"Let's wait a bit. When arresting someone, we need to find the dirt on them. We don't have any evidence right now, so it's hard to handle this. After all, they are princesses of a country. Besides, it would be a waste to only catch small fish. Maybe we can catch a big one." Yinreng said mysteriously, clenching his fist.

Yinzhen didn't understand, but he just had to do as his second elder brother, the Crown Prince, said.

Yinreng smiled and then directed the carriage to continue forward. They couldn't leave empty-handed this time. At least they needed to know what this person looked like. How could he have such a tone and even want to compete with Consort Ming for the Emperor's father? He was dreaming. He needed to keep these things out of reach beforehand so that Consort Ming wouldn't be heartbroken later.

Yinreng and Yinzhen sat in a large restaurant not far away, leaning against the window watching the commotion outside, and taking the opportunity to fill their stomachs. They had come out hungry in order to get out as soon as possible, so now was the perfect time to eat.

As they were talking, Yinreng and Yinzhen ordered a large table of food. This restaurant was still owned by Mingxiu, and the food sold there was what Yinreng used to eat often.

The two of them started eating like crazy. They were both in the stage of being teenagers who could eat their fathers out of house and home, and their appetites were enormous. While eating, they kept an eye on what was happening outside.

After the two finished eating, they heard a commotion down below. Yinreng, holding a cup of tea, watched as several people walked towards them.

The woman at the head of the group wasn't wearing a veil today, so her face was fully revealed. Even someone like Yinreng, who had seen many beauties, couldn't help but be amazed, let alone the ordinary people below who hadn't seen much of the world.

The men below stopped in their tracks in shock, staring at her with rapt attention, oblivious to the pain of their ears being pulled.

The woman next to her was furious. She cursed him under her breath, calling him a little vixen, then grabbed her man's ear and spun him around, seething with hatred.

This must be Princess Tilan. Yinreng sat there, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at the princess with a somewhat serious expression.

He didn't think that being beautiful made him serious. Although the princess was indeed very beautiful, and Yinreng thought she was quite nice, Yinreng himself was not a womanizer. In addition, he knew from the beginning that she wasn't a very good person, so he naturally didn't have any other feelings. As for his father, the Emperor, Yinreng felt that he wouldn't be attracted to someone with impure intentions.

He was surprised because ever since they appeared, the cat had been talking in his ear about the person in the gray hooded hat standing behind the princess, who was also wearing a mask. Yinreng hadn't been able to see what the person looked like.

Yinreng frowned as he looked at the man. If the cat hadn't marked him when he appeared, he wouldn't have noticed him even though he knew there was someone there.

"That's really amazing!" Yinreng thought, finding it quite incredible. Noticing the man's gaze, he quickly looked away and hid in the shadows behind him.

The man in gray and his group looked up at the empty space above, frowning. He had clearly felt someone watching him, but when he looked up, he saw no one. No one had ever been able to see him without his permission before. Could it be that he had really seen wrong?

The man in gray was still puzzled. Yinzhen looked at Yinreng with curiosity as he hid behind his back, but he didn't say anything. It was obvious that the Crown Prince's second brother didn't want to be discovered.

After the people in front of him left, Yinreng sat back down and watched their backs.

"Second Brother, we've finished looking at the people. What's the next step?"

Yinreng squinted at the person in front of him and casually said, "Nothing much. It would be a shame not to take a look around after leaving the palace. Let's go out for a stroll for a bit and then go back to the palace."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Second Brother." Yinzhen said with a straight face. Although his face was expressionless, the smile and eagerness in his eyes were unmistakable.

After paying the bill, the two of them took their servants out for a stroll, heading in the opposite direction from where Tilan and the others had been.

Yinzhen rarely went shopping with Yinreng before, but this time they were in high spirits and shopped together. By the time they got back, it was already quite late.

After Yinreng returned, news about those people naturally came to him.

Yinreng looked at the contents of the letter and sneered. Sure enough, there were people in the capital who wanted to collude with them. He handed the letter to the person next to him: "Investigate. I need to know when these people started to conspire together."

"yes"

After seeing the people off, Yinreng waved and prepared to go see the Guarjia clan. Someone from Kangxi had already reported to him that the Crown Prince had been away all day.

Looking at the report in his hand, he placed it on the table, opened another battle report, and looked at the details of the battles and some discoveries that Yinzhi had handed him. Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. Both of his sons had reached the point where they could be given important responsibilities.

That's great!

Now all that's left is for the Crown Princess's baby to be born. Then he'll have a grandson, and Yinreng will be a fully grown-up. Many things can be handed over to him. Although Yinreng is dealing with these matters now, it's not quite the same.

After a few more years, once Chenghuan gets married, I can take Mingxiu on a sea voyage.

Emperor Kangxi was filled with anticipation, and watching his child grow up filled him with a sense of accomplishment.

This is my own child, that's wonderful.

After handing the matter over to Yinreng, Kangxi felt much more relaxed. After finishing today's business, he leisurely returned to his bedchamber and instructed Liang Jiugong that he needed to rest and that no one was allowed to enter.
