you quickly take people to protect Concubine Xiaowu and teach Suo Etu a lesson? Because he is the Crown Prince's uncle, I will not touch him for now. If he does it again, I will kill him."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Perhaps because Kangxi stopped it in time, not only was Mu Sili safe, but Concubine Yi and Yinqi also did not receive any news.
The next day, when the prince learned that Soetu had sent people to attack Mu Sili but was stopped and captured, he felt extremely guilty.
"Why is my uncle so useless? He can't even do the things I ask him to do. Will I still be able to have him by my side when I ascend the throne? I don't need fools around."
Soetu never entered the palace. He was shocked that Kangxi found out about his behavior so quickly, and was still hiding in Hesheli Mansion to think of a solution.
If he knew what the prince was thinking, he would definitely regret working for him wholeheartedly. After all, only a fool would do such a thankless task.
"Well, since the Emperor is determined to protect her, I can't say anything. If my fifth brother's wife can give birth to twins, then my concubine can too.
As long as Li gives birth to twins, the Emperor's attention will still be on me. I will never allow my fifth brother to stand on my head and play around!"
As the Crown Prince wished, the Crown Princess had someone spread the news that Concubine Li was pregnant with twins, suspected to be a boy and a girl, and bribed the imperial physician when he came to treat her.
She felt that she was now an unforgivable evil person who deserved to die, but all this was forced by the prince, so she wanted to drag them down with her and let them go to hell with her.
The road to the underworld is too long and it would be scary to walk alone, so of course she has to bring a companion!
Concubine Li did not react much to the false news spread by the Crown Princess that she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. After all, the Crown Prince had already informed her that no matter whether she was pregnant with a prince or a princess, the children she would give birth to would be twins, a boy and a girl.
What she had to do now was how to give birth to the baby safely under the nose of the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince would take care of the rest.
She has been in the palace for many years and knows what kind of person the Crown Princess is. She probably hates her very much, so it is not surprising that she attacked her. But she is not someone who will accept things submissively, so she naturally will not give in obediently.
The Crown Princess couldn't have children now. Without a legitimate son, how could she compare to the favored concubine who had a son? When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, even if she was only a noble concubine, she could eventually become the Empress Dowager.
When she becomes the empress dowager, she will do whatever it takes to make the Crown Princess the second Empress Dowager Tong. There will only need to be one empress dowager in the harem, and that person will be her.
The smug look on Concubine Li's face was clearly seen by the Crown Princess's people, and she turned around and told the Crown Princess about it.
The Crown Princess sneered and said, "Let her be proud as she wants. When she gives birth, she will know that her current pride will be her death warrant."
Because the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess did not do anything else, Mu Sili had a very good pregnancy. With Concubine Yi and Yinqi accompanying her every day, she easily became eight months pregnant.
"Why hasn't the Royal Mother come back yet? She said she would be gone for three months at most, but she's been gone for almost half a year. My daughter-in-law misses her so much."
"I just received a letter from the Queen Mother a few days ago, saying that she's on the way and should be arriving soon. She will definitely not miss the day of your birth. She's still looking forward to holding her great-grandson, so don't worry."
