"As children grow up, they are no longer as open and honest with their parents and relatives as they were when they were young. We must give them room to grow."
“I don’t mind that he has his own secrets, but his actions make me feel that in his heart, I am not as worthy of his closeness and trust as Suo’etu.”
That's the root of his sadness.
After saying so much, Youqing asked, "What do you plan to do with Suo'etu?"
Having the audacity to assassinate the emperor, in such an era, such a crime could easily lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family. However, the identity of Suo'etu made things truly difficult to handle.
Emperor Kangxi did not care about Suo'etu's life. Suo'etu was quite capable, but the court could not do without him. However, if Suo'etu's crimes were revealed, the Crown Prince would not be able to escape the consequences. Emperor Kangxi was reluctant and could not bear to do so.

Emperor Kangxi was not without his worries; in fact, he probably had more worries than anyone else.
Balancing the relationship between the imperial court and the harem, as well as weighing the pros and cons of numerous important matters, could lead to severe consequences with a single misstep. In the past, he could only keep these concerns to himself and process them on his own.
