Inside Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince looked at Liang Jiugong in bewilderment. What had he just said? The Emperor wanted to dethrone him? What had he done wrong? Why was he dethroned?
"I don't understand what you just said. Why did the Emperor abolish my position as Crown Prince for no reason? Did I do something wrong?
No, I want to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I didn't do anything wrong, so why would the Emperor want to depose me? I don't believe the Emperor would make such a decision!
Although the prince is young, the education he received since childhood makes him clearly understand that things are not that simple. He has done nothing wrong, but he has been implicated.
But he is just a child, and his uncle Soetu has been very honest recently. He doesn't think there is any possibility that he will be implicated by him.
If it wasn't him, then who had the power to make the decision to depose the crown prince? Or was it that he, the crown prince, had offended someone?
The prince, who already felt guilty because he did not have his mother's protection, thought a lot in an instant, but he was no longer the prince, so even if he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to show them.
After all, he was too young. If he were older, he would definitely go to the Qianqing Palace to find out the truth.
"Second Prince, I don't know the truth about this matter. I just received this decree when I returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. To be honest, if you want to know the reason, you should ask the emperor yourself.
I know you have doubts in your heart, but please understand me. I didn't want this to happen. The imperial decree has been issued, and I will not stay in Yuqing Palace for long. Take care, Second Prince.
Yinreng, who was no longer the crown prince, felt very uncomfortable when he heard him call him "Second Prince" over and over again. Since he was born, the person he heard the most was "Your Highness the Crown Prince". In the morning, he was still the crown prince. How could he have become the Second Prince in just one day?
But he has always been the best-behaved person. After all, if he wants to gain Kangxi's approval, he must first manage himself well. So, he can only send Liang Jiugong away with a smile.
As soon as Liang Jiugong left Yuqing Palace, he shook his head regretfully. He didn't know why he was implicated and lost his position as crown prince. He was obviously still young and knew nothing. Could it be related to the late queen?
If it was really related to the late queen, then he would not be wronged. After all, the late queen did some things behind his back, but she was gone and nothing similar happened in the harem, so the matter was left unresolved.
Judging from the scene he had seen in the Palace of Heavenly Purity before, it was most likely that the Queen had done something shameful again and was discovered by Kangxi. If nothing unexpected happened, the position of Empress would be left vacant.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi locked himself up and faced the wall to reflect on the past. After all, everything that happened today was caused by him. If he were not the emperor, none of this would have happened. But things had come to this point, and he could only accept these results.
The Queen must be sentenced to death, and the Nianhulu clan will not have an easy life either, but this matter will always have an impact on the royal family. He cannot let this influence expand, which will be detrimental to management, but he cannot just let it go.
There is also the Hesheli clan. They must have known that the queen dared to harm the royal heir. If they didn't know, how could this matter be concealed for so long?
The reason why the Queen knew these things was that she was unwilling to be a concubine and had been secretly watching Empress Yuan and discovered them. If she hadn't said it today, he would never have believed that Empress Yuan would do such a thing.
It seems that his understanding of the harem is still a little lacking, and he will have to send someone to watch over it in the future.
Now Mu Sili is still pregnant with his child. If she wasn't lucky, the child would have been born by now and he wouldn't know about these things.
It's obvious that this child is a blessed one. He will not only bring good luck to his mother, but also to his father. After he is born, he will raise him well.
As for the deposed Yinreng, he was his legitimate son, but when he thought of his birth, he felt a sense of disgust towards him for no reason.
If Empress Yuan had not died of hemorrhage, and he had only this one legitimate son, and Empress Yuan had not entrusted him with the care of her son before her death, how could he have appointed him as the crown prince?
It seems that he still needs to be disciplined more strictly in the future. They are all his sons, and he shouldn't give him the throne of crown prince just because he is the legitimate son.
With such a vicious biological mother, if he inherited her viciousness, then all his brothers would suffer at his hands in the future. In order to avoid such a situation, he would send people to keep an eye on him.
The Soetu and Niuhulu clans are still of some use now, so let's stay away from them for now. If they do anything excessive one day, he will punish them together with the others.
The Cining Palace was a completely different scene at this time. Mu Sili had regained her former liveliness. She acted like a little girl in front of Empress Xiaozhuang, which made her very happy.
"How could I have imagined that the woman Xuanye likes has such a personality? Her birth is low, but her status can be raised. As long as she always sticks to her original intention, I don't mind giving her a chance."
"Who says it's not true, Gege? To be honest, I really like the young lady, and I have a hunch that she is pregnant with a prince.
The Emperor only has three princes now, which is really too few. Moreover, I feel a sense of closeness to the child in the young lady's belly. I am really at a loss."
There was confusion and puzzlement in Su Malagu's eyes. She didn't understand why she had such thoughts about her. They had clearly met before, but why didn't she realize that she gave her a feeling of closeness?
Xiaozhuang looked at her in surprise. Did she feel the same way? She thought she was the only one who felt that way. If she wasn't interested in the child in her belly, how could she accept her so quickly?
"I feel the same way. This shows that this child is destined to be with me and the Cining Palace. Since Xuanye asked her to stay with me for a while, I will definitely protect her. I also like her personality. There's nothing wrong with her."
"You're right. The young lady looks lively. With her here, our Cining Palace will be more lively. However, the emperor has decreed that the second prince's position as crown prince has been abolished. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Bao Ben was born young. Although he is the legitimate son, without his mother's protection, he cannot sit firmly on the throne of Crown Prince. I don't know why Xuanye abolished his position as Crown Prince, but from my speculation, it is probably related to Empress Hesheli."
Su Malagu was stunned. It was indeed possible that it was because of her that Yinreng was deposed from the position of Crown Prince. However, when a person dies, his debts are settled. What on earth happened in the Palace of Heavenly Purity today that made Kangxi make such a decision?
"Do you need me to send someone to gather information? The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. If he is deposed so easily, I'm afraid the former dynasty will be in turmoil."
"He has his own plans. All I can do is give him guidance when he's confused. He's grown up now, and there are some things I can't interfere with."
