"Princess, they seem ready to clash at any moment! We need someone to light a spark right now," the woman in blue said to the woman in white who was sitting to the side drinking tea, putting down her monocular telescope.

"Alright, have Fatty and the others prepare a few arrows. Let them fight it out." The woman in white had already removed her veil, revealing herself to be Xi Niu, the one who sold lotus lanterns in Qi County. But now, she showed no trace of her former impoverished peasant girl appearance; not only had her clothes changed, but her entire demeanor had transformed.

"Yes," said the woman in light pink. Then, she withdrew and left.

"Princess, news has come from the Vultures that Wanyan Jinzhi has been captured," the woman in light green said as she entered to the woman in white.

"Understood." The woman in white was no longer Xi Niu; the women all called her "Princess," while the others called her "Cult Leader."

"Princess, our people have discovered that the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are not present; they seem to have vanished suddenly," said the woman in light pink.

"There's no need to wait any longer. Have Elder Luo and the others get moving immediately. Otherwise, once they bring reinforcements, it won't be easy for them to kill the Tartar emperor," the woman in white said.

Meanwhile, Fourth Master ordered Third Master to summon Qin Gang and instruct him to deploy men to slowly approach the crowd and expose those who were stirring up trouble among the people.

Just as Fourth Master was talking to the voices of the disaster victims, someone suddenly collapsed to the ground, shouting, "Murder! Murder!"

The crowd scattered like ants on a hot pan. Several people were lying on the ground, none of them with any external injuries, but blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths, and they lay motionless on the ground.

"The government is not giving us a way to survive. They won't send rain when we pray for it, and they're even killing people!"

"Don't be afraid, don't panic, these two people are not our doing!" Fourth Master saw that the crowd was starting to get chaotic, and if he didn't stop it, there was a high possibility of a stampede.

However, these disaster victims, who had lost their minds due to the drought, refused to listen to him at all. Some began to fight the officials with their bare hands, while most retreated. They were just disaster victims without water to drink, and did not have a major conflict with the government, so their first reaction was to retreat.

The Fourth Prince ordered the Prefect of the Capital to guide the people to a safe place and try to ensure their safe evacuation. However, just when the people thought they could leave safely, a group of people in official robes suddenly rushed in from behind, hacking at anyone they saw, regardless of whether they were unarmed civilians or officials of the Prefect of the Capital.

It all happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. Instantly, the entire perimeter of the Temple of Heaven became a scene of carnage. Swords flashed and shadows danced in chaos, screams and cries for help mingled together.

"Fourth Prince, who are we trying to save?" the Prefect of the Capital asked, looking at the chaotic situation.

"Protect the Emperor! Someone is taking advantage of the chaos!" Fourth Prince hurriedly stepped back and said.

"Qin Gang and his men are guarding the houses over there. The adults have all retreated to the Emperor's side. But are we just going to watch these disaster victims be slaughtered like this?" asked the Prefect of the Capital.

"We can't tell friend from foe right now, how can we rescue people? They don't trust us either, and if we go forward, we'll only increase our own casualties. Besides, Fourth Prince and Fourteenth Prince haven't arrived yet. We don't have many men, what if there are rebels mixed in here? So everyone retreat, protect Father Emperor, and wait for reinforcements!" Fourth Prince decisively ordered.

Jin Zhaoyin witnessed the Fourth Master's cold-bloodedness and decisiveness, but he silently admired him. At a moment like this, he had no choice but to retreat.

Soon, the Prefect of the Capital withdrew his men, while countless civilians were killed or wounded by the indiscriminate "prefectural soldiers." Once the Fourth Prince had a clear look at the men, he immediately dispatched archers to shoot and kill the bandits dressed in official robes.

Meanwhile, Kangxi listened to the sounds of fighting outside from inside the house, while Liang Jiugong continuously reported the situation to him.

"Father, please let me out. I can easily kill those troublemakers and make them never dare to cause trouble again." Prince Heshuo was already feeling very uneasy as he listened to the sounds outside. He had not ordered them to kill anyone, but the situation outside was clearly out of control.

"No one is allowed to leave this room at this time. Just leave it to the fourth prince to handle," Kangxi said, standing by the window and looking at the chaotic scene outside.

“Father, the Fourth Prince has hardly ever been on the battlefield. How could he let those rioters kill each other over there?” Prince Heshuo said, looking at the chaotic situation outside.

"Your subject believes that Fourth Brother's actions at this moment are correct. It is clear that some of those rioters have ulterior motives and are taking advantage of the situation. At this moment, they can only protect themselves. Why haven't Tenth and Fourteenth Princes returned yet?" Eighth Prince asked.

Seeing Kangxi's gloomy expression, Prince Yinqi dared not say another word. They could only silently watch the fighting outside the window.

At this moment, fighting also broke out on the outskirts of the Temple of Heaven. The Fourteenth Prince and the Tenth Prince had arrived with a thousand Imperial Guards. They were attacked by unidentified assailants outside.

Just as the blood was about to flow like a river, a sudden, violent clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and streaks of lightning flashed across the horizon like startled dragons.

"It's raining! It's raining!" someone started shouting frantically.

As large raindrops pelted down, the blood on the ground was washed away by the rain, turning it into a river of blood. Fourth Master and Qin Gang worked together to shoot the group of thieves impersonating government officials one by one. The common people knelt on the ground like fools, not caring whether there were corpses on the ground or not, all with their hands raised, looking up at the sky, not knowing whether they were crying or laughing.

Fortunately, the situation was quickly brought under control by the Fourth Prince, and the corpses of the group of thieves who were impersonating government officials and soldiers were dragged to their respective locations and arranged by the people of the Jingzhao Yin.

When the people saw that it had actually rained, they felt awe that the emperor's prayer for rain had indeed succeeded, and they dared not run around or move about anymore. They all sat quietly on the ground.

Meanwhile, the bandits who took the opportunity to cause trouble were either killed or wounded, or fled. Among them were several women in colorful dresses who escorted a woman in white as she rode away.

They rode the horses that had been prepared in advance, braving the heavy rain, and began to gallop out of the city.

"Fourteenth, what are you doing?" Tenth Master asked hurriedly when he saw Fourteenth mount a horse.

"I'll go after her! I won't come back until I catch her this time." With that, Fourteen spurred his horse and immediately gave chase.

"You lot, follow the Fourteenth Prince! Quickly, don't let anything happen to him!" the Tenth Prince said to the imperial guards beside him.

The men quickly mounted their horses and gave chase. But the rain was so heavy that they soon disappeared from sight.
