Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

"What a great anti-Qing and restoration of Ming, what a great Longkodo, what a great Eighth Prince!" After a while, Kangxi slapped the mattress with an extremely gloomy expression.

Shi Nanxi was slightly surprised that the assassin at the banquet turned out to be a person who was against the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty. She thought that it was an assassin arranged by a prince, but how could a person who was against the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty lurk in front of the emperor? You must know that the guards in front of Kangxi were all strictly selected bannermen, and there were no Han people. How did the other party pass the layers of selection and come to the emperor?

Then she remembered that Kangxi mentioned Longkodo and the Eighth Prince later, and suddenly she had an idea and had a guess.

Longkodo is the legitimate son of the Tong family. Even though the Tong family is not as good as before, it is Kangxi's maternal family after all, and a big Manchu family. Longkodo was once a first-class guard. If he stood on the side of the Eighth Prince, he might secretly plant spies for the Eighth Prince in the imperial guards. This might be taken advantage of by those who were against the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty, leading to today's assassination.

Sure enough, after Kangxi became furious, he did not hide the truth from Shi Nanxi and told her the whole story.

Just as she expected, the Eighth Prince and Longkodo colluded secretly, but were taken advantage of by those who were against the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty. The other party originally wanted to assassinate Kangxi, but an incident at the birthday banquet made them change their mind and instead assassinate the prince.

This was because he knew that he would be found out sooner or later and there was no chance of him surviving, so since the success rate of assassinating Kangxi was not high, it would be better to assassinate the crown prince. This would not only cause Kangxi to lose his crown prince, causing the Qing Dynasty to lose its crown prince and become turbulent, but would also cause the princes to kill each other for the new crown prince.

"It's hateful, so hateful, I will cut him into pieces!"

Kangxi's eyes turned red with hatred, and his overwhelming imperial power made people feel breathless.

Shi Nanxi understood Kangxi's hatred and said nothing. She just held Kangxi's hand tightly, which was trembling with anger.

"And Longkodo..." Kangxi's eyes were filled with chills. "He dared to form a clique in secret, participate in the fight for the throne, plant spies, and spy on the emperor. He has committed many serious crimes. He deserves death. Liang Jiugong, pass on my order to take Longkodo to the clan house and sentence him to death after interrogation. Tong Guowei will be exiled to Ningguta, and the Tong family will be demoted one rank."

Liang Jiugong immediately agreed, and Kangxi continued to give orders:

"There is also the Eighth Prince." He said in a harsh and cold tone:

"Your birth mother is humble, your origin is low, but you are arrogant and sinister, you covet the position of crown prince, you form a clique for personal gain, you spy on the emperor, you are disrespectful to the emperor, each of these is a serious crime, now I will strip you of your title of Beile, and confine you to the Eighth Prince's mansion, you are not allowed to enter or leave without my order."

Liang Jiugong swallowed and agreed again. Kangxi then liquidated the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince who were under the Eighth Prince's party.

"The Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince followed the Eighth Prince to form a clique, attempting to covet the position of crown prince. They have confined the Tenth Prince's mansion and the Fourteenth Prince's mansion respectively. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. The Ninth Prince..."

When talking about the Ninth Prince, Kangxi's expression was even more disgusted and hateful:

"He has a vicious heart and framed the Crown Prince. He has no brotherly love or father-son love. I order you to detain the Ninth Prince at Yangfeng Alley and confine him there. No one is allowed to visit him without my order."

Shi Nanxi pursed her lips when she heard this. She had once made a deal with Concubine Yi, promising her to save the Ninth Prince's life. Now Kangxi was imprisoning the Ninth Prince but did not want to kill him, so she did not say anything.

Finally, Kangxi also liquidated the eldest and third princes.

"The eldest prince, Prince Zhi, and the third prince, Prince Cheng, disregarded the brotherhood and my father, and were eager for quick success and instant benefits. They also kept an eye on the emperor and were suspected of coveting the throne. They are now demoted to beile and are required to reflect on their actions in the palace."

After he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong waited for a while, and when he saw that the emperor stopped talking, he respectfully withdrew and passed on the order.

The room was silent. Kangxi had sentenced so many people in one breath, but those were all his closest relatives. How could he feel good about it?

"Nanxi, am I such a failure as an emperor and a royal father?"

Shi Nanxi did not answer directly, but looked at Kangxi and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you think the world is now peaceful and the people can live and work in peace?"

Kangxi didn't know why Nanxi asked this, he pursed his lips and said:

"Today, although I can't say that every corner of the Qing Dynasty is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, the vast majority of people are living in peace and contentment."

"That's it." Shi Nanxi smiled softly, put Kangxi's hand into the quilt, tucked it in and said:

"Your Majesty is an emperor, but he is also a human being. He cannot take care of every corner. As for the failure of being an emperor?"

At this point, Shi Nanxi nodded seriously:

"Well, it's a bit..."

Kangxi, who was sitting on the bed, looked over in astonishment. He thought Nanxi would continue to comfort him, but he didn't expect...

Facing Kangxi's stunned expression,

Shinanxi raised an eyebrow.

"Your Majesty thought that I would continue to comfort you, but I only told the truth. Look at our Fifteenth Prince. Everyone in the capital knows that he is a famous dandy prince. How could I, against my conscience, praise Your Majesty for being a successful father?"

"What's wrong with Fifteen? I think Fifteen is a very good kid!"

Kangxi disagreed. After he finished speaking, he thought of something and suddenly sighed, saying with some melancholy:

"I find that Nanxi is better at educating children. Shiwu is very good, really very good."

Thinking of the performance of the child at the banquet, he was only eleven years old! But no matter his temperament, courage, carefulness, agility, intelligence, etc., he was perfect in every aspect.

He looked up and said:

"Nanxi, if the prince's health is really bad, what do you think about us fifteen..."

Before Kangxi finished speaking, Shi Nanxi gently interrupted him:

"Our fifteenth child is wild and has always wanted to grow up and see the outside world. With his naughty look, he should just go out and cause trouble for others!"

Shi Nanxi spoke softly, her face was gentle, but her tone was firm. Since she had no intention of vying for the throne from the beginning, she had to be faithful to the end. The most taboo thing was to give up and then be unwilling to do so, as this would not be a good thing for both sides.

Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi for a long time before he held her hand and said:

"I understand."

……

The thrilling day passed quickly, and the officials and their wives who were imprisoned in the palace were finally released, but they kept silent about what happened in the palace. However, with the punishment of the Tong family and Longkodo, and the imprisonment of various princes, undercurrents suddenly surged in the capital.

During that night, the prince was in a very serious condition. He had a fever twice, and the fever finally subsided at dawn the next day, and his condition stabilized.

"His Royal Highness has survived the most dangerous moment and is expected to wake up at any moment."

Following the announcements from Zhao Zuoyuanpan and Xiao Taiyi, Yin Yi, who had been unsure about leaving after a whole night, clenched his fists and cheered softly.

Soon Kangxi and Shi Nanxi also received the news. Kangxi rushed over despite his illness. When Yinyi saw his father, he rushed up and hugged him.

"Father Emperor, are you okay?"

He looked up with red eyes, looking around. He had been guarding the second prince yesterday. Since the emperor refused to allow the princes to visit, he was not really ignorant and did not go there at this critical moment. So this was the first time he saw the emperor since he fell into a coma yesterday.

Kangxi's eyes were gentle. He stroked Yinyi's head and said lovingly:

"Father Huang is fine. Fifteen loves his brother and has done a great job."

Yinyi rubbed his head against Kangxi's palm, looking obedient:

"That's right. I am the Emperor's child, and the Crown Prince is my second brother. It is my duty to protect my second brother."

Kangxi's expression became gentler. Yinyi also knew that the emperor father came to visit the second brother, the crown prince. After saying this, he stepped aside and left silently with his own emperor mother.

Kangxi walked to the bedside and looked at the unconscious prince. Even though he knew the news at this moment, he still felt heartbroken when he saw it with his own eyes.
