"Where is the Crown Prince? Go and tell that rebellious son to go to the Qianqing Palace and wait for me." Kangxi was still furious, and the fatigue from traveling all night could not dispel the anger in his heart.

It's just that there are so many people outside and it's not appropriate to explode at this moment.

"Well, I'll go to Yuqing Palace and pass on the message." Liang Jiugong knew that at this time he could only do what Kangxi said.

Therefore, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He bowed neatly, turned around, got out of the carriage, and headed straight towards Yuqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, what about the Empress Dowager..." The master went out to do something, so Wei Zhu took the initiative to step forward and asked Kangxi about the next arrangements.

They hurried all the way and finally returned to the Forbidden City before dawn.

After traveling day and night, everyone was exhausted, and the most important thing now was to settle everyone down first.

Especially for the elderly Empress Dowager, proper arrangements must be made as soon as possible.

Wei Zhu didn't know whether Kangxi was in the mood to deal with these trivial matters at the moment, so she simply asked the most important person, the Empress Dowager, first.

"Everything remains the same. I will send the Empress Dowager back to Shoukang Palace for resettlement first. As for the rest, I will let the Imperial Concubine handle it." No matter how anxious Kangxi was, he could not easily ignore the Empress Dowager.

Especially in a situation like today.

Countless eyes were staring at him inside and outside the palace, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

"Yeah." Wei Zhu was not surprised. He also responded and was about to take the order and leave.

He had to quickly inform the imperial concubine, so as to avoid any miscommunication and mess things up.

"Wait!" Just when Wei Zhu was about to get off the carriage, Kangxi seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly stopped him.

"Since we have already gone to the Imperial Concubine's place, let's bring Xirui with us and let her accompany me to send the Empress Dowager back to the palace." Whenever Kangxi thought of the troubles caused by his good son in the palace, he felt a headache.

After thinking about it, it seemed that apart from Xirui, he couldn't find anyone else to talk to him about this matter.

In desperation, I had to ask my daughter to run again.

"And let's call Yinqi as well." Calling Xirui alone seemed a bit too prominent, so Kangxi added his son who was already being raised by the Empress Dowager as well.

Wei Zhu took note of it silently, glanced at Kangxi twice, and when he saw that he didn't look like he had any other instructions, he felt relieved to go out and pass on the message.

What was originally an oral order has now turned into running to three places.

Wei Zhu's legs were so tired that sparks were almost coming out of them, but he finally managed to deliver the message before the team stopped.

"Brother, please wait here for a moment, Princess." Wei Zhu led Xirui and Yinqi to stand in front of the Empress Dowager's carriage.

There was already movement coming from the imperial carriage in front.

Kangxi soon came to join them.

"Did you sleep well last night?" The caring voice came from far away, and along with his warm palm, fell on Xirui and Yinqi's heads.

The father and his two sons exchanged a few pleasantries. "I didn't sleep much in the first half of the night, but I fell asleep without realizing it..."

"A good night's sleep, the carriage ride was just the right amount of bumpy..."

Only when the curtain of the Empress Dowager's carriage was lifted did the three of them tacitly stop talking.

Kangxi took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to support the Empress Dowager's side and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Empress Dowager. I will take you back to Shoukang Palace for resettlement."

The Empress Dowager's expression was indeed not very good. Even when facing Kangxi, she just smiled reluctantly and responded, "The Emperor is thoughtful."

Her old bones really can't take it anymore, it would be good for her to return to the palace and rest early.

Seeing this, Kangxi held the man steadily and walked towards the sedan chair waiting on the side.

"Wait, why isn't the prince here..." As the crown prince, shouldn't Yinreng come out to greet the emperor when he returns to the palace?

After taking a few steps, her long-shaken mind finally seemed to return to normal, and the empress dowager thought of her precious grandson who stayed in the palace.

The people around were all stunned when they heard this, and their steps slowed down slightly.

For a moment, all eyes, some open and some hidden, were cast towards the Empress Dowager.

Could it be that she doesn’t know what happened in the palace?

Xirui and Yinqi's eyes met in the crowd, and the doubts in their hearts were revealed.

"I decided to return on a whim and did not inform the Crown Prince in advance. Madam, please go back to the palace and have a rest first. I will ask the Crown Prince to pay his respects to you later." This little scene certainly did not pose any difficulty for Kangxi.

He was the one who reacted the fastest among all of them.

After giving a reasonable explanation without changing his expression, he supported the Empress Dowager and continued walking forward.

Apart from the brief pause just now, there was no sign of abnormality on his face.

He didn't have to discuss with anyone about rushing back to the palace overnight, but he had to inform the Empress Dowager first.

Therefore, although the old lady did not know everything, she at least had a rough idea of ​​it.

The reason why she blurted out that question was simply because she had just got off the carriage and was still a little dazed.

In fact, she had already reacted after asking this question.

"Okay, then let's go back to Shoukang Palace first." Since Kangxi had already made amends for her, the Empress Dowager naturally would not give her an excuse and just went along with what he said.

"Grandmother, let your grandson support you." Receiving the eye signal from the Emperor's father, Yinqi quickly jumped to the side of the Empress Dowager and supported her other arm.

"You naughty boy, you just went out for a trip, and you have forgotten all the composure that you have cultivated with great difficulty." The empress dowager's nerves, which were tense due to her wrong words, were finally relaxed by Yinqi's interruption.

The grandfather and grandson chatted with each other and soon cleared up the matter.

This was exactly what Kangxi intended.

There were some things he had to tell the Empress Dowager, but he really didn't want her to worry too much.

Fortunately, there is Yinqi.

Kangxi thought so, and his eyes could not help but stay on his son for a few seconds, "Yinqi, stay and accompany your grandmother. You don't have to rush back to the prince's residence today."

He still had to deal with Yinreng's affairs later, so he left Yinqi in Shoukang Palace in the hope that he could stabilize the Empress Dowager.

Since the Emperor had spoken, Yinqi had no right to say "no".

Not to mention that the Empress Dowager on the other side also nodded in agreement.

"The Crown Prince has stayed in the palace for many days. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard." After the Empress Dowager ordered someone to clean up Yinqi's residence, she turned around and whispered to Kangxi.

"You are blood relatives, there is nothing you can't talk about nicely, what does the emperor think?" Since it concerns the prince, even if she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, she has to say a few more words.
