The prince looked at Kangxi in bewilderment. The Crown Princess was dead, so they were just going to ignore the matter? No, it was better to just ignore it. If the matter was just forgotten, it would mean that Kangxi would not hold him accountable.
You have to know that ever since the Crown Princess exposed the matter of Yuqing Palace, he has been in a state of tension, fearing that Kangxi would suddenly say that he would thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine Li.
Now, he didn't think about it at all, and he could feel at ease. However, there was already news that Concubine Li was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, and he had to confirm it no matter what.
In order to prevent her from wanting more things with this pregnancy after giving birth, you should gradually forget about her after she gives birth.
The most important thing is that he cannot spoil this baby. After all, it is not his child, and he cannot love someone else's child as deeply as he loves his.
"Son, I understand. I will take my wife to Fengxian Temple to apologize to our ancestors. I'll trouble Mama and Mother to take care of the children."
If the occasion was not wrong, Yinqi would have laughed out loud to see what Kangxi was saying, and then went to Fengxian Hall to burn incense and pray for his ancestors' forgiveness.
Who burns only one stick of incense when asking for forgiveness from their ancestors? Don't they all kneel before the ancestral tablets and ask for forgiveness?
If you don't kneel for three days and three nights, you would be embarrassed to say that you are apologizing for your behavior.
However, Kangxi did this obviously because he was on Mu Sili's side. Since he was on her side, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to let him do it again.
The Queen Mother, who had been silent all this time, now regained her former kindness. Since the Crown Princess was dead, she would not care about anything.
But she was concerned about what she had just said about Concubine Li. She believed that Kangxi also cared about it. She wanted to see how many babies Concubine Li was pregnant with!
The Crown Princess's words clearly meant that she wanted to confuse the royal bloodline. If the Crown Prince knew about this and allowed her to do so, she would have to consider whether he was suitable for this position.
Not only that, she believed that Kangxi would not let them go easily. Once the prince's status was affected, Yinqi would have a chance.
The same goes for Concubine Yi. She has now become a concubine thanks to the quadruplets. If she can go one step further, who would refuse?
She was also waiting for Kangxi's attitude. After all, Kangxi would not tolerate any injustice, and she didn't believe that he would ignore this matter.
No matter how much he favors the crown prince, daring to confuse the royal bloodline is a serious crime. If he is the one who is in charge of all this, it will be even better. It is possible that he will directly depose the crown prince.
Concubine Hui and others also had the same idea. The Crown Princess was the mistress of Yuqing Palace. Her words might be mixed with water, but they must be true.
Since she said that there was a problem with Concubine Li's pregnancy, there must be a problem. However, Kangxi didn't say anything, and they couldn't say anything. After all, it was not their turn to decide.
After Yinqi took Mu Sili to Fengxian Hall, Kangxi said to everyone present that the full moon banquet for the quadruplets was over.
Everyone was not stupid and knew that he was going to take care of household chores, so they said goodbye and left.
Everyone wants to eat gossip, but not all gossip is acceptable to them, like this one.
As they expected, before they left the palace, Liang Jiugong personally led people to warn them.
What happened in the palace today is a scandal. If it gets out, none of them will have a good time.
When only Kangxi and others were left at the scene, he looked coldly at the prince who was still minding his own business.
He knew what he was proud of. It was probably because he felt that he didn't believe what the Crown Princess said.
To be honest, he really didn't believe it, but coincidentally, the Crown Princess dared to say so before her death, so there must be evidence.
If there is evidence, he is not afraid of investigation. He wants to see what the truth is. The prince had better not be stupid, otherwise he will definitely destroy this evil son of his!
"Come here, call the imperial physician who examined Li's pulse and the head of the Imperial Hospital over here. I want to see how many babies she has in her belly!"
The prince, who thought the matter was over, was confused. What did he mean? Didn't he believe him?
"Father Emperor, Li's belly is so big, how could the imperial physician misdiagnose her pulse? You can't listen to that bitch's provocation."
Kangxi knew without even guessing that he was afraid. Fear meant it was real. He felt irritated for no reason. He was really a good son.
Soetu had wanted to take action against the unborn Mu Sili before, and he had reason to suspect that this was also his instigation.
Trust can collapse in an instant. The current prince is no longer worthy of his trust, or in other words, the entire Yuqing Palace has become a different person in his eyes.
If Concubine Li's pregnancy was really fake, he would not only be disappointed in the Crown Prince, but would also lose trust in Hongxi, the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Even though he has royal blood, he will lose everything that belongs to him because of the actions of the prince and Li.
"I only believe in evidence. No one else's words are as important to me as evidence. If you haven't done it, then why should you be afraid?"
Upon hearing this, the prince lowered his head guiltily. For some reason, he had a feeling that Kangxi had seen through him, but he felt that he was not wrong.
Ultimately, it’s all the fault of Yinqi and his wife. If they hadn’t suddenly stepped forward, how could these things have happened?
What the prince didn’t know was that after seeing his performance, Kangxi’s disappointment in him increased. Why did he dote on such an irresponsible person so much?
Could it be that he made this decision out of the little bit of affection he had for the late queen? Or was it because he felt sorry for the fact that he lost his mother at a young age?
"For a moment, I didn't know how to tell you this. You think it's unnecessary, but I don't think so. Confusing the royal bloodline is a grave crime, punishing nine generations of the family. Do you think I will listen to you and not confirm it?
If I remember correctly, those officials and their wives have taken to heart what Guaerjia said today. If you don't want Hongxi to be criticized in the future, don't stop me from sending Li."
The prince knew that Kangxi was really angry and didn't dare to say anything. Yinzhi looked at him sarcastically. He was really a waste who relied on his status to become the prince. In fact, he was useless.
"The Emperor is right. Come on, why don't you call the imperial physician? Do you want to keep the Emperor waiting?"
Kangxi frowned at Yinzhi. Why was he everywhere? He was just brave but not wise. It seemed that he would have to pay less attention to him in the future, so that he would not continue to be so ignorant of the importance of things.
The imperial physician and the head of the Imperial Medical Service came over quickly. The imperial physician knelt on the ground with a pale face. Without even Kangxi asking, he had completely betrayed the Crown Princess.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I am guilty, but I lied about Concubine Li's pregnancy because of the Crown Princess's coercion and bribery. I do not deny that I did something wrong. I plead guilty.
This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness has been kept in the dark. Concubine Li even agreed with the Crown Princess that after the birth of the baby, she would give one of the babies to raise...”
