The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 338: When Kangxi and the Crown Prince saw the sky (Part )

On the first day of September in the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi reign, on his way back from his inspection tour outside the Great Wall, Kangxi had already decided to depose the crown prince.

Although all the wings behind the prince have been cut off at the suggestion of Kangxi in recent years, he is the only legitimate son of Kangxi, the last hope of the Hesheli family, and the successor in the minds of all royalists in the court. It would be untenable to rashly depose the prince.

He also knew that although the Crown Prince had many minor faults over the years, he had also been the target of even more foul water. For example, the Crown Prince had previously withheld tribute from foreign vassal states. In fact, both he and the people involved knew this. It was only when he, the Emperor, spoke out that the Imperial Household Department dared to release the tribute.

For example, the unfilial behavior that he imposed on the prince. He raised the prince with his own hands. If he had been unfilial, would he have loved him for so many years?

As for how he got along with his brothers? In fact, he understood that his sons were all bent on dragging the prince down with them. How many of them really wanted to obey the prince?

The last and most serious charge was treason. This was actually completely a figment of his imagination. He just couldn't stand the fact that the prince and Soetu were too close.

Later, Soetu was starved to death by his own order, and he just let it go out of shame and unknown emotions. Now he found an excuse to directly accuse Soetu of treason, which just happened to drag the prince into the water.

......

Kangxi was lost in thought when Liang Jiugong's panicked voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something's wrong."

Kangxi suddenly woke up from his sleep and realized that what he thought was sitting there in deep thought was just a dream. In fact, he was too tired and dozed off here with his hands on his cheeks.

"What's the matter? Come in and report."

Soon Liang Jiugong appeared in front of Kangxi: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the little prince, the imperial physician said the little prince's condition is not good."

Kangxi's upright body suddenly swayed. If it weren't for the chair behind him supporting him, he would have fallen down. "What's going on? Didn't you say in the afternoon that you were fine? Why is it getting worse now? Hurry up and get going. I want to go see Little Eighteen!"

When Kangxi arrived at the Eighteenth Prince's tent, the imperial physician had already shaken his head. Kangxi understood everything, but when he saw his youngest son become so emaciated in just a few days lying in bed, he burst into tears and fell to the side of the bed.

The Eighteenth Prince smiled at Kangxi and said, "Father, don't worry. Little Eighteen is feeling much better now and will be able to ride with you again soon."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi could no longer hold back and hugged his youngest son tightly. "Good, take good care of yourself. Your father is waiting to ride with you. Your mother and brothers are still waiting for you to return to the palace. Didn't you say before that you would bring the little rabbit for them? You can't break your promise!"

The Eighteenth Prince was getting weaker and weaker, but when he heard Kangxi's words, he still tried to raise his hand and touch Kangxi's face: "Father, don't cry, your son is not in pain anymore. Your son wants to tell you that he has no regrets about being your son in this life, and he wants to be your son in the next life. Your son can't bear to leave you."

Kangxi gently touched the swollen cheeks of the Eighteenth Prince with trembling hands, his eyes full of regret and self-blame. If he had not been so stubborn and not brought his youngest son to the frontier, would this have happened?

The Eighteenth Prince put his hand on Kangxi's with great effort and said, "Father, take care. Your son is leaving."

Then the next second, the hand fell heavily on the bed, and the Eighteenth Prince's eyes closed completely.

"Little Eighteen? Yinzhi? No, don't..."

Kangxi could not accept the fact that his favorite youngest son died in his arms, and he could no longer bear it and fainted.

"Your Majesty? Your Highness!"

"Huang Ama!"

When Kangxi woke up again, it was already midnight. The dim light made everything inside the mosquito net blurry and difficult to see clearly. Kangxi's eyes were already filled with tears. Because of him, Xiao Shiba died like this. He was now in deep regret.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Liang Jiugong's cautious voice came from outside the mosquito net, and it didn't seem so quiet even in the middle of the night.

Liang Jiugong had no choice. The emperor had fainted because of the Eighteenth Prince's matter, but there was no imperial decree about the youngest prince's funeral arrangements, so he didn't dare to move forward.

But what time is it now? It’s August. If there is no order to take care of this little prince’s body, it will become smelly.

"I'm awake." Kangxi also understood that this was not the time to indulge in sadness, not to mention that he had lost so many babies in his early years, and his psychological endurance was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Although it was a pity that Xiao Shiba happened, the imperial doctors had tried their best to treat him. In that case, except for flying back to the Forbidden City immediately to get medicine, even the immortals would find it difficult to save him.

Liang Jiugong quickly dressed Kangxi.

"How is Yinzhi? How is it handled?" Although he still felt a sharp pain in his chest when he mentioned Xiao Shiba, the most important thing at the moment was his funeral.

An eight-year-old baby died and could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so he could only be buried in a Feng Shui-good place.

"My lord, the matter concerning the Eighteenth Prince still needs your instructions." Liang Jiugong's meaning was very clear. If you don't say it, no one will dare to move.

But Kangxi was thinking at the moment: "What about the crown prince? Didn't he do anything?"

"My Lord, the Crown Prince has just left for his tent to rest. Before leaving, he instructed that the Eighteenth Prince's body be protected with ice. We will make the remaining plans after you wake up."

"What a bastard! He just watched his little brother being left there all alone and didn't do anything about it? This is outrageous. He has no brotherly manners and is unfit to take on such a responsibility!"

Liang Jiugong was so frightened by Kangxi's words that he immediately lowered his head. He thought carefully about his reply. Did he say something bad about the prince? Or did the prince do something unforgivable?

No, wasn't the Crown Prince simply unaware of his master's intentions and simply guarding the young prince's body, awaiting the Emperor's decision? How did this become a complete disregard for the situation? Furthermore, why was he deemed unable to shoulder the responsibility? Was the Emperor displeased with the Crown Prince? Or had the Crown Prince done something shady?

Kangxi didn't care what Liang Jiugong was thinking. After saying that, he strode towards the Eighteenth Prince and asked the guards to call all the princes and ministers brought this time.

The guards moved quickly, and when everyone arrived, they saw Kangxi sitting next to the little prince's body with a sullen face.

"Yinreng, kneel down."

It seemed that the prince had just fallen asleep not long ago. His clothes were still a little disheveled when he came over. Upon hearing what he heard, he immediately knelt in front of Kangxi.

"Tell me, why didn't you stay by Yinzhi's side? Why didn't you order someone to find a Feng Shui treasure land? Why didn't you come to check on Xiao Shiba when he was sick before? Are you so sure that the throne will definitely be yours? Don't you care about these brothers at all? You are so..."

Before Kangxi could finish, the world froze in the next second. Kangxi wanted to say something more, but he realized that everyone around him was acting strangely. They were all still, as if under a spell.

Then a bright white screen appeared in the sky, showing some images. When the screen gradually approached Kangxi, allowing him to see and hear clearly, he saw a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe roaring: "You are disloyal and unfilial, violent and unkind..."
